TRAINING MINERS
IN RESCUE WORK
Being Taught to Use Oxygen
Helmet in Case Of Disaster.

Washington, April 5.-Four stations
for the training OF miners in rescue
work have been established recently
by the big coal mines of the country,
as the result of demonstrations made
by the United States geological sur
vey, and the experiments will have
the effect of decreasing the loss of life
in mine disasters.
The most complete of the new sta
tions is that of the Prick Coke com
pany, which employs 10000 men, near
Connellsville. Pa. A corps of six men
is being trained in the use of the
oxygen helmet, a device that admits
artificial breathing for two hours in
the most deadly gases. The men are
being given a daily drill in an air
tight room filed with gases that will
not support life, and are learning how
to use the helmets. Whenever a dis
aster occurs the rescue corps will en-
ter the mine and bring to the surface
miners who have been injured or are
unconscious from the effects Of gases.
Other stations established are at Fair
mint, w. Va; Mariana, Pa, and Zeig-
Ter. Ill. TIE establishment of other
similar stations is in contemplation.

Naples, April 5.-Ex-President Theo-
dore Roosevelt and party arrived here
Monday on the steamer Hamburg. Ship
ping in the harbor was decorated with
flags and bunting, and on the first ap-
pearance OF the Hamburg hundreds of
sirens screamed a noisy welcome. Pc
lice boats kept all sightseeing vessels
from approaching the Hamburg.
To make the most of the few hours
of his stay here Mr. Roosevelt and
party left the steamer as soon as she
locked and was taken to the Hotel
LOndres in the automobiles of the

to Queen Helena.
The former president was greeted
on board the Hamburg by the repre-
sentatives of the city council, who ex-
tended to him an official greeting, and
a party of ladies who literally strewed
mis- path with roses. The German con
sui general extended the personal
greetings Of the emperor and Ambas-
sadOr Griscom represented the hun
dreds Of Americans who had gathered
at Naples and who would like to meet
the former president personally, but
who probably will not have an oppor-
tunity.
Before embarking FOR Agrica Mr.
Roosevelt will have lunch with the
Duke and Duchess of Aosta and will
visit the museum and aquarium.
The steamship Admiral, which is to
carry the party to Mombasa, is lying

great masses of carnations, typical of
