ther testimony regarding the Alaskan
coal fields occupied the time of the
Ballinger investigation today. Alfred
Brooks. the meteorological expert. tes-
titled that the coal mines of this coun-

five thousand years at the present rate
of consumption. This is exclusive of
Alaska
Brooks said figuring at the pres
ent rate of increase of the consump-
tion the vailable supply of coal will
be exhausted in from one hundred to
two hundred years. The witness said
the value of the Alaskan coal fields
is exaggerated. 1t is estimated that
the coal at present is worth only half
a cent a ton in the ground. The at
torney for CLAWS cited the report of
the expert for the Guggenheims say
ing the coal is valued at from two to
five cents a ton.

1sHT
ON THE \ ARDS TODAY

Los Angeles Cal, April 9.-"Noth-
petent on today's fight at Vernon be-
tween Sam Langford, the colored
boxer, and Jim Barry, the Chicago
heavyweight. While the mill is
scheduled to last twenty-five rounds,
it is the general opinion that the ne
gro will take Barry's measure in
much less time. The fight will be the
ninth between Barry and Langford.
Langford has two knockouts to his
credit over Barry, and has always been
able to hold the Chicago heavyweight
safe. Langford's easy victory over
Flynn makes the local fans skeptical
of Barrys ability to cope with the
Cave Man.
1t was Barry who asked for long
fight, despite Langford's recent easy
victory over Jim Flynn. Langford
has beaten Barry several times, but
the white man, having the advantage
of height, reach and weight, as Flynn
also had, believes that he can over
come the negro's superior general
ship in a battle of more than ten
rounds
After this fight Langford will go
east to train for his six round bout
with Stanley Ketchell in Philadelphia
on April 81 1t is said that they
will fight at one of the Quaker base
ball parks. where $4,000 persons can
look on. As Ketchel will receive
$10,0e0 guarantee, the promoters will
have to take in big money at the rate
as Langford's share will be steep and
the club certainly wants to cut up
some snug profits.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-09-16

Hon. Henry l. Wheelan of Rock Is
land is probably renominated as the
democratic candidate for the legisla-
ture in the Thirty-third senatorial dis
trict by a margin of so votes. There
are yet a number of country precincts
to be heard from, mostly in Mercer and
Henderson counties, where it is to be
expected that Sloan will have the ad-
vantage. Using the basis from the fig
ures at hand, Mr.. Wheelan will win,
but by very slight margin.
Elected or defeated, Mr.. Wheelan
has reason to feel proud of the verdict
of his home people in the face of the
vicious attacks that have been made
upon his record in the legislature in
his first term.
Mark for Attacks
The batteries of the Legislative Vot-
ers' league of Illinois turned upon him,
as were those of the Anti-Saloon
league and the prohibitionist organiza-
tons, the latter simply because Mr.
Wheelan had declared to put himself
in the extremists column on questions
affecting the regulation of the liquor
traffic, and the former for the reason
that the Rock Island candidate had
been exploited in connection with the
republican organization fight ia Cook
county, where there is a movement to
destroy William E. Lorimer politically.
Mr.. Wheelan was guilty of one error in
connection with the legislative graft
scandal, and that was in answering the
summons of the Cook county prose
cutor to appear before the grand Jury
there Every utterance of Mr.. Vince
