Coal Men of Kentucky Most
Enthusiastic for Lease, De
claring Lease Wotild Give
Them Outlet for Produce.
(By the Associated Pre«s.>
Washington. Sept. 25.—Shippers along
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad to
day urged the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to grant the application of that
road and the Atlantic Coast Line for a<-
quisitioif of the Carolina Clinchfield &
Ohio system. Kentucky coal producers
were especially emphatic in their advo
cacy of the plan which is being opposed
by other southern railroads aud some
southeastern business interests.
"We were greatly elated at the Louis
vijle & Nashville's project for taking ov
er tlie Clinchfield,” I{. C. Tway, presi
dent of the Harlan Kentucky coal opera
tors' association, testified. “We felt it
would give us a new market for coal, a
wonderful territory to ship into and a
good and well balanced railroad machine
to handle the traffic.”
During cross examination Mr. Tway
said the Kentucky producers had no idea
the Louisville & Nashville's plans to take
over the Clinchfield would be objection
able anywhere.
“The first we heard of it was that the
Seaboard Air Line aud Southern Rail
way had employed John Skelton Wil
liams, former comptroller of the currency,
to scout tlie bushes around the South
and scare up some opposition to the
project,” he added.
Mr. Williams, one of the oposing coun
sel before the commission, promptly ask
ed Mr. Tway where he got “that gossip.”
Mr. Tway replied that he had talked
to a number of interested people.
"We promptly went to tlie Izmisville
& Nashville and offered to hire lawyers
and do everything we could to hack them
up,” Mr. Tway concluded.
It is expected the opposition to the
CliuchtieXrtj^control transfer wilt be giv-
JOtVtt bj, evidence
today or at Home time* later iu tlie hear

PROHIBITION IS N*OT
POPULAR WITH ELKINS
Minister Has Resigned as Assistant State
Superintendent of Anti-Saloon League.
(By tne Associated Press.)
Hartford. Conn., Sept. 25.—Prohibi
tion was criticised “today by Rev. J. Her
bert Elkins, wild has resigned as assist
ant state superintendent of the auti-sar
loon league.
He is quoted by the Hartford Courant
as saying that he has no confidence that
America will stand permamently against
light wines nnd beer; that because lie is
English lie has been > heretical enough to
stand up in meetings of the league and
say: “It will take more than propaganda
to convince me that there is no virtue in
a bottle of Bass.”
' “If I choose to let grape juice fer
ment in my cellar, no 1111)11 has a right
to come into my house and tell me that
1 must no do it.” is another statement
attributed to him.
Mr. Elkins as quoted, expresses fear
•that harm may come to prohibition from
its friends, aud thinks the country would
have been better off had it stopped with
prohibition of saloons and distilled liq
uors. His conception of proper duty of
the anti-saloon league is not a “propa
ganda organization of teetotalling fa
natics.” "v

FINGER READING MORE
THRILLING THAN SIGHT
Greater Concentration Is Possible, Says
Misa Merjvin.
(By the Auaenim Frees.)
I-ouisville, Sept. 25.—Laborious ns
finger reading may appear, it possesses
all the delights and charms that sight
reading gives, and perhaps it has even
an added thrill because greater concen
tration is possible, in the opinion of
-Miss Susan B. Merwin. secretary for.
the American Printing House for the
Blind. M iss Merwin is actively en
gaged in the work at tlie printing plant
here, which is the largest establishment
of its kind in the world.
Tlie embossed book, according to .Miss
Merwin, is the cornerstone of the educa
tion of the blond. The books of the
American Printing House for the Blind
go to libraries throughout this country,
to the Philippines, Hawaii and other dis
tant parts of the world.
The federal government yearly gives
•yYO.OOO toward the upkeep of the .print
ing institution. In addition Vo text
hooks, tlie printing house turns out 'he
best in literature and music, with a con
siderable supply of current fiction.
Through the co-operation of the Amer
ican Bible Society and other organiza
tions. the Bible is made available to the
blind ill several kiuils of embossed print.
The embossed books are necessarily large
and cumbersome. The New Testament
in Revised Braille consists of seven 12
by 14 inch volumes. The Revised
Braille will become after a time tlie one
universal uniform system in use by all
blind readers, according to Miss Mei
" in, who has Hindu qji extensive study
of all systems.
The production of embossed books -: s
a costly process, Miss Mel'ivin says, be
cause of the imiisuaUlffittr involved and
the comparatively small number of
copies required. ,
