Thus the 9,49S miners who had a
chance to work as much as 200 days
in 1924 were dependent for about
three quarters Of their market on the
railroads.
"As consumers mines increase,
either in number or capacity" says
Stewart, "the outlet for truly COM
mercial coal is restricted"
The increase in the number of con-
sumers' mines is to growing extent
connected with the development of
public utilities. The greater use OF
gas and electricity in industrial plants
and homes means that the consump-
ton of coal will be largely centralized
in giant gas and electric plants. These
plants are today co-ordinated by a
few big public utility trusts which
are buying and operating their own
mines.
The tendency shown by Stewart
suggests, therefore, that the stabilize
ton Of the industry may come thru
its consolidation under the public
utility combines, to the practical ex-
clusion of all but few operators for
the open market.

boats challenged it thinking it to be
an opium runner. The customs boat
ignored the command and attempted
to proceed on its way.
Customs Boat in Wrong.
The crew of the gunboat convinced
Of its suspicious opened fire imme-
diately with the result that the GUS
toms boat was well riddled with bull
lets and one OF the party on board, a
Britisher, was wounded.
This was the incident which occa-
stoned the alarm on the part Of the
local consular body.
There are several aspects of the
case which 1t would be In order to
mention here. In the first place, it is
obvious even to the novice in the
question OF military or naval law that
the customs boat was in the wrong.
Since the Whangpoo river is at least
nominally, Chinese territory, the Chin
ese gunboat had full jurisdiction over
this area; hence, the customs boat
should have arrested its course and
declared its identity. Failing in this
important measure the customs boat
was, naturally, fred on with the re-
sulting injury to one Of the passen-
gers.

Another interesting fact is that

Await The End

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 6-Unmoved by criticism of other members of the Seventh Day Adventist church, 12 followers of Mrs, Margaret w. Row en of Hollywood, Cal, calmly wait ed today at College View, a suburb. for the millennium. They believed 1t would come at midnight, with Christ appearing as cloud to begin his seven days journey to earth gather ing along the way the saints to &C., company him.
 Most of those who waited went about their usual work, although some lasted and prayed.
 Joe Gammel, leader of the group, said no pompous preparations had been made.
 "We will await the end of the world in our homes," Mrs. Gammel said.
 "The College View cult will not go 10 the hilltop as some followers. They do that only to escape tho mob of unsaved who run riot in an- ger on the earth.
 At first, Christ appearing as cloud no larger than a mans hand, will begin his trip from heaven to earth. It will require seven days for him 10 reach us, for he has stops to make. One of these stops will be on planet. not now visible to any earthly person. That Is the planet nearer heaven. CThere arrangements will be made to feed those saints whom Christ brings back from earth. The journey back will also take seven days"
 Cult members homes are virtual ly stripped of furniture, only the bare necessities remaining, they having sold most everything to set tic their worldly debts and be pre- pared for their ascension.
 Leaders in the Seventh Day Ad- ventist church term the Rowen doc Urine as false and contrary 10 the teachings of their church.

KENTUCKY CAVES l. HAVEOLD MUMMIES
Relics of Ancient Times Have Been Found There
By Tho Associated Pres..

By The Associated Press.
 Louisville, Feb. 6.-Disclosure of the fact that on a previous explora- ton of the cave country in south western Kentucky, Floyd Collins, now entombed in Sand Cave, had found a human skull and bones of skeleton recalls the fact that num- mics were found in the caves more than one hundred years ago.
 Belief that q prehistoric race, an tedating the earliest known Indians on the northern American continent, has long been prevalent here, and has been strengthened from time to time by discovery of what seemed to be evidence of the fact.
 Perhaps the most remarkable dis covcry was that of mummy of n female, with an extensive wardrobe placed before her.
 Old records here show that highly scientific gentleman of New York" one of the earliest visitors to tho cave in 1913 saw relic of an- cient times which he noted In de- tail at the time.
 In digging salt petre earth, work men dislodged flat rock about four feet wide and as many long, his "publshed narrative" is quoted as saying, disclosing a square excara- ton about three feet deep and as many in length and width.
 Tn this small neither subterran- can chamber sat in solemn silence one of the human species, female with her wardrobe and ornaments placed at her side" the narrative said
 The body was in a state of per- 'cct preservation and sitting erect.
 The arms were folded up, and the
 nds were laid across the bosom;
 ound the body and next thereto
 gre wrapped two deer skins These "';ins appeared to have been dressed in some mode different from what is now practiced by any people of whom 1T have any knowledge. \ out side of these skins was large square sheet, which was either woven or knit. The fabric was the inner bark of tree, which I judge from ap- { pearances to be that of the linn tree. In its texture and appearance it re- scmbIcd the South Sea Island cloth or mating.
 "The color of the woman's hair was a dark red; the teeth were white and perfect,
 "The features of this ancient mem- Der of the human family much re- sembled those of tall handsome American woman. The forehead was 1 high and the head well formed"

 Hollywood, Cal. Feb. 6.--A small group of disciples, pinning their faith to a woman, whose head, they say, Is crowned with the halo of di- vine prophecy. lifted their eyes to the rising sun today and said:
 "The end of the world is at hand"
 Mrs Margaret l.. Rowen, Holly wood housewife. has told her fol- lowers that before midnight tonight the second coming of Christ will have become fact and those who believe in him and have lived up- rightly will have entered into their reward
 Her proof? She frankly says she has none.
 Faith is the keynote of her rev. elations, she declares.
 She points to Isaiah, Micah, Joel, prophets of Apostles of the Old Tes- lament and to Matthew, Mark and Luke. three of the 12 who followed Christ to earth 19 centuries ago, Those and others all uttered proph- cces that were fulfilled. she asserts, and on her shoulders their mantle has fallen, she confidently declares.
 Mrs. RoWen wears no flowing robes, she prefers a gingham bunga- low apron. She does not rant, nor deal in sounding phrases. On the contrary she calmly reitcrates in even, conversational tones her state ment that the end Of the world will .come today How, she does not at tempt to explain. for she adds she does not know herself. but it will come and being practical in her re- ligion as in her housekeeping she be- lieves in being prepared. She says she has no intention of climbing one of the Hollywood hills to await an opening the heavens or the passing of a chariot of fire. In stead she intends to remain in semi seclusion awaiting whatever the day and night may bring forth. Mrs. Bowen and her followers, who call themselves the "Reformed Adventists Church." have been re- pudiated by leaders of the Seventh 1 Day Adventist church here and in ! the east.

 Sparrine With Friend

Syracuse. N. r.. Feb. s.-official investigation of the circumstances surrounding the death of Stanton R. Stever, l9, of Waterford, Saratoga county. Syracuse university sopho- more, following Q knockout blow in q bout with Carl Harsen, in the uni- versity gymnasium, will be conduct ed today.
 Hansen one of the leading ath- letes at tho university. will be ques- toned by the district attorney and the coroner. The bout which re- suited in the collapse of Stever was an elimination contest in the welter- weight class to decide which would represent Syracuse university in q dual glove meet with United States naval academy al Annapolis Satur- day afternoon. The meet was inl- mediately cancelled.
 Stever when he went down, did not crash to the floor as in the case in knockouts, but went down slowly. A statement issued by physician  who attended the autopsy late last night stated that "an abscess at the base of the brain undoubtedly con- tributed largely toward Stever's death. There was no fracture of the skull whatever" The autopsy disclosed small area of hem- orrhagc on the surface of the brain, but this. 1t was stated. was not suf- ficient in itself to cause death. An abscess was found in one of the sinuses on the nose at the base of the brain.
 Hansen was taken into custody by the police last night and permitted to return to his quarters on Univer- sity Hill.
 ! Those who witnessed the bout stated it was friendly at all times and the crowd at the ringside show ed a general disposition to absolve Haosen from blame. They said Stever walked into the ring and

VALUE NOW REALIZED
Old Statue Now said to be Finest and Most Perfect in England Is Enclosed In Case for Safety.

Lincoln, Eng. Feb. 6,-For long regarded as of very little value, the statue of Queen Margaret on the side of the south porch of the cathedral here, has now been ac- claimed by an authority on archi- lecture as possibly the finest and most perfect example of medieval portrait sculpture left in Europe"
 Search is now being made for the name of the sculptor. After GOO years of exposure only the hands and the lower parts of the draper les are apprcciably damaged. A suS- gestion that the statue should be removed from its present exposed position and placed in specially prepared niche at the back of the altar screen in the Angel Choir has not been farorably received by the dean and chapter, but 1t has been enclosed in a wooden case to pre- vent further damage.
