meeting Of coal road presidents, Just
held in this city, for the supplying of
coal, first to the dwellers in the ten
ement districts, second, to the hospit-
ais and, third % the transportation

According to the Herald, this
scheme came up during the weekly
discussion of the miners .trike, and
the present of Robert w. DeForest,
who is tenement house commissioner,
president Of the charity organization
society, and general counsel of the
Central railroad of New Jersey, was
that the other officials might have
placed before them the tenement
dwellers' crying need of fuel in cold
weather.
Mr.. DeForest was listened to atten-
lively, and there was not one of the
dozen present who did not agree that
something must be done. Before the
matter was turned over to the sales
agents of the companies, who, in CO.
operation with Mr.. DeForest, will de-

CALLED OFT FOR THE DAY.
Monday Nights Storm in Kansas
Brought the Army Maneu-
vers to a Halt.
THE GROUND NOT FIT TO WORK OVER.
A HowIing Gale Of Wind With Rntn
Failing In Torrents, Accompanied
by Intense Cold Greeted the Rus
sian Military Attache, Who De-
clared 1t Was Bee-yOu-ti-ful.

Fort Riley, Kas., Oct. Monday
nights heavy storm placed the
grounds in such a wretched condi-
ton for field smaneuyers that Gen.
Bates decided to call off the pro-
gramme for Tuesday.
Instead of the maneuvers originally
scheduled for Tuesday, it was decid-
ed to hold a general review later in
the day in honor of Assistant Secre-
tary of Wan Sanger, Brighten.
Carter, acting acknowledgement of the
army, and Gov. Stanley, of Kansas.
Discussed Military Problems.
The attack on the convoy, which
was TO have been the feature OF the
day, was postponed until Wednesday.
Tuesday morning was occupied by a
general discussion Of the military
problems that have already been
worked out.
The commanding officers Of the OPP
posing forces in each one OF the
maneuvers read his report, the UNI
pres report was read and general
explanations and q discussion fol-
lowed.
The lyceum was conducted for the
benefit Of the national guard officers,
who were given every facility to ac-
ouire all possible information.
Worst storm in Several Years.
The storm which swept over Fort
Riley Monday night was one OF the
most severe that has been expert
enced here for several years. The
wind blew bowling gale, the rain
fell in torrents and the cold was in
tense. Some Of the national guard
companies that arrived during the
latter part of the evening came IN
without equpage of any kind, and but
for the efforts Of Capt. c. b. Baker,
the camp quartermaster, many OF
them would have Jared badly. Capt.
Baker, with his assistants, labored IN
the storm until long after midnight
and would not leave until everything
possible had been done. The quar-
termaster's department has looked
after the comfort Of the members OF
the national guard with the same as
siduity that has been employed by
Gen. Bates, his staff officers and the,
military umpires in rounding out
their military education.

military attache, arrived Monday

IT, Riley reservation with the pur-
nose Of inflicting as much damage as
possible upon the train.
The approach of the attacking
force was known to the commander
Of the Blue army, and, finding that

along the Ridge road. No choice Of
