DR. DIXON'S SYSTEM
WINS HIGH PISE
Rhode Island Medical Man Com
mends Pennsylvania's De
partment of Health
Dr. C. V. Chapin, health officer of
the city of Providence, R. 1., desig
nated by the American Medical Asso
ciation to examine the health depart
ments of the various States and the
bureaus of health in the principal
cities of the country, to-day com
pleted a study of the Pennsylvania
Department of Health. The Pennsvl-i
vania Department was the first to be
Visited.
Dr. Chapin stated that he was im
pressed with Dr. Dixon's system for
the department, and how its divisions
were interwoven, yet without any
"lost motion." He highly compli
mented the department and the State
laws upon which it was founded, and
commented upon tho readiness for
emergency -work which has been
demonstrated in the relief work at
Austin and in handling numerous
outbreaks of disease. The Pennsyl
vania department was especially in
spected for its system, economy and
efficiency of administration.
The department was commended as
a model and will be exhaustively re- i
viewed, especially on its idea of cen-l
trallzation of authority and the per- 1
fection of the system worked out by'
Commissioner Dixon.

children fainting in schools, sick from 1
lack of food.
The investigator of the department 1
of the interior, who wired the govern- !
ment this morning regarding the num> |
her of survivors from the island of j
Sakura. reports that he saw pumice;
frtones three and five feet in diameter
that had been vomited from the;
bowels of the earth. Lava mounds j
are forty feet high.
iMeinbers of a party rescued from a
cave recounted how they saved them- j
selves from being roasted alive by !
holding thick boards on their heads, j
Japanese umbrellas having shriveled
a few minutes after their frightful i
flight began. They were in the cave j
foT three days and expected death j
every minute of the time. They had j
no food, but found some drinking j
■water.
Professor Omori, the Japanese seis
mologist, who arrived here yesterday,
circled the island of Sakura to-day
and found a pronounced physical
change. Huge molten rocks formed a
range Into the sea, practically block
ing the bay across to Osumi. Many
new hills have sprung into existence.
The professor saw a woman on the
shore, but when he spoke to her she
lied wildly into the interior. She was
undoubtedly insane.
The new craters formed on Sakura
.Tima are still pouring volumes of
smoke in the direction of Osumi. Fif
teen hundred of the 2,000 houses in
(he island were buried. The estimated
damage on this account is 10,000,000
yen ($5,000,000). How to deal with
the islanders is a great problem, the
professor says, but evidently they must
migrate.
Professor Omori thinks the entire
volcanic range of Kiushiu has entered
upon a period of activity that recurs
every sixty years and that eruptions
may be expected at any time, es
pecially from the volcano Unzen, eight
miles from Obiuma, in the prefecture
of Nakasaki. The geologist Okada is
of the opinion that Sakura-Jima will
continue in eruption for a month.
Bluejackets from the Japanese fleet
to-day discovered a native craft con
taining sixteen refugees from Sakura
who were in a starving condition.
They reported that owing to the float
ing masses of pumice stone and the
high seas they had been unable to
steer their boat and had spent three
days adrift at the mercy ol' the ele
ments and without food. The blue-
Jackets were aide to reach thenmnly
by using a wedge-shaped raft, with
which they pierced a field Of pumice
stone resembling ice floes. .
Lava to-day was flowing steadily
down the sides of the volcano to the
sea, increasing the area of the island
as it solidified on reaching the water.
It is still impossible to give any
thing like an approximate estimate of
the number of victims of the recent
eruptions, earthquakes and tidal
waves. Some oflicials here express
the hope that almost all escaped from
Sikura. Others are less optimistic.
. Professor Fusakichi Omori, the seis
mologist, pointed to-day to the village
of Yokohama, on Sakura. where 400
houses lie buried in lava, and said:
"Are the people burled there as In
Pompeii?" and answered himself,
"Only the future can reply."
Huerta Will Fight
Rebels by Wireless
Berlin, Jan 17.—A German wireless
telegraph company to-day secured a
contract for the erection of a wireless
station in Mexico City to enable Pro
visional President Huerta to maintain
communication with the columns of
federal troops operating against the
•ebels in various parts of the country.
3eneral Huerta finds it necessary to
jse wireless telegraph as the ordinary
:elegraph wires are so frequently out.
The new station in the federal capi
;al is to have only half the sending
•ange usually provided for and this is
aken as an indication that General
-Iperta is preparing for fighting in the
neighborhood of the federal capital.
IT'S not always a question of
cost. For example—why do
so many travelers ride in
parlor cars when all the cars
are bound for the same place?
The pleasure of the individual chair is the
primary thing—the higher cost is second
ary.
For the same reason more and more
smokers prefer the extra quality of
MO J A lOc CIGARS
I to a dime's worth of nickel smokes.

Thrilling Rescue of
Crew of Mayflower

wireless accounts of the rescue 200
miles east of Cape Race early yester
day by the crew of the steamship Lusi
tania, of Captain Halfyard and seven
men of the New Foundland brigantine
Mayflower were received here to-day.
Captain D. Dow, of the Lusltania,
saw the schooner danger signal a
flaring torch—and the sudden stopping
of the engines which change ths
ship's course, brought almost every
passenger on deck.
The men who had been clinging to
the rigging jumped overboard one by
one. They were hauled Into life
boats. Captain Halfyard was the last
to quit his vessel.
Captain Halfyard said lie had sailed
in the Mayflower from St. Johns on
September 17 for Bahia, Brazil, and
arrived November 15. The trip back
had been one lojig struggle with gales
and head seas. Three days before the
rescue he had lost Ills rudder, his sails
had been carried away and the May
flower sprang a leak.

COIL PRODUCTION
BRERKS RECORDS
Roderick's Estimates Show Tre
mendous Output on Both of
the Kg Fields
MIGHT HAVE BEEN GREATER
Strikes and Car Shortage Held
Down the Output in the Bi
tuminous Region
Official estimates made by James E.
Roderick, State chief of mines, place
the production of coal in Pennsylvania
during the year 1913, just closed, at
the highest ever known. The output
totalled 258,000,000 tons, of which
168,000,000 tons were bituminous coal
and 90,000,000 anthracite. The pro
duction for the preceding year was
100,830,492 tons of bituminous and
84,426.869 of anthracite. The value
of the year's production at the mine
exceeded $400,000,000 and probably
commanded $800,0000,000 at distribu
tion. The output for 1912 had held
the record. The chief says that the
reports of his inspectors are optimis
tic as to the prospects for 1914, but
he intimates lhat if there is a continu
ance of the unsettled industrial condi
tions there may be a decline in the
production of coal.
The production of coal by districts
is estimated by Mr. Roderick as fol
lows:

The twentieth anthracite Is the "Ly
kens Valley district.
On the subject of fatalities the esti
mates are 526 in the bituminous and
615 in the anthracite, the disaster in
the Cincinnati mine which cost ninety
lives and the explosion in the Brook
side mine which killed twenty, being
responsible for the increase over 1912,
when there were 446 in the bitumin
ous and 486 in the hard coal field.
The number of employes Is given as
180,000 in the anthracite field and
185,000 in the bituminous. There were
brief strikes in thirteen districts in
the anthracite field and in eleven of
the soft coal districts. It is estimated
that the labor troubles and the car
shortage, which occurred occasional
ly, reduced the output by fully half a
million tons.
It is stated that the optrators are
showing a general desire to look after
safety and welfare. Hundreds of first
aid and many rescue corps have been
organized within a year.
Many Contracts Signed
For Partin-Palmer Cars
S. H. Daddow, who has been look- i
ing after the interests of the Partin-
Palmer car at the Philadelphia show
during this week, reports remarkable
progress in signing up agents. At the.
New York show over 200 contracts
were signed up with agents through
out the United States in the six days
of the show, while at the Philadelphia
show Mr. Daddow has been busy re
ceiving applications for agents in dif
ferent parts of his territory, which
comprises the greatest part of North
eastern Pennsylvania.
A large number of people have been
greatly pleased with the showing
made by the Partin-Palmer car, both
as to its wonderful amount of power
as well as its excellent appearance for
the small price that is charge for this
car, which is undoubtedly one of the
coming cars of the season.
Around Pottsville, which everyone
knows is very hilly, the machine has
been giving excellent service and its
ability as a hill climber is conceded by
the agents of cars having a much
higher horsepower rating. The con
venient arrangement of the seats,
whereby the car is available for six
people as well as four, makes it addi
tionally desirable, while the motor
runs very quietly, thus showing its
well-built qualities.

Note this prediction by "The Automobile," one of the
leading Motoring journals.
"In these days of innovations nd quick transitions
it is questionable if the two-speed axle, now that it has
been announced by the Cadillac company, will not be
taken up with avidity; true it will not come with a
landslide like the self-starter, but in the form of a sure
and.certain movement."
The nearest approach to the sensation of floating
through space is experienced when riding in a Cadillac, with
the new two-speed rear axle.
