SENSATIONAL
CHARGES
INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE IN
TO THE DISASTER AT LICK
BRANCH MINE.

The Charleston Mail OF January
9Th says:
A searching Invest cation will be
demanded OF the recent mine explo-
sion at the Lick Branch Mine IN Nc
Dowell county where fifty men were
killed. when the legislative mining
C snmittse meets in Charleston on
January 14ah to complete Is re-
pc 1T to the state legislature.
MUCH CRITICISM.
Much criticism has been heapsd
uTon the verdict OF the coroner's
jury at the Inflated mine, which alb
solved the company from al bame
in connection with the explosion and
yet at the same time confessed its
ignorance of the causes OF the explo-
son. The failure of the jury to make
an attempt to ascertain the cause OF
the explosion by placing the four
deputies and Chief LANG on the
stand, after they had made a .hor-
ough Investigation OF the mine, has
also been severely critic sed.
CALLED FARSICAL.
"Farsical" is the word used by
Sc me in referring to the coroners
verdict. The jury was assembled
and several Witnesses were exam
i''ed the majority being those who
escaped from that portion OF the
mine which was not affected by the
EXPLOSION. The fact. however, that
the jury did not examine the mine
Inspectors who were sent to the
mine TO ascertain the causes OF the
explosion and then returned YER
dict stating they did not know the
causes and at the same tina abaolv-
.ng the company from any blame In
connect on with the explosion can
hardy be understood by those who
arr acquainted with the coal ndus-
try.
MINE OFFICIALS REPORT
The reports of the four deputy
mine inspectors, the chief mine In
spector and that OF Mr.. j. w. Paul,
ex-dhief mine Inspector, are anx-
lusly awaited TO shed whatever light
possib Q on this recent explosion
These reports will not be made pub
&c for several days at least
CONDITIONS AT LICK BRANCH
It said that the conditions at
he Lick Branch mine will warrant
a thorough examination OF the mine
inspectors and othcr Witnesses by
the mining legislative committee.
This committee meets in Charleston
on January 14th to complete It's re-
p1rt TO the legislature and it is ex-
peeted that witnesses wI1 be sum-
moned before the comm atee to tell
what they know OF the conditions
in that field. Senator T. p. Gartlan
OF Wood county is chairman OF ehe
Investigating committee.
WHAT SOME CLAIM.
The mining laws were not observ-
ej at the Lick Branch mine, It Is
said by some who are said TO be IN
innate with the conditions at he
nine. The mine was model mine
snly for large production and sma !
cost OF production, they assert. The
excessive use OF powder, which is
said TO be mainly respons. b1s for
the explosion, was noticeable al On
mine. Shooting on the solid IL ia d
to have been praetlcsd VIII lie in the
mine, vast quantities. OF powder
we're found In no es drilled into the
coal.
The general condition OF the m ne
the dangerous practices obssrved
and the causes OF the sxp1os on can
all be brought ou1 by the mining n
vNfEigatng committee and Il is sx-
tfemely hkeIy that sweeping In

The length OF the v.rg,nian is
44c miles and the grade is two

A single locomotive will easily
haul eighty 50-ton coal cars loaded
or a train OF four thousand tons
Of coal from the coal fields to the
sea.
On the west bound trip. one an
g.ne will easily pull eighty empty
coal cars back to the mounta ms.
The grade of tine v,rginian, the

any railroad in the word.
The virglnian will handle elgh-

In one single trucking county the
V.rginian has twenty miles OF main

Kansas Club Formed For tho Improve
mont Of Public Highways.
The advent Of the automobile and
its use on country roads have caused
an awakened interest In good country
roads. and the owners OF autos work
tag On conjunction with the farmers
should before many years result I'm
greatly improved roads. The auto own
srs Of Hswtoa, Kan. have organized
club. which In Harvey county marks
the beginning Of an important good
roads movement and the success OF
this club IN the work undertaken Will
be watched with interest, says the
Farmers Advocate. If the plan is
practical, state wide organization OF
q similar character will result.
The Newton club has permanent
roads committee 70 make frequent
trips over the various public high
ways diverging from the city and
make note of such spots as may re-
quiro improving and confer with the
road overseer OF the township where
in these bad places exist and arrange
TO have the necessary attention given,
the automobile club furnishing one
half Of the money required to accom-
plish this.
IL In also the purpose Of tho club
to promote harmony among residents
who own autos and residents OF the
rural districts- Naturally the farmers
have q feeling Of dislike toward auto
mobile drivers. Some of the drivers
are careless and take no precaution to
avoid soaring teams they pass or
meet. 1t is the intention OF the club
to dlspel this feeling on the part OF
farmers, so that a better feeling Will
prevail all around.
