"HOLY ROLLERS" IN FRENZY.
Women Shrek and Beat Them
selves, Moan and Gesticulate.

The congregation of the select
First Presbyterian church at Macon,
Ca, Sunday night is aghast over
the demonstrations made at the
morning service by the local sect of
Holy Rollers" who comprise some
Of the best-known women and men
of Macon. A meeting of the elders
will probably be held this week to
take action so as to prevent the
Holy Rollers" from ever attending
the Presbyterian church again.
Sunday morning the demonstration
was violently vociferous and sensa-
tional, and the entire congregation
was so excited that the audience dis
persed precipitately, Immediately fol-
lowing the last prayer, and numerous
of the women went away in hys-
terics.
The "Holy Rollers mumbled
shouted, swayed, moaned and ges-
ticulated all during the service, and
toward the end Mrs. Minnie Scott,
her niece, Miss Davis, and the 9TH
ers began to shrek, beat themselves
and give vent to frantic manifesto
tions.
Elder John j. Mackay, the pastor,
and others sought to quiet them, so
as to restore order again among the
congregation, who were excitedly fill
ing out of church. Finally the 'Holy
Rollers" were induced to enter their
carriages, but as they moved away
they continued to shrek, causing
crodws to gather along the side
walks.
Professor J. R. Moseley, who re-
Gently forsook the Christian Science
religion to become Holy Roller" "
says that he and his associates will

Washington. April 16.-Outlinging some measures designed to go long way to- wards preventing repetition of mine ac- cidents such as recently occurred at Ban- ner, Ala. and Throop, Pa., with their ac- companying toll of human life. Dr. Jo- seph A. Holmes, who has just returned from Investigating both accidents, today urged that mo miner or operator should feel satisfied until every -precaution known to the industry has been taken.'
 Dr. Holmes is head, of the bureau of mines, He said that mine fires such, for instance, as those, at Cherry, Ill, in November. 1909, with it's 16e lives lost and at the .Pancoast colliery at Throop, which cost B lives. could be extinguished easily if promptly attended to. He advised that the ss.afts and the stables and engine rooms, when underground. should be of freproof con struction. If combustible materials must be stored in the mines there should be ann

Dr. Holmes GiDes Some
 Mining Precautions

pie water supply. together with other fire fighting apparatus.
 Dr. Holmes urged the use of only those explosives least likely to ignite and the general adoption of a system of electric firing Ito be used at time when all Of the miners are out of the mine." Other measures suggested are that only small quantities of any explosive needed for use during single day should be in the mine at one time and under no conditions should the powder and the detonators or caps be carried into the mine together, TOT should the powder or detonators be kept in any mine overnight, as dampness may change their quality.
 Although the safest plan, according to Dr. Holmes. to prevent dust explosion is to wet the coal dust throughout the whole mine, thorough wetting in any part of bituminous coal mine lessens the danger of an explosion. The cheapest and most satisfactory manner of doing this. he continues, is to turn the exhaust steam from the mine power plant into the mine along with the air current.

FRISCO IS CROWDED
WITH S. S. WORKERS

San Francisco. Cal, June 1s.-The
hotels of this city are crowded to their
utmost capacity and the thousands Of
delegates to the international Sunday
School TrienniaI convention. which
will open its seven day session here
tomorrow and close on Tuesday, June
27 are busily engaged in searching
for quarters among the list Of board
ing houses supplied by the arrange
ment committee. Indications are that
this conventions delegates will out
number those of any previous organi-
zation meeting in the history of San
Francisco, and will reach. at con-
servative estimate, about 10000.
Part Of the program of exercises for
the week will include two big out
door meetings, one in Golden Gate park
and the other at the Hearst Greek the
alter in Berkeley.
One feature of the gathering will
be a great chorus Of 1000 trained
voices Singers from all the big cities
are in the chorus and are having re-
hearsals under Robert Husband. It is
intended to make this chorus the equal
of those in London and other large
cities when the international gather
ings met in those places.
From this choir it is expected that a
nucleus will be made for the great
worlds fair chorus in 1918, when
choirs from all over the country are
expected to compete for henors as has
always been the custom. with European
ehoirs during international exposi-
tions.
