Market for Coal
From River Beds

Harrisburg, Oct. 21-(AP)-Hard
coal sucked from the beds of three
rivers. much of it washed out as fine
as sand by method similar to the
principle of panning gold, is in great
er demand as the result of the strike
Of anthracite coal miners.
The miners" working the Susoue-
hanna, Lehigh and Schuylkill rivers
annually take approximately a half
million tons of hard coal from their
beds-coal picked up by these rivers
as they traverse the anthracite coal
regions. The industry is the out
growth of carless mining methods OF
early days.
When coal was plentiful and easily
obtained little effort was made by
operators to save the small sizes or to
utilize any that was swept into the
culm banks. These banks piled up
along the streams in the vicinity of
the collieries and washeries, until
thousands of tons accumulated Much
OF this waste went into the streams
and huge quantities of coal of good
quality but email in size were washed
down by the spring freshets.
When the discovery was made that
this coal was of value efforts were
started 10 recover 1T. The methods
most employed consist of the use of
suction pumps by which the coal is
drawn from the river beds upon fiat
scows. The sand is washed out and
the resulting product is a good grade
of hard COAL much of it as fine as
sand.
Its use requires special blower at
tachmens upon boilers but many resi-
dents of the region where the bulk of
the river coal is recovered have found
the installation of the apparatus an
economy and use it in their homes.
Public utility plants make up the
largest consumers. During the last
few years the quantity of river coal
recovered has decreased as a result
of better mining methods and in
creased utilization of the small sizes.
The river coal miner" Is not a
miner in the general sense of the
word He has no affiliation with the
hard coal industry itself. Each year.
however, these workers dredge out
coal valued at more than $500 900.
Shipments by dredgers along the
Susquehanna river were reported as
heavier during Septem-
Der than usual. although the season
had not been more than ordinarily
successful.

Philippine Soldiers
Make Good Appearance
In Own Uniforms

Manila, Sept. 1s.-(AP)-By pur-
chasing their own uniforms rather
than wear "the cheap shoddy clothing
issued here" Major General Eli A.
Helmick. inspector general of the
United States Army, said the enlisted
men of this department made good
appearance during his inspection.
General Helmicl1 described the shod-
dy issue as an oversupply Of World
War times, which he said were unfit
for any use except as work, fatigue
or field clothing.
ut illustrates the fine spirit of the
enlisted personnel. both native and
American. that they have willingly
gone into their pockets and paid for
the material and making Of good uni
FORMS" said the General. II hope that
they will not longer have to do this
and I shall do everything In my
rover to remove this hardship"
General Helmick commended the
Philippine soldiers of the Philippine
Scouts. In the Generals opinion, the
Philippine soldier easily submits to
discipline and when properly trained
and led would always acquit himself
well in the field.

Boxer Knocked
From Ring Will Lose
If Assisted Back

New York, Oct o0.-(AP)-Jack
Dempsey would have lost his heavy
weight boxing title at the Polo
Grounds two years ago to Luis Angel
Firpo had a ruling made public today
by the New York athletic commission
been in effect.
Referees of the metropolitan district
called before the commission were told
that hereafter if boxer is knocked
through the ropes and is assisted back
into the ring by those at the ringside,
he will lose the decision.
IF there is any fear in your souls
you are not the men to be boxing rel
erees," Commissioner William Muldoon
said. ''Wen a man is knocked through
the ropes those upon whom he tails
may move in any manner designed to
avoid his weight, but if he is assisted
back into the ring in any manner
whatsoever he shall lose the decision"
Dempsey and Firpo met at the Polo
Grounds on September IA. 1928, and In
the midst of a series of knockdowns
that made ring history, the Argentine's
wild right caught the champion flush
on the jaw and sent him spinning back
wards through the hemp to the laps
of newspapermen. Dempsey was
pushed back into the arena and, al
though dazed, fought off his oppo-
nent's rushes and conquered him with
a knockout in the next round.
A rule regarding knockdowns has
been f1outed of late and referees were
told to withhold count over a fallen
man until the opponent had retired to
a neutral corner.
1t was also made plain that the
"booing" Of crowds will not be allowed
to interfere with the program. One
attempt at announcement will be made,
after which the fighters will be called
to the center of the ring for instruc-
tions and the battle will be started.
Hitherto cards have been delayed for
several minutes while announcers en-
deavored to make themselves heard.
