shipment of honey bees broke
and captured a freight train on the
Great Northern yesterday.

bees got TO Crystal Bay three of the
hives we're smashed, and rs a result
no freight was left. The a o was

bees from interfering with interstate

Father Jaeger today has his bees,
but is waiting for their tempers to
cool before unloading them, and the
all the rest of the freight
will lay on the side track for some
time.

The defense of Police Lieutenant

and of having collected $l25,0oO graft
n twelve months, received a hard
b,ov when James E. Marsh. Repub-

the grand jury.
Marsh had stated in interviews to
fhe newspapers that Becker had ac
c,iim1ilated his fortune through speeu-
1ation in Wall Street and
that he had beer in several raliroao
deals with Becker. It was supposed
he would aid materially the indicted
police officials case. but when he was
subjected to a rigid cross-eHamina-
tjon nv the district attorney his
stories failed o agree and in the n
he failed, according to current re-
BORT. to show a single instance
wherein Becker made any large sum
of money from legitimate specuia-
ton.
The States contention that Becker
obtained his fortune through graft
was mistaken when the Grand jury
had finished with March.

M0T0RB0AT RACE
Kicks Up So Choppy a Sea That
Smaller Craft Dare Not
Venture Out.

HUNTINGTON. L. L, Aug. 3d.
Starting any of the motorboats on
their fourth elimination ace before
noon today as planned seemed out of
the question, because of a stiff north
erly breeze which kicked up a sea
which none of the smaller boats could
live in.
One of the committee said this
morning: ut is imperative that at
least two boats be chosen at one and
it would be unfortunate if rough
water should prevent today's races

Wheeler yard ready to race were the

less II. will not start today. SO her
owner says, and the Splash II. is out
of commission on account of a broken
clutch. The engines will be put in the
Ace III. this afternoon, but she will
not be ready to race.
The race committee has not Off
eially announced any boats as de-
tenders of the Harmsworth trophy.
but it is we'll understood that the
performance of Count Mankowski's
Ankle Deep made such a good i'm
preston that her selection is as
sured. She is being put in first
class shape to start in the first in

WASTE IN COKE MAKING.

If the 27,703,644 short tons of coke
manufactured in 1911 in ovens of the
beehive type had been made in by
product ovens, the value of the by
products thus recovered, which were
wasted in the beehive ovens, would
have been between s35,000,00O and
$40,000.0O0. This interesting state.
of the United States Geological Sur
vey, in an advance chapter on coke
from the volume Mineral Resources
for 1911. This estimate is based on
the value of the by-products resulting
from the 7,S47,S45 tons of coke made
in by-product ovens, in 1911. The val
use of these by-products recovered in
1911 was equal to the value at the
mines of the coal used in making the
coke. ..
From information received by the
Survey from the superintendent of
motive power of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, Mr.. Parker esti,
mates that the quantity of power
which might be obtained from the
coking operations in the Connellsville
and Lower Connellsville districts by
substituting non recovery retort
ovens for beehive ovens and using
the heat which is now wasted would
be more than. twice the quantity of
power necessary to move every train
on the Pennsylvania railroad between
Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. The
amount of boiler horsepower obtain
able from these coking districts is
estimated by Mr.. Parker at about AGO.
900 horse power per hour for every
day in the year.

THE RACE QUESTION.

Some extremely interesting figures
furnished by the promoters Of a bill
now before congress asking for an
appropriation of $250,000 for negro
exposition in celebration of the semi
centennial of the emancipation proc
lamation, would tend to contradict
many of the statements made by
Senator Vardaman in his chautauqua
address. They also put the colored
man in a much more favorable light,
proving that he has been useful in the
South in bringing about It's present
state of industrial development. From
his own point of view the negro has
found an adopted country that Is liv-
able for him. We have proof of this
in the fact that there were 100000
negroes In 1860 and 100000 In 1910.
Judged by accomplishment the quail
ity his improved. Before the war
practically all the negroes were slaves
and illiterate; In 1890 the figures
show illiteracy among the descend
ants 90.5 per cent less than that of
the white population of Spain, Russia,
Roumania, Hungary and not a few
other European countries. BY way
OF comparison nearer home, the still
more significant fact is pointed out
that in Pennsylvania the illiteracy OF
the foreign population has Increased
in twenty years from Is to 10 per
cent, while that of the colored resi-
dents of the state has decreased dur
ing the same period from 20 to is per
cent. Fifty years ago there were
practically no American negroes In
professional life; now there are more
than $4,000, Fifty years ago the slave
was practically penniless; now his
descendants own more than 100000
farms and homes, whose aggregate
value Is estimated at over $1.o00.00o,-
900. More than quarter of a million
negroes own their own farms and
