Former Director
Says.
Washington. ID. G.. Oct. ae.-From

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 26.-From
his place of seclusion here, Charles X.
FORBES, former director of the Vet
Grams Bureau, issued a statement to-
day denying as utterly and abso-
lutely FALSE" the story of Elias II.
Mortimer of Philadelphia, before the
Senate investigating committee, OF al
legged bribery and corruption in con-
nection with contracts for Veterans
Bureau hospitals.
Il do not feel that ought to make
any statement in advance of the full
and complete testimony which l shall
give under oath on the witness stand"
said Mr.. Forbes statement. How
ever, at the insistent urging of my
friends ami i'll response 10 inquiries
from the press, l can not refrain
from saying that every charge aud
every word of testimony, especially
that of Elias III. Mortimer, reflectms
on my personal or official integrity,
are utterly and absolutely false and
without the slightest foundation.
The story of the receipt by me of
$1,000 bride was not only false, but so
absurd as to be ridiculous. The only
thing l ask of the public is TO with
hold judgment until my witnesses and
l are heard and the full documentary
evidence produced.

Making Fog for Mines.

THERE has been invented a ma
chine for producing an artificial
fog. 1t is intended to diminish the
danger Of explosions of coal dust in
mines. A hollow wheel is mounted on
wheel is equipped with spray nozzles
at it's rim. At the hub there is an
opening for the admission of water.
AT the back Is a fan.
When the wheel Is rotated by the
motor and water is admitted to the
opening in the hub, this water rushes
through the nozzles in the form of a
fine spray, which Is seized. brokensup
still finer and thrown outward by the
blast of air from the fan blades
placed at the back.
There is practically no drip of wa
ter and the mist produced is so ex-
tremeiy fine as to be fairly termed a
fog. hanging suspended in the air in
excessively minute particles, just as
natural fog does. &
The purpose, OF creating this arti-
fetal fog is to dampen the coal dust.
which is always floating about in the
subterranean atmosphere OF coal
mines, and thus to prevent it from ig-
riting-explosions of such dust being
the most common cause of coal min
ing disasters.
The machine converts into fog a
gallon and half of water. per min
ute. For use such an apparatus can
be placed at the mouth of q mine, so
that the great tentilating. fan can
drive the fog in and down through

1t may be SAID that the less con-
tact a reporter has with the edit
tor in chief, the more serene is his
existence, and the more Liable is
the graph of his success to be on
an ascendant curve.
A reporter, unmoved by con-
formations of the great and would
be great, is a nervous individual
when he is standing across the desk
from the top editor.
Imagine, then, newsgatherer OF
some experience in the little-unde"-

with assorted recollections of edi-

been formulated and adopted upon
which the declaration could be based.

20 appoint the committee to agree to
the principles Of this plan.

lion enter upon the preparation of a

cipIeS of a united church with two

erning body. with a common name,
articles of faith. ritual, hymnal, gen.
eral rules. terms of membership, re-
quirements and provisions for the
ministry, common administrative
boards and bodies wherever practi-
cable, commol judicial procedure,

ing federal BODY with such powers as
may be hereafter agreed upon.
Following the adjournment Of the
Joint commission meeting, late last
night the Methodist Episcopal Church
commission met in executive session.

ing this gathering, but it was learn
ID that the proposal Of the South
