sives is exercised. The Woodward com pany was among the first in this dis trict to make the use of permissible explosives compulsory.
 Yet. in spite of all you can do. said young MT. Woodward. "to make and keep tho mines safe, and educate the men on safety principles. you never can tell, We've never had an .eXplo- sion at Dolomite, but we always knock on wood when he say that! We simp- ly try to take and keep on taking all the precautions for safety that we can."
 An Underground Hospital
 One of the novel features of the Dolomite mines besides the duplicate fans Is the underground hospital. This has been fashioned out of one of the worked out entries. A room 2ox20. seven feet high has been cut into the coal and lined and floored with con crete, made absolutely flreproof. It Is painted white, has running water. and lighted with electricity at all hours. It is equipped with two hospital beds, first aid boxes, fulmotors, medicine chests and canvas filters.
 The underground stables are the same size, and also made of concrete with concrete troughs and steel hay racks. They are located on a separate split of air, so that if the hay or straw catch fire the danger will rbe minim- ized. Mules are worked in the<mine only at night with the track crews. All the coal iaulage Is done by six, eight and ten ton ieffreys. When the motors get out of fix there is an under ground shop to take care of them. Re- serve armatures, frames, gears, axles and wheels are at hand to make quick and thorough repairs without taking the motor outside.
 The Woodward Iron company has q lot of new blood In it-young blood. Their men are. workers. The personnel comprises old time practical men and college bred men who are getting their technical end Boosted along by prac- tical experience. The present organ ization comprises J. II. Woodward, pres ident; A. H. Woodward. vice presi dent; R. H. Bannister. secretary; Nor ris w. Bush general superintendent. The superintendent of coal mines is R. E. Purser. a man of long practical exnerience and great efficiency. The as sistant superintendent Is William M. Lacey an Auburn graduate and one of the prime movers in all the first aid work, new safety plans and general welfare work of the coal mines and camps.

JUDGE BARKLEY Wins
BY Large MAJORITY
Gets Nearly Half Of All The Votes
In The First District Where
$4,000 Were Cast.
THIRD DISTRICT VERY CLOSE

Reports from nearly every
precinct in Kentucky shows a
remarkably heavy vote in the
first State wide primary ever
held in the State, Saturday.
In this the first Congressional
District, A. w. Barley received
9lS3 votes, Denny P. Smith
57O7, Jno. X. Hendricks 1868 and
Jake Corbett 1913. Barkley's
majority 1869 over Smith. He
carried every county except five.
Smith carried Trigg by 1894.
Lyon by 101, Marshal by 127 and
Caldwell bv 248. Hendrick car.
ried Livingston by a good ma.
jority.
In the third district where
Congressman 4. Y. Thomas is
seeking denomination with John
S. Rhea opposing him, the vote
is so close that it will require the
official count before the result is
determined. Rhea is claiming
the district bv 200 majority, but
the missing precincts may wipe
out his short lead.
In eighth district Congressman
Harvey Helm was re-nominated
by over 1000. defeating j, A.
Sullivan, of Richmond, in latter's
own home, though Sullivan was
supported by the governor.
1t was the first opportunity wc.
men had to take part in the cleo
tons, they being able to vote on
school questions, but they did
not come out in numbers and the
vote was much lighter than an
ticipated.
! Congressman A. O. Stanley in
7 the second, A. b. Rouse in the
sixth. T. J. Fields in the ninth,
and 3. V. Smith in the clever tn,
were without opposition. The

COLONEL ROOSEVELT.
FORMS new PARTY
Progressives Meet and Nomin-
ate Ex-President; Denounce
Taft Convention.

Chicago.-Theodore Roosevelt was
dominated for president on an indie
pendent ticket. The nomination was
made during the dying hours Of the
republican national convention in
which Mr. Roosevelt met defeat.
The followers of Colonel Roosevelt
met in Orchestra Hall, less than a
mile from the Coliseum, and pledged
their support to the ex-president. In
accepting the nomination, Colonel
Roosevelt appealed to the people Of
all sections, regardless of party affili-
atoms, to stand with the founders of
the new party. one of whose cardinal
principles, he said, was to be Thou
shalt not steal"
Colonel Roosevelt said he accepted
the nomination with the understand
Ing that he would be willing to step
aside If 1t should be the desire OF the
new party when organized to select
another standard bearer.
The proceedings were well under
way when Colonel Roosevelt appeared
on the stage at the mass meeting. The
crowd went wild with enthusiasm.
Men flung their hats In the air and
women tossed their gloves and fans
about. Cheering was deafening and
1t was some time before order was re-
stored
Roosevelt Gets Demonstration.
When Roosevelt concluded his
speech there was a wild rush for the
platform and score of men scramb-
led for the leaves of the Colonel's
manuscript where he had dropped
them. Mt re
The speech nominating Colonel
Roosevelt was made by Controller
Prendergast, of New York, who was to
have presented the Colonel's name to

floor to make him the oomprosniss

tioor 10 make MIN the compromise
candidate for president.
When quiet had been restored and
after Governor Hadley made brief
statement. Mr.. Watson. Taft's floor
leader, waved to refer to the creden-
tials committee the motion to seat the
% Roosevelt delegates. Governor De-
neen moved to amend so as to provide
that no contested delegates should
vote on the membership OF the COM
mittee on credentials or on its report
Mr.. Watson moved to table the motion
of Governor Deneen.
When 1t was announced that the mo-
ton to table had been carried by a
vote OF 564 to $40, the Taft folk broke
into cheer.
Thursday Session Short.
Owing to the fact that the creden-
tials committee could not make re-
port five minutes was the entire dura-
ton of the two sessions Thursday,
with recess of four hours between.
The first session convened at noon,
lasted four minutes; the second. one
minute.
At Fridays session the Taft forces
further demonstrated their control.
The convention took up piecemeal the
contests from many states and in each
instance the Taft delegates were de-
clared entitled to their seats by ma
1orities ranging from high-water
Taft vote of COS to 464 to a narrow
margin of 542 to 529.
The convention was a good-humored
assemblage Saturday. The desire of
the delegates to leave before Sunday
was ushered in, the reaction from the
strain of the week, the determination
of the Roosevelt leaders upon a pas
sive program. all contributed to the
general effect.
Report Confirms National Committee.
The report of the credentials COM
mittee confirmed in every instance the
delegates placed on the temporary roll
by the national committee.
There was no interruption when the
majority and minority reports on
Washington were read. The commit
tee held that the Taft convention was
regular.
Permanent organization was then
effected by the adoption of the organi-
cation report confirming. the temper
airy organization.
