HAS
POLITICAL THRILL
Must Elect New Governor and May
Have Two Elections Instead
of One.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan 31.-The
state of Arkansas today is facing a
unique situation in the possibility of
TWO elections being made necessary
by the legislatures action in electing
Governor Robinson to be United
States senator, beginning March A.
The election of the governor two
weeks after he assumed office makes
an election necessary to choose his
successor, because Arkansas statutes
do not provide for lieutenant gov
ernor. Earl Hodges, newly elected
secretary of state has announced that
he will be candidate for the COVER
norship. If he is successful, another
election will be necessary to elect his
successor.
Several candidates have announced
themselves willing to accept the gov
ernorship, among them X. O. .Pindall,
who served two years as acting gov
ernor; John H. Hinemon, former state
superintendent OF public instruction;
Robert L. Hodges, former attorney
general; DR.. H. Brough, professor
Of economics at the University Of
Arkansas; D. A.. Gates. chairman Of
the Arkansas tax commission, and
Judge G. w. Hays OF Camden.
The state is more unsettled polit
ically than it. has ever been at the
prospects of the coming election and
possibility of two of them.

COAL DUST WAS

so SAYS STATE mine INSPECTOR
R. \. BEDD0W REGARDING The
CATASTROPHE AT DAWSON RE-
GENTLY GAS HAD LITTLE PART
IN IT SAYS REPORT.
BEDD0W MAKES
FORMAL STATEMENT

Dawson. N. NJ, Nov. 4,--Coal dust
was the predominant force in the eX-
plosion that wrecked mine No. OF
the Stag Canon Fuel company here
October 90, and resulted in the death
of 263 men, according TO statement
issued today by Rees II. Beddow,
state mine inspector. 1t has not been
determined what ignited the dust The
statement declared that gas played
very little, If any part in the explo-
sion: that week before the explosion
he had taken samples of air, which
were analyzed by the United States
bureau of mines at Pittsburg, and
showed only nineteen one hundredths
of one per cent of Inenthane. This
the inspector points out is very low
for mine of that character. He
says that in the last ten days experts
have been searching for gas, but have
not found enough anywhere in the
mine to show in a safety lamp test.
Inspector Beddows statement fol
lows;
Gas played very little part in the
explosion of the Dawson mine. The
mine was the best ventilated mine in
the state. There was 10000 to 190,-
600 cubic feet of air travelling through
the mine per minute. This air was
divided into many different splits, 60
ing into all parts of the mine, thus
preventing any accumulation of gas.
For the past ten days many OF the
| best gas experts and mining men OF
! the country have been examining the
mine and hunting for gas, but not
enough has been found anywhere to
show up in safety lamp test. A week
previous to the explosion took sam
pies of the main return air and had it
analyzed by the United States bureau
OF mines at Pittsburg, Pa. The analy-
sis of the air showed only nineteen
one hundredths of one per cent of
menthane, c. HI, which is very
low for a mine of this character
Coal dust was the predominant
! force that propagated the explosion
throughout all the mine, and is the
most serious and difficult problem the
coal operators have to contend with in
operating their mines. What stirred
up and ignited the coal dust has not
been determined up to the present
time. This may be revealed later on,
when some of the rooms and pillars
which are now inaccessible have been
cleaned out, and in which further in
vestigation will be made.
