COAL PRICES co UP.
The Trust Will Make Raleigh
Pay High Toll.
Anthracite is Scarce and il May Cost Ten
Dollars Ton at an EARLY

People in Raleigh expect to use hard
coal this winter are up against high
price proposition for certain.
1t is not the local dealer who is going
to cause the trouble by pushing up the
price, but it is the coal trust, which is
using the strike in Pennsylvania as the
basis OF the raise. For sometime no coal
has been mined and even if mining We're
to be resumed this week the price is eX-
pected to still be up, for the anthracite
mine owners will see to it that the pub
lie pay toll for them because of present
conditions. There is no coal famine here
just now for there is little demand for
hard coal. B. w. Baker, one of Raleigh's
dealers, has none on hand, Johnson and
Johnson have some ten to fifteen tons,
while Jones e. Powell have about two
hundred tons on hand. The price here now
ranges about $3.50 a ton, and by com
parison this is lower than Norfolk, where
it has jumped from Sc. SO to $500 a ton and
is still a climbing, with very short
supply on hand. But dealers here say it
may go to $40 ton.
Last year anthracite was sold here
about this time at 1925 to $3.50 a ton re-
tail, while buyers in big lots could get it
at 1915. There is about 1900 tons of
anthracite used here each year, and
about $500 tons of btiuminous coal. This
is now quoted at $3.50 a ton. 1t has
gone up somewhere, as has also steam
coal, the price of this on the cars in large
lots to the power plants being $3.65 as
against 3.45 a short time ago, and ad-
vance of twenty cents on the ton.
"All the prices are bound to go up,
said a Raleigh dealer yesterday. can
thracite will lead and the mine owners
seeing the demand for a steam and splint
coal increasing coal with the supply of
splint coal short also will be sure to go
UP on the price. We get this in Raj
eigh from West Virginia, and if we
have to go to the Tennessee mines, the
increase in freight rates will cause an in
crease of price.
What an amount of money the trust
will squeeze out of Raleigh at the
increased rates can be seen when the
figures are examined. Say that 1000 tons
of anthracite coal are used here, and that
the average price paid last year, be-
tween those who bought in large guam
titles and the small consumers, was $500
a ton. At $3.50 ton it means $4,000
more money, 5000 will make it $4,000
and if it does climb to 500 as one dealer
suggested at means that Raleigh is to
pay 10000 more for its hand coal this
year than last.
Then to these figures is to be added
the increase on bituminous coal. Even at
an advance of fifty cents ton and If it
moves up a dollar it is $4,000, this with
out counting the increase in steam coal,
which has already advanced twenty
cents on the ton. The outlook is that the
trust will make the people burn in
more ways than one this winter.

STRIKERS WIN SUIT.
Judge M'Pherson of Federal Court
Hands Down Decision.

Des Moines, Dec. 4.--Judge Smith
Mcpherson handed down a decision in
the case of the Illinois Trust and Saw
ings bank, trustees, against S. X. Min
ton and others, in which he announces
that the complainant has no standing
in court. The suit was brought by the
trust company as trustee for the Iowa
Telephone company, the complaint al
leging that the defendants had unlaw
fully conspired by means of boycott
picketing and other means to destroy
the telephone company's business and
praying that an injunction issue re!
straining the defendants from a con-
tinuance of the alleged unlawful acts
Judge Mcpherson in his decision
does not enter into the merits of the
case at all. None Of the evidences OF
the alleged conspiracy in which the
local Trades and Labor assembly and
other labor organizations were said to
be parties was considered. The court
holds that the action hinges entirely
on the question whether or not the
plaintiffs in the suit we're the proper
plaintiffs to maintain the action.
According to the facts set forth in
the decision the complainant was
trustee appointed under a mortgage
contract to conserve the interests of
the holders of bonds issued to secure
the mortgage. Its powers do not ex-
tend beyond those Of a mortgage and

ers, although requested to do so, the
trust company is not party in inter

tiff. Summing up, Judge Mcpherson
says:
Il therefore conclude that the com
plainant has not by its bill and the
evidence as the. case stands such an
interest, and particularly under the
powers and rights conferred by the
trust deed to enable 1t to maintain
this action. The restraining order
made by the circuit judge will remain
in force for fifteen days and will then
be REGARDED as vacated unless within
that time the bill shall be amended
and evidence filed showing right to
it to maintain the action"

HAPPENINGS IN
HAWkEYEDOM
What Has Been Going on
During the Past
Week.
HOLADA GETS LIFE SENTENCE
Murderer of Farmer gallagher Given
the Limit of the Law-Plea for Glenn
ency Has No Eject on Judge Wade
Mrs GaIlaugher Missing.

Iowa City, Dec. 6.-Charles Holada,
alias Harry Moore, was sentenced to
hard labor for life in the penitentiary
at Fort Madison. Sentence was given
under plea of guilty of murder in the
second degree.
In his plea for mercy Senator Ranck
attorney for Holada, declared his client
had been led into the plot against
James Gallaugher's life step by step.
He declared that guilty wife was be-
quilting Holada into the net wherein he
became enmeshed. He declared that
the people of the community where
Gallagher lived were incensed by the
acquittal of Mrs. Gallagher. He said
he had entered a plea of guilty for his
client for the purpose of averting an
expensive trial and thought this should
operate to secure clemency for him.
Judge Wade then proceeded to i'm
pose sentence. He said the crime was
one Of the most cold blooded in the
history of the state.
AS for Mrs. Gallagher, he said the
records of the court showed that jury
had pronounced her innocent of the
murder and he could not go back of
that.
Although prominent citizens had
filed a petition urging clemency in
Holada's behalf and had argued that
his action in pleading guilty to save
the taxpayers the expense of a long
trial should be considered in this con-
nection, Judge Wade said this had no
bearing on the merits Of the case, that
he must impose sentence in accord
ance with the law and the plea of
guilty.
He said he could not question
whether the trial jury in the case of
Mrs. Gallagher had made a mistake;
that 1t was his duty to impose a life
sentence on the prisoner. Holada' s
appeal bond was fixed at $4,000.
Attorney Holbert, who defended Mrs.
Gallagher, declared he does not know
where she is now, though he believes
her uncle could tell. He still insists,
however, that she would appear for
trial for perjury in February If her
bond will be fixed at $500, and the sure
ties which he can furnish would be ac-
cepted. County Attorney Zmunt has
thus far refused to accept such bond
or to postpone the case until Febru-
airy. He demands an immediate trial
and insists that the officers leave 10
stone unturned to locate and arrest
Mrs. Gallagher Some say she is in
Kansas, some in Illinois, some in
South Dakota and others in Missouri.
while a number believe she fled to
Canada.
