Washington, Feb. 3.-The House locked horns this morning over SIP, 900 appropriation for an automobile for presdent-elect Taft and refused to accept an amendment to the urgent deficiency bill striking the appropria- tion. Many short talks were made on the subject and sharp things were said on both sides. The bill is tabled for the present and will be brought up later.
 Queer as it may seem, many miners do not know how to load q hole with dynamite. Many of the miss fires are not the fault of the fuse, but the fault of the miner who loads the hole. A common way is to ram in stick of dynamite, then put in the primer, the fuse end being put in fiji st this necess- itates a sharp bend in the fuse and causes it to at least crack, if not break. It is bad "ractce to put too much dynamite on top of the primer as it is liable to catch fire from the fuse as it burns through it. When the stope is cold and the fuse brittle, he bending of the fuse is liable to cause q miss fire.
 The wrapper should he cut before the dynamite is placed in the hole.
 The splitting of the dynamite is necessary so that the it can be made to fit the hole tightly without ramming.
 The capped fuse should be inserted into half stick of dynamite. The other half stick should be kept to go on top of the primer. The remaining dynamite should be tightly packed into

Dean Contributes
to the Campaign
At Least One Candidate for Judge on
Democratic Ticket Pays
in Cash.
CFrom a staff correspondent.l

(From Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Oct. 2O.--(Special.) )-Though p.
L. Hall. treasurer of the democratic state
committee, reported that he had collected
nothing and expended nothing during the
campaign, his own candidates rise up to
take issue with that report. Judge James
r. Dean. democratic candidate for supreme
Judge. was asked this question:
Have you contributed any money to the
democratic campaign fund2,'.s = sski ~
His answer was: II contributed 500. I
sent the money to Columbus. / did not give
1t to~Dr. Hail.
BY sending the money to Columbus, Judge
Dean meant he had sent 1t to State Chair
man Byrnes or whoever is in charge of
the democratic state headquarters, Neither
Judge Sullivan or Judge Good are in the
city, but II Judge Dean was assessed 800
it is presumed the other two candidates
were assessed a like amount II not more.
In view of the fact that the democrats
made their campaign on the publicity Of
campaign contributions and Mr.. Bryan
even talked of 1t in his national campaign,
the action of the democratic leaders In
nullifying the law at their first opportunity
has occasioned much unfavorable comment
Those who are discussing the matter say
IL IL simply another evidence OF democratic
insincerity.
