High Price of Coke Due
Wholly to Car Shortage
' Pittsburgh, Oct. 27.- —-W. K. Field,
president of the Pittsburgh Coal Com
pany, declared to-day that $5 coal and
$8 coke was due almost entirely to the
car shortage. While there is a scarcity
of minors, he said, there are enough
to operate the mines of the Pittsburgh
district to 80 per cent, of their rated
capacity, but they are in reality op
erating less than 50 per cent, because
it is impossible to obtain cars. Ore
shippers, continued Mr. Field, send
iron ore into the Pittsburgh district in
hopper cars, and as soon as the ore is
unloaded the hopper openings are cov
ered with heavy planking and the cars
use to ship finished steel products in
stead of being sent to the Northwest
and West with coal. Coal mines never
have any incoming freight and have to
depend on the car supply as it is doled
out to them.
Other operators were qually em
phatic, saying they could take care of
almost double their present coal and
coke tonnase if they had the cars, and
consequently prices would not be so
high. Even at the prevailing prices
•\ ery little free coal and coke is avail
able, producers devoting their entire
energies to filling contracts taken at
about one-half the prices now quoted
in the open market.

FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 27. 1016.
I air craft, has been discarded officially
j by the National Advisory Committee
| l'or Aeronautics. In a report issued
to-day on 'nomenclature of aeronau
tics" the name airplane is substituted
for any "form of aircraft heavier than
air which has wing surfaces for sus
tentation, with stabilizing surfaces,
rudders, for steering and power plant
for propulsion through the air. The
landing gear may be suited for either
land or water use."
! An introduction to the report says
i it is issued to eliminate duplications
i and erroneous use of aerona.utical
] terms. Only new terms, peculiar to
I aeronautics, are defined in the ap
-1 pended list of 142 words and phrases.
J Examination of the preferred terms
i shown, indicates that an effort has
1 been made to eliminate also all
] foreign words which have come into
! use through the developments of air-
I craft. Most of these are French. Very
I few such words have been retained,
I however, even such terms as vol
i plane being discarded in favor of
I glide and vol-pique rejected for nose
j dive. One French term retained is
! abre, which is defined as meaning the
I flying attitude of a machine which
| travels "down by the stern" when in
i the air.

RAID WARNING KEPT
SECRET BY BAKER
[Continued From First Pajffe]
be put upon my statement. The state
ment was without political purpose
and ought to be without political ef
fect. It will have served its entire
purpose if it serves notice upon the
lawless people in Mexico that we havo
been warned and are prepared."
Secretary Baker declared it was "ab
surd" to suppose that his statement
had been intended to imply that my
political interest in the United State's
desired anything other than peace on
the border.
"St)ch a thing could not be," he
said.
Asked just what Interests he charg
ed were behind the movement. Secre
tary Baker dictated this statement:
"The Mexicans who oppose the, de
facto government in Mexico would, of
course, be glad to complicate relations
between tho United States and Mexico
and our information Is that they think
this an appropriate time to do so.
The statement made last night by the
department ought to discourage any
advance on their part in that direc
tion.
"Everybody knows that many Mexi
cans in this country are constantly
agitating against the de facto govern
ment. Any sympathy there may be on
the American side of the border with
the movement is wholly from this
souroe.
"The only possible suggestion of a
political purpose (in the war depart
ment's statement) is to prevent people
in Mexico from creating a disturbance
of a political character in furtherance
of their own design."
Part of tho information which led
to his statement, the secretary said,
reached him yesterday afternoon with
in a few minutes of the time he left
to deliver a campaign speech in West
Virginia. Mr. Baker, It was learned,
took his advices up with Secretary
Lansing and the latter Is said to have
} advised that there be no delay In mak
ing public the substance of the infor
mation.
i Secretary Lansing views the Infor
mation, although somewhat indefinite
as to individuals, as showing a dan
gerous situation alone the border.
Publication of the fact that, the gov
ernment has taken steps to checkmate
such a movement, he believes, goes l'ar
toward preventing an attacjc either
upon a border town or upon General
Pershing's forces.
Secretary Baker indicated that no
immediate movement of General Per
shing's columns were contemplated.
He refused to say, however, whether
orders had been given to meet an at
tack. He gave the impression that
Generals Funston and Pershing might
have been directed to take certain
steps of a retaliatory nature, should
an attack be made upon their forces,
or that the department had such or
ders under consideration.
"I have nothing to say on that sub
ject," was his only response to every
question in regard to orders sent to
the border.
The Department of Justice was in
vestigating the reports in an effort to
prosecute any persons who may bo
directing the plot from the American
side of the border. Secretary Lansing
expressed the opinion that no Ameri
cans were involved, although Kliseo
Arredondo, Mexican ambassador-de
signate, said similar reports reaching
hiin two weeks ago indicated Ameri
can advocates of intervention in Mex
ico were assisting Mexican bandits in
planning the raid.
Mr. ljinung authorised
following statement:
"I was quite correctly reported lasl
night in the statement that Secretary
Baker's announcement was inspired
by absolutely no political considera
tions as to this country. Nor does it
mean to Infer that Americans of any
sort are Involved in the plot. There
are many Mexican j-efugeecs in this
country who are fdmical to the
President's Mexican policy who would
doubtless consider the present time as
ripe for the furtherance of their pro
jects. The silver which is known to
have gone from this country to Mexi
can bandits was not necessarily from
Americans. Indeed I cannot conceive
that there is any American citizen who
is so heartless, so entirely cruel, so
wanton as to take a political step that
would involve American lives.
"The warning was given simply to
protect American lives and property
and I have every hope it will be effec
tive."
Willcox Scores Baker
For His Recent Actions in
Reported Bandit Attack
New York, Oct. I(27.—William R.
Willcox, chairman of the Republican
National Committee, Issued a state
ment to-day in reference to the one
last night by Secretary of War Baker
that definite information had been re
ceived by the War Department, that
a bandit attack upon American troops
or an American border town had been
arranged to take place before election
day by "enemies of the administra
tion's policy toward Mexico." Mr.
Willcox alluded also to Secretary of
State Lansing's declaration that the
War Department's statement waa not
Intended as an assault upon the ad
ministration's political opponents.
"In view of Secretary Lansing's
statement In the morning papers," said
Chairman Wilicox, "Mr. Baker was
guilty either of amazing stupidity or of
a disingenuous attempt to Rain votes
for Mr. Wilson by misrepresentation.
If Mr. Lansing is quoted corrsctly, ho
went over the Baker statement before
it was issued and the Baker statement
therefore appears to be the joint
product of Mr. Wilson's two cabinet
officers. There can be little doubt in i
the minds of anyone what this state- I
ment was designed to accomplish. The I
careful phrasing of Mr. Baker shows j
an attempt to make political capital
out of what he appears to have re- I
' garded as an impending disaster on j
the Mexican border. This political cap
jital was to be gained by charging that.
I enemies of Mr. Wilson's policy with
| regard to Mexico were behind it and
| that the attempt was to take place be
-1 tween naw and election. Other parts
of Mr. Baker's statement are suscept
ible of the same interpretation.
"If, as Mr. Lansing says, Mr. Baker
1 made this statement without eompre
-1 bending that it was a veiled charge
against American citizens, thereby im
plying the infamous guilt of treason,
ihen Mr. Baker has once more dls
-1 pluyed the remarkable bias of mind
which prompted him to make his un
patriotic statement regarding revolu
tionary soldiers in his speech in Jersey
City. Jf, on the other hand, Mr. Baker

ipf Kohner^s—Where Low Prices Prevail
deliberately attempted to create po
litical capital out of a national disas*
ter his position is infamous."
Mr. Willcox added that if the War
Department had information in regard
to the expected attack, "it is the duty
of the administration to use every
power of the government to find out
the guilty ones and punish them."
Value of Mass. Products
Drops, but Wages Increase
| Boston, Mass., Oct. 27.—Manufac
tured products in Massachusetts
showed an increase in value of a littlo
more than 10 per cent, in the five-year
period from 1909 to 1914, according t</
a report issued by the State Bureau of
Statistics to-day. The value in the
latter year was $1,fi41,373,047. Tha
I report points out, however, that I hero
was a decrease in value of more than
SI 7,000,000 from tho ligures in 19):!
and that the rate of increase for the
five years was far below the average
at any time for nearly twenty years.
In the same period the amount of
wages paid increased more than :t0 per
cent. In all previous five-year periods
since 1 895 the value of manufactured
products had increased more rapidly
than the amount paid in wages.
