The waiting room and Offices of the
Somerset Traction Co will be remov-
ed from the Fairgrieye block, corner

ture, street floor and will be exceed
ingly convenient as that block will
set at exactly the terminus of the car

Water street, and which have lately
been removed here from Pittsfeld will
occupy space in the same building and

other aged horse which is now owned
by Nancy Wells Walker of Nassalboro
and is "a years old. The animal was
owned for eighteen years by Thomas

ceodngly good condition for a horse
OF that age. She is worked in the

ing and driving. Daisy for thus she
is known, has been often seen on the
streets of Skowhegan, as for eighteen
years she was owned by Thomas

DOES NOT PROPOSE
To SURRENDER
Internationally to Gen
eral Caranza
Provisional President Carbajal Is SO
Minded

washington, July 21-Provisional
President Carbajal does not intend to
surrender Internationally to General
carranza, and will concentrate his
military forces and resist an invasion
rather than permit the constitutional
ISIS to enter Mexico City without pre-
yious agreements not to wreak ven
peance on the lives and property of
those who supported General Huerta.
This was the tenor of information
from authoritative sources today in
Mexico City to Washington diplomats.
II spread a feeling of pessimism in
some quarters over the possibility of
an amicable settlement of the revolu-
ton.
Emilio Aabasa, head of the delega-
tion which represented Gen. Huerta
at the Niagara conference, arrived
here today and discussed the situation
with The South American mediators
and with Jose Castellot, personal rep
resentauVe OF CafDdJal.
1t became known that Messrs. Ra-
basa and Castellot favored a more ag-
grassiye attitude by Provisional Presi-
dent Carbajal to secure guarantees of
protection for people in Mexico City
and federal territory generally. They
made it plain that Mr. Carbajal had
no objection to turning over the gov
ernment to Gereral Carranza, but
must assist on some assurances in ad-
vance that property would not be de-
spoiled and that there would be no
wholesale executions or arrests. Mr..
Castellot said he was confident that
ultimately there would be an agree
ment in that connection between Car
baial and Carranza.

Greatest Coke Production

All records in coke production were
broken in 1913, according to state
ment by Edward W Parker of the
United States Geological Survey. the
output being 46,311,369 short tons,
valued at $12S,951,4 ,430. This is an in
crease over the 1912 output of 2.327,-
ia tons in quantity and $17146,3l1
in value OF the 1913 production 49,
596,669 tons was made in beehive
ovens and 12,714.700 tons, or PA per
cent. in retort or distillation ovens
where all the -products-tar, gas,
ammonia, etc.-are saved. The in
crease in production of by-product
coke was over twice as large as the
increase in beehive coke.
The principal increase in by-pro-
duct coke production in 1913 was in
Alabama, where the gain was nearly
30 per cent, from 1,349,797 tons in
1912 to 2.022,959 in 1918, The in
crease in Pennsylvania was nearly
one-third, from l,974,619 tons in l9l2
to 2.62S,6SO tons in 1918. Indiana
showed an increase Of 110,6S6 tons.
and Illinois of 94,609 tons.
A large part of the coal used in by
product ovens in States that do not
produce coking coal was obtained from
West Virginia mines. Mr.. Parker es-
timates that the quantity of West Nir-
ginia coal made into coke outside OF
The State was 100000 tons. The
quantity of coal made into coke in
West Virginia was 4,034,251 tons and
the quantity of coke produced there
from was 2,472,752 tons If all the
coke made from West Virginia coal
We're credited to that State it would
amount to about 7.750,000 tons.

HENRY HILTON KILLED
The Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Asher Hilton
of Ans0n. Sad Accident Occurred
at Rumf0rd

Henry Hilton of Rumford and
Thomas Pietro of Portland were in
stantly killed Friday afternoon at
Rumford, when a hanging wire on a
derrick which they were moving came
in contact with a high tension wire at
the Oxford Paper Mill. Hilton is
survived by a wife and several chill
dren. Pietro is unknown. The cor
oner deemed an inquest unnecessary.
The news of Mr. Hilton's death
came as a great shock to many ac-
quaintances in Madison and Anson as
the deceased was the son of Mr. and
Mrs Asher Hilton of Anson and was
well known in that vicinity.
