Move to Quasll
When District Attorney Stroup
announced that he had no other wit
nesses to call. Mr.. Geyer, one OF
Mauk's attorneys, made a motion to
have the jury instructed to return
verdict of not guilty. He cited
Supreme Court decision in civil
case. in which 1t was ruled that u
false pretense must be made about
a present or past existing fact. In
this case, he argued, the evidence
showed that Mauk contracted to do
something in the future which it
was found had not been done. and
which at any time he was willing to
do. Mr.. Geyer said that 1t was
nothing more than a civil action and
that Mauk was ready and willing
at any time to reimburse Mr.. Nc
Cracken or carry out the provisions
of the contract made on May so.
District Attorney Stroup objected
and pointed to the sale of the
shroud for which Mauk charged SIS.
He said that in offering it for sale
and accepting the money for it.
while it had not been used, consti-
tuted false pretense. Mr.. Geyer in
reply to this statement. said that
such an offense would be "construc-
tive larceny" which was not
charged in the bill of indictment.

At this point an attempt was
made to introduce an alleged con-

ruled out the confession and Mr..

Shortly after court adjourned for

Only 81 'ght Increase
in Production Of
Soft Coal Expected

Chicago. Nov. IA. Only slight
increase in the amount of bituminous
coal produced throughout the coun-
try was in prospect to-day. The
miners generally showed a DISPOSE
tion to await developments of the
meeting to-day at Washington of
miners and operators called by Sec
retary of Labor Wilson to negotiate
a new wage scale.
In some States, notably Illinois and
West Virginia, it was said that
threatened trouble by radicals or
insurgents" among the miners had
complicated the situation brought
about to-day, by the unwillingness
of the workers to resume production
in response to the strike recall mes
sage sent out by John l.. Lewis. act
ing president of the United Mine
Workers of America, under direc-
ton of u Federal court mandate.
Miners in the Springfield Illinois,
subdistrict, speaking what they said
was the position of the entire Illi-
nois mem bership, said no coal would
be mined until after the miners
operators conference reached an
agreement.
In West Virginia reluctance of the
miners to return to work, especially
in the northern districts, was at
tributed largely to Vaccinations of
l. w. w. and other radical agitators.
In the general summary of the
situation, optimistic statements re-
garding resumption of fuel produc-
ton were received over night only
from Colorado. A number of indie
pendent mines there were reported
to have started operations yesterday
fN.s Il. q L.. N...I
was called two weeks ago
Here and there operators were
hopeful that some of the approx
mately 425,000 men who walked out
would return to work pending settle
ment of the misunderstanding, but
the majority of operators apparently
viewed the outlook with pessimism.

ing his parents where he was.
Wild stories of the matter were
quickly spread and searching part

the neighborhood during n great
part of the night, the parties were
unable to find the missing youth.
The following morning he was found
in the cornfield of a noighbor, busily
husking corn. He had preferred
this to going to school, he is said
to have told when found.
He had spent the night at the
home of the neighbor, where he had
received both supper and breakfast.
Says Facts Distorted
To-day stories were in circulation
to the effect that a special meeting
of the board had been called for
next Wednesday evening at which
time consideration was to be given
to the actions of the teacher. This
was to-day cited by Professor Smith
as sample of the exaggerated tales
that have been circulated.
Next Wednesdays meeting will be
the monthly meeting of the board.
1t is a regular and not a special
meeting and the present case has
had nothing to do with it being call
ed. 1t is not expected that much
consideration will be given to the
present situation.
The teacher about whom the stor-
les have been woven was in the
Pleasant View school to-day. While
not in her room at the opening of
school this morning, she took up
her duties shortly after the opening
of the session. Professor Smith had
charge of the school at it's opening
and succeeded in allaying a large

parently has existed, has quieted
down the pupils considerably and is
confident that the school will be
henceforth conducted in an entire

NAVY RE-ENLISTED
MEN HOLD COMMISSIONS

A recent study of the Navy roster
of officers of the United States Navy
shows that out of 5.697 officers on
the active list of the regular Navy
holding permanent or temporary po-
sitions. There are LIS who served
in the Navy as enlisted men. This
number includes only those who
took examinations from the ranks
for commission, and does not take
in n great number of Annapolis
graduates who entered the Navy
Academy by obtaining one of the
one hundred appointments to the
institution offered yearly TO enlisted
men.
The facts show that the Navy is
not at all the CLOSED Corporation"
that many believe it to be, but that
it is service which holds forth
opportunity as an incentive to the
efforts of its members.
The requirem for a commits
sion are necessarily high. but not
so high as to exclude the LIS
officers who have come up from the
ranks.
The list of ex-enlisted men in the
various grades is as follows:
captains ''''.'..... ........... |
Commanders .:.......... IL
Lieutenant commanders ......
Lieutenahts .'...... elU
Lieutenants Gg) .....,....... 479
EnslgnS ............... 349
The reason for the small numbers
in the higher grades is as follows:
The privilege of obtaining a COM
mission was opened to enlisted men
in 1899, and it takes about twenty
years for a man to work up from
ensign to captain.
Approximately 46 per cent. of
these officers arrived via seaman
branch, having as Boatswains mate,
Quartermasters etc, "a per cent. at
one time were enlisted as engineers
or electricians and 20 per cent. were
gunners mates. ... ..
In addition to the above there are
at present in the Navy 204S war
rant officers, the rank Just below
the commissioned officers, every one
of these 204S officers is an ex-en-
listed man.
