ARCHIBALD ID
 FIGHT CHARGES
Will Clear Himself of Suspicion of Intriguing in Violation of
 Neutrality Laws.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-James Archibald, the American newspaper man who became involved in the sen- sational intrigue which has resulted in Ambassador Dumba, of Austria, being requested to return to Vienna, has engaged the services of a prom inent New York attorney and states he will make a fight to clear himself of any suspicion of having conspired to violate the neutrality laws of the United States.
 Archibald reiterates his statement that he was handed the letter as he was going up the gangplank just be- fore the steamer sailed for England. He received the letter from Dumba's private secretary and was not aware of its contents. He believed that the letter would secure special privileges for him in his work at the front among Austrian officers as he had re- quested Dumba to use his efforts in securing news for his paper.
 The correspondent Is indignant at Dumba and his secretary for their efforts at attempting to use him to convey information to Vienna which would discredit Americans there.

 The announcement of Ambassador Bernstorff that Germany would rec ognize the rights of neutral vessels in the war zone by giving them warn- ing before sinking the vessels has caused many timid ship owners to seek business in the carrying of cot ton to Europe.
 The cotton crop of Texas this year will exceed all past records as the area under cultivation was nearly five hundred thousand acres greater than that of last year. The planters are realizing a good price for their cotton sales with Europe, which is being financed through New York banks.

 STRIKE |S ENDED
Activities of European Agents arc Believed to Have Caused
 Strike in New York.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The long shoremen's strike, which has hamp- cred shipping for several days, has been settled and the men have re- turned to work.

 Reports from San Francisco and other Pacific Coast ports state that leaders of the International Long, shoremen's Union are opposed to the local unions going on strike at the present time, owing to the general feeling that European agents have been active among the men, with a view of having shipments for Europe delayed.

INVESTIGATION |S
 NOT SATISFACTORY
Secretary Lansing Determined to Stop Leaks of Confidential News
 from State Department.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 21.-, Omeials of the State department are dissatisfied with the result of the in- vestigation as to how the New York Sun secured a copy of the letter sent to Secretary Lansing by Austrian Am bassador Dumba, in which the latter complained that the had been unable to cable to Vienna an explanation of the charges which have caused him to be recalled.
 The New York paper published the letter within a few hours after it had been received by Secretary Lansing and served to further discredit the Ambassador as complaining against the treatment accorded him by the State department. Secretary Lansing regarded the letter as strictly private and is mystified as to where the leak occurred.
 Ambassador Dumba, as we'll as his secretary, deny they are responsible for the letter reaching the newspaper and the reporter who secured the copy of the letter has failed to offel . satisfactory explanation as to how he secured it. That leak in official business of the State department ex- ists is the opinion of Secretary Lan, stng and he is determined to learn the source and prevent recurrence as it is feared that other government secrets are becoming known to for eign nations.
 It is believed that the publication of Dumba's letter will result in the closing of all avenues of news for reporters except through the heads of departments.

VENTILATION IN COAL MINES
Many Points to Be Observed In the
Installation Of indispensable
Machinery.

The supreme Importance of good
ventilation in coal mines is now gen
orally recognized, and what consti-
tutes good ventilation is the subject
OF bulletin issued by the U. S. bu-
reau of mines. An efficient ventilat-
ing system must supply fresh air in
sufficient quantities for all the men
and must dilute and render harmless,
and quickly remove. all dangerous
gases in the workings. Large airways
and slow-moving but ample currents
are better than narrow airways and
air currents moving so fast that they
stir up and carry the coal dust, and
the ventilating fan should be kept
running "a hours a day whether there
are men in the mine or not The fan
should not be placed over the shaft or
In front of drift or slope opening
into the mine, but at one side, SO that
IT will not be disabled in case of an
explosion Generally it is a serious
mistake to reverse the fan. If there
Is fire in the mine this is likely to
drive inf'ammable gases over the fire
and cause an explosion. and at any
time there is danger that reversing
the fan will push the in1ammable
gases out on naked lights.-Modern

the ancient institutions that In Eng.
