ber of skirmishes in the Philippine
Islands, after which he returned to
Washington. Until he went West on ac-

ARCHIBALD
HAS S|XTY-TH|RD
BIRTH ANNIVERSARY
Associate in Court of Com
merce Has Had Long
Career.

Today is the sixty-third birthday Of
Associate Justice Robert w. Archibald,
of the Court OF Commerce. This court
was organized by authority of act Of
Congress within the last year.
Judge Archibald was born in Carbon
dale, Pa, September 10. 1S4S. He was
graduated from Yale with highest hon.
ors in 1871, and was admitted to the bar
two years later. He began practice in
his home county, was appointed addi-
tionaI law judge in 1885. and served in
that capacity until 1855, when he was
made presiding judge. He held that
position when selected by President
Taft for the new Court Of Commerce.

BOON
FORGOVERNORFOSS
Of MASSACHUSETTS
He Can't Get Nomination,
But Is Vice Presidential
Possibility.

A new Democratic Presidential bsem
is about to be sprung to add TO the
gayety fthe contest for the nomination
to head the Democratic ticket next year.
This boom, one which gives promise
of having to be taken seriously, Is that
OF Gov. Eugene N. Foss, OF Massa-
chusetts.
Dispatches from Boston say that
posters were printed booming Governor
Foss for President and were ready for
circulation at the headquarters OF the
Democratic State committee yesterday.
Nobody knew who ordered them at
the State committee headquarters and
nobody would admit that the Foss sup
porters were afraid Gov. Judson Har-
mons welcome might be too enthus-
iastlc. The posters are printed and avail
able for circulation at political rallies.
They read:
For President, 1912,
Governor Eugene N. Foss,
of Massachusetts,.
The Peoples Champion"
II can now be safely said that Governor
Foss's Presidential boom is ready for
launching and might have been brought
out yesterday but for the downpour of
rain that postponed the Democratic
barbecue In Boston.
1t has been recognized here In WASH
ington for some tiIae tat Governor
Foss was hkely tn get into the race. 1t
Is not believed that Governor Foss
stands any show of being nominated,
though when II comes to the Vice Presi-
dency. however, Il src has been any
amount of serious talk of Foss.
Governor Foss is in some measure
handicapped by the fact he is new
convert to Democracy.

1910 Coal Output.

The production of coal in the United
States during 1910 was between AIS, ooo,-
600 and ASS ooo, 900 short tons. a Consid-
cradle increase from the output of 479,-
7G5,7o4 short tons in 1909 and approx
malely within one per cent of the maxi
mum previous record of 4So, 363,424 tons
produced in 1907.
"Of the total production in 1910 the
anthracite mines of Pennsylvania contrl-
buted nearly $1,000, 600 short tons and
the luminous mines between 800, 900, :
oo3 and 400. 600, 900 tons
This estimate was made from reports
received by the United States geological
survey from coal mine operators and
others familiar with the industry. In its
report the geological survey says:
The statistics for the last few years
indicate that any decided increase in the
production of anthracite coal is not to be
expected. Anthracite is becoming more
and more a luxury and this tendency
will continue and be more pronounced
as deeper and thinner beds are worked
have naturally resulted in gradual ad-
vance in price and in a gradual elimlna
ton Of anthracite as fuel for nanuiac
turing purposes.
