CLEANED by government experts acting
under orders from Secretary Garfield
of the interior department to investi-
gate the nature and extent of mine
accidents, particularly those resulting
from explosions and also to make sug-
gestions as to how mining conditions
may be improved and accidents pre-
vented.
George Otis Smith, director of the
geological survey, through explosive
experts, made number of eXamina-
tions of the more dangerous coal mines
of Indian Territory. In addition the
nature and causes of a number of dis
astrous mine explosions in several
of the states were made public.
The conclusions of the experts on
coal mine accidents, their causes and
preventions. The statement in the
bulletin that an increase in the number
and in the seriousness of mine ex-
plosions may be expected to continue
has already proven fateful for since
the words were written the country
has been startled with the news of
three mine eXlosiOns costing nearly
500 lives. The first explosion occurred
in Pennsylvania in the early part of
December, and cost 321 lives, then fol-
lowed the Monongah mine disaster in
West Virginia with a loss of nearly
400 lives, and the explosion in Ala
bama the other day with siyty-one
lives lost.

dent: Il have received no answer

you have stated to them in writing that

me that there is no disturbance threat

ought not to be able to cope with. l

government does it's full constitutional
duty in the matter of preserving order,
but this readiness on the part of the
national government does not excuse
the stategOvernment for failure to per-

be sought for by the state as a method
of relieving itself from this duty and
the state should not be permitted to
substitute the United States for the

airy duties Of maintaining order within
the state. I have directed the troops
to return to their former station on
Monday, December 30, next.

and other conditions. Nor are all OF
these impurities harmful in water
intended for domestic use land very
few of them may be.) but owing to
the fact that water may be the agent
for spreading certain diseases, 1t Is
essential that care be taken to get a
supply that Is free from harmful con-
stituents.
Impurities may either be dissolved
in the water or carried in suspension
by it: and they may be OF animal.
vegetable or mineral origin. Hardness
in water Is due TO the presence of com
pounds of lime in quantities large
enough to make a water UNIT for
laundry purposes.
The greatest danger to which do
mestic supply is subject. however. is
the possibility of contamination by
decaying animal matter and wastes.
Typhoid fever and other diseases re-

therefore. important that any source
OF supply should be guarded. In those
cases where the water comes down az

DEATHS GRIM TALLY
AT HL.FATED MINE

Jacobs Creek, Pa, Dec. 21.-Up to II
o'clock today but six bodies had
been removed from the Darr mine, the
scene of the terrible explosion. 1t is
thought the recovery of the bodies
is merely matter of hours.
Many miners believe the explosion
was caused by the gas in the "gobs,"
a name given the worked out section of
the mine. These places accumulate gas,
and the men express the opinion that
the gas escaped into the newer en-
tries.
The rescuers expect to find most of
the bodies in entries Nos. 27 and 20,
which is nearly a mile further back
than they had been able to penetrate
yesterday morning.
Every man missing and supposed to
be in the mine was a member of the
beneficial association of the company.
Their heirs will receive $3.50 and fun
eral benefits. The members of the as
sociation contributed s4O0 to the relief
of thesuffering by the recent disaster

This is the third mine disaster since
the first of the month in the veins Of

Pennsylvania and West Virginia. for

and the two mines at Monongah, w.

happened, are in the same belt as the

DEATHS GRIM TALLY
IN AMERICAN MINES

Washington, Dec. 20.-The coal
mines of the United States are killing
three times as may men per 1000
employees as those of most European
countroies. In the last seventeen years
22,S40 men have given up their lives
in the mines of this country. AS many
violent deaths have occurred in the
mines during the last six months as
during the preceding eleven years.
The number of accidents each year
is now double that of the year 1895.
In 1906, 6,S61 men were killed or in
iured in the mines, the dead number
ing 2,061, and the injured 4,S00.

On account of the violence OF the
explosion which rent the interior of
the mine and the presence OF fire, with
the blocked condition Of the mouth Of

much chance for the men inside.
Whether they have survived or will
survive Is one OF the uncertainties of
the present hour.
There Is no means Of doing more
than to guess whether 1t was gas or

The scene OF the explosion Is on the

Of the Youghiogheny river. Jacobs

more & Ohio railroad Is across the

burg and eighteen miles ives: OF Con-

Within a few minutes after the ex-
plosion the mouth of the pit was sur
rounded by the relatives and friends
of the men. The scenes were most
pitiful. The smoke and flames issuing
from the slope made it impossible to
enter and the wives and children were
frantic.
Every effort Is being made to sub

made. 1t Is stated that the superin-

imprisoned; that he went into the
mine to investigate its condition and
was caught in the explosion.

is said $50 took their checks OF this

Jacobs Creek. Pa, Dec. 20.-Of the
two hundred or more miners who were
made prisoners in the Darr mine Of the
Pittsburg Coal company by a terrific
explosion at noon yesterday, the bodies
of thirty, this morning lie in the main
entry where they we're laid during the
night by the rescuers until they can
be brought to the surface. Some Of the
bodies are dismembered and mangled
and all are distorted by the agonies
of violent death. There is a faint hope
cherished by the rescuers and friends
OF the dead men that some of the men
may have survived the explosion and
are awaiting relief far back in the
mine.
Connellsville, Pa, Dec. 20.-Four hun
dred miners are entombed in the Darr
mines of the Pittsburg Coal company
at Jacobs Creek, on the Youghiogheny
river, eighteen miles west OF mere. OF
these 400, fully 100 are Americans, the
rest being principally Hungarians.
A terrific explosion shook the vicin-
ity OF the mine at 1:30 this morning
and announced to all the surrounding
community that a great confusion OF
some kind had occurred down under
the surface.
Shortly afterward smoke began to
issue in great columns from the mouth
OF the mine which is of the slope va
riety. The mouth Of the mine waf
wrecked and this circumstance in con.
nection with the fire which was dis
covered to be raging inside prevented
effectually, up to 1 p. m, any attempt
at rescue Of the prisoners.
