General Funston Cables News to Sec
rotary Garrison That Causes Con-
ference With Chief of staff and
the Entire staff Of Army.

Washington.-Upon receiving a lone
cipher cablegram from General
Funston at Vera Cruz, Thursday
night, Secretary Garrison called into
conference at the war department
Major General Wotherspoon, chief of
staff, and the entire general staff OF
the army.
The conference lasted until nearly
midnight. Secretary Garrison and
the army officers wore grave faces
and it was no secret that news of inn
portance had been received.
Later Secretary Garrison said Cen
eral Funston had transmitted some
information which refugees had
brought from Mexico City as 10 con
ditions in the Mexican capital.
He said that no aggressive move
ment of any kind by the American
forces was ordered.
1t was understood hat the refugees
from Mexico City had informed Gen
eral Funston of the critical aspect of
affairs In the Huerta regime, that a
collapse might be expected momen-
tarily and that conditions of anarchy
might ensue. The purpose OF Gen
eral Funston in making known these
reports was believed to be to advise
the Washington administration of the
possibilities that might develop from
a fall of Huerta, in order that, if the

Shale Pozvder
VIII Lessen
Mine Horrors
GOVERNMENT BUREAU a N
NouNcEs DISCOVERY WHICH
REDUCES EXPLOSION.
INSTITUTE MEETING ENDED
MANY INSTRUCTIVE PAPERS
READ.

A new method of reducing the dan,
ger from mine disasters. which is the
closest step yet taken in the attempts
to reach an elimination Of the hor-
rors brought about by explosions, was
announced for the first time yesterday
when L. M. Jones. of the United
States Bureau OF Mines, read a paper
at the last days session Of the winter
meeting OF the Coal Mining Institute
at the Fort Pitt hotel.
The new method is most simple and
defects the research work Of the
chemists and engineers working on
the problem into new channel of
investigation. The basis Of the new
plan, which was discovered by the
bureau, is the application Of powder
ed shale to the path Of the primary
explosion. which is accomplished very
simply. Reduced to dust the shale Is
placed in receptacles at various places
in the mine. At the primary explo.
sion the receptacles are automatically
released. and by their fall the shale
dust is distributed throughout the en-.
try. The effect of the whole Is to con
fine the explosion to the point Of its
initiation. The government is pre-.
pairing circulars, which will be sent
to mining interests during the winter,
but the officials of the Bureau OF
Mines will be glad to answer questions
regarding the plan, in the meantime.
One Of the most interesting papers
of the day was one read by Edward
w. Parker, chief statistician of the Di.
vision of Mineral Resources. dealing
with the opportunity of the United
States coal men to dispose of their
products in Europe. He said only the
high grade Goals would be available
abroad. Germany, he said. had used
almost all Of its own coal supply in
the past, exporting very little, while
England had been able to secure her
maritime commercial supremacy

largely through her exports Of coal.
He said that when the war is over,
England would probably be very con-
sentative in such activities, thus leav,
ing an excellent market to the United
States. He said that while England
has the advantage of having most OF
her deposits near the seaboard, 1t
is counterbalanced in the lower cost

Each strap is held in place by a gold

The other hat was made entirely of
black velvet, and worn with Brus-
sells lace veil, the pattern Of which,
by the way, is chosen so that the de-
signs do not come too close together.
Certain OF these wells should be care
fully avoided, since when the patterns
are at all heavy they frequently have
most grewsome effect, and appear
to obllterate some OF the features en-
