RAMSAY PATENTS
NEW DEVICE FOR
SAMPLING COAL

Letters patent have just been issued
to Erskine Ramsay Of this city, who
is one of the foremost mining engi-
neers of this country, for an improved
method of sampling and checking
miners coal.
r. D. Johnston, Jr., who secured the
patent for Mr.. Ramsay, gives the fol-
lowing description of this new pro-
cess which has produced remark able
results at Banner mines:
THE purpose of the invention is to
obtain an accurate record of the char
acter and quality of the mineral mined
by each miner. which record will
serve also as check on the mineral
loaded into any given railroad car
and will indicate to the mine operator
not only the character of his total
output but will show clearly wha
parts of his mine are producing an in
ferior grade of mineral or showing ba d
mining operations so that he can
promptly correct the same. To be sue
cessful the invention should furnish
so accurate record of the quality OF
each miners output that fair and
luuiSputdDl6 DdSlS Call DC dIIlNcQ az
for penalizing or rewarding the miner
and this is particularly advantageous
in coal mining, where the percentages
of slate and of slack coal in each car
or the large proportion of all cars
should be ascertained in a simple and
effective manner to establish the av-
erage grade of each miners output.
The present system in force is to
select from time to time at random a
car of coal and have this entire car
picked by hand, and the percentage or
amount of slate in the car determined,
that one car being regarded as the av
erage of the particular miners output
until another car is picked. BY this
system an average of, say, per cent
of the total mine cars loaded by each
miner Is picked by hand and a fixed
penalty is assessed for certain amount
of slate. Some miners may figure that
they can ignore the slate examinations
and load more slate than they should,
with the idea that the reduced amount
of work and care necessary in loading
such inferior coal or product will more
than compensate them for the penalty
which may come, say, on an average,
once month. This system is there
fore too uncertain in its operation, 1T
being obvious that one car selected at
long intervals cannot give truly aver
age sample of all cars loaded by the
miner, for specimen cars selected at
different times in the day will gener
ally show different percentages OF
slate, slack and lump.
I'm the process patented to Mr.. Ram
say a daily record will be taken with
reference to each miners output by
devising a mechanical sampling mech
anism which will take fair aver
age sample of each car or large pro-
portion of the cars of coal as dumped
and these samples instead of whole
cars of coal are screened and the slate
separated by hand or otherwise, to
obtain truly average sample and
record as to slate, slack and lump of
the coal mined daily by each miner.
the avera ging of samples of a miners
daily coal can thus be taken and will
furnish a conclusive evidence of the
average condition of the entire coal rs
to slack, slate and lump loaded by him
each day. The fundamental feature OF

JUDGE STILES AND
 ASSISTANTS BUSY
 COMPILING LISTS
Names and Polling Places to Be Published by Probate Judge, Who Asks the
 Voters to Assist

Some job.' was the statement made yesterday by Judge J. P. Stiles and his corps of assistants in reference to ar ranging the names and voting precincts of Birmingham and Bessemer for pub lication in the newspapers between the 1st and 18th of April.
 In accordance with the provisions of an act passed by the recent legislature, dividing each precinct into subdivisions of 300 voters, and that list of the names of every voter be made and published, list. It is proving a big job as the name and address of every voter must be checked up and verified.
 At least 15 per cent of these names are neither in the city nor telephone di- rectory or in the census prepared by the board of revenue" said Judge J. P. Stiles, "and there is much difficulty in loca ting them. We are doing our very best in the matter but with all our efforts the job is about proving to be our master and there is little hope for a complete list unless the people come to our aid by calling at the courthouse and leaving their names and addresses to be listed.
 "The county Is required to publish this list in order to let everyone know where to vote, and after the first publication 10 days will be allowed for securing and listing all other names not included in the first list. When this is done the second list will be published and those who do not get listed will be left off"
 Not over 300 votes can be cast in any one ballot box under the new law, and a map of Greater Birmingham and Besse- mer has been drawn-up dividing the pre- cincts into subdivisions, where the ballot ing will be held. n'some of the precincts as many as F of these subdivisions have been created.
 In addition to the old registration 247O new registrations have been checked against the list.
 Judge Stiles suggested that the condi- tions could be relieved to a large ex- tent if voters who were not listed in the directories would come in and help to straighten things out, otherwise the mat ter would still be badly congested when election day comes.

said, land that she saw me give him the package unopened. will give her check for $1O00'
 Dr. Waite, according to the detective, thereupon signed what purported to be check for 5000 to the order of the girl, written by Schindler on sheet from his note book. The check now is in the possession of MT. Swann. Schindler said Waite did not know he was a de- tective.
 Dr. Waite was taken to the prison ward at Bellevue hospital tonight. MT. Swann said he wanted the dentist kept under the closest possible surveillance because Waite had expressed regret that the drugs he took Wednesday had not killed him and that he wished to die.
 When first questioned by MT. Swann on Tuesday, Waite is said to have laughed heartily and declared, Why, this Is rich, never purchased arsenic in my life and have never had any"
 In making his statement to the dis trict attorney today Waite was self-pos sessed and spoke with evident delibera- tion. But when he was questioned about the alleged misuse of s40.0O0 entrusted to him for investment by Miss Catherine Peck, sister of John F. Peck. and in re- gard to woman he had previously ad- mitted having lived with. he apparently became indignant. saying:
 'That has nothing to do with the sub- ject in hand"

AD DM|RAL FISKE IS DEEPLY RESPONDENT
 OVER NAW'S PLIGHT
Cannot Make It Equal of Any Afloat by 1925 on Account of Lack
 of Men

Washington, March z4.-Rear Ad- miral Bradley A. Fiske declared be- fore the House naval committee today that regardless of how many ships were built, it would be impossible to carry out the general boards plan for mak- ing the American navy equal to any afloat by 1925 because 1t would take 10 years longer to develop and train the personnel necessary to man the navy in first rank
 You can, if you appropriate enough money, build enough ships to equal the ships of any other navy in three years said the admiral, "but ships do not make a navy. You would not have the men, officers or training that would bring a navy up to first rank.
 ."Why, you can't train chess player in five years, and how can you train a. corps of strategists in that time! :! Great Britain has been eight hundred years training its men and building up its navy. We can never advance to first place until we change our system of direction and preparation for war. We can catch up with Germany in five years. As to training men. we need to
 train enlisted men, but the greatest need is the training of the admirals"
 Reiteratfng his oft-expressed opinion that the navy could not be made effi- cient as long as its policies were sub ject to change by every new Secretary of the Navy, the admiral urged legisla- tion for the establishment of a general staff with statutory powers and to de- fine and extend the powers of the chief of operations He agreed that the navy now needed battle cruisers badly but said the most urgent need was an ade- quate flying crops and pointed out that more could be accomplished in a year in the field of aeronautic than in capital ship construction
 Admiral Fiske, who has been cen ter of the storm of criticism of the navy's administration since he resigned as aide for operation year ago, was not inclined to dwell upon his differ ences with Secretary Daniels. In re- sponse to questions he said the Secre- tary had granted him a month leave oi absence when he asked for three months, and that MT. Daniels had told him he didn't want naval officers ir Washington talking to congressman and newspaper men.

HEADS OF RESERVE BANKS WILL MEET To Discuss Proposal for Clearing House for the
 United States

Washington. March 24.-Governors of the F federal reserve banks will meet here April 12, it was announced today, to discuss with the reserve board pro- posal to adopt standard clearing house system for the entire United States. The aim is to develop system under which checks may be cashed at par in any part of the country.
 Another innovation proposed is aboli- ton, so far as members of the reserve system are concerned of the custom of collection charges for cashing checks on out-of-town banks. The custom has ex- isted for more than 100 years and at tempts to abolish it have been stoutly opposed.
 The federal reserve board Is doubtful of it's authority to abolish the practice and has called on the Attorney General to in terpret certain clauses of the law bearing on this point.
 In considering the adoption of a stand- ard clearing house system, the governors and the board will sift half dozen or more proposals and will investigate sys. tems in operation in several reserve dis. tricts.

BORDER TOWNS UNEASY

Several messages from border states were read telling of apprehension in border towns. Senator Ashurst of Ari- zona made public a telegram from ranza troops with 40 cannon was con centrated within six miles of that place and protesting that American troops in the vicinity were not permitted to make preparations for defense. Help us before 1t is too late," the message said
 T am tired of trying to get anything done, Senator Ashurst said, explaining why he gave out the dispatch. Administration officials realize that the situation in Mexico is, at it's best, very delicate one, and that with col umns of American troops on Mexican soil, the widest sort of rumors must be in circulation as to what is transpir- ing. The circulation of alarming re- ports on the American side of the bor- der, officials feel, must be reflected in
 Mexico where the people can have no
 means of discriminating as to their truth or untruth. Signs were not lack
 ing today that steps would be taken to
 check such reports wherever possible. Army officers on the border probably
 will be cautioned against lending them selves unwittingly to the circulation of
 inhammatory tales.
 It became known tonight that the
 army has been considering the possi-
 bility of leasing the Federal Telegraph company's radio station at Fl Paso to
 keep in touch with the field columns Brigadier General Scriven, chief signal
 officer, said tonight, however, that it
 had been found that considerable ex
 penditure on the plant would be re-
 quired to make it serviceable to the
 army and there was little probability of it being taken over.
