CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

BE IT KNOWN TO ALL PERSONS
That the Miners and La
Dor Unions of Tonopah, New,
view with alarm the inroads
that Chinese labor is making
in our fair city, by securing
the work that should be done
by the willing hands of our
own people, especially in
laundries, restaurants, hotels
and as household help.
And, whereas. we now have
plenty of hotels, restaurants,
a union steam laundry and
several white women who are
doing a laundry business at
their home, where Chinese
labor is not employed
We, the undersigned, men,
bers of said organizations, by
order of our respective I'M
ions, do hereby appeal to and
request all union men aud
women and the public gener-
ally in and around the fair
city of Tonopah, who are in
sympathy with organized la
Dor, to cease their patronage
of Chinese restaurants, laun-
drys and all places where
Chinese labor is employed,
thus giving our own race a
chance to live.

GAS AS FUEL.
An Expensive Substitute for Anthra-
cite Coal.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Among the substitutes for coal as fuel
none, perhaps, is attracting more general
attention just now than gas. Many people
who do not have to count the cost and
many more who do have to make a strain
to make ends meet doubtless expect to keen
themselves more or less comfortable by
using gas for heating and cooking Only
the Taguest notions exist as to the relative
cost of gas fuel. Everybody knows that it
is dearer than anthracite when the latter is
at its normal price, but with our customary
fuel practically unprocurable, even at four
times the usual figure the use of gas would
seem TO the uninttfate to be COMPARE
lively cheap alternative. A closer fnyestj-
cation Of the question, however does NOT
bear out this impression.
Gas at 81 thousand cubic feet has been
estimated to be equivalent in heating value
to anthracite at SIS short ton; where the
cost of gas Is higher Its expensiveness as
a fuel is, Of course. correspondingly greater
The accuracy of the estimate has been in
measure established by experiment with
steam-heating plant the boiler whereof was
SO constructed that steam could be gen.
Grated by a gas fame. In the course Of
seven months $40, 600 cubic feet were con-
sumed in heating a rather large house of
80 600 feet cubic capacity To state the re-
suit of the experiment. in terms compre-
hensibie by all, gas fuel Is two and ene-half
times as expensive as anthracite at So
short ton. Another test equally exhaustive
showed a ton of coal to be the fuel equiva-
lent of 10000 cubic feet of gas. running the
per ton rate up to $40, assuming gas to
cost 81 per thousand
Few of the moderately circumstanced
probably expect to keep their houses as
comfortable with gas as they had been ac-
customed to do with coal Gas stoves have
been Installed as nakeshifts and with a
view to making life endurable In one or per-
haps two of the principal rooms. Here
however, another difficulty has to be con-
sidered Where is the supply of gas to
come from to meet the greatly augmented
demand? 1t Is not merely a question Of
turning on the tap and lighting match
II the requirements Of householders should
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-10-10

suddenly be doubled the manufacturers Of
gas could not fill their tanks as quickly as
they would be exhausted. The fluctuation
in the demand in accordance with the rise
and fall of the temperature, moreover,
would present conditions almost impossible
to meet. and, If possible, 1t would be at
prohibitive cost to the manufacturers for
gas holders or other means of storage
From some cities a dminution of pressure
due to increased use of gas has already
been reported, and much larger demand
would result in making gas unavailable for
ANYBODY.

STREET CAR MEMS UNION
VIII Meet Tonight to Act on List of
Applicants for Member
ship.

Local lodge No. 2SS of the A~malgamated
Association of Street Railway Employees, the
new organization of street railway men, will
hold a meeting tonight at Labor Temple for
the purpose Of completing the organization.
There are now 224 members and a long list
OF applicants is on hand ready to be added
to the rolls tonight. The charter closes at
this meeting and it has been the desire and
purpose to get in all the employees possible
before this is lone for the mutual benefit OF
the men and the association.
A prominent street car man said last
night:
1--WE are not going into the union with the
thought OF striking. We are actuated by
higher motives. Self-protection In the flu
ture impels us to band ourselves together.
We have been behind the times. We see
that organization is necessary to the pres
e~rvation Of our own interests. While there
may have been some trivial grievances our
situation under our present employers was
not such as to warrant alarm. but we think
we see ahead a danger signal and we want
to be prepared for the crisis. We don't know
what disposition will be made when the
change In ownership takes place. If we could
feel the tame degree Of safety to our in
terests that we feel under the present man
agement there. certainly would be no cause
for apprehension. believe that the men on
these lines would strike Just as quick over
the removal of Superintendent Tucker as
they would for any personal grievance. We
hope Mr.. Tucker Will remain in his present
position under the new management. His
relations with US have been pleasant and
profitable"

CAsHES FIVE FORGED CHECKS
Names of Milton Rogers sons and
Russell Brokerage Com
pany Used.

The discovery has been made that FIVE
checks bearing the names of Milton Rog-
ers' Sons and of the Russell Brokerage
company and either drawn to and Endorsed
by william Burdick or William Beresford,
and which have been cashed in at a total
OF S73, are forgeries. Two of the checks
bear the name of the former company and
are for 1880 and $3.50, respectively, and
the others on the Russell company are for
S14.75, s15.75 and $3.50. OF the latter three
the first, drawn on the Merchants National
bank, was cashed by the w. r. Bennett
company; the second. drawn on the First
National, and the third, ON the Omaha
National, were cashed in Council Blufs.
The checks on the Milton Rogers company
were drawn on the Merchants National
and Omaha National banks, and were
cashed by a Douglas street saloon keeper
and in Council Bluffs. The checks used in
Omaha were dated August 22 and those
used in Iowa were Of one day later. The
fraud was not detected until the checks
came around in the order Of banking bust
ness. The paper was not drawn on the
banks where the companies do business,
but one of the Rogers checks came to the
Omaha National, where It was detected.
The police know who the forger is, but
refuse to give out any hint as to his iden-
tity. 1t is known. however, that he is not
in the city.
