RECORD OF FAILURES
GROWING BETTER

There were 1910 commercial fall
ures In the United States In the first
half Of 1915, with an aggregate
indebtedness. as reported TO r. G.
Dun q Co. Of slss,bs7 1886. In num-
Der and amount this exceeds any
similar period in the past and com
pares with S,543 defaults, supplying
$lS5, 099, 730. In the corresponding six
months OF last year. The relatively
moderate increase In the liabilities is
because the total in 1914 was distorted
by the Clahin suspensions, which in
volved upward Of $l0,000,000.
OF late there has been n trend to-
ward improvement and returns for the
second quarter, though showing fully
1900 more reverses than in 1914, give
reduction Of 500 failures and Of
nearly $23,000,000 from the opening
three months Of the current year. The
record since 1907 follows:

Extra Dividend on Capital Stock
Steps Taken TO Fulfil
Court Mandate.

Directors Of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Coal Company,
which recently was ordered by the
United States Supreme Court 10 sever
al its connections with the railroad,
yesterday declared an extra cash divi-
dend Of 80 per cent on the 5000, 700

lar quarterly payment Of 2i2 per cent,
al Of which goes to the shareholders Of

Steps were also taken TO comply with

soon az his successor could be selected,
and arrangements were made TO procure
ONCE accommodations separate from
those Of the Lackawanna Railroad. Mr..
Loomis explained that the recent man
date Of the Supreme Court would call
Tor few changes other than those OF q

The principal change is in the con-
tract entered into between the rail-
road and the coal company whereby the
former agreed to sell its coal 90 the
latter az 50 per cent Of tidewater prices.
This clause, it is understood, will be
substituted by one naming a fixed price

Of coal for domestic consumption.
The declaration Of an extra dividend
on the coal company's stock created
confusion on the curb market, where

First Wheel Clock.

Some say that Archimedes made the
first wheel clock as early as 200 b. c.
Others give credit to Wallingford, who
lived so late as the beginning of the
fourteenth century. But the most per.
feet water clocks were, long before the
latter period. furnished with wheels,
80 that the only improvement was the
substitution of solid body to act as
a moving weight instead of water. The
oldest complete clock moved by
weights is probably that sent by the
sultan of Turkey to Frederick III. in
1882. In the thirteenth century many
of the church steeples In Italy We're
furnished with clocks moved by
weights. which struck the hours. Hele
of Nuremberg is supposed to have con.
structed the first watch In 1900, and to
him must also be given the credit Of
the spring clock. The fusee was prob
ably invented In England about the
end of the sixteenth century. But IL
was not until the middle of the seven
teenth century that the pendulum was
first applied to clocks by Huyghens.

VILLA ZApATA TROOPS
SURROUNDING oBREGoN

FL Paso, Texas, April 15.-Ofiicial
reports that the Obregon army at
Celaya was being surrounded by VII
la Zapata troops were confirmed to.
day by private advi.es from the south
II was stated that while Villa again
was attacking Celaya General Ange-
les had arrived from Monterey with
1900 men and large amount OF ar
tlllery to assault the Carranza posi-
ton from the east, while General
Banderas with from 5000 to 10000
Zapata troops three days ago had
reached San Juan del Rio, Just south
of Queretaro, Obregon's base.
Together with this information
came details OF the first battle of Ce-
laya in which the Villa army was de-
feated severely last week. The Car
rama commander allowed the enemy
to enter the outlying districts of the
town and then showered the crowd
ed streets with machine guns and
shsapnel fire. The villa troops Heu,
leaving large numbers of killed and
wounded in the streets. Villas loss
es in this battle were estimated at
1000 killed wounded and captured.
One thousand of the Villa wounded
were sent to Guadalajara.
Conditions at Mexico City We're re-
ported quiet in adyices reaching here
today. The situation caused for the
want of food supplies, however, was
still critical. A German citizen on
the first of the month was probably
fatally wounded by Zapata soldiers
who sought to rob him in street of
the capital.

Michigan is said to have the deep

Ing mined at the depth OF 5000 feet in
the Catlin shaft, the deepest gold mine

Considering the small and uniform in

and the fact that there are apparent

lieved that mining can be carried on
