Survey by willard Brown Thort:
give years ago John Gerrish was a
sailor on the United States cruiser Penn
sylvania. He was a young man of good
habits, and sent $40 every mont for the
support of his mother in San Diego. One
day, when on shore leave at Vallejo, Cal,
he did what for him was an unprece-
dented thing-got uproariously drunk and
beat up marine who was his companion.
The marine accused him also Of taking

747,764 to $16,345,336. This increased
production may be attributed to the
bountiful crops and general prosper
ity throughout the state, which nat
urally created an improved condition
in the coal trade. particularly in the
last four months of the year. There
was much complaint Of deficiencies in
labor and car supplies.

Butte and Yampa fields. Some OF the
coal beds of Colorado attain enor-
nous thickness. This is especially
true In the Glenwood Springs field.
and some OF the beds in the North
Park field are also said to be of great
thickness. The totai area undcrlain
by coal in Colorado is estimated at
1870 square miles. and about sixty
per cent Of that entire area Is be-
lieved to contain coal that is workable
under present conditions. The state
contains areas embracing over 1000
square miles about which little is
known. but which may contain work
able coal, and nearly 5000 square
miles in which the coal lies under
heavy cover and Is therefore not work
able at present.
In point of production the most i'm.
portant area is the Trinidad field, un.
derlying considerable portions OF
Huerfano and Las Animas counties,
which in its southern extension into
New Mexico as the Ration field is al
so the most important producer in
that state. The coal Of this field is a
high-grade coking coal, probably the
best coal Of that grade in the Rocky

THE new BANKING BILL
ADMINISTRATION cURR ENcY
MEASURE INTRODUCED.
Senator Owen Offers Bill Ia the Sen.
ate, and Representative Glass
In the House.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington. = The administration
currency, bill was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Owen and In the
House by Representative Glass. The
House Immediately referred the meas
ure to, the banking and currency COM
mittee.
Several changes have been made in
the bill as the result of the numerous
conferences In which President Will
son, Democrats of the House and SEN
ate committees, Treasury department
ofs!ctals and. committees of bankers
took part following the publication of
the proposed measure several days
ago, but despite appeals that the fed
eral reserve board to control the pro-
posed new currency system be In
creased, and that bankers be given
representation. no change in this pro-
vision was made. The board will con-
sist of seven men to be appointed by
the President.
In the Senate, Senator Cummins
contemplated proposing an amend
ment which would make the board An
elective body. 81
Reinserted in the bill was the origi-.
nal proposition for retiring the pres
ent bank notes, within twenty years
and the substitution of additional fed
eral reserve notes for them. This
eliminates the proposed limit of $780,
100000 In reserve notes contained In
the bill as originally made public. In
replacing the bank notes the govern
ment two per cent bonds. upon which
they are now issued, would be re-
funded by three per cent bonds With
out the circulation privilege.
Chairman Glass made preparations
for the speedy consideration /, OF the
bill by the House committee. He OBJ
tained the passage of two resolutions
to facilitate the work. One provided
for the printing and distribution OF
$4,000 copies of the new bill. The
other. which was adopted after a'par-
tisan discussion, provided $4,000 for
the payment of experts to be employed
by the committee. -
