FORT SHELLED BY GERMANS

Maracaibo, Venezuela, Jan. 1S.-The
German cruiser Panther shelled Fort
Carlos, at the entrance to Lake Mara
caibo, yesterday for one hour.
The fort returned the fire with four
guns. The Panther withdrew in the
direction of Curacao.
Fort San Carlos is twenty miles
from Maracaibo and commands the
entrance to the lake or inner bay.
The correspondent here of the Asso-
ciated Press has the following from
the commander of the fort:
Yesterday afternoon at 2:3O Fort
San Carlos was attacked and shelled,
without any provocation on our part,
without notification or the delivery
of an ultimatum, by the German cruis-
er Panther, which triedeto force the
entrance. After a fight, lasting an
hour, during which the fort used only
four guns, the Panther was obliged to
abandon the fight and retreated in
the direction of Curocao. The fort
suffered no damage and only three
men were wounded"
There have been popular demon
strations on the streets here as a re-
suit of the shelling of the fort

the miners tell me that the
production of coal canont be increas-
ed through any effort of theirs; that
in most cases the companies are fail
ing to furnish them as many cars
as they would load. In other words.
the regular turn of cars will not
amount to as much as the men are ac-
customed and willing to load, so that
they cannot increase the output of
the mines. In some few cases they
say that they could, and have agreed
to do So
Maj. Everett Warren of Scranton,
who represents several coal compan-
les before the commission, interrupted
Mr.. Mitchell and requested him to
bring proof forward warranting the
assertions just made. The companies,
he said, had information to the con-
trary, and they would show that the
men do not and are not willing to
load as many cars as they can be
furnished with.
Wants Men Put Back.
In reply to this Mr.. Mitchell said:
Il am not attempting, of course, to
testify as witness in the matter. I
am giving the sources of my informa-
tiOn in each case. I do not say this
for the purpose of placing the respon-
sibility on anybody else. The fact of
the matter is my information would
Indicate that it is impossible to move
more coal. The miners tell me the
tracks are congested with loaded cars
at the mines l want to say this in
connection with it, that we have 5000
men who were on strike that have
so far been refused the right to work.
They are ready to mine coal. There
is shortage of coal in the country
and | believe that both the miners
and the operators are doing what they
can to get it out of the mines, but they
can at least increase to the extent
of putting our 5000 men to work,
whom they agreed to start to work
when they submitted to this commits
sion and agreed to abide by the de-
cision of the commission"
The remaining portion of the ses-
sion was uninteresting.

COAL DEALERS INDICTED

Chicago, Jan. T8-Forty indictments
have been voted by the special grand
jury which during the last week has
been investigating the shortage of
coal in this city. No names were
given out, it being declared by States
Attorney Deenan that inasmuch as
the indictments had been merely voted
and not returned, no list of the ac-
cused men would be announced before
tomorrow, when the jury will recon-
vene. It is said that among the men
against whom it is the intention to
return indictments are many who
stand high in the business and social
world. This fact was given out by
the states attorney as the reason
why no list of the accused men would
be given out as yet.
The jury also found that under
tors of the various states, the Illinois
Coal Operators association and the
Northern Illinois Soft Coal Opera
tors association being in collusion
with the Indiana Coal Operators as
sociation in an attempt to govern
the whole bituminous supply of the
two states.
What application the conspiracy act
could have to local dealers and op-
orators in the face of the fact that
the combination is general was the
hard question for the jurors, but the
attorneys explained that as soon as
the coal was brought into Illinois the
possessor who in any way restrained
trade is amenable With this inter-
probation in mind the jury continued
the taking of corroborative testimony.

ABRAM s. HEWITT DEAD

New York, Jan. 1S.-Abram S. Hew-
for many years representative in
congress, died at o'clock, in his S1st
year, having been critically i'll for
ten days. With him at the moment
of his death were his wife, his three
sons and daughters.
Mr.. Hewitt, who has been in feeble
health for some months, was attack
ed with obstructive jaundice on JAN
s, and from the first it was realized
by his attending physicians, Doctor
Keyes and Doctor Keyes, Jr., there
was no hope of the aged patients re-
covery.
On the following Sunday it was
thought Mr.. Hewitt could not survive
the night and his family was summon
ed to the bedside, but his vitality
kept him alive for week longer.
On Thursday Mr.. Hewitt rallied so
strongly that some hope was enter
tanned that he might recover, but on
the following night reaction occur
red, and it was then evident that the
end was not far off. A slight i'm
provement was noted on Saturday
afternoon, but late that night the
physician notified Mr.. Hewitt's son,
H. Cooper Hewitt, that death was
imminent and the other children, Ed
ward and Erskine Hewitt, Mrs. Geo.
Green, Mrs. Sarah Hewitt and Miss
Eleanor G.. Hewitt, were summoned
and, with their mother, remained at
the bedside until the end.
The funeral services, which will be
conducted by Bishop Potter, will be
held in Calvary church, of which
Mr.. Hewitt was member, on We'd
nesday.

ADMIRAL DEWEY HOME AGAIN.
Arrives at Washington from Southern
Cruise

Arrives at Washington from Southern
Cruise.
Washington, Jan. 1S.-The flagship
Mayflower, with Admiral Dewey, Rear
Admiral Taylor and the fleet staff
aboard, arrived at the Washington
navy yard from Culebra yesterday
afternoon.
The admiral had only words OF
praise for the officers and men who
participated in the maneuvers. He
expressed his pleasure in having
been in command of such feet,
which, he said, was the most powerful
ever assembled in the Caribbean.
The maneuvers, he declared, had serv-
ed the purpose for which they had
been planned. Although preparations
for the maneuvers had been going
on long before the trouble in Vene-
zuela, he thought, nevertheless, 1t
was a remarkable coincidence that
the United States had such naval
representation in those waters at
that particular time

of the old gentlemans having been little girl. And yet it was not so absurd as it sounded The old gentleman himself to be sure, had never been q little girl, nor his father nor grandfather; but once upon q time, long. long ago. before little boys had been invented, the old gentlemen of that day had really been in earnest when they said: "Once upon a time, when l was little girl.'' For of course, as there were no little boys at that time there was nothing for the old gentlemen to have been but little girls.
 And this was the reason that the old gen tleman whom the children knew always be- gan his stories by saying: "once upon time, when was little girl"
 And now for the story of the way that little boys came to be invented.
 In the days when there were only little girls 1t is said that the world went along so smoothly that it was delight to live in 1t. Everything was clean and orderly and in its place, just where it belonged; the beds were made In the morning as if by magic; nobody leased the cat or stoned the birds, and everybody was contented and happy. At least, everybody should have been con tented and happy; but, as you know, there are always dissatisfied people, who don't know when they are well or and who can't let things alone. Even in fhe days before little boys had been invented there were people of this sort, and they banded them selves together into an association, which they called the Anti Monotony Club.
 "Oh, my, what tiresome old world this lsr' they sighed Everything runs along so smoothly that nothing interesting ever happens. If people weren't so contented they'd be great deal happier"
 Now, unfortunately, there was a great in yentor in the Anti Monotony Club. and he set his wits 10 work to see what could be done to make life less mopotoDously pleas ant. So, one day. when the members of the club were complaining, he arose and said:

Do you know how many letters the Japa- nese alphabet contains: Forty-seven. Think of 1t! And, besides, there are ever so many word signs, some standing for q word and others for whole sentence, which the little Japanese boy or girl must learn to know perfectly. When the young Jap" goes to school in the morning he leaves his sandals outside the door. Then he goes in. bows very low to the teacher and takes his place beside the other children.
 That is, he squnts down upon n floor mat and begins to study with book on his knee.
 A very queer book you would think it if you could see it, for 1t begins nt the back, instead of the front, and the lines run up and down the page, instead of across it, as yours do.
 The letters are curious, too. Very much like the Chinese characters we sec on pack ages of tea. When he learns to write he does not use a pen, but small brush with q fine point.
 Neither is his ink like ours. Rather It Is what we call India ink It Is quite hard and comes in long stick
 To use 1t he first pours water upon n flat stone and rubs his ink in 1t. Then he dps in his brush and copies the letters which
