TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED ENLIST
FOR A TRIP TO

FORT SMITH, Ark, Dec. 16. De
site the charges of fraud and fake
that are being hurled, Chief Sam, who
claims to be the ruler of the Guinea
Tribe of natives of Ashanti, West AT
RIGA, known as the Gold Coast, con
tinues his efforts In organizing ne
groes of Oklahoma to be taken to the
African country. 1t developed today
that Chief Sam, lin addition to his

CREATIONS to one locality in Oklahoma
but is covering every cotton growing
community in that country.
Reports have reached Fort Smith
that he has secured fully $500 to go
with him to Africa. Chief Sam Is en-
gagged in selling stock in the Akin

"a million dollars capital and 40 600

WHEN Ne tOObAT
COAL tUR ships
THE WESTERN FUEL COMPANY
CHARGED WITH HALF A MIL
LION FRAUD.
CASE IN SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.
Rebates on Imported Coal and Fuel
Never Delivered Are involved.
Eight Are Under Indictment, and
Officers May Be Guilty.

@4 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 49, TAX.
ing of evidence in the trial of eight
indicted officials and employees of the
Western Fuel Company for alleged
frauds against the United States gov
eminent began today.
Matt / Sullivan, special counsel for
the government, told the jury he was
prepared to proc each defendant was
cognizant of the alleged fraud, and
had profited by it. He intended, he
said to show by the company's books
that five Of the directors knew what
was going on, and countenanced 1t by
a system of special accounts. The
other three defendants, employees or
the company, it would be shown, de-
clared Mr.. Sullivan, were actively en-.
gagged in manipulating weights and
returned false .affidavits Of the
amount of coal imported and sold.
He made specific charges.
Sullivan separated the alleged
frauds into five divisions short
weighing of coal imported from the
company's mines in British Column
bia; short weighing of coal sold to
American ships; short weighing, OF
coal sold to government transports
and other government owned vessels;
cheating the government out of its
full customs dues; cheating the gov
eminent into paying rebates on coal
never delivered.
Sullivan said that in the last ten
years the books showed the company
had sold 1929 more tons of coal than
it owned, and that the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company had received
from the government drawback da-
ties to which 1t was not entitled on
22,436 tons. The books also show
that between January, 1904, and De-
cember, 1912, the government paid
approximately $4,000 for 15.0S7 tons
supposed to have been delivered to
tugs and army transports which in
reality never were received The az.
gregate Of these transactions repre-
scented loss to the government rec
oned at the retail price of coal, of al
most 100000
To cover these transactions in part,
Sullivan asserted, the engineers OF
the Togo Kisen Kaisha steamships
had been in receipt for years of a 5
per cent payment on every ton their
essels were supposed to load and the
records showed many gifts to officers
and employees of the Pacific Mail to
customs employees and even officers
OF the army and navy.

MEETING IN CHICAGO TUESDAY
Many Advocating Change From Three

Heats-There Is Striking Differ

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 16.-While
/ 1t is believed no definite action viii
be taken on the muchIy discussed
change in the present heat system
horsemen throughout the country are
watching with much interest the at.
tacks and defenses of the present
plan of placing that will undoubtedly
come up at the Joint meeting of the
National Trotting Association rules
committee, to be held in Chicago on
Next Tuesday.
It is understood that this much,y
agitated question will beg discussed,
and it is for the opinR as ~ those Of
ficials that enthusiasts, Owners and
trainers are watching.
The change, proposition to short
en- the Sims heat system, now in
vogue, to 2-in-3 or every heat race
has been talked OF for years, but not
Until the past two seasons has so
much notice been afforded the move.
Officials of quite a number of grand
circuit towns have expressed them
selves as in favor of the new system,
but unwilling to take the initiative
without the change becoming effec-
tive along the entire line of the BIZ
wheel.
Many local horsemen have express
led themselves on the question
Some are in favor OF the adoption,
others are stout in their defense OF
the s-in-5. The majority of those in
|terested, however, are Of the idei
that change, while it might brin.
about q betterment OF conditions, i.
uncertain and could possibly cause
much harm. The subject Of the trot-
ter degenerating naturally is brought
about, and the advocates OF the olu|
style state that with the coming oil
shorter distance races the light har,l
ness horse would lose much of its'
gameness and degenerate otherwise
This theory is partially offset by3
tho thoroughbred and the lowering of
the distances in running races. In2
the last half century the distances
for runners has been changed froma
four mile events, some of these be. i
ing on the heat system, to dashes oil
six furlongs, and with little signs OIL
the runner going back.
One instance of local interest in ia
vor of the present rule is that of the
case of Pop" Geers in the Empire
Stake at Syracuse last summer |
Geers, after losing the first tire
heats, two to Lord Dewey and anotl
err to another contestant, came bac
in the last two miles and breezed
home easily with Reusens. He had
succeeded in getting the Kentuck
gelding, and would have had littl
difficulty in taking the sixth heat ha
it been trotted. A fve-heat limit was
on the event, however, and the loc'
driver had to content himself wit
second money although he was cret
tied with as many firsts as Lord Dew

NEW FEATURE IS
HELP TO OWNERS
ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENT ON
! THE WOODS CARS TELLS ALL
ABOUT BATTERY.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. ia
new feature of equipment on Woods
electfics is said to be to the owner
of an electric what the cash register
IS to the merchant. The instrument
mounted on the toeboard Il OF the
Woods cars, has dial with hand
which points to 20" when the battery
is fully charged
As the current is used in the opera
ton of the car the hand on the dial
moves like the hour hand on clock
and registers the number of units of
electric energy which has been used
since the car was last charged. The
position of the hand on the dial shows
also how much electric current still
remains In the battery and enables
the driver at any time to determine
how many miles the power still avail
able will carry him.
This device is also great conven-
fence and safeguard in charging the
car, as it has cutoff switch which
cuts off the current automatically
when the car is fully charged. It
also provides an easy method of Of
giving the batteries the customary
occasional overcharge.
The instrument is known as the
ampere hour meter Officials of the
Woods company enthusiastically pre-
diet that all electrics will eventually
be forces to adopt this device for the
convenience Of owners.
