THE REsoLUTE AGAIN.
Led vanitie and Defiance Over 35H
Miles Course Yesterday.

GLEN COVE, /. l., june 26.-Res-
olute led the light for her yachting
honors yesterday, for her cup class
rivals, Defiance and Nanitie, gave her
4 merry tussle for the greater part of
the 33A miles course in upper Long
Island sound. 1t was not until more
than half the course had been sail
ed that the Herreshoff production as
sumed the leadership ana even then
she was forced to fairly fly over the
last 10 miles in order to overcome a
four-minute time allowance which she
conceded to the Defiance. Time al
lowance cost the Vanitie second place
after leading the Defiance at the fin
ish by one minute and AZ seconds.
The Resolute defeated the Defanc5
by three minutes and II seconds and
the Vanitie eight minutes and three
seconds in corrected time.
The Improvement in the Defiance
was the most encoura ging feature OF
the race and keen yachtsmen pre-
dicted that the tri-city boat would
| yet prove a formidable contender foi
| cup defending honors.

About 200 persons attended the Uni

COOPER is WANTED
FOR GOVERNOR
Progressive Leaders Ask Bennington
Manufacturer to Enter Cub
ernatorial Race.

BENNINGGTON, June &c. - Alexan-
der j. Cooper, president of the Cooper
Manufacturing company, the leading in
dustry of Bennington, has been offered
the nomination for governor on the
state Progressive ticket.
When the 'proffer was first made Mr..
Cooper appeared to be in receptive
mood and when the state committee
left him Wednesday night it was with
the impression that Mr.. Cooper would
head the ticket.
When seen yesterday, however, Mr.
Cooper apparently had experienced
change of heart and had about made
up his mind to write Chairman H. Mel
son Jackson he could not see his way
clear to go on the ticket.
DR.. H. Nelson Jackson of Burling-
ton, Rev. Frazer Metzger of Randolph,
who headed the state ticket two years
ago, Joseph G. Jones and d. f. Mar
tin of Rutland, prominent in Progress
siye circles, arrived here and after con
sultation with the local leaders, Will
liam H. Nichols and Rev. George S.
Mills, held a long interview with Mr..
Cooper.
While Mr.. Cooper did not positively
say that he would accept the nomina-
ton he assured Chairman Jackson
that he was strongly inclined to do so.
Mr.. Cooper has been trustee and
has also served as village president,
but has not been q seeker for public
office. He is a pronounced admirer
| of Roosevelt and it was at his home
that the former President was enter
tanned when making his trip through
| Vermont i'll the campaign of two years
/ ago.

The comparison indicates in striking
way the extent of the coal mining in
dustry In the United States. The output
OF coal Is enormous, but it is increasing
year by year The amount of coal SO
far taken out is only fraction of what
remains, according to the estimate of the
biologists. The people of this country.
however are using more coal every year
and with the exhaustion of somc of the
European coal fields already in sight the
foreign demand for American coal viii
increase enormously
The history of coal mining in the Uni
ted States covers only period OF about
century. There was some mining of
anthracite in Pennsylvania as far back
as 1880 but the records of the anthrocite
coal trade usually begin with the year
1890 The first actual mining Is believed
to have been in Virginia though the rec
ords of production in that state date
from 1922. The presence of coal in Ohio
was discovered as far back as 1755, but
the record of output begins in 1887. The
history of coal mining In Kentucky begins
in 1927 but in 1910 the production had
reached only 1861 tons

PLENTY of Coal Left in Ground

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
1t has been estimated that the amount
of coal which will be dug out of the
ground in the United States during the
present year will be greater by far than
canal.
Experts of the United States Geolog-

there was enough coal in this country to
make a solid block 10 miles long. 10 miles
wide and 10 miles high. A block of this
size would weigh more than $500. coo 100000
tons. and up to the present time the coal
that has been removed amounts only to
something lige 10000, 900, 900 tons The coal
mined during 1914 will amount to about
