HEADING, l'a., Jan, 21
It was the creAtest dar In the history
of the Heading Hallway for tho shipment
of coal. Every loeomotho and every
crew was pressed Into service and Sat
urday nlcht TOO carload wero sent
through. Yesterday 1400 more were for
warded. This Is ft record unprece
dented when It Is stated that the recent
nt erase for twenty-four hours has been
1200.
Tho coal trains were given rlcht of
way over nil others except thoso loaded
H'lth rerlshablo foodstuffs and material
consigned to the Government. Tie-ups
wero prevented by consigning only 00
per cent capacity to each locomotive,
bouble-htaders hauled n largo quantity
of soft coal. Philadelphia and vicinity
will get mors than their full sharo of-!
the hard coal shipments.
The company was equally busy In
sjndlnir empty cars back to tho mines
urM ofllclals expect to havo tho best of
the situation by tomorrow.
rOTTSVILMJ. Pa.. Jan. 21. Super
intendent "V. II, Keffer was personally
In charge of the movement of coal trains
from tho yards of tho Philadelphia and
Heading Coal and Iron Company at St
Clair, and 00 cars, containing more
than 10,000 tons of coal, wero started to
Philadelphia between midnight and 5
o'clock last evening,
This was done notwithstanding the
temperature early this morning was
below sero and tho stiffness of rolling
stock mado all movements of trains
slow. On this account locomotives were
hauling much smaller trains. A "Long
John" locomotive was only required to
pull twenty-flvo cars and tho 1600 class
thirty-five cars. The 1700 class, the big-
sest typo of locomotives, pulled fifty
cars.
SIIAMOKIX, Pa Jan. 21. Anthra
cite shipments toward Philadelphia were
heavier than at nny tlmo since tho
coal congestion became ncftte. Every
available engine and trainman, Including
passenger ci ws, was in service and coal
was given preference over all other
transportation. Extra firemen were on
many of the engines to aid In keeping up
steam, and despite a temperaturo of
from 8 to 14 degrees below zero, coal
was moved with unbroken regularity.
Short trains and short hauls featured the
eoal-speedlng railroading of the day and
will bo continued today. Almost as
rapidly as the blockaded tracks were
opened moro cars wero brought In, and
full time for the collieries Is expected for
the week.
COXXKLLSVIMjE, Pa Jan. 21.
Coke production in the Connellsvllle
region will show an Increaso of 83 per
cent within the next few days as a
result of the national fuel administra
tor's live-day closing order, according
to heads of leading companies. Con
gestion on the local sidings of tho Haiti
more and Ohio Itallroad was relieved to
a marked degree yesterday, and the car
supply snowea pronounced improvement
Production of coke In this reelon for
the last two weeks has been less than i
50 per cent of normal as a result of I
a shortage In tho car sudiiIv ami In. i
ability to get loaded cars moved from
sidings.
IIAZDETOX, Pa.. Jan. 21. The Le
high Valley Railroad canceled all branch
passenger trains for today and will use
the locomotives and crews for the haul
nge of coal. Crews havo been brought
from Croxton to help out.
HAItniSnURa, Jan. 21. Tho Penn
sylvanla Railroad moved several thou
sand carloads of coal through the liar
rlsburg and the Enola yards, much of
the movement coming from tho con
gested tracks between here and Altoona.
The movement on both Pennsylvania
and Heading lines was heavier than for
several weeks on Sunday, but the com
panies would give out no figures.
SHi:.VAN'DOAII. Pa Jan. 21. There
was marked activity' here to hasten re
lief of tho coal famine. A 'number of
colllcr'es had car loaders and shippers
out loading and shipping all Coal cars
available, which aro coming slowly owing
to tho ncute congestion, while the differ
ent railroads had extra crews and power
at work rushing the coal to tho eastern
and western markets.
STATE'S BANKS WILL
'NOT BE CLOSED
HAURISBirrta, Jan. 21. Governor
nrumbaugh will do nothing toward clos
ing the banking Institutions of the State
on Mondays. Under the Garfield orders
the State governments have the right
to close the banks and1 trust companies
on the next ten Mondays, but In Penn
sylvania only the Legislature can desig
nate legal holidays.
The Governor recommended in his
statement on the fuel orders several
days ago that the freight embargo and
the movement of coal might be aided
by the bringing In of 16,000 soldiers
acquainted with railroading and now In
the southern cantonments. However, he
has no power over the soldiers in the
camps and railroad men generally ha.vo
criticized the suggestion adversely for
the reason that the movement of so
many men would tie up the railroads
mora than f.iey are now.
The Governor rays he may ask the
Judges of the counties to recommend to
the saloonkeepers that they close (heir
bars on the heatless Mondays, but so
far he has done nothing. He has no
power to close the saloons.
RAILROADS FIGHT ZERO
COLD TO RUSH TRAINS
NBW YOIIK, Jan. 21. Desplto
weather conditions even worse than
have prevailed for the last fortnight,
railroads in tho eastern territory are
battling valiantly to untangle the con
gestion which mado necessary the dras
tic fuel embargo. Reports received at
ine omca of A. II. Smith, assistant dl
lector general of railroads, told of the
desperate efforts being mado to move
trains.
The' severe cold has slowed up trafllo
and hampered unloading and clearing of
ma n lines, yards, tracks and terminals.
Wort: of takinir loaded coal barges to
steamships waiting for fuel here was.!
iow ana ainicult owing to ice jams,
stiffened by a, high wind and a tempera
ture of S degrees above zero. Fully
to per cent of the fleet of tugboats has
been laid up because of damage from
Ice. At the coal pockets frozen coal
again caused great delay In loading and
unloading.
For tho twenty-four hours ending at
a. m. Sunday it was announced that
Mf2 cars of anthracite and bituminous
coal had been dumped 'fct tidewater ter
minals, compared with 1464 the day
before. At tldwattr yards were JOlf

Temperatures of ftom 20 to SO de-1

Pennsylvania coal districts and 18 de
grees below In the Mohawk Valley. In
New England ,te thermometer registered
15 below at tho western connecting
points and 20 below alone the coast. '
At some mints the cold caused rails
to break and numerous minor accidents
to metal parts on engines and other
equipment. Switches wero filled with
solid Ice, which caused several derail
ments. .Squads pf men working In brief
shifts wero sent out to clear the
switches. Workmen were compelled to
lay off In increasing numbers, the re
ports stated, creating further shortage
of help.
As the fuel administration's embargo
gradually relieves the shortage In New
York and its suburbs, the city looked for
ward cheerfully to Its first "heatles
Monday." Clearer understanding of what
tho Government desires has brightened
the outlook and pattlotlc business men
last night were ready to observe tho
regulations.
A resolution calling for Btrlct com
pliance with tho order was passed at a
special meeting of the executive
committee of tho Retail Liquor Dealers'
Association. Co-operation of tho police
was asked to enforce tho order, which
affects about 10,000 saloons In tho city.
Every saloon proprietor was urged to
close at sunset today and if they
kept open during tho day they were di
rected to ure no heat or light.
The members of the Society of
Restaurateurs decided to serve no
liquor except with meals and the hotel
proprietors havo decided upon Elmllar
action.
PENNSYLVANIA YOUTH
FOUGHT TO THE DEATH
First Americans to Fall
France Refused to
Surrender
in
M-W YORK. Jan. 21 How the first
Americans were killed or captured by the
Germans is a story that haa not been
fully told. Two accounts of the fight
received at the headquarters of the Na
tional War Work Council of the Y. M. C.
A. throw considerable light on it.
A French boy who fought In an ad
joining section with tho Americans and
who helped to bury James T. Gresham.
of Kvansvllle, Ind. ; Merle Hay, of Gild
den, la., and Thomas F. Knrlght, of
Pittsburgh, sent a brief description of
the fight to his godmother, who gave It
to a V. M. C. A. worker ln France, Al
fred M. llrace, professor of Journalism
at the University of North Dakota. At
the same tlmo Chaunccy P. Ilulbert sent
a description of the return of the sur
vivors of tho fight to their quarters In
a Y. SI. C. A. hut back of the firing
line.
The French boy says In part:
"Wo aro now right In the midst of the
Americans, but I assure you wo were in
a quiet section until the moment the
Roches began to get cross and started
to attack the Americans to make them
prisoners, and at the samo time at
tacked us also.

the honor of burying the first Ameri
cans who have fallen In France. You

"I tell you they are very good soldiers,
They do not surrender easllv. Thev de
fended themselves to the death. We
found them with thatr throat.) flit I..,.
cause they would not be taken prisoners
In telling of the return of the sur
vivors and drawing n word-picture of
the village In which they are stationed,
Mr. Ilulbert, who was a visitor, says:
"The men from thlH vlllago had Just
returned from their training in the front
trenches. Reside the fifteen straw bil
lets thero had been fifteen others. Three
of their number had been killed and
twelve captured in a German raid.
"Tho men around the hut stove were
net disheartened. They quickly assumed
the sangfroid of the French and told
gruesome stories about having seen six
Germans pounce upon 'Rig Tom' and
slash his throat open.
"Theso men live In a little village with
a narrow main Btreet and rushing stream
from which horses are drinking, ducks
paddling and old women washing clothes.
Lined up on the low quay are an Amer
ican soldier shaving; another brushing
his teeth: a little girl dipping a pail: a
grandmother trying to capture an elusive
duck and three French women up to
their elbowea In soapsuds. Half-way
down the street is a large barn: the bar

Convinces Congress His

Armenian Describes Discovery on
Which Ho Has Obtained Special
Patent
WASHINGTON'. Jan. 21.
i Thero lias appeared ln Washing
! ton a man who lays claim to pos
l sesslng power to end tho war; to know
the secret that will make unnecessary
. tho cxpcndlturo of toll to produco en
' orgy; to revolutionize tho whole
world system of doln things; to im
part to society tho means by winch
tho now dense wildernesses may bo
mado habitable; by which tho need for
labor will bo cut in half and by which
mankind will bo delivered from nn
ago of work and care Into an era of
oaso ami nappincss. ins namo is
, (JarnbeU T. K. airagosslan.
I This man lias persuaded Congress
to shatter oil precedent by passing a
1 joint resolution granting him an abso
' luto and iron-bound patent on Ills
, discovery on ono condition that the
I Government of tho United States may
havo tho uso of it freo of nil charge
in tho event that n commission of
scientists, provided In tho meosuro,
1 makc-n a report that what Olragosslan
1 has discovered is of uso to society.
If what Mr. Ulragosslan says la
true, all tho discoveries and Invou
Uoiih of tho ages aro as nothing in
Vnluo to mankind when compared
with what can ho accomplished by the
machine called tho "anrabetl."
To bo concise, the "dat-abed." ac
cording to !' Inventor, is capable Of
producing and concentrating bound
less force with tho cxpedlturo of no
energy whatever, savo the woat and
tear upon tho machine. Coal In role
gated to tho realm of uselessness and
human labor Is to become to a largo
extent unnecessary.
The force which will bo concentrated
and driven by tho "qarabed," says its
discoverer, is greater than any forco
now known, and, for that reason, is ir
resistible by nny forco now employed.
Therefore, ho asserts, this war can be
won by tho United States in a shoit
tlmo by tlio uso oi tins as yoi unro
vcaled force to crush tho forces em
ployed by tho enemy.
"For Instance." to quote him. "lOO
'nlrrilnnpit of tremendous size nnd pro
portions, capable cf developing 10,000
or 20,000 or even 30,000 horsepower,
and able to remain in tiignt tnuen
nltcly to carry vast cargoes, could
easily defeat Gcrmuny ln a short
time."
At present tho machine Is dismantled
and tho parts aro hidden in a number
of different cities. Ho declares it can
bo assembled in twenty-four hours.
Girairosslan. whether or not lie is tha
deliverer of mankind, has tho quality
1 of boilevn(f in himself and tho powor
of compelling belief In himself by
others.
ltegarded as a fanatic by many Sen
ators and IteprescntntlvcB when ho
first appeared on Capitol Hill, Olragos
slan now possesses the .deepest respect
of tho very same men. They havo
been converted from skeptics and
cynics Into u group of hopeful believ
ers. President Wilson himself has found
tlmo to listen to Olragosslan. Tho
President is tho ono man to whom
Olragosslan has offered to confide his
secret. He offered to take Ills ma
chine to tlio White House, but the
President took the position that lie
would bo tlio only pcrkon ln tho world.
outstdo of Qlragossian, to Know tne
secret, nnd that if, by any . chance,
others learned it, he would seem to
havo proved unworthy of the confi
dence. It was a responsibility the
President' felt disinclined, to assume.
(AJTLINK OF INVENTION
In an Interview Olragosslan said:
"It Is a self-evident fact that motive
power or energy, the prime necessity ot
lite and progress, is a source wealth,

the onward march of science o the
ever-Increasing acquaintance with tn
hitherto unknown laws of nature nd
the mysteries of the universe w b

"A historical Chang will take. plc
when we produce energy by the Oar
bed. tho power of which Is unlimited.
Inexhaustible and Inexpensive, except
for the usual trifling expense of weiir
and tear of machinery. When It Is nald
without expense or tree energy.." not
Implied that power Is to lie prottea
from nothing. It is not the sO-callea
perpetual motion, nor Is It Bpontanevtt
movement.
"In order to form an Idea of the
Garabcd, wo have to Imagine n, work
ing engine, tho motive power ot which Is
not steam, but something else which;
can be obtained freely.
"The slzo of this motor and the quan
tity of energy to be produced by it are
dependent upon our will and enterprise.
It can be manufactured with less ex
pense and occupies less space nnd Is
very much lighter than the steam en
gine, with Its numerous appliances. It
Is portable and can be placed and put
Into operation wherever there exists a
spark of human life. Consequently, the
steam engine will become obsolete. The
future generation will see It only In
museum curiosity halls.
Tho Oarabed. being free from lol!er
nnd furnaces, there will be no mora ox
plostohs, no moro victims, no mors
smoke, no more danger ana no more
tollers to produce energy,
"In an area not larger than Boston
Common (forty-eight acres) sufficient
power can be produced under the new
system to supply tho wants of the whole
Industrial world.

and for washing the streets of cities,
"Tho fire and lights of cities and
farms, as well as the whole civilised
world, will be supplied by electricity
through freo energy. Coal stoves, oil
heaters, furnaces and fireplaces, gas
pipes, lamps and chandeliers will for
ever be expelled from houses. Smoke and
ashes will disappear from rooms and
chimneys will vanish from housetops.
"Tho enormous quantity of material
which we are today destroying br burn

humanity, and It Is most probable that
petroleum will supply the soap ot the
entire world.
"Freo energy will put cities, countries

wall wh.ch stands between them, as It
will bo ot great service in communica

eliminating the expense for motive
