|TALY'S FUEL PROBLEM
TACKLED BY AMERICANS

VERONA, Italy, July 6.-That Amer
ica's economic help to Europe is begin
ming to count. is shown by the fact
that coal has become comparatively
less scarce again after a long period
Of stringency and railway trains are
again able to run sharply on time
on the trunk line across northern
Italy. This is a most favorable turn
OF the scales on a product vital to
Italian transportation and industry.
Producing no coal at home. Italy's
stock in the past has been drawn
from England and France, but with
the French and Belgian coal fields
invaded by the enemy. and the diff
culties of transportation, coal has
been soaring steadily until it ives prac-
tically out of use for domestic pur-
poses, and all the wheels Of industry
and transportation were slackened
Railways have felt the stringency
severely. with trains delayed from the
lack of fuel All this has been mater
tally improved of late. British and
French coal has been the main source
OF relief. under the general plan OF
mutual distribution between the al
lies, but the large contribution OF
American coal to the general stock
in Europe has materially helped to
solve the coal problem on this side
and start the wheels going regularly
again

Big Plans Being Made For Week
Of April Bird, Which Will BE
Designated Conference Week

For the first time in its history. the
entertainment Of the Maryland Annual
Conference Of the Methodist Protestant
Church. which meets in the Broadway
Church. Baltimore, on April 3, will be
on the paid basis In all the years Of
its history the conference entertainment
has always been on the free basis, but
at the last session it was thought that
on account Of the numerical size Of the
body. it was asking most too much Of
any Of the churches to entertain the
upward OF 200 ministers and lay dele
gates free
It is believed that many of the minis
tiers will stop al hotels and boarding
houses. and being located far from the
conference church. will not take the
same interest in the sessions that they
have been accustomed to taking under
the old plan

TWO new INDUSTRIES
AT STURGEON SWAMP.

The Sturgeon swamp, near Arnheim
which has. been an, unproductive part
of the district until recent years, may
be the locale Of two great industries
before many more years pass. c. #.
Hancock, Of Chassell, superintendent
of the Arnheim Stave Mill and the
Fertile Chemical company, of Mullen,
has great hopes for the future of both
companies.
The Arnheim Stave Mill, which is in
Baraga county, was started q couple of
years ago as a nail keg stave factory
and it did large business for two sea-
sons or 80. Then Mr.. Hancock decided
the nail keg trade was too restricted
and turned the mill into barrel stave
mill, for the manufacture of slaves
suitable for lime and apple barrels
particularly. The mill was shut down
for three months, and re-opened two
weeks ago.
During the shut down the machinery
for making large slaves was installed
and the factory was enlarged consider
ably.
The mill now employees sixty-five
men and is turning out fifty cords OF
stave bolts daily, insuring an output OF
6, O00, 600 slaves annually. 1t will be
run the year around.
The Fertile Chemical company. which
is to utilize the Sturgeon swamp pea,
for the manufacture Of fertilizer, is
working on its plant. 1t has force OF
80 men employed on concrete founda.
tions for the mill and in the erection OF
hotel and dwelling houses for the
employees.
The hotel will accommodate eighty
men and will be the largest establish
ment of the kind south Of Houghton,
in the copper country.
The company has brought an exca.
vator to the ground and it already il
digging peat. The mill will be ready
to start grinding in the spring.
While the stave mill and the fertiliz'
er factory are not connected in any
way, excepting that Mr.. Hancock has
charge of both plants, it may be thai
during the next year small railroad
will be built connecting them. The
stave mill is in Baraga county and the
fertilizer factory in Chassell township
of Houghton county, but they are only
four miles apart and both are in the
Sturgeon swamp.
Mr.. Hancock believes it will be al
economical arrangement for the fertil
izer factory to burn the waste from the
stave mill and the railroad is projected
for the purpose of delivering this fuel
The companies are paying premium
on labor in order to get their plant
running at the high point Of efficiency
Common laborers are getting So I
day and men better skilled are getting

the brush" The foreman later went
back to the scene Of the crime and
found the stick in the brush, - Jack
10 had told him. The evidence showed
that day or SO before the murder
Of Liberty. Jsckzo remarked that he
woulds get Liberty, that further, on
December 2Srd. Liberty and Jackzo
had an alteration Of some sort in the
camp, and the men were parted by the
cook and Matthews. The evening Of
same day the men again had words in
the mems camp. The morning Of De-
cember oath Jackzo said to Peter
Dinger, in the presence of others. as
he pointed to a shovel, 'Say, ! slept
with that in my bunk last night; if
that - came near me I'd
fix him."
It was shown that Jackzo knew
what he was doing when he murdered
Liberty, even though he had been
drinking, snd it was claimed that his
story Of an Indian appearing on the
scene was purely fictitious, rs no other
tracks were found except those leading
to the camp.
