COAL PRICES COME DOWN
STILL FURTHER REDUCTIONS MADE
BY THE LOCAL DEALERS.
1t Is Thought the Grand Jury Inves-
tigatiOn Has Had Something to
Do with the Decreases.

Indianapolis coal consumers may yet be
able to purchase coal at a reasonable price
or at least at prices somewhere in the
neighborhood of those charged in other
cities Coal in Indianapolis has been high
for many weeks, caused, it is alleged, by
the Indianapolis Coal Exchange advancing
prices in order to make an enormous profit.
The Marion county grand jury has taken
up the subject and yesterday examined
three representatives of coal companies.
They were Robert Browning, Anthony Cost
and c. V. Gilchrist 1t is claimed that they
were called before the Indianapolis Coal
Exchange in August and told to quit selling
TO independent coal dealers, as the latter
declined TO affiliate with the Coal Exchange.
The members of the Indianapolis Coal
Exchange are now demonstrating that they
can reduce the price of coal. and it is
claimed the activity of the grand jury had
a great deal to do with the reductions that
have been made within the last few days
Another cut was made Yesterday, the quo
tations showing a decided decrease over
Saturdays prices. Anthracite coal is now
quoted at s. a ton On Saturday, Pittsburg

STORY GOES ABROAD.
Foreign Medical Journals Comment
on Local Grave Robbing.

The prominence attained by the grave
robbing investigation now being conducted
by Detectives Asch and Manning has
reached the office of the Medical Journal
of Brussels. The story in making the
rounds is like the proverbial SNOWFALL. The
report of graves being robbed in this
county has been greatly exaggerated by
the Medical Journal of Brussels. In a re-
cent edition il printed a notice of the in
vestigation. which was copied by the New
York Medical Journal. The story as printed
was: THE Journal Medical de Bruxelles
for Oct. 10 cites the Etoile Beige as au-
thority for the statement that more than
thousand graves have been violated in In
dianapolis within the past three months"
Detectives Asch and Manning were busy
yesterday In a graveyard In the southeast
ern part OF the city, where IL was said that
more than fifty bodies have been stolen
within the past year. The investigation
will be continued to-day.

for the position of State oil inspector, and
