COAL ISSUES ARE STRONG

New York. Jan. 1S-Today's stock mar
ket fairly bristled with interesting Incl
dents The volume OF business was the
largest since the reOpeninE of the eX-
change, dealings were broader and IN
terest was well distributed.
Commission business is small and floor
traders are doing very little. This is
important, for the activity OF the dealer
on margins and the jumping about Of the
floor operator are not clements OF
strength.
New stocks are coming to the front.
Coal issues were strong today under the
lead OF Reading. which crossed l49. This
stock still carries great possibilities in
the working cut OF the segregation of the
mining companies from the railroads. A
majority Of the stock is held by one of
the cOuntry's strongest banking cOmbina-

be distributed when plans to segregate

STANDARD BARREL.
We Know Now just How a Barrel o.
Any Commodity Is.
tWaShngton Post)

Beginning next year the standard
barrel viii contain 1856 cubic inches
and this viii apply to all commodities
except cranberrles.
Heretofore, the man who bought a
barrel Of anything could have NJ ac-
curate conception of the size or the
amount the barrel would hold, except
as he might guess from having seen IL
.at the time of purchase He had come
to expect that his barrel of apples II
bought, would not be of the sugar
barrel size: and If he sold he knew.
BEYOND that, 1t was a guess. And il
has been about the same with pro
ducers retailers and consumers the
country over, There has been ne
standardization that was followed
though the old arithmetic told what
was the contents Of a standard barre,
in cubic inches As matter Of fact
the size of the barrel has varied about
as much as the contents. and as To the
consequent misunderstandings an.
chicanery there has been no limit.
The new law, signed by President
Wilson Just at the close Of congress,
attracted little attention at the time.
hu its Importance promises to be far
reaching contributing to compulsory
honesty perhaps quite rs much as y
standardization, and perhaps helping
to stimulate the practice of buying by

THE new LIQUOR LAW
IN ACTION POCATELLO
THE HAMMOCK COUNTY HOTEL
CLOSED BY INJUNCTION
GUESTS VACATE.

Behind the massive office counter In
the Bannock hotel in Pocatello, over
which the brains of idaho have bent
for years, there now sits a morose
deputy sheriff, says the Boise States
man. The nimble bell boys no longer
fit about alertly for tip prospects, ap-
petizing Odors emanate not from the
dining room, smoke Wreaths ascend
no more from the lobby. Yea, the Ban
mock is in the hands of the authorities,
and the Gateway city found itself with
a. lot of company on Saturday night
with no handy place to stow them. The
sheriff was obdurate. The county at.
torney had spoken. W. F. Kasiska, the
proprietor of the Bannock, had been
found guilty Of having joywater on his
premises. Wherefore the BannocK
was alleged to be a common nuisance
to be abated, for be it known that I'M
der the new liquor law that went into
effect last Saturday citizen must II },
even permit his breath to smell or
chewing gum flavor. Five thousand
dollars bail bond for Kasiska an0
eight thousand for Dick Jones, who
is alleged to have served the fermen--
ed grape juice.
Warnings Ineffective.
The complaint alleges that Mr.. KaS-
iska's memory is defective; that or
sundry and divers occasions he han
been demonstrated with and even pun
ished for dispensing exharating wat
ers within the confines of his hotel:
that notwithstanding the repeated
warnings and legal flagelations he
would not desist and confine his liquor
or the product of that grand ruminant,
the COW. Said cOntraband liquid hav-
ing been served in a room that formed
d part of the hotel building proper, the
entire caravansary was contaminated
and out must go the guests forthwith.
Out they went and in went the deputy
sheriffs. The travel stained dele

other quarters; irate travelling men
who had wired for reservations as
usual. were waved back to the street
by the grim officers of the law There
was much resentment and crashing
of teeth. But laws cost money to
enact and they must be enforced.
The Ronnock hotel is closed, and
closed it win remain until there is a
hearing on the injunction granted by
Judge Guheen through which the clos
ing movement was affected.

AMADoR AGAIN IN COURT.
Action Brought to Set Aside Receivers
Sale of Property.

According to the following taken
from the Muscular of last Saturday
the Amador has again been brought
into court on a question involving the
validity of the sale of the mine by the
receiver:
in department No. of the district
court yesterday Judge Theodore Lent
heard the motion of a number of cred :
itors concerned to set aside the re-
ceiver's sale of the properties of the
Amador Consolidated Mining and De-
velopment company, which was made
last October. The property involves
all of the Amador townsite and the So
called Eidell addition and the Eidel
extension to the town of Superior, a
large number of mining claims and
millsites and large amount of farm
ing land.
"The motion was argued and sub
mitted and taken under advisement by
the court"

eERMANYs BIGGEST eLuNoER
CNew York Evening POST

While German newspapers are
giorying in the infamy of numbering
women and children at sea, an Italian
newspaper speaks a true word. The
Messaggero declares that the eorpelo-
ing of the Lusitania is a more heavy
blow to the German cause than woule
have been the loss of a great battle
The German government. in its Off
cial statement, has not word or ra-
greet that so many lives of non COM
batants and neutrals were lost. All
Is military mereiessness. 1t was
brilliant success" But Germans in
this country know better One of
them was quoted in Yesterdays papers
as saying-what. in fact, has been
heard from other German Americans
and must be in the hearts of all OF
them-that the sinking of the Iusl-
tania was the biggest bmnder that the
German authorities had been guilty or
since the beginning of the war.
1t really seems impossible that Ger
man rulers had left for themselves
climax in deeds fitted to shock the civ
ilized world, and to bring upon the alb
horrence of all humane people, bu.
they had, and they have now attained
1t. Solemn treaties made scraps of pa
per; Belgium trampled into bloody
mire; Louvain followed by Rheims
asphyxiating gases-it seemed hard to
make that atrocious record blacker,
but 1t has been done.
AS If the ruthless militarists now
in control of the German govern
ment were DESTROYS of depriving their
at one stroke, of every re-
shred of sympathy in neu-
trail lands, they devised this crime OF
the innoceny so as 10

RIGHTS OF BUSINESS.
Too Much Legislation Telling Busl'
ness Men What Not to Do.


The federal trade commission has
sanely decided to consider all business
men and corporations honest until real
evidence Of their guilt is presentec,
This is an American principle that
should be followed by all men in pub
lie office Probably it is as far as the
trade commission can go under the
law creating It, But there is need for
something more.
In his address before the Southern
Commercial congress at Muskogee.
Okla, George W. Perkins observed
hat the laws of the United States now
are such that no man can find out
what he can legally do in business. He
continued:
mo lawyer, court or president can
tell him. While his transactions may
clearly be proper, morally and flnanc-
tally, the laws are so vague that one
government official can take one posi-
ton and another government official
another and the courts can and are
doing the same thing New enter
prises, new undertakings that mean so
much to any country will not be start
ed until this uncertainty is over"
Mr.. Perkins has revealed the very
crux of the business mans problem.
He has gone to the very root of the
and unintelligent policy of
the American government toward
business. Business men are told in
countless conflicting laws what they
cannot do Even the Sherman law it.

MUCH METAL RECOVERED
FROM JUNK AND WASTE
SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS
ANNUALLY.

In 1914 the value of the Secondary
metals" exclusive Of gold, silver, plat
mum, iron, and steel, recovered in the
United States was $57,O39,7O6 accord
ing tn ! p. Dunlop, of the United
States Geological Survey. This is a
decrease from 1913 Of $15,746,321, the
secondary metals recovered in that
year being valued at $72,7S6,O27.
The term secondary does not i'm
ply that these metals, which are re-
covered from scrap metals, sweepings,
skimmings, dresses, etc, are of infer
Tor quality, but is used to distinguish
them from ore While the survey
figures relative to lead zinc, copper,
aluminium, tin, and anthony given in
this statement cover a large field and
form an essential addition to the re-
ports on primary metals, the scope Of
the inquiry probably reveals less than
one-half the extent of the waste
metal trade. The value of the old iron
and steel reused amounts to millions
of dollars.
Railroads Contribute Much.
For few proposes requiring espe-
cial purity of material 1t IS necessary
to employ primary or virgin pig metal,
but as a general rule secondary met
ais can be used in whole or in part,
and most boundaries use them. The
and railway centers
the bulk of the metal waste
and when trade and consequently
are dull the production
of scrapmetal declines. Over 80 per
cent Of the refining and smelling of
and scrap metals in the United
States is confined to the territory east
of st. Louis and north of Ohio river.
The output OF secondary copper
(including that in brass) in 1914 was
1882 tons, being over % per cent
of the primary copper smelted in the
United States from domestic ores dur
ing the year
Secondary Lead and Zinc.
The secondary lead recovered
amounted to 61,062 tons, equal to over
II per cent of the primary refined leao
produced in the United States.
The amount of secondary zinc re-
covered in 1914 was 1852 tons, equal
to over 20 per cent of the production
of primary zinc during the year.
The recovery of secondary tin Is Of
Importance, there being no
tin ore smelted in the United
States. However, some tin concen-
trates were exported from Nome,
Alaska, in 1914. The secondary tin
recovered in 1914 G2.447 tons, valued
ut sS.S87,15S) was over rs per cent of
me tin imported during the year.
In aluminium the recoveries in 1914.
amounted to 1922 tons, valued at
$1.673,140.
Copies OF the detailed survey state
ment of the secondary metal output
can be had on application to the Direc-
tor U. S. Geological Survey, Wash
