CHEAP IOWA COAL
MOST ECONOMICAL
State College Finishes Some Compsr-
alive Tests.

Ames, Feb. t.--IoWa's cheap Goals
are not at all bad when it comes to
producing steam and power. Thor
IoGgh investigation made by the en-
cheering experiment station Of
Iowa State college shows that 81
Iowa coal will generate given
horsepower through year at con-
siderably less expense for fuel than
the SO grade.
This investigation covered care
full study of ten different Iowa steam
power plants of different types and
sizes. It was made by H. w. Wag-
ner of the experiment station staff
and the results are reported In
bulletin just issued by the college.
Mr.. Wagner's figures show that a
pound of the 81 ton coal will
evaporate 81 pounds of water, as
against 6.S pounds for the So grade
The cost of coal per indicated horse
power averaged $3.50 per year for
the 50 coal and $3.50 for the IS
grade. The cheaper coal Will pro-
duce electricity at cost of little
less than l cent per kilowatt hour
where the plant is operated to its
full capacity, while 1t costs trife
more than / cent with the SO grade.

i
of them may be the man wanted.
Davenport, Feb. 1.--Ernest Dali.
dorf, store keeper on Rockingham
road in West Davenport, was hello
up in his store last night, and when
he resisted was shot and almost in
stantly killed by masked man.
The murder occurred about s
o'clock. Dalldorf and a young man,
Clyde Jaeger, were in the store at
the time. Dalldorf heard the front
door rattle, and thinking it was not
closed went to the front of the store.
He saw a man standing outside with
his back turned.
Thinking the stranger was wait
ing for a car, Dalldorf opened the
door and invited him in. The
stranger turned suddenly and the
storekeeper was confronted with a
revolver. The stranger had hand
kerchief tied across his face. He
ordered Dalldorf and Jaeger to
throw up their hands, and after 60
ing through their pockets directed
Dalldorf to open the cash register.
The latter went behind the count
er to do so, and as he did, pushed
over candy case SO that it struck
the holdup man in the legs and
threw him to the floor. Dalldorf
then rushed out after him and in the
scuffie which followed Dalldorf was
shot three times. He died almost
instantly.
The murderer jumped and ran
away. He was of medium size and
had on dark suit and corduroy
cap
A dragnet is out over Davenport,
Rock Island and Moline, and the po-
lice are confident of landing the
who is thought to be one
of the boy bandits who have been
terrorizing Davenport with nightly
robberies and holdups since early in
the winter. The Dalldorf murder
comes as the climax of wave of
crime unprecedented in the city. Six
robberies have been committed this
week. ... ...
