Methods.
"Now in coming before you
today to talk upon the subject of
briquetted coal we hold nothing
up our sleeve, but are placing be-
fore you the ingredients of our
briquette, so that you can take
it to any chemist who would de-
termine apart from my say so,
whether or not I have spoken the
truth and solved the problem of
briquetting North Dakota Ignite
In the manufacture of these
briquettes the coal as it comes
from the mine, is dumped into
the crusher, then into the disin-
tegrator where like a coffee mill
it grinds the chunks of coal to
powder, is then elevated to the
top of the mill into a revolving
screen, where it drops into a
mammoth bin, from whence it
is drawn into a rotary drier,
thence into a pug mill or mixer,
with the binder used and while
hot it passes into the machine
which is also hot, where it is
pressed into bricks of the vari-
GUS sizes to suit the demand and
as soon as it is cold it becomes
hard and ready for the market.
The time occupied in this from
the crusher where it is coal as
it comes from the mine, to the
car where it is in it's briquetted
form, is seventeen minutes.
Composition and Cost.
''The composition of this
briquette is first 81 per cent of
coal and 6 per cent of binder.
The binder consists of first, flax
straw, second, ordinary glucose,
third, lime, fourth, resin. This
with the 81 per cent of coal
forms the Ignite briquette which
has been patented by myself.
According to government re-
port for the past years they have
gathered statistics from the var
ious mines in this state, the av-
erage cost per ton of mining
North Dakota ignite is about
$1.25 ton, and under the pres
ent conditions of mining we have
a great amount of fine coal that
is stored away in the chambers
of the mines and is of no COM
mercial value and is very dan
gerous to life and property be-
cause of the liability of spontan-
eous combustion and setting fire
to the mines as we have in
stances within the past year at
Washburn and Kenmare. This
we figure will average about 40
per cent. Under the briquetting
system this will be the most val
liable product of the mine to us
as it will not require the amount
of crushing as does the lump
coal, thereby using this now
waste coal and calling it by the
mining term of run of mine in
which the slack and lump coal
are brought together, we lessen
the work Of the miner and at the
same time reduce the cost of the
coal mining 40 per cent, which
brings it down to seventy-fve
cents per ton, without any
change in methods of mining
from the present system employ
ed. Allowing IL cents for flax
straw, allowing 60 cents for
glucose, allowing 20 cents for

SERIOUS PROPORTIONS.
Two Falls Yesterday and This Morning.
Fair Weather, Followed by
Storm, Promised.

Newark and vicinity was visited by two
snow storms within the last twenty-four
hours, one last night and the other this
morning. Neither amounted to much.
The first one, which was part of the big
storm that had been raging In the North
west for several days. delayed its arrival

In as though 1t was going to make up
for lost time, but in an hour It let up
somewhat, although a mild fall continued
until 3 O'Clock this morning, leaving nearly

from the Southwest came along. 1t looked

COACHES HIGHER
LIVERYMEN RAISE HIRING
PRICE FROM SIS TO So.
Wedding Parties Dispense with Some.
Funeral Directors May Appeal for
Uniform Scale for Drivers.

The increase in the hiring price of
coaches and hearses by the liverymen
went into effect yesterday, and there
was a noticeable decrease in the num-
Der of coaches in use, especially at
wedding ceremonies among the Slavs
and Polanders and Lithuanians. Here
tofore 1t has been the custom among
people to have three coaches, one for
the bridal party and one each for the
parents of the bride and bridegroom.
When some of them learned of the
increase from So to So for a coach they
decided to use only two instead of
three.
One was ordered as usual for the
bridal party and one for the parents
of the contracting parties, who divided
the coet of that coach. which saved
them 81 each.
There was q. little mix-up in the wed
ding arrangements of a couple in Adams
street for which four coaches had been
hired. When the coaches arrived at the
Adams street residence yesterday morning
the wedding party learned for the first
time Of the increase OF 81 per coach. After
81 consultation among the members of tho
party it was decided to dispense with one
of the coaches by placing six in each Of
the two reserved for the guests.
When the drivers were informed Of the
arrangements they objected to carrying
six persons in a coach. Then they were
told that 1t was either six In a coach or no
coaches at all, and then they agreed to tho
arrangement.
Among the funeral directors there was
little or no trouble. as they made only
seventy-ave cents on each coach. Several
OF them said that they would prefer to see
the drivers Of the cotches allowed 81 for
their work. 1t Is probable that the ques-
ton may be brought up at the next meet
ing Of the Funeral Directors Protective
Association and It may be decided to petit
ton the livery stable men to adopt the
scale proposed by the funeral directors.

played with success in the Shubert
Theatre last night under the auspices

and as the costumes were new and the
scenery good the performance was a
pleasure from the time the curtain went
up until 1t dropped at the close of the
last act.
The leading parts were in the capable
and experienced hands of Paul Nelva
and Miss Emile Schoenfeld, while
among the minor characters Herman
Gerold and Miss Johanna Wagner dis

rector Hanisch was in general charge,
and also played a most important part.

BAKER DEATH
PROBE
Rich BOstOnian Had Taken
Enough Arsenic to Kill
Several.

HACKENSACK, Dec. 2.-ProBecutor
Ernest Rooster stated today that he
expected to call on District Attorney
Jerome to discuss with him the death
OF Walter f. Baker, Of Boston, which
occurred in Bogota.
1t is said that the chemists who ex-
amined the organs of Mr.. Bakers body
after death found therein a large guam
tity of poison. Mr.. Rooster has had no
direct notification of the finding Of
poison in the body other thar the
statements printed in the newspapers.
He expects, however, to have the Off
cial report of the examination today.
AS Mr.. Baker was taken i'll after eat
ing a meal in New York, the New York
authorities are TO be consulted. 1t is
said that Edward Baker. of Boston,
the dead mans brother. and his lawyer,
Frank N. Nay, will take part in the
conference.
BOSTON, Dec. 1.-THE proprietary prep
aration used In embalming the body OF
Walter Farnsworth Baker. the Boston
young man who died under suspicious
circumstances at Bogota, N. j., October
q, contained no arsenic, according TO q
statement issued today by DIR. William F.
Boos. who says his own analysis is corro-
borated in hat respect by the manufac-
turers. Yesterday DIR. Boos issued a re-
port on his analysis of the organs of the
body of young Baker, in which he claimed
to have found arsenic traces. Today DIR.
Boos made the following further state
ment:
About one-tenth Of a grain OF arse
mic is considered a fatal dose, and |
found much more than that in Walter
Baker's body. / found enough to kill
several strong, healthy men.
THE arsenic was distributed we'll
through the body, and in such a man
ner that there can be no question but
that 1t was administered In one large
dose. 1t Is also practically certain that
it was given In liquid form.
IF it had been administered In the
common white powder form l should
most likely have found traces of the
powder in the stomach"
