Miners And Operators Are

Big Stone Gap, Va, May B.
After studying labor conditions
IN many mining districts in
this country, and with strikes
prevailing in many sections il is
refreshing to find as / have
mere, perfect agreement and
concord between the operators
and the men In this field there
has never been n strike and /
haye yet TO hear any serious
complaints. There has never
been IA mine explosion or other
serious accident in tue mines,
and all in all, / find here as
nearly perfect and ideal condi-
tons as perhaps will ever be
experienced in the coal mining
industry The mines are safe
and only open lights being used
the market for both coal and
coke is good and growing, the
homes of the workers are good
clean and attractive, the pay
is satisfactory, the car supply
rs all right and above all else,
the operators believe in and
practice the square deal' with
their men. And, as the result
OF these things, they attract a
high class of men.

One Certificate
Worth S12,-
900.
Advocates OF Vital Statistics
Law Would Prevent Like
Occurrence in Vir-
ginia.

Richmond. Va, May 3 Wiz
GINA health officers, who are
preparing to enforce the new
vital statistics law, are point
ing a moral from "A recent case
in Western State where the
absence of a birth certificate
cost a needy orphan girl snug
inheritance of Sl2.O 600,
That such a thing might hap
pen in Virginia under present
conditions and that no legal
authorities could prevent il. is
pointed out by advocates of the
vital statistics law who cite the
case i'm question A young man
emigrated to America from
Switzerland, married i'm the
middle West and, in time. be
came the father of "a little girl.
While he was struggling to
make living for his family.
he was killed in a logging camp
and left his family absolutely
dependent.
10 keep her home and TO
raise her daughter, the mother
of the family took in washing,
lived i'm squalid hut and
pinched herself almost to star
yation But she was ignorant
and friendless and could barely
keep body and soul together.
Finally, when IL seemed that
She must starve and her child |
With her, there came news from
the Swiss consul in Chicago
that her dead husbands broth
er had died in Switzerland and
in his will, had left $4,000 to
his brothers. child.
This seemed "a fortune to the
desparing mother. who saw
herself lifted from aOiect pow
erty to comparative afliuence.
She at once began plans To re-
move her daughter to more
suitable quarters and to give
her an education. But there
was one obstacle in the way
The strict Swiss law required
that before the child could quail
ify for the estate, she must pro-
duce legal evidence that she
was the daughter of the young
immigrant y birth certificate,
IN legal form, wrote the consul,
would be all that was needed.
But when the mother went to
secure this she was met with
the startling announcement
that as the State made no pro-
vision for the registration of
births and deaths, no legal Ger
titicate could be furnished her.
The one thing needed TO secure
the fortune for her daughter
could not be had. Lawyers
were employed, friends were
found, all united their efforts to
procure a record, but could not
satisfy the punctilious Swiss.
The girl lost $4,000 and was
unable to recover Il dollar.
Such a calamity, 1t is pointed
out by health officers, may as
readily befall an heir in Virgin
ia as in the Western State; but
after the vital statistics law be-
comes operative, every child
born in Virginia has the as
surance of permanent record
which will give to posterity a
legal proof of his birth and par
entage. The new law is to be
effective in June. In anticipa-
ton of its enforce. the State
Health officers are preparing
their forms and locating the
registrars who are to admins
ter the law.

SUICIDE At GRAVE
Mystery Widow Ends Life in
! Milford, Conn.,, Cemetery.
kneeIIng In Prayer, Woman, Said TO
BE From New York, Shoots Her
self In Graveyard-Leaves
Note Explaining Act.

Milford, Conn., am going to join
my husband. Please bury me beside
him.
With only the pencilled note to In
indicate her motive, Mrs. Alice De-
vine. the handsome widow OF Horace
Devine, knelt beside the grave OF her
husband in the cemetery here and
killed herself. putting a bullet In her
temple. Her body fell across the
grave of the man from whom she
could no longer remain separated. and
the note was found there.
None of the employees of the GENE
terry had seen her enter. nor had any
known that she had committed sui
eide, until her body was found. Only
the earth stains on her skirt showed
that she had been in the attitude of
prayer.
To the dramatic manner In which
Mrs. Devine took her life is added the
mystery of her identity. Although
her clothing indicates that she had
there was no jewelry, or any paper
bearing an address. The note was
addressed to an undertaken, e. l.
Nettleton, who had buried her hus-
bands body.
The only information Mr.. Nettleton
and John Ives, the medical examiner,
who took charge of her body, could
gather, was that Mr.. Devine, who
once lived in Milford. had told tho
few persons In this town who knew
him, that he had married a woman
residing In New York city. Her ad-
dress there he did not tell, but he
had said that she had lived at various
hotels with relatives. and had no per
manent home.
Soon after their marriage those who
knew Mr.. Devine said the couple NOV
ed to Ohio, where Mr.. Devine died.
His body was brought to Milford by
the widow. So far as known there
were no children.
Mrs. Devine, who was Of medium
height, with dark eyes and brown
hair, apparently was about thirty
eight years old.
How long the couple had lived IN
Milford, whether Devine had any rel
atives here and who are Mrs. Devine's
relatives in New York city are ques-
lions the medical examiner Is trying
to solve. AS no one appears to claim
