BLASTS PREVENTABLE
L. S. Engineer Urges Safety Law
for Indiana.


for Indiana.
"Mine explosions such as the one
today at Princeton can largely be
prevented through the exercise of
proper safety methods" declared j.
J. Forbes. chief engineer Of the ex.
tension service of the United States
bureau Of mines.
Forbes addressed this morning the
adjourning session Of the second
Statewide Industrial conference
which opened Tuesday at the Clay
pool, on Coal Mine Safety Devices. &"
Law Needed
Indiana needs law compelling
mine operators to utilize rock dust
ing as an explosion preventive, "
Forbes continued. 1.-The process con-
sists Of blowing powdered limestone
into the mine to make the coal dust
mixture less than 35 per cent volatile
coal and the remainder the nonex-
plosive rock dust.
This eXpedient reduces the
danger of explosion incomparably,
by rendering the loose material un.
der twenty-mesh size invoatile.
Water applied to the drilling bits
used in underwriting is also advis-
able, as it vets the dust as formed
and prevents it from sitting through
the air.
Used Canary
Forbes demonstrated the use OF
oxygen as a resuscitator for carbon
monoxide poisoning, by supplying
a canary bird in a cage before the
convention and restoring it by ap-
plying oxygen.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day says:
Reactionary tendencies in Wednes-
days session succeeded in eliminat-
ing some weak speculative holdings
and & tocks gave evidence of a
strVMer technical position at the
opening of the stock market here to-
day.
Steel Common gained to 1493s
General Motors g to 146l5 and AL
lied Chemical q to 1879. Case
Threshing Machine scored a rapid
uprush advancing points to 1872.
This reflected the expectation of a
capital reimbursement which is eX-
pected to pave the way for a liberal
common dividend.
Speculative sentiment was given
encoura cement by the development
Of active demand for the rails
around noon. This movement was
regarded as particularly significant
in view of the fact that an advance
of about two points in the Dow
Jones railroad average would give
confirmation to the upward trend
displayed by the industrial list over
the last six weeks.
Baltimore & Ohio headed the i'm
provement in the carrier group,
gaining Us to 1918. Northwestern
rails maintained the advancing tend
encies which made them prominent
in the previous days trading, while
resumption Of strength occurred in
the southwestern group.

The crowd of bystanders grew

spread through the mining COM

gas, while going TO or returning
from the place.
Two Crawl Out
Five Of the injured miners were
carried from the mouth Of the shaft
soon after the explosion. They had
just started down in the cage when
the blast occurred at GO this
morning.
Two hours later two dazed work
ers crawled to safety through q
manway. They could tell but little
Of what had occurred inside the
mine.
The sides of the shaft had been
caved in, they said.

ran toward the manway," one said.
I'VE have been struggling up ever
since"
1t was impossible to learn the ex-
act situation at the shaft or how
soon rescue workers might burrow
through the debris. Ventilators were
still working in the mine, however.
The shaft, more than five hundred
feet deep. reached a vein of No. 4,
Indiana coal, which is classed as
gaseous.
