continually on the problems of the
war, on the international problems of
the peace which is to close and justify
the war, and on the tremendous prob
lens, social and industrial, with which
we shall be faced after the war is
ended. This being SO, the very fact
of my intense appreciation of the
magnitude of the New York State in
terests with which the Governor of
New York State must deal forbid my
undertaking a task to which I could
not bring the whole of whatever

INCREASED COAL PRODUCTION
New Veins of Anthracite Found in
the Lehigh Region.

Hazelton, Pa, July 19.-Increased
production of anthracite coal is in
dictated in the Lehigh region by the
discovery of new veins and by I'M
portant improvements intended to in
crease the output.
Beds Of virgin anthracite have been
found under the Tomhickon reser-
voir, west of Hazelton and prepare
tons are being made to clear the val
ley of water and strip the veins. The
coal can easily be prepared for the
market, mining engineers say.
In the Cranberry district 22-inch
vein of coal has been uncovered and
this will be stripped and the coal
marketed.
Production of fuel will be increased
by revival Of long abandoned work
ings. The Hollywood Colliery of
Pardee Bros. & Co., abandoned thirty
years ago because it was supposed to
be worked out, will be reopened this
summer because of the great demand
for fuel. A shaft has been driven
into lower veins that were deemed to
be inaccessible in the eighties. Tun-
nels are now being run to get out the
anthracite. A complete electric equip
ment will furnish power for several
hundred miners.

Investigation in Boston.

| Boston, July 23.-An investigation
| was started yesterday to determine
| why bombs carried by naval aviators
| failed to explode when dropped on OF
near the German submarine which at
| tackled the tug Perth Amboy and her
barges off Cape Cod.
Experts at the headquarters of the
First Naval district here said the
bombs were sent to the various naval
districts with explicit instructions that
the mechanism must not be over
hauled or any effort made to improve
it. The supposition was that they had
been officially tested. 1t was report
ed that some of the aviators had said
that some Of the bombs had failed in
tests.
Rear Admiral Spencer s. Wood,
commanding the district, refused to
coment on the reort that the bombs
dropped by the airmen yesterday were
'duds." In regard to the attack he
said:
II want to correct the impression
given currency by certain published
stories that the Chatham aircraft were
late in getting to the scene of the at
tack or were not otherwise promptly
on the job. Such stories I know to be
misrepresentation of the facts. They
were there and dropped two bombs,
the explosion of either one of which
might have been effective in Destroy
ing the hostile craft.
1.-THE whole occurrence from a stra-
tegic point of view impresses me as
little short of ridiculous. I gave the
German Government credit for having
more sense than to waste good am
munition on few scoWs worth
hardly more than the ammunition
that sank them, and believe the
whole performance due to desire to
impress the American public with the
nearness of the German operations
and to excite pacifists, whom they
think SO numerous in this country, to
renewed activities to end the war.
TT was more or less in the nature
of circus stunt, done also to i'm
press the German people with the
idea that the submarine warfare is
being carried to the very shores of
America and that the campaign of
frightfulness is being waged relent-
lessIy''
The shell SCARED tug Perth Amboy
was towed into Vineyard Haven for
repairs yesterday by the tug Lehigh.
Other vessels in the harbor saluted
Capt. J. II. Tapley and hf3 ship with
the prolonged blowing of whistles and
the sounding of gongs.
Little damage was done the tug be-
low the water line and her engine is in
good order. The upper structure, how
ever, was badly burned and riddIed by
shells. After preliminary repairs here
the tug will be taken to shipyard
for q thorough oVerhauling.

T.R NOT CANDIDATE
FOR WHITMAN'SPOST
Declines to Accept G. 0. P. Nomi-
nation for Governor Of N. Y.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 23.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt issued a state
ment last night in which he declared
that under no circumstances would
he accept the republican nomination
for governor of New York. He made
his announcement when he sent a
telegram to Attorney General Mer-
ton E. Lewis at Albany in reply to
a message which the attorney gem
eral sent several days ago Offering to
withdraw from the race if the Colonel
would become candidate.
In his telegram Colonel Roosevelt
did not mention any of the subjects
which were taken up by the repub-
licans at their convention last week
t1e did not refer to prohibition o."
woman suffrage. nor did he propose
candidate for governor.
The message follows:
DIR. Mr.. Lewis:
Il am very genuinely touched by
the spirit of your request, and I need
hardly say how much I appreciate
the honor you do me. But I cannot
be a candidate nor accept the NOM
ination for governor of New York.
THE position of governor in any
state, and especially In this great and
most populous state. is one of the
very highest consequence, and there
is no man in the United States who
ought not to feel honored to have the
chance Of filling it. But the duties of
the place are not only Of the highest
importance but are also very exacting
and OnerouS and demand all of any
mans time and energy, and whoever
occupies the place should devote
himself intellectually TO the work,
and, therefore, his heart and soul
and brain should be fundamentally
in the work This was true of me
twenty years ago when L became gov
ernor of New York. 1t is not and
cannot be true of me now.
For the last four years my whole
being has been absorbed in the con-
sideration of the tremendous prob
LENS. national and international, Gre
ated by the war. [ have thought of
them and dwelt on them in my mind
to the exclusion of all other subjects
7 could not turn from them with any
heart to- deal with any other subjects
even the domestic problems of this
great State, deeply though I appreci-
ate the vital Importance of these
problems.

GERMANY SOUGHT TO TURN
U. S. SECURITIES INTO CASH

Chicago, July 23.-The story of
100000 worth of American Sc
curities which the German gov
eminent sought to have turned into
money after the outbreak of war
with the United, States was told on
the witness stand yesterday by Gas
ton B. Means at the 100000 King
will contest hearing.
Means who had previously testified
that he was for many years a finan-
cial agent of the German govern
ment, said that Rudolph Otto, Ger
man agent in New York, sent the
securities to him in Chicago by
another agent, named Schwartz or
Write.
There was some question about
German interest before the United
States Attorney General, and the
matter was held in allegiance and
finally allowed to drop, he added.

BOMBS HURLED At
U-BOAT HARMLESS
Sec'y. Daniels Asks for Explana'

Washington, July 23. - Secretary
Daniels asked the commandant of the
First Naval district yesterday for a
of bombs to explode after they were
dropped by naval aviators who at
tackled a German submarine near Cape
Cod off the Massachusetts coast. The
aviators circled twice over the sub
marine when 1T was Smelling tug
and barges, but apparently none of
the bombs they let loose exloded.
