CHICAGO WILL HAVE
ABUNDANT COAL SOON
Critical Period of the Fuel Shortage
Is Now Reported to Be
0uar

CHICAGO. Dec. A.-Chicago has passed
the most serious aspect Of the coal short
age and after Monday manufacturing es-
tablishments and big downtown buildings
will be in a better position to fight the
possibility of anything approaching a
famine.
The coming Of Sunday and the appar-
ent break in the cold spell are the two
things that coal men believe will bring
about this change in conditions. To-mor-
row the great majority Of the coal sup
plies of various plants will remain undis-
turbed and within the next forty-eight
hours the railroad managers say that
they will be able to pour enough soft coal
into the city to prevent any further
shortage.
The actual shortage, and a scare result
ing from it. accompanied by a frantic
rush for coal by the owners Of office
buildings and factories, have combined to
disrupt prices and derange the fuel scales
worse than at any time during the year.
All kinds of prices have been asked and
paid within the last two days.

DENIES
BEING VENOMOUS
Attorney Says He Did
Not Intend to Show
Contempt.

The hearing of the petition for q writ
Of habeas corpus filed by Attorney Rob-
ert Ferral, who hopes by means Of the
writ to escape punishment for contempt
of court, was heard by Judge Graham
yesterday. Samuel NJ. ShOrtridge and ex-
Judge D. T. Murphy addressed the court
in support of the petition.
Murphy said he was sure his client. like
himself, had all the respect in the world
for Judges both on and of the bench, and
never would Intentionally cast odium upon
them nor offend the dignity or the feel
ings of the bench in any way. I am
sure,'' said Murphy, that Mr.. Ferral
meant nothing by his remark to Judge
Dunno that could be construed into con-
tempt"
Shortridge spoke in the same half-apol-
ogetic strain and then raised the point
that as contempt of court is crime that
Judge Dunno had no right to fine Ferral
without trial or hearing.
Ferral was placed on the stand and ex-
arnined by Assistant District Attorney
Greaney. Greaney asked the witness II
it was not so that 'his remark to the
Judge was not occasioned by venomous
feeling"
"Venomous," exclaimed Ferral. 'T am
sure that my remark was not prompted
by any such feeling
The case was continued at this point
until tomorrow at p. m.

GLORY TO THE BoERs

In every land where freedom reigns
Where men are best and free,
Who hate the despots CALLING chains
And loveth liberty;
Their eyes are turning t'ward the war,
On Afric's distant shores,
And loud their voices swell afar--
Glory to the Beers.
True heroes who have never felt
The shivering throbs of fear,
Whose home is where the savage dwelt,
For ages dark and drear,
While by their unerring aim,
There many spirit scars,
That watts from off the field of shame
Glory to the Beers.
Oh, England where thy boosted might,
Thou'rt worn and humbled now,
And glory's bright enhancing light
Is fading from thy brow
The nations now no longer fear
Thee strike their girded shores
Whel 'er thy frowning warships steer
Glory to the Beers.
For ages thou hast scattered fear
Mid nations of the world,
Where'er thy banner did appear
Der land and waves unfufl;
And fled before thy angry gaze
Which swept their rugged shores
Oh whore the terror of those days?
Glory to the Beers.
Thou art an empty braggart land
! For ages drenched with pride,
While all thy martial Wanting band
Were never fairly tried;
Before feeble valiant race,
Thy fame in battle lowers
Who've fought and smote thee face to
face,
Glory to the Beers.
Where is the kna7e that dare deride
The loyal gallant band?
Whose courage has been truly tried
For their dear Fatherland;
Assembling at their country's call.
When battle madly roars-
Oh matchless heroes one and all,
Glory to the Beers.
Shame on the nations great and brave,
Who gaze with cruel eye,
Where England's bloody banners wave
Where patriots gladly die
Oh where Columbia, freedoms land,
Whose flag for justice scars?
Old England bows to thy command
Glory to the Beers
The land that oft in faded days
Has stayed the tyrant's sword,
Whoever to her homage pays
When e'er her voice he heard.
Oh, speak aloud, for freedom, right,
On Afric's wailing shores,
For England fears thy conquerinI
might
Glory to the Beers.

CRAY DEAD
Tie End Came Suddenly While on
a Visit to Newton, Mas
sachusetts.
A WELL-KNOWA ELECTRICAL INVENTOR.
Many of the Appliances In Common
Use Now Are the Fruit of His
GeniUs-He was Also an Author on
the Subject of TeIegraphy and
Telephony.

Newton, Mass, Jan 22.-Prof. Eli
sha Gray, of Chicago, who was as
ISOLATED with Arthur j. Mundy in the
perfection of system for submarine
signaling, died suddenly at Newton
vile Sunday night.
Prof Gray was associated with
Porf. Alex Graham Bell in the per-
lection of the telephone and had been
east about a year and half in con-
nection with the invention of sub
marine signaling. He was stricken
while on the street. He was picked
up in an unconscious condition and
carried into a neighboring house,
where he died. Prof. Gray had been
visiting Arthur j. Mundy and his
brother in Newtonville, and had made
arrangements to proceed to Maine.
During the afternoon, Sunday Mr.. Gray
complained of feeling i'll and con-
suited DR.. Talbot, who told him he
had slight acidity of the stomach.
Neuralgia of the heart is assigned as
the cause of death.
Elisha Gray was one of the best
known of the electrical inventors of
the day. He was born in Ohio, in 1885,
and learned blacksmithing, carpentry
and boat building. He then pursued
special studies in physical science at
Oberlin college.
In 1867, he began his series of in
ventions with self-adjusting tele-
graph relay, and two years after he
established manufactaxy of electri-
cal apparatus at Cleveland. He per-
fected the typewriting telegraph, the
telegraph repeater, the telegraphic
switch and annunciator and other de-
vices.
In 1872 he organized the Western
Electric Manufacturing Co., but re-
tired from it in 1874. He invented his
speaking telephone in 1876, and thg
telautograph in 1893 His name came
very prominently before the public in
connection with the great suit over
telephone patents. He organized the
congress of electricians, in connec-
ton with the Worlds Columbian ex-
position in 1898, and was it's chair.
man. He was the author of several
works on the subject of telegraphy
and telephony.
