EVOLUTION OF COAL CONSUME
81. ..... . TON. .r .-.. .. ..l

Anthracite coal, which all of lis are
so anxious to get, was less than a cen
fury ago, when efforts were first made
to market it, denounced as a fraud.
The people in those days said it would
be impossible to burn such "stone."
In 1871 the Lehigh Coal Co. vainly
tried to sell the new found frlel in
Philadelphia, but the people would
not have it and all attempts to burn
it satisfactorily proved futile. The
secret how to burn it was discovered
in 1916. Repeated attempts to burn
it in furnaces were made and the
workmen were kept hard at work rak-
ing and raking it. The men gave up
the experiment with disgust, filled one
OF the furnaces with the worthless
black stones" and left it laughing.
Returning some hours afterwards they
were amazed to find a fierce fire with
terrific heat. The problem was
solved. To overcome the prejudice
the coal was advertised by means of
handbills. containing recommendations

GOOD TIMES CAUSE POLITICAL
APATHY.

Valley City Times-Record: General
apathy seems to prevail in political
affairs throughout the state, with the
exception of a few localities, where
factional strife serve to keep matters
stirred up. This apathetic condition
may not be especially reassuring to
candidates, who do not understand why
their friends fail to enthuse, but there
does not seem to be any good reason
to view such a state of affairs with
alarm. People are too busy and too
prosperous to talk politics or get ex-
cited about the result of the election.
They have their own affairs to attend
to; nearly everybody is making
money; and the calamity bowler who
was SO prominent on the street cor
ners a few years ago has lost his vo-
cation and become a socialist. Re-
publicans are satisfied with present
conditions and can point with pride to
predictions that have been fulfilled.
They belong to the party which is
largely responsible for the good times
which the people are enjoying, and
they can and should show their appre-
citation, by getting out when the proper
time comes and putting in a straight
republican ticket. There isn't any
one nowadays who really wants a
change from present conditions. A
democratic victory would be a calam.
ity. 1t would Indicate that people
were dissatisfied and wanted a change
There should be no uncertainty about
the result of the election. Their,
should be no apathy on election da,
amongst republicans. If they wan
prosperity to continue they must ger
out and vote.

HARD DAY FOR SMITH
Senate Again Discusses the
 Samar Incident.
SENATOR TELLER SCORES GENERAL.
House Passes the Omnibus Building Bill Appropriating $17 ,405,45O. No Opportunity For an
 Amendment.

z WASHINGTON, April BOA spirit ed discussion of the Philippine situa- ton occurred in the senate yesterday. It reyolved around the order alleged to have been issued by General Jacob H. Smith to make the island of Samar a bowling wilderness and to kill all finale inhabitants over the age of t n years. The debate took wide range, however, and many other points were discussed.
 When the Philippine bill was laid before the senate, no one was pre- pared to deliver a set speech on it. MT. Lodge (Mass.), in charge Of the measure, said he felt compelled to press it for consideration. His remarks drew the fire of MT. Teller (Colo.), who criticised the Republicans for not par ticipating in the discussion. This pre- cipitated the debate, and for more than two hours it continued. MT. Teller de- clared that General Smith, if he issued such an order as had been attributed to him, ought to be dismissed from the service, as it was a disgrace to the American army and to the American people.
 MT. Lodge said that, while he knew little of the circumstances surrounding the alleged order, he did not approve of cruel methods in warfare, and every right minded person must regret Gen eral Smiths order. To him it was re- volting. He defended the administra- ton, however, saying as soon as knowl- edge of the order had come to Wash f0H O General Smith be court martialed.
 Under a special order which allowed three hours for debate, but which cut off all opportunity of amendment the house passed an omnibus public build ing bill which will distribute ST ,405,- 45O among 174 cities. As the bill GOV CTS into the treasury $1. .585, ,000, the to- tai amount carried by the bill is re- duced to that extent. The bill provides for seventy-seven new buildings and sites, six buildings on sites already purchased, seventeen buildings on do- mated sites and fifty-eight increases in appropriations for buildings already . authorized. It also provides for the purchase Of sixteen sites.
 The majority for the bill was so overwhelming that only nine members backed a demand for the yeas and nays on the passage of the bill. There was some criticism of the method by which it was proposed to pass the bill without opportunity for amendment, which Mr. Mercer, chairman of the committee, answered by stating that if the bill had been subject to amend ment the appropriations carried by it would have been increased to $60,000,- O0O.
 The consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill was resumed, but pnly few pages were disposed ofs

WHEELING, w. Va, April 30.-It is now practically certain that President Theodore Shaffer is the big man of the Amalgamated association. The con- vention, with few dissenting voices, has indorsed in toto his annual re- port The committee on presidents and other officers reports reported favorably on the statements intrusted to it, and it's recommendations were ratified by the convention. The most important of the reports was that of MT. Shaffer. In many respects it was the most interesting document ever issued by an Amalgamated pres ident. It gave the history of the strike and his explanation of every one of his many acts which aroused criticism during the momentous struggle. The president based his hopes upon his report, and it proved that he judged wisely The action of the convention is a vindication of his entire course. It is not likely now that there will be much opposition to Mir. Shaffer's re- election.

STEAMSHIP CAPTAIN DEAD.
AIbers of the Deutschland Falls on
 ShipbOard.


 BERLIN, April 30.-Captain A. Al bers of the Hamburg-American steam CT Deutschland fell dead of heart fail ure in the charthouse of his vessel as she was approaching the port of Cux- haven. He expired in the arms of his first officer, who caught him as he fell. The long hours spent by Captain Al bers on the bridge of the vessel after the loss of her rudder at sea, which oc- cured before the Deutschland reached Plymouth and during the passage of the North sea, probably hastened the captains collapse.
 As the senior captain of the Ham burg American Steam Packet compa- ny Captain Albers expected to retire after a few more trips. Emperor Will liam has sent telegram to the Ham, burg-American company, in which he expresses his sorrow at the loss of So excellent and capable an officer, who brought my brother from the United States The steering of the rudderless Deutschland with her screws on her last .homeward trip was a master stroke of seamanship.
