bristling with difficulties of constitu-

will require considerable time for study
and much communication with colonial

reply can be made.
So far as Downing street knows Can
ada is not concerned. and it is expected
that Washington will take up the matter
with Ottawa direct. But as regards the
Bermudas and Nassau and the West In

The most difficult phase of the sit

up process aimed at by the drys Is to

There is no treaty between the
United States and Great Britain d.
rectly bearing upon such questions as
smuggling and 1t Is only by the widest
and most liberal Interpretation that ex-
listing treaties of amity and commerce
could be held to apply to the case.
The State Department, pending the
answer of the British Government to
its representations. will have nothing
to say on the character of the regula-
tions that are deemed necessary to
solve the problem.
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel of the
Anti-Saloon League, believes that a
series of treaties would be the most ef-
fective way of stopping smuggling
Much could be accomplished. however
through cooperation at ports from
which smugglers sail, he said
Wheeler's Suggestions.
He specified three ways whereby
smuggling could be lessened. First, by
issuance of instructions to British Gus
toms officers to exercise stricter precau-
tions in regard to vessels with liquor
cargoes leaving the ports of the United
Kingdom; second. stricter regulation of
bogus companies which purport to trans
port liquor to wet countries. whereas
they are really doing business with
American bootleg concerns third. taxi

This would be entirely in the discre-

not take at all kindly to the suggestions
that they assume responsibility for the

the diplomatic efforts of the State De-

Reinald Werrenrath Recital.

a world that sadly needs betterment
but nothing that is more worthy of
special remembrance than it's intro

had to wait years for the recognition
they now receive when they most de-

Reinald werrenrath. one Of the
most charming baritones that Wash

be one of these; but it is certain that
even before his appearance in public
here his singing records made him a
household favorite and added largely
to his list Of admirers who are al

mistakable delight in his singing and
in his songs.
Mr. Werrenrath. at his recital in the
City Club bathroom last evening. had
evidence of this, and he also realized
that no matter how beautiful his pro-
gram may have been as originally
blamed, there was an unmistakable
undercurrent of desire to hear him
in his record songs that occupy a
fayorite position in every record al

LASKER AND ASSOCIATES
CITED BY JUSTICE H|TZ
Must Show Cause Why They
Should Not Show Accounts
to Receivers.

Justice Hitz of the District Su-
preme Court yesterday cited Albert
u. Lasker and his associates on the
United States Shipping Board to show
cause on December why they should
not show the receivers of the Downey
Shipbuilding Corporation of Airing
ton, n Y, how the company's claim
for s7,O0O,O00 had been wiped out and
a bill for $50O.0OO due the Shipping
Board presented to the receivers.
The courts order is based on pc
tition in mandamus filed by William
e. Coke, ]. Ernest Allen and William
F. Purdy, receivers, in which they
say they spent thousands OF dollars
in costs and expenses in connection
with the presentation of their claim
before the claims commission of the
board, and took 1000 pages Of testi-
mony in support Of it. The claim
was argued and submitted last July.
The receivers declare they were
notified their claim had been disal-
lowed and a counterclafm OF $5O0,000
approved by the commission, but de-
spite their efforts they have been
unable to see a copy of the report
and finding of the commission and
they have been denied the right to

Explosions of coal dust in the mine
atmosphere. similar to the fatal ex-
plosion in the Domolite mine near
Birmingham, Ala, last Wednesday,
may be neutralized. If not entirely
prevented. by two positive methods.
experts of the United States bureau
of mines declared today.
The first method of preventing coal
mine dust explosions most generally
in use. which is also probably the
cheapest. is by wetting down the
roof, walls and floor Of the mine pas
sage by sprinkling water on the
dust which has settled. In every
coal mining operation. it has been
proven by tests conducted at the
Pittsburgh experimental mine. there
are released quantities of this fine
dust into the air. When the coal
dust content in the atmosphere
varies in some mines. according to
ventilation. this mixture will explode
with terrific force when brought in
contact with an open fame or an
electric spark.
shale Dust Preventative.
Another method of neutralizing the
effect of a coal-dust-laden atmos-
phere is by mixing with the coal dust
an inert. n-explosive dust, such as
shale dust. A scattering of shale
dust or any heavy. inert rock dust
over the coal dust will accomplish
practically the same results as wet
ting down the mine by lessening the
proportion of coal dust per cubic foot
of air.
Pure coal dust itself. the bureau
found in the course Of a series of
tests at Pittsburgh, is very difficult
to wet down. but when mixed with
shale dust it absorbs water readily.
Use of exhaust steam in coal mines
as a factor in settling the explosive
coal dust mixture has also been

Simple Methods Preuent Loss
Of Life IN Mine Explosions

found efficacious in explosion pre-
vention.
Deep Mines Ventilated.
All deep coal mines. except per-
haps few strip mines which run
along the coal seam on the side of
hill, are ventilated by huge fans
which pump into the mine quantities
Of air to keep circulation through
the mine constant. This current of
air. however. is not strong enough
to keep down the dust prevalent in
the atmosphere. and it requires some
artificial measure to lessen its ex-
plosive quality. When a coal car
passes by the dust is raised and
released into the atmosphere many
times a day.
This dust. again, is often mixed
with methane, the chemical cha, an
explosive gas in itself. when touched
off by an open flame. and the result
ing duSt-gas mixture. besides hav-
ing tremendous burning qualities,
has bursting effect equal to poor
grade of black powder. Ventilation
brattices in mine dust explosions are
usually torn to pieces by the force
of the explosion. and the flame fol-
lows beyond the brattices into the
dust-laden atmosphere beyond.
Force Far Reaching.
The force of a mine dust explosion.
however. goes frequently many times
beyond the actually dust impregnated
air. as was proven in the Dolomite
disaster. when a flame shot up from
the mine mouth, igniting and de-
stroying the tipple over the mouth
of the mine and killing several men
working in and about the mine
mouth.
Coal that will pass through 100
mesh screens 600 wires to the linear
inch) is accepted as representing
mine dust-the explosive dust which
caused the Dolomite disaster
Mine dust explosions have caused
fatalities reaching into the thous-
ands, the worst of which was the ex-
plosion of Monongah, w. Va. when
35S miners were killed.
