COAL PRODUCTION
HAS SLIGHT RISE
Output on Thursday in Blum
inous Fields Was Greatest
Since Strike Inaugurated
lRx The AssoeIated Pressl

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Bitumt-
nous coal production in the United
States, reduced by IS per cent when
miners in unionized fields walked out
April l, is now showing a slight in
crease, it was reported today by the
geological survey. Non-union fields
where operations are continuing pro-
duced 1912 carloads Monday, April
10, and forged slowly ahead on each
succeeding day until Thursday, April
IS, the last day recorded, when the out
put was II, ,480 cars.
The , production on April 13,
Though less than districts now at
work are able to produce when de-
mand is active" the survey said, was
the greatest of any single day since
the strike began. On Monday, April g.,
production was 11,445 carloads, but in
the next few days output even in the
non union fields showed a tendency to
fall off. On the last full weak for
which the surveys reports account.
that ending April 8, the total biturni-
NOUS output was 3,7S4,000 tons Added
to this, small production of anthra- :
cite was also reported, though the
miners strike is considered most ef-
fective in that field making total coal
production during the week 3,793,o0o
tons. this total was not likely to be
exceeded In the week ending April Is,
the report indicated.
Comparing conditions to those en-
countered during the last great sus-
pension in the industry-the strike of
.1919-the survey remarked that dur
ing the first week OF that strike pro-
duction was only s,582,000 tons of bi-

Existing demand Is not able to call
out full production in those districts
remaining at work" the survey con-
cluded. From mines in many nom
union fields reports Of no market and
dull demand continue to be received
The number OF cars loaded at the
mines but unconsigned to consumers
was very large when the strike began,
but latest reports from railroads show
that it is increasing rather than de-
|creasing.'

OPTIMISTIC SPIRIT
PREVAILS in GENOA
Peaceful Feeling in Conference
Circles Is Truly in Keeping
With Easter Spirit.
tsy The Associates pressl

GENOA, April IA feeling of opti-
mism peryades conferences circles,
truly in keeping with sthe Easter spirit
Signor Schanzer, the italian foreign
minister speaking with the Associated
Press correspondent today, Indicated
his full circulate in the results Of the
conference.
1T is already great and historic
he said, but above all of moral value,
which must inevitably lead to salts
factory consequences. 1t is. however,
too early in the proceedings to hazard
prediction as to the magnitude and
extent Of the final results which the
| conference may reach. The spirit of
tolerance shown by the delegations of
the leading countries, despite. the
alarmist report circulated, Is good
omen for the work OF pacihcation of
Europe and towards which the efforts
of all countries, irrespective of whether
they are victors, vanquished or neu-
trals anxiously tend"
The first week of the conference
ended with what on Monday last ap-
peared impossible "a tendency to a re-
approachment between France and
Russia. The Russian delegates have
clearly understood during these seven
days that, despite Anglo-French differ
ences of opinion, they cannot count
on a rupture between the two leading
allies; so that their only hope of OBJ
tanning what they desire in the con-
ference is to come to an understand
ing with France.
The French delegates on their side
realize that rupture with England
and a conflict with Russia would vir-
tually mean the. isolation OF France,
so that FORCE of circumstance brings
them to seek compromise with Rus
sia.
The meetings at the Villa De Al
bertis, arranged by Premier Lloyd
George. have not by any means been
the only attempts at a rapproachment.
Yesterday while the experts were en-
gagged In discussions over figures, NJ.
Barthou of the French delegation,
tempted by the fine weather, decided
to motor to Portoflno, which has the
reputation Of affording the best view
of the Mediterranean sea. BY a coin
cidence, or perhaps not, NJ Chitcherin,
head of the Russian delegation, at
about the same time had the same idea
and 1notored to Portoflno from Santa
MarRherita Naturally, the two dele
gates who had already met both
around the conference table and at the
villa De Albertis came together again
and endoyed the view with mutual adj
mirat1on. Il
But fate had not yet exhausted her
store OF condolences. A short time
later who should appear but Mr.. Lloyd
George, who also apparently had been
seized by an irresistible desire to ad-
nnire the panorama at Portof1no. The
British prime minister Joined his two
fellow delegates, but TT Is not known
whether the earnest conversation
which ensued concerned the beauties
of the view or graver questions.

BELFAST, April 16.-Notwithstand

in Belfast Easter Sunday, not q single
casualty had been reported up to ii
o'clock tonight. An unusually large
number Of holdups by armed men took
place in the streets Of Belfast Satur-
day might but no big amounts were
secured by the highwaymen.
Complete quiet prevailed Saturday
night and today along the Fermanagh
border.
There was continuous firing in the
north side of Dublin Saturday night.
Considerable alarm prevailed among
the residents in the neighborhood OF
the Broadstone station and Mount Joy
prison. According to one account re-
ceiyed here, the republicans endeav-
ored to seize Mount Joy prison which
was guarded by Irish republican army
regulars
Broadstone is the station from which

ception. Handshaking was the order
of the day at Mullingar, while at

,., r,rrdar committed in Siberia, fed

,,.a,.a informed Senator Borah by tele-
graph tonight
"if the army of Semenoff was rec
o,r,qed bv our authorities at the time
10 murder was committed" Mr.. Hay
,,.,rd said the only appeal would
have been to his military superiors
there.
IF his army was not recognized our
military authorities had the right to
capture, try and punish him at that
time. but not now" -'.
Mr.. Hayward's telegram read as fol-
lows:
81 have your telegram asking
whether Semenoff can be held respon-
sible for the murder of American SOL
diers in Siberia. He is not subject
10 prosecution in federal courts of the
United States, because his acts do not
come within the we'll defined limit OF
their territorial or admiralty jurisdic-
ton. No state court could try him as
they all depend for jurisdiction on the
venue Of the crime.
The general Jurisdiction OF mill
tary authorities extend beyond the
army to several enumerated classes of
persons, namely camp followers. spies
and those giving aid and comfort to
the enemy. Semenof fall within none
Of these classes. So far as i can learn
he was part OF an Independent army
acting with the contingent Of the
United States. If that is a correct
statement of his position, it would
seem that he would be punishable by
his own military superiors. but not by
our government.
III we recognize his army as an in
dependent unit, worthy to fight with
our soldiers for whatever cause they
fought in Siberia, l assume that the
proper and only course was to protest
to his superiors at the time and de-
mand his punishment by them. If we
did not so recognize his army, he was
then and there subject to capture,
rial and punishment by our military
forces as a guerilla.
Therefore, l conclude no American
court can now try Semenoff. Some
nations claim jurisdiction and threaten
punishment for certain crimes COM
mitted by a foreigner in foreign coun-
tries but l believe this right has
never meen recognized by the law of
nations, We expressly denied Mexi-
cos right in 1886 to try an American
citizen for libel committed in Texas
and interviewed and demanded his re-
lease, See Cutting case and opinion
OF John Bassett Moore.
In my opinion Semenofe would be
subject to prosecution under any gov
er'1ment now or hereafter maintain
ing sovereignty over territory where
me acts were committed, and by no
other"
