INACCURACY CHARGED
MIR. SLAYDEN CRITICISES STATE
MENT BY THE PRESIDENT.
Declares tho South Has Received Few
Appointments in the Consular
Service.

ANY man who talks volumes cannot al
ways be accurate
1t was during a speech on the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill in the House
yesterday that Representative Slayden Of
Texas made this remark about the Presi-
dent. "And he certainly has been inaccu-
rate in some instances" he went on.
1.-THE present occupant Of the White
House would be a striking figure even II he
did not have the aid Of the pomp and cir
cumstance Of the presidency" he added
HE is never commonplace. he is always
interesting and usually picturesque"
And right" interjected Representative
Mann Of Illinois.
Mr.. Slayden paid no attention to the in
terruption, but went on. II said picturesque.
indeed there are times and there have been
times in which I would like him to have
been less picturesque than he was. He is

Mr.. Slayden called attention to q
before the national convention for the pro-
motion of foreign commerce. in which he
said the President had declared that by
rules promulgated by the Department of
matte service upon a bipartisan basis and
even on a non-sectional basis. This state
ment, Mr.. Slayden said would be interest
ing If true. but like all men who talk q
great deal and vehemently, he is oc-
casionally apt to get his facts all wrong"
Mr.. Slayden then took up the sectional
side Of the question and of the 734 per-
sons in the diplomatic list he showed that
there were but forty-nine persons ac-
credited to states south of Mason and
pixon's line. Six states, New York. Penn
sylvania. Illinois, Ohio. California and Mas
sachusetts. have 377 appointees in the con-
sular and diplomatic service, or twenty-one
more than half of the total. OF the forty
nine appointees credited to the south eleven
were born in northern states and nine are
from foreign countries, said Mr.. Slayden.
EVEN when they come to dole out the
very slender slices of pie that they give
to the south in the consular and diplo-
matte SERVICE" he continued. they give
them to carpet-baggers rather Than to

Views Of OHcial Of United States
Geological Survey-Lecture Before
Geographic Society.

NJ. r. Campbell of the United States
geological survey during an address be-
fore the National Geographic Society, at
Hubbard Memorial Hall last evening on
THE Coal Lands of the United States Pub
lie Domain predicted that all the coal in
the United States will have been consumed
and exhausted in 200 years. II not sooner.
He said he did not care to go on rec
ord as an alarmist, but inasmuch as he has
made q thorough and minute investigation
and inspection Of the various coal lands
throughout the country. and has carefully
prepared statistics, he Is satisfied the ques-
tIon Ia a serious one and worthy Of impera-
tive steps toward remedying the conditions.
He suggested congressional action, with a
view Of conserving coal mines on public
lands and preventing corporations corner
Ing them"
Mr.. Campbell bases his prediction Of a
coal shortage. or famine. as follows: There
actual coal in the entire United States at
the present time. This constitutes approx
fmately 2. 2OOOO0.OO0,OO0 tons of coal. To
give some idea OF the condensed size of
this amount OF coal. IL 1t We're al put to-
eether In one piece 1t would make a cube
seven and a half miles high and Wide. Last
year the consumption OF coal in the United
States was 800. 900. 600 tons. and despite
this yearly II QlQ III
crease each year in the future. there would
be enough coal to last more than 1000
years
Consumption VIII Increase.
IT have reason to believe" the lecturer
continued, that the consumption will
steadily increase each year. Coal was first
used In this country in 1915. and In the
next ten years 33.0Oo.O 900 tons were con-
sumed. The next ten years those figures
were more than doubled. and every decade
since they have been doubled. until they
have reached the mammoth proportions
stated. The railroads at the present day
Industry. Last year 10600O,OOO tons were
used In running locomotives. 1t Is q known
fact that the railroads will become more
extensive, necessarily putting more loco
motives In operation. and this consump-
ton Is bound to increase. Factories and
manufacturing Industries are the second
largest consumers of coal. Necessity will
cause them to increase and use more coal
Ine next largest consumption Is for do
mestic use as fuel. An increase In this
form will depend upon the population, and
~ Is unnecessary to state that the popula-
ton will increase as the years 60 by. There
fore. taking into consideration the amour,
of coal there Is In the United States and
an approximate estimate OF the yearly con.
sumption ana the rate II has increased since
1915, I will not give coal more than 20C
years to exist. 1t Is possible that Ii will
be exhausted In $50 years. At any rate ur-
gent steps should be taken to adopt some
plan by which the life of coal will be pro-
longed.
There Is an almost shameful II not Grim.

DEMAND FOR A SCHOOL.
Fort Myer and Colonial Heights Citi'
gems Discuss Ways and Means.

Gems DISCUSS ways ana means.
School for the younger children was the
subject Of the Fort Myer Colonial
Heights citizens meeting last night. This
section has had a grievance against the
school authorities, it Is stated. because
several years ago all the money available
was taken to build what was considered
an unnecessarily expensive house on the
Columbia pike. Fort Myer Heights and
Rosslyn being left unprovided with pri-
mary school advantages. A sharp fight
was made at the time and legal proceed
ings undertaken, but no remedy was
found. Since that time the town Of ciar-
endon has grown up and the Heights has
considerably increased in population, SO
that now there are over q hundred young
children who have no proper provision
for schooling.
An effort was made last fall to open q
school In temporary quarters for these
children. but the Arlington trustees re-
ported they could find no house for rent
At that time. however, they bought a lot
the Ballston road for $500 and have
since been taking steps to get the title
and location settled and operations be-
gun toward ro,. erecting building ni and

inal waste in COAL" Mr.. Campbell went on
to say. 1.-THE chief waste is the burning
Of coal to make coke. AS near as I can
calculate more than $4,000 900 tons Of
burning UP of this coal for coke Is caused
by the great corporations, particularly the
United States Steel Corporation They want
good coke for smelling purposes, and as
they own the majority Of the coal mines
In the east, no one can stop them from
this absolute waste. In Pennsylvania
alone. which is the greatest coal center
of the United States more than 10000 coke
ovens are in operation. The government
should have power. 1 think, to interfere and
regulate. If not prohibit. such waste"
Most Important Mineral.
Mr.. Campbell began his lecture by defln-
ing coal as the most extensively produced
and most important mineral product Of this
country. By means Of carefully prepared
tables he illustrated it's relative importance
with the other minerals. particularly gold
and silver He. then proceeded to describe
the analysis Of the mineral, defining 1t as
vegetable substance covered with earthly
materials. He then defined the various
kinds of coal and recited what the good
and bad Goals are made up Of. He then
compared the coal production Of this cOun-
try with foreign nations, showing that our
output Is 50 per cent more than Great
Britain and 60 per cent more than Ger
many. the next largest coal-producing
countries. He next showed the compare
tive productions in states, naming Penn
sylvania as first by a large majority. ILL.,
nois second and West Virginia third. The
largest coal area, he said, is in Montana
there being 1900 square miles Of
the mineral in that state. The next
largest area Is In Texas, then Illinois and
then North Dakota. Despite the amount
Of area in the west he stated that region
Is not q large coal-producing region. He
explained the situation by saying that con-
siderable Of the region has not been worked
and some Of the veins have not been dis
covered. According to Mr.. Campbell the
beds in the west are much thicker than
in the east. In the latter region q bed
thicker than ten or thirteen feet Ia seldom
found, but In the west some Of the beds
are as thick "a 100 feet. However, he ex-
poets the coal regions Of the west, espe-
cially in Montana, North Dakota and Colo
RADIO. to develop In richness. Although there
Is evidence Of considerable coal In Alaska
what products he has examined were of a
poor grade. and he does not expect much
