by the prolonged strike in the east
ern Ohio districts, and the section of
West Virginia thus affected showed
an increased production over 1913.
Among the eastern states Ohio
showed the largest proportion of de-
crease, for in addition to the de-
pressed condition of business the la
Dor controversies in the eastern part
of the state kept a number of mines
Idle for practically the entire year.
The output of the state for 1914 is
estimated at barely 6 per cen OF the
output in 1918.
The production in the Mississippi
valley states is estimated to have de-
creased about 10 per cent, and the
estimated decrease in the Rocky
mountain states is between 5 and
10 per cent.
On the Pacific coast the constantly
extending use of California petro-
leum for fuel is the principal factor
of influence in the coal industry, al
though the depression in the lum-
Der trade in Washington had also a
reflected adverse influence on coal
production, which is estimated to
have been about 20 per cent less
than in 1913.
The opinion is generally express
ed that the chief effect of the war
in Europe upon the coal trade of
the United States was to retard or
prevent the return to more normal
conditions, which was about to be
accomplished when the val broke
out. The first three months of 1914
were of unusual activity. the high
rate of production of the preceding
year having been carried over into
the first quarter of 1914 and the
weather in January and February
having stimulated the demand to
some extent. Then came the slump
in the iron trade. general depression
in business, shut down of coke ovens
and a period of distress throughout
the coal mining regions which has
rarely been exceeded. The demand,
production and prices were all at so
INV oil tDD z ~ wal wv
that it is not believed to have had
any direct influence on the coal
trade. The quantity of coal export
ed from the United States, if COM
pared with the total production, a
not be considered very large, and so
far the greater part of it goes to
Canada, which has taken about the
same amount in 1914 as in preced-
ing years.
AS usual in times of depression
and of decreased production, there
was a plentiful supply of labor
throughout the bituminous Goa min
ing region during the entire year,
and for the same reasons there was
no complaint of inadequate trans
pCrtation facilities.

NOTES OF SYNOD

Whitehorse Star: Recent copies of the Dawson Daily News receiv- ed contain interesting notes of the doings of the fourth synod of the Yukon diocese which convened in Dawson on the 18th, all the min isters and lay leaders of the Angli- can church in the territory being present. The opening synod ser mon was preached by the venerable ArChdeacon Canham of Carcross, he having been a missionary in this territory for S3 years. Among the notes of the meetings of interest to WhitehorSe was the election of Rev. W. G. Blackwell of this place, as delegate to the general synod which convenes in Toronto in Sep tember. Another item says "Rev. W. G. Blackwell reported progress at Whitehorse and asked or three Or fCur thousand dollars to build a new church. The old one, he said. is unsafe. The vestry had al- ready something like $4OO towards the cost" It is expected that the delegates to the synod from South ern Yukon will return on the next steame! from Dawson.

STATEMENT OF THE
 LEO FRANK CASE
(Continued trom Page l.)

Continued trom Page 1.)
 That is another newspaper canard that l wish to correct. l propose to remain in politics, and would today have been United States sen atOr from Georgia, but for political chicanery. l was the choice of the people of the state, but the con vention was manipulated by shrewd and interruptions hands to my de feat. and the selection of man whose elevation is due to his aD- peais t. demagogic prejudice and passion.
 q want to say," and his fine firm face seemed to catch an indes- cribable expression of sadness, that the man worth while in this life is the man whose stamina is of such quality as will stand pros perity 1 may have lost out tem- porarily with the minimizing, the hot-headed and the prejudiced, but I would have felt myself but half a man had l sacrificed the life of Frand to gain a political ad- vantage"
 I asked him if his action in the Frank case would prevent his shy ing his caster into the coming sena- torial ring. Events of the near future will determine that. I go to Atlanta to practice my profes- sion, but should l feel l could serve my state in the senate cannot see how the performance of my duty would or could deter me from reaching that high position"
 "There is one other thing wisk to state" he said ill conclu- sion, and that is about the charges that monetary motives influenced me in the consideration of the case. This is but one of the many des- pie ble stories that were afloat. l want to say finally and emphatical- ly that Leo Frank was saved from the ignominy of the gallOws be- cause his conviction was a trayesty of justice, and the evidence offered did not justify the verdict"
 
 It may not be generally known but Coy. Slaton's personal fortune is so large as to brand as false on it's face the charge that financial req son dictated his action.
 A moments conversation with him is all that is necessary to bring the realization that you are in the presence Of a superior type of man, one of the bigtigures of contemporaneous history, and such of man, one of the big figures of altruistic and lofty ideals, cannot remain in obscurity.
