INCREASE IN
COAL APPROPRIATIONS
They Are Double Since Removal of
Import Duty.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE
States during the first nine months of
the present calendar year have amount
ed to 2.6>7,0N1 tons. against 1.546,112
tons in the corresponding months of
the preceding year an increase of
1,140.969 tons The rebate Of duty on
coal authorized by congress in Janu-
airy, 1903 went into operation January
IA. so that the figures for the nine
months of 1903 represent the importa-
ton of coal free of duty during CORE
spending periods of the preceding year
in which the importations of bitumin-
Gus coal We're dutiable. The figures
here quoted, as presented by the de-
partment of commerce and labor
through its bureau of statistics, in
clude both bituminOus and anthracite
coal. but as the total imports of an
thracite in the nine months of 1903
amounted to but 137,24S tons, the chief
increase is in bituminouS. This in
crease of 1,140.000 tons is chiefly in
coal from the United Kingdom, from
which the imports of bituminous coal
during the nine months ending with
September, 1903. amounted to 1.1O5,-
951 tons against 1928 in the CORE
spending nine months of 1902. From
Canada, which the bureau of statistics
designates as british North America"
the total imports of bituminous coal
MI nc
TENDER, 1908. were 1225.294 tons
against 1,195.S69 tons in the CORE
spending months of the preceding
year, an increase of but 29.423 tons
from Canada. From other countries
the imports are Of course extremely
small. the largest item aside from the
United Kingdom and Canada being
Japan, from which 50,7S4 tons were i'm
ported in the nine months of 1903,
against SIG in the correspondents
months of 1902. and other Asia and
Oceanica" 303,626 against 259.951 in the
corresponding months of 1902. Thus
nearly all of the increase in the i'm
portations Of coal in the present year
under the rebate of duty authorized in
January has been from the United
Kingdom, while the total increase. as
already indicated, amounted to 1,14O.-
969 tons
Meantime the expectation of coal
has increased more than the importa-
ton. The total coal exported from the
United States in the nine months end
ing with September. 1903, amounted
10 6'S14,lS9 tons against 4,72O,33o tons
IN the corresponding months of last
year. an increase of 1,693.s59 tons.
The foreign commerce of the I-ni+ad
states IN coal, whether of imports or
exports Is extremely small compared
with the domestic production, in which

TI2ASHED AND TAKEN TO JAIL
Caught In the Act of Insulting Children
BY the Father of One of Girls.

SEATTLE-Charles Neverall, man
who has been insulting school children
in the neighborhOod of Colombia street
and Thirty second avenue, was caught
in the act Tuesday by c. B. Yandell.
who thereupon proceeded to give the
man such a thrashing as he probably
never before received in his life.
After he had been beaten till Yam
dell was tired. he promised to go along
peaceably to the police station if his
captor would let him UP. He said so,
and the man Immediately started to
run. Yandel caught him again, after
first falling headIong over a log and
tearing his own clothes, and then
whipped him again until the man was
a sight. NeveraIl attempted to put up
the best fight he had in him. but Yam
dell never got a scratch. His evident
heat and feeling in the matter was due
10 the fact that his two little daugh-
ters have come home two or three
times recently frightened half to death
by the actions of the man, and it was
While NeVerall was insulting one of
them Tuesday that he caught him.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Yandell sent
his children to school and followed
half a block behind. They were in
structed that if they saw the man
again they were to motion to their
father.
At Thirty second and Colombia
street the lots on one side of the street
are covered with brush, and as the
children reached the point the man
stepped out and attempted to again
offer them insult. One of the girls
turned around and beckoned to Mr.
Yandell and he ran after the fellow.
After Yandell caught him he said
he was picking berries and offered ref
erenceS as to his character. However,
the evidences of his guilt We're present
and Yandell, after being cursed by the
fellow, gave him his first drubbing.
After he had escaped, been recaptured
and beaten again he was taken to a
tool house, where Yandell and another
man who came to his assistance, lock-
ed him up until the arrival of Detec-
tive Freeman, who placed him under
arrest and brouhgt him to headquar-
ters.
Neverall gave his age as As. He had
$50 in his pocket and was we'll dressed
Several of the children who have
been accosted by the man identify
him.

WITHOUT MONEY FOR THE YEAR

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 5.-Un1ess a
special session of the Oregon legisla-
ture is held to legalize the January tax
levy, the city of Portland and Multo-
nomah county will be without finances
for the ensuing year.
without the January tax levy, the
city government cannot exist, and it
must go to pieces" said Mayor VIII
liams. The charter of the city Of
Portland makes it illegal for the city
to go in debt. The coin must be in
the treasury. City councilmen who
would vote to contract debt would,
under existing law, be guilty of mall
feasance in office. There will be
about $4,000 with which to run the
city government after January 1, next.
This amount is only d drop in the
bucket and would last only two
MONTHS
Multnomah county is already thir-
teen months behind in it's warrants,
and the debt would increase at the
rate of $4,000 a month unless the jan
uary tax levy should be collected
II. S. Allen, clerk of the city school
board, says his department would be
run in debt between $500, 900 and $780,
600 without the levy. The county and
the school district could tide over the
difficulty by issuing warrants and
bonds. but the expense entailed would
| be great Among the members of the
Multnomah delegation in the legisla-
ture it is taken for granted that Gov
Chamberlain will call a special session
to remedy the defect in the tax law
passed last winter. Despite the gov
ernor's known reluctance to convene
the Legislature, the opinion is that the
/ need of Legislative action is too great
/ to be ignored, and that the fact will be
recognized by the governor.

WHY MOTHERS
WORRY

Did you ever hear a mother
worry over a plump child !?
There is no better bank of
health for a child to draw
from than a good supply of
healthy flesh.
SCOTS Emulsion not only
gives a child weight and
plumpness, but it feeds the
brain, bones and nerves with
strength and active power.
Fewer mothers would
worry if they knew more
about SCOTS Emulsion.
SCOTS Emulsion is substi-
tuted by cheap emulsions and
so-called wines, cordials and
extracts of cod-liver oil.
They can do you no good
and are dear at any price.
Why buy them? SCOTS
Emulsion has been the one
reliable preparation of cod
liver oil for nearly thirty years.

A Manly Statement in Which the
True Sportsman Confesses His
Disappointment and Praises
the Americans.

Sir Thomas Upton. the owner Of
the Yacht, Shamrock III, which is
trying to win the cup now held by
the New York Yacht Club gives up
the fight. The Reliance, the cup
defender, has won two races out Of
the five and would have won the third
one last Wednesday had it not been
calm, which made the race a draw.
The Reliance was far in the Lead
when the race was called of.
Sir Thomas Lipton, aboard the
Erin, declared Friday in an interview
that he would never challenge again
for the Americans cup until man
had been found in England who
equalled Nat Herreshoff in yacht
building. The baronet admitted his
Disappointment at his failure and.
frankly said that he had no hope OF
winning even single race. He said:
American brains and development
have us beaten. If the day ever
comes when England produces Her
reshoff, then l will challenge for the
cup again. 1t will not be until then.
1t is unpleasant to be compelled to:
admit it, but the brains in boat build
ing are on this side Of the water.
Herreshoff is a wizard. His work is
wonderful: none can have admired Re-
lance more than I have. She is the.
best boat By all odds and has won on
strict merit. ~

want to win on any slips and
gretted Reliance'S failure to get over
the line as much as any one could. "
Sir Thomas was asked why it, was
that Shamrock III was not given
more sail area. He replied that he
trusted everything regarding con-
struction and design to the best Of
England's talent. He complimented
Capt. Barr, and said that he had 10
fault to find with the way in which
Shamrock had been handled.
Il hope" be said, that we will get
a 25.knot breeze and heavy sea to-
morrow. Then we will have had all
the chances on the calendar to try out
Shamrock's qualities" The baronet
praises the hospitality and generosity
of Americans and expressed the belief
that many Of them wanted to see him
take the cup. "They would push
Shamrock over the line ahead if they
could I believe"

lion uf this state. We feel that YOU
have done all you can to bring the
guilty parties to justice But, Cover
uer Hayward. we as American citi-
zens and tax payers know that we
cannot get justice under the present

we know that you are powerlesS to en-
force the law. We as colored people
ask you to sign this petition asking

Strange to say, he was about the
