COLLISION WIT H
PIG MAY Be FATAL
TO AUTO TOURIST
c. H. Hunter, Aged 68, and
Wife, Aged 70, Seri-
ousIy Hurt When
Car Hits Porker.

The perversity Of a hog in do
ing the unexpected caused an ac-
cident yesterday that may result
in the death of c. II. Hunter, 68
years old, and his wife. who are
here on an automobile tour from
their home at Hyatt Corners, Seneca
county, New York.
Driving a high-powered seven
passenger car, accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Hunter and 3-year--
old daughter, Hunter encountered
the pig in the road near Dumfries,
eight miles southeast of Council
Bluffs. The animal ran across the
road toward hole in the fence
and Mr.. Hunter did not check the
speed of the car. At critical mo.
ment the pig turned back and raj,
across the road squarely in front
of the car.
The collision sent the car into
the ditch overturned. Hunter was
thrown through the Windshield. The
splintered glass badly lacerated his
face and neck, gouging out one eye
and nicking the big veins on the
neck. Mrs. Frank Hunter and the
child escaped with slight injuries,
but Mrs. c. H. Hunter, who is
20 years old, sustained internal in-
Juries of severe nature.
The son, who was following close
behind the Hunter car, took Mr..
and Mrs. Hunter in his car and
drove to Omaha and placed them
in hospital. Mr.. Hunter was unt
conscious and apparently had al
most bled to death when the hos
pital was reached 80 minutes after
the accident. The surgeons gave
little hope OF the recovery of the
aged man.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter were visit
ng their son, Frank, Mills county
farmer, and the party were enroute
@ Omaha on a shopping tour. Mr
Hunter is widely known in New
York and is one of the board Of di-
'ectors and a heavy stockholder in
he Lackawanna railroad.

nished by experts of the internal
revenue bureau.
Goal operators generally in the
United States in the years 1914 and
1915 lost money when normal de-
pletion and depreciation are taken
into consideration" the statement
sad. what is meant by this is
that proper item in fixing costs is
depreciation of plant and depletion
of the cost or value of the coal in
the ground.
an the latter part of 1916 all coal
companies in the United States, save
those in the extreme west, began
money, with the result that
the operations for the year 1916 gen.
orally show a profit of from 10 to IS
per cent on capital invested.
"In 1917 all bituminous coal mines
east of the Mississippi river made
what might be termed fabulous
profits, the general average being
from 100 to $50 per cent invested
capital, the range being from IS to
300 per cent.
"In 1918 conditions were not so
good in the Appalachian and central
competitive districts. profits gen.
orally being reduced Is to 80 per
cent less than for the preceding year,
the range being from IS to 800 per
cent on invested capital. In the
west conditions in 1918 were better
than in 1917, the profits in the Rocky
districts ranging as high
as 400 per cent on invested capital.
Unofficial figures for 1919. incom.
plete, of course, indicate that profits

Friends of Irish Freedom to reply to Sir
Edward Carson's hands Off ulti-
matum.
while the gallant Sir Edward Car
son was attempting to stir up religious
strife in Belfast yesterday, his cohorts
in New York were making desperate
effort along the same line," he said,
"and while Carson contcnted himself
with ordering the future policy Of
America, the New York element de-
nounced American citizens for daring to
assist nation in its desperate struggle
for liberty.
"Sir Edward Carson forgets that
America won the war and has therefore
right to dictate terms of peace. he
forgets, too, that when we entered the
war, which was won by the strength,
vigor and courage of America. we did
so on grounds which pledge us to bring
to the oppressed peoples OF the earth
the right of self determination.
"When the President of the United
States laid down his celebrated fourteen
points he made no condition or quail
fication as to the peoples to whom the
right of self determination was to be
applied and the great mass OF the
people of America believed that it
was to apply to those nations which
yroaned under the tyranny of England
as we'll as to those which suffered under
the tyranny of the central powers.
