Draft Coincidence Resolutions
on ex-Sen. Kean's Death

ELIZABETH, Nov. Shelters and
kilograms expressing sympathy over
The death of former United States
Senator John Kean, who died at his
aome, Ursino, Wednesday night, were
received by the family eyesterday.
These messages of coincidence were
from men prominent in financial and
political circles in the nation and
state.
The funeral services will take place
at 2:15 O'Clock Saturday afternoon, in
st. Johns Episcopal Church. The
rector, Rev. Lyttleton K. Hubbard,
will officiate. The list of pallbearers
will be announced later.
A special meeting of the County
Republican Committee was held to-
night in its rooms In Broad street,
at which resolutions of coincidence
were passed. An engrossed copy of
the resolutions will be sent to the
family.
In the Court of Common Pleas to-
day the death of Mr.. Kean was for
rally announced to the members of
the Union County Bar Association by
Surrogate Parrot. Judge Connolly oc-
eupied the bench and called the court
TO order, for the purpose Of hearing
the announcement.

PROPHESY C. O.P.
REACTION IS DUE
Jersey Democrats Say Other
Elections Are Coming-Fight-
ing Not All Done.

TRENTON, Nov. 5.--The fact that
there Is to be an election next year
and the year after that appears TO
have escaped the attention of some
of the Republicans who gathered at
the State House and began hooking
all of the big and little offices today
The impression they appeared to have
was that the result of Tuesdays bal
loting makes elections wholly unnec-
essary for several years, and that the
Democrats might just as we'll move
to make it unanimous. Governor
Fielder, State Chairman Grosscup and
other 1--we Democrats, however, did
not share that view of the situation.
They claim that there are to be other
elections and that the fighting is not
over by any means.
Among many of the Democrats of
the State there is a strong feeling of
optimism. They share the belief %
the governor that the Republican
sweep Of Tuesday was due to a feel
Ing of unrest among the voters. that
there Is sure to be a strong reaction
and that the attitude of the party
under the lead of President Wilson
will be better known and understood
long before next November. They say
that in that case the voters will then
realize which party is most likely to
stand for the peoples needs and they
will reverse the conditions. Some of
the most astute of the political OBJ
servers in the State express the
opinion that the Republicans in the
next Legislature will be unable to
make as good a showing as has been
made by the Democrats in the last
four years because of their corpora
ton alliances.

MINE SAFETY ADVANCES

According TO the report for the
year 1913 of Director Holmes of
the Bureau of Mines, during the
few years since the beginning OF
mine-ssfety Investigations there
has been a marked increase in the
general interests taken by miners.
mine owners and the general pub
lie in questions relating to mine
safety and a marked decrease in
the number Of fatalities and in
juries Notwithstanding the increase
in the number of men employed
in the mines. The bureau has en-
desvored to organize and lead in
the movement for mine safety and
in addition to its investigations
has disseminated a large amount
of information on accident preven-
ton. In this work it has had the
cooperation of state officials as
we'll as miners and mine owners.
The activity of the bureau has re-
suited ir increased effort on the
part Of mine laboratories and min
ing engineers to improve mine
practice and better equip the mines
with safety devices and rescue ap-
planes. For instance, at present
there are several thousands sets of
rescue breathing apparatus in use
besides auxiliary equipment for fire
fighting. Rescue stations have
been provided at which groups Of
mcn have been instructed in the
use of apparatus and in mine res
cue work. This work Is also cor
Quoted by private agencies and by
mine operators and by the Red
cross: but the demands on the bur
eau for such instruction have not
diminished. During the three years
in which mine rescue and first aid
work have been taught 81 1903 min
