CHEERS FOR PRESIDENT
WILSON ASKS If NATION is
READY FOR SACRIFICE.
Chief Executive Declares He Is Inter
ested in Seeing Load Depressing
Humanity Lifted.

Washington, April 15.-President
Wilson, speaking at Jefferson DAY
banquet Of Democrats from all parts
of the country hero last night, prayed
that the United States would not be
drawn into a quarrel not OF its own
choosing, but asked whether the peo-
pie were ready to go in where the IN
terests of America were coincldent
with the interests Of humanity, ana
have the courage to withdraw Wheh
the interests of humanity had been
conserved. He was interrupted by
cheers and shouts Of Yes"
The president mentioned the Euro
pean war and the Mexican question
without intimating what were MS
plans in either of the problems con-
fronting the United States.
He declared that in the present
situation the responsibility was with
the Democratic party because that
party controls the government.
The president declared that he was
not interested in personal ambition
nor even enthusiastic over party sue
cess, but that he was interested IN
seeing the load depressing humanity
lifted.
What the nation demands now, the
president said, is service essentially
nonpartisan, not only in consideration
of foreign affairs but in domestic af-
fairs as well.
Referring incidentally to Mexico, he
told of how a man had urged that
trustees for that nations welfare be
chosen, and of his reply that no ma
ton had achieved real prosperity and
happiness for it's masses through
trusteeship imposed on it from above.
1t was the first speech of political
nature the president had made for
several months. 1t was delivered be-
fore an audience including nearly all
the members of the senate and house,
Democratic state chairmen from many
states, and other high officials Of the
nation and states.
The president was referred to re-
peatedly as "the next president" by
Senators Hollis and Walsh and Rep
resentative Glass, who preceded him.

Alabama Coal.

The earliest known record of the ex-
istence of coal in Alabama was made
in 1884, but the first statement of pro-
duction in the state is contained in the
United States census report for 1910,
in which the amount mined is given as
GAG tons. The mines of Alabama were
probably worked to considerable ex-
tent during the Civil war, but there are
no specific records until 1870, for
which the United States census re-
ports production of 1000 tons. The
development of the present great in
dustry really began in 1881 and 1882,
when attention was directed to the
large iron deposits near the city Of
Birmingham. In 1914, according to
the United States geological survey,
the production was 15,593,422 tons.

TEST OREGON 1O-HOUR LAW
Brief Filed by State Insists Short
Hours Tend tc Better Use
of Leisure.

Washington, April 1.-THE state of
Oregon ten-hOur maximum work day
law is under test in the Supreme court
On an appeal by Franklin o. Bunting
of that state, who was convicted in the
state supreme court of having violat-
ed the law. He appealed to the higher
court on the ground that the state
law violated the fourteenth amend.
ment of the United States Constitu-
ton
The brief in the Oregon answer to
the appeal denies there is any con-
fiict between the state law and the
constitutional amendment, as set up,
and insists On the legality of the law.
In one part of the brief, it is argued:
After continuous work, a certain
amount of leisure and recreation is a
physiological necessity. The workers
condition determines in large meas
ure whether or not he takes advantage
of opportunities for self-improvement
or legitimate enjoyment. The work
er who has not exhausted his energies
by overeXertiOn turns instinctively to
the better use of leisure"

FAv0RS U. S. PLANT
SENATE PASSES AMENDMENT TO
ARMY BILL.
Provides Government Nitrate Factory
to Cost $4,000, ooo-House Yet
to Take Action.

Washington. April 17.-Champions
OF a government hydrO-electric plant
to produce nitrate for the manufac-
ture Of war munitions and fertilizer
won their fight in the senate on Friday
by inserting an amendment proposing
an appropriation of 100000 for that
purpose into the Chamberlain army
increase bill. The vote was 43 to p.
As the nitrate plant section in the
house bill was defeated when the Hay
bill was under consideration there,
final determination of the issue must
await action by the conference COM
mittee of the two houses.
The action was based on an amend
ment by Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima. 1t would provide for the sale Of
Panama-canal bonds by the govern
ment for raising the required $15,000,.
900 and the president would be au-
th0cized to designate not more than
five water-power sites to make them
available for power plants to manu-
facture nitrates. Products of these
plants not needed for manufacture Of
munitions of war would be sold for the
manufacture of fertilizer "and other
useful products"
Senator Wadsworth urged adoption
of his amendment to require officers
and enlisted men upon entering the
National Guard to take an oath to
obey the orders both If the president
and of the governor of their state
On a roll call for the proposal the
vote was % to %. less than a quorum,
and the senate recessed.

VICTIMS BURNED TO DEATH
Rescuers Unable to Aid Victims
Caught in Mass of Twisted Iron
Bodies Taken FROM Ruins Charred
Almost Beyond Identification.

Bradford, R. l., April 19.-The Gilt
Edge express, fast all-steel through
passenger train 'om Boston on the
New York, New Haven & Hartford

through the rear cars of local train
that was taking a siding at Bradford

In the grinding crash and fire that
quickly enveloped the two rear
coaches of the local, and spread to the
freight and passenger station near
by, at least six persons were killed,
and nearly forty injured.
The only person among the killed
so far identified is Jeanette Clark,

the injured suffered severe burns be-
fore they could get out of the wreck
age.
The local train, before starting to
take the siding, sent back flagman,

low over the tracks, but it was said
officially that the block signal was set
against the express, and that besides
its engineer had explicit orders to
stop at Bradford.
