COAL TRAFFIC
SHOWS INCREASE

WASHINGTON, d. C., May l0.-An
unusual increase in the volume of coal
traffic has been reported during the
first three months of the present calen-
dar year, according to a publication just
issued by the Bureau OF Statistics. The
shipment of anthracite o from east
ern producing territory, 1872 ,351 long
tons, exceeded any three months period
in the past decade. over 25 per cent. of
the total was for New York and other
Atlantic ports, The bituminous coal
movement in the East during the
quarter amounted to 6.S1S, sos short tons,
as compared with 29,O19, ia during the
first quarter of 1911. C%oastwise ship
ments from the five principal Atlantic
seaports amounted to 6,563, All long tons
as compared with $3.50, 41S during the
same period In 1911.
The river movement of coal, on the
other hand, shows a much smaller vol
ume than during the corresponding PEI
riod In 1911, due to the severe winter,
which caused a longer and more extern
sive suspension of river navigation than
usual.
Exports Of coal show a material in
crease during the first three months OF
the present year from 2,174, 12t long toni
in 1911 to 1880 Ola in 1912 in the case OF
bltuminous, and Cos, 29t long tons In 1911
to 1880, S21 in 1912. This increase in btu
ininous exports has been mainly to South
American and transatlantic countries
and to the West indies other than Cuba,
and in anthracite exports TO Canada.

The action taken by Engineer Sherrerd

Of the United States Is practically all

once but several times, then ran
away, leaving her gasping, but
happier than she had been for sew

The crux of the trouble had
been reached the night before,
when there had been dance to
which all of her set had been in

forward to it eagerly. Ted was

imagining all kinds of accidents,
she had thrown herself, all dress

to sleep. In the morning he had
telephoned her, asking her. to
meet him at the park entrance,
and when she arrived at the ap-
pointed spot she found him bag

clothes. He offered her no ex-

At last, when the cleaning of
the spring evening wrapped the
world in its cloud, with trembling
fingers Helen dressed for Ted,
her heart beating so rapidly that
she could scarcely get her breath.
Long before eight she was ready
for him, but it was after nine be-
fore she heard his ring and ran
to let him in. Somehow she could
not reproach him, he seemed so
tired and worn. His eyes were
deep with fatigue and ring en-
circled, and so she only put her
arms up and drew his head down,
saying gently:
"My poor boy, how tired he
looks; come, sit down and rest"
'You darling" he whispered,
and for a moment he rested his
aching head on the little shoulder
lovingly offered for his support,
and then he broke out with:
Thank God, it's all over" and
drew her closer to him. All cur
iosity suddenly left Helen. No
longer was she a petulant girl,
jealous of her rights, but a strong,
courageous woman, with a deep
trust in the integrity of the man
she was going to marry, and she
laid her firm, cool hand on his

TO ABOLISH
THE DEATH
PENALTY

Governor West has completed tho
draft of his bill 10 abolish capital
punishment in the state, and II is now
IN the hands Of the printer. Just as
soon as sufficient copies have been
printed petitions will be put into cir
culatlon to have II initiated at the
election TO be held this fall.
The bill provides for the abolish
ment Of capital punishment and the
substitution Of life Imprisonment. Az
a complete repeal OF the old law
would have the effect Of freeing mur-
derers condemned to death at this
time, or before the enactment OF the
bill, saving clause Ia inserted that II
shall not apply to them.
Governor West has already granted
reprieves to a number Of men SEN
fenced to death. In view OF the saw
ing clause II will, therefore, be nee
essary TO commute their sentences
should the bill OF abollshing capital
punishment pass.
An antl-capltal punishment league
has been organized In the city and

San Francisco, May 14.-The San
Francisco Examiner issued an eight
page edition today, devoted largely to
classified advertising. The paper
contained a statement declaring there
was no personal animus In the local
pressmen's strike as their men were

The Examiner statement declares
that the curtailment Of the size Of It's
edition Is only temporary.
