LACK OF COAL CAUSES ILLNESS
Milwaukee Physicians Say That of Man
Patients-No Famine There.

Milwaukee Physicians Say That of Many
Patients-No Famine There.
Milwaukee, Jan. PA number of
physicians report considerable sickness
in this city ON account of the cold
weather, for the reason that their pa
TENTS did not have sufficient fuel ON
hand to keep warm. In many instances
physicians furnished certificates for
supplies of coal, but all of these could
not be. filled.
The stock of soft coal on hand in
Milwaukee is estimated at 100000 tons,
and dealers say there is not the remot-
est probability of soft coal famine.
Most of the big manufacturingconce
of the city have guarantees from deal
ers that make their position secure.
Large shipments of all-rail soft coal
are being received daily.

A Cheeky Customer.

,perience the other day." said clerk
who works in hair store ga man
came into our place and asked to look
ut some false boards. OF course he was
accommodated, and he spent over an
hour going over the lot, trying them on
and examining himself in glass. He
took up my time, and after he had eX-
amined everything in that line in the
store he thanked me and said he was
considering whether to raise beard or
not and wished to see how he would
look in the different styles"

BY THE STRENUOUS METHOD
Arcola, Ills, Breaks Her Coal Famine by
Selling Whole Train.


Selling a Whole Train.
ArcOla, Ills, Jan. II. The coal
famine which has paralyzed business
here for over q week is broken. An
Illinois Central coal train, consisting
of sixteen cars, bound for Chicago,
stopped here Saturday and was imme-
diateIy confiscated by the citizens The
Central company was notified that the
coal would not be allowed to be moved
out of town, and the local agent was
offered the money for it, He tele-
graphed headquarters and theyrefused
to SELL whereupon the train was i'm
mediately confiscated
Active in the party were the pastors
of the Presbyterian and Free Methodist
churches, the presidents of the banks
and one policeman. Each load was
weighed and a strict account kept in
hopes of making satisfactory settle
ment with the owners When the
train stopped crowd of several hun
dred persons was soon clamoring for
COAL A consultation was held and S.
L. Woodward proprietor of the electric
plant, rendered the local Central agent
money for the coal on behalf of the
people. This was refused. BY this
time the more desperate had climbed
into the cars and were loading their
wagons.
Colonel J. f. Beggs, president OF the
First National bank, acted as marshal
of the day, and endeavored to keep
the wagons in line; Thomas Lyons,
president Of the State bank: Rev. Ed
ward Baech. Rev. William Prout, Po-
iiceman Walter Craft and many infu-
entail citizens were prominent in the
raid. For some reason the local deal
ers have been unable to get coal for
the last month and fully one-half the
people in town were out Of fuel. This
condition made them desperate and
persons of all classes were glad to
avail themselves of this opportunity
and aided in the confiscation.

GRAND JURY is TO INVESTIGATE

Deneen to investigate the alleged coal
conspiracy the Importance of its du-
ties. The twenty-three men who had

to the charge OF the judge and then
filed downstairs to begin the investi-

been discovered by the. parties who
caused the Investigation to be made.
1t is also asserted that beyond the
city lines, on one, and probably two,
roads, countless tons of coal have been
taken from the cars and heaped I'D on
either side of the tracks for as much
as three-quarters of a mile. The grand
jury will insist upon being informed
why this coal has not been brought
into the market and put on sale, thus
relieving. the coal famine. Serious re
suits are already seen in heavy in

called. Counsel for the miners object

included the consumption of liquor,
because it included the entire popula-
ton. If the witness could show how
much the miners consumed there
would be no objection, but counsel did
not want the entire liquor consumption
charged to the miners. The commits
sion excluded the statement because
it did not show per capita consump-
ton.

ARooLA, ILLS, PEOPLE GET COAL
BY the Strenuous Method of COnfisca-
tion-News of Coal Famine
from Various Points.

Chicago. Jan. PA national con-
vention at Washington for the pur-
pose of impressing on President Roose-
welt the urgent need for immediate re-
lief from the stringency of the coal
situation was decided on yesterday at
a conference in the Grand Pacific ho-
tel. The call for the gathering will
be issued today by Mayor Maybury,
of Detroit. acting as chairman OF the
permanent committee of the Detroit
coal convention. 1t was this commit
tee which Saturday agreed on the nee
essity for national meeting at the
capital This decision followed series
of speeches in which Attorney General
Knox was censured. it being alleged
that he had not enforced the laws by
which redress could be secured
Decided to Move on Washington.
There was considerable divergence
of opinion at first as to the most eff
fectiye method to be pursued to obtain
relief from the present prices of coal.
Suggestions were made that an open
letter be addressed to President Roose-
welt, that convention be called at
Detroit or Chicago, or that congress
be applied to for action. The pro-
pOsal to ''move on Washington in a
body" finally prevailed, it being agreed
that the enforcement of existing laws
offered adequate means of relief.

Tidewater Price Is SIS.

The Delaware and Hudson gets IS
per cent. of the average tidewater price
of coal at New York on the New Jer-
Sey side, and the Erie gets the other 80
for the transportation and expense of
selling the fuel. The circular tide
water price is S. and it costs about
20 to % cents Il ton to transport it from
the New Jersey side to New York.
Continuing, Mr.. Torrey said the Della
ware and Hudson had nothing to do
with the retail price of coal in New
York, and his information about sucn
prices were mere hearsay. In answer
to Commissioner Clark witness said
the Delaware and Hudson sell direct
to dealers and distributing houses in
New York state and New England. He
further said that the Delaware and
Hudson derived no benefit from the alb
normal price of retail coal. During the
examination counsel for the miners
endeavored to get the witness to tell
something about freight rates. but the
commission ruled out the question.
