NO COAL SHORTAGE,
FUEL CHIEFS SAY
Mines Make Record Production and
More Cars Are Provided to Move
the Increased Output.

WASHINGTON, May Figures just
compiled by the United States fuel admin
istration indicate record production Of
hituminous coal for the wcel; ended April
p The total production IS estimated to
have been II .GGS, 600 net tons, an increase
of 81 per cent. over the preceding week.
The average production each working day
was 1874 900 net tons, compared with
,6S0,g0o net tons during April, 1917.
The figures are encouraging, in connec-
ton with the new plan of producing and
marketing the coal by zones. Recent fig
urcs given ont by the National Coal asso
citation indicated rapidly decreasing rate
Of production, the cause being assigned t.
a car shortage. Peel Admins, ration oil
Gals say there has been a steady improve
ment in the car supply for the last two
weeks. and if this improvement is main
tanned there will be no fuel shortage next
winter.
The United States geological survey
figures on production OF bituminous Goa
fJr the month OF April, 1918, show 46,47S,
COO net tons. or an increase Of 10 per cent
over April. 1917. Production for the fou,
months ended April, 1918, is estimated al

| than 100000 net tons over the same foul

for loans of $4,000 by that bank, of
which $4,000 was evidenced by a note
dated June q, 1913, already secured bv
mortgage, and of which $4,000 was
evidenced by q six-months note dated
Jan. 90, 1914. On May 9, 1916. it is
alleged that Mr.. Staples had recorded

ment of note for $S,400 dated Nav %,

notice to her, on or about Nav 25,
1916, the defendants Cancelled and sat

to the Peoples National bank, which
was a first lien on the Last Block Co.
property, and that since that date the
Peoples bank has had no lien on the
real estate being secured by Mrs Wood

IS alleged that while the chattel mort
cages to the Peoples bank have not
been discharged of record, they have
been discharged by some secret agree

no longer held by Mr.. Staples as trustee
for the Peoples bank, but that the prop
erty is now covered by series of chat

trustee for the Vermont National
bank alone.
On Feb. l, 1916. all the real estate
Of the Last Block Co. in Brattleboro

of $4,000 in the suit of Affra H. Ryder
against the company, and it is claimed
that the attachment became first lien

charged, which the complainant says
was well known to the defendants, but
which she did not know and had no

Another revelation that has stirred
congress and that Secretary Baker may
be called on to explain Is that guam
tity production of the heavy Browning
gun and Of heavy artillery Is very far
behind the hopes of the people that
were inspired by the promises Of the
war department. In the case of the
howitzers II would seem that valuable
time has been wasted In the effort TO
devise gun carriages of II new and dis
tinctively American model instead OF
going ahead with the models found
satisfactory by theyrltish and French.
There is also a great shortage In pis-
tolls. though General Dickson, chief of

encouraging. Mr.. Baker says an In.
quiry into the entire question OF ord
nance production Is being made by
