Reed, his cashier, to appear in court

COMPLETE FUEL FAMINE.
New Workers are Confronted with .
Very Serious State of fairs.

New York, Sept. 27.-The coal short
age reached an acute stage yesterday.
The price of soft coal jumped to So
ton, $3.50 more than the price We'd
nesday, and three times as much as
before the strike was inaugurated.
The quoted price of hard coal was SIS,
but it was merely nominal, as there
was absolutely none to be had at any
price. The price of wood followed
coal. Kindling wood selling a few
days ago at $40 a cord, on Friday
brought $12. Practically a complete
fuel famine exists.
Consumers throughout the city had
delayed laying in supply of coal,
believing that the strike would be
settled and prices fall. Dealers as
sert that the supply of anthracite in
the city is not 10 per cent. of the de-
mand, that the present supply of soft
coal is hardly 25 per cent. of the de-
mand. The park department is Sc
riously embarrassed. Ten days ago
contracts were advertised for and
yesterday only one bid was found and
that was for 200 tons of pea coal at
$S.75 per ton, which was quickly ac-
cepted.
A conference of representatives Of
the principal charitable organizations
of the city will be held within few
days to consider the situation result
ing from the coal strike. Many of the
organization made contracts for coal,
but as lnese contain a strike clause,
no supplies will be Forthcoming. In
former seasons the Society for Reliev-
ing the Condition of the Poor, the
United Hebrew Charities, and the st.
Vincent de Paul society have distri-
buted about 1000 tons of coal each,
total of 5000 tons. The charitable
workers estimate that they may have
to provide ten or twenty times the
amount of coal they have given away
in former winters

ANTi-CANTEEN LAW.
Et Is Attacked by Gen. FunstOn-'He
Claims IL Debauches Soldiers, De-
strOys Diciplino and Loads to Many
npaerffnna


Washington, Sept. 27.-Brig. Gen.
Frederick Funston in his annual re-
port for the Department of the Colo
RADIO, points out that the percentage
of trials by court-martial of enlisted
men has nearly doubled during the
past year. He says:
'It is, therefore, plain that there
has been deplorable increase of Of
lenses in general, and of deSertions in
particular. In my opinion there are
two principles causes for this state
of affairs: FIRST, resentment of un-
accustomed limitations and restric-
tions felt by men returning from field
service to the monotony and routine
work of garrison life; second, the abo-
lition of the cantcen feature of the
post exchange. Since this action was
taken, saloons of the lowest type
have been established just outside the
boundaries of the various reserva-
tions; their proprietors, in almost
every case, unprincipled scoundrels,
who leave nothing undone to debauch
the soldiers and obtain their money.
Being in all cases outside the linn
its of any city, the proprietors of
these resorts are subject to no mu-
nicipal police regulations and sell
regardless of hours and whether the
buyer is already intoxicated or not.
Gambling is universal in these dives
and they are frequented by dissolute
women. The soldier whose desire for
a drink ordinarily would be satisfied
by a few glasses of beer in the can
teen post exchange, goes to one OF
these resorts and does well if he
escapes before he drinks or CANDLES
away all his money, has overstayed
his leave or engaged in an alterca-
tion. As n rule the local authorities
regard the existence of these places
with Indifference or approval, as it
causes the soldier to spend his money
in the community. The efficiency of
the army or the ruin of good soldier
is nothing to them.
There can be no reasonable doubt
that most of the trials by general
courts-martial and summary courts,
at least so far as this department is
concerned, are directly traceable to
this cause. Since I have had command
here, there has taken place the ruin
and degradation of several non-com-
missioned officers of long service and
fine record. In short, the recent legis-
lation by congress on this question,
so far as this department is con-
cerned. has had no effect except to
lower the discipline of the army, ruin
scores of good soldiers and fill the
pockets of a lot of saloonkeepers,
gamblers and prostitutes"

RAY OF SUNSHINE.
But 1t Did Not Last Long for tho
Persecuted Roumanian Jews.

Berlin, Sept 26.-The Tageblatt
prints letter from bucharest, capi-
tai of Roumania, dated September -,
as follows:
1.-The Washington note came like
ray of sunshine from a storm cloud
for the Jewish population, especially
the laboring classes, who conceived
the hope that favorable turn must
result from the interference of
mighty America. How naive this un-
happy people are, eagerly reaching
for any straw promising them rescue.
But their jubilation has been of short
duration.
"The only effect the American note
has had so far is an order that no
more emigration passports be issued
without the usual tax of 81. 1t is even
reported that no emigration pass
ports ill be granted. The spirit Of
the government is: we are masters
here Nevertheless, it is disposed 20
be polite toward the United States.
1t intends to show this by preventing
emigration to the United States.
"There is much talk here about
Yankee arrogance but those laughed
in their sleeves so long as the Ameri-
can note was without European sup
port. But the news that England had
followed with a similar step caused
veXation. If the continental powers
act jointly, it is possible that tho
Roumanian Jewish question may be-
come acute. But the government has
had much experience in meeting pro-
tests in behalf of Jews"
Germany has decided not to associ-
ate herself in formal manner with
the American and British protests
against Roumania's treatment of the
Jews. The German government
adopts this attitude, 1t is understood,
Independently Of other continental
powers. No agreement has been
reached in the matter among the
cabinets of the continent.

Convention Was Lively.
Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. 26.-Af-
ter long and laborious session, in
which more oratory and enthusiastic
partisan strife were in evidence than
have been seen in the councils of the
republican party in this state for
many years, the republican state con-
vention yesterday endorsed the sena-
torial candidacy of Gen. Russell A.
Alger, eX-secretary of war, and noml-
mated Judge William L. Carpenter, of
Detroit, for Justice of the supreme
court, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Judge Charles S. Long.
Gen. Ayers friends won a great vic
tory over the supporters of Dexter NJ.
Ferry, of Detroit, the test of strength
having been on motion to adopt the
minority recommendation of the com
mittee on resolutions, to the effect
that no expression of sentiment of
the convention on the senatorial can
didacy of any one be taken.
The test vote, by a roll call of
counties, rejected the minority report
by vote of 427 yeas and 5Ss nays.
The majority report, which indorsed
Gen. Alger, was then adopted without
an opposing vote amid loud and con-
tinued cheering from the Alger sup
porters.
At the opening session of the con-
vention Congressman Hamilton, of
Niles, temporary chairman, made an
address, devoting his time chiefly to
the tariff and trusts, along lines
similar to those of President Roose-
yelt'S recent speeches
The report of the resolutions COM
mittee eulogized the late Senator Nc
MILAN and Justice Long and com
mended the state and national admin
istrations. This portion of the report
was unanimously adopted.
Gen. Duffield, of Detroit, nominated
Judge Carpenter for supreme court
justice. Judge Shepard, of Bay City,
was also presented as a candidate,
but later his name was withdrawn.

TIE Development Of
American Industries
BY CHA RLES r. FLINT
American Merchant Prince.

The rapid development of American export
trade in manufactured merchandise has been due
to a number of causes. The first and fundamental
element is the abundant supply of raw material
within the limits of the United States The sec
ond is the American system of low cost of trans
portation by rail and water, by means of which
the different raw materials necessary to many lines
OF production are brought together at minimum

cade was some four hundred dol
lars less than this bid was but they
would not agree to complete the

money by paying the difference and
getting the buildings up by Janu-
airy first.

IS, 7s3, this bid being nearly two
thousand dollars less than. any other
bid.
Work began on the plant this
morning and If thereds any kind OF
good weather this fall 1t will be hn'
,sned on time. This will give
steady employment at once to
at least fifty men and all who ap'
ply to. the contractors can get en-
ployment.
This new plant will be known as
the Tyler Window Glass Co." Its
buildings will be a substantial du'
plicate of our present. plant. Every,
thing will be first class, substantial
and up to date. The new men who
will work In this plant will begin 10
move In about the first Of the new
year ana a few before that time. .
We congratulate the company
and the citizens In general IN Sc

replacing the loss with new men
who will have permanent employ
ment and move here with the In.
tention of building good homes and
