THAW COMING TO HARRY'S SIDE .Until Her Arrival No Decision Will Be Reached on Ex tradition Philadelphia, Jan. 13.—Private de tectives to-day said that Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw would come here next week and occupy a room at St. Mary's Hospital, where her son, Harry K. Thaw, is recovering from self-inllieted razor wounds. Until her arrival, it ■was said, no decision will be reached as to whether the family will resist efforts to have Thaw removed to New York, where he has been indicted on charges of kidnaping and beating Frederick Gump, jr., a Kansas City boy. Friends of Thaw said it was prob able nothing really will be done until Thaw sufficiently recovers to be able to participate in a family conference. Thaw still refuses to make any state ment regarding the Gump charges or give reasons for his attempt at suicide. Detectives have found nothing among his letters or papers ergarding the case, they say. New York detectives are waiting here for the arrival of requisition pa pers for Oliver A. Hrovver, who is held in the county prison without bail on n fugitive warrant based on a New York indictment charging him with conspiracy to kidnap in connection with the Gump case.

OF COURSE YOU LOVED HOW WOULD YOU LIKE HIS EOERYDAY LIFE "Si" Riddle, Who Spent Seven Months as Colonel Cody's Neighbor, Tells Some Ilowdy dos About "the Press Agent of the West" Among Harrisburg residents who knew Colonel Cody and are familiar with the Wyoming home of the Col onel is Silas S. Kiddle, editor of pub lication, of the Department of Labor and Industry. Mr. Kiddle spent seven months in 1914 on the cattle ranch of Samuel Aldrich adjoining the ranch of Colonel Cody in Northwestern Wyoming. The following description, given by Mr. Riddle, of the Colonel's home country and its people contains a number ot anecdotes regarding the Colonel. ItufTulo Hill's llomc About forty miles, by rocky stage coach trail, west of the little town of Cody, Wyoming, is the T E ranch, which Colonel Cody loved to term as "home." Throughout Wyoming it is known as the "T E"—the letters branded on all the Colonel's cattle, horses and mules that roam the graz ing country surrounding the ranch house and buildings and the 64 0 wire fence enclosed acres, under irrigation for the raising of oats und alfalfa for the winter feeding of some of the more select stock. Colonel Cody was the founder of the town which bears his name, h delighted to tell of his first vision from the Rig Horn Mountains of the broad Hat plain, five thousand feet above sea level, where he later established the settlement which is known as one of the most picturesque ineccas for tourists seeking fast fading evidences of the wild west as it used to be. Hotel Named For Daughter The center of attraction in the town of Cody is the Irma Hotel built by the Colonel and named for his daugh ter. In the lobby a massive rough stone fireplace comprises the greater part of one wall. From above the heavy stone mantel stands out a grotesque whitened skull of a buffalo with the horns intact. The house is literally filled with paintings and original drawings deal ing with western scenes. Many of Frederick Remington's best known western pictures hang, in the original copies, in the Irma. Autograph photo graphs of the late P. T. liarnum and many other celebrities, not excluding former presidents of the United States and rulers of foreign realms are in cluded in the mural decorations. Great Spinner of Yarns It was always at the Irma Hotel that the Colonel held forth at Cody. He was a great spinner of yarns and for hours would keep his listeners al ways enthralled and frequently con vulsed. "I was visiting my daughter at a young ladies' boarding school one time." once narrated the Colonel, "and 1 was corralled with the others at a concert one evening. A young man, evidently an instructor in the school took the platform to sing a tenor solo. He started to sing about 'ten thousand foes arise.' His voice went bad and he started to cough. He got as far as the 'ten thousand foes' the second time and again his voice broke. He was game all right and I pitied him, so just before he started his third trial I called to him: 'Pardner your 'way outnumbered. If you can manage to reduce those foes by a couple of thou sand I don't mind unlimbering my guns and helping you out of your difficulty.' " The Colonel did not say whether his offer was accepted. He'd Throw Up llis Job, Too It was from Cody and adjacent territory that the Colonel recruited virtually all of the bronco riders, rope twirlers and sharp shooters that ac companied him with his show through every State in the Union and to for eign countries. "My heart went out to one poor bronc' twister after the voyage across the Atlantic," once said the Colonel. "He was a horseman through and through and could ride any pitching bronc' in the outfit. I did not see him on deck all the way across to Europe. When we landed I asked him where ho had been and what was his trouble? He frankly answered: 'Col onel, 1 will ride anything you got in the outfit without pullin' leather, but the pitchin' of that bout plumb threw me. I threw up everything I had ct for (wo weeks back and if I had been back in the old U. S. A. I'd a threw up my job, too.' " Press Agent of the West But the Colonel was genuinely a part of the western country. He has been called the press agent of the west and his personality has doubtlessly done more to attract easterners to the plains and western cities than the widely quoted advice of Horace Greely. Many eastern millionaires, artists, writers and hunters of world fame visited the Colonel in his Cody home. In the fall of 1913, the Prince of Monaco, with a retinue, came from his far off Monte Carlo province, to hunt grizzlies and elk in the Shoshone range of the Rockies that lie to the west of the town of Cody. Bet You a Million Gates About four years ago, Charlie Gates, eastern millionaire, best known for his "bet you a million" slogan, came to Cody by special car. While there he hunted in the surrounding mountains and later, bewildered even the resi dents of Cody by paying off church debts, buying three-hundred-dollar 'coon skin overcoats for western char acters, who pleased his fancy, and even leasing, for one night, Cody's lone movie show for the jubilation of the youngsters of the settlement. It was stated that Gates was so pleased with the town of Cody that he in tended building a home there but he was suddenly stricken and died in his private car on a siding at the Cody station and thus was ended his first and only visit. Three times a week the stagecoach leaves Cody to 1 ravel westward along the south fork of the Shoshone River past the T E ranch of Colonel Cody. The north and south forks of the Shoshone merge a few miles west of Cody. Along the course of the north fork is the eastern approach to the Yellowstone Park. A well kept coach road lends along ihe north branch of the stream into the park and at the park boundary is an inn formerly conducted by Colonel Cody and known as Paliaska Teepee. The south fork road can hardly be called well kept, it ends in a narrow trail in a mass of almost impassable peaks that rise to ten thousand feet and form the natural eastern boundry of the Yel lowstone Park. Traveling along this road, after sev eral hours out of Cody, past nearby foot hills and rolling country, hemmed In on two sides by high ridges, one finally comes to a high open plain from whleh one can look down upon the Cody ranch. Stickler Fop Neatness The buildings are low nnil of lopr construction, carefully whitewashed, fop the Colonel wan a stickler for neatness nnd nttraotlve appearances.

A magnificent grove of cottonwood trees is adjacent to the ranch buildings. Under a low shed to the east of the house stand three time-worn stage coaches of the olden days, each prob ably with a history. They are now falling into decay and are mainly nest ing places for the hens that live at random about the ranch buildings. About a hundred yards from the ranch house stands Colonel Cody's new barn, about 110 feet long by 40 feet wide. It is carefully constructed entirely of logs and when finished in March of 1914 was the scene of a real western dance which attracted neigh bors of the ranch within a radius of fifty miles. A Real Western Dance Virtually all of the dancers—cow boys, ranch owners, women and girls —rode to the ranch on ponies and danced until daylight, enjoying mean while a dinner of gigantic proportions, served at the orders of the colonel. The dancing was continued until dawn, mainly for the reason that few persons in that western country desire to ride the trails in darkness. Consequently, all Wyoming ranch dances continue until daybreak. There were one hun dred and eight persons, by actual count, who partook of the hospitality of the colonel on that occasion. He had given carte blanche orders to Billy Goodfellow, the English man ager of the ranch, and Mrs. Goodfel low to "do it right," and the cow punchers all vociferously agreed that it was so done. Adjoining this massive barn are the corrals, the breaking pens, where Wild West shows are frequently staged to little groups of critical cowpunchers in the work of making saddle horses out of the raw material. The western half of the low ranch house is Colonel Cody's private quar ters. They are always ready for him, day and night, and he so found them whether the intervals between his visits were days, weeks or months. When the Picture Was Taken In the main living room of the colonel's quarters is the inevitable stone fireplace. The walls are covered with curios picked up in a busy and curious mixture of life varying from the open plains of America to the high court circle:) of Europe. One large framed photograph in the room that Billy Goodfellow, the English ranch manager, once called to the attention of a Pennsylvanian showed the entire Wild West aggregation of Buffalo Bill's show lined up before a massive building of stone. "There is a picture," said Billy, "that was taken in Rome." "How do you know?" he was asked. "I think I heard the colonel say so," replied Billy. RAILROAD RUMBLES MORE SOFT COAL THAN ANTHRACITE Reading Shipments Show Rec ord Figures; Come From West and South The bituminous tonnage of the I Rc.'iding Railway keeps on increasing j and now far exceeds the shipments of anthracite from its own mines. The shipments of bituminous via the Read ing from the different soft coal fields for 11 months of 191 fi shows a total of 17,319,111 gross tons, while the anthracite shipments for the entire year of 1916 were 12,842,731. The bituminous coal comes from the Clearfield, Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia fields. All of this is de livered to the Reading at Shippens burg, Harrisburg and Williamsport. Coal for Steel Company The great bulk is delivered from the West Virginia mines. Much of this fuel goes to the Bethlehem Steel Com pany. The wonderful growth of industrial establishments in the Schuylkill Valley the past few years has greatly stimu lated the sale of bituminous. Years ago many of the industries used an thracite, but very little is used to-day because of the high cost. Thousands of fons of bituminous are consumed in this city every year. The Reading Railway Company uses many thou sands o. tons as engine fuel. PRKSIDKNT DICK IMPROVES Augusta, Ga., Jan. 13.—President A. T.

Mr. Dice's health has improved won derfully during his stay in Augusta and for two weeks he has been able to spend practically every day on the golf course of the country club.

And that is whore the picture was taken. Colonel Cody was admired greatly by the residents of Wyoming for the truly wonderful things he had done for that country. He was keenly sym pathetic and amazingly generous. He had the true western ranchman's con tempt for money, except as an un avoidable medium of exchange in the more commercial communities. He gave and spent through all his life with extreme freedom. He had a won derful eye for details of tidiness about a ranch and one of his quaint methods of reproving his employes when he discovered something askew was to assert with studied, ungrammatical emphasis: "It looks as though a poor widow woman' lives here." His T E ranch, between show sea sons was a center for cow punchers famed in rope twirling and other suc cessful feals on eastern vaudeville stages. Great Self- Advertiser The colonel's wonderful personality made him almost unconsciously a great self-advertiser. On one occasion some movie men, with cameras and films, came to his ranee to visualize some western scenes. The colonel waived a high regard for his front lawn even to the point of permitting a broncho buster to ride a pitching outlaw horse among the piles of elk horns and painted boulders upon that lawn so that his rafich house might serve as the background for the riot in spite of the damage to the grass. The colonel was, of course, Included in the picture, apparently giving di rections to the bronc' rider. For another picture, one of the wobbly Deadwood coaches was hauled from the shed where it had stood for years. Four horses were attached to it and it was filled with cow punchers and women of the ranch. The scenario was that the picture should begin showing the stagecoach load of "guests" crossing at the ford of the Shoshone and whirling up to the ranch house, from which the colonel was to emerge and joyfully greet his visitors. However, the colonel be lieved he should be in the picture at the river, pointing out the best place for fording and then later, also run from the house to greet his guests. Considerable time was consumed in the argument convincing the colonel that It would be far better for him to remain out of the picture at the ford as otherwise his surprise on greeting his guests, at the house, might be somewhat discounted. With the passing of the idol of that section of the country it will be diffi cult to find, if ever there Is found, so ptoturesque a character to take his place. Engineers for 3, 32, 22.

DULLEST CLOSE OF MANY MONTHS Active Shares Down 1 to 211 Points; Specialties Decline High as 15 New York, Jan. 13.—T0-day's short session was the dullest of any week end in many months. Operations were so light as to indicate not only the absence of public interest, but of that of the professional element as well. Active shares were 1 to 2 points down at lowest levels and in specialties declines ran from 15 points for Beth lehem Steel. 6 for United States Rub ber and 5 for United States Realty. Shipping, oils and low-priced mining issues were heavy to weak. United States Steel registered an extreme de cline of a point and rails were stag nant, with a lower trend. Final prices showed general and in some issues full recovery. The closing was irregular. Sales were estimated at abc"f 200,000 shares. bonds were firm.

COAL PRODUCTION 256 MILLION TONS 86,000,000 Tons Dug Out in An thracite Regions Mine Chief Reports Pennsylvania's coal operators did not do all of tlio business they could have done because of unpreparedness for the great demand for coal, car shortage, labor troubles and other reasons, and yet the production of coal in the State was 256,000,000 tons, according to James E. Roderick, the State Chief of Mines. The Chief says that operators who were equipped with proper facilities and were not tied up with old con tracts had what he terms "a golden opportunity," and yet many operators, although offered as high as $4 and $5 a ton fulfilled their contracts, even though some got only $2 a ton. The bituminous operators, especially, were caught on long contracts. "The production of coal in Penn sylvania for 191 C will amount to i probably 256,000,000 net tons, of which 170,000,000 tons were produced in the bituminous region and 86,000,- 000 tons in the anthracite region. The number of employes in the bituminous region was 171,477 and in the anthra cite region 155.689. There were 433 fatal accidents among the bituminous employes and 560 among the anthra cite employes, and 1,800 nonfatal ac cidents among the bituminous em ployes and 2,100 among the anthra cite. There were no great disasters to mar the prosperous record of the industry. Deaths and Funerals ISAAC M. KINKS Funeral services for Isaac M.
