Omaha, Neb., Aug. 22.--The theft Of

10 SAVE MINERS LIVES.
Station With Gallery for Explosions and
a Rescue Room.

In order to protect miners from gas
and coal dust explosions, the government
is going TO begin experiments, probably
at Pittsburg.
A station Is to be established. consist
ing of an explosive gallery, rescue room
observation house, lamp.testing rooms
and explosives laboratory. The gallery
Is to be made of boiler plate aud will
be in the form of cylinder 100 feet
long and six feet in diameter. A series
Of safety valves on hinges will be ar
ranged along the top to allow the escape
OF gas following an explosion.
Portfolios along the sides, covered with
half.ineh glass, win allow those in the
observation house TO see whether an ex-
plosion has taken place in the gallery
during the tests. The cylinder viii be
filed with fire damp and air or coal
dust and air and the explosives win be
hurled into the gallery by means of a
steel mortar fired by electricity from an
observation house sixty feet away. The
maximum quantity OF each explosiSe
that can safely be used in mines viii
be published under the head of "Per-
missible Explosives"
\ pressure gauge Will DC uaeu 1oi
measuring the actual pressure in pounds
per square inch developed by detonation
Of various explosives. The analysis OF
the products of combustion will also be
Nmade. The heat OF decomposition of all
explosives in terms of calories will be as
eertained by decorating large quantities
in the bomb.
The explosives will be fired from the
mortar at night, and the length of the
flame will be determined by photogra-
ply. The time of the flame will also
be determined by an electrical appar-
atus.
The rescue room viii resemble the in
interior Of mine, and during the tests
will be filed with smoke. The efficiency
Of all apparatus for sustaining life will
be determined by series Of tests. Min
ers will be shown how TO rescue their
fellow miners.
The experiments win be made under
the direction Of Joseph A. Holmes, chief
OF the technologic branch OF the geo

That He Directed Murder Of
ArmenianS.
BOMB EXPERIM ENTS
Made at Worcester, Mass.--Leader Of
Hunchagist death Committee" Is
Charged With Part in Assassi-
nation of Rich Armenian.

New York, Aug 22.--Manoog Grra-
gian, leader of the Hunchagist death
committee of four, which controlled the
destinies Of thousands of thousands Of
wealthy Armenians, condemning to
death any who refused to submit to
blackmail, has been arrested in Chi
cago. According to his confession it was
he who passed final sentence on Hovan-
mes $. TavshaDjian, the wealthy rug
merchant, who was shot on July 20 on
Union square by the fanatic Bedros
Khacadorian.
A bomb factory in Waukegan, ILL.,,
was also discovered. Here were manu-
featured the internal machines used by
the Hunchagist assassins
According 70 the confession wrung
from Guargian he was sent east by the
Hunchagist society to experiment with
nitroglycerine and explosives at Worces-
ter, Mass, and other eastern cities.
When Tavshanjian refused to con.
tribute Kissak Jellallian was sent from
New York to Chicago to secure per-
mission TO murder him.
Jellalian sought out the members of
the Deschnastsagan society and was
taken TO the Armenian headquarters OF
the Deschnasagan, where he preached
the idea of numbering Tavshanjian and
man named Bratonian, editor o fan
Armenian paper called the "Ahzg," in
Boston.
The society, however, refused TO coun-
tenance assassination, 70 he approached
the death committee" Of the new
Hunchagist, composed OF an engraver, a
rug merchant, laborer and the owner
Of a shoe string shop, voted the death
as Jellailian desired.
That the Chicago committee is the
central committee Of the Armenian re-
volutionaries was admitted by more
than one member Of the three local rev.
dictionary Hunchagist society are not
mandatory unless issued by the commit
tee which gave Jellallian the death
order" for Tayshaniian.
This committee, it is asserted by ex-
members, sent Vartanian and Affarian
from Chicago to murder Ebbig Bey, the
Turkish governor OF Salonka, dho was
alleged to have betrayed Armenian se.
crets.
The incident caused international com
plcations. both Vartanian and Affarian
being American citizens. AfFarian, who
is now serving an IS year sentence in
Turkey, is the nephew OF Manoog Cur.
agian.
Gnragian declared that all that he OF
any other Armenian desired was the
death OF the Sultan of Turkey. He in.
sisted that the bombs made in Wauke-
gan were for the benefit of the Sultan
alone.

fighters who did valiant service there

his pioneers has descended race of
men, who, measured by achievement,

himself were enacted in an obscure cor

not less than that of other men whose
fame is brighter because the theatre of
their action was more in the gaze of the
world. His character was Of the grim,
austere type Of the Scotch Covenanters,
from whom he sprung. Accepting for
his guidance in life the gloomy tenets
of pure Calvanism, and applying Is pit
