LORD HELP THE
NEW YORK POOR
Price Of Coal Advancing by
Leaps and Bounds.
DEMAND CANNOTBE SUPPLIED
SERIOUS PROBLEM AT THE BE-
GINNING OF WINTER.
DEMAND CANNOT BE SUPPLIED

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The coal
N shortage reached an acute stage
today The price of soft coal
jumped to IS ton. $3.50 more than the
price. Wednesday. and three times as
much as before the strike was begun.
The quoted price of hard coal was SIS
but it was merely nominal, as there
was absolutely none TO be had at any
price. The price of wood followed coal
Kindling wood selling a few days ago
at $40 a cord brought S12 today. Prac-
tically a complete fuel famine exists.
Consumers throughout the city had
postponed laying in a supply Of coal
believing that the strike would be set
tied and prices fall. Dealers assert
that the supply of anthracite in the
city is not 10 per cent of the demand
and that the present supply Of soft
coal is hardly 25 per cent OF the de-
mand.
The park department is seriously en-
barrassed. Ten days ago contracts
were advertised for and today only one
bid was found, and that for 200 tons OF
pea coal at $S.75 per ton, which was
quickly accepted.
A conference of representatives OF
the charitable organizations of the city
viii be held within a few days TO con-
slider the situation resulting from the
strike Many Of the organization
made contracts for coal, but as these
contain a strike clause no supplies vii
be forthcoming. In former seasons the
Society for Relieving the Condition OF
the Poor. the United Hebrew Charitie,
and the St Vincent de ST. Paul society
have distributed about 1000 tons o.
coal each. a total of 5000 tons. Tn,
charity workers estimate that they may
have 10 provide ten or twenty times
the amount Of coal they have giveI
away in former winters.
Two steamers, with a capacity of ZOO
tons, have been chartered for the pur
pose of carrying cargoes of Welsh an
thracite coal from Swansea TO tn
United States. The vessels are the Brit
ish steamer Sarmatia, registering 1,34
tons net. which win come to New York
and the British steamer Montauk, 2,2O
tons net. which will go TO Boston o
Fall River. The latter vessel has bee
chartered 70 carry coal at shilling
and penny per ton for one port or
shillings to both ports.
The terms of the Sarmatia charte
were not made public. Prices are sal
to range from Sc to IS per ton for an
thracite free on board at Swansea.
The British Turret Crown, registering
1142 tons, has been chartered to lOai
coal for Montreal and Quebec at shill
ings and pence.

HOOPER YOUNG

FELL INTO VICIOUS HABIT

d ARTS. Sept. ga representative of
the Associated Press has inter
viewed John W. Young. father OF
William Hooper Young. who is charged
with the murder in New York of Anna
Nielsen Pulitzer. on the developments in
the case against his son. Mr.. Young
said:
81 am now convinced from what has
been published and from my own cable
advices that my son is innocent, and |
shall do the utmost in my power to help
him, while II | thought him guilty of
such a horrible crime / would not move
my hand TO save him from justice.
He Is Maynard. but he never had a
criminal tendency. The only explanation,
to my mind. which can connect him with
this crime, is that he fell under the in
fluence of some designing person. who
perpetrated the murder and through
whom my son acquired a guilty knOWl-
edge of the crime. or possibly became an
accessory after the fact.
Hooper Not Insane.
THE boy is not insane. but his mental
strength has been undermined by vicious
habits into which he fell while young.
THE dispatches say that a suit of my
sons clothes was found in the trunk with
the murdered WOmans clothing. This
itself is in his favor for the perpetrat0r
of crime would never convict himself
in such an obvious way. This was done
by the real murderer. who is using my
son as a screen.
Il wish to say that my son is not a
member of the Mormon church. nor has
he been connected with IL for many years.
We have been estranged for fifteen years.
| helped him frequently through my other
son. but have not seen him because of his
waywardness and his vicious habits, 10
which his unfortunate failings are due.
1T was without my knowledge and
consent that my son was living in my
apartments during my absence"
