GREAT WASTE OF FUEL
Geological Surrey Erperts Shoe
There Is Immense Loss.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, April 15.-Because of the impending
coal strike of the opinions of the Geological
Survey regarding the of fuel in this country
are interesting. In recent report. after showing
that the people of this country expended approxi-
mately S,50000o0g0 for fuel for the production of
heat. light and power last year the experts of the
survey say:
The losses in the utilization OF fuel for the de-
velopment of power light and heat under existing
conditions are so great that in ton of coal con-
surned in an ordinary manufacturing plant less
than per cent of the total energy is availab BILE for
the actual work of manufacturing; that in or
dinary locomotive only from TO 3 per of the
fuel energy is obtained for pulling the train; that
in our houses ordinarily not more than one-seventh
OF per cent of the fuel energy is actually
furnaces of the country now lost in the atmos-
phere that would yield continuously If properly
utilized. more than 2500,000 horsepower; and that
by-products might be saved from the 40o0oop0 tons
of coal which now convert into coke that would
have aggregate yearly value much greater than
that of the coke Itself. These hy-products would
include ammonium sulphate sufficient to fertilize our
farms. creosote for the preservation of timber
and pitch enough for briQuettng our slack Goals.
roofing our houses and repairing of roads.
How appalling that such waste should continue
after know that ii exists! Unfortunately, IL is
not always clear even to those who best understand
may be effected. No methods. for instance, are
known by which more than one-sixth of the nitro
gen in coal be saved in the manufacture of
coke. There is no subject touching the welfare of
the human which research is needed
than economy in the of fuel

HEN THIEVES ARE DEFIANT
Marauders Apparently VIII Not Heed
Dire Threats of North Omaha
Protective Association.

1t is evident from the police records that
chicken thieves are taking no thought OF
the present temper of members of the
North Omaha Protective association, as
nearly all reports received OF poultry
losses come from residents living within
the jurisdiction of the protective associa-
ton.
Thursday night thieves took a brood of
thirty chicks from the premises OF ]. C.
Thompson. 6OO2 North Forty-fourth street
The chicks were a few days old. When
chicken thieves stole few old hens now
and then from members OF the North
Omaha Protective association the matter
was not serious enough TO warrant call
ing q special meeting, but now that cul-
prits are robbing the poultry cradles in
dignation has become such as to cause
rumors OF a special meeting and dire
things for the first man caught stealing
from any member of the association.
Mrs. c. ]. Christensen OF Calhoun drove
into town Thursday afternoon and re-
ported to the police the loss of eighty
chicks stolen from her place.

NEW PRIMARY Law. A PUZZLE
Question of Method of Appointing
Clerks and Judges to BE
EIucidated.

Another knotty question arising under
the Dodge primary law has been submitted
to County. Attorney Slabaugh for solution.
The question involves the method of ap-
pointing clerks and judges Of the primary
election to be held July 3.
The law originally provided for registra-
ton in connection with the primary, and
as the registration is carried on under the
auspices of the city, provision was made in
the law that the city clerk should appoint
primary election, boards in Omaha. The su-
preme court knocked out the section pro-
vidng for the holding of registration and
the question now comes UP whether the sec
ton providing for the appointment Of the
board by the city clerk goes out with It..
Under the general election statute the
boards would be appointed by the district
clerk.
County Attorney slabaugh will give a
written opinion to the county clerk on the
matter some time in the near future.

PaIatabIe object.

The fate of Mae Hayes will be given into
the hands OF the jury sometime this fore

yesterday afternoon and the arguments
of the attorneys begun. They VIII be

severe cross-fre OF questions and several
times she retorted rather sharply to his
insinuations.
owing to the difficulty of one OF the
jufors 10 keep his eyes open while she was
on the stand. Judge Sutton called him up
to the bench and asked him II he had been
drinking He denied that he had and the
case went on. though the juror continued
to nod frequently.
Mrs Hayes told OF the various places
she had been before coming to Omaha, but
a question as 10 whether or not she had
been in jail in Kansas City was ruled out
She explained her reasons for blowing upon
the diamond as she testified she did in her
direct examination.
"A friend of mine told me n You blow
on a diamond and It disappears quickly it is
a perfect diamond" she said.
''You mean IL the diamond disappears
quickly" said Mr.. Fitch, while a ripple Of
laughter noated over the court room.
No, she Means Breath.
mo sir. I mean II your breath disap-
pears quick.
''some peoples breath disappears quicker
than Others" said Mr.. Fitch.
Mrs. Hayes admitted She had no money
when she went into the store. She said
she did not intend TO buy the diamond
at that time. but Mr.. Hayes had told her
she could get one as soon as they got
money and she was looking around In an
tioipstion of buying one. She insisted In
her former testimony that she did not know
whether she swallowed the gem or not
she admitted. however, she had told some
people she had swallowed II and others that
she had not. She explained this by saying
she was not sure whether she swallowed
it, or not. t
She also admitted saying to Mrs. Gibbons
that her throat hurt when the diamond
disappeared, but she did not know whether
Il was the diamond or the. hands OF the
detective on her throat that caused the
pain. ~+
Mr.. Furen and Detective Maloney were
recalled In rebuttal and denied the latter
had placed his hand on her until after she
had been asked TO restore the diamond
MIR Maioney said he then placed his hand
on her chin. but not on. her throat.

mumps and sore throat, according to nl
legged confessions of Mrs Hayes. These con-
fessions were testified to by Police Matron
Gibbons and Detective Drummy, but Mrs
Hayes afterward went on the stand and
declared If she swallowed the gem she did
not know it.
Mrs Gibbons said Mrs. Hayes told her
she and Mr.. Hayes were both sick. Mrs.
Hayes having the mumps. A man who
had come TO Omaha with them had run
off with all of their money and Mrs. Hayes
said she had to do something TO raise
money.
''She said she picked out the diamond"
said Mrs Gibbons, "and put it to her
mouth, but did not swallow it until the
detective said, She has it In her mouth
She said the diamond stuck in her throat
and did not go clear down for a long time"
Officer Drummy testified to the same
statement. He denied clapping his hand
over her mouth until she had put the gem
in her mouth.
The principal interest conferred in the
testimony OF Mrs. Hayes herself She
said she was married to Mr. Thomas
In Texas about four years ago. They had
one child. He lived with her about a year
and then left her and she does not know
where he is now. since he left she has
been living with Mr., Hayes though they
have never been married. She said they
lived together as Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes in
Texas
She and Mr.. Hayes and another man
came to Omaha the Sunday before her
arrest and took rooms at 1919 Dodge street.
The other man whose name she did not
mention ran away with all the money they
had, about $50. Describing the way the
diamond disappeared she said:
Woman Gives Her Version.
Il picked the diamond Up and placed 1t
| to my lips to blow on it, Then the de-
tective rushed up and grabbed me and said
Give me that diamond. 1 don't know what
became Of the diamond whether 1 swal-
lowed it or whether 1t fell on the floor.
But 1t disappeared
She said she had done all she could to
help recover the diamond and had taken
everything the doctor has given her. She
said she had offered to undergo an opera
ton.
The description of the hat Mrs. Hayes
had on offered all kinds of difficulties e
the male witnesses. Mr.. Furen said it hac

Elective Drummy admitted he was not az

the hat carefully to see IL the diamond
was hid in 1t and he was sure there wer,
