COAL FAMINE
NOT NECESSARY
Failure Is on the Part of
the Mines and the
Railroads

| WASHINGTON, July 29.-That a
coal famine is not necessary or 1mmi-
nent is the opinion expressed by Act
ing Secretary Woodruff of the interior
department. In a statement made pub
lie today he discussed the coal area as
developed by the geological survey,
saying.
Not including great areas of Ignite,
which will be mined only after the
more valuable coal deposits are ex-
hausted, the geological survey has de-
termined that there are townships in
the states and territories west of South
Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas, aggre-
eating in all over 10000, 900 acres of
land, each township of which contains
under its entire surface or part of It,
workable deposits of coal. The geologi-
cal survey has been several years in
determining the location, quality and
workable condition of these coal de-
posits. This work has been taken up
with the utmost vigor during the pres
ent year and townships containing
more than 2S,O00,0OO acres in which
workable coal exists, have been ex-
amined and classified.
when one remembers that these
classified areas are most conveniently
situated with reference to transport
tation and settled districts and that
every acre of them is subject to pur-
chase from the government, it is easy
to see that if there is to be coal fam
Inc next winter such famine will re-
suit only from failure to mine the coal
which is easily accessible"

this shipment the southern Pacific and
its connections will receive 500, 900.
teries which are going to the Philip
pines are to b. used to increase the
effective defenses at Manila and Subig
bay. orders for their manufacture
were given by the Washington authori-
ties a number of months ago, and be-
fore the recent talk of war with Japan
arose. For these new defensive forti-
fcations al the two Philippine points
mentioned it is said that the govern
ment has been spending 100000 for
gun and mortar batteries, $400 coo for
guns and carriages, $4O5,44O for sub

PICK HAYWOOD
AS CANDIDATE

NEW YORK, July 29.-Morris Hill
quit, lawyer and author and one Or
the most prominent socialists Of tina
East, expressed the conviction GaBE
night that w. D. Haywood might be-
nominated for the presidency in 1908.
He announced that Haywood was ex-.
pected to be in this city next week.
when a demonstration in his honor
would be held.
THE innocence of Haywood or any
other socialist never doubted" said Mr-
Hillquit. HE is a leading spirit or
socialism and l might as we'll tell you
now that Mr.. Roosevelt, who termed
Haywood undesirable citizen may fInd
him an opponent for the presidential
chair.
"The members of the Meyer Hay
wood conference committee will secure
Madison Square Garden for next week

already made arrangements to have
Mr.. Haywood there"

HONEST JURY
SAYS GOMPERS

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor last night in an interview re-
garding the outcome of the Haywood
trial at Boise, Idaho, declared that no
honest American jury could have
brought in any other verdict Mr.
Gompers said:
1T was inconceivable that any hon
est American jury would have brought
any other verdict than was rendered
by the Boise jury, acquitting w. D.
Haywood. That he was innocent of
the crime charged against him, the
murder of Ex-Governor Steuenenberg,
was absolutely certain from the begin
ming.
when the charge was brought
against him and his colleagues, even if
Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone had
Governor Steunenberg during his ad-
ministration, at the time of his being
killed and for almost two years before
he was in no way in position to in
terfere with the work of the Western
Federation of Miners; he was removed
from the field of opposition to the
miners organization.
THE organization, as a matter of
necessity, was compelled to deal with
new conditions, with new men and with
new opponents, and could not have the
time, much less the inclination or mo-
tive, to wreak murderous vengeance
upon one who was no longer in their
path. There was no motive and no
purpose for Haywood to kill or to con-
spire to have killed Governor Steuen-
berg.
1.-The Idaho jury and all the Ameri-
can people are to be congratulated
upon the acquittal of Haywood. The
testimony of Orchard confessing that
he was a manifold murderer; that he
was a bigamist, burglar, incendiary,
thief, liar, and fraud, was enough to
sicken the hearts of all our people.
Upon such testimony it was unthinka-
BILE that a jury of honest American
citizens would hang even yellow dog"

No Hope to Recover the;
Wrecked Steamer AS,

PORTLAND, July 29.-The steam
ship Columbia went down in from 400
to 500 fathoms of water, which pre-
cludes any possibility Of her ever be-
ing raised. Captain Jensen of the
Elder is authority for the statement
that the depth of water at the particu-
lar place where the catastrophe oc-
CURED is approximately 500 fathoms-
He did not attempt to take soundings,
since merchant vessels are not equip
ped to reach such depths, that work
being left to the navy department.
There is no possibility of the CO.
lumbta being raised, because she rests
in at least 400 fathoms of water" SAID
the captain, who played such a pFoTni-.
nent part in the rescue of the surviv-.
ors, land. she has been heard OF for
the last time.
we were attracted to the scene OF
the collision by the derelect San Pc
dro floating on her cargo. No distress,
signals had been hoisted, but they were
not necessary. We crused about in the
vicinity for five hours or so, and 1 arm
certain picked up everybody afloak
among the wreckage."

LONDON, July Recommending on

LETTER TO REV. Mr.. PATTERSON.

your advice on certain thing done
was II right or wrong? We shall have

yoke, Mass. John j Donohuo Is an
architect, Springfield, near by.
DOnohue was building, at HolyOke,
the Holy Family Institute. letting the
work by bids, as usual. DreicOrn got
the paint Job; the point was to be lead
and.Oil.
But Driecorn said to himself; dead.
and4oil isn't half 80 good as Deyoe and
it costs more money, what shall | dO?"
He painted Devoo and, after the work
WAS gdone, told Donohue, saying. "if
that isn't better than any lead and-oil
Job, III make IL 80.
Was Dreicorn right or wrop In paint
ing lead.and-Oil job DovOef
You ask how II turned ont This was
six years ago. Now Donohue has an
other Job there, big addition 10 the
Catholic Hospital; and he doesn't ask
bids for the printing, but says 20 Drei-
corn: go ahead Dreieorn and give me
as good job aB you did on the Insti-
tutc. That's the best paint job | ever
saw
lOt question ~ w as DibICOfn rlEnt
In painting Dcvoc when he had agreed
20 paint lead. and.oil?"
That isn't quito all. Lead-aud.Oil is
expected TO last three years If Drei-
corn had used lead-nnd. oil, there would
have been another job for him or some
bOdy-elsc three years ago
Was he right IN losing that job for
himself or somebody.elso three years
ago7
The Institute took 200 gallons Deyoe
and cost $1,000: the paint has worn six
years. when Donohue says "it's the
best paint job he ever saw. II he had
used lead-and-oil il would have cost
about 81, 200 for the two paint jobs (six
and three years ago. and be hungry for
paint again.
Drelcorn lost 81, 300 of business, and
took the risk OF making DonChue mad
and losing his business forever all 60
