Local Retail Coal Dealers Seek
to Solve Carriage Problem
In a Growing City
PROFITS LOST IN CARRIAGE
The Dealers Have Held Several Meet
ings to Establish Boundaries for
Extra Charge Limits-No In
crease in Price of Coal


During the last ten days several
meetings have been held by the retail
coal dealers in the city and these
gatherings have given rise to the
report that an association was being
formed in Kenosha. This report is
denied by the dealers interested
in the meetings and it is stated
that the sole purpose of the meet
ing has been for the purpose of
arranging schedule for the delivery
|of coal. At the present time the
price of coal in Kenosha is $7.75 a
ton delivered to any point within or
near the limits of the city. It is
claimed by the dealers that the limits
of the city have been extended to such
an extent that it is no longer profit
able business to sell coal in the
suburbs as the cost of carriage is so
great that it eats up all the profit on
the coal. On this account plans have
been suggested for setting limits at
which free carriage is to be given, and
when the coal is to be delivered be-
yond these limits an added fee will
be charged. All of the coal yards are
situated about the docks and it is
about the same distance from each,
to any point In the city. At present
the dealers are forced at times to haul
coal for distance of, from two to
three miles without extra compensa-
ton and the delivery of single ton
of coal often takes the time of a man
and team for nearly half Gay. In
other cities regular limits are es-
tablished and beyond this limit the
cost for carriage is Is cents mile. It
is probable that this plan will event
ually be adopted in kenosha. There
is some discussion as to where the
limits are to be placed, but all the
coal men see the need of establishing
new charge for carriage.
AS soon as the matter is settled an
official announcement will be sent out.
However, it is probable that this
extra fee will increase the cost of
coal from Is to SO cents ton to people
residing in the extreme portions of
the city.
In speaking of the price of anthra.
cite coal for the winter one of the
lea ding dealers stated that it was his
opinion that the price now set woul6
remain the price for the winter
eKenosha people have been forunate'
he said, 'sas the Kenosha coal mer
did not raise the price of coal until
sixty days after it had been raised in
other cities in this neighborhood,
We gave all of the people chance tc
get in on the low price and the ad.
vance buying of coal was unusually
large. At the first of this month the
price to the retail merchants was ad-
vanced forty cents on the ton and al
that time we found it necessary to in.
crease the price twenty-five cents or
the ton. Of course if the weather
should be decidedly cold and the
winter be an unusually long one it is
very probable that the price of coal
will increase but with the usual
l.winter weather we look for NJ change
in price after this time"
| It is understood that every coal
dealer in the city is interested in the
new organization.

The conference between the president

New York legislature. The president
has in course Of preparation his an

question in that message with special
reference to federal legislation for the
regulation of insurance naturally de-
sired to confer with his close friends
as to the manner in which he should
treat the subject.
I, 1t is known that the conference con-
tinued until late hour. No details of

by the president or whether that sub

Harry 2 Tumelty. a messenger en-
ployed BY the New York Transfer Conn

the North River from the Erie feryyboat
Arlington just after the boat pulled out
from her Jersey City slip for her seven
o'clock "trip to New York. His deIiber-
ate drowning was witnessed by a nurn-
Der Of women and several men. For 4
few moments he sat in the ladies' cabin
Of the boat examining some reports. Hid
duty was to meet incoming trains and
take orders from passengers ID have
their baggage delivered. He had par
formed this work on an incoming train
from Tuxedo. He carried satchel con
tanning his reports and official eIorhinx.
After arranging the reports he was seen
70 suddenly arise from his seat ana
walk rapidly to the swinging doors lead
ing to the stern deck. BY the time be

and sank for the last time.
Passengers on PennsyIvania ferry
