Judge Lovet of Union Pacific Off,
 fers Suggestions

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April D. The Southern Pacific and Union Pa cific systems should be consolidated if the old Hill rail lines in the west are united as proposed to the inter- state commerce commission by Hale Holden. president of the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy railroad Judge Robert 8. Lovett, chairman ot the Union Pacific. declared at hear ing on consultations held here today before Henry c. Hall, a member of the commission.
 Judge Lovett declared that the con- solidation of the Great Northern Northefn Pacific and Burlington, as proposed by MT. Holden in his -four system" plan for consolidating west ern. railroads would set up a system for overshadowing the competitors provided by that project. There was an apparent recognition of this, he declared, in the plans own "jum- bling" of other lines with the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in order that there should be other systems the Hill combination, however un- equal in solidarity.
 Criticzing the Holden plan in de- tail, he asserted 1t sent both the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific far afield into territories where they never have been and where there Is apparently no reason. for them to go." and added: The Hill lines are treated very conservatively in this respect"
 Judge Lovett said the Holden plan weakened the old Hartman lines by loading them down with lines for and by making sthem competitors of their nafc|ral alliet

The policy of isolation" the former democratic standard bearer said, lis to blame for this condition"
 Your agricultural interests in Florida are prosperous" said former Governor Cox. In the north they are not. The reasons for these di- verging, conditions are found in the present American policy of isolation.
 Your Florida products are con sumed in America. In the grain and live stock states. production exceeds consumption-the surplus must be sold abroad. Your surplus has a ready market-that of the north Is now without an outlet. Stagnation has resulted in prices that have brought the farmer in the north, the middle west and the west to a condi- tion bordering on bankruptcy.

FINDS COAL ORIGIN
English Scfentist Makes Interesting
 Discovery While Studying Lava

LONDON, April 2.-(By Associated Press.)-Prof. Barton Scammell, president of the Radium Institute at Dover, asserts that he has discovered the origin of coal. He has been en- gagged in research work with lava from Mount Vesuvius which is being used as fertilizer, and says this led to the discovery that the layers of hind mysterious substance found on the top and bottom of all coal seams-are identical in analysis with lava.
 The bind contains lime. iron, mag nesum, potash and other elements required by plant life, and when made radio active with solutions of radiophosphate of potash it absorbs nitrogen from the air and forms a perfect fertilizer.
 The origin of coal is thus ex- plained by Prof. Scammell. It Is a cellulose of trees and vegetable mat ter earbonized by hot lava. thus forming coal and sunk into the depth of the earth by disturbances of the earth's crust at a remote period
