PLENTY. PEAT HERE
S. S. Cook Believes It Can Be as Sue
cessfully Compressed as the
Wisconsin Article. :
He Has Tried the Whitewater Bri-
quotes and Finds Them
Equal to Coal. ::

The East Side peat beds may yet be re-
lied upon to offset any possible scarcity of
coal in Minneapolis this winter. In fact,
peat may prove most useful under any
conditions, for experimenters at White
water, Wis, believe they have discovered
how to convert 1t into a satisfactory sub
stitute for anthracite.
S. S. Cook, of the Minnesota Loan &
Trust company. has visited the Whitewa-
ter factory, and is now using peat at his
residence in place of coal. The process Of
treating the raw material. is simple
enough. When taken from the beds, the
peat is placed in. an ordinary clay dryer
thirty feet long and five feet wide, with a
furnace beneath. 1t is carried by worm
through the ,drier into a steel cylinder
where it is pulverized by a crusher and is
then carried through chute into ma
chine where it is pounded through a steel
collar by a piston which strikes crunch
ing blow, destroying the fibers which usu-
ally hasten the disintegratien of peat and
render it unfit for fuel purposes. At the
same time sufficient heat is applied to
soften the pitch in the peat enough to
bind it and permit it's being pressed into
compact chunks closely resembling hard
coal.
1.-THE finished article said Mr.. Cook,
lis now being manufa ctured by stock
company at Whitewater, where expert
ments have been going on for three years.
1t is being turned out at the rate Of 80
tons a day and is retailed at 81 so a ton.
1t would cost about 81 ton if shipped to
Minneapolis as the freight charges would
be 81. 80 per ton. I have found it an ex-
cellent substitute for coal. A hod in my
fire place will burn three hours. 1t gives
out, much more heat than coal and burns
to fine white ASH there being an entire
absence of clinkers. The Whitewater
people claim it can be produced for So a
ton., = - i - ,
II see no. reason why the peat around
Minneapolis could not be utilized the same
way. 1t would hardly pay to have it
shipped here. It must be used where it
| is manufactured. Peat beds throughout
the country could at least furnish enough
| fuel for local consumption. I believe it

NOT WILLING TO STUDY
American Women Have Fine Voices But

Sembrich.

Nine. Marcella. sembrich, the famous
prima donna who is to sing at Plymouth
church Saturday evening, Nov. l, re-
ceives many requests from singers and
singing teachers for advice and other
things which take time and are therefore
quite impossible to give Some of those
who are brought to her by friends have
the privilege Of singing before the famous
prima donna and of getting her advice
and suggestions. This has given her a
fairly clear idea Of the qualities of Ameri-

she said, the other day, were remarkably
fine in quality. They were all of kind
that made me realize how blessed the
wome nof this country are with beautiful
voices: I noticed, however, that most of
them were inclined to do very little study,
as compared with the amount necessary
to make any woman great singer. Most
Of them think that a month or year OF
work will prepare them for career to last
for years. How much more. time and
labor are needed they will discover after
while. My experience has been that
they want to learn in a few months what
really requires several years. No woman
in the world ever had a voice beautiful
enough to compensate for a lack of suffi-
cient study. She might be able to get
along without it for a while, although
she would never be an artist then. But in
a short time she would show the want OF
proper preparation in a way that would
soon bring her career to Close

WATSON'S AMERICANS AT THE
DEWEY

Watson's American burlesquers are at
the Dewey this week, and the organization
is q, remarkable one; remarkable not 50
much for the pulchritude of its members
or their ability as comedians or singers,
but truly astounding for its avoirdupois.
There are several girls in the chorus who
need never lack employment so long as
Mrs. Horner remains in business at Wash
ington and First avenues S; and the
sprightliest chorus maiden Of them all
will easily score up fifteen stone, as she
drops her nickle in the slot, listens to
the band play, and secures a forecast Of
the future all at the same time. Merry
maidens these, for they have evidently
laughed much and have waxed fat in con-
sequence.
However, the blithe choristers@ did a
good stroke Of business when they joined
forces with Watson, for they need laugh
no longer. The burlesques in which they
display their poderosity are, in fact,
lachrymose rather than jocund and before
the season is ended it may be that their
all too solid flesh will have passed away
from absence Of merriment to feed upon.
Truly it's a contamination devoutly to be
wished.
So far as the burlesque part Of the pro-
gram Is concerned Watsons show Is about
as joyful as an undertaken, as jolly as
the "cold, gray dawn Of the morning
dIIeI, UuL tIe ONO IS really not so bad,

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS
Discussed at Open Meeting of West:
minister Club.

Mrs. Mildred Barnard, Mrs. Louise
Keyes and Superintendent Of Police E.. f.
Waite were speakers on the program or
the opening meeting Of Westminster club,
held at the home of the president, Milo
G. Phillips, 1902 Nicollet avenue, last ev-
ening. Rev. DR.: A; W: Halsey of New
York city, one of the secretaries Of the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions,
was a guest and gave an estimate OF
Mayor Low and his progress In municipal
betterment.
Mrs Barnard and Mrs. Keyes presented
the work Of the municipal Improvement
league, Mrs. Keyes speaking espe cially OF
the playground feature. A plea Is made
for the interest of those present in the fu-
ture of the league and in efforts to re-
move a financial deficiency now inter-
fering with this interesting and helpful
work.
Mr.. Waite spoke Of "Helps and Hind
RANGES Of City Government" Only. at the
close of his talk did he mention especially
the work under his charge. He said the
area Of the city was one Of the hindrances
in the way Of effective police work. The
absorption Of the more intelligent citi-
zens in their business and professional
affairs. prevented them from taking part
in municipal affairs and was another hin
drance to good government. 49,
DR.. Halsey believed that if New York
had Superintendent Waite all would be as
it should. He believed that Mayor Low was
all right in his policy except in the ap-
pointment of superintendent of police

'IWASWORlHWHILE.
A. E. Zonne So Reports on the Re-,
cent Coal Strike Conference
= Held at Detroit. .,
He Thinks the Gathering Will Ae-
centuate the Necessity Of Pre-
venting Such Complications.

While the Detroit conference may have
had no effect upon the coal strike situa-
ton, "A. e. Zonne, of Conklin. & @ZOnne,
Temple Court who attended as a delegate
from Minneapolis, says the meeting was
not wholly in vain. .'i".
Without any tangible results in the
way of bringing the bitter struggle to an
end, Mr.. Zonne regards the conference as
of great value in impressing upon the
country at large the urgent necessity OF
preventing such complications lin, the fu-
ture. 1t was a striking evidence of the
deep interest being taken in the strike
throughout the country and of the will
lingness of men of prominence to journey
great distances at personal sacrifice for
the general good. The $50 delegates
present represented about every city OF
importance in the country.
THE conference actually accomplished
about all that was intended at its incep-
tion.' said Mr.. Tonne. 1T brought to-
sether from all over the land serious
minded men who are vitality interested for
| business and other reasons in the speedy
settlement of the strike, now that winter
is so near at hand. 1t was prompted
largely by humanitarian impulses, moved
to action by contemplation Of the awful
suffering of the poor in our great cities in
case of a fuel famine. 1t showed how
closely the different parts Of this vast
country are knitted together, a1tef all,
and demonstrat ted the possibility of CONF
binations for other purposes than those
Of commerce when the public good de-
mands it.
There were few radicals at the confer
ence, even among the labor delegates.
They were mostly men who hesitate a long
time before urging governmental inter-
ference with private property rights. The
resolutions recommending government
control of the mines were prompted by
like considerations which Influenced Lin
coin to free the slaves. Only, in this case
the immediate enforced production of coal
seemed of even more crying. importance
than the abolition of slavery. Yet Lincoln
had no more authority under the consti-
tuition to free the slaves than Roosevelt
would have to seize the mines. The slaves
were vested interests and were so recog-
nized by the law, just as the coal mines
are.
1T was felt that the coal barons had
gone a step too far in refusing to recog-
| nize the right Of the federal government
to Interfere except In their behalf. We
agreed that if there was any one thing
that the American people would not toler-
ate it was open insult to the President OF
the United States. 1t was the general
sentiment Of the conference that the 1nso-
| lent attitude of some Of the operators in
| contending for the divine right of coal
| operators, in spirit entirely out OF
| keeping with our free institutions, was
enough to forfeit whatever public sympa-
| thy the coal operators might have re-
| ooi1,ed
