AS was announced in T he Glob e
nearly month ago the price of hard
coal will advance tomorrow to $7S5 a
ton. The price in the Twin Cities for
April delivery to retail consumers has
been $775, which as prices have been fix
ed by agreement of the producing COM
panies for the year ending April l next,
is the bottom figure for that period. The
increase Of 10 cents for May delivery will
be followed by similar advance for each

there it will remain until April l.
The. foregoing information, which in
substance has already appeared in the
columns of G 10 e, is well known
to those familiar with the situation, but

The act of City Clerk Matt Jensen and

damus should not be issued compelling
him to place Mr.. Freeman's name on the
ticket. The hearing will be held at 8
o'clock.
The question involves a provision OF
the general election law which recites
that no candidate or party shall be en-
Titled to use or have printed on the Of
hclal ballot as a party designation any
name or part of name OF a previously
existing party. Andrew Anderson was
the first to file as a candidate for mayor

FUSED place on the ballot because the
party name confiicted with the one used
by Anderson.
FreemanS contention is that he alone
is entitled to use the word Socialist, as
his party was formed long before the So
claIst Labor party entered the political
arena. There are several nice points in
voIVed and the decision is awaited with
interest.
The printing of the ballots is being
held off, pending the decision of the su-
preme court.

have to go for their coal are simply non

it would not be to the interest of the
companies to have any such state OF

AS the result of recent developments,
through which the Order of Imperial
knights is a thing o. the past, ST. Paul
Commandery No. 2 met at Odd Fellows
hall, Fifth. and Wabasha streets, last
night, with the intended purpose of merg-
ing with the knights and Ladies of Sc
curity. After the meeting had been call
ed to order, however, and the purpose of
the meeting stated, it appeared from the
remarks made by some of the members
that there were two factions, one favoring
the knights and Ladies of Security and
the other the Independent Order of For

ing which those who wanted the COM
mandery to join the Knights and Ladies
OF Security got the worst of the argu-
ment. AT any rate the meeting of the
Imperial knights was finally adjourned
