CHEAP COAL CAUSED A WASTE
Mine Inspector Gilday Explains the
Decrease In Production In
the State.

| TOpeKa.-FTanK Gllday, sCdIe HiHc
inspector, has submitted his report to
Gov. w. r. Stubs for the years 1907
and 1908, ending June 30, and de-
clares that while 1907 reached the
highest point in the volume OF coal
production in Kansas, the succeeding
year showed both decrease In the
tons produced and the prices. He &C.
counts for the lower values by the
fact that the largest mines sell to
railroads and corporations, and be-
cause of the large quantity they buy,
very cheap rate is made. He says
that in this effort to produce cheap
coal there Is also much waste In
mining.
Mr.. Gilday makes no mention OF
natural gas, and its effect upon both
the production and selling price Of coal
in Kansas.
Referring to employment, produc-
tion and accidents, Mr.. Gilday says:
During the fiscal year ending June
30, 1907, there were employed in and
around the coal mines Of Kansas
II ,957 men, of whom 1858 were miners
who produced 6,591 ,O13.24 short tons of
coal. They worked an average of 2O4
days. This shows an increase Of 1885,
1924 tons of coal and LIPS employees
over the preceding year. This was
the banner year for Kansas, more coal
being produced than ever before In Its
history.
For the year ending June 30, 1908,
there we're employed 1884 men, of
whom 9104 were miners, who pro-
duced 5,5SS,O16.29 short tons, of coal.
They worked an average Of 179 days.
This shows a decrease Of 1902, ,9S6.95
tons of coal and 523 employees from
the previous year. This decrease was
due to the fact Of there having been
a suspension In all the coal mines of
Kansas from April 1 to June 6, 1908.
During the year ending June 80,
1907, there were 50 fatal and 81 non
fatal accidents, or one fatal accident
for every 126,750 tons of coal pro-
duced and for every 229 employees. For
every 67,949 tons of coal produced and
for every 1913 employees there was one
non-fatal accident
During the year ending June 30,
1908, there were 81 fatal and 72 nom
fatal accidents, or one fatal accident
for every 1S0,25S tons of coal pro-
duced, and for every 1886 employees.
For every 77611 tons Of coal produced
and for every 157 employees there was
one non-fatal accident"

CONvICT-MADE KERCHfEFS
MUST ALL BE STAMPED.
Counsel Holds Every
Article Must Bear Label.

Each handkerchief made in the Essex
county prison must be stamped as be-
ing the product of convict labor. ac-
cordlng tos an opinion prepared by
County Counsel Joseph l.. Mum. The
opinion was to nave been presented at
yesterdays meeting of the Board of
Freeholders, but as the matter was re-

Mr.. Mum holds tina the mere stamp

handkerchiefs is not enough to meet
the requirements Of the statute. 1t Is

LYONS FARMS SECTION TO
GET BETTER CAR SERVICE,
TrolIeys to Run Every Eight

In compliance with a request made
by residents of the Lyons Farms neigh
'borhood, the Public Service Corporation
will institute, beginning Monday eve
ming, an extension of the trolley serv-
ice between that section of the city and
the downtown districts. sg
Orders We're issued yesterday by r, e.

lie Service railways, that every second
car on the Mount Prospect avenue line
shall run through to Lyons Farms ~"
at the Lehigh Valley railroad crossing
between the hours of 4:40 and 6:H p.
M. starting time from BROAD and
Market STREETS, and between the hours of
5:15 and Oil a. M, starting time from
Lyons Farms. Heretofore all Mount
Prospect Venue a T have stopped at
Elizabeth and Renner avenues, and
residents of the Lyons Farms neigh
borhood have had no other trolley sery-
ice than that furnished by the Main
Line cars.
Since the Mount Prospect cars run
on a four-minute headway during the
rush hours the relief for the outlying

thirds came from the eight surround

They came by all sorts and descrip-

had ridden all night in order to reach
here and were dusty and travel-stain-

the bulk of the delegates, but there
were farmers in attendance from

DIR. S. L. CORROTHERS THE
MAN

By Professor William II. Ferris.
Last week I was talking with one
Of the most noted educators Of our
race. He 1amented the fact that many
of our latter day leaders have not the
stiffness in their vertebrae column
which Douglass, Langston, Crummall
and Garnett and Downing and Walk
er possessed. He felt that the great
CRYING need of our race was for
leaders of whom it can be said that
manliness was an Unborn character
istic of their souls. And then this
educator began to discuss some Of
our latter day leaders. I casually re
ferred to DR.. Corrothers. eyes" he
said, Il regard Corrothers as a very
valuable man to the race. He has
one quality that IS a very valuable
asset to the race, and that is courage.
I don't always agree with his political
position in every particular, but, we
must thank the Giver of every good
and perfect gift that in these deca-
dent days when so many of our lead
ers bow the knee to Baal and worship
the brazen calf, and jump on the
band wagons; that in Dr. Corrothers
we have bold, fearless champion
who like Elijah OF old, stood alone
for God and the right, against the
prophets of Baal."

has penetrated.
Twenty-Five years ago when the
school was just starting here there
was a famous camp-meeting ground
Just a few hundred yards away where
now stands the little model Negro
village of Greenwood. The Negro
Conference is to a certain extent
modelled on that old camp meeting
and has come to take its place. The
proceedings today were opened IN the
same old-fashioned way. An old ante
bellum minister led in prayer, and
finally some one in the audience
struck up an old-fashioned plantation
hymn of the type that is still cherish
ed among the people in the country
districts. After that the different
delegates, whose fame had preceded
them, were called upon to testify,
as they are accustomed to do at home
in the experience meetings.
The difference, however, between
the Tuskegee Negro Conference and
the Negro camp meeting whose place
it has taken, was brought out IN
striking way by the difference in the
character of the testimonies that
were offered. In the old days such
meeting as this would have raised
great shout" and when the whlskey
flowed freely, as it sometimes did,
there would have been wild, happy,
and riotous scenes. Today a large
part of the "testimonies" refer to the
efforts that the churches and other
organizations throughout the Black
Belt are making to help enforce the
prohibition law which closed the
whole state to the sale of liquor on
the first of January this year.
For the past two or three years a
serious effort has been made by the
authorities of the Tuskegee Institute,
through the Local Negro Conferences
which are scattered throughout the
eight black-belt counties OF the state,
to discourage the purchase and drink
ing of liquor by colored people. Since
the passage of the prohibition law a
wear ago a more strenuous effort has

3. A special course for Sunday
School teachers. The Sunday Schools
will be the largest and most potent
force in shaping the future of the

Mr.. James z. Sheppard,
Durham, n. c.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of the 18th instant is
received. I fully agree with you that
The Sunday School furnishes the
most hopeful field for the future work
in the uplift of the Negro" There
is no better field OF endeavor than
this. The work is worthy of the ut
most encouragement.
Very truly yours,
Charles w. Fairbanks.
The hope of the race lies in the
salvation of the young. Specially
trained teachers must do the work
if it is to be effective. A course COW
ering definite period will bring the
only permanent results.
4. Settlement work will be at
tempted in several communities and
the results given to the public.
5. A special course, designed for
the training of young men and wo-
men, to do the work required by the
Young Mems Christian Association
will be established. With proper
trained men and women ready for
service, this great arm of helpful
work will do more for the masses.
What Industrial Work VIII be Done?
It is planned to establish practical
industries, Agriculture, Horticulture,
courses of Domestic Science and sim
liar branches. The men and women
will be taught to work, and this idea
will be sent to the masses, that re-
ligion and work go hand in hand
Are the Colored People Ready?
They are, and will support it.
Sixty APPLICATIONS have already come
in.
When Do You Propose Opening?
July, 1909.
How will it be Supported Finan-
cially?
1t is planned to raise an endow-
ment to start of $I5o,ooo and to raise
an additional $4,000 for buildings
the income from the endowment will
pay the salaries in the beginning. 1t
is planned to start industries and to
sell lots for settlements. Thrifty
families will be induced to purchase
homes and thus make an ideal colored
settlement.
Can Other Land be Secured?
Yes, over 100 acres can be secured
at a reasonable rate.
Has Any Money Been Subscribed? !?
$4,000 has been promised provid-
ed SIoo,oco is raised within one
year.
We believe that the money you in
vest in this institution will begin to
show results at once and become
permanent investment.
