DEATHS In MINES
SHOW DECREASE
statittics Indicate Precautionary
Measures by Government Are
Having Good Effect.

That the high tide in the terrible death
rate In American coal mines has been
reached and PASSED Is the confident be-
lief OF ofncials Of the United States Bu-
reau Of MInes.
Figures issued yesterday by the bureau
show that ASST men were killed In mines
last year. as against asa IN 1910 This
shows q reduction in the number Of lives
lost Of az IN one year. The death rate In
$50 was aa men In every loo employed.
The rate IN 1871 was ala
Compared with 1907. the darkest year IN
the history OF American mining, when
ais7 men lost their lives, 1911 shows a
decrease OF $50 in the number of men
killed. II was following the record Of
this year that Congress authorised the
government to begin investigations look
ing toward q reduction In the death rate,
and this was supplemented in 1919 by the
creation Of the Bureau Of Mines.
Discussing the death statistics Of the
coal mines. DR.. Joseph A. Holmes, dlrec-
tor OF the Bureau Of Mines. yesterday
said:
while these latest mortality statistics
IN tho coal mines Of the country show
slight Improvement over previous years,
the United States has still no record to
be proud Of. In spite OF the progress we
have made. we are stiIl far below the
standard Of safety that We ought to- hev J
reached.
1T Is. Of course. comforting to know
that for each year since 1901 there has
been q decreasing number Of men killed
for every L0oo0o0 tons Of coal mined. and
that for every life lost we have each
year taken out Of the earth more tons
Of coal This Is an improvement IN the
right direction hope that within the
next year or two we VIII see as great an
Improvement In the reduction Of the num-
Der Of men killed per 100 men en-
ployed-"
II was early IN 1903 that the Federal
government began It's investigation Of the
causes OF mine disasters following the
climax Of accidents In 1901. The record
for 1907 and the following years Is as
follows:
isG-&iy7 men killed. or ass in every

MINERS DEBATE
LOCAL UNION
LIBERTIES

Cripple Creek, Colo, July 1.-THE
proposed constitutional amendment tc
permit local unions to make contracts
with employers precipitated a live Y
debate when the Western Federation
OF Miners convention met today.
President Charles H. Meyer, in his an
nual address, approved the plan and
showed where Federation miners
would profit thereby
The plan proposed authorizes local
unions to enter into contracts to
develop property and designate men
to undertake the work, these men to
share in any profits or bonus for per-
forming the work in less than con-
tract time. Supporters of the con-
stitutional change contend it will tend
to throw profits of development work
to the rank and file of the miners
rather than to Independent con-
tractors.
AS the days session progresses the
indications are that, if settled today.
a decision would not be reached un-
til late in the afternoon.

dolph, years old, and Julia 8, be-
cause they were victims of epilepsy

yesterday. Mrs. Uhlman, who was
away from home at the time of the
tragedy, today was still under the
doctors care and unable to add any
details.
The authorities today made public
a letter left by Uhlman, in which he
described his feelings as he began TO
succumb to gas. The letter follows:

HAD NO OBJECT IN CONSPIRACY.

Los Angeles, Calf, July 17.-Call-
ed to the stand for the ostensible
purpose of impeaching a state witness
Fremont Older, managing editor of
the San Francisco Bulletin, early in
his examination today was placed in
the attitude of a virtually important
witness for the defense in the bribery
trial of Clarence S. Darrow.
Strenuous efforts were made by the
prosecution to keep out the testimony
of Mr., Older during which District At
torney Fredericks took occasion to
designate Lincoln Steffens as a busy
body, buz"ing around trying to butt
in and start something"
1t became evident early in Mr..
Older's examination that the defense
expected to prove through him as well
as Stetfens that arrangement had
been practically concluded for the
McNamaras to plead guilty several
days before the alleged bribery of
Juror Lockwood was consummated.
The witness said he came to Los
Angeles five days before the bribery
expose TO take part in a conference.
He produced telegram sent by Dar.

ROOSEVELT STANDS EIRM.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 17.-After
reading the statement made by Will
liam Flynn of Pittsburg and E. A.
VanValkenburg of Philadelphia. two
of his leaders in Pennsylvania, in
support of the plan for placing the
same candidates for presidential elec-
tors on both the Taft and Roosevelt
tickets, Colonel Roosevelt today said
that he would not recede from the
position he has taken in regard to
compromise giving recognition to
Taft claims in the primary states.
The ex-president explained that he
had no objection to having the same
electors on both the Roosevelt and
Taft tickets as contemplated in the
Flynn-VanValkenburg plan, but objects
to any agreement lnder which Presi-
dent Taft should receive the entire
electoral vote of the state in case a
greater number of votes should be
cast on election day for the Taft tic.
ket than for the Roosevelt ticket.

COURT BLOCKS
CHEAPERICE

Schenectady, n. Y. July Ii
! Cheap ice for the poor,' is the plan
OF the Socialist administration of
Schenectady, and the whole city is
stirred by the attempt of the organic.
I ed ice dealers to enjoin Mayor Lunn
and his officials from carrying out the
plan.
The administration stored ice last
winter as part of its promise to help
the people. They started to sell ice at
twenty-five cents a hundred weight
this summeL while the dealers put
the price at forty cents.
They got a local dealer to enjoin
us from selling our ice to the people,"
Mayor Lunn said today, "and that in.
junction cdnnoE be argued until July
%. They went at it. as you might ex-
pect them to. They don't cite any
law as being violated by our efforts to
help out the poor people in this aw-
tul weather by selling them ice at
reasonable rate, but they alleged that
we have not the right to do it. They
tied us up July 3, and on the fourth
we had fully one thousand persons
who needed our ice. So we tried to
DO our work by taking the ice over
from the city as individuals and in this
way letting the people have the bene-
fit. Justice Whitmyer has ordered the
ice we have left, about fifteen thou
sand tons, sold at public auction and
this will be done today. Apparently
the trust believes it will get our ice,
but if it does it will pay well for it."
When asked if he feared any fur.
ther legal action Mayor Luna said:
They already have tried to hamper
our work by asking t6 have the in
junction modified, so as to to prevent
us from using the telephone in the
city offices as an ice bureau. They
cent want to let the people call US
up to get cheap ice, and they don't
want us to have any place where we
can meet them to tell them about it.
But there is a storm brewing. Sat
urday night we had a big mass meeting
and there were thousands present
who will help us in our fight to give
the people this necessity at a price
within their means. or course we will
have to wait to unite the tangle until
the court acts, but in the meantime We
shall not be idle by a long way. l am
in this fight to the finish.''
