Domestic Market Clear
But Buying Lags; Most

With tho announcement of the
sale of the johnson lot from 150
acres of prune orchard near Cor
Wallis of the 1880 size at nine
cents a pound and the statement
by the Journal of Commerce Of
New York city, recognized author
ity on the prune market that "the
understocked dried fruit market
as dealers enter the holiday sea-
son is the outstanding feature of
the situation" there is a feeling
among prune growers that the
market Will soon recover from its
temporary slowness.
The Journal OF Commerce also
says in its latest report on the
situation, "in prunes, there is q
demand for prompt shipments"
rs Per Cent Sold.
Although the prune crop this
year in the northwest was more
than double that Of one year ago,
already more than rs per cent OF
the 1922 crop has been sold.
According to the estimates Of
prune buyers, the crop this year
will run about 100000 pounds,
compared to crop one year ago
of about 25,O00,000 pounds.
Based on 100000 pound
estimate, there is now in the
hands of growers and Independent
packers, 100000 pounds of this
years crop of prunes.
w. F. Drager states that grow
ers are still holding fom four to
five million pounds, awaiting a
higher market and that the re-
mainder of the unsold crop is held
by Independent packers. He be-
lieves there is little chance for

WOMAN NOT
APT TO GAIN
SENATE SEAT
Georgia Appointee Sees
Upper House Convene
From Sidelines; Lead
ers Predict Failure.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Mrs. W.
H. FELTON, of Georgia waited in
vain for an hour and a half in the
senate chamber today to learn
whether senate leaders would per-
NIT her to take her seat as the
first woman senator, in view of
the recent election of Walter F.
George as her successor. After
much scratching of heads over the
problem, the senate managers de-
cided to let a decision go over
until tomorrow.
From place in the rear of the
senate on the democratic side Of
the chamber the S7-year-old
grand old women of Georgia"
peered out through her spectacles
upon the opening formalities of
the special session and then with
out a mention of her name hav-
ing gone into the senate record,
saw an adjournment taken until
tomorrow as mark Of respect for
the late Senator Watson, to whose
place she had been appointed by
Governor Hardwick.
An hour and half before the
gavel was to fall opening the spe-
cial session of congress, Mrs. Eel
ton entered the senate chamber
on the arm of former Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia, sent her
bonnet and cloak to be hung up
in the democratic cloak room, and
took up a position on sofa on
the democratic side, with her SEN
atorial commission in her lap.
Mrs. FELTON, appeared undis-
turbed by these preparations, as
she kept her vigil in the chamber,
she told inquirers that when op-
portunity offered she would pre-
sent her credentials and then, if
they were not honored, she would
make speech. AS former SEN
ator, even by appointment, sRe
would have the privilege of re-
naming on the senate floor, but
could not take part in the pro-
ceedings.
Mrs. FELTON, said she would con-
tinue her efforts to be seated for
day, and it was indicated that
the senate was prepared to act
tomorrow. Some Of the best in
formed leaders predicted sne
would not be successful.
Senate officials said there was
no thought in their early adjourn
ment today of temporizing on
their decision. They explained
that usual custom Of doing honor
to a dead senator was followed
and that it was impossible to re-
ceiYe a new senator until formal
notification Of the death had been
received, with the customary i'm
mediate adjournment.

SEIZE SHIP
Chinese Pirat es Ship
AS Passengers Out OF
Macao; Control Craft
Thirteen Hours.

Hong Kong, Nov. 20.-(By AS
ISOLATED Press, -Sixty-five Chin
ese buccaneers who might have
stepped from an ancient log of
the Spanish main, travelled as
passengers aboard the British
steamer Sui-An when she left
Macao for Hong Kong yesterday

few miles out, the pirates held
her for 13 hours and the crew
and passengers made Hong Kong
today with their captors driven
away in sampans, ony after a
fierce battle in which two were
killed and several wounded, In
cluding the captain OF the Sui
An, French priest and another
European passenger.
The British steamer was carry
ing a large number of European
and Chinese passenger. The pir-
ates, heavily armed, were dis
guised as first or second class
passengers.
When the Europeans showed re-
sistance the pirates threatened to
beach and burn the vessel. In
the fighting that followed, two
indian watchmen were killed and
two others Of the crew were
wounded. The captains 3 wound is
serious.
The invaders then got the up
per hand and locked up passen-
gers and crew. The pirates passed
Hong Kong, out at sea and began
to steam in the direction Of Swa-
tow.
Finally, 13 hours later, a Euro
pean shot and wounded the pir-
ate chief. THE chiefs wife then
directed that the excursion be
abandoned. Midway between
Hong Kong and Swatow the OUT
laws escaped in sampans. The
steamer reached Hong Kong at
noon today.

Election Contest Cost
Bill Case Taken Under
Amusement Here Today

Following a hearing Of attor-
neys' arguments relative to the
$4,000 cost bill submitted by Gov
ernof Olcott for expenses said to
have been incurred in the r. II.
Coster primary election contest,
Circuit Judges Percy Kelly and
George Bingham this noon took
the case under adyisement.
Cassius Peck, appearing for
Mr.. Coster, held that attorneys
fees asked by the governor were
excessive and insisted that $50 o
day, for the IL days spent in
court, would be reasonable. Jay
Bowerman who, with Roy Shields,
represented the governor, pointed
out that, approximately, six weeks
were spent by him and Mr.. Shields
in preparatory work. Mr.. Bower
man and Mr.. Shields asked the
entire amount of the $4,000 bond
posted by Mr.. Coster, and declared
that expenses actually incurred
ran greatly in excess Of that
figure.
Mr.. Peck also contested items
having to do with expenses In
Cured while securing information
at various points over the state.
The election contest was insti-
tuted by Mr.. Coster in behalf Of
Charles Hall, republican candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination,
and was dropped after days Of
court procedure in which the
greater number Of charges made
were not substantiated.

PROHIBITION IS
L|KENED TO WAR
BY COL. SMITH.

Colonel Dan Morgan Smith.
who commanded the Battalion Of
Death" during the offensive In the
st. Mihiel sector during the great
war, spoke Sunday afternoon at
the First Methodist church to an
audience that fully taxed the seat
ing capacity Of the large auditor
ium. He spoke for the purpose Of
securing funds for the World
League Against Alcoholism"
There Is no glory in war;" de-
clared Colonel Smith. 1T is just
cold business. And instead Of put
ing in jail opponents OF the war,
we should have hanged them ALL"
Must Back Dry Laws.
It is the duty Of citizens TO
stand by the constitution on the
prohibition issue, just as 1t was
their duty to stand with the gov
ernment during the war, he said.
The same congress declared war
both on Germany and the liquor
business.
While the colonel does not be-
lieve in Americans claiming they
won the war, he does claim that
General Pershing's demand that
Americans be allotted their own
sectors on the fighting line short
ened the war at least two years.
Tells of Own Work.
Referring to his battalion Of
Death" which was surrounded for
three days by the Germans, Col
onel Smith saidi my battalion
pierced the German line by orders
We got the German artillery by
going after it. We had done the
work cut out for three regiments.
We fought the Germans all night
and then whipped them good and
plenty in the morning Of that
famous day"
AS for the bootlegger, Colonel
Smith said he was the smallest
one horse crook in the country.
And the man who patronizes .
bootlegger was no better, he said.
and both should be in the peni-
tentlary.
The large audience was liberal
In signing pledges for giving 8
monthly sum FOR period Of five
years to assist the fight on alc6>

coo 900 600 tons at the beginning OF
1919.
In 1918 Illinois produced 49,
291,105 tons of coal, more than 15.4
percent of the total bituminous
production of the United States for
that year" Mr.. Lathrop continued.
Using the production of 1918 as
a basis and calculating on recov-
cry of 80 percent, which l believe
to be more nearly correct, there is
being mined and wasted about
175, 100000 tons of Illinois coal a
year.
There is no evidence that the
rate of removal will not increase
for some years to come. On the
1918 basis of removal, the coal de-
posits of the state will be exhaust
ed in 500 years. Operators near
Johnson City and Herrin think this
part of the field will be active for
a period of so years.
"Of course other areas less ac-
cessible will come into prominence
as the more faVorably located de-
posits are exhausted. But is SO
years a sufficient look into the fu-
ture? Is 500 years to be consid-
cred as the limit of time during
which we should expect to use coal?
Should we not begin now to con-
slider more efficient uses of our coal
supply in order that its life may
be heightened.
Must Stop Waste.
"In order to do this we should
begin at once to get at the root of
the evil Wastes due to mining
operations such as mining lower
veins first and leaving so percent
of the coal underground should be
given up. Practice of better uses
of coal should be encouraged.
Smoking chimneys which waste
millions of tons of coal annually
The Rock Island Argus and daily union., 1922-05-31

should be eliminated. Engines OBJ
tanning a higher efficiency from
coal fired should be put into use. "
Mr.. Lathrop said the bituminous
coal fields of Illinois underlies
three-fourths of the state and that
"eighty-five counties share in the
wealth of this great field" He
pointed out that in 1918 Franklin
county produced 12,373,356 tons of
coal valued at s29,224,5S0, while in
the same year Champaign county,
the greatest corn producer. produc-
ed corn valued at S13,S69,931, not
quite half of the value of Franklin
county coal.
Chicago Leads.
illinois" he said, consumes
more than so percent of its own
production of coal, Chicago lead
ing with IA percent.
Mr.. Lathrop said that coking of
coal and the substitution of gas
engines for steam engines "means
a great extension of the life of our
coal deposits"
LAS late as 1917" he continued
illinois coal was classed as nom
choking coal of high sulphur con-
tent. Only five years later 100 per-
cent Illinois Goals and mixtures of
high percentages of Illinois Goals
were being coked successfully"

Calls For Halt in Waste.

johnson City, ILL.,, May 31.-The
coal deposits of Illinois will be ex-
hausted in, 500 years on the 1918
basis of removal, according TO W.
G. Lathrop, principal of the john
son City high school, who has made
a study of the coal resources of
the state.
While stating that it was estimat-
ed that more than SO percent of
the vast coal resources of Illinois
is still beneath the surface, Mr.
Lathrop declared that it was time
to give consideration to more eff
eient uses of the coal supply in or
der that its life might be length
ened.
1t was estimated by the state

original deposits in Illinois amount
ed to 1886, 100000 tons. Mr..

total of 2,205 ,S5s,000 tons of coal
