SANTA MONICA GETS
GREATPLPE ORGAN
TWO MANUAL INSTRUMENT is
SPLENDIDLY MADE
Case Is of Quarter Sawed Oak and
Pipes Are Gold Bronze-Estey
Organs Popular in Los
Angeles
BY GEE O'JAY

Within the past year or so there has
been a marked tendency among the
churches of Los Angeles and vicinity
toward installing large pipe organs.
One of the latest to follow this popular
trend is the First Presbyterian church
of Santa Monica, in which has recently
been placed q magnificent two-manual
pipe organ.
This splendid instrument was presented
to the church by j. H. Clark in memory
of his son. Edward Joseph Clark. j. H.
Clark is basso of the quartet which sings
in the church.
The opening recital on the instrument
of the First Presbyterian church was re-
Gently given by E. H. Mead, who is or
ganist of the Second Church of Chrost
Scientist, and also of the synagogue al
Ninth and Hope streets, Los Angeles.
The organ in question is a magnificent
specimen of the famous Estey make
which factory is represented in the south
west by the house of the George ]. Biz
KEEL company, located on Spring street
Los Angeles.
ORGAN Handsome Ornament
The case of the above instrument is Of
quarter-sawed oak, golden finish, will
gold bronze pipes.
The size of the organ is 16X1S feet, max
ing a handsome ornament, of which th'
church is justly proud.
Within a comparatively short period
Estey pipe organs have been installed IL
the following churches in Southern Cali
fornia: Wesley chapel, Eighth and San
Julian streets, Los Angeles; Independent
Church of Christ, Eighteenth and Fig
ueroa streets; East Side Congregations
church, North DAILY street, East Los An
geles; Boyle Heights Presbyterian
A. M. E., at Eighth and Towne avenue
besides a number of others in this city
The Lake Avenue Methodist church o
Pasadena, First Christian and First Bap
fist churches of Long Beach, also Spur
geon Memorial Methodist church, Soutl
of Santa Ana( each have secured a pip
organ made by the Estey company.
In conversation with representative
of the Birkel company music house tn
writer was informed that the easter
custom of installing self-playing pip
organs in private residences is becoming
very popular in Los Angeles.
This goes to prove that the love o
music is not only very marked, but is in
creasing in this city.
Los Angeles is noted at home ant
abroad for it's musical talent, bot
among amateurs and professionals.
This condition is very gratifying ant
The Herald stands ready at all times t.
do anything in its power to further tn
cause of music in all its branches.

COAL TESTS IN THE STATE
U. S. Geological Survey Makes
Examination,
SATISFACTORY IN EVERY WAY
Made in 6riquettes as a Substitute
for Anthracite coal-Result Of

The United States geological survey
issues the following statement from
the department OF the interior at
Washington;
One OF the giants OF the Union In
the extent and valuation of its min-
eral wealth, West Virginia, is still
marching on toward the head of the
list.
Not only is this state great in her
production OF coal, but also in the
quality of the fuel that comes from the
mines. Preliminary tests made at the
fuel testing station of the United geo.
logical survey in st. Louis. prove that
some of the best steaming Goals of the
country are found in West Virginia.
One hundred and seyenty-five chem.
ical analysis of this coal range in
British thermal units from 1880 to
the lowest, to 1926. the highest.
The steam tests made at st. Louis
show that all the West Virginia Goals
are high-grade steam coals--in fact
they are decidedly in the lead IN this
respect of all Goals tested. Coal from
Quinnimont bed on New river showed
nearly $4,000 British thermal units
| All of the Goals from this state are
coking Goals. but notwithstanding this
fact coking tests were made at St

POLICE AID IN CAPTURE.
But Don't See Where They Will Get
Anything Out of Reward.

The local police force was notified
recently that Walter Brugler had es.
capped from jail at Montrose. Pa, and
It was thought that he was in this
vicinity Through means known to
themselves they succeeded in tracing
him to Kingston. N. Y. Word was
sent to Susquehanna county that the
man was in Kingston. Soon afterwards
he was traced to Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
and was there taken in charge by
Chief McCabe ~.
The local police are trying to figure
out Just how they are going to get
anything ont OF the deal There was
a reward of fifty dollars offered for the
mans capture and Chief McCabe has
been paid the money. The authorities
in Pennsylvania promised to pay the
local officers If they succeeded in trac
ing the man. AAfter his capture they
wrote here and said that they would
pay half. Clerk Letter sent word
back that he expected them to stick
to their word and wanted all or none

Making of eriquettes.

An interesting nd most important
part of the experimental work of the
government experts was in the max
ing OF what are called "briquettes.
The Sc are cakes of waste coal, mixed
with tar, the whole pressed together
compactly by machinery. 1t is the
latest and most satisfactory method
yet devised for the utilization of the
waste from the mines. In briquetting
the tests which have the most direct
bearing on the fuel question of this
state are those which produced the
briquettes from coal breeze (waste)
with or without the addition of small
amount of raw coal. ~
The briquettes made by both meth
DDS were hard and burned well and
doubtless would make good substi-
tute for anthracite coal The results
obtained with New river coal and coke
could without question be duplicated
with any other coking coal of the
state and it seems that this might
open up an important industry which
would utilize a waste product ana
produce valuable fuel.

The following circular sent out by

United States senate in 1889
In the course Of studies for the
purpose Of publishing IA authentic
biography of James Rumsey, the
great inventor or steam navigation,
the writer found it necessary to go to
Washington to make further re-
searches in the Congressional Library
and other quarters The story Of the
god medal particularly mystified him.
II was matter Of belief among Rum
sey's descendants and others. that
congress had voted that gold medal
to Rumsey's only heir, his son, James,
Jr. 1t was equally evident that for
some mysterious reason the medal had
never reached the party intended, to
solve the mystery. IT was necessary to
search the record. Accordingly the
writer visited the house document,

but II proved an arduous task; he
gave II up, then the writer took the
