the Internal Revenue Bureau, at
whose instigatlon the funds were
taken, are not yet ready to dis
cuss the episode for publication.
1t is learned that emissaries Of
the Kerr-Clegg combination have
been making frantic efforts in
Washington to secure release of the
millions. They sent a lawyer to the
capital from New York for that
special purpose. He Iavished his
most persuasive arguments upon
the Department of Justice official
who had assisted in running down
;he case for the Treasury Depart
ment, but the lawyers pleas and re-
monstrances were unavailing. The
seized money is still in the vaults

about 46 per cent Of the total coke
made in the United States was pro-
duced in by-product ovens and 81 per
cent in beehive ovens. In 1919 the
proportions were reversed, Sc per cent
coming from by-product ovens and
only Al per cent from beehive ovens.
The year, 1919 thus marked turning
point in the history of coke manufac-
ture in the United States.
These figures are preliminary only
and will be revised when the annual
statistical canvass is completed.
The iron furnaces are the great GUS
toners of the coke industry. In 1918
they consumed 45,704,OO0 net tons of
coke or 81 per cent of the total output

pig iron fell off % per cent and the
demand for coke declined in proper

The outstanding features. of the
coke industry in 1919 were the great
slump in demand that followed the

in the proportion of by-product coke
as compared with beehive coke. ac-
cording to preliminary estimates made
by F. G. Tryon, of the Department
of the Interior, the total production
of coke in 1919, including beehive
