LuAOpC.
World production of coal in 1925
and 1926, according to the bulletin,
ran only slightly above pre-war. In
1925 it was 1861, 100000 tons and in
1926, 1856, 100000 tons, compared
with 1,342,OO0,O0O tons in 1918. But
changes in production and export cen
ters, and especially in consuming
areas, are noteworthy.
Production Decline.
The British share Of world produc-
ton has declined from ola per cent
in 1913 to Is per cent in 1925. The
1926 figures are not comparable be-
cause of the effect Of the 7-month
coal strike The United States pro-
duced 3S.5 per cent in 1918, SO per
cent in 1925 and 44.4 per cent in 1926.
Germany, France, Poland, Japan and
China are also among the countries
with a slightly greater per cent of
world coal production in 1926 than in
1913.
The coal trade has been important
to England not only in itself but be-
cause it provided outgoing cargo max

Party; Voroshilov, of the Red Army;
Karakhan, Litvinov, Rosengolz, Ara
low of the foreign office; Melnichan-
sky of the trade unions; Ganetsko of
the Commissariat of Foreign Trade,
and others. They carry the casket of
their dead comrade on their shoulders,
leading the way along the platform
and thru the station to the gun car
riage in the Square beyond waiting
to receive it.
Another Red Army band takes up the
Funeral March and the procession be-
gins to move toward the Toverskaya.
In the lead are eight Red Army cav
alrymen of jet black horses. Then
come the bearers of the wreaths,
stretching out for more than block.
Next six restless horses find little
difficulty in pulling the gun carriage
upon which rests the casket. Imme-
diately behind the gun carriage walk
the mother and widow with other re-
latives of the murdered Voikoff. Next
come the comrades of Voikov from
every activity of the Soviet Power.
We look back at the station and
over its entrance there is huge ban
ner carrying the declaration:
Close the Ranks.
CLOSE RANKS IN DEFENSE
OF THE PROLETARIAN DICTA-
TORSHIP."
AS the head of the procession leaves
the station the worker delegations fall
in line with their banners. The miles
along the entire length of the Tower
skaya become living masses of hu-
nanity quietly looking on as the 81
lent funeral procession passes.
Mourning flags everywhere. Even the
proud banner, blood red, that waves
from the flag staff of the First
House Of the Moscow@Soviets has its
black border today. So we reach the
Red Square before The Lenin Mauso-
leum. The whole square is already
filled with workers and soldiers.
There the casket is placed'on huge
red draped dais that in turn rests on
a platform, on which an Honor Guard
of workers, men and women, now take
their places, changing frequently. The
huge red banner, with its hammer and
sickle emblem, that flies over the
Kremlin Tower, alone has no border
of mourning.
Speakers Pay Last Tribute.
/ We mount the Tribune of The Mausol-
cum. There are RylsoY, KaTinin, Bulk
harm, Molotov, Voroshilov, Ordjoni-
kidze, Litvinov, Melnichansky, Ko-
TOW and others. Rykov speaks first
for the Soviet government. AS he fin
! ishes the Red Army band takes up a
defiant strain from "The Interna-
tional." Then Bukharin speaks for
the All-Union Communist Party.
Stain is not here. He is i'll and can
not attend. Then speak as the rep
resentative of the Communist Inter
national. Then Litvinov from the for
eign office. Melnichansky for the
trade unions and Volkoff for the Mos
cow Soviet. AS the last address is
finished all the Red Army bands join
wreaths of field flowers woven by the
hands of workers and peasants"

Until Tuesday.


CHICAGO, March 12.-Joseph Mar
sine, the Chicago barber, who turned
banker with disastrous results, yester-
day was ordered returned to the Fed
eral Penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga, by
Federal Judge Adam c. Cliffe, who,
however, granted a stay until next

ceeding against him. Marsino has
been resisting return to Atlanta,
claiming he should be freed because
of time off for good behavior, and
also asserting that he will be kid
naped" and returned to Massachusetts,
to finish his sentence in connection
with the Warren Bank affairs.
Al warrant was served on him here

EXCITED SPECTATORS
 BIG STRAIN ON STANDS
Exert Much More Force Than Does Calm and Orderly Crowd Of
 People.

Epsom, England, April LP-Ex- cited spectators and "stretchers" at baseball games and horse races weigh q great deal more than per sons who are nonchalant and sit still. In the building Of grandstands, such as the one just completed here for the opening of the spring racing meet April 19. this fact has to be taken into consideration by the ar chitects. The Epson stand and similar structures are designed to bear not only the approximate weight of the spectators they will comfortably accommodate. but also the weight Of their excitement, which at times more than doubles.
 It has been calculated by British architects that f srandstand is designed 10 hold a crowd expected 10 weigh, normally 300 tons, fourda- tion and supports must be provided which will stand the weight Of al least 1000 tons.
 They explain this by the fact that when people are excited they weigh considerably more than when I.t- ting still. A croucling person adds GO to G5 per cent to his weight in strengthening himself up, and 10 rise from q sitting position adds nearly so per cent to his weight, By rising with a sudden jerk. as baseball and football fans are apt to do at ax- citing moments, f has been estimat- cd that it is possible 10 add momen- tarily more than l50 per cent to ones Wcight.
