Committee Back
From Stuart
NINE COMMITTEES ACCOMPLISH,
20 NOTHING DIDN'T

CHARLESTON. Feb. 14s-After a
day spent at the Smart mine, the
joint legislative committee which is
conducting an investigation OF the re-
cent disaster there. returned to the
city Tuesday morning. The members
are frank to admit that they accom-
|piished nothing by their visit as they
found 1t impossible to enter the mine.
However. they examined several wit.
nesses and made arrangements to take
further Testimony in this city.
This commission Is composed OF
Senators Gartlan and Kidd and Dele.
gates Duty, Stricklin and Mitchell. At.
torney. General Clark w. May, who
was instructed by the Legislature to
assist the committee, also made the
trip to Stuart, as did Mr.. Carl Frame,
one of the Senate stenographers.
Senator Gartlan, chairman Of the
committee, stated that SO far only n
expert has been secured, Mr.. Brooks,
OF clarksburg. Mi. Brooks accom-
panied the committee to the mine and
will spend. some days there to pursue
his investigation.
So badly damaged was the mine by
the force of the explosion that when
the committee appeared on the scene
it was found impossible to so down.
The pumps have not been working for
several days and other parts of the
machinery are broken.
Delegates stricklin, Mitchell and
Duty went down In the shaft Of the
Scarbro mine a short distance away to
%familiarize themselves with the condi.
tons surrounding a shaft mine. Meth
er of the Senators made this trip.
The witnesses examined Monday
were men who have been employed at
the Stuart mine. It is stated that
their testimony was not material and
that practically nothing has been de-
veloped. Arrangements were made
to have a large number of witnesses
appear here to-day to give their evil
dence.
Chairman Gartlan states that the
hearings will be continued and that
they will be held in the governors re-
ception room. 1t is not likely that
the committee will engage other coun-
sci. although empowered to do SO, as
Attorney General May is giving the
matter his personal attention.

been falling rapidly, began suddenly
to rise again. Similar warm strata had
also been discovered over Europe, he
