No Decision on
 Financial Parts
 of Railway Laws

Washington, Dec. 31.-No decis- ion of the financial provisions of the Cummins and Esch railroad bills was reached by the senate and house conferees today before adjourning until Friday. Although the conferees discussed a provis. ion for fixing of minimum rail and water rates by the interstate com merce commission, the question was left open. The house bill would give the commission author ity to fix minimum as we'll as maximum rates for haul partly by water while the senate bill gives the commission no minimum rate fixing authority.
 The conferees accepted the sen- ate provision giving authority to require railroads to make physical connections at docks or wharves of water carriers if conducting to the public interest.

Brewer May Enter Race for Senator
 From Mississippi

Vicksburg, Miss, Dec. 31- Former Governor Earl Brewer was here yesterday conferring with friends relative to his plan to be- come a candidate for the United States senate to succeed Senatoc' John Sharp Williams, who will not seek reelection. Former Senator Vardaman- is also to be a candi- date. It was stated that the for mer governor had last week dis posed of his interests in three large plantations in order to en- able him to devote his entire time to the campaign.
 If 1 do enter the race," Mr. Brewer said when interroogated. "1 will not accept a dollar contri- button from any one, and will fn- ance my own campaign"
 Former Governor Brewer of Mississippi, with his brother and Frank McNally, formerly of Pine Bluff, recently purchased the hold ings in Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana of the Richardson and May Planting company, including three plantations in Jefferson county. It is considered here that the reference to Governor Brew CTS transfer of his interests has relation to the formation of the Brewer, McNally and Brewer, com- pany to own and operate the plan tations, and does not mean that Mir. Brewer has sold out.

loneliest Woman In the World.

The loneliest woman in the world has just passed away in Butte, Scotland, at the age of seventy-six years. Thir- ty years ago she travelled far into the interior of Africa and by her practical service to a. tribe of natives led them skillfully to open school for the edu- cation of their children. For a great CT part of the thirty years she was the only European woman in the ter ritory and she acknowledges that in adapting herself to the food, customs and climate she almost unconsciOusly de-Europeanized her outlook. She only saw the world within her narrow and weird sphere. In the rainy days she grew very wearied. The native friends who gathered round her would divine her loneliness and in many ways they tried to break the monotony, all of which endeared her black people to herself. Once, she determined to take a trip to Europe and made prepara- tions accordingly, only to find that if she carried out her intention the tribe would lapse back to its fetishes. She determined to remain till she felt as- sured that they could be trusted to carry on their education without her aid. She finished her work, and there will be a long period of mourning for the "White Face with Heart like the Sun."

Poland's immense Coal Beds.

Figures recently compiled regarding the coal resources of Poland indicate that the Silesian-Polish coal beds con- tain approximately OO,0OO,0OOOOO tons of coal, sufficient to last for 1,5O0 years at the rate of production which ob- tained before the war.
 The favorable geological formation of the beds and the wealth of their ex- ploitable seams make Poland logical source of supply for the balance of Europe. With proper equipment, such as that which has brought American production to such enviable figures, :, Poland would be able to do much to relieve the fuel and power shortage which is hampering the reconstruction of Europe's industrial life. An added factor which makes POlands wealth of coal of increasing importance Is the plenitude of labor which is available at costs which are relatively one-fifth that of similar labor in the United States.
