MATAMORES, Mex, Aug. II
"For Sale-1,100 Mexican farms full

Mike Doyle, saloonman here, is Sc
rlously considering running ads ike
that in American papers.
Not that Mike has the 1.1OO
ranches, but that he believes he will
have them soon.
Doyle is forming a syndicate here
to buy up the farms given Panch
Villas soldiers in Coahuila.
Under the unconditional sur
render" terms made by Villa to Pres
ident Adolfo De la Huerta, each of
his men receives a farm, fully
equipped, together with a years pay
in advance. Villa himself, in addi-
tion to his farm, gets $2,O0O,O00 in
gold for his surrender.
"Show me Mexican with a years
pay in his pocket, and a farm, who
will be contented to stay on that
farm and I'll show you a miracle"
says Doyle.
"Why, a man with $50, a Stetson
hat and pair of duck pants can
take over the best piece of land in
the state of Coahuila," he says. eur

who's going to do it."
Doyle has already received prom

Million Day Lost At One u. S.
Port and Ships Wait For Coal

and crews swearing in strange ton
CUES at the obstacles that prevent
them putting to sea.
Some Say $1,50O,OO0
With actual expenses still running
at wartime levels. and with lost
profits and interest charges mount
ing with every hour in port, shipping
men here estimate the loss to shin
ping tied up at well above 81 600, 900
daily-some place it as high as ST.
100000.
On the C. & 0. piers at Newport
News alone boats aggregating more
than 100000 tons cargo capacity
are lying awaiting coal The Norfolk
& Western and Virginian Railways
terminals are similarly surrounded
by boats waiting, with more or less
patience, for the delivery of cargoes
long assigned.
Coal, coal, coal--that is the de
mand of every skipper in port If
he isn't waiting for cargo of coal
he's waiting for coal with which to
fire his boilers.
In July alone 2,127,747 tons of
coal were dumped over Hampton
Roads piers, but the number of yes
sells held in harbor because of coal
shortage steadily increased.
The number lying in the Roads
Aug. 1 waiting either cargoes or
bunkers or both was 334, with a
cargo capacity of close to 100000
tons.
AS the number cleared during the
month was only 444 it is apparent
that some of the vessels now here will
not get away till well toward Septem-
Der.
And somewhere along the way all
the expense of this delay and lost
motion is going to be unloaded on the
ultimate consumer.

BY HARRY B. HUNT

NORFOLK, Va. Aug. 17-Lack of
balance between railroad and ocean
shipping, between manufacturing ca
pacity and American transportation
facilities, is resulting in the loss of
more than $1,000,000 each day at this
one port.
The total of losses due to this un-
balanced condition in the country as
a whole amounts to a staggering sum.
Here at Norfolk it is possible to size
up the local losss and thus to sense
a glimmering of what the national
loss is.
The situation here at Norfolk and
at Newport News, just across the
James River, their waters forming
practically a common port for the
whole Hampton Roads district, en-
phasizes the extent to which the rail
road and coaI-producing factors in
our commerce have failed to keep
pace with out industrial production
and the development of our export
shipping.
More than 300 vessels lie idle at
anchor at Hampton. Roads today be-
cause the coal and rail facilities are
not equal to the industrial and ex-
port shipping demand.
Lack of coal is nOminally respon-
sible, but lack of transportation is
back even of the lack of coal.
Inland industrial centers, needing
coal to keep their factories going,
protest every diversion of coal to
tidewater, whether for export or bun
ker purposes. But if in supplying full
coal requirements to manufacturing
establishments coal is withdrawn
from vessels which carry the products
of those factories to the markets of
the world, the situation has not been
helped. 1t is useless to work factories
full speed if the products of the fac
tories cannot be transported after
they are made.
"Orders" Cure Fails
At present the Interstate Com
merce Commission is the sole body
with authority to regulate this bal
ance. But despite priority orders,
embargoes, and other measures, ex
port terminals are clogged with mer
chandise while boats wait for days
and weeks for cargoes or fuel which
will enable them to transport these
shipments to their destination.
OF the 300 odd vessels now idle in
Hampton Roads, approximately one
in four is loaded, awaiting simply
bunker coal before putting to sea.
The other three-fourths are light,
awaiting cargoes that the railroads
have not been able to place on the
piers.
There are all sorts, although prob
ably nine out of 10 are steel steam
ers of 5000 tons or upward. All the
flags of the seven seas are displayed,
the Stars and Stripes leading, al
though by a small margin, followed
by the British, French, Dutch, Danish
and Swedish flags.
Picturesque among the modern
steam vessels is a sprinkling of sail
ing vessels, schooners, barkentines
and few big full riggers, masters

Gus Endorsement

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 17.-More or

cure a uniformly efficient bench"
The report also emphasizes the
need for thorough cooperation OF
members of the judiciary and the bar
for the purpose of maintaining hlgh
professional standards in legal prac-
tice.
Ouestionnaires seeking suggestions
as to how this cooperation might be
accomplished best have been sent out
to approximately 1900 members OF

pIan is carried out, the recommenda-
tion is made that the corporations be
entrusted with complete supervision
of the activities of all practicing at

HOKE Smith CLUB
in SUMTER TO BE-
FORMED TONIGHT
Friends of Senator to
Meet at Court House
at 8 O'Clock

Announcement was made last
night by local supporters of Sena-
tor Hoke Smith in his present race
for reelection in the coming Georgia
primary, that meeting of Smith ad-
vocates would be held at o'clock
tonight at the court house for the
purpose of forming a Hoke Smith
club, the purpose of which shall be to
promote the interests of the senator
in Sumter county in the primary on
September 8.
The announcement was made
colsely upon the published call for a
meeting of the friends of Governor
Dorsey, to be held at the same place
Thursday evening of this week. 1t
was stated specifically, however, that
this announcement had nothing what
ever to do with the fixing of the date
for the Hoke Smith meeting, and that
there was no attempt by the Smith
followers to "get ahead" of the Dor
sey men by setting the date of their
meeting in advance of the Dorsey
gathering.
"Some of the men who are sup
porting Senator Smith discussed the
matter of organization in Sumter
county last week." said Mayor J. E.
Sheppard today, "and decided to call
the meeting for Monday or Tuesday
night, the selection of one of these
being the only matter to be settled.
Tuesday has been chosen. This would
have been announced yesterday, but
each one Of two men who were ex-
pected to make the announcement in
the press thought the other was going
to do it, and as a result nobody did
it,"
Mayor Sheppard recently publicly
declared himself for Hoke Smith for
reelection, although he had opposed
him in the presidential primary and
supported Palmer. At that time, how
ever, he stated he would be for the
senator for reelection to that office.

escorted by couple of detectives

theft of $4,000 worth of Liberty
bonds from the Harris Trust and
Savings bank.
Strange Tale of Spending.
In his cell Kellner recited a
strange tale of artistic spending. He
had originally planned trip to the
Arctic country and bought a $500
fur coat for that purpose. Here is
what happened to the rest of the
funds:
Three diamond rings, 5000; stick
pin, SIS; shirt studs, $3.50; watch
chain. $l10; small automobile, $825;
big automobile, 81 900; four suits of
clothing, $500; trunk, $35; suitcase,

robe, $50; three neckties, $2l; silk
shirts. $240; four pairs of hose, $42;
cigaret case, So; belt, $3.50.
Fur Coat Caused Ruin. Z
He admits the, fur coat was the
cause of his downfall. He wanted
one with brass-buckled belt and a
high collar, and his income as a
bank messenger was not sufficient to
satisfy this whim, SO when he was
sent to another bank to deliver the
$4,000 Liberty bonds he sold them
to 4 pair of dealers, whose Hames he
did not obtain, for $4,000 cash and
started south. He was married
month before this escapade, but de-
serted his wife when he fed.
