Plenty Of Graphite in o. S.

As 1t has been fully demonstrated that
natural graphite occurs in our own coun-
try in practically inexhaustible quan,i-
ties. the question arises: Why should our
industries be so dependent on foreign
supplies? The reason Hes in the me-
chanical difficulty in concentrating the
American product. Most of the graphite
found in this country occurs as small
fakes in banded rocks known as schis.s.
The graphite forms only to 10 per cent
by weight of the rock. and the crushing
Of the rock ana clean separation of .he
graphite flakes have proved commercially
successful only in few favored places
The uses for which graphite is suited
are dependent on the purity and physical
Character of the material The faky and
hbrous graphite from Ceylon finds its
principal use in the manufacture of
graphite crucihles employed in the steel.

graphite from adagascar is also used
mainly in crucibles, but the earthv

in paints. for lubricating. and In pencil
manufacture, and is not adapted for

BIG VOLUME OF GRAPHITE
USED IN UNITED STATES
Island of Ceylon, Off the Coast of
India, Is Worlds Greatest
Producer.

Graphite or plumbago. next to diamond
the most refractory of all varieties of
carbon. is a mineral Of great and increas-
ing industrial Importance. The Island of
Ceylon. off the coast of India. Is the
worlds greatest graphite e-produc.ng CEN
ter, and the United States absorbs about
one-half Of its product. Other far-off
countries that contribute graphite to our
industries are Korea. in western Asia.
and the French island of Madagascar. of
the east coast of Africa, and in spite of
political upheavals northern Mexico has
continued to contribute important sup
plies.
These large drafts on foreign sources
amounting in 1918 to 2S.s19 short tons
valued az S2.1Oe.7 7e1. are in marked con-
trast to the small domestic production OF
natural graphite. which in 1918 was only
4.Ia5 tons valued at s293,756. according

HOUSE COLL0QUY OVER
EXECUTIVE INFLUENCE
Representative Underwood Replies
to Statements About the
White House.

Representative Oscar Underwood.
House leader Of the democrats. said in
a short speech on the floor today that
he does not believe in Interference
with Congress from the White House.
However. he said that whenever the
President Is to be upheld the House
should do so.
Just now there are statements in
the press to the effect that the leg
islative is being absorbed by the execu-
tive. I belong to that old school Of
philosophy which recognizes three
distinct branches Of government, the
executive. legislative and judicial.
"The executive has no more right to
direct the legislative than the legisla-
tive has to direct the executive, ex-
cept by the passage of laws"
Explains Mexican Matters.
Representative Gillett of Massachu-
setts asked Mr.. Underwood If he had
not brought the influence of the Presi-
dent to bear strongly in the House in
certain of the Mexican matters and
during the last session on the ques-
ton Of adjournment.
las to the Mexican matter did say
the Presidents hands should be up
held" replied Representative Under
wood. land I say SO now. The House
was not informed as to the Mexican
situation and could not be fully In
formed There was no reason why
we should not uphold the President"
The colloquy was brought out by the
presentation of resolution asking the
Treasury Department to send to the
House certain information regarding
a subsidiary line Of the Union Pacific
railroad.

Yesterday. 1t is stated. Hart was seen
on the bridge east of the Berwyn station.

has not escaped on a freight train he Is
still in the neighborhood, and that 1t is
only a question of a few hours before he
will be captured.
Besides the shotgun with which he
shot his wife. Hart has, pistol it is
stated. He is said to be a desperate
man when aroused. and he is expected
20 show fight when apprehended.
y Star reporter talked with many of
Hart's neighbors last night and this
morning. and il is ascertained that the
quarrel between Hart and his wife was
probably due to jealousy.
Jealousy Unfounded.
They declare that there was absolutely
no reason for Hart being jealous Of his
wife. as her conduct has always been
above reproach.
Mrs. Hart's condition. according to the
doctors. does not improve. and she is re-
ported to be no better than when she
came to the hospital.
