CARGO OF coal
BROUGHT up THE
MONONCRHEjLA
Marion Officers
Win Unique
Distinction

Deputy Sheriff NJ. w. Harris was
the captain and Deputy Sherin. George
Ii. Shoemaker was mate on the first
cargo of coal ever brought up the Mo.
nongahela river from MorEantown.
The officers had great experience In
getting five burges from lock No. 10
to Beechwooi. where the coal was tied
UP. The boat that did the towing was
the John F. Kline. of Pfttsburg.
1t was Saturday afternoon that n
warrant was sworn out before Justice
L. S. Amos charging Thomas Bolanh
with stealing five barges OF coal 10 the
value OF one thousand dollars. goods
and chattels of the Parker Run Conf
and Coke Conlpeny. When the officials
of the Parker Run Coal and Coke Com
nany learned that their cnal was going
down the river. being towcd by the
John +. Kline. they got busy and soon
had n writ in the hands OF the officers
The officers got into communication
with the people down the river and
from what they cdutl learn they were
led to believe that the tow and barges
were near the PENNSYLVANIA line. and
they had about come to the conclusion
that the word had come tco late for
them to recover the coal. When the
train came I'm from lIorgantown a
Fairmont woman reported that she
haE Il hn tx,r
miles above Morgantown. The officers
boarded The two-fffieen train and beat
the boat to Morsantown. When the
John f. Kline steamed into the lower
rievr town the officers took her in
custody and notified BolAnd and hia
crew that the men were wanted in
F1irmont ITO answer tle warrant that
the officers served.
The John r. Kline. now under the
command OF Capt Harris. started To
chnrn the waters OF the Mononahegla,
bringing tne cargo OF coal south. The
John T. Kline tugged way at pushinz
the coal TIP stream and ut three O'Clock
yesterday afternoon the barges were
tied TIP at Beechwood The officers re.
ported their success to the sherIff's
office. and also told OF their progress
In bringing the first cargo OF coal
south. The officers were directed TO
tie up the barges and to let Boland
and his men 60 In accordance with
the instructions the barges were tied
up. and the John F. Kline was once
more making her way north. The case
against Bolanh was dismissed.
There was no criminal intent in the
action OF Bnland and his men. He
WAS only conveying the coal to Penn
sylvania TO another coal company. The
transactions OF the two coal companies
Is Il matter that is between them. and
that part was not given out. All that
the local company cared for was thl,
recovery OF the coal.

WASHINGTON. March 14.-Wh.n
President Taft leaves Washington to-
morrow he will start an ciaht.eiay trip
which may prove to be one of the
most important Of his official life. Hs
"hl make only one speech bearing
upon legislation sought by the admin.

the talk on conservation he will max.
in Chicago on Thursday, March II.
In addition to further defining the ad-
nfhistration's conservation policy
and incidentally showing how the Pres
ident now stands with regard to the
Balllnger-Pinchut eontroversy-this
talk may also cause realignment OF
Republican forces In Illinois. In view
of recent Developments In that State
in the waterway department of conser-
walton, the Presidents talk WI prove
OF great importance in the fight De-
tween Governor Charles S. Deneen and
Senator William Lorimcr. The junior
senator succeeded In blocking the gov
errors efforts to secure State water
way legislation at the recent extra
session of the Illinois Legislature; his
plea YVES that the State should not
spend The Sco,ooo,ooO voted by the peo-
pie for deep waterway construction
until after the National Government
had taken steps to cooperate In the
work. The view of the administration
with respect to such cooperation, beth
in Illinois and in other States, is ex.
pected to be more clearly defined by
the Presidents talk. II is known that
the administration holds 1t wiI be dan
gerous to neglect conservation !eais.

rt's Chicago speech will show that
he has receded from his position taken
last winter when he declared against
a comprehensive waterway plan, and
in favor of doing the work by piece

vatfon speech narrowly escaped net

sibillty that it might result In 4 per

the Chicago committee of the National
Conservation Association invited the
President ta he the principal speaker
at conservation mass meeting in the
afternoon OF the same day. The Pres:-
dent was about to accept when he
learned that MIR. pinehot might also be
one of the speakers. The Chicago
committee assured the President that
there wouiu be no embarrassment
from ccinrident talks. President Taft
will go first to New York where he
will speak to the Military Order OF
Foreign Wars, then to Chicago. He
will spend Saturday and Sunday as the
