FIELDS OF THE COAL STRIKE
IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Gov. Glasscock, Who Is an Important
Witness, Failed to Show
Up Today.
(By Associated Press.)

Charleston, w. Va, June 12.--Five
United States senators today started
into the West Virginia hills to view
the battletields of the coal strike, on
Paint and Cabin creeks. The failure
of Former Governor Glasscock to
reach Charleston today resulted in
dlsarran eing the mine investigating
committees program. Gov. Glass
Geek issued the first proclamatlons
for martial law in the strike districts.
Through him the operators planned
to establish militia by rule and su-
percede the civil courts after the
authorities notified the governor of
their inability to handle the situa-
ticn.
A hundred miners from the hills
came here this morning prepared to
tell how their home country had been
transformed into a theater of civil
war.

REPORT MADE ON WATER.
USED At ICE PLANT
Is Free From Germs Now, But Is Is
Felt That Well Water
Should Be Used

Many complaints have reached the
Telegram concerning the method of
manufacturing ice at the new plant.
This paper has fo:borne making any
comment, however, until fully ad-
vised.
The complaints are based on the
fact that water from Lake Wire has
been used in manufacturing the ice,
When the plant was installed. three
or four months ago, deep we'll was
provided to furnish water for tEG
manufacture of ice for domestic pUr-
poses, but the we'll has never been
connected up. Raw lake water Is
used for making ice for refrigerator
purposes-icing cars, etc.; the water
for ice for domestic uses is boiled and
distilled.
We have seen a report Of analysis
of both the raw and the distilled wa
ter, made by the State board of
health. at the instance Of DR.. R. r.
Sullivan, chairman of the local
health board. This report will be
presented the City Council at its next
meeting. 1t recites that neither SAM
pie contains any disease germs. and
that Ice made from 1t could not be a
carrier Of disease.
DR.. Sullivan's report. however, will
strongly recommend disseminating
the use Of the lake water for ice for
domestic purposes. He states that
while no disease germs are now pres
ent In the water II IL liable to pollu.
ton at any time from surface water
running into the lake.
It will cost something to install
machinery to make the. water Of the
deep well available, and 1t will also
increase the factory's operating ex.
penses to pump this water; but we
believe 1t should be done, regardless
Of this consideration. A competent
physician declares there Is some risk
attached to using the lake water for
Ice for household purposes. and even
If there were no risk, people will al
ways be dissatisfied and have feel
ing OF suspicion and fear. For this
reason alone 1t will be good busi-
ness policy for the ice company to
remove this apprehension by getting
water from an uneQuivocally pure
supply.

1t is possible that Pensacola will

receiving more consideration at the
hands of the navy department, and
the subject has come up in connec-
tion with improvements at the naval
station, Guantanamo, Cuba.
1t is not expected, however, that
Guantanamo will receive much at

likely that what Is expended in the

PROPER MANNER TO
UNCOIL new ROPE
There Are Two Ways Of Per.
forming This important Duty,
One Right, One Wrong.
(By ]. NJ. DREW

The proper way to take rope from a
coil is to draw 1t from the middle.
There are two ways to do this, right
and a wrong way. II It happens to be
done the wrong way the rope will be-
come twisted In Z manner that will
make 1t almost unmanageable. II done
the right way it will come out without
any twisting or snarling and all the
rope in the coil may be drawn out
without trouble. To do 1t properly
the rope should be uncoiled toward
the left, or opposite the way the hands
of a watch or clock run.
BY finding the inside end Of the coil
and observing how It uncoils, one may
tell whether or not be is starting In
the right way. II the rope uncoils to
the right instead of the left the whole
coil should be turned over and the end
pulled through from the opposite sids
Of the coil. The rope will then uncoi
to the left and cause NO trouble.
