ANTHRACITE WILL PASS
IN THIS GENERATION:
WHAT WILL NEXT DO?

New York. May 2o.-Dr. Charles
Proteus Steinmetz. professor of cleo
trical engineering in Union college, in
Schenectady. took a look into the flu
ture in a lecture last night at the
American Institute OF Electrical En-
g1neers. He said the handicap against
electricity now is its high cost of pro-
duction.
THE time will come" said Profess
sor Steinmetz, when we will have no
more coal. and it is not far in the
future. Anthracite will not last long
and many OF US who are here will be
alive when the last Is gone. Many OF
US will see the time when there is
only soft coal.
Some Of US may see the time when
soft coal is exhausted. but probably
not, for there is a supply of this even
IN Greenland's icy mountains. But
nevertheless we can see the end and
when we approach It what are We
going to 10 to keep from freezing?
That seems to be the problem the
next generation will have to meet and
may be we ourselves"

who is fighting for his freedom from the
Matteawan asylum for the rimina IN
sane. has unpaid bills against him
amounting to approximately 500, GOO. He
refuses to pay out a dollar to his creditors
as long as he is officially insane.
The creditors number about 140, and the
amounts Of their individual CLAIMS range
all the way from $35. 900 down to a CON-
paratively few dollars. They include
lawyers, doctors, alienists and a horde
OF tradespeople-!n fact, nearly everybody
who has rendered service or sold any
thing to Thaw since his first trial for
The killing OF Stanford White.
Thaw settled promptly all of the bills
growing out of his first murder trial. They
aggregated more than 100000. Some OF
the bills were very heavy. One a~lienist,
Tor a single days testimony in court, put
IN a bill for SO. coo and got a check for
the full amount. The expense of Thaw's
second trial was materially less than the
cost OF the first.
Martin Llttleton. Thaw's chief counsel

collected q considerable amount for his

MYSTERIES IN
FLYING MACHINES

Washington. May 20.-Nowhere have
the experiments of h Wright brothers
with their flying machine been watched
With more interest than right here In
Washington. The government has spent
a good deal of money in various expert
ments with aerial navigation. and it is
getting ready to do a good deal more
ia the near future.
The development by the Wrights of
what looks like n fully practical heav-
1er-than-air machine is admitted to put
a new face on the whole business. The
remarkable speed which the Wright
machine has made-at times declared
TO have eQualled for considerable dis
tances that OF an express train-is one
OF the most attractive features.
There is much mystery about this
1t is generally believed two or three es-
senttal features of 1t are unknown to
anybody save the inventors. Efforts
We're made at n time, according to re-
port, to sell 1t to the German govern
ment. The story is that the inventors
had no at that time so far developed
their project to be able to make a con
yincing statement Of its points without
diVllging a secret which they were I'M
willing to confide to anybody. Hence
the deal failed, for the time at least.
More recently 1t has peer reported
that negotiations abroad are about to
be resumed, and there is considerable
interest In the question OF whether the
United States government will get an
other chance to bid on the invention.
1t ts believed by some military and
aeronautic people that the Wrights are
now being financed by somebody with
confidence in their scheme and knowl-
cdge that II they make good they will
sell the invention for n high figure.
