There are strong inside hints from the
White House today that President Taft
has decided upon modification of the
policy hitherto pursued by him In en-
during the abuse and insults OF Theodore
Roosevelt.

Steel Trust Credited for Roosevelt.
The White House has information from
many sources that important officials OF
the steel trust have come out for Roose-
Welt and are influencing their men to
work against Taft. A striking illustration
of this Is in the tin plate mill at Morgan
town, w. Va. where the superintendent
is charged with having bent every energy

FEAR OUT COME
OF COAL STRIKE
Both Houses of Congress Stirred
to Action-Anxiety at Navy
Department..

Washington, March 19.-Prospects of
coal strike stirred members of both
houses of Congress to action to-day.
Senator Townsend introduced bill to
provide Federal Investigation of any
controversy affecting interstate COM
merce, and Representative Esch pro-
posed similar measure in the House
Senator Townsend's bill Is similar to
one he introduced when member of
the House several years ago.
The possibilities of coal strike arc
causing anxiety at the Navy Depart
ment. While the strike would affect
the anthracite mines only Indirectly
That would be likely to increase the
cost OF bitumnous coal, which would
be used largely as a substitute
Secretary Meyer will confer to-mor-
row with representatives of some of
the bitumlnous coal companies which
supply the navy. 1t is stated that in
addition to the disturbance in the
market caused BY the present foreign
and prospective domestic strike, the
Virginia and West Virginia collieries
are greatly embarrassed by car short
age. II is also represented to the de-
partment that there are Twenty-Five
foreign steamers in Hampton Roads
waiting Tor bunker coal, and that they
are ohering Sl.50 per ton more than
the navy pays. The Boston Navy Yard
Is short OF coal, and there Is some APP
prehension that other yards will soon
be affected, but the fleet Is in better
condition owing to the ability of the
ships to select their coaling ports.
Another serious question may soon
arise when II becomes necessary to
replenish the stores of coal shipped
from the Virginia mines to the insular
possessions and the foreign stations Of
tho American fleet. Indications are
that contracts which the navy soon will
make for it's coal supply for the next
year will show considerable increase
in price

RECORD
CROP IS EXPECTED
Apple Prospects in Frederick
Considered Brighter Than
in Many Years.

Winchester, Va. March 19.--Some OF
the bcst-intorncd fruitSrowers of the
county who were iii town to-day de-
clared that Frederick county should
this year produce the largest crop of
apples In it's history. An examination
of the trees shows fruit buds unusually
numerous, and they appear to be
healthy, particularly on trees which
have been bearing for u number OF
years. The extremely cold weather of
January killed practically all the early
peaches by nipping the ends of the
twigs from which the buds come, but
the zero weather also prevented the
apple trees from making progress.
There has been no weather sufficiently
warm to cause the buds to come out
too soon on the apple trees, and ex-
perienced growers declare 1t is now
practically too late for q frost to In
jure the trees.
During the summer and fall season
of 1911, Frederick county shipped over
200, 900 barrels of apples. or about one
fourth of the entire output of the
state, and II is predicted that in Wow
of tho fact that weather conditions are
favorable and that thousands of trees
will hear in paying quantities for tho
first time the output for 1912 Will ex-
coed 100000 barrels.
Many orchard men have already be-
gun their first spring spraying. and
from now on the orchards on every
hillside and little valley in Frederick
county will receive special attention 1T
the hands of the men who have thou
sands OF dollars invested in apple
lands.
