United States Senator Levi An

GREAT FATALITY
IN COAL MINES
uopsT YEAR IN HISTORY OF IN
nUSTRY-AVERAGE q DEATHS
AND INJURIES, ~ DAILY-EX-
pIOsrONS NOT WORST.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Accidents
- coal mines of the United States
a,ring the last calendar year result
ed in the death OF 3412 and injury to
rs14 more, according to statistics
inst made public by the geological
snryev. The death record among tke
coa, miners during the year was
greater by 1888 than in 1906. and
e said to have been the worst year
in the history of the coal mining
industry The figures do not repre-
cont the full extent of the disasters.
As reports were not received from
certain states not having mine in
spectors.
statistics do not bear out the idea
+hat most mine disasters result from
ovnlosions. OF the total number re-
norted during the last year 947
deaths and 343 injuries resulted
from gas and dust explosions and
POI deaths and 416 injuries were
caused by powder explosions. The
chief cause of death among the min
ers. the report explains, was due to
the falling of mine roofe and coal.
Such disasters caused 1922 deaths
and 2141 injuries.
z, w. Parker. chief statistician OF
the survey. asserts that much bene-
At will result from the action of con-
gress in appropriating $150,O00 to
investig gate mine disasters and take
steps to decrease the number Of ac-
cidents each year He says one OF
the greatest needs cf the coal mining
industry is the enforcement of mill
tary discipline in the operation Of
the mines.

BOMB IHR0XER
IS DISCOVERED
FIFTY YEARS AN EXILE FOR
MAN WHO ESCAPED DEATH ON
WAY TO GALLOWS- -ENGLISH
WIFE HIS RESCUER.

San Francisco, Sept. 29.-The Call
Comte Gammil,o De Rudio, an ltal.
ian exile who threw one of tn,
bombs that shattered the carrieg of
Emperor Louis Napoleon III. and
Empress Eugene, killing 10 and In
juring $50 others in Paris. January
IA, 1858, is living quietly in Lo.
Angeles with his English wife, who
aided him to escape the scaffold and
has been with him ever since.
The DeRudio plot to kill the en-
peror was originated by Felice Orsi-
nj, who took into his confidence
Guisseppi Pieri and another exile
named Gomez. The idea was that
an uprising in France would be fol-
lowed by one in Italy in which the
monarchy would be overthrown. The
throwing Of the bombs and the exc
cution Of Orsini and Pieri is a mat
ter Of history. Gomez got life i'm
prisonment.
DeRudio,, aided by Eliza Booth. an
English woman, escaped on his way
to the gallows. He went to Devils
island, and after many vicissitudes
reached California. DeRudio de-
clares that francesca Crispf. the
italian statesman, was cognizant OF
the riot and that Crispi was in con-
ference with Orsini few moments
before the bombs were thrown. T

Superintendent Smith Tells
Shortcomings of Our Schools.

At the Congregational vestry last
night, State Superintendent of Schools
Payson Smith gave an address on the
Problems Confronting Maine Schools"
Mr.. Smith made strong plea for larg-
er salaries for Maine teachers, stating
tEat the salaries of this State We're
lower than any state in the Union with
the exception of four states in he
South. He gave as one argument the
fact that the frequent changes Of
teachers caused great loss by the ne
cessity of each new teacher going over
some of the ground covered under the
previous teacher in order to be certain
that the pupils We're sure of the work
previously done. He also deplored the
waste which is so frequent in the care
of school property and in the cXpendi-
ture Of school appropriations.
MIR. Smith believed that we were not
applying business methods to the ad
ministration of the schools. OF the
10000 pupils in the State less than 10
per cent. reached the High school and
less than two per cent. reached col
lege To the 80 per cent. dropping out
before reaching the secondary schools
there was a distinct loss of value, no;
only to themselves but to the commune
y and the State. No commercial pro-
duct Of which so small q percentage
was perfected would be considered
success.

the fact that where our schools scored

THE BOARD OF TRADE
Hustline to Engage Outside Capital
In Local Propositions.

Tie local Board of Trade. of which W.
II. Perry is the secretary is doing some
hust!nE Of late in the interests Of the
bettermcnt Of the city Il is the wish OF
the board to get outside capital interest
ed III some Of the good propositions that
the town has to offer in the manufac-
turing and industrial line.
One of the latest plans advanced by the
Board of Trade is the following The
large cotton mill plant that was formerly
a hive of industry has for some years
been idle, but it is now the hope of the
local men interested to start the wheels
moving again at an early date.
1t has been reported that this property
has been advertised for sale in trade
journals, Tut tie Journal reporter was
not able to learn the truth OF this rumor
yesterday.
Tho property affords a fine chance for
some manufacturing concern to start III
business, for it is equipped with shaft
ing. two Corliss engines Of 80 horsepower
each steam pipes and automatic sprinh-
ling devices. There are several buildings
that so with the property. Tho main
mill is go ljy II feet; brick OF four ste
ries; the brick Office building Is 81 by .
feet. one story in height: there are sew
eral large storehouses and a brick forge
shop 20 by 10.
During the summer months there is a
daily lire OF steamers to Boston and yes
sells drawing - feet of water can so with
in IA rods of the plant.
This plant could be used for several
purposes. either in part or as an entirety
for manufacturing yarloiS articles.
Should outside capital take hold of the
matter and start some Kind of business
in the plant it would be Of great advan-
tagc to this city in MANY ways. Possibly
the advertising seed will fall on good
ground. and it is SO hoped BY all who are
interested In the welfare OF Ialioweli.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1908-02-05

failure was in not reaching out for
individual and personal needs. There
was too much of an attempt to teach
the children in mass. We had to con.
tend both with lack of organization in
some schools and over organization
and machine methods in others.
We would be gamers by having few.
er schools and better ones. Consolida-
ton of schools would give better ia
cilities at the same cost. The speaker
believed that the distribution Of the
state school fund should be on tho
basis of attendance rather than on that
OF population. There We're great dis.
crepancies in the percentage Of taxa.
ton in neighbUring towns in many
cases due largely to this fact.
Taking up the subject Of secondary
schools. Mr.. Smith gave facts and
figures in regard TO the High schools
and academies Of the State and ex.
pressed his belief that such schools
should be just what they support to b
that is, there should be @ standard
set for o school which Is to be known
as a High school. He did not mean
to lessen the value of the schools Of
low standard, for he believed that
many pupils got their first impulse fos
higher education from such schoola
He also spoke briefly Of our pioneer
schools. stating that Maine had the
largest number of pioneers in proper
ton to population Of any state in the
Union
