court instructed Jones 10 answer all
questions. adding that according TO a
decision of the supreme court of the
United States, witness before the
grand jury is immune from indict-

The court also held the city election

Jones cannot be questioned about hap

STATE TAX COMMISSION.
Many Hearings Will Be Held by Board
This Month.

Lansing, Mich, Feb. The Sec
ond week In February will be busy
one In the state tax commission offices
In Lansing. A number of hearings
viii bo held.
There does not appear to be so
great a number to the corporation that
desire hearings to review their assess
ments this year as last This may be
due to the fact that last year was
the first year telephone companies
were assessed, and as there were sew
eral hundred OF them and the assesses
ment plan was new to a great many Of
the smaller companies, a greater num-
Der requested hearings than this wear.
The railroad companies are not fill
ing so many complaints this year as
last, and although most of the larg-
er lines have requested days set aside
for their hearings yet the total num-
ber will be less than last year.
The express companies desire the
reviewing of their assessments be
given especial attention. All of the
companies operating in the state have
requested hearings.
Tho assessed valuation of the rail
road companies was not increased
greatly this year, but the express COM
panies were given several increases
and there is general wall going up
I'm their ranks.
1t is generally conceded the rail-
road companies intend to fight their
case in the Legislature this session and
1t Is known they have prepared a mass
of figures and data with which to de-
fend their side of the argument. If
redress is not obtained i'm the legisla-
ture the matter will no doubt be
thresheG out I'm the courts. for the
railroad companies say they are over
assessed i'm comparison to the general
properties of the state.
No telegraph companies have as yet
made application for a hearing, and It
is believed they are satisfied with
their assessments as made by the
state tax commission.

and died in Vienna at the early age of

Anent the discussion aroused over
the bill introduced i'm the legislature to

these methods may be improved upon
Much has been written of the mad
equacy OF present methods OF dealing
with minor offenders. and that the
present system needs reformation is
admitted by all students of criminol-
ogy. Because the large majority of
offenders against the laws of the state
belong To this class, the problem is an
important one. For example, out of
SO,O63 persons who were prosecuted
in Michigan at county expense dur

1,S29 were dealt with for felonies.
Present methods of dealing with

Is A PATHETIC FIGURE.
FriendIess chinaman at Portland is
Under Sentence Of Death.

Portland. ore. Feb. IA pathetic
figure in the county Jail here is Lum
Woon, a friendless Chinaman. under
sentence Of death for participating i'm
Highbinder riots that caused the
death Of Lee Tai Huey. In the very
shadow OF the gallows during the past
year. Lum Woon has been siezed with
a thirst for knowledge and has learn
ed to read and write the English Ian
guage fuently.
Spelling over a tattered primer
while the courts were grinding on his
case, Lum Won seemed a peculiarly
helpless and forlorn creature. His
jailers realized he would be probably
be hanged and they could not see his
reason for learning a new language.
With the stolidity and patience of his
race, Lum Woon studied on, mastering
CAT and DOG Of the PRIMER and
progressing TO the first reader and
then to other boks. He has read a
large part of the Jail library and he
writes we'll. He has carried on COM
munications with his attorneys in
their own language and he reads and
apparently understands the orders of
the court in his case.
BY the decision Of the Supreme
Court, just rendered, Lum Woon is
denied a new trial and must pay the
penalty of his crime by being hanged.
Yee Gueng, another Chinaman, who
has been held in the murderers cell
under sentence of death for particle
pating in the shooting Of Lee Tai
Huey, has been granted a new trial.
New Years Day Yee Gueng declared
he was going to cut off his queue and
change his luck. He tried to persuade
Lum Woon to do the same but the
latter refused to depart from the trad
ition of his fore re-fathers. Lee Gueng
parted with his queue and attributes
his good luck to this fact.

COAL MINING
IN MICHIGAN
ONE OF SIX STATES WI c n
SHOW DECREASE IN PRO-
DUCTION OF THIS
FUEL.

During the ten years preceding
1909 the development of coal l-mining
properties in Michigan was emerge
tically carried forward until, as has
been the record in many other dis
tricts. the ability to produce exceeded
the capacity to absorb the product.
As o result of this condition and also
Of active competition of Goals from
other States, driven by the dullness
i'm the iron trade to seek new mar
kets. number of the coal mines In
Michigan were forced to close in
1909. The effect is exhibited in a de-
crease i'm production from 1,S35,019
short tons in 1908 to 1.7S4,692 tons in
1909. The difference was not great,
only a little more than $4,000 tons, or
less than 3 per cent, but it's signih-
canoe lies in the fact that 1909 was
year of general increase in produce
ton, and Michigan was one of but six
States in which the tonnage won in
1909 was less than I'm 1908. The value
of the product declined from s3.322.-
904 to $3.109,351, u loss of $123,553, or
81 per cent.
The Main Output.
The larger part of the coal produced
In Michigan is derived from Bay and
Saginaw counties and is nearly equal
ly divided between the two, Bay
County producing I'm 1909 S22,577 short
tons and Saginaw County S59,434 tons.
The aggregate for the two counties
was 1.6S2,0l1 short tons. or "a per
cent of the total for the State. The
other counties In which coal was pro-
duced were Clinton, Eaton, Ingham,
Jackson. Shiawassee. and Tuscola, the
aggregate production of which in 1909
was 102,6S1 short tons.
Men and Machines.
The coal mines of Michigan gave
employment i'm 1909 to 3,496 men,
against 4,247 men I'm 1908. The aver
age production per man was 432 tons
in 1908 and $40 tons in 1909. During
1909 there were 1O1 machines used in
the underwriting of the coal. and of
the total of 1,7S4,692 short tons pro-
duced 511.s95 tons. or 2s.7 per cent.
were machine mined. In 1908 120 ma
