AS an exchange puts it: Ii ten
men own a hundred cars Of coal be-
tween themselves how can they be
legally ..nished if they agree that
they will not sell it for less than a
certain price per ton. only lew
wears ago farmers were urged not TO
sell their wheat for less than GER
tain price per bushel and many OF
them refused to sell until the price o!
wheat advanced. Is it any more re-
striction of trade for coal dealers to
agree upon price per ton Tor coal
than it is for farmers to agree upon q
price for wheat, or corn? In the great
fuel problem now confronting this
country is there any legal way by
which n mine owner or dealer can
be compelled to sell coal for price
less than he thinks ii is worth under
the conditions of the market? Some
where cut west last fall a dealer
bought mp all the potatoes within a
radius of several hundred miles and
then when people began to look
about for potatoes put up the price to
suit himself Was that restriction oil
trade? Can we legally compel man
to sell for 100 horse that he values
at 5000. This problem OF supply, de-
mand and price may well interest
the minds CT our greatest statesmen.

GOWN GAVE WAY AND
SAVED WOMAN'S LIFE.
Dress Caught in Door as the Elevator
Descended and Fatal accident
Was Narrowly Aserted.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Providence R. l., March 14.-An elevator
accident in the Tillinghast building was
productive of distressing results, but it was
a narrow escape from much more serious
consequences. Mrs. James NJ. Chute OF
Cambridge, Mass, was IN the car descend
ing from the photograph studio of II. IL.
Pierce on the fifth floor, when her clothing
was caught and nearly torn from her body.
She was wrenched somewhat, but, owing
to her considerable weight, the garments
were torn instead of pulling her up against
the roof of the car and walls of the eleva-
tor well, where she would have been seri-
ously injured, if not crushed to death.
The accident happened shortly before s
o'clock. With Mrs. Chute in the car were
Miss Beatrice pierce, daughter of the art
list; Robert Mungiven, and the elevator boy.
The car is very small and Is minus safety
doors. The floor space Is accordingly mar
row, and on both sides are open doorways,
against the walls of the elevator we'll.
Mrs. Chute claims that she was standing
nearly In the center Of the car, owing to
warning she had once before heard given
by the elevator boy to passengers who
stood near the door.
In some way unaccounted for, perhaps by
draft Of air, Mrs. Chute's skirts were
some Of the doors. 1t happened near the
landing to the fourth floor. In an instant
there was ripping of clothing. and Mrs
Chute was pulled violently upward and to
one side. She, very naturally, screamed
loudly.
The elevator boy stood alert at his rope
with his back toward Mrs. Chute, and in
the first intimation of trouble he stopped
the car as quickly as possible
Mrs. Chute's clothing was almost torn
from her body. Her dress was in shreds.
She is heavy woman. ana. very fortu-
nately. the clothing was not strong enough
to lift and hold her against the roof and
walls. otherwise fatality could scarcely
have been averted.

that he had to be removed to the hospital
when the ship berthed in the North River
were a regular picnic for an English fat
girl coming over here for the Barnum show.
The Umbria, which, although single
screw ship. usually comes from Queenstown
with the regularity of an express train in a
little over six days, left the Irish coast
week ago yesterday, and great seas, which
were strengthened by high westerly winds,
made an onslaught on the craft from the
very first. Things atmospheric and nautical
grew worse until OH Tuesday the ship was
in the midst of hurricane and her head
way had to be checked. 1t was on this day
that thirty-odd seas broke over the bows
and one of them caught abe-bodied sea-
man named Radcliffe. When he was picked
up by his shipmates he was unconscious and
a subsequent examination by the ships sur
geon showed that his right leg was broken
in two places.
All the passengers except the circus fat
girl were more less laid low by the
roughness of the trip. Several officers of
the craft who have been lodging waves for
years were rendered helpless by the ele-
ments, but the fat girl turned UP with rud-
dy complexion and bearlike appetite at
each meal and got herself disliked as a re-
suit
The fat girl has never been connected
with a circus before. Neither had she ever
been TO sea until she boarded the Umbria.
On the passenger list she appeared as Marie

in weight but tall. Marie is only feet in
height, so that she resembles a giant sack
of potatoes tied at the middle.
Marie ate four and one-half pounds of
steak at every meal during the trip, and
had four such meals each day, with a little
tea" consisting of gridde cakes pint OF
