REPORT OF NINE INSPECTOR
JONES ON PRIMERo MINE
DISASTER.
IGNITION ACCIDENTAL
HANDLING OF ExPL SIVE IS
SHOULD BE CONFINED
SHOT FIRERs.

Denver.-According to the report OF
State Coal Mine Inspector John d.
Jones. which he has filed with Gov
John F. Shafroth, the explosion at the
Primero mine near Trinidad several
weeks ago would not have occurred it
the mine had been kept properly sprin-
lSled. The disaster which caused the
death of seventy-five men was due to
the fact that an accumulation of dust
had formed in the mine, says Inspec-
tor Jones, and the destructive power
of the explosion was partly due to the
fact that the mine is so well ventilated
that there was large volume of air in
circulation at the time the dust became
ignited.
The report does not attempt to give
the cause of the explosion. 1t says
that it might have been caused by. a
local gas explosion, by shot, or by
the falling of piece of rock or coal
upon box of caps. Had it not been
for the presence of dust in the mine,
says the report. the explosion, which
originated in room No. 8, shaft ALL,
would have been merely local and
would have been confined, possibly, to
the room where it strated
The report carries this recommends
ton: .u
When the miners carry their ow
powder and caps into the mine even "a
small quantities, each place, room or
entry where this powder is kept or
used becomes in itself a factor of
danger of sufficient magnitude to
initiate an explosion in the presence
of inflammable dust and under GER
tain conditions. Therefore, miners
should be absolutely forbidden from
handling or carrying caps or powder
of any kind into the mines.
"Such work should be assigned to
the shot firers exclusively.
Il take this opportunity to show how
through the establishment and enforce
ment of the rule of shot firing a num-
ber of lives were saved in this state in
the last few months. No better argu-
ment can be made for the passage of
a shot firing law"

SECRETARY OF AGRIcULTuRE'S
TESTIMONY IN THE sALLIN-

Washington.-The expected clash
between Clifford Pinchot and Secretary
CT Agriculture Wilson over the dis
puted question as to whether the sec
retary had given tie former forester
permission to write to Senator Dol
liver the letter which resulted in Mr..
Pinchot's dismissal, came Tuesday the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigation com
Mr.. Pinchot declared he had dis
cussed the matter at length with Sec
retary Wilson and that he understood
his superior officer had given him ex-
press permission to write to Senator
Dolliver. he.
Secretary Wilson Immediately took
the stand and asserted that while he
had given Mr.. Pinchot permission to
write to Senator Dolliver concerning
departmental AFFAIRS" he never did
and never would have given him
permission to write letter criticising
the President of the United States.
Under a cross-eXamination, almost
wholly by the Democratic members
of the committee, Secretary Wilson
was uncertain as to just what had
passed between himself and the for
ester and became somewhat mixed at
times as to just what letters the COM
mitteemen were referring to in their
rapid fire questions. ..,
The secretary repeatedly said he
never saw heard of the letter Mr.. Pin
chot wrote until it was read in the
Senate.
Mr.. Pinchot had been reluctant to
testify to anything that would bring
him into controversy with the chief
under whom he had served twelve
years. But chairman Nelson insisted
he should go into the matter. n n'
Mr.. Pinchot declared that he and
Secretary Wilson went so far as to
discuss the executive order issued by
President Taft forbidding subordinates
of the various departments Of the va
rious department from giving informa-
ton to Congress, and he added that
the secretary said:
You and | will have no trouble
about that ORDER
Admitting that his memory failed
as to certain points Secretary Wilson
always came back to the statement
that he never under any circumstances
would have given Mr.. Pinchot permis-
sion to write the letter that caused his
separation from the service.
The secretary said he urged Mr.. Pin
chot not to carry out his purpose to
blanket" message from the Presi-,
dent exonerating Ballinger. by sending
in letter to Senator Dolhver
But" persisted counsel for Mr.. Pin
chot. "if Mr.. Pinchot was only to be
permitted to write about departmental
matters, how could you have thought
this message would blanket the Presi.
dents message"

idea
