Fuel Briauet industry in 1915.

Over a million dollars worth Of bril-
auets were made out Of waste coal
dust in 1915, the exact production be-
ing POI, 537, short tons, valued at ST.
OBS, 716. This was the largest output in
the United States for any year with
the exception Of 1914. The manufacture
Of this type Of fuel is, however, still in
its infancy, and according to c. E.
Lesher of the United States geological
survey, a good many years will proba-
bly, elapse before the briquet industry
assumes very large proportions. The
work Of briquetting this low-grade
material and converting it into fuel
suitable for higher uses is, however,
practicable conservation and as such
deserves far more attention than it
now receives in this country. Euro
pean countries, more thrifty in their
use of coal, have developed the bri-
quoting industry to large proportions.
Most of the mechanical difficulties Of

manufacture have been solved in this
industry now depends upon the devel-
opment of markets for the product.
The producing plants are. however, SO
widely distributed and the total pro-
duction is so small compared with that
Of other kinds Of fuel that the condl-
tions affecting the market for the out
put Of each plant are more or less To-
cal and peculiar. In general, In the
East, briquets compete with anthracite
as domestic fuel, and nearly all the
output of the eastern plants Is man.
ufactured from anthracite culm. Inc
people of the eastern cities. accustom-
ed to the incompatible anthracite,
have not taken very kindly to these
briquets, probably largely because OF
the volume Of tarry smoke given Off by
nearly all kinds of briquets when they
are first ignited, and perhaps partly
because it has not been possible to Of
fer them at price enough lower than
that of anthracite to induce their ex-
tended use. Being made from the
cheaper sizes of anthracite, the bri-
Duets contain a greater amount OF ash
than the domestic sizes, and although
this ash does not clinker in the furnace
it reduces the heat value Of the fuel.
There were Is briquetting plants in
operation in the United States in 1915,
one less than in 1914. One new plant in
California reported an output in 1915,
and two plants, one in New Jersey. and
one in New York, ceased operations
The greatest increase in output was
made on the Pacific coast. the central
states recording little change and the
eastern states a large decline in out

WHITMAN Is ASKED
TO SAVE STIELOW
Another Legal Move Likely,
Too, in Effort to Rcprieve
Double Murderer.

With the hope OF saving Charles r.
Stielow from the electric chair practi.
cally eliminated by the refusal on
Wednesday OF Supreme Court Justice
R~odenbeck in Rochester to grant tho
condemned man a new trial. those fight
ing for the mans life began yesterday a
new campaign in his behalf.
Mischa A~ppelbaum. head Of the Hu-
manitarian Cult. sent a Geographic APP
peal TO Gov. whitman asking commu.
tation to life imprisonment and followed
tho appeal by another to John s. knick-
erbocker. District Attorney OF Orleans
county. where Sticlow was convicted,
calling on the lawyer to join in the pc
tition for clemency on tho ground that
knickerbocker had admitted Stielow's
mind was "%befuddled."
These appeals, according to New York
lawyers Interested in the case. will be
FOLLOWED by another legal move-a last
recourse. They would not disclose its
nature, but It Is thought possible they
will go before another Justice Of the SUI
preme Court asking for n new trial on
the ground OF newly discovered evil
dence. A mass meeting will be held next
Tuesday In Carnegie Hall to protest
against the execution OF the death SEN
tence.
Stielow was convicted last year OF
the murder Of Charies Phelps and his
housekceper. Margaret Wolcott. in West
Shelby, y. Y. He received four respi,es
from tho chair. one within n Few minutes
of the time he was to pass through the
little green doc and after his head had
been shorn n his trouser leg split for
the application OF the electrode.
In the argument before Justice Ro-
denbeck much attention was paid 10y
Stielow's lawyers to "A confession made
August 10 by Erwin King. a horse
trader, who declared that he and an Au.
burn prisoner, Clarence O'Connell. had
done the ouble killing. The Justice held
that the confession was invalidated by
kings subsequent recantatIon.
Among those who have taken part In
the fight for Stielow are James W Os-
borne. Stuart NJ. kohn. Mrs. Grace
Iiumiston. Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissc.
vain. Huntington W. Merchant OF New
York city. David A. White OF Albion
and Arthur sutherland OF Rochester

cause OF the u~nequalled programme OF
social leg islation he has put through ir

self the servant OF the mass Of the peo'
pie. who do not want war.
