DECLINE IN GOLD OUTPUT;
IMPORTS SHOW INCREASE
Iron Ore Production Showed Big
Falling Off During
Past Year.

If increased gold production has an up
ward effect on the cost Of living, as is
claimed by many political economists.
then there is some hope for the public in
the gold situation this year, according
to the report of the geological survey
just issued There was,a slight decrease
in the amount of gold produced in this
country and Alaska. not much. but some.
There also was large excess of gold
imports over exports. and this too was in
contrast to the previous year. The total
domestic gold output, according to the
preliminary figures of the director of the
mint, is s96, 23s33 5oS compared with $685.
269, 100 in 1910. The import of gold, in
cluding ore, domestic and foreign coin
and bullion, was So6.2 30, 100 and Increase
Of imports over exports of about $1j.5OO.-
NlO against the previous year. The excess
of imports over exports of gold for 1910
was less than half million dollars, while
i'm 1869 the excess of exports over imports
was SSS 100000
The gold mining industry generally in
the United States was In a fairly prosper
Gus condition. There was an increase IN
the silver production over the previous
year, the total being 81. 796 III fine ounces.
The average price was o3 cents per nle
ounce, decline of a cent from the
previous year.
The same report of the survey gives
the gold and silver production of the
country by states. and in considerable de-
tail for the benefit Of those interested in
the industry.
The iron ore production of the United
States. also compiled by the geological
survey from the reports of twenty-six
producers representing 50 per cent Of the
total output. show that the total iron
production was between 43,OOO,OO and
rs, O00,OOO long tons. This is a decrease
of from ~ to - per cent against the
preyious year There were also large
stocks of iron from the previous year left
over at the mines. Compared with this
large decrease the decreases in Tennes-

AUDITOR DENT REPORTS
HIS VIEWS UPON BILLS
Tells Court Which He Consid-
ers ChargeabIe to StiIson
Hutchins Estate.

Louis A. Dent, auditor Of the District
Supreme Court, today filed a report on
the bills which he considers are charge
able Ito the estate OF Stilson Hutchins,
and the payment Of which he recon-
mends to the court. The auditor wishes
more time to consider the question of
law involved in the bills of DR.. Will
liam Gerry Morgan and DIR. 2. T. Sow
ers. and instead of reporting adversely
on them. as he indicated few days
ago, he withholds mis- recommendation
concerning them.
Another change made by the auditor
in the report. as forecasted in The Star
Wednesday,, Is that the claim OF Cuttings
e. Chamberlin for money advanced to
held for further consideration.
The recommends ton for payment of
the repair bills to Mrs. Hutchins' resi-
dence and Of bills for her personal uses
are made by the auditor, as stated in
Wednesdays Star.
Explains Apparent Change of View.
Mr. Dent explains the apparent change
of his mind in regard to the outstand-
ing bills. which in his previous report
he recommended should be paid by Mrs.
Hutchins and which he now says the
u uSLcc SlOuVu p0y Wy uA eSlHlb hIeShshoA
to the fact that when making the former
recommendation he placed the monthly
allowance of Mrs. Hutchins at $500.
Since the court has seen fit to reduce
this to 5000 the auditor is of opinion
that this amount does not allow of the
wife paying Off the bills which he had
expected her to settle with the additional
$500 monthly he had recommended.
Proposed Limitation on Expenses.
Without disclosing his views in the mat
ter, Mr.. Dent directs the courts atten-
tion to the suggestion of the trustee that
if the estate settles the back bills some
Limitation should be placed on Mrs. Hut
chins by the court, whereby she might
not incur bills in excess of her monthly
allowance in the future. The Paris bills,
the claim of DIR. Smith Ely Jeliffe for
81 900 and certain local accounts which
have not been proved before the auditor
are retained for further consideration.

STORIES Of WITNESSES
CALLED ExACCERAT|ONS
Colorado Sugar Beet Land
lord Testifies Before the
HardWick Committee.

A L. Gibson. a Longmont, Col, real
estate man and sugar beet landlord. oc-
cupied the witness stand when the
Hardwick sugar investigation commit
tee resumed its hearing today. Mr.. Glib
son was sent to Washington by his COM
munity to deny the stories that have
been told to the committee describing
the labor conditions Of the beet fields as
bad and the relations Of the farmers and
the sugar refiners as unpleasant.
Mr. Gibson says he represents the gen.
eral sentiment OF the sugar beet grow
ers. and they are satisfied with the
treatment afforded them by the sugar
mill owners. He was cross-examined
by Representatives Hardwick and Baker.
who sought to show by him that there
had been friction and that alien labor
was employed. The witness admitted
these facts. but declared the testimony
Of the dissatisfied beet farmers was an
exaggeration.
Mr.. Gibson discussed the extent Of the
growth of his section in Colorado. and de.
clared that the politics Of Colorado was
in bad condition. He told Of increased
bank deposits, more banks. greater popu
lation. He attributed much OF this boon
to the beet-sugar-growing industry. He
furnished list Of beet growers who own
their farms, including several Russians
and other foreigners. The hand labor Of
the farms. he sa d. was so profitable thai
many OF the laborers became tenants ant
ultimately owners Of their own farms and
employers Of labor.
Denies Control by Trust.
Mr. Gibson took issue with a witnes:
who had stated that the so-called sugar
trust controls Colorado politics and news
papers.
THAT is absolutely false" he said. 1.-THE
politics Of my country Is not what il
should be or what we would like it,
II thought politics would be clean ou
there" said Chairman Hardwick. 1.-THE
women vote there"
That doesn't spell anything" said ths
witness.

married, gave the committee some unique

Balkan Allies Advancing.

Thus far In the Balkan-Turkish cam
paign there has been an almost uninter-
rupted course Of victories for the allies
The most important movement has been
that of the Bulgar-Serb advance upon
Adrianople. which. while not yet result
ing in the fall of that important position,
has nevertheless yielded results fully
Gemonstrative of superior soldiery on the
aggressive side. At latest accounts the
allied armies had taken possession of the
town of Eski-Baba. which lies southeast
of Adr:anople within ten miles of the rail-
way line to Constantinople. This men,
aces the communications of the Turks
and threatens Constantinople itself. The
fall of Adr.anople Is now likely, and un-
less the allies are seriously reversed they
are in position to strike a mortal blow
at the Turk IN short time. So success
full. indeed, has been the campaign not
only in the east, but in the west and
south, where the Serbs and Greeks have
respectively been Operating. that there is
now talk of intervention by the powers
to restore peace. The allies, however
Are in a position to continue their cam
paign from a military point of view. The
only question as to their position is one
OF finances. Thus far no statement has
been made as to the source or size of
their war funds. The vigor with which
they have pressed the fighting suggests
that they realize the need of a short and
comparatively Inexpensive campaign.

Three lives have been sacrificed in the
streets OF Washington in a period of as
many days. In each case a motor car.
apT arently driven carefully. has struck
a girl or a woman and death has re-
suited after q few hours. In one case
the mishap occurred In the crowded bust
ness section. an elderly woman becom-
ing confused in the press Of traffic In
the second instance a woman of middle
age was struck at a less crowded but
much used corner while trying to cross
the street. In the third and latest in
stance a little girl was hit as she was
passing from curb to street car when the
street was otherwi-e practically unoccu-
pied There is no disposition apparently
IN any OF these cases to lay blame upon
the motorist on the score OF reckless
driving.
Probably all of these will be formally
declared to have been accidental and
unavoidable. Yet the concurrence of the
three fatalities necessarily impresses the
public with the danger that turks In the

necessary to the education Of a law. the
law would have been more carefully con-

ranks Of the majority would have re-
quired nice adjustment.
But in the House Mr.. Payne could
spare a number of votes and still have
enough to pass a bill. while in the Senate
Mr.. Aldrich-an expert craftsman and
tactician-was strong enough to do. and
did, what he pleased. The republican
kickers kicked, but kicked against the
pricks. They were not numerous enough
to make any impression on the actual
situation.
And not only that. The republicans
since 1896 had been laboring under an
embarrassment of riches. Everything had
been coming their way. One House after
another had been won by them. and the
presidency four times running. They had
grown to despise their opponents. and
those opponents, SO long under the har-
row, had come to feel that there was
some ground for the appraisement
At last the crash came. The series OF
large majoriies had engendered over
confidence and internal strife, and the
party paid its first penalty in November,
