COAL WILL STILL BE
 USED BY MANY SHIPS
(Annericanl


 The Japanese vessels which at pres ent are carrying the greater part of the Pacific trade are very largely oil burners. The coming of the oil steam CT of course is causing great changes in the importance of the coaling ports. Petroleum has a wider distribution than coal. Its control is not confined to two or three nations.
 In the western Pacific supplies of oil are forthcoming from Sumatra, Bor- neo, Java, India, Japan and China, and on the estern side from Mexico, Peru and Canada. It is easier to transport to tanking stations, and goes further. bulk for bulk, than most coal. Owing to ease of slowing and economy of us- ing, vessel can take on fuel for much longer distances if burning oil than in the case of coal. The introduction cf the oil steamer has been important all over the world but nowhere to the eX- tent that it is now in use in the Pa cific.
 As to whether the coaling station as an important element in shipping is destined to disappear before the ad- vance of the oil burning steamer, the general opinion is that it will not. The oil supplies of the world are limited oil storage requires especially adapted tanking facilities, and oil can be trans ported only in special vessels. Coal car be dumped anywhere in the open air by any vessel, and is ready for imme- | diate use for years afterward. Al though many vessels will go over tC the use of oil, there will still be plenty 1 left to patronize the coaling stations.

CONCERT BY MRS. LANE
 AT WOMAN'S CLUB |S RARE MUSICAL TREAT

The concert given at the Woman Club last night by Mrs. Franklin D. Lane under the auspices of Trinity Pro Cathedral shall forever go cown in the annals of Phoenix as one of the rares; and most artistic of musical treats. Mrs. Lane, always so willing to aid . with her beautiful voice for the cause of charity. drew large and represer- tative audience to hear her admirably selected program. What beauty anG grace can do for singer was done for Mrs. Lane before she uttered a note and when to this was added her exquis- ite natural voice, it was not difficult to understand the love and esteem which Phoenix holds for this great artist, its | favorite singer.
 Each number was rendered. in flu.
 ished style, portraying excellent tech l nical skill, clear diction and wonderful | breath control.
 Her opening number the 'Ballatella | Aria from Pagliacci, was a musical delight to her audience. The group of | French songs by de Bussy, Bizet and
 Lalo were rendered with poetic and ec-
 static charm. Much sweetness and
 beautiful phrasing marked the rendi-
 tion of Gounod's Message d'Amour'' l from Mireille. With remarkable bril- 1 lance the coloratura passages were [ executed
 | Her singing of the English songs was full of warmth and deep feeling. The
 climax of the program was reached
 when the artist sang the great aria
 An. Fors c Liu' from Traviata. It
 seemed the acme of perfection and
 ended. as it were, in a blaze of glory II The marvelously resonant bell-like 1 quality of the high l. flat and the wos derful power Of almost unlimited breath control all but electrified tho audience
 Mrs. Lane responded most graciously
 to the spontaneous applause of her ap- preciative audience with a number of charming encores.
 The prima- donna was q vision or | loVeliness az she received the wealth of beautiful flowers showered upon her by
 her admiring friends.
 | Miss Merta Work in accompanying
 Mrs. Lane exemplified in unmistakable terms her technical mastery and fine
 interpretative feeling. we'll deserving
 the praise bestowed upon her. II For those to whom the beautiful and
 artistic in music appeals the program
 was all too short From beginning 70
 end the evening was one perfect sym
 phony.
