and lumber running schooners in serv-
ice on Chesapeake bay and the Potomac
river. has been notified of the imposi-
ton by Collector of Customs Stone of
a fine of $3.50 on motor boat. but the

of the fine was for not having pilot
rules aboard and 800 for not having
sufficient life-saving devices.

HEAVY DROP IN EXPORTS.
FOR MONTH OF AUGUST
Figures More Than $77, 1000, 900
Less Than for the Same
Month Last Year.

American exports fell off considerably
In August, as compared with August,
1913. as result Of the hostilities in
Europe. according to bulletin just issued
by the Department of Commerce Trade
with Germany practically was at a
standstill. while that to France and
Great Britain has not been so seriously
interrupted. Trade to Belgium and to
Argentina, which depends largely on
foreign shipping. suffered heavily.
The decrease in August export trade to
Europe as a whole amounted to $685.
s20,s1s. That represented in a large
measure the decrease in credit abroad
as employed to Offset American obliga-
tions. The falling off in all exports
reached more than S77.Ooo.ooo. One year
ago August the total was $1S7,909.0 .020s
compared with $11o.sss.24O last month.
The effect of war upon American inn
port trade was not SO great. Last month
the import trade amounted to 1929, ,767,-
$50, compared with $137,651.553 in Au-
gust, 1913. The imports from Germany
and Great Britain did not show as large
a decrease as those from France. The

crease in exports among the various

Attendance Figures for Season Ez
pected to Be About 65OOO

Washington's public bathing beach
VIII close for the season this after
noon Scheduled for last Saturday. the
Closing was postponed until TODAY.
Attendance during the week has more
than justified the extension of the
schedule Wednesday more than 300
women patronized the pools. while the
attendance of men and boys has been
nearly up to the average.
But for the enforced closing of the
beach in July on account of lack of
funds. the seasons attendance would
have been the heaviest ever recorded,
As it is the attendance figures are ex-
pected to approximate $1,000. Plans
have been made to open the beach next
year June , instead of June 20. DR..

No Reflection on U. s. Consul

1t is explained by State Department
officials that the transfer of Henry w
Diederich, United States consul general
at Antwerp. to Barcelona, Spain, was not
the result of any official complaint, but
because it was deemed better for all
concerned If Mr.. Diederich were at a
post outside of Belgium, where the
American consular Office is charged
with the care of German interests. It
was declared that the transfer was not
a reflection on Mr.. Diederich, but be-
cause of his German descent it was
considered a wise precaution to avoid
possible complications.

SENATE TAKES UP
ALASKA COAL BILL
Amendment by Mr.. Shafroth
Provides for Sales, in Ad-
dition to Leasing.

The Senate took up again today the
Alaska coal lands leasing bill. Sena-
tor Shafroth offered an amendment
providing that the lands could be sold
outright as well as leased.
Il am convinced" said Senator Shaf-
roth, that coal will be sold to the
consumers cheaper under system
which permits the private ownership of
the mines than under a leasing system
And. after all. what we wish to do is
to put this coal into the hands of the
consumer at the lowest possible rate.
In the past it has always proved that
coal was sold cheaper under a system
which permitted ownership than under
a leasing system"
Senator Shafroth said that coal was
sold in large quantities at the mouth
OF the mine in this country, where the
ownership system has prevailed, at
s1.11 a ton, whereas in Nova Scotia,
New Zealand, Australia and other
places, where a leasing system has pre-
vailed, the price has ranged above 81.
Differs From House Bill.
The measure as now framed differs
from that recently passed by the
House in many particulars. 1t provides
that the government shall reserve
5,12o acres of coal-bearing land in the
Bering River field and 1880 acres in
the Matanuska field, to be mined at
the direction of the President for gov
ernment work. construction and opera
| tion of government railroads for the
| navy. for national protection and for
relief from oppressive conditions.
Unreserved coal lands would be
! leased for not more than fifty years in
| forty-acre blocks. in no case exceeding
1850 acres in any one tract, at a roy
| atty of from cents to cents per ton
and IS cents an acre for the first year
| so cents an acre for the third, fourth h
and fifth years and 81 per acre there
| after, the rentals to be credited
| against the royalty
Tracts Not to Exceed Ten Acres Each
| Leases for purely local needs would
be made in tracts not to exceed ten
acres to any one person or association
without royalty or land charge
| Should any one of the lesses attemnt
to monopolize the product or form a
part of an unlawful trust or conspire
| to control more than 1850 acres of the
coal land. the leases would be forfeited
| by court proceedings.
| A provision of the bill would direct
| that no person employed under ground
| should work more than eight hours a
day.
