COAL COMPANIES
NOT RECALCITRANT I
Director North Denies Report OF
Their Refusing information.

The attention of the Director of the
Census having been called to the state
ment published recently to the effect
that the anthracite coal companies OF
Pennsylvania have declined to supply
the Census Office with the statistical
information regarding the operation of
the mines under their control which the
Census Office is now collecting in ac-
cordance with the provisions of section
of the act to establish the perma-
nent Census ONCE, and are preparing to
test the constitutionality of the census
law requiring them to supply this infor-
nation. and incidentally of the law es-
tablishfng the Bureau of Corporations
in the Department of Commerce and
Labor, he has authorized the following
statement:
The Census Office is aware of no such
purpose on the part OF the anthracite
coal companies, and has no reason TO
believe that it exists. On the contrary,
1t has received complete and satisfac-
tory reports for its mining statistics
from large number of the coal mining
companies of Pennsylvania, including
many of the principal companies While
some time has elapsed since the census
schedules were sent out, and while
there is apparently some delay on the
part of other companies in supplying
the required information, the Census
Office has no reason to believe that any
of these delinQuents will refuse to I'LL
a schedule. and has not yet pressed
them for a report"

NO DECISION REACHED
AS TO NEW BUILDING

B. T. Galloway. chief OF the Bureau OF
Plant Industry. who is chairman of the
committee having in charge the con-
struction of new building for the Ag-
riculturaI Department. said yesterday
that absolutely nothing has been de-
cided upon in reference to the size or
the appearance of the building. Ran
kin, Kellogg & Crane. of Philadelphia.
have been awarded the contract by Sec
retary Wilson for preparing the plans.
which are to call for building costing
81. 500. .OOO
The first step of the architects viii be
to plot on the ground around the pres
ent site OF the department in order TO
determine the most suitable location for
the building. There was a great deal
of talk at one time of erecting the new
structure on the space in front os the
present one, but il is said there is not
much prospect of adopting that course,
as il would break the handsome line OF
buildings on the Mall.
So far il is not even known whether
the building will be of stone, brick, or
iron, or whether ii will be long and low
or high and imposing, but the general
preference is for a low building OF mas
sive appearance. in keeping with the
style of the other departments.

The Case of Mate DinkeIla.
or the cases pardoned for murder, one
was that of William DinkelIa. who was
convicted April 8, 1880. before the
United States consul at Osaka and
Hiogo, Japan, Of the murder of Charles
r. Abbott, the first mate of the Amer
lean ship Centennial, in the harbor OF

years, two years in Japan and then in
the Albany county penitentlary in this
country. He was also IN the United

Citations. and ffty-two comp meeting as
sociations. II is estimated that there
are 10000 bona fde members of these
associations, and the total number of
Spiritualists in the United States and
Canada is said 10 be more than 500, ,000
Among these there are $50 ministers,
lecturers. and platform mediums. 1.500
psychics before the public. and more than

Next Convention in St. Louis.
The last convention of the national
association was held in Boston, and it is
thought that the convention IN 1904 Will
meet in St Louis. There are a large
number OF spiritualists IN the West. and
especially in st. Louis. This. added TO
the fact that the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Will be open at that time,
will probably cause the selection Of ST.
Louis for the 1904 convention.
Here In Washington there are three
Spiritualist societies which are con-
nected with the National Association
the First Association of Spiritualists.
the Educational Spiritualist Society, and
the Theo- Progressive Society of Spirit
ualists. The number of SpiritualIsts In
the District mounts we'll into the thou
sands. although there are many who are
not actively connected with the Spirit
ualist societies. The growth OF spirit
ualism in Washington is aided material
ly by the fact that the headquarters Of
the National Association is located here.
The officers of the National Association
are: II. d. Barrett, Boston. president;
Hon. T. NJ. Locke, Philadelphia, vice
president; Mrs. Mary T. Langley. Wash
ington, secretary; Theodore J. Mayer.
Washington. treasurer.

Executive Clemency Exer-
cised in 134 Cases Out of
a Total of 265 Submitted
to Mr.. Roosevelt.
DECREASE FROM LAST YEAR
Present Occupant OF the
White House Is Not SO
Lenient With Federal Pris-
Oners as His Predecessor.

President Roosevelt has exercised
clemency in 134 cases out of 265 acted
upon in the year ended June 80, 1903,
and denied clemency in 131, according to
the annual report of Pardon Attorney
James S. Easily Smith, lately submitted
to the Attorney General This is a less
number acted on by the President than
In the preceding year, when he consid-
cred 3l5 cases. denied clemency IN 1S1.
and exercised clemency in 134. or the
same number as in the year ended June
80, 1903.
Comparison of the report of the year
recently closed with the report for the
fiscal year ended June 80. 1901, the last
fiscal year of President McKinley's Ad-
mfnistration, shows that President
Roosevelt is exercising clemency in a
much less number of cases than Presi-
dent Mckinley. In the fiscal year ended
June 80. 1901, President Mckinley exer-
cised cIemency in 226 cases out of 343
acted upon by him.
One Years Record.
The report makes the following show
ing as 70 the NOfh IN the once OF the
attorney in charge OF pardons:
During the year $50 cases were acted
upon, which arose as follows:
Applications filed during the year.. 521
Cases pending June 80, 1902 2. 1O7
Cases reopened from former years.. %
Total- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS $50
This total is much below the number
acted on in the year ended June go, 1902.
when 7sS cases were acted upon, and the
report shows. despite a number of ap-
plications from Hawaii. Porto Rico. and
the Philippines, that a smaller number
of applications. in the aggregate. were
fled during the year than in any other
year since the one ended June 80, 1894,
the decrease since the year ended June
80, 1902, being over % per cent.
OF the $50 cases acted on in the past
year, 316 were reported adversely BY
district attorneys and judges and not
considered by the President and 50 were
unfinished June 80. 1903. leaving 265
which the President acted upon.

The eleventh annual convention of the
National Spiritualists' Association OF the
United States and Canada will be held
in Washington October 20 to %. .nclu-
sive. The coming convention will prob
ably be the largest and most important
in the history OF the association. More
than 100 delegates from all parts of the
United States and Canada are expected.
The meetings of the convention will
take place in the National Rifles Ar
mory. The business sessions will open

Election Of New President.
One Of the most important matters TO
be taken up during the convention will
be the election of a new president CT
the association H. d. Barrett, the pres
ent head Of the association, who has
held the office OF president since the in
corporation Of the association, has sig
nihed his intention of declining a re-
election. His poor health is the reason
given for this
The convention will undertake the
unification of the form of ordination ia
all States. At present the form of or
dination varies to some extent in the
societies of the different States. II is
argued that a single form which will
be used in all Spiritualist societies will
help to solidify the national association
and bring the different State associa-
tions closer together
1t is the ambition of the national asso-
citation to bring all the Spiritualist So
cieties in the United States and Canada
under its Jurisdiction. Special investi-
cations will be given to the Spiritualist
missionaries who travel from. place to
place lecturing before the societies, 10
use every effort toward bringing these
into the national association.

which an elegant dinner was served
to which all did ample justice. The
groom is a young blacksmith of
North Branch and has the ambi-

bride has grown to womanhood in
the community and is surrounded
by a host of friends who have
learned to love her because of her
true, womanly character, and all
join in wishing the young couple
a long and happy life. Many use
full and beautiful presents were
given as tokens OF esteem and re-
membrance.
