COAL MEN ARE QUESTIONED
Examination Before County Attorney
Fails TO Bring out scnsa-
tionaI Evidence,

Eight members Of the Omaha Coal ex-
change were questioned before County At
torney English for two hours Monday after
noon but the results of the investigation
were not such as to persuade Mr.. English
to commence any action against the or
ganization. Instead, it was suggested that
the books OF the exchange be submitted for
his inspection that further knowledge OF its
workings might be had, and the members
will consider compliance.
r. L. Metcalfe questioned the coal men
regarding the purposes and rules Of the ex-
change. He stated that he had intorma-
tion TO the effect that the exchange fixed
prices of coal and had rules for forcing
small dealers out of business. He sub
mitted his evidence, statements from men
who asserted that they had been so treated.
The coal men denied any knowledge Of
any boycottng, though they admitted re-
fusing TO sell coal to certain small dealers
who, they said, would take of 500 pounds
to the ton and sell the coal under weight"
They denied fixing prices, but declined to
say whether any penalty had ever been en-
forced upon a member Of the exchange for
selling coal below certain price.
And if we did fix prices, what them"
demanded J. A. Sunderland of Mr.. Metcalf.
why, you would simply be violating a
state law, and it would be the duty OF the
county attorney to bring proceedings
against you" was the response. And II
there are no such Objectionable agreements
to be found in the constitution of your ex-
change or the reports Of your meetings; il
these documents will prove to the public
that you have never done these things,
should think you would be glad to submit
| the books as suggested"
! The coal men said that they had no au-
! thority to act for the enrire exchange, as
they were a small part Of it, and that they
would take up the matter a. the next meet

ST LOUIS ENGINEER REPORTS
Says ChOked Boiler T6bes Delayed
Vessel, but Could Not BE
FOreseen.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s,-John Phillip, chief
engineer OF the steamship St. Louis, today
made his official report on the cause of the
vessels delayed trip.
In it he says:
In regard 10 the long passage / beg to
state that II was due to the boiler tubes
getting choked up on the fire side, thro lgh
tubes leaking in the back tube sheet. The
only cause that | can see for this is ham
mering too much at the choked tubes in
the different boxes while we were at South
ampton, which started a number of tubes
in the back sheet.
The boilers are as safe now in regard
to any part giving way as they were when
built.
When we left Southampton we did not
have the slightest idea OF the trouble in
store for Is.

A REALLY LIVELY GAME.

IN SOME PARTS of. the south they
play baseball "as is baseball. A
special telegram from Quitman. Geor-
gia, to the Louisville Courier Journal
tells about a game that must have
been worth going a long way to see
The contestants were rival teams Of
negroes from adjoining plantations
and the hatred between them was in
tense. One team was called the
SPANS. The name Of the other is not
given. Says the dispatch, in part:
In the sixth inning, with the score
70 in favor of the Spain aggrega-
ton, Johnston Ga Spain player) reached
first. He prepared TO steal second and,
to his seeming good fortune, the
catcher missed the ball, the man at
bat stepping back and interfering, #
is claimed. Seeing this, one of the
anti-Spain rooters IeveIed his shotgun
and emptied a load Of buckshot into
Johnston just a few feet before he
reached second base. Johnston was
carried to one side and the game con-
tinued, but before it was over he died.
I'm the eighth the score was tied
when decision Of Umpire Edmond
son allowed one OF the anH-Spain run
ners to score. At this, one of the Spain
players. pulling a pistol. emptied three
chambers into the Indicator handler,
killing him instantly" The story
adds that the game broke up in
row at this juncture. In other words,
the trouble began. Perhaps If an
other umpire could have been secured
the contest might have gone merrily
and bloodily on, but the fate of Ed
mondson was a warning sufficient to
deter anyone from offering to succeed
him.
What became Of the audience is not
made clear. but it is reasonably safe
to infer that some Of the people who
composed it are still running.
