New York. March 20.--Col. George W.
Goethals sailed for the P3nama canal
iona to-day after u month spent in no
United States. The steamship Colon was
held until 40 p, m, an hour and half
beyond her customary sailing time, to
accommodate the colonel, and then he
hurried aboard So fast that reporters
could not interview him.
Mrs. Goethals. who accompanied her
husband on the trip from the cana, zone.
returned with him.
Efforts were made during Colonel
Goethals' previous visit here to induce
him to become police commissioner of
New York city. but he sailed to-day leav-
ing the public still in the dark as TO his
intentions regarding the proposition.
On April ! he will assume his new
title and office OF governor of the Pan
anna canal. Before leaving Washington
yesterday Colonel Goethals had con.

ceived the latters approval Of the per.

FARMS PAY HIGHER.
Wnges of Labor Rise More Rapidiy
Than in city.

Washington, March 22--WaGes of farm
laborers have increased more rapidly than
those OF the city workman during the past
% years, n department Of agriculture in
vestig alton has revealed, During the past
year the pay of the farmer Increased two
aud-a-Eali per cent: the increase has
been II per cent in the past four wears,
and 50 per cent since 1907
While the inquiry, the results Of which
We're made public to-day. dealt particu-
larly with the United States, in most
other countries also farm wages increased
rapidly The investigators discovered.
however, that while wages went up about
81 per cent from 1900 to 1910 farm land
values nearly doubled in that decade,
showing, they say, that in the "distribu-
ton of the proceeds from farming opera
tlons larger proportion now goes to
capital account and less TO labor account
than formerly
The wide difference IN wage rates in
various sections of the country. the re-
port pointed out Is gradually cssening,
although there is still considerable var-
ance.

COAL MINING CASUALTIES.

Washington, March 9.-Twelve coal
miners We're killed every working day
of the year during 1918.
In an army OF 1885 there We're 2,1S
deaths, according to a report issued to-
day by the United States Bureau of
Mines. This Is an increase of 425 deaths
over the previous year 1912 and gives
a fatality rate Of 3.s2 in every 1000 men
employed as compared with 3,27 in 1872.
Six thousand more men were employed
in 1913 and the increase in production
was between 30, 900, 900 and 100000 tons.
Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director Of the
Bureau, in commenting upon the record
for the year said An examination of
the statistics develops the disappointing
fact that in our coal mining operations
during 1913 there We're killed AZ more
men than during 1912. This is an in
crease of IS per cent. In fatal accidents,
with an increase of only 5 per cent. in
coal production.
I'VE can find little comfort in the suS-
Sestion that this increase may in part
be accounted for by the occurrence dur
ing 1918 of four large mine explosions.
Furthermore, while the total deaths from
mine explosions was 213 greater in 1913
than in 1912, the number of explosions
| In which more than five rnen were kill
| cd was only seven as compared with
! ten explosions in 1912. In fact the sta
| tistcs show an increase in fatalities
during 1918 from all the underground
| causes except mine fires and surface
| accidents.
Some progress has heen made, row
| ever, in the safety movement as shown
| by the statistics for the last eight years,
| IN the four years ending December 81
| the average death rate was 3.97 for each
| loo men employed In the last -four
years the rate was 36S. ComparinS
deaths with production of coal, the nu.u-
her OF fatalities for each one million
tons mined during The four years ending
December 81, 1909, was $50, as compared
with 5.ll for the four years ending
December 81, 1918. These latter figures
indicate a general gain of II per cent, for
safety during the last four years over
the four years preceding But this progress
has been small as compared to that which
the country will demand during the mex,
few years.
| 1T is unfortunate that the safety in
| quries and Investigations by the National
| government, upon which so much de.
pends, have Jagged so far behind the
needs Of the industry and public demand
1t is hoped that this situation may be
remedicd at an early date"
