NONONGAH NINE DISASTER
COrOner's Jury ExGfleratcS Coal Com
pany From Responsibilities for Loss
of Life.

Fairmont, W. Va, January 15.-The
coroner's jury today returned its YER
dict in connection with the investiga-
tion of the Monongah mine disaster.
It finds that the explosion was due to
either a blown shot or to ignition of
powder which, in turn ignited the gas
in the mine. 1t finds that there were
traces Of gas in the mines No. ard
No. 8, but not in dangerous quantities,
that the company complied with all
the states regulations and took all
reasonable precautions, such as sprink-
ling for the keeping down of the coal
dust and practically exonerates the
Fairmont Coal Company from respon-
sibility for the loss Of life. The jury
also recommended that six additional
state inspectors be appointed for a
more thorough inspection of the mines
in the state.
The jury also recommends that as
there are many unsolved problems
connected with coal mine explosions in
the United States that congress make
an appropriation for the establishment
OF a bureau of investigation and in
formation to aid in the study of the
various conditions under which exnlo-
slons occur and as to how they may
be prevented"

Al d meeting of the executive COM
Eit1ee oe the State Firemen's Associa-
ton, held at the ZinZendorf hotel in
Winston on Tuesday night it was de-
csded that the next annual liz Getting OF
the association and tournament will be
held in Wilmington. the decision hav-
ing been learned of with great pleas
and convention met in this city last
ye;xr and the unusual compliment
paid this city by selecting it twice in
succession for the event shows that the
fremen had a royal time and that they
are anxious to visit hospitable Will
mingtOn once again.
The meeting in Winston, lasted for
several hours, adjournment not having
been taken until after midnight, the
committee having found it necessary
to go through large number OF COM
unications from various departments
i'm the state before arriving at a decis-
ION as to the next netting place..
Salisbury and Asheville invited the
frenen, but the best proposition came
from Wilmington. 1t is Left With Pres
fdent Mcneil and the Wilmington FIRE
men as to whether the tournament
feature shall be eliminated. The time
OF the next meeting Is also left with
President McNeill and the Wilmington
fremen. The meeting was held after
the adjournment of the regularly quar-
,terly meeting of the association Of
Winston and Salem firemen, which was
held in the court house President
McNeill and Mr.. Won Claim of Will

ent were' President James ID. McNeil1
of Fayetteville; Secretary w. G.. Von-
Claim of Wilmington, and Secretary

1t is thought probable that the tour
nament will be held in June, instead
of in August as hereto fore, and no time
will be lost by Chief Schnibben and

in commencing arrangements for the
big event, which will probably be the
most successful and largely attended

Bishop Henry Yates Saterlee de-
clared himself opposed to prohibition
in addressing a meeting Ct the Wo-
mems Interdenominational Union at
the First Congregational church. yes
terday afternoon.
"I am opposed to prohibition" said
Bishop Satterlee, after being introdu-
ced by the presiding officer, Mrs John
N. Culberson. when the moral sent-
ment OF the community cannot enforce
such laws. Such a condition prevails
in the District and for this reason
alone 1 am opposed to prohibition.
prohibition has been tried in other
places, and 1t has been found want
ing. In Maine, which Is pointed out as
the first place where prohibitory laws
we're enacted, prohibition Is farce
because the laws are not backed by
the moral sentiment of the commun-
fty. AS prohibition has not the moral
backing Of the people of the District
I do not believe in the enactment OF

tour years the association has pursued
its work without interruption. The
board is looking this year for the best

Gon. Every Wilmingtonian, and those
within her gates who are interested

feel able to give

A SERMONET FOR WORKERS

[For the News by II J Hapgood
Employers want men who combine
with ambition and natural talents, hon
esty and the capacity Tor hard wo k.
But why lay such stress on honestly"
''The honesty OF employees is Euaipn-
teed by bonding companies In fact,
they often make employees financially
honest by holding over them the coa-
slant threat Of detection and punish
nent. But they have to do only with
financial integrity. The employees whose
dishonesty is the most costly are often
those who would never take a cent from
the till but who dcfraud the employer
through thofts of time, through half
hearted effort. or through placing their
own interests above those OF the firm.
Honesty means something more than
financial reliability. 1t is the quality
which makes man work without
watching the clock, or being afraid
that he will give his employer more
value than he is being paid for. The
honest employee brings to his work the
best effort that he is capable OF, and
begIudges nothing where the inter-
ests of his employer are ut stake.
young man was recently applying
to a well known employer for posi-
ton. He was in the midst of rather
glowing description of his peculiar
qualities for the place, when the en-
ployer Interrupted him with: Never
mind about all this. There is just one
thing | want to know. win you wo k?"
Every man who intends to make him
self Of value to his employer and win
advancement (and the two so hand in
hand, despite all that pessmists may
say) must have this capacity for work.
No matter how great his ability. how
thorough his education or how attrac-
tive his personality these qualities are
as worthless as locomotive without
fuel, unless braced UP by persistence
and energy. He may be retained for
time because of his ability, but in the
long race he will be found wanting,
Some day his employer win be forced
TO give the position which he has hoped
for, and which, by his natural talents,
he is pre-eminently fitted to I'LL, to n
man who. although less capable, has
shown himself to he a worker.
