coNvIcTs GET HIGH GRADES.
Women's Marks at Anamosa Lower
Than Those of Men,

Des Moines, March 1.-THE report
Of the Anamosa prison school which
was filed yesterday in the Office of the
state board of control, shows that
during the month just closed l60 in
mates were in attendance at classes.
IF these lat were men and Is women.
The total cost of the school for the
month was $4.85.
All Of the grades secured during the
month were extremely high, none of
he men going below 80 in any subject
except penmanship. Among the men
marks of 100 in arithmetic, algebra
and geometry were numerous. In
2enmanship, however, the grades in
number of instances fell as low as so.
The marks of the women are gen.
orally lower than those of the men.
This is taken as an indication that
weakness Of the intellect is an &C
,ompanying symptom of criminality in
Homsn. During the month only two
inmates were reported for non-attend-
ince at classes. The report states
hat most Of the prisoners enjoy at
ending the schools.

IOWA COAL NEAR TOP.
It Beats Alabama and Illinois Soft
Coal.


Ames, March 6.-During the past
year the department of mechanical
engineering has determined the heat
making power of samples of coal from
twenty-one different mines in Iowa
representing all of the important MIL
ing districts. The average OF all
samples tested shows Iowa coal to
have a heat making value Of approx
mately II 900 heat units "a heat unit
is the amount of heat to raise the tenn
perature Of one pound Of water one
degree). The maximum and minimum
results were Is, 200 and $3.50 heat units
respectively. Concurrent tests Of an
thracite coal gave 12,500, of foundry
coke 1880 and of Beaumont crude oil
10000.
Chemical tests on Iowa and compel.
ing soft coal show that Iowa coal is
higher in combustible material than
Illinois and Alabama Goals and but
little lower than Ohio, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia Goals. Some Iowa
Goals are high in sulphur and others
are high in ash, which facts account
for difficulties experienced in using
them for domestic and steam making
purposes.
Actual use of Iowa Goals under boil
ers for steam making shows that the
cost of fuel for producing 1000 pounds
of steam ranges from Is cents with
slack at S1.45 to 25 cents with lump
coal costing S295 per ton.

AMERICANS LEAD MARKETS.
German Paper Urges Manufacturers to
Use American Methods.


Use American Methods.
Berlin, March 7.-Export, a trade
paper devoted to extending German
foreign trade, devotes series of
articles to studying the methods by
which American goods are supplanting
German goods in foreign markets. The
articles consist largely of letters from
Germans living in Mexico, Venezuela,
Brazil and Australia The writer's en-
plain that German manufacturers are
being beaten because they are unwill-
ing to guarantee agents fixed salaries,
as Americans do, and also because
they depend on sending out catalogues,
whereas the Americans keep stocks
of goods in established agencies,
where buyers are able to purchase af-
ter seeing the goods and therefore pre-
fer to deal with the Americans.
Export urges the German manufac-
turers to abandon their penny wise,
pound foolish" policy, and give their
agents decent fixed salaries, 80 as to
enable them to Withstand the flatter-
ing offers of their American competi-
tors, adding: This Is all the more
important since American competition
In the worlds markets will evidently
grow keener during the next ten
years."

COAL MINERS WILL VIA.
Reported That Strike Commission
viii Favor Them.

WIZ avn
New York, March THE Herald
prints the following as summary of
the findings Of the coal strike commits
sion, appointed by President Roose.
welt, which It is expected win be
handed to the president within aweek:
There will undoubtedly be at least
10 per cent advance in the pay fol-
mining, to take effect from the time
that the miners returned to work last
october. The per diem employees will
not have their wages increased, but
will be recommended for the same
pay for day Of nine hours.
The way of pay will be regulated.
Wherever practicable the operators
will be required to pay by weight, in.
stead Of by the car, and elsewhere by
the lineal yard. The miners will have
check docking representatives at
their own expense. This will practic
ally amount to second raise in
wages.
There will be indirect recognition of
the union, which will come when the
findings are submitted by President
Roosevelt to John Mitchell, as presl-
dent of the miners union.
The causes of the strike, as found
by the commission, will not be COM
forting to the coal mining companies.
The boycott will be condemned, and
the principle will be laid down that a
miner has right to work without mo-
lestation, even though he does not be.
long to the union.
The terms of the verdict are to
hold good for three years, and recon.
mendations are to be made for settle.
ments of wage and other questions at
the end of that period.
In local disputes the operators will
be advised to treat with committees Of
the miners and there may be a sug-
gestion for local boards OF arbitration
