To Expedite Hearing.

With respect to the Sunday closing de-
cision, the Commissioners instructed
Conrad H Syme, corporation counsel. to
endeavor to have it finally adjudicated
with as much dispatch as possible. In
the event of an unfavorable ruling by
the higher tribunal, the District heads
will then consider plans for taking the
matter to Congress.
The Commissioners hope for a reversal
of the ruling by Judge Pugh in the auc-
ton case. Should they be unsuccessful
in the attempt. they probably will en-
deavor to get through Congress a bill
to regulate the auction business in the
District

DISTRICT TO APPEAL
FROM TWO DECISIONS
Will Ask for Ruling on Sunday Is
sue and Auction Law,
Respectively.

Decision to carry to the Court Of APP
peals the ruling of Justice Gould of the
District Supreme Court that they are
without authority to regulate Sunday
amusements in Washington was reached
by the Commissioners at a board ses-
sion this afternoon. The District heads
at the same time concluded to appeal
the decision of Judge Pugh of Police
Court annulling the recently promul-
gated auction regulations.
The Commissioners Were in session
for three hours. but did not take UP
the kalbfuS case, it was stated. So
far as can be learned, it is their inten-
ton to wait until the ousted assistant
assessor has been restored to office by
a court order before deciding as to
what will be their next move.

Oiler Died in Delirium After Drink

Service Report.

In a dream in his home in Antwerp,
before sailing, young Peter Prieve, a
Belgian cabin boy of the fated British
steamer Columbian, abandoned on fire at
sea May a, foresaw the tragic fate of
the ship. and that he would be adrift in
an open boat for fourteen days.
This incident of the latest sea catas-
trophe is told in the report of Capt. c. E.
Johnston, commanding the revenue cutter
Seneca. to the revenue cutter service.
Just fourteen days after the boat had
left the side of the Columbian. carrying
away the cabin boy and fourteen other
members of the crew, the Seneca picked
up the lfeboat. Four of the fifteen were
alive.
The cabin boy had died a few hours
before the rescue. To his comrades in
the boat he kept repeating his predic-
ton that they would be fourteen days
adrift, and that he would not be able
to hold out. and would never see Ant
werp again.
Throughout that terrible fortnight of
deprivation, exposure, thirst. starvation
and labor. forced despite exhaustion, the
men alive in the boat, even those near
death, maintained cheerfulness declared

HIGHWAY COMMISSION ENGIN-
EER BEGINS WORK MONDAY
I'll. X. Carter viii Begin Work in
Newport Assisting in Laying
County Highway for Jack
son County.

Little Rock, Jan. 10.-H. r. Carter.
the State Highway Engineer, will
leave here Sunday night for Newport
IN response to request made by Geo.
A. Hillhouse and others, of the State
Highway Commission for assistance
in laying out a county highway sys-
tenn for Jackson county, and furnish
ing an estimate of the cost. This
will be the first work of the kind to
be undertaken by Mr.. Carter since his
appointment as Highway Engineer,
and is in line with the policy of the
Commissioners to provide the services
of an engineer free of charge for road
and bridge work whenever requested
by the county judges of the state.
Writing to Judge Hillhouse, Commits
sioner Dye says:
"The idea suggested In your letter,
that practically all of your county
should be thrown into an Improvement
district for the purpose of issuing
bonds to raise funds in order to build
a county highway system complete,
is a good one and is in advance of any
other county that we know anything
of. However, l have had this matter
in mind for some time, with a view
of suggesting it to such counties as
may have the property values to sus-
tain the tax. In the legislature of
1913 law similar to the one you have
in mind was passed for White county
but when the same reached the then
governor it was vetoed for the very
good reason that the road mileage
was in excess of anything that the
funds provided for would take care of
This take it, is one reason you want
the services of an engineer in ad-
vance"

Coal Mining in Ohio in 1913.

Although Ohio suffered from a
number of untoward influences during
1918, the production of coal in that
State was slightly in excess of the
output in the preceding year, but it
amounted to little over 34,500,000
short tons. In the late spring the
miaing operations were adversely af-
fected by the unprecedented flood
which tied up transportation and put
the coal mines out of business for
about one month. Later in the year,
as if to make up for the excess of
water during the spring, the Ohio
Valley region was seriously crippled
by drouth, and the water supply in
Ohio was deficient during September,
October, and November
