BUCKLEY AND HIS
 FRIENDS IN WATER
Judge Himself Washed OVer-
 board-Kelly Also Soaked

Bridgeport, Aug. 13 R-A sail ing trip with story was the lot of Deputy Judge William J. Buckley of the city court, executive secretary Edward L. Kelly. Attorney Thomas s. Finn apA William A. Smith late yesterday. They had an experience which might have fared badly, but in the end they reached home with whole skins and not much affected by their ordeal.
 The party left here in Judge Buckley's 30 foot racing sail boat and were caught in the squall late yesterday when between Duck Is- land and the Branford shore.
 In the rough water Judge Buck ley was washed overheard. Mir. Finn dove in and got him and plac- ed Buckley on board. MT. Kelly started ashore in the tender and when about 50 feet from the waters edge the little craft over turned and Mir. Kelly had a struggle to get to the shore.
 The plight of the men on the yacht was seen from ashore and man whose name was not known, with his son, came out in motor boat and took the yacht in tow and landed it safely at the Stratford Yacht club wharf. He then re- turned.
 Today the yachtsmen were none the worse for their experience.

up in anticipation of possible strike on April 1. 1924, had not belI fully absorbed.
 The point was also made that when stocks of coal on different dates are compared, allowance must be made for changes in the rate of consumption. In the first quarter of 1926 bituminous coal was in demand to make good the deficit in house. hold fuel caused by the anthracite strike and the rate of consumption was abnormally high. At that rate the stock of 45.00O,00O tons was sufficient to last 26 days.
 At the lower rate of consumption prevailing in May and June the stocks on July 1 were sufficient, ac- cording to today's announcement, to last thirty-four days. Besides the 39,000,000 tons on consumers hands on July there were at least 174,- 900 tons of bituminous coal in pro- ducers storage at the mines or at intermediate points enroute to mar ket and 8SS,000 tons loaded in cars but unbilled at the mines.
 Localities remote from the mines carried much heavier stocks than those close to the mines or to in- termediate reservoirs such as the upper Lake docks. This is we'll H. lustrated by the reports from the general industrial plants, other than steel works and coke ovens.
 They are the largest single group of coal users, both as to number and tonnage consumed and being widely scattered over the country, their stores are a sensitive index of conditions in the coal market. On July l industries on the upper pe- ninsula of Michigan had a reserve sufficient for more than 90 days. For New England, a region of heavy reserves, the average was 70 days.
 In lower Michigan and Wisconsin, iu New York and New Jersey. in the South Atlantic states and in the states of the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Coast, the average ranged from 30 to so days. In Pennsylya- mia, West Virginia and most of the states of the Mississippi Valley, the average was less than 30 days.

Wheat Crop So Good
 Hail Did Not Hurt

Meade, Kan, Aug. Is p-lhe wheat crop in Meade county was so good this year that hail storms could not destroy it.
 Wheat on the large Cummins farm was pronounced a total loss after hail stones as large as golf ball had battered to the ground every head of grain several weeks before harvest Unusual prolonged rainy weather kept the field green. New stalks sprang from the roots. Finally Cummins obtained yield of twenty-five bushels an acre.
 Another farmer, who had collect ed hail insurance, harvested thirty five bushels from every acre. The insurance company, having admitted it's loss, found no recourse to con- pei the farmer to return his insur. ance money.

A|RWAY APPROVED
 THROUGH ID WEST
President Gives Official Endorse.
 ment Of Plan

Paul Smiths N. Y, Aug. 1S Rt- A transcontinental and southwestern airway were approved today by President Coolidge as the first two commercial routes to be laid down by the department of commerce in it's development of civilian aviation.
 The transcontinental route, as ap- proved in conference with Secretary Hoover of the department of com merce, will run from New York to Cleveland, Chicago, Iowa City. Des Moines, Omaha, North Platte, Chey- enne and Salt Lake City from where there will be one leg to San Fran cisco and another to Los Angeles.
 The southwestern route will run from Chicago to Dallas and Fort Worth, by way of Moline, St. Jo- seph, Kansas City, Dichita, Okla homa City and Tulsa.
 The routes will represent exten- sions or consultations of present lines and will mark the actual be- ginning of a nationwide system which in the opinion of Mir Hoover. will develop into privately operat- ed air service on a large scale.
 It appears probable, Mir. Hoover added, express and mail service on the routes approved today.
 The general service to be devel- oped under William P. MacCracken, Jr., the new assistant secretary of civilian aviation, he emphasized, will be of first importance in building up an air reserve for the national de- fense.

KELLOGG SILENT
 ON KACEYS' PLEA
No Statement Issued on Mexican
 Church Stand

Washington. Aug. 1S Pl-The pe- tition of the Knights of Columbus for diplomatic intervention in the Mexican religious controversy was received today by Secretary Kellogg, who said afterward that he had nothing to say"
 Ranking officials of the order re- mained in conference with the sec retary for long time, but they likewise refused to comment when they emerged.
 Mir. Kellogg probably will talk over the whole Mexican problem with President Coolidge at White Pine camp before there is any pro- nouncement of policy.
 Conditions in the southern repub- lic-the oil land dispute, the reli- gious crisis and the latest impris- onment of an American citizen with out hearing on an unspecified charge occupied the attention of the sec retary as he prepared to leave to- morrow for White Pine camp to discuss foreign relations with Pres ident Coolidge.
 Flaherty bore to the department for the consideration of the secre- tary resolution adopted at the recent Philadelphia convention of the Knights, asking that the L. s. intervene to protect Catholic churchmen in their argument with President Gales.
 Sharing interest with his visit was the report Of Ambassador Shelf field that he had interceded with the Mexican foreign office on behalf of J. H. Grande, Los Angeles fruit dealer, who has been held since his arrest week ago. The ambassador called to the attention of the Mex ican authorities that this was a violation of the Mexican constitu- ton.
 The secretary receives Mir. Fla herty at the instance of the presi- dent. who had referred the petition for government intervention to the state department. To supplement any report he may make to the president on the knights appeal, Mir. Kellogg will have the nature and substance of the hundreds of other communications he has re- ceived on the subject since the re- ligious crisis developed.
 Tn addition to the Mexican situation, the secretary probably will take up with President Cool idge the reports made by the re- turning American delegates to the preliminary arms conference at Geneva.
 Secretary Kellogg plans to re- main at White Pine camp until next Wednesday when he is to make an address at Plattsburg, N. Y. He is expected to return to the camp Thursday for further discus sions before he returns 10 Wash ington to meet Ambassador Shef field, who will reach the eve of Mir. Sheffield's return to Mexico from his last previous trip home. Mir. Kellogg issued statement as- serting that the Gales government was on trial before the world. This he prepared after White House conferences in which both secre- tary and the ambassador partici- pated and had somewhat the effect of a diplomatic bombshell in both countries.
 Mir. Flaherty was accompanied to the department by D. J. Calla- han, treasurer of the Knights of Columbus. They referred all ques- tions to Secretary Kellogg.

RAVINIA IS HOME
 OF GENUINE ART
This Little Illinois Town Is
 Unique in World

Ravinia, H., Aug. 1s-Bayreuth 1 Oberammergau, Ravinia!
 Fifteen years devotion to a high purpose las added to the other two this name of "the opera house in the woods" now a recognized world center of art.
 1 Here from every state in the un. ' ion and from foreign countries mu- | sic lovers gather. Here night after night throughout the summer, when musical activity elsewhere except in South America and Covent Garden, | London. is at a standstill, are pre- scented galaxy of the most widely known of the worlds singer-actors in major grand opera.
 I Daring" Institution
 It Is a daring institution. for sea- son after season it has dared to pre- sent ten weeks and three days of grand opera by artists chosen from the greatest winter opera houses. It has dared to make its home in a beautiful suburb and invite its pa irons to take a journey of more than twenty miles, from Chicago, to hear it's performances.
 Ravinia is an expression of the be- lief of Louis Eckstein, who made it possible. that "every man, regardless of ideas born of humdrum, has a thirst for finer and better things" For several years it was better known in Europe than in America. because its fame was carried there by the artists and patrons.
 Opera for Everyone
 Ravinia, Mir. Eckstein believes, may be compared with Bayreuth and to Oberammergau, but in the final analysis it stands alone as the exponent of musical education. Ii brings the best that is to be had in opera within the reach of all the people.
 Its setting is unique. IL is nestled away among glens of trees and flowers. a brief distance from the shore of Lake Michigan There is nothing artificial about it. Beauty of it's surroundings is adding yearly to it's popularity as vacation place, , where vacation and music may be had together.
 Otto H. Kahn of New York, chair i man of the board of directors of the i Metropolitan Opera company. who | made a special trip here for the | opening night this season. pointed to ! another of Ravinias extraordinary features. Its rare acoustic proper ties resulted from an act of nature, ! giving it a physical asset that could . not be duplicated even with the wealth of Croesus.
 Kahn Envics Natural Setting
 This opera house. Mir. Kahn said, lis like a fine old Stradivarius violin which nature has mellowed. We would give anything if we could build an opera house in New York with acoustics such as these, but it cannot be done. Here it Is that na- ture has been the architect"
 The Ravinia Opera house, built in ! 1905 for orchestral concerts, has wooden ceiling which is arched like the body of a viol and Is made or

COAL STOCKS ARE
 BACK ID NORMAL
Survey Shows Virtual Recovery
 From Strike

Washington, Aug. 12 GP)-Stocks of anthracite are rapidly recovering from the effects of the disastrous strike in the hard coal region last winter, and bituminous stocks in the hands of consumers are about nor nal for the midsummer season of the year, according to survey as of July l completed today by the bureau of mines of the department of commerce.
 The survey, made by the coal di- vision of the bureau, covered 5000 consumers in all parts of the coun- try, and as bituminous coal is rarely stored at the mines, the important element in the stocks is the quantity held by consumers. Commercial consumers and retail dealers had 39,000,000 net tons of bituminous coal on hand July l. This was B. 000,0 tons more than the stock of May l, indicating that during May and June production was greater than consumption and soft coal was flowing into storage.
 Stocks of anthracite have already largely recovered from the shortage caused by the fiye-minth strike. Since work was resumed in Febru- ary production of anthracite has been unusually heavy. The most significant element in the reserve of anthracite is the quantity fin retail dealers yards. Only July 1 repre- sentative retailers covered by the departments survey had stocks of hard coal sufficient to supply their customers for forty days at the rate of delivery to consumers prevail 1 ing during May and June.
 The tonnage Of anthracite in the | yards of these dealers was some | what less than at the corresponding time in 1924 and 1925, but on the | other hand, the tonnage of bitumin- ous coal held by these same deal- CTS was somewhat greater. The total quantity of all coal in retail | yards at present anthracite and <. bituminous combined = is quite | equal to that at corresponding per iods in other recent years.
 Comparisons With Other Years
 Present stocks Of bituminous coal | are just about equal to those on June l. 1925. when SS,000.0O0 tons vas in storage. Although less than he stocks at the same date in 1924 to 51.0Oo.0O0 tons. 1t was ,ointed out by the department that [ must be remembered that at that n4the extraordinary relerves built

 Thousands Saved Members
 Allison and Roberson went into the Seminole country to arrest Ross and Good on information that they had stolen more than 500 head of cattle belonging to association mem- bers. They were sitting in the lobby of small hotel at the county seat town when two men appeared. There was volley and the field inspec- tors fell dead.
 The association retains Dayton Moses as its permanent attorney to cattle thieves and slayers of it's inspectors. Through his ef- forts and those of the field and market inspectors, who know every one of the 5000 brands of its mem bers, thousands of dollars are saved the membership annually.

HUBBARD AS ATHLETE

(From The st. Paul Daily News)
During his three years of competi-
tion at Michigan, Dehart Hubbard,
sensational colored star, was one of
the most consistent winners the
Maize and Blue ever had.
Hubbard turned in countless stel-
lar performances. His specialties
were the running broad jump and
high hurdles. Later he quit the
barrier event for the hundred"
Most of his fame was gained as
a broad jumper, however. AS a
freshman he sprang into the lime
light through his leaping ability.
He cleared over "a feet indoors on
one of his first efforts as a collegian.
Outdoors he topped the 25-foot
figure.
For three years as a varsity per-
former, Hubbard endeavored to
smash the broad jump mark. He
cleared rs feet more times than any
other athlete in history. He met
defeat just once, Dowding of
