Tests Show Method Better Than Buying in West. After tests extending over several years the Nuvy Department has cen- cluded that it is better to ship coal from the east coast for the use of naval vessels on tne Pacific than to depend on the coal supply of | the western coast. Coal obtained | from the Bering river and Mat nauska districts has not proved ge: erally satisfactory. With the advent of ofl burners, the consumption of coal by naval vessels on the Pacific statjon has decreased. All the battleships on that station are oi] burners, except the New York and Texas, which have been ordered to the Atlantic, and all of the destroyers are oil hurners CEREALS Carton Cracked Wheat, Premier... 25¢ Cream of Wheat..

Former Dry Leader Sure of Success of Appeal. By the Assoclated Press, NEW YORK. February 11.—A let- ter l"‘om Willlam H. Anderson, pro- testifg his innocence of the charges on which he was convicted lust week, and sentenced to from one to two years in state's prison, and convey- ing his resignation as superintend- ent of the Anti-Saloon League of ‘New York, was made public yester- day by the league. An announcement made at Gloversville, N, Y., that the 'league's directors had unanimously accepted the resignation was con- firmed. Anderson, who was found guilty of third degree forgery in falsifying the league's books, asserted he resigned so that his connection with the or- ganization might not keep from fts membership those who were “unable to comprehend” the kind of service he had rendered the league. The former state superintendent, de- claring _he had given twenty-four years of his life to the dry cause and was willing “to lay down my life at | lny time" for that cause, added that | he did not shrink from the “greater sacrifice” falsely attacked as a result of his accomplishments. His work. he continued, had put him in a false position in two re- apocts: “By trying to save the league the cost of this work, I left myself open to misrepresentation in cas trusted associate went Wwrong: in order to preserve Inviolate a confi- dence respecting the assistance with- out which these victories would have been Impossible, 1 accepted a situa- tion which would leave me helpless {to prove my story.” Mr. Anderson declared that an ap- 1" from his conviction, jintimated was contemplated, would be certain to vindicate him.
