Coal Production
Is Increasing
Campaign Inaugurafrd to Stimulate
output M source ia Meeting with
Encouraging Response.

The production campaign of the fuel
istration. whereby IL is intended
to vastly increase the output of the
mines is meeting with encouraging re-
Spouse. Already there has been an APP
preciahfe increase in the product of the
mines, although there has been no adj
dttion to the man power at the mines.
The addresses being made by John T..
White and either speakers fer the pro-
6uction bureau throughout the country,
are being attended by large gatherings
of miners, and the men are displaying
a highly patniotic spirit,
1t la the aim to increase production
as much as possible with the present
la Dor forces before seeking to attract
recruits to the mining fields. In some
of the fields. IL not in a ajority of
them the workmen are reported as
making an average of only three and
one-half days per week. II the aver
age could be raised to Ave days per
week sufficient coal could be mined to
bring the mine output 10 one hundred
per cent of capacity.
With the first week of July the first
locomotive of the fourteen hundred or
dered by the railroad administration
was ready for delivery. other deIiv-
cries will follow quickly. Also. de-
livcries have been started upon the or
ders for nifty thousand coal ears. As
these locomotives and ears are brought
into service. the railroads will be able
to accept a much larger tonnage of
coal.
In anticipation OF this Improvement
in railroad facilities the fuel admins
tration makes it's appeal TO the mine
workers to stand at their posts ready
to load all tho cars that are offered.

PARIS, Dec. 10.


TT was Just after midnight on Friday,
October rs.
Two French detectives and a Paris
policeman crept silently to the door of a
small suite in a quiet hotel not far from
the Rue de RiyoH They knocked.
A dark, romantic looking gentleman eau
tiously opened the door. He was Don
Mario Cassasus, a Spanish grandee Of old
Mexico. The police pushed past him. A
lady loomed into their line Of vision. She
was Mrs. Frank J. Gould, Of New York.
That afternoon in the Correctional Court
of Paris, Mr.. Frank J. Gould presented the
evidence Of his detectives. The romantic
Mexican and the New York millionaire's
gay wife were adjudged guilty and each of
the pair was fined fifty francs-$10.
Mr. Gould had triumphed. The sordid
evidence spread before the Paris police
court would be ample to justify the divorce
suit Mr.. Gould had begun.
But wait!
1t is now the early dawn of the next day
-5 O'Clock on the morning Of Saturday,
October 26, to be exact. A police auto
mobile is moving swiftly down the Rue de
la Paix.
NJ Georges Valet, chief of the Detective
Bureau of the Paris Prefecture of Police,
followed by an assistant and three police
men approach the side entrance Of an
other hotel With a motion of his hand

This Mrs. Gould confirmed, adding that
she has no money to throw away for the
reason that during the time she spent in
France with her husband the latter never
gave her any money to throw away.

Unless the Paris Do
mestic Relations Tri-
bunal reverses the or

Tribunal, Mrs. Gould
further said. her all

Of the divorce suit will
be 5000 francs a
month instead OF the
1000 francs offered by
Mr.. Gould's lawyers
when a hearing on
this subject was held
in Versailles the other
wee;.
Another appeal made
by Mr.. Gould's attor-
neys to the Paris tri-
bunal has to do with
Mrs. Gould's petition
to have all. Of Mr..
Gould's personal and
immovable posses
sions in France placed
under the courts con-
troll pending the issue
Of the suit. Mrs.
Gould claims that un-
der French law, by
which the divorce suit
is being tried, she has
a right to have at least
one-half Of Mr.. GoIld's
possessions in this
country assigned to
her when she gets the
divorce for which she
Is suing. Mr.. Gould's
attorneys are fighting
this contention on the
ground that Mr..
Gould's permanent,
residence is in the
United States.
Mr.. Gould says that
he intends to fight
Mrs. Gould's claims in
a gentlemanly way,
abstaining from what
he describes as her
method of assiduously
spreading false ale
cations about him in
Paris society cirdes.
He says he was sorry
when he found that
the case against her
came up in the Tenth
Correctional Court at a
time when she was iii
with an attack OF
Spanish influenza. He
added that the whole
trouble between him
and his wife resulted
from incompatibility
of temper.
When asked what
she intended to do af-
ter the divorce suit
was over. Mrs. Gould
intimated that she
would go to the United
States and start an
other suit involving
Mr.. Gould's American
property. Meanwhile,
she said, she is busy
singing and dancing
privately, hoI ing in
this way to help dispel
