SEATTLE. Nov. 28.-Big freight ves-
sells were loading coal at the bunkers

outside the gates and We're denied fuel.
To get an order for domestic coal filled
it is necessary to place it three weeks
in advance.
West Seattle and Seattle schools have
suffered as well as industrial concerns.
The coal shortage made itself mani
fest about two weeks ago and was at
tributed then to the inability of com
panies to get their coal from the mines
to this city Other reasons now as
signed, one of them being that the COM
panies owning the mines were curtafI-
ing their output as a measure of re-
taliation in the matter of the new rate

in his parish. Captain Duke was then
called to the stand and corroborated
the testimony OF all these witnesses.
He told of the raid that he conducted

as to the establishment at $40 Jackson
street.
You have heard this place referred
to as the Municipal House?" ques-
toned Prosecutor Heney.
Il have" replied Duke.
Did you not know that it was be-
ing run in violation of decency and
order?"
I understood just what kind of a
place it was"
why did you not raid it?"
Il had several conferences with
Chief Dinan on the matter, and we con-
cluded that raid on this place was not
advisable"
How is that?'
OFFERING NEW EXCUSE
The Chief wanted to reduce the evil
of prostitution as much as possible
and he thought that if he raided this
place the inmates might become scat
tered and invade residential sections
of the city
Was that your only reason for not
raiding the placer"
1T certainly was"

to the stand he said that he made
detailed report on the house at $40
Jackson street or September 29, and
that no effort was made to close it.

as he said that Chief Dinan had recent

last Saturday and said was not made
earlier because of difficulty IN securing
conclusive evidence that the place was

Arnold had cooked it unconscious

accidently discharged the weapon.
Kelly afterward denied that he had
left his employer in the lurch or had
made any disturbance in the kitchen.
He said that both he and the dish.
