Two winters Of coal famine In Utah
have taught the people something Of
the necessity for preparedness. and
this necessity seems to be more press
ing right now than ever before In the
city's recent history Tho railroad
companies this year have been going
over the situation, and today issue a
statement Of what may be expected
This statement points out that coal
famine is certain for the simple reason
that it Will be utterly impossible to
get out enough coal To equal the de-
mand during the cold months, and
that this period must be tidcd over
with storage coal. Unless this pre-
caution is taken there is absolutely
no hope Of avoiding suffering, and
protractel suffering in case the win
ter happens to be severe.
The statement given out today is
sues from the office of j. A. Reeves,
general freight agent. and goes 10 ali
agents Of the Hartman agencies west
of Green River II follows:

This condition is generally ac-
knowledged and understood yet It
seems 20 be a hard matter to prevail
upon the dealers and people in gem

BILE the interests of education could be
forwarded by ANY combination of
teachers which operates through pol
itics'' This feeling may rot be justi-
fled by experience. Weighty philoso-
piers of ancient civilizations were
strongly opposed to paying teachers
anything, considering that paid teach
ing degrades education and prostitutes
teaching talent We are only half over
that notion now, for we still insist that
teachers work for about half the wages
paid for equal service in other lines of
endeavor Perhaps we shall in like
manner get over the notion that
teachers should not organize to help
themselves to the other half. Whether
we do will perhaps depend much on
how the teachers go about it.

Havana, April 6.-There Is mucn

will make definite statement re-
garding the date Of the end Of the
American intervention in Cuba.

The Liberal generals, In spite Of
their failure to establish party har-

effort to this end in Pinar Del Rio
for the purpose Of showing Secretary
Taft that the Liberals are united In

NOT AMERICAN TERRITORY
Supreme Court Decides Isle Of Pines
Belongs to Cuba.
Case Originated Over Duty on a Few
Boxes of Cigars and Had Been
Litlgated Four Years.

Washington, April 9.-That the Isle
of Pines is not American territory
was officially and judicially declared
Monday by the supreme court OF the
United States. The decision was
rendered in the famous case Of Ed
ward ]. Pearcy versus Nevada N.
Stranahan, collector of the port at
New York, and the opinion Of the
court was announced by Chief Justice
Fuller, who said that up to the Paris
treaty the Isle of Pines had been con-
sidered as an integral part of Cuba
and that 1t could not be held to be
covered by article two of that treaty
which included only islands in the
vicinity of Porto Rico.
The case originated in connection
with the importation of few boxes
OF cigars by Pearcy in September
1908, but its hearing by the court was
from time to time postponed In the
hope that the status Of the island
might be definitely fixed by legisia-
ton, or diplomacy. The cigars were
made in the Isle of Pines Of tobacco
grown there and when they arrived
Pearcy refused to pay duty on inc
ground that they were Of domestic
origin. The collector thereupon
seized them and Pearcy appealed to
the United States circuit court, where
he secured no relief, as that court
sustained a demurrer filed by the
government and dismissed the ap-
neal.

New York. April e-The trial OF
Harry X. Thaw will proceed on Mon
day morning when Dolphin M. Del
mas, leading counsel for the defense
will begin his summing up address TO
the jury. District Attorney Jerome
decided late Friday not to apply to
the appellate division Of the supreme
court for g writ Of prohibition or man
damus TO halt the trial. He reached
this decision, 1t was said, after con-
sultation with eminent counsel. MT.
Jerome may argue briefly on Monday
morning against the confirmation OF
the report Of the lunacy commission
which declared Thaw to be sane, but
he is aware that Justice Fitzgerald's
disposition is to confirm the report,
which was unanimous. The district
attorney has many witnesses stu to
subpoena, but It is said he has decided
not to call them and will press the
trial Forward to an early verdict, OF
what Is regarded more likely. a dis
agreement Of the jury.
When Justice Fitzgerald Thursday
declined to grant the district attorney
access TO the minutes Of the lunacy
commission, Mr.. Jerome threatened 70
carry the matter to the appellate di
vision on the ground that he had beer
excluded from the final examination
Of Thaw BY the commission. He SAID

JEROME WILL TAKE APPEAL

Ney Time to Decide HE
Line 81 Action.

New York, April 5.-Harry X. Thaw
Thursday was declared sane by the
unanimous report Of the commission
in lunacy appointed to inquire into his
mental condition. The moment the
decision was handed down from JUS
tice Fitzgerald's desk, District Attor-
ney Jerome was on his feet vigorous
ly protesting against its confirmation
by the court. He declared he had been
excluded from the last session Of the
commission and demanded to be al.
lowed to have access to the minutes
and stenographic notes Of what trans
pired at the final mental and physi'
cal examination Of the defendant.
When Justice Fitzgerald declined to
turn the minutes over to the district
attorney Mr.. Jerome declared he would
carry the case to the appellate divis'
ion Of the supreme court, asking that
writ Of prohibition or mandamus be
granted to prevent continuance OF
the Thaw trial until the higher court
had ruled upon the legality OF the
commissions course.
Justice Fitzgerald reminded Mr..
Jerome that he had waived the statu-
tory right Of attending the last SEES
sion Of the commission by suggesting
himself that all the attorneys be ex-
cluded from the sitting in question.
He had granted the district attorney
an adjournment until Monday morn
ing In order that he might have time
to prepare his application to the ap-
pellate division. Mr.. jerome protest
ed that the time was not sufficient,
but Justice Fitzgerald cut him short
with the announcement that the trial
must be concluded forwith.
Unless Mr.. jerome should secure a
writ of prohibition In the meantime,
Justice Fitzgerald is expected to an
nounce on Monday morning that ne
has confirmed the report of the com
mission and order that the trial pro-
coed without further delay. The dis
trict attorney and the counsel for the
defense will be heard in argument as
to the confirmation Of the report al
Mondays session If they so desire.
Thaw was not in the court to hear
the decision. The jury was also ex
cluded, and both prisoner and Jurors
were out Of range of the district at
torneys heated discussion with Jus
tice Fitzgerald. All the members Of
the Thaw family, including the mother
and wife of the defendant, were pres
ent, however, and their keen delight
over the announcement of the favor
able report was turned into alarm at
the unexpected attitude Of the district
attorney, whose threat to take the
matter before the appellate division OF
the court seemed to involve another
serious delay in the long drawn out
trial.
1t was authorltatively stated late
Thursday night that District Attor
ney Jerome will appeal from he dc
cisilon Of Justice Fitzgerald In refus
ing to allow him to inspect the min
utes Of the Thaw commission In lun
acy. The appeal will be In the ma
ture Of an action to obtain a review
Of the Justices decision and will be
taken in the appellate division Of thu
