Coal Vein Being De-
yelOped.

Mr.. w. B. Gunton, Of Plain
field, N J., has returned to
Wylhe county and is develop
ing a vein of coal near Clark S
Summit in this county. The
vein runs from hree to seven
feet and is smokeless anthra-
cite. Several years ago Mr..
Gunton was here to develop
the property and met with a
serious accident in the mines,
which prevented him from do
ing any work along that line
fer sometime and after his re-
covery the price OF coal was
too low to justify working the
vein. The present prices OF
coal are such that the mine
can be worked on paying
basis and it is to be hoped it
will only be a short time until
Mr.. Gunton, will be shipping
large quantities Of coal.
Within a mile or two of the
coal deposit that is being de-
veloped Mr.. Shortt recently
discovered a fine deposit Of
iron oar, which he is develop
ing With the advance on
iron this should be made a
paying operation as the vein is
within two or three hundred
yards OF the Norfolk and
Western Railway-Wythe-
vile Enterprise.

Japan EXPLAINS
TO GREAT BRITAIN
Exposition Of Demands on China
Said to Have Allayed
English Fears.

Washington, April 26.-The Japanese
government has given TO Great Britain
detailed explanation of the demands
made upon China. As a result it is
said that apprehensiOns in London as
TO the scope Of the Japanese policy in
China have been relieved.
The report to-day from Peking that
the conference had been resumed and
that Japan now had presented twenty
four demands. including the twenty
one originally made, was received with
much interest in Washington. 1t is eX-
pected that Minister Reinsch will re-
port tomorrow the result of the re
newal of the parleys.
Some observers think Japan may
have renewed the plan 10 obtain
China's approval in principle to the
demands. With such an acceptance it
is thought Japan might not be disposed
to press for detailed agreement on
many of the points, preferring 20 have
the present negotiations stand as an
expression 20 the world Of Japan's in
tercsts in China.
The report from Peking that some OF
the railroad concessions now demanded
by Japan encroached on the so-called
sphere of influence" of Great Britain
in the Iang-tse Valley was Offset by
the belief here that Japan's explana-
lions TO London and Sir Edward Crews
speech in Parliament indicated that
Japan was I'm constant communication

WALL STREET LURE
BALKED BY LOVE
Wife Hurdled Bars Set by
Brokers, Who Sue
for S62,77S.

Il was a bearish story told yester-
day in the Supreme Court by Mrs.
Sarah L. Robertson, wife Of Or. Jo-
seph Archibald Robertson. well known
surgeon. Mrs Robertson was addicted
TO specializing in the stock market,
h-r husband was unalterably opposed
TO what he called gambling in Wall
Street" there was much domestic un-
happiness and even separation for
time.
Worst OF ell. said the vile, she was
not permitted to stop even when she
explained to her brokers that her in
fatuation for the market had brought
her much unhappiness at home. Now
II. Content q Co. altge that she owes
them SG2,778 on he: transactions IN
L. p. Steel and other securities. Mrs.
Robertson says that on one occasion
the firm promised her profit Of 3d.
OOO She still has the promise.
Mrs. Robertson on the stand yester-
day referred TO Mr.. Content as Harry,
their families being on intimate social
terms. and she called William &. An
derson. who induced her TO transfer her
account from another firm to the Con-
tent concern. Billy. Subsequently she
attended a luncheon given in their Of
fee. There were many other luncheons,
Harry really proving himself a good
entertainer, according to Mrs Robert
son.
There were also automobile rides and
presents, and even an offer Of trip to
Panama for the defendant and her
husband. However, these social affairs
were not so enjoyable for Mrs. Robert
son. for she said the small talk was
always Of the market, and that only
reminded her Of her domestic unhappl-
ness.
When Content called her one day in
August, 1912, said Mrs. Robertson, who
had left her home and registered at a
hotel under an assumed name, she told
hi 4 that she wanted 20 close her ac-
count. 81 told him." she testified,
chat the doctor objected to gambling
in Wall Street, and he told me it must
stop" Mrs Robertson explained her
living apart from her husband by say
ing that DR.. Robertson had told her it
was "unbecoming for a lady TO gamble
iu Wall Street, and would have 70
take separate apartment
Mrs. Robertson said she told Con-
tent mat my nome was very unhappy,
and as ! valued my home more than
my stock transactions ! wanted to close
my account She added that the
broker told her not to be Influenced by
the objections of her husband, and on
his promise TO give her profit Of
$4,000 on the investment she gave him
a check for $4,000. Her sister, Mrs.
Joyse, also protested against her
speculative career.
The trial will be continued to-day.

American animals were the most dit-
fcult of any TO bag Among the bros
shot by Cherrie were many species
hitherto unknown to science, the eN-
plorer said, because they were taken
in a region that had never been ade-
quately explored or shot over
The expedition sailed from New
York December 26 las, and wen; at
once to Peru. There the government
extended them assistance that enabled
them TO get into the high regions IN
little time.
I'VE hunted the vicuna and the
guaraco several days IN the highest
Andes," declared Mr.. Day, who was
the leader Of the party. Then we
crossed Lake Titicaca, about the shores
Of which Cherrie made wonderful
collection of high altitude water birds.
We went over the Cordillera Noun
tains on the front of a locomotive, and
took 10000 feet of moving pictures Of
the scenic wonders and of wild birds
and animals that fed before the train.
After the explorers had crossed
Bolivia and equipped themselves with
pack train of twenty-four mules,
their hardships began. They had de
scended the last slopes Of the Andes
and were in tropical country when they
ran into a flooded region. A journey
that should have taken them six days
was made in twenty-four.
The party struck the Mamore River
and descended that TO the MADEIRA and
finally TO the Amazon.

St. Cyr, Who Shocked Bar
Harbor with Bizarre
Clothes and Speed Mania,
Soon Recovered from the
Death of Aged Yonkers
Wife, Who Left Him
100000.

negro porter on a Pennsylvania
train brought news to town yesterday
of the honeymooning Of Jean II. +.
Saint Cyr, husband of the late Mrs.
May Redfeld, of Yonkers. and his
bride. who was formerly Mrs. James
Henry Smith, widow of "Silent" Smith.
They were on his train until it reached
West Philadelphia, where they got Off.
A party of friends who had journeyed
to the train to meet them turned away
disappointed by this news, as they
were anxious to welcome them to town.
1t was reported last night that they
were in Atlantic City.
One of them told Of the various ways
in which Saint Cyr attracted unusual
attention last season at Bar Harbor
lie was especially noticed not only be-
cause of his aged wife, who died at
their Yonkers home last New Years
Day and left him 100000, but also
because of his own attire.
HE shocked conservative Bar Har-
Dor last summer" this friend said,
"by appearing in snow white riding
breeches, pink silk sweater and a
dropping Panama hat, with a flowing
sash, when out for Canter.
But his most exciting escapades
were accomplished in the touring car
his wife gave him. He had a speed
mania, and this took him to the police
station three times. He always flashed
500 bills to pay his fine with. and
once embarrassed the court as there
