THE DISTRICT LEDGER, FERNIE, B. 0., JUNE 26,1915* Nanaimo Explosion rury's Verdict h No Blame Attached to Anyone for Explosion at Reserve Mine in which Marty Lives Were.Lost. NANAIMO, B. C, June 18.—The inquiry conducted ' by Coroner Jeffs of Vancouver into the circumstances con- nected with the explos-on at Reserve Mine concluded this afternoon with tho jury returning the following verdict: "We, tlve jury empanelled to inquire Into the cause of the death ot William -Ball, Robort Klrkbrlde and twenty others, find that the deceased camo to an accidental death on the 27th of May by an explosion of gas In the Reserve (Mine,of the Western Fuel Co., Nanaimo, and after hearing the evidence of thirty-three witnesses we cannot attach blame to any person. We also find that every precaution and care has been fully exercised by the management of the said company." In accepting the verdict Coroner Jeffs thanked the jurymen for their services and .expressed the belief they had come to the only verdict possible according to ^ the evidence submltte.1. He congratulated the jurymen on the harmonious proceedings and also on the high Intelligence shown by all the witnesses, lt not bein? necessary to Imve an Interpreter, which was generally found necessa:;.- In mining communities. Thomas Graham, Chief Inspector of Mines, residing at Victoria, was the most Important witness of the morning, and his evidence concluded the in- inquiry. John Newton, inspector of mines, who resides here, was the other, witness. Both these witnesses sup ported the theory that the initial ex- plosion took place in No. 5 crosscut, Mr. Hudson Recalled At the opening of the morning ses sion, Mr. Ashworth, who formulated the theory that the explosion occurred In the slope and was caused by the explosion of a detonator, asked leave, ass an appointee of the Provincial Government, to .question the 'witnesses. Immediately Coroner Jeffs granted the request, he asked to have Jlr. Hudson, the Ottawa expert, recalled. Kor near- FROM THE FRONT carry brattice all the way down the center of the slope. Par down the slope they found the bodies of the young 'Mazs, Guffogg 'and Williams. Masts' body was badly burned, but from the condition of the other two bodies the witness concluded that there was but little flame Jn this section of the mine. At the face of the counterslope there was a cave. When (the party arrived at this point they were relieved by another crew. "J. cannot conclude that the Initial explosion occurred in the slope," stated thd witness.- He then.proceeded to give his reasons for holding to the No. 5 crosscut. He proved his point by the process of elimination. The eastern section of the mine was practically Intact. There was not enough evidence of flame in the slope to warrant an explosion of such proportion as to. wreck the mine. Similarly in N'o. 6 cross cut there were but little signs of a disruptive force having acted. There was then only.one other place \\yhere the explosion could have taken place, that being in No. 5 crosscut, where there was much evidence of flame and where the miners were killed in their trabks. Were There Two Explosions? Here there was a very heavy cave. Thomas Suter's lamp was .found broken. Just how it was shattered will probably never be known, but it probably was struck by a light fall of coal. This fall liberated a quantity of gas which exploded. Then came the heavy cave which liberating an enormous quantity of gas which exploded with terrific force. Witness thought that there was not enough oxygen to accomplish a complete combustion and some of the gas was probably driven ahead of the force. Running along the level this gas, seeking escape, probably shot up the slope where there was much oxygen, Therefore a secondary, explosion probably occurred near young .Mazs and Crew*. Mazs was probably driven to the face of the slope by the force. Guffogg and Williams, who were working near the face of the slope, probably ran about 100 and ro perplexing were examined, seme of the u\\it*su<-,na thin niauy went untnswered. Ml. Hudson oxpuliul thut he was not a representative of the Dominion Government in the strict sense of the word,.but that he was sent in an advisory capacity, vote for clieckweighmen and only members of the Local Union are entitled to vote to- Financial Secretary.

Questioned by a juror witness did not think thd shot ln No. 6 crosscut had anything, to do with the explosion. He thought that the distance (about ,55 feet) was too great to communicate the force.

In reply to Mr. Ashworth's question, wltnoss stated that It was an Impossibility to tell how -Suter's lamp was smashed. Witness would not state from memory at what percentage gas would explode He thought tbat when gas caused an elongated or blue flame In a lamp it should be reported In the ■ mine. Had Examined Mino John Newton, who has been an In- spector for five years, -stated that he was at the scene ot the explosion a tew minutes «fter It occurred. Ho found tho fanning apparatus running strong. He accompanied Mr. Hunt and others on the rescue crew, and related the story of the recovery of some of the bodies, which evidence was similar to thst of Mr. Hunt. Wltnoss was called to Britannia shortly afterwards, and did not take part In tho later operations. Witness stated thit on May 8th ko made an examination o( tbo mino, He bad made a rogular report. The ventilation was good but there bad been a • small amount of explosive gas In tbo west levels. He took samples ot air and lent tbem to Ottawa tor examine- tion. The returns showed tbat tbe sample contained no carbon monoxide but .0* parts of carbon dioxide hnd 78,6 part* otnituttfrb and other Ingrt- dlents In fairly normal proportions. To Mr. Pisco witness stated tbat lt was practically an Impossibility^ to place two doors where tbo one bad been blown away In tho wost level. Witness had been satisfied with tbe mine and never bad hsd an occasion to report anything wrong to the chief Inspector, Do you consider It ssfe to nro shots therer eabed Mr. Pisco.

To the coroner witness stated that but a small cave would be sufficient to break the lamp. At this point the morning session concluded. - Before submitting to cross-examination witness pointed out that the explosion was primarily a gas explosion. Dust played but a small part. He then presented to the jury a barometer reading, which be had taken Jn tlie mine after tbe explosion. These four readings showed an average of 88 per cent, ot saturation, showing that the mine as a whole was a wet one. In response to a Juror, witness stated that the Wolfe safety lamp, such as was used by the deceased miners, was the best and safest style of lamp In use today. There was no lamp, with the exception, perhaps, of some of our electrlo ones, whioh would not Ignlto gas. Government Inquiry. "Will thore be a Government Inquiry after this?" was tbe abrupt query of Mr. Foster, But bofore tbo witness could answer both Coroner Jeffs and Mr. Yarwood objected to toe qeusUon, which wont unanswered, . "Would not tho working of two shifts Instead ot three In this mine make conditions safer?" asked Mr. Poster. , "That would depend," answered tho witness, "on tho character of the mine snd the ventilation. Personally, I would work no mine, except In development work, the full 24 hours." (Reserve Mine Is in course of develop ment.) - Mr. 4sbwortb then cross-examined the witness at length ln sn effort to ahow that the primary and not the se* condsry explosion took place In the slope. Witness held that there woro many freaks of nature and strange vagaries lii connection with ooal mine explosions which eould not be accounted for when asked why one man was burned more than another when not so near the point of Ignition.

Dear Sir,—At a recent meeting of the Local Committee of the Canadian Patriotic Fund, It was suggested that a service could be rendered to the dependants of some of the soldiers who havo left for thu front, if you could "arrange to draw attention to the necessity for meeting premiums due on life policies held by such*soldiers. It was thought that ihe following would answer the purpose: Attention has been directed to the .fact that many men who enlist nre policy holders In life Insurance companies and, owing to enlistment, a tew neglect to pay their premiums until they are overdue, and the 30 da*-*' grace 1'us expired. A few compiinles ure only too glad to be rid of "war risks" end once tho days of grac? havo expired tt Is sometimes quite impossible to persuade such companies to re-instate the policy holder. It Is, therefore necessary that the wives of soldiers should meet Insurance premiums as they" fall due. Your* very truly, WM. WALKER, Secretly. THE LIQUOR QUESTION To the Bditor, District Ledger. Doar Sir,—Under the above caption in* last week's issue of the District Ledger there appeared what we consider one of the fairest and most un* biased expositions of tho Liquor Question that has yet appeared In the public press. Por, although the pros and cons ot the question aro being discussed In almost every paper circulating In tbe west, yet most of the stuff appearing for or against is purely advertising matter, while the articles appearing aro mostly "written to order.1' The writer certainly touches the Owing to the character of threats alleged to have been uttered by Germans or Austrians, a number of citizens of ISritlsh nationality felt that their safety was menaced if they continued to work with these alien enemies. A committee was appointed and after a conference with Manager Drinnau and other officials of Die Hlllcrest Mines Coal Co., it was decided by the management that no "alien enemies" should be allowed to work until these charges had been investigated, and the truth or falsity determined. A com- jnittee also of the Austrians and Germans was formed who waited upon the liritish speaking citizens committee and asked for information touching the alleged charges. After niaking enquiries regarding certain utterances it was discovered that they were not of the highly Inflammable tone which had boen ascribed to them. The citizen's committee of British stock upon calling upon the management were asked whether they thought thc charge made was a correct one or not, and replied that they were satisfied they had been inaccurately reported.

"Why does the Stale impose obligations upon the parents which thej" eannot adequately fulfil and leave the deficit to chance ? 4, AY hat explanation (vot what excuse) liave you to offer why two children bom the same day with practically like mental qualifications, have not tin equality of opportunity to receive the same educational facilities? There arc ti numbor of pertinent questions we illicit propound upon this subject, but offer the above four as simple thought starters. , To suggest that one study Socialism is too broad i. generalization for the ordinary individual with hide-bound prejudices at the start off, hence our reason for formulating the foregoing queries which, being put in more tangible shape, may receive more consideration than if we advised a study of Social- imii and left it at that. A WORD ON BEHALF OF THE INTERNS "EQUALITY" AND "EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY One of the many erroneous charges niade againM the Socialist by opponents is that they believe -ix making all men and women equal, and then undertake to show the absurdity of the attempt. The trouble with this class of objectors is they first build up an argument upon false premises and then, in their conceit, having pointed out the fallacies, reach the conclusion the opponent should consider himself incontinently and completely squelched. The opponent, if a Socialist, does nothing of the soit. l;:t culls the attention of the objector'to the Misrepresentation he makes, and says, ''Your objections would be all right if your first statement were correct. Imt it isn't." It is not "equality" that the Socialist believes in bul is fi»hting thut all men and women should have an equably of opportunity. i'lobably the non-Socialist if lie has not made a study of the subject, will be unable to see wherein the difference lies. For the sake of all such we will try lo make it so clear that even those of limited education may be able to grasp the difference. Bnt first let us staL-o why we know there can tie no such a thing as equality amongst mankind. Some are born lartre. some small, some are born weak physically, others with powerful constitutions; some are mentally alert, others, wo fully deficient in perception : some have a natural aptitude for music, whilst othors have none but possesses exceptional meehani- \\fidti Package Those Flies are dangerous as well as troublesome.

Socialist included, and still this old bugaboo is trotted out from time to time by those who, in trotting them out display their ignorance- Xow then for "the equality of opportunity." Wo feel .safe iu snying that with but very few exceptions everybody believes that every child is entitled to an education. Strange as it may seem, but even within our brief lifetime, this was strongly op. posed. However, let that pass. Today the opposi- tion to education is practically nil. Wc often hear boasts made about the glories and benefits of our educational institutions, open to everyone. This is only correet in part, and not 'wholly so. The children nt the vast majority of the members of the working elass do not have the sn me opportunity as those whose parents possess a little mrtre of this world's goods. Statistics without number eould be furnished to back up the above assertion, hut we do not think il necessary to tjiinte more than one, as that one h neither very much better nor very much worse than the average of any eity on Ihis continent,'nml y«-t ••oii^i.lcriiiK the fact that it is the home of many wats of learning it should l»e somewhat better than the average.

No state ean exist except on the basis of a recognition, of a full recognition, of that duty on the part of every man and every woman in the land,"—Lloyd George, Manchester speech, June 3rd. The occasion for this utterance was the plea for more munitions with which to prosecute the war. We do not propose to confute the statement, but believe it would be more fully amplified, by the introduction of the adjective ''capitalistic" hetween "N'o" aud "State." The "State" with the qualifying adjective, not expressed but understood, has existed without the recognition of the duty of every man and eyery woman. In times of pence, when poverty, nnt Prussianism. menaces lhe well-being of millions, the recognition of every man's nnd ijvery woman's responsibilities one to another have been complacently ignored anil made subordinate to another "!'"—Profit- This classic utterance mny serve n.s a landmark when the wiw is over nnd dispute*) hetween employers nnd employees nre in the limelight, nnd the clnmors of the poverty-stricken multitudes are heard throughout the Innd.
