Start With. At last evening's meeting of the direstors of the Y. M. C. A., Emerson Houser, who has been serving as assistant general secretary for the past Mix months, was appointed acting general secretary, on account of the vacancy existing In the general secretaryship. The affairs of the association will continue under the joint management of Mr. Houser and Physical Director Searfoss, which arrangement has h«en found very satisfactory. The reports presented to the directors last evening revealed a very gratifying condition of affairs in every respect. Tije finances are In good condition, especially in view of the large added expenses that has come with the operation of the new building. Thm far during the year over $4,000 has been raised from various sources for association purposes, but the most expensive part of the year is yet to come, the lighting and heating bills being large during the fall and winter month-*, and it will be necessary to raise as much more money to meet the obligations of the association before the close of the year. Plans are under way for aggressive work in the religious, educational and physical departments. One of the new features to be introduced in the educational schedule will be Bible classes on one night each week, and the class schedule will be so arranged that as many as possible of the student's will be given an opportunity to attend the Bibfte classes. It is the Intention to conduct these classes systematically, the same as other classes, and to adopt the study outline prepared by the International Y. M. C. A. committee. The Sunday afternoon religious service, which was abandoned a couple of months ago, will, bo revived' early in September, and It is intended to make them as attractive as possible, with good speakers and other features. Washington, Aug. 14.—A report was Issued luk the bureau of Inbor of an investigiHbn into wages and hours of labor lti 1!X)5 In the principal manufacturing and mechanical industries of the UMted States. The report gives the average wages and hours of labor and the number of employees In identical establishments in both 1004 and 1900. While the figures presented are not exhaustive for the United States, the report says, "It Is believed they are fairly representative of the Industries investigated." New York, Aug. 14.—The Times today «ays: Though geologists have put the life of the Pennsylvania anthracite fields at about 100 years, the figures of coal consumption in this, country show that the rate of Increase in the consumption of hard coal is constantly on the decrease for, several reasons, which are becoming more marked every year, and soma authorities think that the belief Is warranted that the consumption will soon begin to show an actual decrease, which will necessitate a readjustment of the geologists' estimate. New York, Aug. 14.—Complications growing out of opposing orders and opinions by public and by corporation officials and disorder, which at times threatened to become acute owing to the determination of the people, marked the situation in Brooklyn arising from the decision by Supreme Court Justice Gaynor on Saturday that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company has not a right to charge a double fare of 10 cents to Coney Island. Conditions were not much clearer than they were on Sunday, though more quiet owing to the activity of the police and less travel. At times, however, there were repetitions of the disgraceful scenes of Sunday, when thousands of persons were brtitnlly ejected from the cars, many were badly hurt, cars wore stalled for miles, officials of the road were arrested and 150,000 passengers had to walk part of the way home or spend the night outdoors. New York.

The ten years ending In 1885 saw It drop to 70.4 per cent., in 1895 it dropped to 51.3 per cent., and in 1 !D05 It had gone down to 33.it per cent. the Oiler of the Delaware & IIihI" Tbey listened with Interest to the report, but Home of them gasped when the committee showed that it would require at least $275,000 to carry out the work outlined. With a hundred families In the colony us the basis for calculation the committee said those families would require sixty cottages and sixty rooms In the central hotel proposed, while sixty additional rooms In the hotel were set apart for guests and workers In the colony. "The results of this Investigation show that in 11)05 the a vera fro wages per hour In the i»rlnei]»nl manufacturing and mechanical Industries of the country were 1.0 per cent higher than in that the average hours of labor per week remained the same as In 1!H)4 and that 0.3 per cent more persons were employed in the establishments investigated. As there was 110 reduction In the ftveruge hours of labor per week, the average weekly earnings per employee were 1.0 per cent higher than in 11)04.

The work amounts practically to the building of an entire new plant, for a new plant it is, with the exception of very few parts. The present gas-making machinery, which will be shut down as soon as the new Is ready for operation, is to be kept as an emergency plant. Not a little of this decline In the consumption of anthracite Is attributed to the increased use of gas as fuel tot domestic purposes and the use of steam heat instead of hard coal stoves for heating. Bituminous coal, on the other hand, more than doubles In rate of consumption every decade. It» use In the Iron Industry and the practically universal demand for It for steaming purposes make the growth of consumption keep even Dace with the extension of industry. Edward Traynor refused to pay an extra fare at Coney Island at Neek road and Gravesend avenue. Six inspectors picked him up bodily and hurled him l'rom the platform of the car to a ditch at the roadside. lie landed on his back, sustained severe internal injuries and was taken to the Emergency hospital, Coney Island, suffering intensely. Hotel Will Cost $100,000. It was said ft suitable hotel within one hour of New York city would cost |100,000. The plan allows one-half acre of land to each of the sixty cottages, twenty acres for the children's colony and tifty acres for the central building and the recreation ground, or a hundred acres in all. It was the opinion of the committee the land could be obtained for $300 au acre. The estimate was that the hundred families In the colony would contain 200 adults and a hundred children. The number of employees was figured at seventy-five, but the committee expressed the opinion that the colonists could work and reduce by one-third the number of employees required. erected The commission was created by the legislature of 1005. and consists of President Pro Tem. of the Senate Sproul, Speaker Walton, Senator Scott, Representative Marstellar, of Lehigh, and Charles H. Mullen, of Cumberland, and Congressman Wright, of Wayne. The last two were appointed on the commission by Governor Pennypacker. The act appropriated $10,(100 for a site, and $150,- 000 to commence the erection of the buildings. The new equipment, which was made by the Gas Machinery Co., of Cleveland, O., occupies a new brick fire proof building with concrete foundations, just below the present plant. The building is 22x52, with galvanized Iron roof and Iron floors and stairways. It Is two stories high. The main equipment contained in It consists of five large tanks, known In regular order as the generator, carbonator, superheater, scrubber and condenser. The tanks are each six feet In diameter and about 25 feet high. Tliey have openings on both the first and second floors. At the present enormous rate of oujtput the Pennsylvania soflt coal fields have a shorter life ahead of them than the anthracite fields, according to the preliminary figures of an estimate which Henry S. Fleming, the consulting engineer of the Bituminous Coal Trade association, la working out. The following table furnished by Mr. Fleming shows the rate of production in gross tons of both hard and soft coal by decades since 1825: Baby Seized as Hostage. "When the figures of this article relating to wages and hours of labor and those of the succeeding article, relating to retail prices of food, are brought together It Is seen that the retail prices of food, due weight being given to the quantity and cost of the different commodities consumed, were 0.(1 per cent higher In ll)0.r» than In 1H04. As the average wages per hour Increased more than the retail prices of food, the purchasing power of wages increased. In 11X15 the purchasing power of both hourly and weekly wages was 1 per cent higher than in l'.KU, or, expressed in other words, an hour's wages In llHlo would purchase 1 per cent more food than an hour's wages in 1!KD4." A womnn with a baby in her arms refused to pay the extra fare. A sweaty inspector with dirty hands snatched her baby from her arms and announced that he would keep "the kid" until she paid her fare. Fourteen sites were offered to the commission at various prices. Speaker [Walton, as president of the commission, had visited all the big Institutions in the United States and Canada providing for the care of the criminal Insane, and the members of the commission had Inspected the various sites submitted to them. Tho body of a victim of Sunday's riot was found crushed in the C:Dney Island creek. The body was Identified by members of her family as that of Miss Fannie Sabrinskv of 113 Belmont street, Brooklyn. Coroner's Physician Ilartung after the autopsy said that the girl lmd died from a fractured skull and not from drowning. The same cav that threw three women from the bridge over the creek is supposed tb have killed Miss Sabrlnsky. VANDALS IN A CHURCH. The first process of gas making Is done In the generator, where the gas Is taken from ordinary anthracite coal by means of burning as In a stove. The gas then passes into the carbonntor. where It Is mixed with oil, after which it passes through the superheater. scrubber and condenser and Is then conducted into the reserve holders, which are the large round tanks outside. Just before entering the pipes for consumption. It Is purified in three tanks provided for the Anthracite.

Seventeen Accused of Conspiracy to Thieves Chicago, Aug. 14,—The hunks of llie Chicago Clearing House association today offered a reward of $rD,00l) l'or the apprehension of i'aul O. Stensland, fugitive president of the Milwaukee Avenue State hank. Put Up Prices. 1 Upper Lackawanna county has been having a run of bold burglaries (luring the past few weeks, and dnc of the burglars, who was caught In the act of robbing a house at Peckvillc, was shot, being a patient now In the Lackawanna prison hospital. Seemingly the robbers are a desperate band, since they have continued their depredations. Several minor robberies have taken place and today one of a serious character is reported. Some time last night or early this morning the Greek Catholic Church, at Mayfteld, near Jermyn, was entered by trleves, who forced one of the doors, and valuable articles were stolen. The robbery was not discovered until the pastor of the church, Rev. Orseny, entered the sacred edifice this morning to officiate at the regular week day mass. As soon as he entered the church he discovered that vandals had been there, and when he made an Investigation he discovered that costly articles had been taken from the altar, the loss to the church being in the neighborhood of $800 or $1,000. Among the stolen articles were two chandeliers, a gold chalice, and one altar piece with a diamond setting. There is no clue whatever to the thieves. The pastor lives close to the church, but he was not disturbed during the night and nobody else In the neighborhood heard the robbers at work. The Inspectors were pounding Greenblatt when Colonel Roberts dashed Into the crowd, seized the cowering passenger, grabbed him by the throat and dragged hjm to the gutter. There he threw him down on his back, knelt on his chest and choked him until he was almost Insensible. farm, two-thirds of which is under cultivation. It contains a mansion, two large barns and other buildings. The other part of the site constitutes what was known as Parview Park. Running along this part are the tracks of the Delaware & Hudson railroad, with switches leading into the center of the grounds. Boston, Aug. 14.—Indictments against seventeen Ice dealers and six Ice companies were returned by the Suffolk county grand Jury. The Ice dealers are charged with having unlawfully conspired "to regulate, advance and tlx the prlec of Ice for public sale." and the Ice companies are charged as corporations wlfJi conspiracy. The dealers indicted are President Lewis G. White of the Massachusetts Ice Dealers' association. Secretary Charles W. Ilallustram of the association and the fifteen other members of the organization.In searching the home of Paul O. Stensland detectives discovered a secret room opening off his "deu" which was evidently designed for a biding place from the police. It seems to show that Stensland when he began looting the bank made every preparation for escape when ultimate discovery should come. The Royal Commission'* estimate takes into account veins as small as 18 inches, which are Impracticable for working purposes, and also counts coal in the ground to the 5,000-foot level. Eliminating features oP the British estimate the American ex-'« perts put the end of coal mining In England at a much earlier date, whjch makes a foreign demand something which must be reckoned with in our*J own fuel situation probably within a century. When Colonel Roberts, who appeared to he half crazy with rage, let Greenblatt up the man dropped In a dead faint. Sergeant Callahan, who was on hand with twenty policemen under explicit orders to protect passengers from brutality, Instead of arresting Colonel Roberts arrested Greenbla'tt. The company also transfers to the State the culm banks on the site, containing coal which, it is estimated, will give fuel to the institution for the next 20 years. There is an abundance of pure water on the ground. Several .springs feed small streams that run through the field. These will supply the institution with all the water needed. Everything In the new plant is In duplicate. Two new turbine engines have been installed, but will not be ready for running for some tlnV. They were made by the DeLavall Steam Turbine Co., of Trenton. U. J. There are two new oil pumps also from the Piatt Iron Works Co., of Dayton. O. A new steam boiler is being placed in position, and the one flow in use will be held ready for Ills son Theodore, the vice president of the hank, who was arrested on a charge conspiracy, Insists that Ills father has committed suicide. He says that, knowing Stensland as he does, It is not conceivable that he could live a fugitive from Justice. The compaules indicted nre the Bos ton. Independent, Union, Fresh Popd, Cambridge and Highland Co-operative companies. "My men have a right to kill anybody who refuses to pay his fare, and the courts would sustain them," yelled Colonel Roberts. Although the prospecting of the bituminous fields of Pennsylvania has not been carried a« far as in the anthracite district, geologists are abley to estimate with a fair degree of accuracy that the total acreage of the bituminous field is approximately 10,- 000,000 acres. i As soon as an official survey of the site Is made and the governor approves of the selection a warrant will be drawn on the State treasurer and the deed transferring the property to the State will be executed. The preliminary work of erecting the building* will then be entered upon and the next legislature will be asked to :-mke an appropriation to complete The dealers when arraigned pleaded not guilty and were held In bonds of $1,000 each.

Mr. Remmert Is a young but an expert machinist. Rome, Aug. 14.—The report published in London that Pope Plus X. is suffering from a dangerous form jDf gout, threatening pnrnlysls of the heart, is without foundation. That the health of the pope Is satisfactory is shown by the fact that he received Mgr. Dennis O'Conuell, rector of the Catholic university at Washington, and that his medical attendant.
