The COAL INQUIRY
Local Dealers cheerfully Answer
Mayors Call to Meet Com
mittee Of Councilmen.
Say They Have Nothing to Conceal
Think There's No Prospect
of Suffering.

The council committee of coal inquiry
met at the city hall at p. m. to-day.
The members are Messrs. Peter Nelson,
Gerber, Mumm, Merrill and Van Nest
Representatives of seven leading coal
companies appeared in response to re-
Haynes sole purpose In recommending
such an inquiry was to use all possible
means to avert a coal famine before the
winters close and to determine what
steps, if any were necessary to prevent
undue suffering and hardship. The COM
panies represented We're: The Northwest
ern. Youghiougheny & Lehigh. Lehigh
Valley, Philadelphia & Reading, Jones &
Adams, and the st. Paul & Western.
The different managers were not only
ready to tell the committee what they
knew about the local situation, but anxi-
lieve the local situation. But they had
little encouragement to offer.
+ 1t was the opinion of the dealers that
prospects for receiving anthracite in this
market, in considerable quantities were
very remote for this winter. One repre-
sentative said that his firm had aban-
doned hope Of receiving another consign-
ment this season.
If the committee can show me where
the coal dealers in Minneapolis can get
any coal L will consider it great IA
vor, said Harry Rendell of the North
western Fuel company. "In that event
I'll do all I can to give the public access
to such coal. We have Jared exception
ally we'll as compared with most large
cities1,'
The manager of the Pioneer company
said that local dealers had nothing tc
conceal. If anything they had reason tc
be proud of the way they had dealt Out
what hard coal had been available. I'll
must be patent to all'' said he, "tha1
the coal companies have done everythins
in their power to supply the demand here

tlves at the meeting declared emphatic
ally that while 1t would be possible TO
them to secure small lots of coal; no com
blnatlon Of circumstances could temp
them to sell coal in Minneapolis for more
than the prevailing price here. Z:

Reports from Leonard indicate that a

the Minneapolis Congregational union and

there would be needed to finish off a room

special effort, except the clear presenta-
ton of the case, contribution was taken
which resulted in money and pledges to

amount, to the great joy of all who tar

MUSICAL MATTERS

Not a single pianist of note has yet
visited Minneapolis this season and it is
not strange that under such circumstances
added zest should attend the announce
ment Of the coming of Ossip Gabrilo-
Witsch, the young Russian who created
such furore in America two years ago
by his wonderful piano playing. The
he then gained has been great
ly enhanced by his appearances in Ameri-
ca this season, and many. musical critics
have placed him in the very front rank
of the younger generation of pianists, If
not at the head of the list.
When in Minneapolis during his tour
of America two years ago Gabrilowitsch
won warm plaudits for his splendid work
and his second coming is eagerly awaited
by musicians and lovers Of good piano
playing. His successes in the east this
season have been most marked and many
enconiums have been added to his laurels.
Mr.. Crosse will give the last two Rach
recitals this week and they will complete
the series Of ten which began in Novem-
Der. He has received so many requests
by those who were unable to attend the
entire course that he has decided to re-
peat it next season, thus affording many
serious students Of musician opportunity
of hearing these rare and important works
of this great master in music The first
program will include a Capriccio, Fan
TASTE and the great triple Prelude and
Fugue. The second program will Include
the Goldberg variations and the Prelude
and F'ugue which Bach composed on the
theme of his own name 3. A. c. Fl.
Carl Riedelsberger and William John
Hall will give a violin and song recital in
Albert Lea this evening. Mr.. Hall will also
sing the tenor solos in the production
given by the Philharmonic society. Mr..
Hall will resume his song recitals for
students the coming week.
The members of the teachers certif-
cate class Of johnson School Of Music,
Oratory and Dramatic Art will give a re-
cital this evening in the school audi
torium The Misses Bertha Sanford and
Margaret Bailey, pupils Of Mrs. Holt, and
Miss Bessie Crane, pupils Of Mrs. Verna
Golden Scott, will assist in the program.
Others who will take part are Clara Bro
haugh, Lille Vaughn, Gertrude WinsloW,
Mary Hosenpud, Myrtle Jones, Birdie An
derson, Isabelle Blixt and Bessie Nye.
Mascagni, the composer, and Kocian, the
violinist, met during their recent stay
in Chicago, and they. composed short
serenade for violin and piano which they
dedicated to Miss Alice Roosevelt. The
meeting was brought about with great
difficulty, for neither would waive his
claim to superiority to visit the other.
Their managers finally compromised on
neutral ground and both musicians left
the apartments to meet in a room half
way between the two.
