for his bride when he gets one.
Other boys are doing this, too,

and weighs but 2G pounds.
Young Bates is known as the
"Baby Hercules" and is utilizing,
through his father. the fact that he
is stronger than any other boy of
his age in the country, to provide for
his future.
When Bates, now Pembroke
farmer, but once a member of the
California Legislature. saw his child
pick up a baby rocker and two fiat
irons off the floor. he wondered at
his strength. Then he discovered
that the little fellow could lift near

country.
Little Thomas next posed before

MAINE DESTROYED
BY HER MAGAZINES
Says Gen. BiXby, After An
Investigation.
HE BELIEVES THE EXPLOSION
Was From Within-OutS;de
Blow Could Not Inflict
Such Disaster.
AN ETERNAL NAVAL MYSTERY

Washington, July THE loss of
the battleship Maine was caused by
the explosion of her three maya
zines. No such effect as that pro-
duced upon the vessel could have
been caused by an explosion from
without. Such is the opinion of
Gen. William II. Bixby, Chief of En-
gineers, L. S. A., who has returned
after a personal inspection of the
work of raising the Maine.
Gen. Bixby said tonight that q
portion of the deck over the maya
zines was blown upward and laid
backward, ard that there were nu-
merous conditions of the hulk as it
lays in Havana harbor which proved
this. No explosion from the outside.
said the General, could have caused
the same result.
What the primary cause of the
explosion was" said Gen. Bixby,
never will be learned"
Gen. Bixby does not believe that
the bodies of those who lost their
lives will be found on the Maine. He
says they are probably buried 200
feet or more from the wreck in the
mud.
While inspecting the work Gen.
Bixby prodded around the bow of
the vessel. He found by his sound
ings that AT least two-thirds of the
bow was absolutely wrecked. The
sides had been practically blown
away and were buried in the mud.
This, he said, showed conclusively
that the wreck of the Maine was
caused by an explosion within the
vessel.
The great caisson built around
the wreck of the Maine has met ev-
cry expectation of its designers, in
the opinion of Gen. Bixby. The off,
Ger explained the delays in the work
on the ground that it was necessary
that the wreck be exposed by easy
stages. More time than had been
expected was expended after the first
pumping. in clearing away debris
and mud, he added.

HAUL LOOT AWAY
Robbers Make a Raid On
Town of Stanley.
SECURE MONEY AND STAMPS
At Post 0ffice-AlSO Enter
Crops StOre-Alarm
Is Sent Out.
POSTAL INSPECTORS NOTIFIED

At an unknown hour Thursday
night of last week robbers entered
the post-ofice at Stanley and stole
large Tumber of stamps and four
dollars IN cash. They also entered
the general merchandise store of A.
H. Crop and appropriated a guam
THY OF meat, lard, -four, canned
goods and several hats, shirts and
pairs of shoes. So far the thieves
have made good their escape with
out leaving any clews behind them.
The losses were not discovered until
early Wednesday morning.
An entrance was effected at the
post-ofice by tearing out one of the
small pine panels of the side door.
The robbers left the building by the
same door, after unlocking it from
the inside. The cash drawer was
looted of a small amount of money,
and carriers case of the rural car
rier for route No. 2 was robbed of
something like 81 in cash and SO in
two and one cent stamps. BY pick
ing the lock of the door between the
post-office and the ten-cent store,
the robbers entered the latter place,
but nothing was found missing.
The mercantile store of Crop
was broken into from the rear,
where the robbers broke a window
lock, and hoisted the window, but
they made their exit by the rear
door of the building. 1t is thought
that they had lamp lighted in this
building, as one was found near the
rear of the store, which had all APP
pearances that 1t had been used hur-
riedly.
Evidently the robbers attempted
TO open the safe. which contained a
large amount OF money, as the day
lock of the larger doors had been
worked, but the combination of the
inside vault had not been success
fully worked.
Upon entering the store Wednes-
day morning Mr.. Crop found tracks
on the store floor made by bare
feet, and there were wagon tracks
at the rear door, thus causing him
to believe there were two or three
in the gang. and that a wagon was
used in hauling off the loot.
The greensboro police were noti-
fed Immediately upon the discovery
of the robbery, as were the county
officials. and Postmaster James Hill
notified the federal postal authori-
ties OF the robbery and every effort
was made to. catch the thieves.

in the other districts were due chief
ly to the increasing development of
mining operations in the Eastern
field.
Compared with that for 1900,
the output for 1910 shows a gain of
9,699.336 tons, or an increase of
over 1913 per cent. in annual pro-
duction within the ten years. The
increase over 1906 was 6,67O,363
tons, or a gain of SO per cent. in
yearly output within the last FIVE
years.

ed in Kentucky, and yet, because of
lack of manufacturing enterprises,
the increase In the home consump-
ton is relatively slow. OF the out
put for 1910. S,SOO,6S2 tons were
reported as shipped to other States,
and it is probable that the actual
tonnage so shipped somewhat ex-
ceeded that amount.
1.-The ranks of the ten leading
counties according to commercial
output in 1910, was as follows:
Muhlenberg, Hopkins, Bell, Whit
ley, Webster, Pike, Ohio. Knox,
Union and Johnson. Muhlenberg has
occupied first place since and includ-
ing 1908; up to that year Hopkins
held the position continuously by a
large margin, for more than thirty
years.
The progress of mining in Muh-
lenberg during the last ten years
has been notable. In 1900 the coun-
ty produced 4OO,5S1 tons; this grew
to 1,O44.4O2 tons in 1905, and to
2.S49,69O in 1910.
1.-The total selling value of the
commercial coal, at the mines, was
S14,541, 6O4, giving an average val
ne of 1913 cents ton for the State.
The average values, at mines, ac-
cording to districts, were: For the
Western. 9O.2S cents ton; for the
Southeastern. s1.11S4; and for the
Northeastern, $1.O67O ton.
THE tonnage of commercial coal
for 1910 was produced by 269 min
ing concerns. The maximum num-
Der of persons employed Immediate
ly at the mines was $3.50, of
whom 1853 worked underground.
Compared with those for 1909,
The figures show an increase of g.

p'oves. and of 2,2O4 in the average
number employed underground.
THE year 1910. in the number of
fatal accidents. was the most disas-
trous in the history of coal mining
In Kentucky. This was due to three
explosions, as the result of which
fifty persons lost their lives. The
of fatalities from all causes
was eighty-four, all but one of which
occurred underground. Forty-fYe
wives were made widows and nine

43 Per Cent.
FATAL ACCIDENTS KILLED so

Frankfort, KY, July SC. j..
Norwood, Chief Inspector of Mines,
has submitted his annual report for
the calendar year of 1910. The re-
port in part is as follows:
For statistical purposes, the
Kentucky coal fields are divided into
three districts, namely: The West
ern. which includes all counties in
the Western coalfield; the South
eastern, which includes Bell, Har-
Ian, Jackson, Knox, Laurel, Pulaski,
Pockcastle, Wayne and Whitley
Counties, and the Northeastern,
which at present includes all other
counties in the Eastern coalfeld.
1.-THE coal statistics reported by
this Office refer only to the CONNER
cial mines. which term includes not
only shipping mines but such OF
those that employ an average OF
more than five persons underground
as are of commercial Importance To-
cally. The number of the latter
mines is quite small.
''The production of commercial
coal for the calendar year, 1910
amounted to 14,720,O11 short tons.
This was by far the largest output
known in the annals of mining in
the State. OF the total amount,
76.1Os tons were of camel, produc-
ed by mines in Bell, Breathitt,
johnson and Morgan counties.
"The production by districts was

PROMISES KEPT
BY DEMOCRATS
In Congress, is the Record
Being Made.
so DECLARES SPEAKER CLARK
Democratic Policies Are Be-
ing Put Into National
Legislation.
ARE GOING ON DOWN THE LINE


(By Tavenner, Special Washington
Correspondent of The Herald.)
Washington, July S.-"The young
members of the House are working
like veterans. The present House
is one that no Democrat, or any 9TH
err American citizen, need apologize
for. believe that the country thor
oughly appreciates this, too"
Thus declared Speaker Champ
Clark. "The Democrats in the
House are fighting good fight"
continued the Speaker, as he looked
up from a desk piled high with cor
respondence, reports of investigat-
ing committees, and an assortment
of books sufficient to serve an or
binary man as complete library.
Continuing he said:
I'VE are fulfilling as rapidly and
as literally as possible every prom
Use made to the people.
1--WE promised in the Denver plat
form to reform the rules of the
House, and we have done it. That
is an accomplished fact.
I'VE promised the people that we
would submit proposition to
amend the Constitution to permit
the people to vote direct for United
States Senators. The House prompt
ly passed such measure.
1--WE promised to pass a bill COM
Polling the publication of campaign
expenses before the elections. That
has been done.
1--WE promised to admit New Mex
leo and Arizona. We have done our
best to bring about that. 1t is up
to the Senate.
I'VE promised to cut down the
disbursements of the Government.
We have already made a beginning
by abolishing more than one hun
bred useless Offices in and about the
House of Representatives, thereby
saving $4,000 annually. This is
only an earnest of what we will &C
complish.
I'VE are living up to the Jeffer-
sonian doctrine of economy in the
public expense, that labor may be
lightly burdened.' No doubt we
will be sneered at by spendthrifts as
but hard-headed, SEN
sible folk will indorse our action,
because 1t deserves to be Endorsed.
1--WE promised to repeal the tariff
on wood pulp, print paper, lumber,
timber and logs and that those arti-
cles would be placed on the free list.
So far as the Democratic House is
concerned that pledge has been full
filled in the Reciprocity bill and the
Farmers Free List bill which
sleeps in the Republican Senate.
''Twenty-six Republicans voted
for the Underwood wool bill. 1t
had a majority of 1871. My predic-
ton is that it will pass the Senate !
and become law and prove to be of
vast benefit to the American people /
by cheapening the cost to the con-
sumner.
THAT is not ALL" continued Mr.. !
Clark. I'VE are going on down the |
line. We will take up cotton next,
and then steel and sugar and other !
We are getting to a
tariff for revenue basis. That is J.
Democratic doctrine. II the Senate /
will do its duty the people will be /
greatly benefited by this session"

paper, will make their balances

These are among the testing ar

using to discover the heat and power
values of our coal supplies. He has
all sorts of instruments which deter
mine the amount Of moisture and ash
in each ton of fuel, and just how
much work it will do.
1t used to be that coal was bought
upon the reputation Of the mine from
which it came. The price was so
much per ton. and the manufacturer
or domestic consumer thought nothing
of the ashes and moisture. Today
the country is fast coming to esti-
mate the coal by heat units, and this
is the basis upon which all Govern
ment purchases are made. We are
now spending something like $40
00G, 600 a year for the fuel used by
the army and navy and the various
Government departments, and it
is through such tests that we are
saving at least s200, 600 over the cost
of the same coal ip the past.
The great factories and foundries
are beginning to buy their coal the
same way, and the bureau Of mines
will eventually be able to show every
man just where he can get his fuel
The cheapest. and what price he
should pay for the kinds needed for
his special plant. 1t will also give
such information that every man who
buys coal for his home will know Just
what to buy, and how to burn it to
get the aest and most economical
