FOR HONEST WEIGHT IN COAL
Dealers Opposed TO GIeasOn's Bill
and Have u substitute.

President ]. s. smoot. Of the Retail
Coal Exchange, has issued a call for an
important meeting tonight at which the
Spring price-llst will probably be made
up. The Board of Trustees has decided
that = systematic effort should b" made
to put the retail market In "A more pros
porous condition. At present there is "A
deal OF grumbllng among householders
over paying the Winter prices and they
are holding back until the Spring
schedule is adopted.
Despite the fact hat In the call 1t Is
stated that the weight question has been
settled to the satisfaction of ali ny tn.
rejection of all plans and the approval
of the Gleason bill now before the Iegis-
lature the question Is by no means dis
posed OF according to many members
who term themselves the reform element.
Secretary Jeremiah P~angburn. jr., of
COS Greenwich street, said to-day: 1T is
impossible for honest dealers to com
pete with dishonest ones who are enabled
10 cut prices because they give under
weights. The Gleason bill does not fill
the want. 1t falls TO make 1t compulsory
that all dealers wagons carrying coal
must be subjected to Inspection. The
honest dealers will bring forward some
other plan looking to full instead of
short weight"

INDIANAPOLIS, March 16.-Clinton
Cooper, a peddler, died at the hospital
last night. and his death developed a
strange method of self-destruction. He
was found i'll in his room and sent to
the hospital, where he was found to be
in n low state of vitality. but no APP
parent cause existed for it. He was con-
sCious. hut refused to talk, and he swal-
lowed medicine with great difficulty.
He got no relief from the treatment.
and It soon became apparent that he
could live only a few hours. When taken
to the hospital he had "A handkerchief
tied loosely around his neck. and this
was removed by an attendant just be-
fore he died.
Underneath the handkerchief, and al
most buried in his neck, was a small
cord. and it dawned upon the authorities
that he had been slowly dying from
~strangulation ever since he was found
at his boarding-house. There Is no
doubt that he tied the cord himself and
that he chose this method to kill him
self.
