safe where the money was kept appar-
emily Was not opened by the explosion
and while there were many thousands
o. dollars worth OF stamps of larger

Mr. Staniey's reply, received Monday
IS as follows Report Of my withdraw
al IS an absurd and groundlcss canard,
too silly for serious consideration
IL IS evident from the tone of the
telegram that Mr. Stanley's under
standing OF the published report was
that his withdrawal, il it took place,
voLid be without any endorsement
whatever 1t was pointed out, how
ever, IN the Leader that Mr.. Stanley's
withdrawal would not be prompted by
, influences not at all to Mr.. Stanley's
liking, through the simple process OF
withholding at least some OF the re-
vcrues needed for the continuance of
an active campaign.
A Louisville paper in discussing the
same subject said that the opponents of
Mr. lieckham were coming to the con-
clusion that IL was useless to attempt
to fight Beckham with Stanley, and
further said that while no effort might
be made to induce him to withdraw.
ana that he might continue a candidate
until the close of the campaign, the
support given at the opening OF the
campaign would be found to have melt
ed away at the close II is scarcely to
be expected that Mr.. Stanley would
concede the possibility of any such
evcntuality. and that in denying il. he
would use terms as strong as possible.

IVA. MINES MAKE
RECORD FOR SAFETY

CHARLESTON. w. Va. Sept IL
Great Britain has for years CnJO!ed the
reputation of having the best conducted
and the safest coal mines in the world.
For long time it has been the practice
to compare West Virginia coal mining
with that Of England. to the dIsparage-
ment of West Virginia. But recent re-
ports show that West Virginia is far
ahead OF Great Britain.
In the Daily Consular and Trade Re
port for August p Lorin a. Lathrop.
American consul at Cardiff. Wales.
gives some interesting figures from the
report for 1913 of the chief inspector of
mines for the United Kingdom. \ com
parson of these figures with those on
the records of the West Virginia depart
mcnt of mines for the same period has
been a source of qualification to the
State mining authorities and to the
West Virginia operators.
The reports show that in Great Brit
ain in 1913. there were 3.2S9 mines as
against 81 in West Virginia, and that
the production I'm England per employe
was 2h7 ions. while in West Virginia II
was SO. 1t is also set forth that each
person employed underground in Eng
land produced $50 tons as against Ions
in West Virginia. demonstrating the
greater earning capacity Of the men
employed in West Virginia mines.
Nor is the foregoing the most import
ant or the most interesting exhibit OF
the two reports. In the $3.50 mines in
Great Britain Ia $40 persons were killed
or injured, an average of "a for each
mine In the Sl1 mines in West Nir-
ginia, in the same period, 916 persons
w,re killed or injured an average Of
| 20 for each mine. or 81 81 better than
England The British report also sets
forth that for every 1000 persons en-
plOyed in the mines in the United King
dom 100 were either killed or injured,
as against IS In West Virginia. making
more than ten men injured in each LOO
British miners to one in each LOO In
West Virginia.
These figures serve to emphasize a re-
cent statement of r. Dawson Hall, one
OF the most prominent writer's on tbs
coal trade in the United States, that the
operators of West Virginia were amons
the most progressive i'll the world, ana
that they were second to none IN tne
wonderful strides they were making lA
| securing greater safety Tor the men EN-
plOyed in mining.
