City dwellers who go to the SHORES
of Maine each summer for their out

in abundance. Fish and clans by all
means, but Holsters absolutely. Ten
months out of the year at their own
homes they eat all kinds of meat
When they GO to the seashore they
want sea food Each year it becomes
harder to procure the Holsters the va
cationists ask for. There are several
reasons for this. Today there are %
men fishing for Holsters where a quar-
ter of a century ago there were hNe.
But even these reasons Tor snort
age in the lobster supply do not wholly
explain why the summer VISITOR ooes

lobster on the menu of every seaside

hacking nave made it possible to ship
live Holsters from Portland, Rockland
and other Maine ports to as far dis
tant points as Portland Ore, and Kan
sas City. Naturally, he dealers STU
ated at these great distances from the
base of supplies are Wiling TO pay
high prices. Boston and New YORK
offer such attractive prices for Sooo
sized Holsters that nine-tenths OF the
entire catch is shipped there. In Maine
any lobster under 10 IL inches in
length is of illegal size, and whoever
is caught with such crustalean liz
his possession is liable to fine 81 for
each short" 1t is generally conced-
ed that the Holsters measuring from
eight to 10 IL inches are the sweetest
of any. This means that so long as
people can be found who are Wiling
to pay from sl.25 to $3.50 a dozen for
these understood Holsters they will be
furnished by fishermen.

COAL PRODUCTION OF STATE.
Unbroken Annual Grwoth Comment
ed Upon.

According to the estimates Of E. w.
Parker, coal statistician Of the United
States geological survey, southwestern
Virginia increased its production by
probably as high per centage as that
reached by any other State or district.
Some of the mines in Wise county
(the source of more than SO per cent.
of the states total.) increased their
production of over 100 per cent, and
most of the important operations add
ed as much as 25 per cent. to their
ouput Of 1911.
Virginia's production has increased
with annual regularity. the state
being an exception to the generally de-
creased production in 1911. The rec
ord for 1912 will surpass all others.
and probably show a tonnage double
that of 1908, when it amounted TO
4,260,OOO short tons. The supply of
coal cars was generally fair, but
shortage of coke and box car equip
ment prevented taking full advant-
age of the boom in the coke mar
ket during the latter part of the year.
Unframed labor was scarce on &C
count of the demand for workmen in
other lines. The high prices offered
for spot coal in the latter part OF the
year enabled some of the Virginia
mines to ship into territory not nor
nlally their own against freight diff
ferentiaEs as high as 25 per cent per
short ton. ..E

NEWS OF THEDAY.

The power of the States over rail
roads and express companies suffered
a hard blow yesterday when the Su-
preme Court held that since the pas
sage of the Carmack amendments to
the Interstate Commerce law in 1906
the States had ceased to have power
to annul contracts between railroads
and shippers limiting the liability for
the loss of inter State shipments. An
other serious blow was delivered when
the coura held that the states, since
the passage of the Inter State Com
merce acts and particularly the Hep
burn law in 1906, had no power to
penalize railroads for failure to fur
nisih cars for interstate shipments.
The changes thus effected revolution
ize the practice in many States.

Order For Expulsion From

Large Number of Petitions From Ex-

Odessa, Jan. 7.-Rayponding to The
frantic appeals of thousands of Jews
who have been ordered from theil
homes in the Kieff District, Governor
General Trepoff today suspended fur
ther expulsions until the spring. With
a touch of sympathy most unusual in

Sir Edward Grey Makes
Statement in British
House of Commons.
SITUATION is SERIOUS.
Turkey Will be Given Until Saturday
To Make Request for Reopening of
Peace Negotiations

London, Jan. 7.-"If the Turks and
the allies do not show disposition
to reopen negotiations Immediately,
the Great Powers of Europe will in
tevene. This was stated today in
the House Of Commons by Sir Edward
Grey, Secretary of State, for Foreign
Affairs.
Questioned the foreign minister ad-
mitted that the powers, through their
ambassadors, was considering joint
action to bring about peace in the
Balkans, but he declined to go into
particulars, saying the situation was
too delicate.
War in the Balkans against Tur-
key probably will not be renewed be-
fore some time next week, if at all.
The peace delegates of the Balkan
states will give Turkey until Satur-
day to request the reopening of the
suspended negotiations it was semi
officially learned today.
Shold the Ottoman make no move
for resumption Of the peace confer
ence, the ENJOYS of the allies plans
to themselves to call a meeting and
breaking off of the negotiations. The
meeting could not be held before Mon
day.
1t is not believed in diplomatic and
military circles that war will be re-
newed, but in such an eventuality, the
various states of the Balkan alliance
could hardly get into action. until two
or three days following the formal
rupture of the negotiations.

FIGHT FOR CONTROL,
Georgia Senator's Plans For Reorgan-
izing Higher Body of Congress and
the Abolition of Seniority Rule.

Trenton, N. j., Jan. 7.-All of the
plans of the Progressive Democrats
in the Senate will be unfolded to
Prcsidant-elect Wilson by Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, when he pays
his scheduled visit here tomorrow.
Smith had been leading the fight to
control the Senate against the old Bal
ley element and from him the Presi-
dent-elect expects to receive accurate
information as to the exact status of
the Democratic insurgency" in the
upper house.
= is believed that Smith will explain
his plan for reorganizing the Senate
and Gv:ag away with the Seniority
rule" in the make up of committees.
The Georgia Senator is looked upon
as the prospective mouth-piece of the
administration in the coming Senate.
Governor Wilson has not made public
his views about the organization OF
the New CongreSs, but it is understood
he is in hearty accord with the I'm
surgent" cause. 1t is known that he
feels the organization of the commit
tees in both houses along progressive
lines is essential to the success Of the
Legislation he is pledged to.
The hardships financially that the
lack of a mail franking privilege for
presidents-elect entails on the pre-in-
auguration exchequor became known
today when it was learned Governor
Wilson had answered 50,23l letters
since election, spending more than
81 GOO in postage alone, not mention
ing salaries to stenographers and
clerks. He has paid this out of his
own pocket, and save for his salary
as governor. Wilson has little money.
Senator Hoke Smith will be accom-
panied tomorrow by Senator Thomas
P. Gore, of Oklahoma, progressive
from whom Gov. has received much
advice during the campaign and since
then. Senator Cores intimacy with
the President:elect will give him a
conspicuous status in the new Senate.
He, too, has been prominent in the
movement to break down the seniority
rule.
