Disaster in Okla homa and West
Virginia have focused public attention
again on the hazards Of coal mining
and the urgent necessity for bringing
about less periious working conditions
i'm the industry.
Notwithsta nding The great advances
made in the physical sciences, the
charleston Daily Mail observes:
There Is one industry which while il
either lack Of knowledge or neglect TO
apply scrupulously the principles
which have been discovered. This is
the mining business. as the recent eX-
blossoms and the resulten nj loss Of life
and crea ton of widows and orphans
exhibit. Much has unquestionably
been done to lessen rhe danger. The
percentage of the loss of life per ton
Of coal mined and per miner has been
decreased. but We still have lar to go
10 attain the desired factors of safety. ;"
Steps already taken in the direction
OF improving conditions are com

QUEEN MARIE IS
STILL CENTER OF
PETTY SQUABBLES
Encourage Is Divided In
Two Camps Over Ques-

BY JOHN MONTGOMERY

ABOARD QUEEN MARIE g
SPECIAL TRAIN IN NORTHERN
MONTANA, Nov. S.-A queen to-
day travels across the wilds of the
Rocky Mountains bc>et by more in
trigue than surrounded her at amy
time during her court life.
Half the occupants of her special
train are not speaking to the other
half except from a frigid nod when
propriety demands. Whispered con
fercnces abound. Meaning glances
are passed by the members Of the
same faction when a member of the
opposing faction appears.
Out az Il maelStrom Of tangled
hatred has come the nucleus of two
separate and distinct parties oppos-
ing each other at every turn.
One faction supported John II.
Carroll in charge of the special train.
The other faction supports Loie
Fuller, invalid dance imprcsario AMI
intimate friend of Queen Marie and
her children.
The division of the camps into two
parties was caused by the quarrel
between Samuel Hill. Washington
road builder and founder of Mary
hill museum. which the queen dedi-
Gated, and Stanley WashbWn, her
ma jesty'S aide. Carroll defended
Washburn and succeeded in eXpcli-
ing Hin from the train against the
hearty protest of Miss Fuller, who
was connected with Hin in the mu-
Spurl
