MAY MEAN SETTLEMENT.
Stratton Will Case Continued to
Last of Month.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Oct. IL
Case continued by agreement until
October 23 at . 80 a. M. J." This was
the order which Judge Seeds this
morning ordered Clerk O. L. Sterrett
of the district court to make in the
hearing of the matter pending between
the executors of the Stratton estate
and the administrators to collect.
When court opened at $3.50 this
morning the attorneys were not ready
and held IA conference. which lasted
until 10 O'Clock At that hour the
court WAS notified and the order is
sued as above.
The air is now filled with rumors
of settlement to be reached before that
date, but all those directly concerned
protest there is nothing in them and
that at the conference this morning
absolutely nothing was done except to
ask for the granting of continuance.
The reason for this interested counsel
refused to reveal.
There seems to be little doubt that
the administrators will resign when
the charges against them are with
drawn.
A great many persous in the city
believe that the hitch is over the APP
pointment of another set of admins
traitors to collect. 1t is said that the
attorney for the contestant are willing
to have two of the executors appointed
to that office, the disagreement being
over the third member.
Should settlement of the will con-
test be made before the time set for
the hearing in the district court there
will probably be no need of making
any appointment, since the executors
win naturally have charge of the
estate under the will.

COAL FUND
FOR The POOR
Joseph E. Bernstein Asks
the Mayor to Act. As
Treasurer.
TO SELL AT HALF PRICE
Even With the Strike Ended,
Mr.. Bernstein Hears Coal
Will Be $40 =. Ton.
TO SELL AT HALF PRICE

Mr.. Joseph e. Bernstein, the promi-
nent merchant of this city, believes that
something must be done to help the poor
people during the coal famine. He has
taken the first step in that direction.
sending the following letter to Mayor
Mark NJ. Fagan:-
Hon. Mark NJ. Pagan, Mayor, City Hall,
Jersey City, N. j.
My Dear Sir-It appears to me that
something must be done and done at
once about coal for Jersey City's poor.
Winter is very near and provision must
be made for those whose misfortune it is
to be unable to pay abnormal prices for
great necessity.
have no time to indulge in theories
as to the rights or wrongs of strikers or
operators. l simply see an unbearable
condition staring in the face of thousands
of our people who have no way to keep
life in their bodies unless an attempt is
made to keep them.
Settle the strike and ship anthracis
tomorrow and there will not be enough
here when winter comes to bring the
price within the means of the worthy
men and women who are compelled to
count each penny before spending it. 1t
will take months to readjust conditions.
MAYOR FOR TREASURER.
1t rests with such of us as can spare
something from our pockets to help those
who always help themselves as far as
they are abl;e and, therefore, I most
respectfully suggest that you act as trea-
surer of fund to purchase coal in the
open market at the best prices obtaina-
BILE and store it in yards convenient for
distribution to the various parts of Jer-
sey City. Doubtless any and all dealers
would be glad to give it room--perhaps
to put their hands in their own coal
pockets and contribute black diamonds
themselves. Let the coal bought by or
given to the fund be sold at half-price
even stretch the figures until they disap-
pear entirely in cases Of illness, self
supporting widowhood and the like.
| beg to enclose you my personal check
for the sum of 500 as a contribution
to such fund as suggest and to
start the ball rolling" trust you will
see your way clear to assume this new
responsibility and to push the matter to
an Immediate conclusion.
Very respectfully yours,
J. Z. BERNSTEIN.
Jersey City, Oct. Z.
Said Mr.. Bernstein to a reporter for
"The News today" Assuming that
the coal strike might be settled in a short
time it will make little difference in the
price of coal
COAL $40 A TON.
Il have inside information to the eff
feet that coal will cost at least $40 a
ton for many months. Somebody might
say-would it not be better to wait until
the price of coal drops before starting a
fund for the relief of the poor2
''The idea is to get the money first,
and think now is the proper time. We
cannot tell how soon Jack Frost is COM
ing"

May Die.

Mrs. Eta Christian and her three
children are under medical treatment at

boken, for poisoning contracted after a

ter Lilly, who is twenty-three years old,
sin a serious condition. The son, Hen
ry, who is thirty, and the daughter, Jen-
ME, fourteen, are also badly affected, but
are expected to recover.
Mrs. Christian who is a widow, bought
the chops in a First street butcher shop
Saturday night for the Sunday dinner
None of the family noticed anything PEE
culiar about the meat while ating it. but
Immediately afterwards all complained
Of feeling unwell
Before night the daughter Lilly was
so i'll that she was obliged to take to her
bed. A physician was called the follow
ing morning and he pronounced all the
family poisoned. The two other children
were obliged to take to their beds Mon
day, the mother being the only one who
was not seriously affected.
Health Inspector Kipp went to the
butcher shop this morning and took
William Stubbman, one of the proprie-
tors, to the Christians home. The mother
identified him as the man who sold the
meat to her.
Stubbman said the meat might have
been slightly tainted when sold, but that
he did not believe it was. He added
that it had probably become affected be-
cause It was not kept on ice after having
been taken home by Mrs. Christian, as he
had used metal skewers in dressing it.
Inspector Kipp examined the butcher
shop closely, but could find no meat to
condemn.
