UpIift csmpiisu In West Virginia
Mines.

Charleston. W. Va. Jan. u. THE
coal operators Of West Virginia are go
ing down into their pockets to finance
. campaign for the education and sosial
advancement of miners and mine labor
ers.
Dean Jones. Of the School of Mines
at the Slate University. announced
that he had prepared these plans for
mine extension work. and he called att
tention to the fact. that already great
deal Of work had been done by the op.
orators Aiong this line
Jchn Laing. former Chief of the State
Department of Mines. explaining this
work, took occasion to remark on
the advancement IN methods for the
preservation OF human life, increase in
sanitation and the Eetteiment Of social
conditions,
.Clergymen of all erceds. whether
for white or colorcd people. said Mr.
LANG. .'are teing engaged at the sug-
gestion Of the miners aud paid BY The
operators When these clergymen
take up their work they are allowed q
free hand. and their il fiuenee is begirs
nipg to show itself. particularly with
the children Of the various mining com
munities. This practice Of employing
clergymen is becoming general in The
state.
I'm addition to this the number of
Young Mems Christian Associations il
increasing. Wherever there are M.
C. A. buildings, and all of Them have
been erected at the expense of the
company they are community centers.
All Of them have swimming pools and
baths. free II AIDING rooms, lecture room.
gymnasia. pool and billiard tables, ard
bowling alleys.
A fee of from one to five dollars a
year is charged and wherever an Asso-
citation is found in mining communities
nearly all the male portion of The popn-
lation will be found en- the membership
roll. So pleased are the operators. Who
have helped organize there Y NJ C As
at the coed accomplished, that they
lost TO opportunity to show other OPP
orators what can be dcne al ng this
line Itmay be said that within the

But one sho,lld not fnrget the hos

giria. Operators are lining forces in
building tl.tse hospitals where all fami-
hes can be cared for. This provisionis
especially graft ying to the miners, and
every miner gladly paws 25c. month
toward the running expo
Taking all these things into consid-
sratinn we have reason to believe that
West Virginia is now Leading all coal

upon by the Government to-day to
send the latest news that they have
in reference to Theodore Roosevelt
and his party, who are reported to
have met with an accident in the
interior
The first advices Of the Roosevelt
partys misfortune reached here from
New York, the dispatch sent there by
Anthony Fiala, a member Of Colonel
Roosevelts exploring expedition,
being Immediately transmitted to Rio
de Janeiro Fiala's message caused
deep concern at first, but after 1t had
been scanned by Government Off
cials they declared their belief that
none OF the party had met with harm.
They based their assertions ON the
fact that F'lala merely announced,

ids" and made no mention of inju
ries or casualties.
q II is believed that several days will
elapse before the details of the acct
dent reach civilization, as Fiala's
message was sent from Santarem, a
point about 100 miles from the coast.
The party should have no trouble in
reaching the coast from Santarem,

7 WO HOMES
ROBBED Of
JEWELS
Police BaffIed by Looting of Sc
cret Vault in Peachtree Road
Residence.

Detectives are probing the mystic
rious disappearance OF nearly $1,000
worth of jewelry belonging to Mrs.
Charles j. Haden, prominent society
and club woman, of No. 1919 Peach
tree road
Fear of an impending burglary Fri
day caused Mrs. Haden to remove the
greater part of her jewels to a safety
deposit vault in downtown bank.
The night before she had read Of
various robberies in Atlanta, which
caused her to take some precautions
for the protection of her own jewels.
Mrs. Haden would not tell the value
of the jewels saved by their removal
Mrs. Haden Discovers Theft.
The loss of the jewelry was dis
covered Saturday night by Mrs. Ha-
den while she was hunting for her
husbands shaving set, which was
lost The search led her to her own
room, where she found that all her
jewels which had been left in the
house were stolen.
She told the police that they were
there Wednesday evening. Mr.. Haden
said he had used his shaving set SAT-
urday morning. No trace of the shaw
ing set has been found, which leads
the police to believe that other parts
of the house also were visited.
The jewels stolen were a pearl neck
lace, a diamond brooch, an enameled
pin set with diamonds. an expensive
Swiss watch and pearl and gold
pair of opera glasses. A small black
lynx fur also was taken.
They had been placed in the locked
secret drawer in the dresser. The
drawer was not broken into, and evil
IDENTIFY was opened with a pass key
Mrs. Haden thought.
As yet no tangible clew has been
found 1t is thought that the house
was entered through second story
window
Another Home Robbed.
A second iewelry robbery had the
police puzzled Monday. Two negroes
entered the home Of u. G.. Wise, pres
ident OF the Adams Wise Drug Com
pany, at No. 375 CORTLAND street. at
o'clock Saturday afternoon, taking
jewelry and clothes worth about $500
When Mrs. Wise and her sister,
Mrs. E. H. Fell, wife OF r. II. Fell.
assistant general passenger agent Of
the A., B. and A. Railroad, returned
home they saw two negroes leap
through rear window and run down
the street.
Investigation showed that dia-
mond brooch worth $500, diamond
socket valued at $3.50 gold watch
valued at $50, number Of valuable
stickpins and some clothes had been
stolen.
The thieves gained entrance to the
house by breaking a front window
and then throwing open the catch.
Evidently the pair had been in the
house for some time, as a thorough
systematic search had been made.
Every room was entered. Part Of the
jewelry was locked in Mrs. Wises
trunk
