Magdalcna, n NJ, Aug. 31--The IN :
vestigations into the death of Hon.
Solomon Luna in dipping vat at his
ranch near Horse Springs Friday
morning and brought out at the cor
oner's inquest yesterday. show con-
clusively that he met his death by
accidental means and that heart fail-
ure or foul play had nothing to 40
with it.
The most connected set )f facts
produced showed that Mr.. Luna had
slept In a room adjoining th:,r hse /
and his ranch manager, Eduardo Al.
Otero. During the night he got up
and walked out in the fresh air. first
putting on his shoes. His progress
about the camp was easily traced ana
1t was shown that on his return lrlp
he had stepped on board near the
brink of the dipping vat. which was
level with the ground. that this board
had slipped and that ne had been
precipitated headlong into the val. As
this was wedse-sha and as he fell
hard, his head and shoulders were
caught at the bottom and although lie
had evidently struggled hard to flee
himself. death had come before ne
could do so. The walls of the vat show
ed the marks made by his elbows i'll

Washington. Aug. 31.-Of pro-

In addition to this startling waste.
DR.. Holmes declares that users OF
coal through faulty methods derived
only about ten per cent of the energy
of the coal used. Furthermore. he
added. the loss lay waste in other
minerals. such as zinc. nitrogen. pot
ash. sulphur and natural gas. would
reach into the hundreds of millions
of dollars annually. Officials of the
bureau. however. are hopeful OF
