COAL INDUSTRY
HAS BIG REVIVAL
Chief Roderick Makes Some
lateresting Statements Re
garding the Trade
Pennsylvania's total production of
coal in 1915 is given as 246,797.774
net tons by James E. Roderick, State
chief of mines, in his summary of the
coal industry issued to-day. The
anthracite production was less, but
the bituminous and coke productions
were greater than in the year before.
The official figures show the fol
lowing tonnages:
Anthracite. 1915. 89,377,706; 1914,
91.189.641
Bituminuous. 1915, 157,4 20.068:
1914. 145.854.530.
Coke. 1915, 22,012,949; 1914. 17.-
164.124.
In his summary Chief Roderick
says:
"The year opened with most tin
favorable conditions, but towards the
middle of the summer the bituminous
trade began to feel the effect of the
foreign orders for war munitions that
called Into activity nearly all available
plants in the eastern part of the
country. Any concern that was able
to manufacture powder, shells, guns
or other supplies needed by the for
eign countries, was placed in opera
tion and work was pushed with fever
ish activity. The demand for bitu
minuous coal to supply the needs of
Ihe plants engaged in this newly de
veloped trade became so urgent that
part of the output was diverted from
its usual channels, so urgent that
part of the output was diverted from
its usual channels, and as a result,
the anthracite trade was benefited by
the d.emand that arose for the smaller
sizes of coal. As the year progressed,
the industry became still more active
and the year terminated with both
regions producing very heavily and
with prices at abnormal figures.

Trust Service Talks—No 4
A TRUST company.is free from the personal
relations which always influence the indi
vidual executor. It is governed solely by business
considerations.
The individual executor through years of asso
ciation and friendship may inadvertently favor
certain beneficiaries of the estate at the expense
of others. '
A trust company is absolutely impartial and
safeguards the interests of all concerned in the
management and distribution of the estate.

Capital. $300,000 Surplus, 1300,000
SATURDAY EVENING,
"Higher prices for coal are ex-i
pected during the year 1916. They
are at least hoped for most ardently
by most of the bituminous operators
Who feel that an advance of from five
to twenty-five cents a ton Is absolute
ly necessary to keep them from loss.
The two principal arguments for a
higher price are. that all other articles
consumed or used in any way by the
public have advanced in price, and
the further reason that the profits on
bituminous coal have hitherto been i
entirely too small. The existence of
some of the operators, when the sell
ing pttce is so very little greater than 1
the cost of production, is very pre
carious. and it is the general opinion |
that a higher price must be received I
for the production of some of the less
firmly entrenched and less favorably
situated operators will be compelled
to relinquish the business. Another 1
element that enters into this question,
is the steady advance in the cost of
production, due to the deeper mines,
the longer hauls and the higher cost
ol' labor, all elements that affect mate
rially the total cost of producing
coal.
"The introduction and enforcement
of the Compensation Act of 1915 will'
no doubt place an additional burden
on the coal operators. The reporting
of accidents to the State authorities
with the utmost dispatch after their
occurrence will in some instances be
somewhat difficult and expensive, and
the fact that the insurance rates are
to be based on the risks of the indi- i
vidual mines, instead of being made
equal throughout the State, will make
necessary the installation of expensive
safety devices by most of the smaller
operators to bring their mines up to
the standard maintaied by the larger
operators, t
Labor troubles of the year were of
a minor character and confidence is
txpremd for a continuance of jteace
ful operation, although the renewal
of the wage scale in both regions
April 1 may prove an occasion for
disturbance. The bituminous miners
are having a prosperous period at
present and they are generally anxious
to continue without a break~in their
earning power. In the anthracite re
gion conditions are more uncertain
! and more apprehension exists as to
' the future."

provement program of Pennsylvania's
Capital City.
The Nsw York man was here as the
guest of the Engineers' Society ofj
Pennsylvania. The audience could i
have easily been larger.
Flowers For City
While Mr, L<athrop handed Harris
burg some flowers for the way in
which it has worked out its problems
in city planning, he pointed out some]
further steps which must be taken in
order to attain the ideal "city beauti- {
fnL" Here's his tribute:
Harrisburg had enough imagi
nation and courage to start in .a '
big. tine way. Tlie result is that
although in 1913. according to |
the United States census, the
average governmental cost lor all
cities above 30.000 population
per capita was $32.59, Harrisburg
only expended $19.18, or about J
sixty per cent, of the average; yet |
Harrisburg has much to show for
its expenditures—first, instarting
the big fundamental works of
sanitation: second, in the cultural
or decorative side of life.
Some I'roblcms
That there is much to be done,
however, to make possible the solu
tion of some of the grave traffic and
terminal problems was emphasized by
>lr. L&throp.
"1 shall pay Harrisburg the compli
ment of speaking not in a narrow
; local sense of city improvements."
said Mr. Lathrop, "for that would be
carrying coals to New Castle.
"1 shall regard this city," added the
I sveaker significantly, "as not only the
exemplar, but also the technical
schoolmaster of city planning pro
cedure. This is the seat of govern
ment and government must take ac
count of city planning.
"After having made an intensive
j study of more than 10 cities. I
'see two insistent needs in the State
■of Pennsylvania:
"First, a program of change in the
i laws and thp method of local applica-
I tion.
Traffic Needs
"Second, a basic study of our cities
as vast transportation devices.
"In common with other American
cities we need, excess condemnation,
area assessments for street and other
improvements, and declaration of
proper plans for the widening of
arterial highways which are now too
narrow."
Mr. Lathrop discussed at length the
move that has been i.n these direc
tions in other States and In foreign
cities.
"It is the practice in this State,
under the statute, either to assess cost
l of street improvements against the
(S*en. Marlranft

/%j-/ ever/- w/>ere.
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
general funds of the city, or to assess
them against abutting property. On
the principle of special assessments
for special benefits, many street and
other Improvements should be assess
ed against property not contiguous.
For The Property Owners
"Obviously," continued Mr. Lath
rop, "these residents desire a material
benefit to their properties, yet, under
the law, they will bear none of the ex
pense. The abutting property owners
will bear all or most of the cost, Should
not these residents pay a special
assessment for this special benefit?"
Director l-athrop touched interest
ingly on the wide street question.
"The city," said he, "is a transporta
tion device and the priciples of trans
portation should govern the lay-out.
Tt is a popular fallacy that all streets
should be wide. We might as well say
that all shoes should be large. The
shoe should fit the foot, the streets
should fit the use. In the quiet resi
dential districts the street should be
narrow, but the houses should be set
far back thus giving light and air
and lawns for the children. At the
same time this would involve less ex
penditure for construction and main
tenance of pavements.
Wide and Narrow Streets
"But." added Mr. impres
sively. "arterial highways should be
capacious, removing all obstacles in
order to permit the flow of traffic
economically."
"The street problem, together with
the general transportation problem is
the biggest issue before the American
people," continued the speaker im
pressively. "Properly handled it is
the proper sort of preparedness for
peace or war. In case of war eighty
per cent of our activities would be
industry, commerce and transporta
tion. And our transportation problem
is to-day a problem of terminals.
Obviously congestion and delay are
caused not by a lack of equipment hut
by failure to move the equipment. This
delay is caused by congested ter
minals.
Marysvillo and Knola
"There must be a separation of
through traffic from local traffic.
Wherever it is possible, through traffic
must be carried around our cities.
This principle is recognized by classi
fication yards at Enola and Marys
ville and by the New York Central
Railroad near Syracuse. The Penn
sylvania applies this principle to
through traffic between Washington
and New York. The question of
transportation applied within and
without the city is the biggest prob
lem of city planning.
Mr. I,athrop, in conclusion boosted
the city's general improvement pro
gram including the scheme for the
construction of a subway at State
street, its parks and playground work.
"We recognize them all as social, in
dustrial and cultural necessities,"
i said he.

Mona, as a matter of fact, had anti
cipated the possibility that Reynolda
would propose aome auch arrange
ment. With that In mind she had
warned Mary that slie might not re
turn. and had madt arrangements for
keeping In touch with her chum. Sha
was well content. She waa by no
meani insensible to the rlak ahe waa
running, to the falae position In which
ahe had deliberately placed herielr
But she was confident, too, of her
ability to cope with Reynolda. Sha
knew, from the way he looked at her.
that she had a power over him, and
she meant to use It to the fullest poa
alble extent.
That night. Indeed, after ahe had
once gone to her own room and as
sured herself that she could lock her
/•elf in. she deliberately ventured Into
the lion's den, metaphorically speak
ing. She went down to the office,
which Reynolds also used as a library.
He was sitting there, alone—the serv
ants had all retired. At the sight of
her he started up. plainly pleased, but
Mona drew back in confusion.
•'I—I took the liberty of coming
down to borrow a. book," she eaid. "I
like to read myself to sleep."
"Help yourself, my dear," he said.
"Tou —- he chuckled, meaningly, and
leered at her—"you're welcome to mora
than a book from me!"
She went to the shelves, and, after
•he had selected a novel, made for the
door.
"Sit down," he said. "Sit down and
talk to me a little. You're bonny com
pany for an old fellow like me. But
■—l'm not too old, am I?"
"Oh. no," she said. "X mustn't stay.
Remember I'm only your housekeeper,
Mr. Reynolds."
He cackled at that, and she started
as she saV him go to his safe and open
It But, though she tried, she couldn't
make out the combination—he WM
ahrewd enough to prevent that. When
he turred back he held out a necklace
to her, a sting of sparkling brilliants.
"Look at the pretties!" he said.
Mona took the necklace and looked
at it admiringly.
"It's beautiful." she said. "I envy
you that. I believe!"
"Ha-ha!" he chuckled. "Try It on,
my dear! Who knows? If you and I
get along you might wear It for your
own!"
Mona pretended not to understand,
and returned it to him.
"Now I must go to bed." she said.
"Good night, Mr. Reynolds!"
"So soon," he said, wistfully. Tvt
got mors Jewels to show you."
"More?" she said. "I should think
you'd be afraid of thieves!"
"I'm guarded against them," he aald,
shrewdly. "Look—l'll show you!"
And In the next few momenta,
thanks to his vanity. Mona was able
to make a mental chart of the whole
burglar alarm system that protected
the place. She had hoped for this,
rather than expected It. And then she
went to her room. But In a few min
utes there came a tapping at her door.
"It's me!" said her employer's
cracked voice. "la everything all
right?"
"Quite, thanka." said Mona. with an
affectation of sleepiness In her voice.
He turned sway at that and went to
his own room, disappointment plainly
written on hie face.
Mona slept little. But ahe was up,
bright and fresh, in the morning. Sha
was n"t afraid of Reynolds by day.
As she suspected, he had plenty ~tr
keep him occupied, so that while hi
might think of her, he would not have
the time to puraue her with his horri
ble aftentlons. His "clients," peopla of
all sorts and cotinUiwns. since all ap
peared to be grist that came to his evil
mill, began to arrive aoon after break
fast, and came all day long. In a steady
stream. It was easy to understand
that his business was a profitable one.
Mona meanwhile, had affairs of her
own that demanded her attention. The
first was a meeting with Mary—previ
ously arranged for, and held at a near
by roadhouse.
"Everything looks fine, ray dear,"*
amid Mona. "But you've got to ftnd a
real burglar for me—some one who
can crack a safe! I can't do that—
and it's the ssfe that contains what
we're after. Do you think you can?"
"I can try," said Mary. "I know
aome awfully disreputable people, yoa
know."
"Well. It's vital to mv plan to hav*
a dependable safe cracker. I'll leav*
that to you. As usual, the really hard
work is for you to do."
Mary did, as she had told Mona,
know a lot of more or less shady peo
ple. And on the night of her talk with
Mona she went to a place she had not
visited for a long time—a place that
had threatened, once, to entrap her,
and dray her down. It wai a luxur«
lous resort of those who smoke opium
—a place where the drug Is surrounded
with all the glamour and false ro
mance that constitutes its chief appeal
to many who are forming Its acquaint
ance for the first time.
This place was not in Chinatown,
but In the heart of one of the best
districts of the city. The house was
luxuriously appointed and furnished.
There was a great room where. If they
so desired, the patrons might take
their ease on soft couches. If they
preferred, however, small rtVims wer«
at their disposal, where they might
have privacy. Many customers cam*
to this resort because they knew that
they need be seen by none of their f*l>
low smokers.

the: working session been set aside te
honor a living member.
One of the original Progressives,
Representative Cooper, of Wisconsin,
presided during the greater part of
the ceremonies. Speaker Clark, in a
humorous and friendly speech, termed
Mr. Cannon one of the "top-notcher
class of mental pugilists." He also
wrote into the record lor posterity the
statement that during debate with iiis
own eyes he saw Mr. Cannon perform
the unusual feat of describing a com
plete circle on one heel.
Straight and Ruddy-Checked
Still carrying himself as straight as
an Indian and as ruddy-cheeked as » t
schoolgirl, Mr. Cannon marched down
I the center aisle of the House and de
livered an address of appreciation
filled with reminiscences of other days.
It brought back the shadows of Blain,
Randall, Ben Butler, George F. Hoar,
"Sunset" Cox, "Pig Iron" Kelly and
a score of other contemporaries of
Mr. Cannon to the halls where once
they served. Mr. Cannon was quick to
| observe the nonpartisan character of
! the occasion and his opening words
I were in appreciation of it.
"This is a sample of tlie partisan
ship of the House," he said. "I tan
say with the psalmist, 'The lines have
I fallen unto nie in pleasant places,' and
| as 1 look into the faces of friends on
| both sides of the house 1 am more in
clined to accept the plain evidence of

fiction which divides this body into

out personal relations and the co
