Total Fatalities Were Pro-

Washington, D. c., Feb. l7.--Casral-
ties in American coal mines in 1918, re-
ported to-day to Secretary Lane by the
bureau of mines, included 2,575 men
killed.
This Is the penalty paid by one peace
full industry during a year Of war" said
Secretary Lane to-day, land it empha-
sizes the hardly appreciated fact that
the worker in the mining industry, who
did his full duty during the war, braved
perils as did the soldiers at the front
and quite as willingly went to the SUI
preme sacrifice.
''The war has been won, and in its
winning there will always stand forth
the Brilliant achievement and patriotic
efforts of the American coal miners"
There was a decrease of 233 deaths
from explosions of gas and coal dust, Mr..
Lane said, and the total fatalities during
the year were proportionately less than
in previous years.

"PEN AND PAPER"
ROAD STORY GETS
A NEW CHAPTER
In Surrender of Former Judge ]. S,
Evans to Begin Jail Sentence for
Contempt of Federal
Court.

Kansas City, Nd, Feb. 1.-THE sur
render of former Judge J. s. Evans to
begin his jail sentence for contempt of
federal court has added another chapter
to the tangled history of the fight to
compel a county in the Missouri hills to
pay a bonded Indebtedness for a railroad
never constructed.
1t was in 1871 that Dallas county, with
other Missouri and Kansas communities,
saw visions Of tremendous industrial de-
Ivelopment. Strangers appeared with a
''pen and paper" railroad from st. Louis
Ito Fort Scott, Kans., and Dallas county
voted $4,000 bonds as bonus to the
promoters
The road was never built, and Dallas
county's paramount issue" was born
when the first interest payment fell due
In all political campaigns, candidates for
county judgeships have cried, I'VE will
refuse to pay the bonds" After election
successful candidates have gone to the
hills to avoid taking action.
The bonds eventually went to an east,
ern capitalist who resumed the litigation
of his predecessors to collect interest.
judgments had been entered into from
time to time in federal court, By 1911
the principal and accrued interest had
reached 81 ,203,000. payment of which
would take Is cents on every dollar of
valuation in the county, it was said.
A Judgment was obtained and the fed
eral court directed the Dallas county
clerk to call a special election to vote
bonds to pay $4,000 OF the interest.
With that action, the county clerkship
was added to the list of recluse official.
dom OF Dallas county.
Efforts to serve summons on the jur-
lists were Tedoubled Posses of deputies
from the United States marshal's office
in motor cars rolled along the trails
through hills and woods. Others, dis
guised as fishermen and hunters, trekked
through thickets and along creeks with
out success.
Federal Judge Van Valkenburgh issued
an order of contempt against the three
Dallas county judges last March, Judges
Monroe Quigley and j. f. Thomas sought
the safety of the woods. In the night,
deputies surrounded Judge Evans home
and he was brought into federal court,
where he refused to agree to a bond levy
and was sentenced To six months in jail
for contempt. The court OF appeals re-
Gently affirmed the decision and the Judge,
who had been released pending decision,
appeared to begin serving sentence,
Judge Evans, who is now out OF office
and therefore has no power to act on the
tax levy, was taken to Springfield, Mo.
Whether he must serve his sentence is
still somewhat in doubt.

AMERICAN ENGINEERS
FIRED on BY SHIPPERS
When They Travelled Over the Railroads
in Rhenish Prussia Ahead of the
ArInies-They Went Ahead to
See Ii Germans Had
Laid Mines, Etc.

With the American Army OF Occupa
ton, Feb. l6 Correspondence of the As
ISOLATED Press In it's march across
Rhensh Prussia toward the Rhine the
American army of occupation was pre-
ceded by two railroad exploration crews
OF engineers whose duty was to make
sure that the lines Of communication
were ready to operate. The engineers
Travelled in special trains,
In one instance the special train Of
Colonel Albert L. Pierce OF Eauclaire,
Wis, commanding the 37th engineers,
was fired upon by snipers in the initial
trip Of an American force over the rail
line between Trier and Bitburg on the
day. when the Americans first stepped
across the line into Rhenish Prussia.
None of the shots took effect
Company + of the 37th engineers did
the pioneering between Trier and Cob.
LEM along the Moselle valley. while Com
pany I explored the northern route, tray-
cling by way of Bitburg
Reports had been received that the
tracks had been mined at various places
and owing to this fact the trains pro-
ceeded rather slowly and travelled only
by daylight. Each train had two loco
motives and about 20 cars. Lookouts
were posted upon the pilot of the lead"
locomotive and stops were made at each
bridge and culvert to ascertain whether
any of them had been tempered with by
the withdrawing German soldiers
Deserted roundhouses were encountered
in several towns, and even in this part
of Germany untouched by actual war
there was a suggestion along the railroad
lines that all of the railroad employees
had joined the army in its withdrawal
across the Rhine.
All along the lines the engineers found
the switch towers deserted and, in the
trip from Trier to Coblenz, at no point
did any German officials make any at
tempt to stop them or even inquire into
their mission The Germans had left no
records, so far as the Americans knew,
of their complicated interloclSing system
Of tracks and at various points il was
necessary to try many combinations to
switch a train from one track to another
The engineers encountered no obstacles
anywhere
The 37th engineers, composed of 1000
men, was organized at Fort Myer. The
regiment is composed OF picked men from
80 army camps and the personnel repre-
sents every state in the union. The 37th
left Coblenz for home Jan. IL, being the
first regiment of the army of occupation
to leave the Rhine for Tie States.

giene, urged that physical examinations
of miners he conducted by state author
tiles He declared that the first step in
the prevention Of illness is to obtain en-
ployes who are in sound health and free
from organic disease. The number OF
men working underground in mines in
this country whose physical condition to.
tally units them for such work presents
situation which, ] believe. is not
equalied in any other industry in the
country. continued Dr. LAMA. Miners
applying for work. he said, should be
required to show a certificate from state
authorities attesting that they are free
from organic or other defects which
should bar them from underground work
Such a system would require reciprocity
among the mining states and basic
standard Of physical fitness.
DR. LAMA declared that as long as dry
drilling is permitted in hard-roek mines
there would be an inordinate amount Of
pulmonary disease among miners, that
dry drilling apparatus might be as dead
~ as a machine gun though somewhat
slower and that its continued use in the
mining industry is a matter OF reproach.
American ingenuity, he declared, should
be able to produce a water drill that
would make nearly impossible miners
consumption.
"If we are to have healthy miners" he
continued, I'VE must so arrange it that
they can work in places properly ven
tilated and not exclusively hot. The use
of small fans with canvas tubing seems
to offer a satisfactory and economical
means of improving ventilation He
urged the provision of adequate sanitary
facilities underground and medical and
surgical service so that minor illnesses
and injuries might be promptly treated
and not become of major importance.
Prevention of sickness among miners. he
said, has not kept pace with the proven
ton of injury. Employers, he said, must
provide for the health of miners during
their working hours and often in their
homes if they expect to keep them on the
lob.

BIGGEST CROP YEAR
COUNTRY EYER SAW
Is the Plan Of the National War Garden
Commission-Home Gardeners to
Be ,SPurred to Renewed
Efforts.

Washington, D. G., Feb. 1.-THE ma
tional war garden commission is prepar-
ing to launch this spring a campaign for
the biggest producing year the country
ever saw To spur the home gardener
to renewed efforts the commission re-
minds them that the clocks Of the ma
tiop will be set one hour ahead on the
last Saturday night in March, in compli,
ance with the daylight saving law in ef-
feet for the duration Of the war
we must help feed the people of Eu,
rope declared Charles Lathrop Pack,
president of the national war garden
commission, in an appeal to the home
gardeners for large results win you
have a part in this great work at hand g?
Next to the sun the extra hour of dav.
light is the best value the victory gar.
dener has. Will you meet the sun half
way? viii you be up to take advantage
Of the health-giying garden work in the
cool of the morn? Have the spade and
the hoe handy and turn the clock ahead
one hour on the last Saturday night in
March and be ready for the biggest home
food producing year. the country ever
saw?
According to the estimates by the
commission, the war garden crop Of 1918
was worth $j25,O00. This was an in
crease of 81 per cent over that of 1917.
Figures show that 52S5,0O0 home
food producing plots were planted
says the commission, with 20 working
days in each Of the seven months there
are 1872 extra hours of time. If only
one gardener worked this extra hour Of
time in each plot it will be seen that 0Gl.-
$4,000 of extra time would be added to
the cOuntry's wealth Since there are
$500 hours in a year there is a stag
gering total of l00,S03 years of 24.hours
days. In an eight-hour working day the
real advantage is found by multiplying
l00sO3 by three, giving 800, 400 working
or eight-hour-day years,
