123. Ths graduation exercises of the pupils of Publla School Ko. 23, Irving avenue and Buydam street, were held In the school auditorium last Bight. The auditorium was scarcely large snough to hold the hundreds of people who attended the exercises. Ths ball was decorated elaborately with evergreens and American flags draped about the walls and celling.

Complaints of discrimination and excessive rates are pouring in upon the commission from all quarters of the country.

Enough hearings have been scheduled to keep the members busy for months doing absolutely nothing but listening to arguments. Railroad men are constantly coming to Washington to confer with the commissioners taking up their time with long drawn out discussions. Other railroad men are writing constantly for interpretation of various provisions of the act. In addition to all these duties of a semi-Judlcial character, the commission is burdened with the Innumerable details of office administration. The task of fixing rates for the railroads of the country Is proving to be monumental.

The amount of administrative work involved Is appalling and grows greater every day. The force is wholly inadequate and the office accommodations insufficient. "If the rate law is to be administered successfully," saidk member of the commission to-day. with a weary look, "the commissioners must be relieved of all administrative duties. It Is sufficient for us to grant hearings and render decisions.

The executive work of administering the law, the handling of the thousands of' schedules that come In every day and the disposition of other features of work that constantly arise, must be separated from the functions of the members of the torn-mission." Rapid Progress on Brooklyn Navy Yard Collier. The Brooklyn Navy Yard is making an unviable record in building the collier Vestal. According to the latest reports of condition of ships under construction, the Vestal is twenty-five per cent, completed. The sister collier, the Prometheus, is less than one per cent, under way. It is being built at the Mare Island Navy Yard, on the Pacific Coast, where officers are green at ship construction and are hampered by ell kinds of labor troubles.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard promises to establish a new speed record for construction with the Vestal. Before a great many months the navy will have three new battleships delivered from yards of various contractors. The Cramps at Philadelphia, have the Mississippi and Idaho well on toward completion, while the New York Shipbuilding Company has completed sventy-flve per cent, of the work necessary on the New Hampshire. Two additional battleships, the South Carolina and Michigan, have Just been fairly started. Three armored cruisers will be delivered to the government within a comparatively brief period also.

They are the South Dakota, which Is ninety-eight per cent, completed, the North Dakota, which Is eighty per cent, completed and the Montana, which lacks twenty-five per cent. Good progress is being made on the scout cruisers which will be the fastest ships of any considerable size ever built for the American Navy. All three of them are more than seventy-five per cent, completed. CRIST. tllda A.

In which he dwelt In particular on Brooklyn's need of playgrounds. In this connection he made a spirited attack on the press of the greater city, saying that if the newspapers would devote more of their time to the crying needs of the people and less to individuals the good which they would accomplish would be far greater than it now Is. The stories told by ex-President of the Board of Aldermen John H. McGlnnis kept the young people in good humor and kept the speaker bowing for fully ten minutes afterward. Controller Herman A.

Metz had been invited to attend, but bis excuse was the same as that of Governor Hughes. The address to the graduates was mads by Associate Superintendent Clarence E. Meleney.

Wshington, June 27 The government, through th V. S. Survey, is halplng the coal operators to postpone the day when the nation's supply of mineral fuel will be exhausted. At, the present rate of consumption the last ton of hard coal would be burned about seventy-five years hence, but the adoption if economic scientific methods of mining is tending to prolong the -life of the great coal beds very materially. There has been much extravagance in producing coal in the past, accompanied by almost criminal waste, and there Is no prospect of lower prices to consumers In the future.

This at least Is the opinion of Edward W. Parker of the Geological Survey, who was a member of President Roosevelt's coal strike commission, and who probably knows more about coal conditions than anybody else In the country. Mr. Parker thinks that the public Is now getting its coal about as cheaply as can be expected. "In the early days of anthracite mining," said Mr.

Parker to-day, "the mining methods wero very wasteful, more attention being paid to cheap mining than to seourlug the largest possible production from a given area. In this way much coal was left in the ground and will never be recovered. "The survey is now conducting an investigation which it is hoped will result in mors economical methods of mining. One of the most serious problems now being considered is a reduction of the amount of waste in mining. It was not so many years ago that only 40 per cent, of the coal in a mine was actually marketed.

Sixty per cent, was lost. Improved methods have since reduced the amount of waste to 30 or 40 per cent. Culm Files Are Being Utilized. "Throughout the anthracite regions one see enormous piles of 'culm' several hundred feet in height and making unsightly monuments to the memory of old methods. They are made up of slack and small sizes of coal that have been regarded as unmarketable.

Being driven to methods of economy the mine owners are now washing these culm piles and utilizing the saleable coal. The black mountains are gradually disappearing, having furnished last year nearly 6 per cent, of the total anthracite output. Formerly the culm piles were contemptuously ignored. "The waste, is being still further reduced by mining from beds formerly considered too thin for profitable working. This Increases the cost of operations, but is made possible by the higher prices ot the product.

Much of the waste was due to the 'hogging' methods of operators. Little of the waste coal will be recovered, because it lies at the bottom of mines that have long since been abandoned and have filled In. Great pillars ot coal were left in mines to support the' root. These have caved la and cannot be recovered. "They are now mining rrom beds in Pennsylvania fields which less than twenty years ago were not considered among the available resources.

They were condemned as too thin to be worked profitably. In those days of extravagant coal mining no attention was paid to a bed eighteen inches or two feet thick. In England they are mining beds of coal one foot thick, while some workings are carried down as far as 2,700 or 3,000 feet." Maximum of Production Probably Beached, "When will the stock of hard coal disappear?" "It all depends." replied Mr. Parker, "on the decreasing ratio of production which will take place after the maximum has been reached. I figure that the maximum of production has been obtained.

This will continue for some years and then will come a period of decline In the output, unless of course some emergency should stimulate operations. The yearly production now ranges around 66,000,000 long tons. The biggest production was in 1905, when It aggregated 69,340,000 long tons. It may be possible to run up the output some year to 100,000,000 tons, but I doubt if that is ever done. When the period of decline begins the life of the coal fields will depend on the rate of decline." "How long will the supply last at the present rate of consumption?" Supply May Last for 200 Years.

"If they were to continue taking out coal at the present rate until tile mines were exhausted they would last for 75 or 80 years. But as the production will probably decline gradually we will most likely be burning anthracite coal for 200 years to come. In addition there will also be an increased percentage of recovery of coal la the ground." "Do you see any prospect of cheaper coal?" "No. It may be that In a year of depression. In which prices of all commodities are down, that there will be cheaper coal, but there will be no permanent decrease." "Is the present price of coal a fair price?" "I think it Is.

If you were to visit the anthracite region and see the amount of work that Is necessary to produce and prepare for consumption a ton of coal of domestic size, you would wonder that It ran be sold at a profit at the price it sells for at the mines. A great deal of this coal must be sold at prices below the cost of mining." Gas and Coke Largely Substituted for Hard Coal. "Is there anything in sight that promises to take the place of coal?" "Gas and coke are already being substituted for hard coal. They are being used more and more each year, which tends to restrict the production of anthracite and also explains why the production of hard coal has not kept pace with the production of bituminous coal." "Is there any danger of the early exhaustion of the bituminous mines?" "Not within the time of our great grandchildren." was the reply. "I figure that at the present rate of production the bituminous supply will last between 4.000 and 6.000 years.

If the rate of increase keeps up at the rate of the last fifty years it will be exhausted some time in the next century." Commerce Commissioners Badly Overworked; The hardest worked bunch of Washington officials are the members of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Their pay was increased with the adoption of the rate law they get J10.000 a year each and they come nearer to earning every penny of It than any official in Washington outside of the President and Secretary Taft. The rate law has made all kinds of trouble for the men whose duty It is to administer it. Prior to'the adoption of this law jobs on the Interstate Commerce Commission were eagerly sought as the fattest sinecures lo be found in Washington. The commissioners occasionally gave a hearing, but as their orders Jiad no authority back of them whatever, there was practically nothing for them to do.

All this was changed with tha enforcement of the new rate law. PUBLIC SCHOOL NO. 16."
