DECIDED DROP IN THE
PRICE OF HARD COAL
Prospect of Strike Settle
ment Reduces 1t to $12.
THREE CAR LOADS ARRIVE
White House Receives This Consign-
mert-Railroads to Fight Un-
scrupulous Dealers.

The price of anthracite coal yester-
day was quoted at S12 ton. There
may be further reduction as soon
as the mines are opened.
1t is not expected that the local mar
ket will become normal again for two or
three weeks. Dealers say that it lsu-
ally requires that time to bring coal
from the mines TO this market, and they
can hardly hope to get the first that is
mined after resumption of work. They
believe, however, they can supply the
demand within three weeks after the
mines become active.
Coal for White House.
Three cars of hard coal were received
for the White House yesterday. Tho
coal was delivered by v. Baldwin john
son at the White House gardens. @
Bituminous coal is now selling at IS
a ton. The consumption of soft coal
has greatly increased, but many of those
who are using it for the first time will
return to anthracite at the earliest OPP
portunity.
Railroads Fix Price.
The price of coal, it is said, will be
fixed in Philadelphia, and the Philadel-
phia and Reading road is expected to
have decided influence onFthe situa-
tion. 1t is said to be the purpose of the
officials Of the road to fight those deal
iers who expect to buy at a reasonable
rate and sell to their customers at
double the usual price. Notice to this
effect is said to have been served en- the
Philadelphia retail men. President
Baer has announced that as fast as the
coal is mined it will be shipped.
The use of oil for heating is common
now, and many will continue to use it,
whatever the coal situation. Gas stoves
are also much more often met with than
they were at this time last year. Hard
coal was then selling at 1915 a ton, and
the soft variety at $4.25.

TWO INDICTMENTS.
Found by the Grand Jury in the Sam
Holland Case.
Attorney Wheeler Campbell Indicted
for Obstructing Justice in
the Case.
HAS GIVEN BOND

sam Holland mas Deen hrresteu on
two bench warrants and executed bond
on indictments found by the last grand
jury in connection with q gambling
case. He was taken IN custody by
Deputy Lydon yesterday and in short
time had given the bond and been re-
leased.
The trouble grew out of visit sew
eral young men made to the Peters sa-
loon near Eleventh and Broadway sew
eral days ago 1t was alleged that Hol-
land was setting mp and operating 3
crap game over the saloon, and a war
rant was sworn out against him before
Justice Jesse Young. He claimed he
was not guilty and demanded a trial
in order to determine whether or not
to hold him over to the grand jury
and send him to Jail or require him to
give bond, which in mis- case was
fixed at $500. He was present In the
Justices court ct the time for hearing
the case, and Campbell and Campbell,
his attorneys, demanded a trial for
their client, which was refused by the
justice, who said he would simply turn
1t over TO the grand jury.
Hollands attorneys demonstrated
and said that the prisoner was entitled
to a trial, and that IL the evidence
were heard, he would be promptly re-
leased instead of held TO the grand
jury and committed to jail or required
to give heavy bond.
The Justice would not consent ana
Attorney Wheeler Campbell told Hol-
land to go, as they could not longer
hold him, and he left. He made no
effort to escape. however, and has been
here on the streets ever since.
The grand Jury took up the case
and indicted Holland for setting up
a game, and for swearing falsely
when he was called before that body
TO testify. He has given bond and
the cases will not come mp until
April.
Attorney Wheeler Campbell, his
lawyer, was indicted for obstruoting
justice in advising his client to leave
the magistrates court. Ii Is claimed
by Hollands attorneys that every
man charged with an offense like That
is entitled to a preliminary hearing in
order to determine whether or not to
hold him for grand jury action. II
he is hauled up and bound over with
out any sort of trial, and committed
to Jail to await grand jury action, he
is being deprived Of his liberty with
out due process of law, and the mag
istratss and other officials implicated,
and their hondsmen, are liable for dam
ages. A prisoner can also sue for
forcing him TO give q bond without
according him preliminary bearing,
