 The Indians refused to be posted, but spent their time in foraging the neighbor- hood for provisions, on the strength of the plea that they were going to fight When the British found the south shore imparticable they returned to the north shore and formed in line of battle, ad- vancing boldly in the direction of Appiing's ambush, until within 10 rods of the con- cealed riienen. when q full voliey was poured into the faces of the British. every shot apparently taking effect

 By the time more American troops ar- rived the battle was over. Of the Amer ican force but one Indian was killed and one rifieman wounded.

AIR MAIL SERVICE.

Much stress has been laid upon the speeding up of the delivery of mail by the postmaster general through the es- tablishment of the air service but from what Chairman Madden of the appropri- ations sub committee told the house of representatives huge stim is being used for the carrying of mail in such a man. neT while the delivery is as a matter of fact slower, and 1t has been demon- strated that it was less safe
 Inasmteh jas the airplane is faster than train it has been imagined that much time was saved by the sending of mail through the air but there are de- lays connected with such service which makes ii slower than the railroads. The Introduction of the air mail carriers can therefore hardly be endorsed either on the ground of efficiency or economy, and It certainly doesn't warrant the loss of life and property that has accompanied if to say nothing of the loss sustained on the mail matter being transported.
 When letters can be transported bv nain and be delivered 24 hours earlier than when they are carried by airplane It is certainly better business policy to pay seven cents a ton for the quicker delivery than it is to pay $5 a ton for tie other, while there appears to be much greater assurance that mail will reach it's destination by rail than there Is by air.
 It is impossible to disregard the fact titat the air mail service has been in- toduced in all probability more for the purpose of developing the airplane than because of what can be accompanied by this means of transportation. The most office department would therefore ap- pear to be engaged in experimentation Hork that is somewhat costly and en- Ployng funds for the giving of service which not only fails to equal that which was being provided but falls far behind. The revelations made concerning the ef- Forts so far put forward in establishing ar service as the competitor of the rail service do not indicate that the time has come for making the change or making very large appropriations for that pur- rose.

THE FUEL INDUSTRY.

IL IS requiring some time for the con- sresslonal committee to get at the bot tom of the coal situation and the prof reering but it appears to be making progress and from revelations which were made this week good reasons would ap- pear 10 De established for sending such facts as have been obtained to the de- partment of justice and advocating leg islation which will deal with just such conditions with view to regulations.
 After having 1t brought out that one company received profit, over and above cost of six dollars a ton on coal sold to the government there certainly was good ground for Senator Kenyon telling the head of the national coal as- sociation that 'If these prices are to ro on you'll be met with the question of government regulation just as the rail- roads are"
 There should be a careful running down of all the cases where such unwar- ranted profits were asked whether tha government was involved or not. If if was possible to make such a profit off Of the government it does not mean that the same thing could have been done with others in view of what was nut over the shipping board and other gov eminent agencies. But that doesn't jus fly the practice whether the government proved to be easy or whether the p,rbltc was forced to pay what was demanded 'r go without When the government is souged 1t is the public that settles the v and from repeated testimony which

 Regulation of the coal business is not a new proposition. The need of getting a square deal for the public from that di- reetion has long been advocated. It is preferable that the relief to which the people are entitled should come by other means than regulation. Government ownership of the mines is not desirable put if the coal operators are not willing to clean house they should realize that regulation stares them in the face.

CLERKS DESIRE ADDITIONAL
MOTOR LICENSES FEES

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 25.-S. H
Lewis. County Clerk of Fayette
County. filed suit in Franklin Cir.
cult Court this afternoon against
the State Tax Commission, claiming
the right to retain per cent of all
motor license fees in addition to the
80 cents allowed County Clerks for
issuing motor licenses.
The motor vehicle license law
provides for the 30-cent fee for the
Clerks, and Mr.. Lewis claims that,
under the general laws, he is al
lowed to withhold per cent for
collecting funds for the State.
County Clerk Lewis has collected
s67,93S in Fayette County for au-
tomobile licenses and puts the COM
mission due him at $3,396.90. He
sues for himself and all County
Clerks of Kentucky as we'll and, as
the States revenue from motor We
hicle licenses is estimated at ST.
100000, the total commissins
sought for County Clerks would
amount to 100000.
