TO PREVENT EXPLOSIONS.
The Cause Attributed to the Accumu-
lation Of Coal Dust.

Il think anything is practicable that
will save lives and the destruction Of
property, said Inspector Earl Henry,
on the stand in the Monongah investa-
Of the Fourth West Virginia district,
cation Saturday. Henry had joined
with the other inspectors in making
report TO Chief Paul, in which their
opinion as to the cause of the explo-
sion was given.
These inspectors attributed the ex-
plosion to accommodations of coal dust
In the mines and on the stand Henry
stated that not only tneihaulways and
air courses should be well watered to
lay the dust, but the rooms and work
ing places as we'll. He suggested that
in future it would be well to do this
and when asked il this would be prac-
ticable, he gave the above reply
The West Virginia inspectors who
testified Saturday were Mr.. Henry, J.
A. Straghan, James G.. Boyd, John
Philips. D. R. Philips, f. " Byrne
and Frank Parsons.
Most of them suggested a sprinkling
system Of mine rooms and several sug
gested that mines be piped with
water for this purpose or watering by
means of electric pumps and hose
This latter system is in use in the
New England mines of the Fairmont
Coal company and the inspectors
had seen it in operation
