WILL INVESTIGATE IGNITE NOW
Congress Appropriates 100000 to Ex-
pertinent With New Fuel.

Washington, May 27.-Lignite, or
brown coal of Texas, North Dakota
and other western states, probably will
be used extensively as fuel if expert
ments soon to be made by the bureau
of mines IN an effort to drive off the
moisture which makes it unserviceable,
prove successful.
Initial experiments will be conducted
at New Salem. n. D., and will begin at
once. Congress has appropriated
100000 for the work. Lignites con-
stitute one-third of the fuel resources
of the United States but have been
little used because of the great amount
of moisture in them. their tendency to
disintegrate when dry and their LA
bility to spontaneous combustion.
States with Ignite deposits have
been getting their coal from middle
west states, necessitating an average
freight haul of one thousand miles.
Reduction of Ignite to a serviceable
fuel would end such lengthy coal ship
ments. Bureau of mines experts be
lieve it not only to be possible to car
bonize the Ignite into a superior
brand of fuel, but think 1t possible to
make valuable by-products, such as

that That the navy departments wit

Niblack and Captain Pratt. These
witnesses, he said, almost unanimous

faulty organization of the navy de-
