(Special to The Times.) Washington, Dec. 9. Representa tive Uoughton conferred with Chief if the Weather Bureau Moore today . .. . . on nnai arranfiements for the es- tablishment of a station, in the North Carolina mountains, to make tests ot the effects of climate on the fruit growing industry at various al- titudes. I utlnnn will lio-"-aetglYlluhorf n the Charles A. Webb farm at Ashe- vilie; W. T. Lindsay farm at Tryon; W. Hull farm at Waynesville; Mrs. Aaron Cone's farm at Blowing Uock, and the J. B. Sparger farm at Mt. Airy. : Stations will be estab- ished at ; two other points not yet selected. They will afford tests of the thermal belts ia the mountains at altitudes varying from 1,000 to 4,200 feet. Thermographs will be installed at the stations1 to . make possible accurate data. Chief Moore informed Representa tive Doughton in a recent letter that the stations in North Carolina, which will be the first established1 by the Weather Bureau, will be a criterion of altitude s effects on fruit growing in all parts of the United States. Their importance Is Indi cated by the permanent absence of frost from sorao slopes, and the re markable differences of temperatures In localities seemingly of the same environment except as to position relatve to mountains. The stations will be established at once. Funds to provide the neces sary Instruments and pay the ob- servers, who' will be the owners of 'he on which the stations are established, have already been set asiae rroni -tne weatner uureau ap- propriation.

Knoxvllle, Tenn., Dec. .9 A dust explosion imprisonod two hundred men in Hie coal mine of the Knox ville Iron Company, at BricevlUe, thirty-four miles north of here this morning at seven-thirty o'clock. The explosion was two miles from the mine entrance. The federal mine rescue crew has been summoned. It; is not yet posible to ascertain the number killed. It is feared the loss of life will be heavy. Rescue preparations were begun. By ten o clock several gangs . of miners had gone into the main cross mountain mine by three entrances. None of the rescue parties, have yet reported. As the news spread about Bnceviile district throngs of women and children rushed to tho mine entrances clamoring to go in side to aid in the rescue. .
