Hungarian Leader Admits He
Gave Documents to CaiIIaux;
a Move in Party Politics

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The disclosure
of the relations between CASTOR Cal
mette, as editor Of the Paris Figaro. and
the present Hungarian government,
though advantageous to the defense Of
Nine Henriette Caillaux in her trial for
the killing of Calmette, was. in fact,
move in Hungarian party politics. Count
Michael Karolyi. leader of the Hungarian
radicals. said here last night on the eve
of his departure for Hungary.
Count Karolyi confirmed his part in
furnishing NJ. Caillaux with the papers
which the latter presented in court In
Paris yesterday. He said this was not
done as a service of one friend to an
other in trouble, though he responded af-
firmatively to question whether M.
CaillauX was a friend of his.
Gave Papers to cai11aux.
The papers were of this years date
Count Karolyi said. and We're two in
number One was a letter addressed to
NJ Calmette by personages in Budapest
and the other from him to them. Both
were written in French. The letters dealt
with arrangements for favorable state
ments by the Figaro, on Hungarian af-
fairs.
Count Karolyi handed the two docu-
through Paris on his way to this country
This was after the indictment of Nine.
Caillaux. The publication In the Paris
court of the fact of which the letters are
evidence. was satisfactory to him. the
count said.

THE letters" Count Karolyi con-

of whom it had been sought to make
Ia hero, was actually in the pay of the
Hungarian government and had under

Figaro. though Hungary adhered to an
alliance hostile to the international
group of which France is a member.

Pennsylvania BREAKS
COAL MINING RECORD
Production Reached Total of 265,.
306, 139 Short Tons, Worth
1886, ,22o, ,sSs.

Pennsylvania mined more coal in 1913
both anthracite and bituminous, than il
any previous year in the history Of tht
| industry. according to a statement jus
| issued by the United States geological
| survey from figures compiled by E w
Parker in cooperation with state officials
The production reached the enormous
total of 285. .3O6, 139 short tons. valued a'
the mines at $3ss. %. 1888. OF this. 81 .52a..
927 tons was anthracite. valued at $685.
1S1. 127. and 173. 7s1. .211 tons was bitumi-
nous or soft COAL valued at S193. .0S9. sos
The total tonnage broke the previous rec
ord for 1912 by 1909 O53 short tons, OF
nearly per cent. the proportionate in
crease being about the same for both
anthracite and bituminous. The gain ir
the value of anthracite, however, was
S11 ,55S.Jo1 or about 40 per cent, over
1912. and in bituminous coal $23 $50, 800
or IA per cent. The total gain over 191:
was SAL .227 $40. or nearly II per cent.
The magnitude of the coal-mining in.
dustry in Pennsylvania. as represented
minous mines. is probably little realized
The combined production of $50. 0.3O6. 13s
short tons in 1918 exceeded by more than
20 per cent the total production of the
United States in 1898. only fifteen years
previous 1t exceeded that of any other
Country in the world, except Great Brit
ain and Germany. and approached with
in less than 10 per cent Of Germany g
output.
From 1879 to and including 1900 Penn
sylvania contributed more than SO per
cent of the total coal production of the
United States, and the state still pro-
duces between 10 and 80 per cent of the
total.
Gain in Working Days.
There was decided gain in 1913 in the
number of working days made by the
employees in Pennsylvania in both the
anthracite and bituminous mines. the for
mer making an average of 251 days. COM
pared with 231 days in 1912. and the lat
ter 261 days. compared with 30 days in
1912 The anthracite mines gave employ
ment to 11J.I45 men and the bltumlnous
mines to 1916 men.
1t is pretty generally conceded by those
interested in the production of anthracite
that the limit Of annual production has
about been reached and that the yearly
output will remain fairly constant until
the period of decline begins.
Anthracite mining began between liO
and 1890 when a small quantity was pro-
duced for local consumption. To the close
of 1918 the production of anthracite had
amounted to 2.1S4.aJ0.OOO long Ions, OF
O. 446 696. .O1O short tons.
The first records of the production OF
bituminous coal in Pennsylvania cover
the year iS4O, when 464.S26 short tons
were mined. The output of bituminous
coal from 1910 to the close of 1918 has
amounted to :, ,131 ,945. .O53 short tons. from
which it appears that the total production
of bituminous coal in Pennsylvania now
exceeds that OF anthracite by over 2oO,-
OOOOOO tons.

She Is the only woman every appointed

Her appointment took place in the fol-

ii ii might not bc possible to do some

finally talked it over with the Chief of

would like to be appointed as a Special

Ccstion the chief rather welcomed. a

the effect that a Civil Service eNamina-

TAILORED SUIT

Refreshingly Simple for Out

While fashion may force us To frss 49,,

refreshingly simple In the country cos
the walking suit and the sports suit
are tailor-made and are designed. frs,
of all, on the most practical lines.
The suit in the illustration has sevor,,
features that are well worth copsjser,r.
for their distinctive cut and style rho
length of the coat, for Instance ,vbio,
is long enough for grace and vet sbort
enough to walk in easily. Both tweed
and homespun have tho advantages of
warmth, without much weight, and M
doubt, they were woven with this intent
Another point that attracts notice is
the high lap, although the lapels are lont.
and low and only two buttons are used IN
fasten the coat. The belt which is at the
waistline proper, is stitched to the coat
and is fastened by one of these two but
tons. The buttons arc used to fasten tho
sleeves, which are severely plain, without
even the cuff. or simulated cuff, which
has had long-continued vogue.
The skirt is cut with flare for greater

plaits that are stitched only to the knee
and add several inches to its width. Tho
stitched fold at the bottom of the skirt is
n revival of the style that was once used
on golf skirts, and, long, long ago, on
bicycle skirts.
It gives a certain finish to q skirt and
at the same time prevents any posst-
blity of its splitting or tearing at the
seams.
The hat shown In the illustration is SC.
verely simple, but the rolling brm keeps
1t from being hard, while the feather IN
placed at just the angle that gives it
dash.
And here, as In so many affairs, it
seems to be not so much what one does
as how one does it. The difference In tho
position of the feather is what distin-
guishes the amateur milliner from the
professional, while the artist is born, not
made.
Although the suit shown is primarily
intended for country or mountain resort,
unless the signs fail. it will not be long
before just such suits will be worn again
as street suits in town.
For the woman of leisure the plain coat
and skirt are not matter of much inn
portancc. but for the business woman tho
tailCr-made suit is a boon, indeed In
fact it is the only sensible thing that
can be worn in an office without getting

There had been a good deal of shooting

them at table, making tea and watering
their horses.
All their food was taken except potatoes.
and on them alone they lived for several
days Some OF the last Germans to pass
through, Major Stivers said, declared they
had had scarcely anything TO eat for three
days. He says he saw them eat raw pota-
toes and carrots

Paris had been cut, Major Stivers was un-
