EMERSON STILL MISSING.
No Proof at All, His Friends Say. that He
Has Done Anything Wrong.

No word has yet been received at Painfleld
explaining the continued absence of Howard
Emerson. late OF the law firm OF Darlington l.
Emerson. 1l5 Broadway. who left his home in
Plainfleld April % for q Western trip. About
a week ugo his family received telegram
from him. dated Chicago. saying he would be
home soon. but he has not returned. His alb
sence has given rise to rumors that his flnan-
cial standing is involved. and it has been said
that he has specialized with money OF tho
estate OF the late Mrs. Thomas B. Stillman. Of

the action brought by him before Vice Chan
cellor Green or the constituting OF the terms OF

Simply because the decision in this case
happened to be made known about the time
Emerson left town he is accused OF crooked
ness This decision coul have been made by
the Vice Chancellor any day for the past nine
months. AS 2 matter Of fact it was not made
can be no connection between the decision and
his leaving Besi des. the decree has not been

Mr.. Stiilweli, tho lawyer for tho Baptist

An Advance OF 25 Cents u Ton Decided On
TO Take Eject june I.

About seventy-lve members OF the Retail
Coal Exchange and thirty outside dealers
were present at the meeting last night at 1873
East Fifty-eighth street to rass on the PROPOSE
tion to raise the price Of coal to the consumer
The proposition had been discussed at length
two weeks ago. and n resolution advancing
the price had been laid on the table. The rea-
son for this disagreement. it is said. was that
many Of the members were afraid that the out
side element would cut rates and get all the
business. or so much Of it that the Exchange
men would have TO come down again.
Since the last meeting there had been good
deal OF work among he outsiders. and enough
OF the prominent dealers were found who say
that 1t was tor their interest to advance the
price to make the step practicable.
The present rates to the consumer are S5;25
ton for white ash and 81. 10 for red ash. The
on June !. making 1t $500 for white ash and
81 for red ash. One Of the dealers said last
night that he only reason why they made any
difference, in the price Of red ash and white
ash was because they have to pay 30 cents
u ton moro themselves foc red ash. He
thought that the supply OF red ash would run
out In n few years.
Vice President Louis Muller said that the
retailers pay 81. Is Il long ton at Port johnson

The bill introduced into the House OF
Representatives by the Hon. WILLIAM BouRKE
COCHRAN for the removal OF the customs duty
on works OF art ought to become law. It is
unnecessary to repeat the familiar and sufIl-
cent arguments in its favor. Representative
American artists and representatives Of vari-
GUS societies Of American artists have put tho
case before the Ways and Means Committee
this week. The artists for whose supposed
protection and advantage the duty is laid. say
that they derive no protection or advantage
from it. and they want 1t taken of. Certainly
they are the best judges as to its effects upon
them. Besides. its removal is an indispensa-
BILE prerequisite to the gradual establishment
OF such facilities for art education In the
United States as will mako 1t unnecessary for
American art students to get their training in
foreign studios.
AS for the pretence that fine pictures are
luxury OF tho rich In which the great mass OF
the people do not share. that is evident nom
sense. The ultimate destiny OF great works
OF art is public museum.
The duty collected under the present ar
rangement is OF little Importance. There is.
In fact no reasonable cause for opposition to
the passage Of Mr.. CocKRANs bill

ALBANY. May 2O.-Gov Flower devoted the
entire afternoon to tho herring on the Yetman

that the Sailors Snug Harbor was established
for the sole purpose OF maintaining and sup
porting aged. decrepit and worn-out sailors.
and as such was clearly entitled to exemption
from all taxation. Notwithstanding this 1t had
paid taxes every year on q gradually ascend
ing scale. until last year It paid S3O,624.l5 on
an assessed valuation OF S350.00O. Now 1t was
proposed to add 100000 to the valuation. and
in lighting this unreasonable increase tho
trustees had sought the courts TO settle the
