COAL FAMINE NOT FEARED
Local Dealers DO Not Anticipate a
Rise in Price.
But Little of the Bituminous Prod
Uct Consumed in This City
Strike Not Felt Here.

A coal famine is not imminent in the
District OF Columbia This statement is
made on the authority of several coal deal
ers on whom a reporter for The Times
called last night.
Only small percentage OF the coal which
is used in Washington is OF the bituminous
class. and the supply CT this is IN excess Of
the demand The only soft coal used in
the District is Toy the Government depart
ments, brewefies, foundries and steamboats,.
A number OF big business houses make
steam for heating purposes with soft coal,
but there is no demand OF this character
just now. Business houses are making
small demand for soft coal with which to
run elevators and electric d dynaInos, but thai
is an.
Mr. V. Baldwin Johnson told The Times
man last night that there is no famine
and that none is threatened. All orders
Cor soft coal are being met and there is
no scarcity OF bituminoUS coal in sight.
The only prospect OF rise in price
which ] can see,'' said Mr.. johnson, lis

ed between the operators and the miners.

rise in price. For a long time back the
condition Of the bituminous trade has
been unsatisfactory beth TO the operators
and 10 the carriers, and look for an ad-
5ustnent OF tariffs"
Mr.. George KinSsbury stated that no
uplift in plice had taken place and none
was in prospect. The strike had had no
effect on the coal supply OF Washington.
and MI. Kingsbury did not think that it
would be felt here. He believed that the
strike would be settled long before Wash
ington got hungry for soft coal, so little.
comparatively, of that character of carbon
being usedi in this city
Nr. William Muirhead was not afraid
OF cnsI famine. There was no indication
that anybody would want for coal in
Washington. Very little coal at all was
being used or would be needed for some
months and then Washington as a rule
burned anthracite and not bituminous
coal.
Charles H. Fishbaugh talked along the
same lines and felt that no famine was
at hand
John G. Allen also said that he had
10 fear OF a soft coal famine Just now.

Altoona Man Arrested on Complaint
of His Wife.

Oliver G.. May, a printer, or Altoona,
Pa, was arrested and locked up at No.
2 station last night on warrant sworn
out by his wife. Mrs. Annie l.. May, charg
ing him with assault and battery.
The arrest is the cuimination of an al
legged system of persecution on his part
toward his wife, who has been rendered
almost an invalid by his conduct. They
were married in Altoona about nine years
ago. May soon contracted the liquor habit
and began to ill-treat his wife.
On several occasions lie threatened her
life, and once he fired revolver at her.
His conduct finally became unbearable,
and, leaving her eight-year old child with

waiting at the corner of Seventh and @
streets. and when Mrs. May was passing
her husband seized her and attempted to
force her into tie vehicle. She managed
to escape him, and on the advice Of her
relatives here had a warrant sworn out
the following Monday for his arrest.
Mrs May said to Times reporter last
night that she was reluctant to cause her
husbands arrest, but was obliged 10 do SO

NO EVIDENCE OF ROBBERY
Suspicions i'm the Case of Suicide
Brunn Not Verified.
Only SMALL Amount of Money on
His Person When the Collector
Jumped Into the River.

Aaron Brunn, the aged collector who
committed suicide last Monday, was not
robbed. This fact was pretty well estab-
lisl.ed last night by Detective Horne, who
has been Investigating the case at the re-
quest of Brunn's relatives, who, from
papers found in the old mans pockets,
gained the Impression that he had d con
siderable sum Of money In his possession.
The caase for this belief was the fact
that in one of the pockets OF the dead mans
coat as found bank book containing 4
deposit slip for S4S2.S0, but NO CORE
spending money or checks could lie found.
Their suspicious were also further aroused
when ii became known that MI. Charles
Willis an insurance agent, had paid him
1913 less than an hour before he had
taken his fatal plunge into the river,
Detective Home, after making careful
investigation of all the circumstances OF
the case, arrived at the CONCLUSION that
Brunn had left his office with the inten-
tion OF going to the National Bank OF
Washington and was suddenly seized with
fit OF insanity, and instead went directly
to the river On the bridge he met
william Pratt and John Bird.
A few moments later they heard the
splash and looking over the rail sa W
floating on the water what appeared TO
them to be a banknote. IL is believed
that Brunn held the money in his hand
when he jumped, and the money Mr.. Willis
gave him is thus accounted for. As for
the larger amount, this he never had, &C
cording 10 all his books.
