FUEL FAMINE IN NEVADA
Sickness and Death May Follow in
Wake of the Storm

RENO. New. Dec. 1.-Unless the fuel
famine in Nevada is broken immedi-
ately suffering and sickness and per-
haps death will follow in the wake OF
the storm which has ragged for the past
two days in Southern Nevada. Coal
cannot be obtained in Goldfield or
Tonopah, and wood is bringing ex-
orbitant prices. Ties and telephone
poles are being burned, but trainload
of wood is being rushed into Southern
Nevada and the famine in Goldfield and
Tonopah will in all probability be re-
lieved before many days.
The fuel famine extends over the en-
tire State, and even In this city coal
cannot be purchased Wood can still
be secured here, but only in small
quantities and at very high prices
GOLDFIELD, Dec. IA fuel famine
exists in this camp, the supply of wood
being exhausted. Wood from the hills
was bid UP by competitive buyers, the
record price being $40 a cord. The rail-
road is bringing in old ties scattered
along the right of way. These ties are
disposed of in lots not greater than a
quarter of a cord at low prices. Hun
dreds of cords were on the way. but

BURN FACTORIES OF
TOBACCO TRUST
Kentucky Growers Apply
the Torch to Fight Cor
poration Control of Market
COME IN BIG MOB
MOB

LOUISVILLE. KY, Dec IA spe-
cial from Princeton, KY, says that the
tobacco stemmeries of John Steger and
John G. Orr. the latter controlled by
the Imperial Tobacco Company, were
destroyed early today by fire which
was kindled by a mob of masked men.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.
The mob, which numbered about 500
men, entered Princeton between l and
o'clock, seized the night Town Marshal
and disarmed him. They then went to
the factory and quickly applied the
torch. The masked men stood on guard,
permitting nobody to come near until
the buildings were completely envel-
oped in flames and help was useless A
squad of the mob took charge of the
telephone office and no word of the
affair was permitted to get out.
When the mob saw that the fire was
beyond control the members left the
town, going in the direction of Hop
kinsville, discharging revolvers and
rifles as they departed. When the fire
department arrived 1t could do nothing
more than prevent the fire from de-
stroying buildings in the vicinity. The
Steger stemmery was located on the
! south SIDE or the Town. on the llllHolS
Central Railroad, and the Orr building
in the northern part of the town.
The mob, in addition to cisarming
the night policeman, took charge of
the police station and the water works.
Even had the fire company responded,
/ they would have been unable to obtain
a supply of water The work of the
mob is believed to be only further
/ ance of the agitation by the tobacco
raisers against the tobacco trust. The
! organization of farmers is known as
the Dark Tobacco Growers Protective
Association, but it is not known that
any member of that organization was
in last nights mob.
Mott Ayres, State Fire Marshal, left
I for Princeton today to investigate the
| incendiarism of the two tobacco fac
tories. He has the powers of a Grand
/ Jury to summon witnesses and require
/ them to testify under OATH
1t is not improbable that Governor
/ Beckham will be asked to call out the
! militia to protect property in those dis
tircts in view of past outrages.
c. F. Snyder, secretary of the State
Board of Fire Underwriters. says that
I the insurance companies will not be
! responsible for the loss of the plants
under the clause exempting them in
cases of riot and invasion.
The Protective Association was
/ formed throughout the dark tobacco
district and severe measures were
/ taken against growers who refused to
fjoin it. Marauders visited their farms
at night and cut down their tobacco
plants with hoes set fire to their barns
and committed other depredations.

TRIES To BLOW UP
JAPAN WARSH|P

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 1.-Advices
were received today by the steamer
Ceylon from Yokohama of an attempt
to blow up the Japanese cruiser Iwate
by a sailor who was a prisoner on
board. The seaman, while walking
with guards. suddenly seized a lighted
piece of rope and rushed to the six
inch magazine, which was in course
of repair. The guards, frightened.
stepped back, and the sailor was break
ing a powder case to apply the light
when workmen seized him and dragged
him from the magazine. The Admiralty
reports that the cruiser narrowly es-
capped being destroyed by the desper-
ate man.

most of them wealthy and at least four

taking advantage OF the extremity of

Officials of the San Francisco Gas
and Electric Company. which manufac-
lures gas from oil almost exclusively,
say the methods of the Southern Pa
cihc have enabled the dealers to adj
vance the price of coal to so high a
figure, and there are those who are of
the opinion that the railroad company
is in on the deal The railroad is not
bringing in as much oil as is required,
complaining that the congestion of
freight has made this impossible. AS
2 result those who would burn oil If
they could get it are forced into the
market in search of coal.
An examination of these facts seems
to disclose the existence of a com
bination in violation of the Sherman
act. The Federal Grand Jury might

Coal Famine Grows Worse In the

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash. Dec. L.
The coal situation in the Yakima Val
ley is growing worse. The weather IS
colder and some families in the city
are suffering. The Northern Pacific
has five cars of coal on the tracks here
and citizens are organizing to make a
raid upon it, as the railroad company
refuses to sell any. The people of va
kima City, four miles south of this
place, are in desperate straits, and de-
clare that they will capture the first
coal car that comes through the town.

There is also a scarcity of coal. When

Mutinous sailors, sappers, and miners
seized Fort Constantine at Cronstadt
Russia. Wednesday night, but subse
quently were dislodged and compelled
to surrender, after heavy fighting with
loyal regiments. One hundred men
were killed and many were wounded
including Admiral Boaklwishoff. Some
of the mutineers succeeded in board

plans to secure possession of the Bal
tic squadron and provoke an immediate
rising at Cronstadt, greatly changes the
situation. The arrangements for order
ing a general strike Saturday may be
countermanded. The strike in Fin
land already is failure, as the more
intelligent of Firms did not support it.
The latest reports show that all rumors
that the Baltic squadron was in the
hands of mutineers are untrue.
Earlier in the day yesterday the
widest rumors were in circulation
which caused the utmost alarm which
were increased by the fact that tele-
phone communication with Cronstadt
was again interrupted, and it was as
serted that four mutinous warships
had arrived in Cronstadt.

A fusion county ticket will undoubt.
edly be the result of the democratic
and independent county conventions
which take place in Brattleboro tomor-
row, the former in Festival hall and
the latter in Grange hail. Both gather
ings are called for / o'clock, and it
is probable that the first business will
be the choice of conference commit
tees to talk over the question of can
didates. The makeup of the tick

of Wilmington is likely to be the cam
didate for senator from the southern
district and John f. Gale of Guilford

is expected that some surprises will de-
