MAYOR HEADS THE RAIDERS.

BELLEVUE, o.. Jan. 13.-The fuel sit
uation in Bellevue reached an acute stage
to-day and conference of the Mayor.
Councilmen and coal dealers was held
II was learned that there were eight
cars of anthracite coal in the local yards
OF the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad,
and it was decided TO coniiscate the coal.
The fire bell was rung, and the Mayor
and the Councilmen, followed by a small
army OF citizens armed with shovels
marched to the railway yards and un-
loaded the cars in record breaking time.
The Mayor issued orders with the vii
lage seal and the coal was distributed TO
citizens through the local dealers at the
rate of IS a ton. A further search was
made and several cars of soft coal were
found and unloaded in a like manner
About every wagon in town was pressed
into service and the work of delivering
the coal was kept up until midnight.

witness responded that he himself con-
sidered the advance a case OF robbery.
Baum declared that there had been no
collusiCn between the Washington dealers
and the independent coal operators. This
testimony provoked a statement from
Senator Stewart that he proposed to sum-
mon some Of the dealers before the COM
mittee.
The man who puts up prices of coal
now with the result of causing the freez-
ing Of women and children is a shark" he
said. Il do not know" he added, that
We can punish them by law, but we will
give them a chance TO explain
j. +. Legge, terminal agent of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company, said
the coal rates of that line were the same
5 formerly. and that there had been no
discrimination against Washington in ia
vor of Baltimore.
Charlotte Smith. president of the Asso-
ciation of Impecunious Working Women,
SAID she had never been able to procure
more than a half ton of coal at a time
for that association. but that it was al
ways able 10 get a bucketful or bushel
az time Then il had to pay prices
which made the coal cost 500 a ton.
During the day Senator Stewart re-
ceived an official letter from President A
J. Cassatt of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, in which he said:
while the coal-carrying roads general
ly are making every possible effort to in
crease the movement of coal. L regret to
say that 1 do not think the present condi-
ticns will improve much for several
months TO come. So far is this company
is concerned no effort will be spared-in
fact, orders have been in force for some
time past-to give preference to coal ship
ments over all others, both in the supply
of cars and in the movement"

psychologists. is pronounced purely and
simply a sham. After two weeks of
wrestling with this human problem by
various methods. including the latest aids
to psychic science. the whole case is
summed up in this brief dialogue:
well, Madeline. you kept up the bluff
pretty we'll
81 think so myself" was the comment
as the girl buried her smiling face in the
pillow on her couch at the New York In
firmary for Women and Children last
evening. The sharpest kind of cross-qucs-
tioning by the Can-HeraId correspondent
had brought about the admission.
Suspicion was aroused in the mind Of
DIR. Borissides chief of staff at the hospi-
tai, as the case was entirely at variance
with all those of amnesia which have
come under his observation. The corre-
spOndent suggested that he be allowed to
question the girl and consent was permit

marked degree when the inquiry was
pressed. the girl always finding refuge in

THE girl is inconsistent with everything

she is shamming, but there seems TO be
no reason for It,"
1t was determined to end all doubt by
an accusation which was made by Dr.
Won Diessen after DIR. Sidis had said he
knew the Chief of Police in Scranton and
had been told the girl was shammlng
Madeline a once admitted her pretense
and burst into a fit of laughter. seeming
