of the reserve banks of the eastern
cities have less than the lawful
money reserve in bank, and he has
notified them to increase their cash
holdings at once. 1t is another evil
dence that the New York and east

DEFIED HIS FATHERS WILL.
Harry Bradley, of Columbus, Ind, SOugh
Redress In Court and Won 100000
from His Sisters.

Columbus, Ind, Sept. 3O.-One year
ago James H. Bradley, of Indianap-
oils, died a millionaire, leaving large
land and property interests. He left
a will giving his son Harry, of this
city, small competence during life
and leaving his family penniless at
his death, his part then to revert to
his three sisters. The will provided,
too, like the will of Stratton, the
Colorado miner, that any legatee
bringing suit to set aside forfeited
his rights under the terms of the will
if it was not broken, but Harry
Bradley, the sighted child and heir
of this city, took chances and
brought suit to break the will and
get his share. The case has just
been compromised by the three sis
tiers paying Harry 100000.

MAY SEIZE THE MINES.
Shortage OF Anthracite Coal the Nation
al Capital Menaces Public Fuss ness-Au
Departments Are Invoked.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-Matters are
very rapidly approaching crisis in
the coal situation in Washington,
not only with the private consumers,
but with the government. But little
attention was paid few week.; ago,
when Representatives of the differ
ent departments began complaining
that there was not enough fuel in
sight to keep the buildings lighted
and heated for more than a few
weeks.
If there is no fresh supply of coal
before the time for the meeting OF
congress, the legislative body may
not-be able to hold its sessions. The
capitol depends upon electricity for
illumination. a lighting plant being
established in the building. Tt re-
quires 10 or IL tons of coal a day to
run this plant. The senate con-
sumes about 1000 tons a year, and
the house of Representatives a great
er quantity. At this time there is
less than 100 tons in the building.
This is being consumed rapidly. The
embarrassment of the government
through the shortage of fuel may,
it is said. precipitate the question
of the seizure of the mines.

TO FEED THE WORLD
United States Will Produce 2,5oo,-
900, 900 Bushels Corn This Year.
Enough to Supply che Needs of All Peo-
pies for Two Years, Even Should
There Be Total Fail
ure In 1908

Washington, Sept. 3O.-Experts of
the department of agriculture have
been busy making calculations upon
the addition to the wealth of the
nation that is to be added by the
harvesting of the corn crop of the
present year. There is no longer
any danger from frost. The work
of gathering the early crop has been
commenced in some sections, and
the estimates on the years produc-
ton can now be made almost to the
busheI. These estimates show that
the record in the history of cereal
productions is about to be broken.
Figures are available now to show
the crop for the present year will
exceed 2,5O0,O0O,OO0 bushels, enough
to supply the needs of the world for
this year and next, even should there
be a total crop failure in 1908.
In 1900 the United States raised
2,Oo0,O0O,OO0 bushels of corn; in 1901,
1,5Oo,O00,O00 bushels. In 1896 the crop
was near to the present bumper
yield, making 2,2S6, 100000 bushels.
Last year, because of the scarcity,
corn sold at excessive prices. In
Kansas the farmers obtained 90 cents
bushel for the crop. The average
price was 60 cents. The whole crop
sold for 1929, $3.50, 76s. In 1899, when
the crop was twice as large, the
price obtained by the farmers was
$629, 21011O. The value of the corn
crops last year was SO an acre, while
in 1856, the greatest corn year prior
to this one, Sc was the average. price
obtained by the farmers. In 1889 corn
sold in some parts of the United
States for 10 cents a bushel, the low
est price ever known. The corn crops
of the United States are worth from
$GOO,OOO coo to $9OO,OOO,OO0 every year.
The exports average from $17a,OOO,-
600 to $2OO,OOO,OoO annually, or one
tenth of the yield. Only % per cent.
of the corn raised is exported from
the states where it is grown. Some
states never raise enough corn to sup
ply the home needs. The middle west
states are the principal corn produc-
ers. Illinois is the principal exporter.

THE NUMBER INCREASES.
Serious Problem Confronts Uncle Sam in

Very Objectionable Glasses.

Washington, Sept. 29.-The forth
coming report of the commissioner
general Of immigration will show
that two classes of immigrants de-

law arrived here during the past
year in increasing numbers. One
class is those afflicted with conta
gious and other diseases. The other
was composed of dissolute women
imported for immoral purposes.
With the first class the officials have
little trouble. Their Affections are
easily discovered, but the government
is necessarily put to some expense
in OBTAINING them until deported.
