He is the cenU-r of a controversy controver-sy which he moved heaven and earth to avoid, but which inexor-ablv inexor-ablv drew him into its vortex. There is nothing which Mr. Hughes dislikes more than controversy. con-troversy. He used all his persuasive persuas-ive eloquence, all the weight of his prestige, all the power of his careful legal reasoning to heal the breach between the liberal and conservative wins of the court. But the greater his effort, the greater the conflict appeared to become. REASONABLE Hl'GHES In order to understand the unhappy un-happy predicament in which the chief justice now finds himself, it is necessary to know something of his background.

SX DIE IN COAST EXPLOSION Collision of Ore Train With Loaded Powder Train Disastrous SPRING GARDEN, Calif., Feb. 20 (U.R) Four miners were killed outright and two suffocated by gas when an ore train struck a powder train, causing- a terrific explosion ex-plosion which shook the drifts and stopes of the Walker copper cop-per mine near here. Five other men on the same level were knocked down by the concussion, but their injuries were slight and they aided fellow workers work-ers on the night shift in removing the bodies of the victims. Two Victims Suffocated The four who were killed instantly in-stantly were riding on the ore train when it collided with a loaded load-ed powder train. The two other victims were working in a shaft above the point of the explosion and were overcome by gas, according ac-cording to L. F. Bayer, manager of the mine. The six who were killed were Lloyd Gilbert, Pat Burns, Herbe Blauel and W. Schasker, riding on the train, and Louis Ghina and Carl Doming, working in a shaft. Burns was the only victim who was married. Because of the "hard rock'' nature na-ture of the mine, the explosion caused no serious damage to the drift where the blast occurred. It demolished the powder train and wrecked a section of thetrack-Accident thetrack-Accident Cause Unknown "Since the only witnesses the four men riding on the train were killed," Bayer told the United Unit-ed Press, "we don't know what caused the accident why the ore !train ccfllided wath, the powder train. We can only guess. We don't know whether the train got out of control, whether a thrown switch was responsible, or what caused the collision. "Perhaps our investigation, in collaboration with the stated-industrial accident commission, raaj determine the cause." Although the accident occurred about 10 o'clock last night, word of the tragedy did not reach the outside world until today. The Walker mine is "snowed in" for the winter, and can be reached only by means of a tram line used to transport ore from the mine to a railroad spur at Spring Garden. The nearest town of considerable size is Quincy, 12 miles from here.

STANDING IN I For the Plan 93 ; Against the Plan 175 The first 30,000 votes in the nation-wide supreme court poll being conducted by NEA Service and The Herald showed a majority against the president's proposals that came near three to one. The exact totals were 8349 for the plan, and 21,668 against it. These figures include early totals from 74 .cities in 26 states. Very few cities had completed their vote, and scores taking the poll had not yet reported at all, thus forecasting a huge total vote and confirming con-firming widespread public interest in the proposed plan to alter the personnel of the nation's highest tribunal.

The White House did not an- nounce the senators asked to meet with the president in the privacy of the White House proper, but it was revealed that one group would be senate leaders and the other the progressive bloc. It was assumed that Senator Joseph P. Robinson, D., Ark., majority ma-jority leader; Sen. Henry" F. As-hurst, As-hurst, D., Ariz., judiciary committee commit-tee chairman, and Sen. Sherman Minton, D., Ind.. will be included among the senate leaders who were called for a 5 o'clock session.

Sale By Drink Proposal Stirs Battle In House Utah County Legislator Puts Up Efforts To Table Liquor Measure SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 20 UR Rep. William D. Wood, Ogden, moved today to insert a sale by drink clause in senate bill 71, now before the house, and stirred up what promises to be the major battle of the session. Always a touchy subject, the move to amend created a storm of debate that swept the floor of the house during most of the session. Lundell Makes Attempt A determined effort by Rep. Francis F. Lundell, Benjamin, Utah county, to table the liquor bill late today failed in the house. The bill was under consideration until a late hour Saturday. Wood's motion would insert in the senate bill part of his house bill which provides for sale of liquor by the drink in hotels, restaurants, and clubs of certain classifications. Predicted Friday His action follows out Friday's prediction that he would put the question" of sale' by 'tfflrik squarely square-ly before the house in an attempt to get the controversial measure settled once and for all. Mose Holbrook, one of the sponsors of the original Utah liquor control bill which provided the state with its present control system, was one of the chief opponents. He claimed the bill was discriminatory dis-criminatory in the extreme. He said the license fee was exorbitant, exorbit-ant, and would limit the number of hotels and restaurants able to sell liquor with meals under provisions pro-visions of the amendment to certain cer-tain preferred institutions in larger larg-er cities, and would set up a condition con-dition whereby the common people peo-ple could not make available the privilege of purchasing single drinks. House Roan No Holbrook struck at the bill also on the grounds that it would encourage en-courage new drinkers, chiefly among the younger set. Rep. P. S. Marthakls, in order to "alleviate the sad condition painted by Brother Holbrook" moved that the conditions of the amendment be amended to permit smaller hotels , in the cities of first, second and third class to sell liquor. In answer to his amendment, the house roared no, roared no again when he proposed to recommit re-commit the bill to the judiciary committee, and bellowed no a (Continued on Page Three) TRUCK LICENSE BILL TABLED SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. 20 U.E The senate late today tabled senate bill 55, controversial truck ton mileage tax bill which would raise the Public Service commission license fees on certain classes of carriers according to weight.

Unless either Utah or Utah State makes a clean sweep of their series at Salt Lake next week, Montana will be undisputed champion. Ctes Smothered The Cougars, fighting their hearts out m their last game of the season, smothered the, Utah scorers with a close-guarding at tack. Guss Black, deceptive little guard, played a whale of a game. He intercepted pass after pass directed to Utah scorers, and he started several Cougar scoring plays down the floor. Charley Roberts and Bob Detmers also turned in fine defensive games. Earl Giles ended his collegiate career with a 11-point performance. perform-ance. Nine of these came in the first half aa he kept the Cougars in the race during that period. The half-time score was 18-18. Utah's rotating fiverman defense de-fense failed to bother the Cougars as much as it did Friday night. Apparently beaten as Utah stepped into a 24-18 lead just after the second half began, the Cougars cam back wijh a fighting attack that swept the Redskins off their feet. A field goal by Earl Giles and foul pitches by Black, Kump, and Detmers Det-mers knotted the count at 25-all. Stan Watts, Cougar forward, then went on a sensational scoring scor-ing spree that put the Sons of Brigham out in front, 33-25, with 2H; minutes to go. Two goals from near the center of the court sailed from Watt's fingers, with another, a moment later to top off his performance while down on the floor.
