COAL DEALERS DISPLAY
CAUTION IN MAKING BIDS
Award of Contract for Supplying Fuel
to Boys Reform School
Is Delayed.

The award of the contract for supply
ing fuel for the next year to the Boys
Reform School. on the Bladensburg
Road. has been delayed, pending devel-
opments IN the coal strike situation.
Bids were advertised for by Col. Cecil
Clay to furnish the coal as needed. to
the approximate total of 600 TONS The
bids were received at the Department
of Justice up to noon of last Wednes-
day. Several firms stated their rates.
while others asked that the bidding be
held open indefinitely pending the set
tlement of the coal strike. Still another
dealer presented bid for a, temporary
supply. based on present conditions.
thus taking no risk on being caught in
coal famine and financially squeezed
because of his contract.
So far no action has been taken on
making the award Colonel Clay be-
lieves it advisable to act very deliber-
ately in the present crisis. at least for
week or so, in order to see whether
the present strong efforts to settle the
strike will prove availing. No action is
therefore Immediately expected, as the

WASHINGTON MAY
ACT AGAINST HAITI

of foreign powers all the time being
concerned.
The report now in circulation goes sc
far as to declare that unless the Hal
tians accede to the demands of the
United States, and, in slang parlance.
stop their scrapping." a fleet will be
sent to Haitian waters to enforce the
demands. 1t also states that certain
officers have been advised to hold them
selves in readiness for such action.
The story, when presented to Secre-
tary Moody yesterday, was emphatically
denied by that official, who declared
that the United States had no thought
of Intervention in Haitian affairs other
than to see that the rights of American
citizens were protected. This Govern
ment has already recognized the provis-
ional government of Haiti as the gov
ernment of the republic. Secretary
Moody states that the purpose of the
circulation of reports of this character
is the self-concern of those who have
interests at stake in the island and
would like to see the United States in
tervene.
Fear Annexation.
1t is known that many of the Hal
tians look with apprehension upon the
United States. fearing that it is the
purpose of this country to annex the
island. Among the more ignorant o.
the people the belief prevails that ne
groes are ill-treated in the United
States, and some of them actually think
that negro slavery still exists here, and
they fear that the inhabitants of the
island may become slaves If the United
States obtains possession.
The report in circulation yesterday
went so far as to say that if Haiti re-
fused to acceds to the demands of the
United States within reasonable time
the result would be conflict. in
which the end would be the annexation
of the island, or at least the Haitian
end of it.

Government Said to Fear
Move by European
Power.
ANNEXATION MIGHT FOLLOW
Aggressive Action by Germany in the
Crete Pierrot Incident Brings
Home the Possibilities Which Night
Arise From Revolutions.

A report was in circulation yesterday
in semi-official circles to the effect that
the United States is preparing to send
an ultimatum to the Haitian govern
ment informing the people of that dis
turbed island that they must cease their
profitless warfare and establish stable
government. Rumor has it that the
cause of this anticipated action on the
part of this Government is the fear that
some European power, under cover and
pretense of protecting the rights and
property of its citizens, may overstep
the bounds of the Monroe doctrine.
While this Government approves the
course of Germany in destroying the
Crete-a-P -Pierrot and administering a les
son to such irresponsibles as those rep
resented by Admiral Killick, it is feared
that with continued strife among the
inhabitants of such republics az Haiti
this country might in some way become
involved in foreign war. With for
eign interests continually in jeopardy in
these republics by reason of continuous
conflict between opposing factions. it
would not be surprising If some ag-
gressive power like Germany were to
20 too far in the matter of protecting

SHORT STORIES FROM
THE SMALL AD. PAGE

The promoters of large enterprises
are usually reluctant to discuss the
hethods adopted by them to attain their
ends. and one of the most successful of
them. In reviewing past experiences the
other day with a party of intimates.
positively refused to let his name be
USED III connection with a story of the
manner in which a three-liner on the
small ad. page of The Times effected
one OF the largest real estate deals In
the history of the city. The story is
nest interesting. however. even without
his name
The negotiations had been in progress
for several weeks, and number OF
prominent New Workers had agreed to
advance the necessary money on q GER
tain date, but through a combination of
circumstances the draft did not arrive
in time, and the Washington man who
was engineering the deal was informed
that other parties were after the prop
erty. and that if second payment was
not made by $3.50 O'Clock the following
morning the property would be sold to
other parties.
This word reached the promoter late
in the afternoon. He knew that there
was practically no possibility of reach
ing the New York people that night,
and the morning would be too late II
he should go to any of the people from
whom he would probably be able to Sc
cure the money, 1t would disclose his
plans ard probably interfere with them.
He accordingly hurried to The Times
Office and inserted short notice call
ing for $50, 900 for immediate use, on the
most approved security
Within an hour after the paper was
off the press he called at the office. but
there were no replies. He repeated his
call several times with the. same re-
suit. Finally. as he was about giving
up and going home for the night an
elderly gentleman called out an ad
dress as he handed over the coun-
ter a letter. 1t was the reply for
which the promoter had been wait
ing. He was stopping at one of the
hotels, and thither the two repaired
after the advertiser had made himself
known. The plan and the situation were
laid before the man of money, who
proved to be one of the New York mep.
who had come down to look over the
ground himself, and when the doors OF
the Office of the sales agent were opened
the following morning the money was
paid down and the deal was closed
Within the following two years over
s., 900 900 was made on the deal by the
syndicate. all of which would have been
lost had it not been for the little ad.
