trical power. The Connecticut and
other rivers are going the same way.
When ever a noted scientist like
DIR Steinmetz announces that the coal
supply is very limited and going fast
there is always someone to dispute
the fact. The United States Geologi-'
cal Survey has recently issued its an
nual coal chart showing the produc-
ton of coal by states from the yeaP
1914 to 1910. The figures relate a
wonderful history of its growth and
with what rapdity We are consuming
our coal supply.
In 1914 a total of % tons of coal was
produced in Pennsylvania. In 1873
the percentage of increase was good
but still only so tons were taken out.
BY 1925 over 100000 tons were mined
in the two states producing In 1850
the figure had reached 7O1S,lS1 tons.
In 1876 it was 53,2SO,OOO tons. At the
end of the century it was 269,6S4,027
tons. In 1905 it was 392,722,635 tons.
In 1907, which it was supposed would
remain the record year for some time,
the production was 1870, 1863, 424 tons, but
in 1910 the enormous total was reach
ed of sol, 596,37S short tons. a produc-
ton larger by far than that of any
other country in the world. So steady
has been the increase in American
coal production that most Of the years
have been record breakers. The total
production since 1914 has been about
$3.50, 100000 tons.

Special TO the NetCS
Washington, March 16.-While there
is very little going on in Congress
Just now that can be considered
worthy of a big news feature, the
Democrats are going right along and
following out their program as map
ped out by the first caucus. Every
time they submit bill reducing the
tariff, they put one over on the Re-
publicans. Whether the Republican
Senate kills the bill or a Republican
President vetos it, 1t all amounts to
the same thing so far as the people
are concerned and the people will rec
ognize the fact at the polls next No
vember
The Republicans are worse split to-
day than the Democrats ever were
and there is no doubt in my mind, or
that of any other Democrat, who has
been watching the political game here
for many years, that Democrat is 60
ing to be elected President next No
vember.
Senator Dixon, of Montana, who is
the chief of the Roosevelt forces, and
Representative Mckinley of Illinois,
who is the representative of the Taft
forces, are at each others throats ev-
cry day and calling each other liars,
or words to that effect. The papers
are filed with their letters to one an
other and all those letters contain is
elimination and re-crinlnatlon as far
as the campaign for the Presidency is
concerned in the Republican ranks.
The Roosevelt people are bowling
for preferential primaries in all the
states regardless of the fact that many
of the states have no primary laws,
and that Congress has nothing to do
with it, and each state is a law unto
itself concerning primaries or conven-
tions. The Roosevelt people forget
that in the campaign for the nomina-
ton in 1908, when Roosevelt was at
tempting to nominate Taft, that he
played the same game that Taft is
now playing and which his followers
are bowling about. If they had held
primaries, then the chances are that
some other Republican would have
been nominated at Chicago instead of
Mr. Taft, but Roosevelt used every
parcticle of his Presidential patronage
to compel Taft's nomination and the
Taft people now, say that what is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander.
The chances are that Senator La
Toilette is going to get out on the !
firing line and trip Roosevelt up the |
back for stealing his thunder and com
Ing out and proclaiming himself as
the only original progressive Repub- |
lican in the United States. It looks |
very much as though the La Toilette |
Republicans and following will bolt |
the nomination of Taft and present
third party ticket with La Toilette
at the head Of it, If such is the case,
La Toilette will get two-thirds of the
progressive Republican vote, which !
will elect Democrat. SO, whether
Roderigo kill Cassie or Cassie kill

There is an old saying that no man.

Discarded by Giants Because

Marlin, Tex, March 23.-Farewell
Day at Marlin was gloomy. The
knaves of the Weather Trust. who
have abused the Champion Giants for
almost four weeks, were disagreeable
to the end. Rain fell all day, and the
sc orther" that popped into town early
Thursday was still doing business
with a vengeance.
Though the weather here this year
was miserable, there is little likeli-
hood that McGraw will look for an
other training samp. John j. has not
yet said whether Marlin would enter
tain the Giants again, though until
this spring he swore by the Texan
camp. He says the weather broke
bad this year, and that all spring
weather is more or less of a gamble.
big Steve" Jacobson and Gus Gar
della, two of the rockies, left here
yesterday morning for Mobile. Man
ager Finn of Mobile sent a request to
McGraw that these players be sent to
him at once instead of waiting until
the Giants visited Mobile next Thurs
day. Frank Mcdowell, the Columbia
kid, and Bill Luby. the former Con-
necticut Lacquer, have been shipped
back to New York, as neither of them
came up to the McGraw standard.
BY a strange coincidence these were
the only two players who left New
York when the first batch of rockies
departed for Marlin on February 16.
There were thirteen in the party that
left the metropolis, so Mcdowell and
Luby probably will blame their early
recall on the hOodoO number.

A strong boost for Tim Mahoney,
the Bridgeport clubs new catcher,
has come from DR.. Kiley of Provi-
dence, r. 1. DR.. Kiley is an old col
lege player who has acted as coach
for several college teams in Massa-
chusetts. He has seen Mahoney in
action at Peabody, Mass, and pre-
diets that the youngster will make
good with the Mechanics. He states
that Mahoney stands over six feet
high and is very quick for a man of
his size. "He is also a fine judge of
batters md knows how to keep the
pitchers steady. At the bat he cal.
be depended upon for the timely hits, |"
writes DR.. Kiley to the local manage
ment.
Herman Roth, the young outf1elder
turned over to the Mechanics by the
New York Americans, played on the
same team with Hoff and Bergen, the
New York battery, last season. They
were all members of the Ossining, N.
Y, Club, one of the strongest indie
pendent mines in New York state. A
friend of Secretary Reddy wrote to
the local official and stated that Roth
looked great with the Ossining club
last season and he thinks the young
ster will prove a find for Bridgeport.
Hoff is a southpaw who was grabbed
by New York last season. and Bergen
is a catcher. Both are now at At
lanta with the Yankees.
Chappie Ward, the old New Britain
and Hartford pitcher, who was draft
ted by the Philadelphia Nationals
from Brockton last season, will be
sent to Lynn of the New England
league for further seasoning. He was
sent there by the Chicago Cubs who
secured him from the Phillies in a
trade.
Home Run Baker is up to his old
tricks again. In game against Gal
weston yesterday he clouted for the
circuit with two on bases. Jack
Barry and Danny Murphy also made
homers. The Philadelphia Athletics
won by II to 5.

ball park found some old bats which
