COAL MINE EXPLOSION.

Now Theory Advanced as to the
Conditions Producing Them.
Experts who have made investiga-
lions Of ths recent mine disasters, not
ably those OF Monongah and Jacobs
Greek, have come to the conclusion
that the explosions are caused by ell
matte conditions.
Supporting the position taken, 1t Is
a noticeable fact, they say, that the
recent catastrophes have occurred at
about the same hour in the day, in a
zone Of certain altitude, in about the
same longitude and in places where
climatic conditions are similar The
majority of the mines operated to-
day are below the level Of the streams
In the same sections and, owing to the
moisture, the outside air forced into
the mines by the fans has been laden
with carbon dioxlde moisture and 9th
err impurities.
1t is suggested that II the air forced
into the mines was gathered from 9
higher stratum and was heated sufh
GENTLY and otherwise treated to re
move the impurities the accidents
would be less numerous during tn,
change OF seasons. Proper ventila
ton with this purified air. II is be
lieved, will remove to a great exten
the coal dust and explosive case
which are found to a certain exten
| in every mine.

Complete Change In Department Re.
commended by Commission.
Hire Director of Poste-Commission
Appointed Suggests Long Term
for Head of Department at High
Salary and Cutting Out Much Red
Tape of Present Methods

Washington, Feb. 11.-Congress
today received a preliminary report
of the joint commission appointed
during the last congress to investi-
gate the business methods of the
postoffice department and postoffice
service and submit recommendation
for legislation to, effect changes in
their administration. The commits
sion, consisting of Senators Penrose,
Carter and Clay, and Representatives
Overstreet, Gardner of New Jersey,
and Moon, points out many objec-
tionable methods of both depart
ments. Among the recommendations
| is a plan to place the actual direc-
ton of the business of the postoffice
department under the service of an
officer, with necessary assistants to
be appointed by the president, by
and with the advice and consent of
the senate for long terms, so as
to insure the continuance of efficient
service. Under the plan the post
master general, as a member Of the
cabinet, is chargeable with general
supervisory control and the determi-
nation of question of policy.
The commission also recommends
that the business of the department
be decentralized so as to avoid the
congestion at the national capita
which impairs the efficiency and in
lcreases the cost of the service; thai
the bookkeeping, auditing and ac
counting be simplified, unified ant
centralized to secure greater accur
lacy, more prompt methods and elm
nation of duplication of work; ant
THAT the practice of requiring need
less detailed reports from small post
4 Offices be discontinued. The moder
ate application of the non-accountini
lsystem to small offices will eliminat
: about 10000, or nearly one-half, 0
all the postoffice accounts from tn
present complex report and book
keeping system, or would at leas
greatly simplify the same. The com
mission says:
1T appears too obvious to requir
argument that the most efficient ser
/, vice can nevere be expected as Ion
as the direction of the business i!
as at present entrusted to a posi-
: master-general and certain assistant
selected without special reference
expedience and qualifications an
: subject to frequent change. Unde
t such a system large railroad, con
