BILL aimed
AT LOAN
SHARKS

| OLYMPIA, Jan. Ex-senator
ICotterill of King county has bill
designed to put the loan sharks
out Of business, and before the
session is over he will present
Iother measures with this end in
view. The bill he has prepared
provides that no assignment of
salary shall be legal unless it is
|signed by the employer and the
wife of the employee.
Senator Cotterill believes that
this will act as deterrent to loans
for the sharks. In the first place,
no employee cares to have his en-
'ployer know that he is borrowing
money, and, in the second place,
the bill will make it impossible
for a husband to pledge his salary
without his wife knowing all about
it.
The loan shark evil in this state
has reached a high stage of de-
|velopment, and many of the city
|employes, foremen, policemen and
linen engaged in city halls and
lcourthouses are completely in the
grasp of the usurous lenders of
money, who frequently lend at
rates equal to 1000 per cent.
In the near future Senator
Cotterill will introduce a bill that
will tend to bring about a weekly
and semi-monthly pay day. This
| will help to break the grip of the
loan sharks, as many men are
forced to go to them to carry
them over the long stretches be-
tween monthly pay days.
The law requiring the signature
of the wife and the employer is
now in effect in Massachusetts,,
where it has given excellent salts
faction.

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
WINNIPEG, Can, Jan. 3D.
The announcement comes from
Montreal today that the Canadian
Pacific railroad will electrify its
system through the mountains.
For some time officials of the
Canadian road have had experts
the streams in the noun
tains with a view to determining
whether enough energy could be
developed through water power to
supply electric power.
They reported that from the
Rocky mountains to the coast
range the waterfall is sufficien,
to supply power for all the rail-
roads in the United States.

Brightness of the coal dust found In

Leading into the tubes are gas

length of the tube is screened Off
by paper, and the inclosed space is
then filled with methane and
'athane, which blended form is the
same as the natural gas in use In
Pittsburg. From / per cent to J
and 10 per cent of the gas ara
made in the tube, and through
them are fired shots from the
cannon imbedded in the concrete
the effect being exactly similar to
a blown-out shot in coal mine.
More and more deadly becomes
the mixture, as q higher percent
age of gas is added to the air, I'M
til at last it explodes when the
shot is fired. The vibration which
follows is terrific, and ever since
the experiments have been going
on, have caused no end of nervous
palpitations in Lawrenceville, to
say nothing of breaking windows
in nearby houses.
On such an explosion the 1OO
feet long steel tube is transform
ed into a huge cannon, and from
its other end bursts forth q
frightful discharge of gas and
flame and liberated energy. Al
first huge concrete block was
placed about SO feet from the end
of the explosions, but it was re-
peatedly knocked over, and had to
be abandoned. Then a big steel
plate was erected, but this had a
similar fate. Then a framework
was erected, and upon it the big
steel plate was suspended like the
leaf of a swinging door. This is
found to answer the purpose, for
when the explosion takes place
it is merely swung violently back
and forth without being destroyed

8omarkablo Tests Made by thu

Pittsburg for Purpose of Fix
ing Causes Of Mine Disasters
Whole Neighborhood Shaken
Up-Gas and Coal Dus,
Touched or to Help Science
and Humanity.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 25.--Mfne
explosions to order are made while
you wait at the new government
testing PLAINTIFF only one In the
oountry--in Pittsburg, as the re
suit of $4,000 appropriated By
eongress, in an effort to make
more safe the work of men who
toll under the ground.
At unexpected intervals every
day the Lawrenceville district
reels and quivers under the vibra-
tion of tremendous explosions that
rival in violence the frightful
shocks which too frequently turn
the interior of coal mines into
merry furnaces and charnal houses.
These disturbances are caused
by the work of the government ex-
perts at the United States station
for the investigation of mine ex-
plosions, which already is doing a
wonderful work for science and
humanity, its object being to fix
the cause of explosions.
In these remarkable tests the
government is not trying to locate
all the leaks in the strata of the
earth or to place its finger on
every gas pocket that exists in the
coal formations. Such foolishness
Is ignored absolutely. But the
whole attention is turned in the
only available direction, and that
IL where man takes hand in
causing the trouble.
The work of the station begins
with the careful testing of al
known explosives. The powders
of every character, quality ant
strength, are obtained from vari
Gus factories of the country, anC
submitted to a thorough chemica
analysis. II any are found not tc
measure up to specifications OF
claims, or If weaknesses or dan
gerous features Of the mixture are
discovered, the manufacturer is
notified.
After leaving the chemical lab.
oratory, the powders and explo-
sives are carried through series
OF searching physical tests, b,
which their descriptive force, the
pressure exerted, length and dura
ton of flame and the amount o.
heat generated, are definitely as
certained.
Then, when all these thing,
have been placed on record, the
powder is ready to be used In the
last and most important tests OF
all. These consist of subjectine
It to precisely the same conditions
that occasionally are encountered
IN coal mines, when the elements
are ripe for the harvest of death.
And to do this, the government
station has its own little coal
mine, only 1t is not away down in
the bowels of the earth, but lies
up on top of the ground in plain
view, and is easy to get at.
1t Is called the gas and dust
gallery and consists of a steel
tube six feet in diameter and 100
