Among the anecdotes related by the
MARQUIS Massa in his "Souvcnirs ct
IMPRESSIONS recently published, IS
one about the first President of the
French republic, which is making the
rounds of the theatrical columns of the
European press. 1t runs: "A short
time after young Theirs had been cleo
ted as a legislator number of our set
arranged 70 give a performance OF
Ramon Chez la Portiere' at the house
of a mutual friend. On the evening of
the performance our director desert
ed Us, and without a moments hesi-
tation the new-fledged deputy volun-
teered to take the place, and despite
the protests of some of the party, who
feared that his dignity might be ever
lastingly injured, he jumped into the
box, where he remained ready to help
us in time of need until the curtain
descended on, what proved to be a
highly satisfactory performance"

Declaring It Is fundamentally ,wrong
to submit any proposition to a vote Of
the people whicn. II Il would pass,
would be an injustice. tne report Of
the minority OF the House Judiciary
committee v.as given = after Chair
man Robinson, Of the committee. had
reported recommendations that the

lowing Is the minority report in full:
Minority report Of the committee on
Judiciary on House Joint resolution
No. 4; the prohibition amendment:
We, the undersigned. beg leave to
submit the following minority report,
as representing our Views on the pro-
posed constitutional amendment:
F!rst-It Is Fundamentally wrong to
submit any proposition to a vote Of
the people which II II would pass
would work irrepamble mischief and
an injustice. It Is no answer to this
objection to urge that II people are
injured thty have themselves to blame
and not the legislature.
Seeond--It is wrong to confscate
between Ave and ten millions Of dol
lars worth Of property now used and
employed In business which from the
formation et the State has betn rec
Iosnlzedsas Legitimate without compen',;
snting those injured tor the loss oc.
casioned.
ThIrd-It is funda mentally wrongjto
support n proposition the effect Of
which would DO 10 permit people Of
one part Of the State to prohibit those
OF another part of the State to exer.
else their freedom In saying what
they shall eat or drink. Under tae
present law the people In any coun.
ty Of the State can determine for
themselves whatever they shall have
Intoxicating liquors sold within the
borders Of such county. y J
Fourth-The State needs the rev.
enue, amounting % about a half mil
lion dollars annually, and about one
third Of the total revenue Of the State.
IflthIs source OF reevnue ID removed
how Will, the State make up the def
cheney? Prohibition has been farce
and a failure wherever It has been
tried. We 5beltye In a, spirit Of sa!r-
ness. in the perpetuation Of our pres
ent system Of local self.goyernment.
We therefore dissent from the major.
ity report on this resolution.

deadly in the bltuminous mines, been
finally eliminated as 81 menace to hu
man HE: This IS the conclusion ar
rived at BY experts at the geological
testing station at Pittsburg that coal

Will not explode. Sts y:
Mine Inspector R. S: ia Rue. Of the
First district Of West Virginia, has
contributed four; articles in which he
advocated the use Of steam as q
means. of warming the aLr that Is pump
ed Into the mines SO that the dust IN
the mines would become thoroughly
saturated. He dismissed at length
the theory Of mine ventilation and the
correct methods to employ, always
keeping to; the central thought tnat
warm air would produce, dampness ln
the mines, the dampncss would per
meate the mine and saturate the dust,
making 1t non-eyploslye.S Mr.. La Rue's
article was published In coal Journals
and attracted much attention. He re-
cciyed much encouragement from op'
orators and at several mines In this
district with very satisfactory results,
The matter has been taken up by
the; testing laboratories at Arsenal
Park. pIttsburs. For several days ex,,
perts have been forcing steam from
an exhaust pipe through the air cur.
rents formed by the :rentilating fan
used IN the mine. This carried the
steam as 4 moisture laden air into
the miniature mines (which the tests
were made. , Under these conditions
no dust"e1p,osions occurred. On the
other hand, Immediately they with
drew the steam Iaad3 I forced cold d, dry
air into the tube; explosions Of dust
occurred without the least effort. !.
In the presence of|mine former, SUI
perlntendents and engineers on Sat

Dust was created and conditions Of an
actual nine were Produced The
steam was turned In, saturatlns the
dust laden air. but. no ignition could

mine, the air was made dry and again

perts are to be made with the i'ca

argued, the lawyer had the privilege
