common sense points to the fact
that this should be the center of

1t would seem natural that the
people of the state should wish to

Mine Accidents

How to avoid fatal accidents and
thus save time, money and worry
to the mining companies and hard
ships and sorrow to the families of
their employees is constant study
of the mining companies and espe-
cially the superintendent who have
the properties in charge. 1t is
great mistake on the part of the
public at large to suppose that the
mining companies and the superin
tendent are not great disconnected
by accidents at their properties.
They are. Nothing gives super
intendent more worry than fatal
accident.
A mine accident is not like an
accident in a mill or factory, says
Crystal Falls Drill. In the latter
place a man is in daylight. All the
surrounding conditions are open to
his view, but in a mine its different.
There all is dark and what hidden
COLLINS there are to cast death and
destruction upon the next man can
only be guessed at. Miners are
thus, as rule, superstitious to a
degree. Accidents cause them to
migrate and break up working
organization. There is the loss of
time and the i'll influence of the &C
cident upon the community that
the superintendent has to face as
well, not to speak of the family
that is left in many instances.
1t is fact that mining accidents
are growing less each year and that
in the face of the fact that the grade
of workmen is also lowering.
Time was when the captain of a
mine could sendza gang of miners
to stope and be reasonably certain
that they would, first of all, make
their working place safe. They
were men of long experience in
mines and knew how to protect
themselves. Nowadays, owing to
the great increase in the number of
men employed in the mines and the
migration of the English and Irish
miners to the higher paid camps of
the west, men of little experience
have to be depended upon to do the
mining work and the greatest care
of mining captain today is that of
guarding his men against accident,
AS a result of this eofitaht care on
the part of the mine the
accidents from falls of ore have
been reduced very greatly in pro-
portion.
In looking over mining accidents
of these days it will be seen that
so percent afatffenl Socctff III and
about the shaft-ininers going from
or descending to their work. From
this list we eliminate the occasional
nishaps from defective machinery
or purely accidental. causes. Here
is fruitful field for mining men to
study and improve upon, both In
means of transport and in closer
supervision of the men in. loading
and unloading.

MATTHEWS UNDER
FIRE FOR PART IN
FERRER MEETING
Father Quirk Will Complain tg
School Board and Demand
an Inquiry.

The Rev. Edward F. Quirk, assistant
rector of st. Joseph's Roman Catholic
Church, intends to make a formal com
plant to the Board of Education
against Professor Byron c. Mathews,
of the Barringer High School, for pre-
siding at the Ferrer protest meeting
Monday night. 'Th protest will be in
the form or a letter to Frederick f.
Guild, president of the Board of Edu-
cation, so that it may be read at the
meeting of the board tomorrow night,
Father Quirk called upon DIR. a. b.
Poland, superintendent of the schools,
at the City Hall today and had a pri-
vate talk with him about Professor
Mathews, but neither would say what
was said on the subject. Father Quirk
says he does not intend to let the Incl
dent pass, because he claims that Mr..
MatheWs's presence at the meeting, as
chairman, was an insult to all lovers
of good society, as well as the church,
going part Of the community, and that
his protest to the School Board will
demand Investigation to be made as
to what was really said at the meeting,
although he Is convinced IRON his own
investigation that it was not a meeting
h augured we'll for the best interests
of the community.
DR.. Poland in speaking about Pro-
fessor Mathews's attendance at the
meeting Monday night, said that il the
published accounts Of the remarks
made by the speakers were correct they
were certainly not in keeping with the
teachings in the schools. and the eff
forts that have been made by the
School Board to educate the foreign
element ut the day and night schools
to have a higher respect for our form
Of government.

SHOOTS WIFE in JEALOUS
RAGE; TRIES TO KILL SELF.
Dover Man Fefused Admittance
to Own Home.

DOVER, Oct. 27.-John Czompog, 45
years old. deliberately shot his wife
last night and would have killed him
self but for the interference of a board
er. Czonlpog had been absent from his
home for several months, and upon re-
turning, found his wife with Joseph
TriXek.
Czompog was refused admission to
the house, but the appearance of his
wife drove him to frenzy. Leaving the
house he secured q .S2-calibre revolver
and returned, gained an entrance, and,
entering the room where his wife was
sitting, SHOT her. The bullet entered her
breast.
She ran from the house to notify the
police, but fell fainting from loss of
blood. Czompog, when arrested, said
he had intended to kill his wife and
then himself. He was sent to the coun-
Ty Jail at Morristown. The physician
failed to locate the bullet. The woman
is in a serious condition.
