LARGE CITIES ARE
 ROWLING FOR COAL
RAILROADS ARE CoNFIScATlNG COAL FOR THEIR OWN USE, AND THE WEATHER PROMISES TO DROP 15 DEGREES BELOW.

Chicago, H., December 1s.-Chicago is staring a coal famine in the face and 15 degrees below zero Is predicted by the weather bureau within 24 hours. The severe weather and the floods throughout the coal mining districts have tied up railroads to such an extent that ship ment is almost impossible and railroads are confiscating coal as fast as it arrives here.
 At midnight number of coal dealers who had been canvassing the situation in the city, reported that there was not above 30 hours coal supply in the city. If relief does not come before that time there will be much suffering and many manufacturing plants will be forced to close.
 The prediction of the weather bureau was for a new record in low temperature for Chicago in the month of December.

Coming Home for the Ho|i- days But Will Return
HUGHES FEELS CONFIDENT
Vaughan Intends to Be In Perfect Harmony With the Administration and Will Consult Leaders Re-
 garding Future Course.

Washington, December 19.-(SpeciaD- District Attorney Vaughan and Postmas- ter Hughes of Birmingham left for home tonight. They return to Washington im- mediately after the holidays when the latter expects his appointment to be made.
 The President today appointed large number of postmasters but they were confined to these cases over which there was no contest It is understood here that Mir. vaughan's return will be for the purpose of consulting the officials regard ing his future political course.
 MT. Vaughan is to be in complete har- mony with the administration and if 1t is deemed advisable for him to relin- quish the chairmanship of the Republi- can committee and eschew politics, he will of course do so.
 @ On the other hand, if Henry c. Payne the administrations political advisor thinks MT. vaughan's services cannot well be dispensed with he will continue in his present dual capacity
 Collector Bingham Still There.
 Collector Bingham will remain in Washington for few days and will like ly call at the White House to say good bye to the President. Under the law Collector holds his office until successor is appointed, so 1t is.therefore not neces- sary to re-appoint Mir. Bingham if the administration decides to retain him, though reappointments are usually made. The present status of the case Is there fore satisfactory to MT. Bingham as much as he is still holding down the office.
 gomery will renew their fight for MT. Binghams scalp after the holidays.
 It is reported here that Judge Thomas G. Jones has denied that he endorsed Lee Bryan unqualifedly for the Mont gomery Marshalship.
 Bryan Case Mixed.
 It seems that Judge Jones, when asked about the candidates for the position, re- piled that he would endorse Bryan if the charges against him were disproved It seems, therefore. that this case has be- come decidedly mixed between the White House and the Attorney Generals office, as the President told Representative Thompson he mad appointed Bryan on Jones' recommendation.
 The Senate adjourned today without taking any action on the case of District Attorney Reese, against whom charges were also filed.
 Properly speaking. the case of Marshal Bryan is not ye. before the Senate Com mittee for investigation. but Is held in lf.<x fIx ~l R,..~k examination of the case on the part of the President and Attorney General.
 Representative Richardson has gone home for the holidays. His daughter will accompany him upon his return to Wash ington.

Hepburn Determined to Push the Measure Through Con-
 gTsss This Session
DEARMOND CAUSES 4 STIR
In Making Privileged Statement He Took Occasion to Score Post office Department In Strong
 Terms-Adjourned.

Washington, December 1s.-Before the House adjourned today over the holiday recess, a special order was made Tor the consideration of the Nicaragua canal bill beginning on Tuesday, January ', and to continue until the bill Is disposed of, the order not, however, to conflict with rev. enue or appropriation bills.
 During the session MT. De Armond oo- tained unanimous consent to make priv ileged statement. He explained that ru- mors were circulated in his district that he had caused action on free delivery routes to be held up during his absence In the Philippines Those reports he said were circulated by those who lied and knew they lied. He read letters addressed by him to the first assistant postmaster general last April. none of which, he said, has elicited reply. He also had read a letter received by him after his return from the Orient. but dated July B. saving certain rural free delivery route would be established, and another, dated July 6. saying the action spoken of in the letter of July 3 had been "held up to await the final action of the postmas- ter general MT. De Armond said he won- dered whether the postmaster general. who had just announced his purpose of leaving the cabinet, was going because he was wearied by the great labor of solving this question.
 MT. De Armond declared that the de- partment had not treated him frankly, fairly or in manly way" He charged that the conduct of the department was in the interest of certain bosses in Mis- souri, one of whom has hoped to get int O the United States Senate.
 Nicaragua Canal Bill.
 MT. Hepburn asked unanimous consent that the Nicaragua canal bill be made a special order for Tuesday, January 7,and to continue as a special order until dis posed of, not however, to interfere with
 enue or appropriation bills.
 r. Cannon asked whether the passage
 the bill would embarrass the executive
 securing the right of way through
 aragua or Costa Rica.
 IT, Hepburn said legislation would w cede acquisition, the bill itself provid-
 means for the requirement of the
 1t of way. MT. Richardson, the mi
 ity leader said this was in no sense
 ,olitical question and there was no ob-
 tion to the proposition on his side of
 house.
 Ir. Cannon said he was in favor of the
 lding of the canal. but 1t thought
 re should be place to put the canal
 lore it was authorized. As this was q request for consideration, however, he would not object, and the order for con- alteration of the bill was made.

News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.
Leavenworth, Kas., March 20.-The
victory of Warden Tomlinson over the
2S4 convict miners who held Is guards

20 years for highway robbery. Alfred
Hatfield, shot through the leg; was
serving ten years for manslaughter.
Warden Tomlinson led the eight guards
who descended. He climbed up the
shaft alone and reported that the min
ers were in no danger of starving, as
they had decided to kill and eat the
mules. AS he and the guards were low
cred they could hear the miners shout
We've got .'em on the rum" Before
the cage touched the bottom the min
ers armed with picks. crowbars. and
chunks of coal, made a rush at the
guard. you're afraid to shoot" they
shouted. The guards promptly opened
fire and at the first volley the attackers
dispersed in to the dark recesses of the
mine. Warden Tomlinson conferred

OWNS A ZINC MINE
Valuable Development In Mis-
souri, Postmaster at Upton,
Mo-, Diiates on the Rich
ness Of the Mine.

Mansflld, O., March 20.-Attorney
Homer p. Sewell has on exhibition
at his office one of the finest specl-
mems Of lead ore, weighing over 200
pounds, ever produced in the Missouri
lead and zinc district. The spect-
men comes from new territory near
Upton. In Moniteau county.
Associated with Mr.. Sewell in the
ownership of this property are ex.
Senator F. M. Marriott, of Delaware; J.
Monroe Harman, Of the Bissman
Wholesale Grocery company, and w.
8. Cappeller. Mr.. Sewell, while at
Joplin about a year ago learned that
a farmer, while digging we'll at 30
feet, had found what he supposed was
some kind of ore.
Mr.. Sewell went to see the farmer
and after an interview of a day or
two with the owner of the we'll 1t re-
suited in Mr.. Sewell obtaining an op-
ton on the farm Of 240 acres for
year. All last summer and this win
ter work has progressed, proving up
the ground quietly, which is done by
putting down a number of four-inch
drill holes and keeping a log Of the
borings. The option for the purchase
Of the land expired March 1, at which
time the parties paid their money
and took their deed, which, mean
while, had been held by a Upton
bank in escrow.
Mining experts from Joplin and
Webb City who have seen this won
derful development say that it prom
ises to make the four Ohio owners
multi-millionaires. The postmaster
at Upton, in recent letter to Mr..
Sewell, says: ITO tell the truth
about the extent of this rich vein Of
ore would not be believed. and the
Arabian Nights is tame little book
compared with the tale of this mine."
With two miners in the ground
working by hand and a simple horse
power lift they are taking out over
$500 worth of metal every day, while
a conservative estimate made by S.
F. Clark, mayor of Webb City. lead
and zinc mining expert, who has
made an examination of the property,
says with steam power and proper
hoisting apparatus the mine could be
a day. The lead ore as assayed by
the state assayer is pronounced as
running from 68 to 72 per cent pure,
while the zinc ore is equally rich.
A party Of local capitalists are ne
gotiating for the mine and 40 acres
Of the land. the purpose believed to
be to operate the mine and to locate
shafts at the points heretofore drilled,
also to subdivide into mining lots 400
feet square and let in miners to op-
crate on royalties which range from
20 to 80 per cent of velvet to the
owners of the land. A Philadelphia
syndicate is also after a 20-acre tract
adjoining the 40. acres referred to. il
the price can be agreed upon.
Messrs. Harman and Cappeller said
IL all develops as anticipated they
will build and furnish hotel here
that will be credit to the city Of
Mansfield.

Charities Organized to
Relieve Poverty.
CANTON ASSOCIATION
One Of the Most Efficient In the
List--Interesting Notes
From the State
CAPITAL.

From Staff Correspondent
Columbus, March 21.-The quarterly
bulletin of charities and correction,
published by the Ohio board of state
charities, just issued contains much in
formation of general interest BY a
system of charts a comparative study
in outside relief by counties is given.
Stark county Is not included in the
comparisons, probably for the reason
that the infirmary directors failed to
send in an annual report. A number
of counties were derelict in this re-
spect In the distribution of relief Co.
lumbiana and Harrison counties are
classified as fair. The management in
Mahoning county is shown to have been
execrably poor. 1t is evident little at
tention has been paid by this county to
the recently enacted poor laws. Its
showing is as unenviable as that of any
other county in the state, but an i'm
provement is expected this year. JEFF
ferson countys record barely passed for
fair as did Summit county.
In dealing with the state hospitals for
the insane the following concerning the
Massillon hospital is submitted by its
superintendent, Dr. Eyman:
ITO complete the institution, as orr
ginally mapped out, and to balance it
up in accordance with the present
buildings will require one infirmary
building, to accommodate 100 patients,
and one cottage to accommodate rs
patients, for the womens department.
For the mems department we will re-
quire one hospital building, to accom-
modate 40 patients and eight cottages
to accommodate rs patients each. This
will round out the present plans nicely,
and the institution will then have a
capacity to care for 1860 patients with
out crowding, and the per capita cost
of construction, at the present rate,
will be about $620.00; this will include
all buildings, tunnels, boiler equip
ments electrical machinery, kitchen and
laundry outfits, carpenter and machine
shop equipments, and everything prop
erly in the line for construction for a
completed institution. When the char
acter of the buildings is taken into con-
sideration We can positively assert that
no institution in Ohio has ever been
more economically constructed than the
Massillon state hospital, up to its pres
ent partially completed condition"
OF the twenty-eight societies in the
state with the definite object of caring
for the poor, there are twelve associated
charities or similarly named organiza-
tions, one of which is located in Can
ton. The latter association conducts
a free kindergarten and mothers meet
ings. Thus, the betterment and the
education of the poor is accomplished
in other ways than friendly visiting.
Correspondents in some instances give
their opinion of the condition and value
of the work of their respective societies.
The report from Canton says: "Ten-
dency is to pauperize on account Of
vagabond husbands. The society gives
relief only from December to May and
usually confines its help to sick and
aged.
