BIG ORDERS FILLED

BIG ORDERS FILLED
 When the American strike ended there had been more than 00,000 tons of British coal shipped to the United States and Canada since the early days of August, During Sep tember there were 500000 tons more shipped, and it is believed that the demand for coal from America will not subside until well into the Win ter months. The future contracts have fallen off considerably since the end of the American strike, but even now the demand is far above the pre-war normal.
 The majority of the orders from America have been for industrial coal, although there has been a considerable demand for bunkering coal From Canada there have come grades of anthracite coal, and the supplies of this grade are now very limited on the English market.
 The prices of coal in England for export have fluctuated with the for tunes of the American strikers. The lower grades of export coal were selling for less than twenty shil- lings a ton when the strike broke out, and immediately the first Am erican orders were received the pric- es sky-rocketed and within a few weeks there was an increase of 50 per cent Since the strike ended, however, there has been a gradual recession in the price, except in the instance of anthracite coal of the best quality.
 MARKET WAS DEAD The continental market has been practically closed to the British trade because of the rates of exchange. German buyers have been unable to buy at all and French and Italian buyers have been scarce.
 The English householder will prob- ably not feel the effects of the Am erican demands upon the domestic coal market, because America has been getting only that coal which usually goes to the continent How ever, there has been an increase in the price of household coal of about 20 per cent but it is explained that this is the usual season increase. Probably one effect of the Ameri- can strike has been an increase in the demands from the United States and Canada for British iron. In Sep

=. Los Angeles, Cal.-The police are
seeking the murderer of William Des-
mond Taylor, the man who lived two
lives Of mystery, are no nearer to the
solution OF the crime than they were
when the body was discovered.
A motion picture actor and camera
man taken into custody by deputy
sheriffs and questioned at length for
possible clews as to the murder estab-
lished alibis for Wednesday night, the
time of the Staying, and otherwise sat
isfied the officers of their innocence
OF all completely and were released.
Their names were not made public.
In reality, motion picture actor
far better known than the one ques-
5ioned is reported to be under suspi-
cion. Jealousy is ascribed as the mo-
tive and in this connection names of
women stars are mentioned.
1t was learned that police rest their
hopes Of solution. of the mystery on
series of tiny ridges and whorls and
loops, the faint lines made on the
smooth surfaces of doors and tables
and chair arms in the coy bachelor
flat where Taylor lived. on finger
prints, and on the information to be
obtained from a band Of dope peddlers
they are watching, and on the arrest
of Taylor's former valet, Edward F.
Sands.
The finger prints, though, are the
most reliable clews SO far found and
in them rests the fate of some of the
prettiest stars in the movie colony.
1t is impossible to tell the finger
print of. man from that OF woman,
but an.,expert might be able to make
good guess from the size and shape
Of the print, and it seems that num-
Der Of women left their identities
stamped in the prosaic furniture In the
dead mans rooms.
Many of the movie stars have been
questioned by the police. Mabel Nor
nfand, who left Taylor few minutes
before ne was killed; Mary Miles Min
ter, who became hystericats'when she
heard OF the murder, and others known
to have been fond of him at some time
during his life in Hollywood, have been
interviewed by the police. but have
been unable to furnish the slightest
clew. Can the others tell anything
OF value?
A woman called up the detective
headquarters and said she had some
information on the murder. Detectives
went hurriedly to her home, but would
not say what she had revealed. 1t was
the first bit Of information given vol
unfairly.

ALL: SOUGHT COLD
Every AGE Has Felt Lure OF the
Precious Metal.
Well Described as One Of the Most
Compelling Forces in MoIding
of Human History.

Gold has been one of the most COM
pclling forces in the molding of hu-
man history, says the Mentor Maga-
zine. In all ages and all languages the
word itself has been Turing and COM
manding. In the second chapter OF
Genesis, the land of Havilah. where
there is gold" is mentioned. The Ark
of the Covenant was extensively or
namented with gold. Solomon's throne
was of gold, and. when the queen OF
Sheba visited Him, it was flanked by
soldiers bearing two hundred targets
of beaten gold" The Three Wise Men
of the East, who followed the star OF
Bethlehem, bore golden gifts. In Rev
elation the Apostle John pictures the
heavenly city as one of golden streets.
Gold has usually been the lure Of
the venturesOme. Jason and his Ar
gonauts set sail from Sicily to the
farther shore of the Black sea to bring
back the golden fleece. In later times,
Philip the Good. duke Of Burgundy,
banded his knights into the famous
Order of the Golden Fleece.
Propertius, whose life covered
roughly the so years preceding the
birth of Christ. wrote: :'This is in
deed the golden age. The greatest re-
wards come from gold by gold, love is
won; by gold. faith is destroyed; by
gold, justice is bought. The law fol-
lows the track of gold, while modesty
will soon follow it, when love is gone
Marcus Crassus, the Roman general,
was so eager for the gold of the Par
thians that he led his son and IL le-
gions into disastrous defeat. AS he
lay dead the Parthians poured molten
gold into his gaping mouth.
No symbol has so pervaded history
as the gold ring. The wedding ring
has always been Of gold. The rulers
of Venice used to toss wedding ring
into the sea, thus consecrating the
union Of Venice and the Adriatic sea.
Wedding rings of the Seventeenth CEN
tury bore the motto, "The wife will be
subject to the man." Hannibal ended
his life with poison ring.
When one pope wished to reward q
queen for her pious work he pre-
sented her with cluster Of roses and
buds worked in pure gold.
The caliph Of Bagdad was inaugu-
rated by throwing over his head >
golden veil. strongly scented Win
musk.
The lure of gold more than the de-
sire for knowledge led to the discov-
cry and conquest of America. Pizar-
70 reduced the native population Of
Peru from, 100000 to 100000 in
his quest for gold. Montezuma, king
of the Aztecs in Mexico, sealed his
doom when he let Cortez, the Span
sh conquerer. know of a great amount
Of gold he had.
In all times the dream of trans
muting baser- metals to gold has been
q dream of man. Alchemy, black
art that swayed king and commoner
alike, only ceased to exist in the Eight
eenth century when James Price, a
distinguished amateur chemist, be-
lieved that he had discovered the Sc
cret. He presented some Of his man
ufactured gold to George w, but when
called upon to demonstrate his proc
ess to committee of the scientists,
drank laurel water and died almost

IDIOTIC, SAYS REED
OF NEWBERRY VOTE
Most Shameless Resolution in His
tory, He Declares.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The Senate
was told to-day by Senator Reed
Democrat, Missouri, that never in
all the history of legislative bodies In
the world has SO shameless resolu-
tion been adopted" as that approved
by the Senate in confirming Senator
Newberry, Republican, Michigan, in
his seat.
'There is not a man who voted for
this resolution" Senator Reed said,
"who did not brand in red letters
above and over his political record
the word tdishonor.' No word of
tongue and no word of pen can de-
scribe the degradation of that reso-
luton and self-confessed degradation
of those who supported it.
81 wish that the Newebrry resolu-
tion could be printed in 100000
COPIES" Senator Reed continued,
"and pasted on the footboard of every
bed in America so that the men,
women and children, on awakening
and saying their prayers for the rest
of creation might invoke Almighty
God to forgive the men who voted
that the acts of the kind done in the
election of Newberry were of char
acter to endanger the republic and
then voted to confirm Newberry in
his seat.

was the most stupid piece Of business
that has ever disgraced any body of
men, whether pirates sailing the seas
under the black flag or statesmen
here seated in this body.

JUDGE ELKINS AT
JIMMIE'S PLAYHOUSE
Under Auspices Of the Christian En-
deavor Last Sunday.

Last. Sunday afternoon an excep
tionally large audience, filing al
most every seat in the house, was
present to hear Judge R. A. Elkins
of Dresden, speak on the subject ol
making life count for something.
The address was preceded by a mu.
sical selection rendered by Miss
Louise Adams end reading number
from John Trotwood Moore by Miss
Hazel Manley.
Judge Elkins voiced his gratitude
for the privilege of speaking to the
people of this city and county. He
referred to the fact that Obion Coun-
ty had always given him liberal sup
port and made his associations here
very pleasant.
1 Beginning with some general re-
marks, Judge Elkins spoke of the
present mode of expensive living. A
striking contrast, said the Judge, to
the simple life of our grandparents.
They had very few of the luxuries
that we enjoy to-day, and the stand
ards of living were much better than
ours.
Picking up the threads of the dis
course, Judge Elkins made the state
ment that it is easy to make living,
but infinitely harder to make life
what it should be. We are, con-
sciously or unconsciously, fixing the
standards that will govern the lives
of future generations. Matters not
how we figure that our lives should
be, the lives we are actually living
are those which are mOlding the
character Of unborn generations. 1t
cannot be otherwise. The child will
take after its father or mother, and
whatever the mother or the father
SO will be the child. Then how i'm
portant that we make our lives
worthy of emulation. Judge Elkins
appealed particularly to the young
people to prepare themselves for the
right kind of living. Make your
selves honorable and efficient. Do
this not alone that you may live
right, but that others who are de-
pending on you and coming in con-
tact with you may profit by the in
fluence you exert upon them.
The generations of to-day, said
Judge Elkins, are living with alco-
coholism in retreat and the augu-
ry of world peace before them. Will
they be equal to the Importance of
sustaining these conditions and
ideals. 1t will take men and women
of moral courage end character to
keep up the fight and uphold the
faith in these principles.
Judge Elkins quoted in closing the
lines so suggestive on this subject:
"Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime.
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time"
