CLEANUP DAY.

Members of the Indiana national guard in camp at Llano Grande, Tex, have not been able to wash or change their clothes as often as would be done otherwise, Therefore, in order to have the men put up their best ap- pearance for inspection, a general or der was given making one afternoon a time for cleanup. While the men were obtaining that virtue next to god Illness their apparel in some cases was novel. Some wore "blue denims' Cor oyeralls and jumpers), others wore nondescript materials, and some were attired only in a pleasant smile and a pair of shoes.
 The camp resembled a cooperative Chinese laundry The usual Llano Grande's serene landscape was broken by crowds of soldiers bending over buckets, tubs and washboards, trying to make old clothes look like new and signing for the comforts of home, chiefly laundries and dry cleaning es- tablishments Every available tree, post or tent pole was used as means of stretching clotheslines. Uniforms underwear, socks, towels and handker chiefs fluttered all afternoon in the gulf breeze.
 The men have been limited as to clothing, owing to the fact that there is a shortage of uniforms in the quar- termaster's department.

HAT COMPANY
 MISMANACED,
 Is ALLEGATION
Seek Appointment of Re ceiver For Fay German
 Concern in Danbury.

Argument for the appointment of a receiver for the Fay-Gorman Co.,, large manufacturers of hats in Dan bury, was heard yesterday morning by Judge Webb in a special session of the superior court held in this city.
 Though the name of John H. Vim cent, a hat manufacturer of Danbury was mentioned as receiver no decision was rendered today by Judge Webb who has asked the eminent counsel appearing before him to attempt an agreement which will prevent possible bankruptcy of the concern, Or at least ment of receiver that will be satis- factory to all. He has continued the hearing until II o'clock Thursday morning for this purpose.
 Application for the appointment of a receiver was made by Mrs. Fay Lee, a $5,000 stockholder in the company who alleges that business of the com pany has been mismanaged through internal distur rbances.
 The papers show that her husband, Frank Lee, is the largest creditor of the company to the extent of $50,000. Another creditor, H. McLachlan of Danbury holds claims for s20,00o. Another creditor is John Reid, of Bethel, who has claims of $4,000.
 An attempt to have McLachlan and Reid appointed temporary supervisors of the business pending the possible retirement of President German has not been successful.
 Attorneys appearing in behalf of the varied interests today were Judge Eugene c. Dempsey, Judge Martin J. Cunningham, J. N. Ives, and Judge Samuel A. Davis. Judge Webb in urg ing postponement of the case that counsel might agree, suggested that if it appeared reasonable for the busi- ness to continue, a receiver might be appointed but urged the contending counsel to agree if possible upon means that would best conserve the creditors interests.

CH|NA'SVAST
 COAL RESERVES

China is capable of supplying the coal demands of the whole world at the present rate of consumption for the next 1000 years. Experts place Chi mas vast coal reserves at not less than 1000, ,000, 100000 metric tons. So, to talk of the possibility of coal famine for very many years to come seems foolish
 MT. V. K. Ting, director of the Geo. logical Survey of China, throws some remarkable light on China's unique position as a great coal producer in an article which is featured in the current issue of The Far Eastern Review, the standard authority on Oriental indus trial and commercial matters. Much good work in the way of surveying China's resources has already been done by the official body of which Mr. Ting is the head.
 Coal" says MT. Ting, "is very wide ly distributed throughout China; there is not known to occur, but some are much more favored than others. The northeastern provinces Shansi, Chihli, Shantung and Honan are undoubtedly most important. Shansi is, in fact, the richest of all. Inner Mongolia as well as Manchuria are fairly well sup piled with coal, though in the former case it is less known. The northwest ern provinces are much poorer, though Kansu and Turkestan contain numer- ous coal fields.
 Both bituminous coal and anthra- cite occur in China, but the latter is probably more extensive, as the coal in Shansi and Human, the two richest provinces, is largely anthracite. An thracite has been, in fact, more readily used by the Chinese because it can be burned in open stoves without chim- neys. The bituminous variety has in recent years acquired increasing inn portance, as the coal now worked on a large scale is mostly bituminous; in fact out of about twenty machine worked mines, only three are mining anthracite.
 According to the statistics compiled by the Chinese Geological Survey, the production of coal of all kinds in all provinces in 1913 was about 15,00O,0O0 metric tons. It is>clear that the con- sumption of coal in China is surpris- ing1y small when compared with her population of approximately 100000 900. This is caused by the lack of transport facilities. Coal is a com modity which travels very far only in countries well supplied with railways. In China, where the price is often doubled by a days journey, coal for purposes is an article of lux ury except in those fortunate places situated very close to the mine or con- xryifh hu af communication. This is one reason why the Chinese people are now so very anxious to extend their present utterly inadequate railway facilities. China's vast coal reserve is practical reason why the United States should strengthen the ties, commercial and political, between China and America It will pay us to help develop China

STOCK MARKET ~~~~~~~~/

New York, Aug. 30-Opening threatened railway strike was again a disturbing influence at the outset of today's operations. which were at- tended by a series of irregular but substantial declines. kails and other investment issues were less affected, however, than specialties. the former, with the exception of Reading. yield ing only material fractions. Trading was active and more diversified than recently. The weight of the selling caused further recessions before the end of the first half hour.
 Noon-Rumors from Washington to the effect that the strike order might be postponed helped to rally the list before noon. Marines were the chief features, the common advancing three points to the new record of 43h with gain of 9s for the preferred. Mo- tors, particularly Studebaker, also threw off much of yesterdays pressure and U. S. Steel more than made up it's early loss of a point. Declines in rails were almost wholly regained, Union Pacific showing an actual advance. Bonds were irregular and dull except for the heavy trading in Anglo-French 5'S.
