COAL MARKET ALMOST
IN A NORMAL CONDITION
Fuel Bought at High Prices
Only Disturbing Element.

The local coal market has finally
reached normal condition. There Is
practically no premium coal offered for
sale, and little difficulty is experienced
in procuring all of the fuel needed at
the rates authorized by the railroad
companies. The price is set by the
Reading Company a. $7.25 for the stove
sizes. and most of the independent
operators have finally reduced their
prices to figures that permit their coal
to pc sold at that figure.
An unsettling element, however, is the
fact that there still remains in the city
a considerable quantity of coal that was
bought at higher figures than the retail
market now commands This coal was
laid in by the local dealers to provide
an emergency reserve. Up to the first Of
the year the demand had been so great
It had been impossible to accumulate
such a reserve, and 1t was only obtained
with the greatest difficulty This coal
cost the local dealers from IS 70 81 4
ton. There are from $500 to 5000 tons
scattered throughout the city. The
price at retail is now. with few excep-
lions. Sf.23.
Dealers have been TO unusual expense
this year in obtaining and handling coal
and they naturally are disincIfned 10
stand this loss If they can avoid it. As
a consequence there is a feeling that
despite the abundance OF coal on hand
any stress of weather or delay in traffic
may be taken advantage of to force
temporarily the price to such figures as
viii enable the holders Of this coal to
cIee- themselves on the transaction.
While such an advance would be but
temporary the rapid waning of the win
ter season makes 1t each day more
probable
The bituminous market is still some
what unsettled and the prices high and
varying The conditions are such that
little permanent relief is looked for be
fore the spring.

CRAVE CHARGE AGAINST
DEPUTY MARSHAL LACEY
Accused of Hindering Work
Of the Detectives.
A TRIP WITH A PRISONER
discriminating Evidence on the Point Of
Disappearing, and Conviction Might
Have Been Made Impossible.

Charges of interfering with the ends
of justice have been preferred against
John s. Lacey, United States deputy
marshal in charge Of prisoners at the
Police Court. which he will be called
upon to explain upon the return to the
city of his superior, Marshal Aulick
Palmer. The trouble is said 20 have
occurred last Monday, when but for the
watcbfulness Of one of the head
quarters detectives certain evidence he
was seeking would have been made away
with
Complaint had been made to the de-
tective Office by Henry c. Sparrow. a
reporter, that $3.50 had been stolen from
coat ne had sent to be cleaned and
pressed. and in which he thou ghtlessly
left the money Detectives JornweIl,
O'Brien and Lacy we're assigned to the
case. and several arrests made. Philip
Newton, who keeps a cleaning establish
ment on Fourteenth Street. was ar
rested by Detective Henry Lacy on a
charge Of having abstracted the money
from the clothing, which Sylvester
Thomas, bellboy at the Regent Hotel,
had taken to him to be cleaned.
In the Police Court preliminary hear
ing WIS waived and Newton committed to
Jail TO await the action OF the grand
jury.
Shortly afterward Detective Lacy saw
the prisoner entering carriage with his
attorney and Deputy Marshal Lacey.
When they returned from q trip to
house on r Street, where Newton's wife
is employed, the deputy marshal said the
prisoner had not been out oE his $ ght,
but he refused to tell the detective where
they had been OF what had tra4spired,
although he was told that the detective
was looking for certain money as evi-
dence, and vas appealed to as a United
States officer not to be party in defeat
ing the ends Of justice.
Detective Lacy reported the facts TO
Captain Boardman, and in turn Major
Sylvester called upon the Marshal's Of
ice FOR an explanation. II then de-
veloped that Newton had entered the
house on r Street with the deputy
marshal and had told his wife where to
find two S20 bills which he had secreted
under a carpet. This money was paid to
the attorney as a retainer. On learning
that IT was supposed 10 be the proceeds
OF crime the attorney paid it over to the
police officials with the understanding
he did not concede any guilt on the part
of his client.
The money consisted Of two $50 gold
certificates, such as had been taken from
the clothing. These the officers look
upon as important links in their chain
of evidence, The police officials claim
that the deputy marshal exceeded his
authority when he undertook TO accom-
pany the prisoner to his home. and that
his refusal to give Detective Lacy in
formation when properly called upon to
do so was a serious error on his part

Separate Protocols Demanded by EngIand-Mr.
Bowen Satisfied-The Presidents Position.

While all points CT personal difference

formed them that he regards the meth
eds in which the President was brought
into the negotiations as unfair to him

In a verbal statement to the foreign

they should have informed MIN Of the

FEARFUL
OF FURTHER TROUBLE
Police Profess Ability to
Prevent Disorder.

WATERBURY, Conn, Feb. There
were active preparations this morning
in Waterbury by the civil authorities to
prevent a repetition of the troubles Of
last Saturday night. The recurrence of
stOne-thTOwing on all the lines OF tha
railway companies. last night, was re-
garded by many citizens with apprehen-
sion today. and the fear was expressed
that trouble would follow the congrega-
tion of the usual Saturday night crowds.
The police officials, however. declared
that they considered the force OF police
and deputies fully ample to cope with
such situation, and it is believed the
crowds can be handled without trouble.

first protocols had not reached Minister
Bowen, and he did not consider il likely
that the signatures would be affixed
today.
England Wants Separate Protocols.
Great Britain is the instigator OF the
idea of separate protocols She has
taken this course in order to offset
the notion that she desires to continue
the alliance with the other two powers.
II the matter were to be settled in the
form of a joint convention, such action
would make 1t appear that Great Britain
was satisfied with the present arrange
ment and wished to remain a party to
the alliance.
VIII Guard Italy's Interests.
Both Great Britain and Germany have
shown disposition to sidetrack Italy in
the negotiations. Mr.. Bowen. however,
has declared that he would protect
ItaIy's interests. There is no doubt here
that Great Britain would have been glad
to break with Mr.. Bowen. but the latter
had the situation so well in hand that
the allies we're forced to accept either
one OF two proposals made by him. three
months preference in the customs or
sending that phase of the question to
The Hague.
Unable to induce the President to act,
the allies have been forced to return to
Mr. Bowen.
The Hague Against Preferences.
1t is now deemed almost certain that
The Hague viii take a firm stand against
preference, according to views expressed
from the first by officials Of the Admin
istration. Should this opinion prove cor
rect, then the allies will lose even three
months concession offered by Mr.. Bowen

DEMOCRATS HOLD KEY
IN DELAWARE FIGHT
Another Futile Perfunctory
Vote Today.

DOVER, Del, Feb. THE Legislature
met late this morning and a purely per-
functory vote was taken for the tao

sentatives of the three fsctions-the

crats-cast votes, which had been ar
ranged for yesterday, when most Of the
legislators left town with J. Edward
Addicks.
The situation cannot be changed until
the regular session next Monday. anI
there is little likelihood that matters
will be any nearer settlement Mondav
night than today The regulars ka.e
asked for time to consider Addicks' ca
Gus proposal. The Unions declare that
the offer will stand open TO the ena Of
the session. but that no compromises
viii be considered. They demand the
selection of Addicks ard one Addicks
man. or the selection of two Addicks men
or nothing.
Regulars Oppose Majority Rule.
The regulars do not care to go into
caucus in which at the start they have
only the show that ten have against
twenty-one. when the majority rules.
The alternative of eIeeting two of the
men who have supported Addicks seems
to them almost as unpleasant as eIecting
the gas man himself
In this dilemma the Democrats, pro-
viding they are willing TO unite with
the regulars in the election OF two
regular Republicans. hold the key to the
situation. Many believe that such a
proposition is the only solution of the
present hopeless tapgie.
