Fuel scarcity is still a serious Industrial

soft coal and coke and despite new records
Cf output deliveries are utterly Inadequate
owing to the lack of motive power. The in
creasing call for transporting facilities on

Notwithstanding the congestion railway
earnings thus tar reported for August show

agricultural products, yet no sever loss Is
reported. Current trade la of good volume

well auetalned prices.
As the blast furnace capacity of thl
country decreases through want of fuel

cause of the steady demand. Domestic

HOGAN NO MATCH FOR ENGLISH
Kneehed Oat la the Fifth Roaad ef
a Fast Flarht at At

egram.) In the presence of an Immense
crowd of people, wrought to the highest
pitch ot excitement by the terrlflo fighting
of the men, Clarence English of Omaha
knocked out Billy Hogan of Ban Fran
cisco In the fifth round. After th first
round both men were bleeding freely and
Hogan waa in distress from English's
heavy swings on th body, but he fought
gamely, although somewhat groggy, after
the third round. In the fourth English
reached him on the chin with an upper
cut, scoring a clean knockdown, but Ho
gan rose on the ninth count and kept
away during th remainder of the round.
In the fifth Hogan wa knocked down and
took the full time before getting up, but
wee no more than fairly on hi feet when
English turned him halfway around with
a right on th wind, and followed It with
a left upper cut to the Jaw. Hogan went
dow-n like a log and waa only able to rise
to hi hand and knee to be counted out.
Hogan nose waa broken daring th sec
ond round.
Hogan a manager offer to bet $600 that
English can knock out Australian Billy
Murphy In two rounds. Lex Clayton, the
