fl MILLION TONS, COAL SHORTAGE NOW

First Six Months of 1919 That Far Behind—July Shows Shade Better.

The extent to which production of coal by Indiana mines has fallen off this year is revealed by the publication Saturday of the production figures for the month of June. These disclosed the fact that during the first six months of the present year the amount of coal mined in this btate has been less by more than 5,000,000 tons than the tonnage of the first six months of 1918. The production the first half of this year was little over 9,000.000 tons.

The June production figures were 1,335,551 tons as against 1,307,325 tons in May. The increased tonnage is so slight as to have very little appre- i ciable effect upon next winter's re- I quirements. Available records for tho first eight days of July show a slightly better* rate of production, but this is not nearly as large as it should be, considering the situation in which the territory served by Indiana mines is I shortly to find itself. i

During the latter part of June and the first week of July it is noticeable that on certain lines a car shortage is beginning to make itself felt. Thus, for the week ending July 5th the car

Some of the congressmen who had come from Washington for the parade realized that they would be risking their health to march in a rain storm and did not get in line. Others risked the rain, and later chlded their more conservative fellow members in the hotel lobbies.

One float showed the" rpace conference with Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Orlando seated at a table while Wilson stood. The president was well "taken off" by J. Barton, of Salem, N. J., a physical double. Before the parade wks over Wilson, Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Orlando were dripping wet and the peace treaty iWas a rag.

Boston scored heavily with Its unique display. One hundred and fifty men marched. They were dressed as Indians, Columbus, Goddess of Liberty, Puritans, 1812 soldiers, Paul Revere, and Miles Standish.

Governor Lowden addressed the Elks from the reviewing stand. His speech was in line with the recently launched campaign against bolshevism.

UPHOLD MIGRATORY BIRD LAW.

Constitutionality of Federal Act Sustained By Judge in Arkansas. LITTLE ROCK, Ark.. July 12.—The cnstitutionality of the federal migratory bird treaty act, approved July 3, 1 £18, .Is upheld In an opinion rendered not long ago by Federal Judge Jacob Trieber of the Eastern District of Arkansas in the case of the United States against E. D. Thompson, of Memphis, charged with killing and possessing one robin in violation of the act.

This is one of the most important decisions ever rendered affecting the conservation of wild life. It sustains the right of congress to enact legislation to insure the execution of the terms of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, concluded August IS. 1916, for the protection of migratory birds in the. United States and Canada.

Had Wrong Color Scheme

The same idea circulated around and

Easter caught it. His fancy ran to a wagon and he purchased one from a second-hand store—one of the delivery wagons with tops. Then he began the work of making It like new and the big part of the story happened along.

Easter admits ho doesn't know much about some of the national colors and unconsciously went ahead with the painting. "When it was finished. It had the hues of red, yellow and black. 3ome of his fellow firemen saw the newly painted wagon and right then Frank learned that he had unconsciously worked the German national colors into his decoration scheme.

However, it has been changed and the red has been eliminated and only the yellow and black remains. Easter opined when he had finished that he always had been pretty sure that the red in the German tlag stood for the bolshevism.*

ELKS' PARADE PRIZES.

One Float Showed Wilson, Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Orlando. ATLANTIC CITY, July 12.—In a rain storm that soaked the marchers to their skins, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks paraded here yesterday.

Many members were garbed in blue coats and white duck trousers. Their gay flags were dripping masses within a few minutes, and their clothing was sodden.

Thousands ef spectators endured the rain to watch the procession. The Elks marched in a line flanked with umbrellas. The discipline, which forbade them to smoke, glance aside or wave to any one on the sidewalks, held perfectly under the severe weather.

in-law, Gus Russel, were present when the ehootUig occurred. Porter had evidently followed his wife from her home to Rector's house. The first intimation of the tragedy came when he was seen by Russel rushing out of his home flourishing a revolver. He shouted to the latter telling him that he had better follow and mounted a bicycle. Russel also got his bicycle and followed the man.

Motor Officers Allen and Weeks hastened to the scene and arrived shortly after the shooting. They captured the wife and Ijtessel as the two were walking nprTh on Thirteenth street. Both were taken to police headquarters and examined by Acting Captain Fred Hardy. On returning to the Rector Ijome the victim was found lying on the floor. He said that Porter had shot him but did not reveal any information that would lead to any other motive but jealousy. He is an engineer at the American hominy mills and has been living at the present residence for a number of years. It was said that his wife died a few months ago.

Porter appeared at the police station shortly after midnight and gave himself up. After being, examined by Capt. Harvey Jones, he was sent to Jail to await the outcome of his victim's injuries.

It was announced at the hospital that Rector was in a serious condition and there is no hope for his recovery. His intestines were perforated in five different places by the bullet entering the abdomen and the leg wound is also of a dangerous nature.

She Wanted a Bachelor Fireman to Rescue Her

CHICAGO, July 12.—Bachelor flre» men today are gloating over a signal honor won In competition with married members of the department when Miss Dorothy Lehman, who was imprisoned in the federal system of bakeries plant here, picked an uavretkied hero to rescue her.

Miss Lehman was the last to leave the plant after work today and when she tried to open the door she found it was locked. In fact, all exits were locked. After an hour's imprisonment she succeeded in attracting passers-by, by tapping on the window.

Police were unable to releas« her, so they summoned fire truck company No. 1^ The plan was to hoist a ladder to a second story window whereby she could descend to freedom.

But Miss Dorothy was timid about that ladder. In fact, she finally refused to attempt descent. It then developed upon some stalwart fireman to go up and carry her down.

There was a rush of bachelor firemen for the job. But up stepped the married firemen. Theirs was the Job, thoy claimed, by dir.t of experience with women. Much argument followed and the choice was left to Miss Dor-, Othy. "Send up a bachelor," said Miss Dorothy.

He rescued her.
