WOULD MAKE MINING SAFER
SERVICES OF FOREIGN EXPERTS
CALLED UPON.
Six Weeks Tour of the Coal Regions
Just Finished-Report to Sec
rotary Garfield to Follow.

Three of the great powers of Europe
have just sent their mining experts on a
trip of inspection through this country
at the request of the United States gov
eminent with a view to reducing the
death rate among miners. These gentle
men have just finished a six-week tour
of the coal mining regions, and will make
a report to the Secretary of the Interior
embodying their views on the needs Of
American mines as to supervision and
safety devices.
The experts are Capt Arthur Des-
borough of England. his majesty's chief
of explosives; Victor Watteyne of Bel
GUM, chief administrator of mines, and
Carl Neissner. private superior coun-
selor of mines in Germany. These gen.
tlemen called on the President at the
White House yesterday and left Washing
ton last night. They will send back a
report to the Secretary of the Interior.
Guarded in Their Remarks.
They were very guarded in their state
ments as to what this report would rec
ommend, but it probably will contain
some radical suggestions as to the man.
agement of American coal mines. One
thing that they did say concerning their
observations was that they were aston
iShed at the wealth of coal resources
shown In this country, the thickness of
the veins, the stability of the mine roots
and similar features all appealed to them
very strongly. They said that in the
European mines they were working at a
profit veins which would not be touched
commercially by the mine owners in this
country. This is borne out by the fact
that the mines abroad are making and
selling briquetts at a profit and are util-
iZing all of the coal waste which is still
thrown away in this country.
The visitors were accompanied on their
Holmes, the chief of the archaeological
branch of the geological survey.
Accidents in This Country.
The call for the experts was the re-
suit of the several very disastrous acct
dents in coal mines last summer. This.
country in 1906 killed 2.O61 people in the
mines and in 1907 the death list totaled
1926. This was at the date of 4.S5 per
LOCO while in the mines abroad the
death rate is only / per 1000. This gov
eminent has established an experimental
station at Pittsburg for the study of mine
conditions and it is believed that with
proper supervision there is no necessity
for the death rate among miners in this
country being any higher than it is in
Europe. All of the countries represented
by this visiting commission have ex-
perimental stations similar to that now
established by this government, and their
reports will probably save at least two
years time in experimental work.

he had been placed. he had no doubt as
to the peoples choice.

campaign, he deplored the aSpersions cast
upon the judiciary and the coercion
of legislators.

directed his efforts. to use the words OF
his story to the "rousement" of his au-
dience. Those who want revision OF
the tariff, he asserted, have hope OF
getting a wise and sensible revision if
Taft is elected. but absolutely none in
the event of Bryan'S election.
1.-THE whole question will be settled in
the last two weeks of the campaign he
said when the people, as they always
do, brush aside the immaterial and tic-
titious issues that have been raised on the
hustings and elsewhere and settle down to
business.
."They will ask themselves, which party,
If placed in power, will do me the most
good; which party, If placed in power,
will do the country the most good? Their
answer will settle the question. And
