Washington, July 9.--The produc'

according to E. ". Parker. in
statement issued by the United States
Geological Survey. WAS 59.S3I5S0
short tons, valued at $53,670,515
West Virginia, for the last three
years the second in rank among the
coal-producing States, stands almost
alone in one particular-the low av-
erage price at which its coal, some of
it the highest grade bitumlnous coal
produced in the United States, brings
to the producer. The only State that
compares with West Virginia in this
particular is Virginia, whose coal
areas in the southwestern part of the
State are contiguous 10 those OF south
ern West Virginia, the conditions af-
fecting the production and marketing
of the product OF both States being
similar. Neither State has any well
developed local markets, and at least
so per cent of the output is shipped to
distant points for consumption. The
highest average price for West Virgin
ia coal recorded in the last eight years
was in the boom year, 1907, when it
reached 80 cents a short ton. In 1911
the average price for West Virginia
coal was 80 cents
Illinois An Object Lesson.
A comparison of these prices with
those obtained in some of the other
important coal-producing States plac-
es West Virginia in an unfayorable

by West Virginia in 1909. was second
in rank of output. supplies fuel to i'm
portant manufacturing communities
within its borders or in the imme-
diately adjacent territory. Although
the grade OF it's product is consider
able below that of West Nirginias
the average price for Illinois coal has
ranged from $1O5 to $1.14 short ton
about 20 per cent higher than that
obtained for West Virginia coal. Com
| parsons with Alabama are still more

most of its coal During the last eight
years the average price has ranged

Production In 1911 Was Normal.
West Virginia, like the other coal
producing States outside of the Mis-
sissippi Valley region, protited by the
strike in that region in 1910. Its
production gained nearly 100000
tons over 1909, with an increase in
value of more than $12,0OO,00O. With
uninterrupted work in the other
! States in 1911 the decrease in the
| production OF West Virginia was to
be expected. The decrease 1S39,439
tons) was relatively small, however
and the production compared with
that of the years preceding 1910,

a separate State there have been

Devil biplane at Mineola, took Miss
Grace Hadley, of Richmond, Indiana
on a flight 1000 feet high and gave
her a jaunt over the various Long
Island villages that lasted more than
thirty minutes.
Peoli is the youngster whom Cap
tain Baldwin brought out with rapid
ity which is unparalleled in the an
nails of aviation. Within few days
big flights. He is considered one of
the most skillful aviators who ever
appeared on Long Island.
Before taking up Miss Hadley he
made a flight with his mechanician,
Arthur Stone. After swinging around
the field for ten minutes he took up
William Heina, another aviator. Then
he invited Miss Hadley to take a
flight in the craft. That she had no
fear was shown by the way she took
her seat. AS the craft left the ground
she waved her hand to the spectators.
Peoli set his craft at steep climb
ing angle and began to ascend rapidly.
Without the slightest deviation the
aeroplane rose steadily until it dimmed
away in the low hanging clouds.
After making a wide circle of the
field the boy set out to circle around
the country. He took his craft over
the new Hampstead field, Westbury,
Hicksville, Garden City, and finally
came whizzing back over Mineola. AS
he shot over Mineola Court House he
made beautiful volplane and played
pranks over the housetops of the viii
lage. Then he rose again and winged
his way over the field and brought
the machine down with a series of
pretty circles.

Every voter in Indiana is to be con-

WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-President
Taft in a veto message to congress
today upon the 80 per cent wool bill.
indicated that no reduction lower than
S5 per cent will meet his approval
The President urges strongly on
congress the necessity of passing
bill which will offset the differences
between the cost of production OF raw
wool here and abroad.
He says: Il strongly desire to re-
duce duties provided that the protec-
ton system be maintained and the in
dustries now established be not de-
stroyed.
Il appeal to congress to reconsider
this measure which I now return with
out my approval and adopt a substi-
tute therefor. making substantial re-
ductions without destroying any es-
tablished industry, which will
promptly approve.
'In view of the platform on which
was elected and in view of my prom
ise to maintain a protective policy.

hold my approval from this bill. 1 am

Asks for Revision.
He recommends that the revision
be made from the data furnished by
the tariff board and urges that Con-
gress do not adjourn until such ac-
tion is taken. The message continues:
"On December 20, 1911. sent a mess
age to the congress recommending a
prompt revision of the tariff on wool
and woolens. i urged a reduction of
duties which should remove all the
excesses and inequalities of the sche-
dule. but should leave q degree of
protection adequate to maintain the
continued employment of machinery

great industry. With that message
Transmitted a report of the tariff
board which furnished for the first

a revision bill of this character and
recommended that legislation should
be at once undertaken In the light of
this information
Instead of such a measure of thor
ough and genuine revision. based on
full information of the facts and with
rates properly adjusted to all the diff
ferent stages Of the industry. there
is now presented for my approval a
bill identical with the one which
vetoed in August, 1911, before the re-
port of the tariff board was made. The
tariff boards report fully and COM
pletely justified my veto of that date" /"
