late Cardinal Rampolla and a large sum
OF money has been found 1t is empty
The will and the money presumably were
stolen. The police are making secret
investigation of the affair with the tacit
consent of the vatican. This, taken In
conjunction with the fact that the pope
instructed Mgr do Blsogno, treasurer Of
the basiica of st. Peters, to use the
notary's seal on the apartments occupied
by the late cardinal at the vatican, gives
rise to the belief that litigation can not

COAL OPERATIONS

Output For 1913 Is 3O,OOO,-
600 Tons Ahead Of Record.

Washington. Dec. 29,-Despite la.
Dor disturbances in Colorado, the in.
terference of the Ohio floods last
spring and a general complaint on
the part of coal operators that they
We're unable to work their mines al
full capacity because of shortages in
the labor market, there was an in
creased production of coal in the
United States in 1913 of between
S0,000,000 and 40,0O0,OO0 tons, as
compared with that OF 1912.
According to the estimates made
public by Edward w, Parker, coal
statistician of the geological survey,
there will be total production Of
between 565.O00,OO0 and 575,0O0,OOO
tons at the end of the present year.
The increased output Is said to be an
index OF the general Industrial activi-
ties of the country.
Goal mining, like all other indus
tries in the Ohio valley states, was
seriously interfered with by the
foods in that region during the
spring Of 1918, and probably from
100000 to 100000 tons of coal
would have been added to the years
output but for the great disaster"

Walter Schaller was tried out for an
outfield position by the Tigers in 1911
at Monroe. La. He failed to stick, but
gave enough promise so that a tight
string on him was held during the sea-

well over 800 in the American Associa-
tion. playing for Kansas City. So the
Tigers recalled him
Last fall he broke leg at the latter
part of the season and this spring when
given another chance with the Tigers
that leg bothered him SO much that he
was soon distanced in his race for a
Tiger outfield job. So he was sold to
the White Sox.
