TANGIBLE EVIDENCE.
Developments in Coal Shortage In-
 nuirv in Chica0o


 Quiry in Chicago.
 Chicago, Jan 1s-The most tangible ev- idence secured by the special grand jury in the coal shortage inquiry up to the present time. is thaN which relates to an alleged agreement orawn in March last year, and which is said to govern dozen mine operators in the Clinton Qnd.) dis trict with Walters Bogie and the Cres- cent Coal and Mining Company as the Chicago factor.
 It Is charged in the evidence presented that Mir. Bogle appears as President of one of the Indiana mining companies making an agreement with himself as President of the Crescent Coal and Min ing Company. It is said these mines were compelled to pool their outputs. to be dis posed of by the Chicago factor. In get ting at the facts, the jury today called before 1t Max Richberg of the Wabash Valley Coal Company, and recalled Charles w. Gilmore and Norman 8. Birk- land, officers of the Crescent Company. who were before the jury for time yes terday.
 A number of railroad men were also on hand when the jury began its work to- day, representing the Burlington, Wa bash, Illinois Central. Monon and Michi- gan Central and were called in as fast as their testimony could be heard.
 w. Abrahams of the Builders Man- agers Association also was a witness and Is said to have given valuable in- formation concerning the maintenance of a room by the Coal Dealers Associa- ticn, where secrst conferences were held at regular intervals. prior to the start ing of the present investigation. He a.so declared that his association had found dealers delaying delivery of coal in good weather and then pleading that they were unable to deliver in rough weather. thus compelling budding managers to consume their entire stock of coal on hand.
 Proof of how the large coal dealer sought to compel the small dealer to sell coal at the price quoted by the alleged combine reached :he special grand jury this afternoon. when Henry Peterson. one of the small dealers testified. Ac- cording to Peterson. he visited the offices of a large coal company. sometime ago, and was given price list. He had been purchasing his coal from this company and was instructed. he declared. to sell the coal at SIG ton. He had a number of customers who he knew could not af- ford to pay such prices, and he sold them the coal at cost price without deducting the cost of hauling. As punishment for doing this, Peterson claimed that the company refused to sell him any more ccal and he has not been able to buy any slDce from any of the other large deale.s .s because of word sent out that he would not keep up the price.

No State in the Union is more closely welded to protection than Massachusetts. Nevertheless there is no other common wealth in the republic in which the trou- oles from the scarcity of coal are felt more acutely or in which the demand for the abolition or suspension of the duties on fuel Is louder and stronger.-New, York Tribune.

The canal association points out that

only 10 per cont on the rest OF the State
Nevertheless, the direct tax imposed ny the

Q For how many years would the farmer
have TO bear this burden?
A. Two years
O. Why two years?
A. Because after two years the tax will
probably be indirect.
Thus arguing that indirect taxation Il
no taxation for the farmer. Gov. Odell In

wrote
