New York city uses more than 100000 tons of anthracite coal every year. The rate of consumption is about two tons of coal for each inhabitant per annum. Ae- ecrding to the Coal Trade Annual" 676 per cent of all the hard coal shipped is used in the three states, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Anthracite is the logical fuel for large cities. In these thren states are New York, Philadelphia. Pittsburg, Buffalo, Newark, Jersey City, Rochester, Syracuse, Scranton, Paterson and Albany, whose combined population IS S.600,000 The New England states re- eeive 14-1 per cent of the anthracite shipped. Boston, Providence Worcester, New Haven, Fall River, Lowell, Cam bridge and Bridgeport, with combined population of 1,6O7.OO0 people. are large eonsumers of anthracite. The western states consume 11.2 per cent, the Domin- ion of Canada 3.6, the southern states 31, and foreign ports 01 of the anthracite shipped.

An English Murder Mystery

Scotland Yard, which is always a name to conjure by when one is writ ing detective fiction," is just now working on wholesale murder case which, a veracious correspondent de- clares, promises to put into the shade any chapter in the annals of English crime in the last quarter of a century, not expecting the Crippen story"
 The present mystery is called "the brides-dead-in-a-bat case, a title to arouse interest and speculation. Several weeks ago man was arrested on the charge of forging marriage certificates. He gave his name as George Smith and his residence as Holloway, in the northern.part of Lon- don. His wife was found dead in a bathtub the morning after her mar riage to Smith, who posed at that time as Albert Lloyd. The inquest over Mrs. Lloyd's body resulted in a verdict of death from natural causes, but the police became suspicious and discovered that marriages and funer- als had been frequent in Smiths past life. Two previous wives had been found drowned in their baths in the same way that Mrs. Lloyd was found. All three bodies have been exhumed to be examined for traces of poison.
 In the past six years Smith is be- lieved to have averaged at least one new wife annually. Of these four are known to be dead, while two others, one of whom lives in Canada, will con- front him in court next week, when the charge against him will be

More Truck Farmers Needed

When the Chamber of Commerce farm movement committee was cre- ated several years ago it accomplished something in a practical way by arousing interest in truck farming in Jefferson county. AS result of the exploitation of the Birmingham dis trict as an inviting field for market gardening many homeseekers ot trucking experience were induced to buy small acreage and settle here abouts.
 The farm committee appointed by President Crawford Johnson for the current year is composed of men who have taken especial interest in the home market problem. Some of them were prominently identified with the recent crop diversification campaign and everyone of them appreciates the importance of an expansion of the trucking interests around Birming- ham as a far-reaching economic proposition.
 Jefferson, embracing as it does, the immediate Birmingham district, is generally known only as a mining and manufacturing county. Birmingham and Jefferson are fixed in the popu- lar mind as great industrial entities. According to the federal census sta tistics gathered in 1910, the manu factured products of Jefferson county totaled in value that year $50, ,000,0 ,000. But notwithstanding the fact that this is the industrial center of the south, there is extensive agriculture within a radius of 25 miles of Birmingham. Within the wide area of Jefferson county there are between four and five thousand farmers, including about 200 truckers.
 With well directed efforts on the part of the Chamber of Commerce committee the number of truck farm CTS should be appreciably increased within the next twelve months, and more than doubled within the next two years. Let the new committee take up its work with vim and push it without Tagging and Fruitful will be the results.

changed to murder. It is also said that Smith married another woman in Canada, who died soon afterward un- der mysterious circumstances. His motive in marrying these women and then murdering them is thought to have been to get their life insurance. 1t is believed that he succeeded in having each prospective victim in- sured for large amount.
 The fertile brain of Conan Doyle could not invent murder mystery more absorbing than this. The very name, "brides-dead-in-a -bathtub" case, is like the title of Sherlock Holmes story. One can hardly read the bare facts without half expecting MT. Holmes to make his appearance and set his well known wits to work, to the great discomfiture of Scotland Yard.

THE ENGLIsHMAN SPOKE
From the New Republic.


 In second-class railway carriage, go- ing from Lausanne to Paris I once passed a night of conflict. On my side were a Swiss who spoke English and an English man who didn't speak. Our opponents were two members of the Latin race. They wanted the windows shut. We want ed at least one window open. Our com mon sense drew the three of us together. At first the Englishman's expression had seemed to wonder whether the Swiss and the American were quite worthy to prefer fresh air. As the night wore on this ex- precision waned, and I thought I de- tected trace of sympathy in the glances he sparingly aimed at us
 In answer to my question the Swiss ex- plained his mastery of the English lan- guage by saying he had learned without teacher, just by sitting near an open window. in tub of cold water. At this the Englishman almost spoke. Morning came He filled his pipe and began to hunt through his pockets for matches. The Swiss offered him box. Thank you." he answered gravely.

The Virginia Governorship


 Although the gubernatorial primary in Virginia does not take place until 1917, many candidates have formally announced said a member or BIT mingham's Virginia colony. Congress man Carter Glass is a prospective can- didate. but he will not say positively whether or not he will run until later on. Among those who are actively in the race is Lieut.. Gov. J. Taylor FL tyson. Although not quite 6S years of age, he served with distinction in the Confederate army He is now an5 has been for 22 years chairman of the state democratic committee. He is also d member of the national democratic committee. Mr. Ellyson deserves well of the democratic party and of old Virginia, and l hope to see him win; but if he should do so he will break an unwritten law of his state-a very unjust law. I think-namely, that no citizen of Richmond or even of the congressional district in which Rich mond is situated. can become gover nor. Mir. Ellyson was born and reared in Richmond. In the long history Of Virginia no Richmond man has ever been honored with the governorship. But Mir. Ellyson may make it.
