ANTHRACITE TRADE DULL.
Orders Few and Heavy stocks Of
Coal Accumulat ting.

The Coal Age says: THE paucity of
anthracite orders is evident in all direc-
lions. Conservative members OF the
trade agree that the summer dulness
has scarcely ever witnessed such a COM
bination OF extremely low prices and
light tonnage. Predictions as to the
future are more uncertain. In view of
the heavy stocks that are accommodating,
the selling agencies are less confident
OF the anticipated rush for coal this
fall. although labor difficulties may
compllcate the situation later.
"A slowing up in lake shippings is
throwing some additional tonnage back
on the producers. but II the fall move
ment out from the upper ports is of

'COpyriKht.l

Washington.-In a note to Germany
made public by the State Department
in the case of the William P. Frye, the
American vessel destroyed by the Ger
man commerce raider, Prince Eitel
Friedrich, this Government maintains
that Germany has violated treaty
obligation by destroying the vessel
and demands prompt payment from
Germany.
The following direct statement Of
the attitude of the United States is
made by Secretary Of State Lansing,
who signed the note:
"The real question between the two
governments is what reparation must
be made for breach of treaty obliga-
tions and that is not a question which
falls within the jurisdiction of the
prize court"
Note Delivered BY Gerard.
The note was sent to Berlin on June
"a. Ambassador Gerard cabled that
he had delivered the note Saturday
afternoon.
The American Government declares
that inasmuch as Germany has ad-
mitted liability for the sinking Of the
Frye under the treaty of 1928, prize
court proceedings are unnecessary and
not binding upon the United States.
Aside from the question of how the
indemnity should be paid, the note
brings out clearly the refusal Of the
United States to accept the contention
that Germany has right to stop the
carrying Of conraband by American
ships, "by the destruction of the con
traband and the ship carrying it.
While no mention of submarine war
fare was made in either the last Ger
man note or the present reply, occa
sion was taken to deny this right, be

Ell Paso, Texas.-Charges of con-

General Victoriano Huerta, former
President of Mexico, who was placed
under arrest at Newman, N. NJ, by
Federal officers.
Similar charges were filed against
General Pascual Orozco, who was ar

Huerta was released on $15, 900 bond.
Orozco's bail was fixed at $500 and
he also was released.
Ell Paso, Texas-Instead Of being
given an enthusiastic welcome by his
supporters, many of whom had gath
cred at the border, General Huerta
reached Ell Paso in the custody Of Fed

United States troopers.
The former Mexican Executive and
General Orozco were taken to the Gus
tom house here and later removed to
Fort Bliss, where they were held until
their bonds had been provided. Gen

denied he had intended to re-enter
Mexico at this time.
