In th?> meantime, the switch in the 'low volatile, or smok lean Wwl Virginia coal.-* Is so pro nounced thai it has lt d to rumors, an yet" unsuhstant iated. of a huK?' ?oft coal merger. This consollda tion of concerns in West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky, ii is as sorted, would Involve beiw.cn 20 nnd 30 mines with lu avy capitali sation. Refrigeration Is causing the an thracite industry almost an much anxiety an the heating situntlon. <Jas fired domestic refrigeration is now an accomplished fart, accord ing to prominent engineers, who InvcstiKt'-'d the subject for the American (?hs Association. The gas system of refrigeration Is or the absorption type, whereby am monia Ib absorbed into water nnd then released. It differs from the electric process which uses com pression instead of abaorbtlon. H, Dewitt Valentine, an ? ngin eer of Chicago, predicts that whole building will !>;? artificially cooled by gas during hot weather. Tho gradual diversion of ?as from an illumlnant to use as a fuel seems likely to contlnu< ?t an increased rate. At least 25 per cent of the gas produced now is uaed for industrial purposes. Mechanical engineers ar<- urging, this trend. owing to the ir<-nifii doua waft** involved in the loss of by-products when coal is burned without attempt at processing. When coal Is made into Kan, 1 2 gallons of coal tat are prov-ri 1.1. from which thousands of by-prod ucts are manufactured. In New York Mato alone over $100,000,000 additional capital will be invented by public utilities companies In expanding their fa cilities.

There has Just !>???? n put into operation In the northern . part of the stale, a Central plant which serves six elites and this trend is being followed In nil heavily populated districts. % The large number of consum ers who are stockholders of pub lic utility companies, are doing their part In lowering coal con sumption. since they feel that they at lea?t have a voice in m gotia ? lon.B which affect. their health and comfort. There are now over 2. 600.000 consumer-stockholders of utility companies in the country. The development of the oil electric locomotives Is diverting millions of tons of coal from the railroad bins. Two great rill sys tems have put such engines into commission in the last month and report theni giving utmost satis faction. It is assorted they can bv operated at half the cost of the coal burning, steam locomotive, and It Is stated by bankers close ly affiliated with railroad financ ing. that a g as electric car of 200 borsapower will replace a steam locomotive costing $1.50 a mile to operate. These facts m-c llkelv to form a background In ^he minds of the ' anthracite conferees when they got together today. < \ I Q| I NSI It N \? t .WUCXT is ruNTIM KD Ths case of J. J.

AUDIT OF BANK'S RESOURCES NOW UNDER WAY HERE President P. H. Williams, of Savin#* Bank & Tru*t Company, N ,\p|H?inlod Temporary Receiver HEARING JANUARY 8 Hope Hold Forth That De* ponitorH May he Prelected in Full; Nothing Definite Disiloncd Yet An audit of the financial con dition of the Albemarle Hunk, col ored institution which cloned its doors on Christmas Eve through lack of funds to meet incoming ; checks, was being made Tuesday following appointment of F\ H. ! Willlami. president of the Sav ings Hank & Trust Company, as temporary receiver. Thus far. nothing definite has been disclosed as to the condition of the bank, or the extent to which depositors will be protected. The appointment of Mr. Wil liams as receiver wus made Mon day night by Judge Henry A. Grady, presiding over the term of Superior Court now under way here after a survey of the situa tion by Clarence Latham, chief bank examiner for the State. Mr. Latham came from Kalelgh Mon day. and returned that night. A? matters stand, a definite an nouncement as to the condition of the hunk will await the outcome of the audit now being made by W. s. Conner, of the Frank h, Mill Company, certified public accoun tants of Charlotte. The State . Hanking Commission has taken charge of the bank's affairs. A final hearing on It is scheduled for Friday. January k. The throwing of the bank Into a receivership Ik taken as an Indi cation that it will not reopen for business. However. In the event that the audit discloses that its 1 condition Is such as to warrant its continuance in business. It is re garded as likely that the utock holders may make an arrangement whereby the present shortage of funds may be relieved pending col lection of outstanding loans. The Albemarle Hank's embar assment Is ascribed to the fact that It* funds largely are tied up In long term real estate loan*, us ually safe enough as Investments, but difficult to realize upon in an emergency. Strong hope |R held forth that all depositors may be taken care of In full. The hearing January 8 prob ably will close in the appointment of a permanent receiver perma nent in the sense thai he will he employed until the bank's affairs have been settled ~to replace I he temporary receivership created through th naming of Mr Wll Hams Monday night. It wax stated Tuesday. KIGHT INJCKKI) AS TRAIN* IS DKKAII.KI) Florence. s V .

A telegram from Hatteras vil lage, some 15 miles below Cape Hatteras. last night brought the i information that Stowe and Has ten had arrived th? re safely ami ' would lie back as soon as possible. I Stowe and Haskett aru each about 25 years old. They lelt in |Stowe's speed boat, one of the fastest in these waters, about 1 1 io'clock Saturday morning. The run to Hatteras village Is nearly jlOO miles, and they expected to I arrive there some time In the af jternoon. in ample time for supper. They carried no provisions.

Sunday afternoon came and went, and Mrs. Latsiter had re ceived no woid from her brother. Meanwhile the sharpest cold snap in many years had descended over this sictlon late Saturday uij'.ht. Sunday -was bitterly cold. That night passed, and still Stowe failed to arrive. Thoroughly alarmed. Mrs. l<as slter wired her father. Captain 11. F. Stowe, at Hatteras.

Later In the afternoon sh n received a second wire from him. bearing 'the news that he and her brother. Samuel Stowe, had gone out to 1 look for them. Meanwhile Seventh District Headquarters of the Coast Cuard here was notified, and Lnslgn J. A. Pliee, superintendent. Imme diately set into motion the ma chinery of the organization along the Hatteras Hanks with the hope of locating the missing youths. He telephoned all the hanks sta tions. and Manteo and Wancheee. on Roanoke Island. None rould ? give any Information. Captain Martin Johnson, of the steamer Trenton, which runs be tween this city and Manteo. in formed Ensign Trice that the youths and their boat had not i been sighted either on the south ward run Saturday, or on either trip Monday. The impression at 'Coast Cuard headquarters was ! that the little speed boat had de veloped engine trouble, and had put Into Stumpy I'oint.

These points had been vlr-* tually cut off from communication with the outside world as a re sult of the cold snap The wire to Mis.
