Owing to the improved methods of making use of coal in the steam power electric generating plants, thousands of tons of fuel are being saved. According to the geological survey in 1922, this saving amounted to 10, 500.0 .000 tons, as compared with the practice of & few years before. In 1923 the average consumption of coal per kilowatt was greatly de- creased as compared with that of 1919 from reports gathered from the plants in all parts of the country.

ALABAMA COTTON YIELD OF 832,OOO BALES PREDICTED.
Report Of F. w. Gistt Indi- cateS Crop Only 52 Per
 Cent Normal
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU)
 THE AGE-HERALD !

Afa., Aug. 3l
 Condition reports on the Alabama cotton crop dated August 25 indicate that the total yield in this state this year will be SS2,000 bales, compared with total of S23,6O0 bales last year, according to a statement issued today by F. w. Gist, agricultural statistician, following the announce ment of the condition report by the Washington office. The condition of Alabama cotton August 25 was found to be 62 of normal, compared with 8 condition of 66 last month and n prospective yield of 914,000 bales.
 Mir Gist ascribed the had condition to continued rains, excessive cloudi- ness, boil weevil and leaf worm which caused sharp damage during the month.
 MT. Gist's statement Continued:
 "Weevil 16amage is said to be the most severe since 1916, especially in the south half of the state. The crop Is late in the north half and may be subject to severe weevil damage during the next month unless warm, fair and dry weather prevails.
 The cotton leaf worm has infest- ed the north half of the state and few southern counties. It is not be- lieved that the first generation, whose activity is passed. did much actual damage. Most counties where infestation was heavy brought the worm under control with poison The second generation, due the first week in September, may not be so heavy as it would have been In the absence of poisoning; but If it should be a nu- merous infestation some counties may yet suffer some loss
 The district condition figures for Al gust ,25 are as follows: Northwest. 65; Tennessee valley, 65; Mineral 60 northeast, 60; black belt west, 50: black belt east, 45; east central, 55 southwest, 55; south central, 42; southeast, 40
 For comparative purposes the Au- gust 25 condition in Alabama for each year since 1916 is given as fol- lows 1916, 45; 1917. 65; 1918, 6G; 1919, 55; 1920. 5s; 1921. 53; 1922, CO.,"

MATERIAL NOT WASTED
r. G.. MARSHALL, JR. FORMER
CHIEF OF CONSTRUCTION De.
MES CHARGES.

Pittsburg.-Attorney General Daugh-
erty was accused Of using the power
Of Indictment In the war camp con.
tract cases for political purposes and
Of besmirching regulations without
evidence to even decently support his
charges In speech at Pittsburg by
R. G. Marshall, Jr.. chief Of the con-
struction department Of the army dur
Ing the war.
Addressing a business mems lunch
con Mr.. Marshall, who formerly held
the rank Of brigadier general. said the
Department Of Justice "after five
years and following investigations
costing the government hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars" had the unmlti-
gated effrontery to plead unprepared-
ness In several of the cases. at the
same time accusing contractors Of in
efficiency for having built whole cit
les In ninety days
'.The spectacle Of these men (the
war camp contractors) pllloried In the
public press, posted as evil selfseekers
In the time Of the nations travail"
Mr.. Marshall said, "is the result Of
our fluctuating political power. There
are men and processes actively at
work In this great department today
who. unless restrained, can SO dis
credit the funcuonlng Of that 0rgani-
zation that the confidence Of the peo-
pie In It will be LOST
Plans for letting contracts under
which wartime camps were construct
ed, he continued, were the only plans
under which they could have been
properly built In the time required.
The form Of the contracts, he said
were Identical with those generally en-
ployed In commercial work. and con-
tractors who built the camps received
less than 8 per cent gross profit and
less than 1 per cent net profit when
taxes and other charges not reimburs-
able were deducted.
Mr. Marshall denied charges that
there was "nn unconsclonable waste Of
material and labor" declaring It was
bitter Irony that the men who built
the camps ut a time when enough
skilled laborers were impossible to
find" now were accused Of fraud "be-
cause they produced results with the
second and third and fourth-rate men
available" Testimony on which tho
indictments were based. he said, was
given by and-picked witnesses"

WILDWOOD FIREMEN OPPOSED TO
POLITICAL CONTROL OF FIRE
MEMS STATE HOME

The Wildwood firemen this week
went on record as being opposed to
the proposition recently put forth by
the board of managers of the State
Firemen's Home for the building of a
State Hospital at an approximate cost
of 100000 and a maintenance charge
of approximately $4,000 annually.
They are opposed to political control
of the board of managers but are in
favor of the passage of the bill which
will make the election of this board
by the state firemen instead of by
present appointment of the governor.
They believe that this is the only right
method of procedure, for in this way
it would place the appointment di-
rectly through the fremen and not in
any way through political factions.
There is a fremen's relief fund now
totaling $3.50, 600. This fund has
long been looked at by politicians as
road building or other purposes, but
the firemen are going to protect their
rights and money and dictate how this
money is to be spent irrespective of
what politicians may say or believe.
The action of the Wildwood fremen
as. being opposed to this State Hos
pital plan will no doubt be taken up
by many other companies throughout
the state and the local firemen will no
doubt be commended by all firemen
who think the control of the relief
funds should be left in their hands.
In a business as necessary as that
followed by fremen, either volunteer
of paid companies, there is no room
for political views or control. The
local companies have taken a brave
stand and they are to be commended
for it..

ARREST IN NEW EGYPT OF WILD.
WOOD R0BBER

With the sentencing of the Rosetta
Shop gang on Wednesday INT news
of another successful piece of work
by City Detective Chas. Unfreed, of the
Wildwood police force Last Septem-
Der Herbert Wagner, of New Egypt,
was boarding at the home of Mrs. H.
Scheuler, on East Garfield avenue He
disappeared one day and at the same
time a gold watch and $50 belonging
to Mrs. Ella Oliver, of New Egypt,
and a gold watch belonging to Mrs.
Scheuler also vanished. An investiga-
ton by Detective Unfreed followed
and he learned that Wagner had gone
to Ocean City by taxi, thence to Allan
tic City, Camden and New York, where
he got a position as waiter in a res
taurant. He left that place, however,
and further investigation was neces-
sary. He was finally located on a
farm not far from New Egypt where
he was serving as a laborer. A war
rant was issued for his arrest and
State Trooper Hoch, stationed at Free
hold, arrested him this week. Detect
i've Unfreed went to Freehold on Tues
day and brought Wagner back to Wild
wood. He was given a hearing be-
fore Justice of the Peace Byrne and
held for court under $500 bail.
Wagner is known to be an opium
smoker, so police officials inform us.
Recently, not being able to secure
opium, he has taken to the use OF
morphine.
In trailing Wagner down with very
little clues to work on, Detective I'm
freed has scored another success in
his line of work. Prosecutor Solan
and Judge Eldredge both gave words
of praise for his work in the Rosetta
Shop case and there is little doubt
but that the growth of the county is
going to bring about the need of a
county detective and that Unfreed will
be the first choice for such a position.

SHILOH HIGH SCHOOL BOY WINS
GOLD MEDAL

At the State Potato Exhibit held at
Trenton last week, Francis Bates, a
high school boy from Shiloh, near
Bridgeton, won the gold medal for the
best exhibit of main crop cobblers.
This is the highest prize awarded in
this class and the boy has every rea-
son to be proud of his achievement,
for his competitors were mature farm
ers. The potatoes from which Francis
selected his exhibit were grown as
a part of his high school work in agri-
culture. Each boy studying agricul-
ture in the high schools of New Jersey
must carry out a farm enterprise at
home under the direction of the
teacher of agriculture. This boy grew
potatoes as his home enterprise and
he profited by his school instruction
as shown by his winning at the State
Potato Show.
