The petition for the mandanfHs reeited
that the Republican and Democrats OF
the town of Burrillville held their eau
cuses on May IL. and that the Republi-
cans filed their papers within Is days
of the day OF election. The withdrawal
OF two Republican nominees was noted
and also the filling of the vacancies.
Everything done by the officers of the
Republican town committee and caucus
officers was declared to fully comply
with the law.
The Democrats did not agree to this
statement today. for they brought out
proof that the Republicans filed their
papers on Sunday. The petition further
stated that the Democrats did not file
their nominations until May p, when
the time had expired and that the town
clerk had ordered the file mark made,
indicating the papers were filed on the
18th.
What the Republicans contended to-
day was that the town clerk and deputy
town clerk had stated several times that
the Democratic nomination papers had
not been duly filed.
William Blackmar, the deputy town
clerk, happened to be secretary of the
Democratic caucus, and this was the real
cause of the complications that arose.
II was conclusively shown that the
certificate OF nomination and the names
of the candidates were placed in the
town clerks office at Burriiiville on Sat
urday afternoon, May IL.
Deputy Town Clerk William Blackmar
testified that certain papers produced
were the certificate and nomination papers
of the candidates nominated at the eau

graph operators, representing the men
employed on the Illinois Central railroad,
have met representatives of the COM

required to work. They have the sup.

boost in the price OF coal was somewhat
in the nature of n philanthropic move
ment on their part.
There has not been an ounce of hard
coal brought TO this port since the be-
ginning of the strike In the anthracite
regions. nor is there any probability thai
there will be any shipments to eastern
points for a considerable period after
the strike is ended.
This condition OF affairs, coupled also
with the fact that for nearly a month
previous TO the time the strike was de-
clared shipments to this port had been
away below the average. induced the To-
cal dealers TO be careful of their supplies
on hand.
Just as soon as the strike was de-
clared" said the representative OF one of
the largest companies in the city today
I'VE were besieged with orders from we'll
to-do people for large amounts of coal
1--WE very naturally advanced the price
25 cents a ton. but as this did not stop
the unusual demand we made an addi-
tional advance of 50 cents per ton.
"As IL is, Providence people are paying
anywhere from 81 TO 50 per ton less than
no probability that there will be any fur
ther advance, but rather a decline. the
demand has quite naturally fallen off.
"Of course, we are not yet limiting
buyers in the amount of their purchases.
but we would much rather not fill any
large orders at present"
SOFT COAL JUMPS.
While there Is more soft coal coming
to this port than before the price is
jumping. and dealers hesitate TO make
contracts.
Bituminous coal is 70 cents per ton
higher than one week ago. There are a
few scattering strikes I'm the soft coal
mining regions but this hardly explains
the advance.
III was said that in anticipation of low
er frieghts. manufacturers bought spar
ingly during April Rates have sagged
and are now much lower. but the demand
has been so enormous as to cause a
boom In soft coal.

said William A, Brady. II have had
good fortune with 1t. Mrs. Lottie
Blair Parker, who brought me one of
the greatest successes of modern times
in Way Down East has given me
another play, Under Southern Skies
which will prove a great winner also
Mrs. Parker" he continued, has
the right idea of construction. She
knows what you must have in a play.
She realizes that. for her kind of play,
at all events, you must have a comedy
effect follow a serious moment, one
after the other-fat and lean streaks
of emotion, If l might put 1t that way.
She is good at a climax; brings it on
without letting everybody see what she
is working up to. And she is ingeni-
Gus. too, at giving them unexpected
turns"
Very true. Mr.. Brady; but wherein
do you find her work different from a
mans work."
Mrs. Parker constructs like
man." Then, with lighting up of the
face. like all women, she wants the
woman to have the best of it."
Don't they generality"
"Of course they do. but I mean that
the mark of the woman dramatlst Is
that she wants to get back at man,
to shown him what a poor little pussy
of martyr woman is. She likes to
rub in the wrongs of her sex. The
poor girl can't be made to suffer too
much. They like to consider a woman
as being held by a man as toy and
then when he is tired of the plaything
flung aside and left to black ruin"
THAT is an important difference,
Mr.. Brady. What else?"
''Well"-and the versatile actor-man
ager sat back and bit his nails contem-
platively-"they are great at detail.
They will have this little thing and
that little thing on the stage just so.
They will fret If the tides on the fur
niture are not of certain pattern;
they fuss about chairs and tables; they
will hug themselves over a lamp shade
and will purr like pleased kittens when
they have matched colors in curtains
and sofa backs. There is only one
male dramatist who can take the pains
to do that mean to reach the same
stage results-and that's Clyde Fitch.
He's a wonder at it."
