FUEL FAMINE AT WALLA WALL
Committee Appointed to Investigate
situation.

The Walla Wala Union says Of the
fuel famine in that city and of the ef-
forts to relieve 1t:
The inability Of dealers to supply
the demand for coal in Walla Walla
has caused some CONSERVATION among
the citizens and the reports of the
possibility of n fuel famine this win
ter have created considerable un-
easiness. While there is an made
quate supply of coal, and the pros
poets are not favorable for any large
shipments in the near future, the deal
ers are of the opinion that the supply
of wood will be sufficient to prevent
any suffering.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Commercial club Friday night the
question of the fuel supply for Walla
Walla was discussed and a committee
consisting of II. II. Turner and Ben c.
Holt, was appointed to investigate ex-
listing conditions.

Cause OF Shortage.

S. B. Calderhead, general freight
and passenger agent of the w. & C.
r. railway, was present at the meet
ing and gave some valuable informa-
ton in regard to the cause of the
scarcity of coal at the present time.
He stated that the shortage was due to
the inability of the mining companies
to secure laborers and that most of
the output Of the mines was consumed
by the railway and steamship lines,
which are handling an unprecedented
volume of business. On account Of
the exceedingly heavy shipments of
all kinds OF freight throughout the
entire country it has been impossible
for the railroad companies to fill the
demand for cars, which fact also has
considerable to do with the coal
shortage.

Special to The Journal.
~ EVANSVILLE, Ohio, Feb. "a
~ For fifty years they have been
lovers, but not until each had
passed the century mark could Samuel
Kuhns and Sarah Jackson make up
their minds to wed. The ceremony has
just taken place in Penfeld township
Captain Kuhns is l01 and his bride
is a little over 100. She is a daughter
Of Andrew jackson and q relative of
Abraham Lincoln.
Behind this singular romance lies a
story of the war. The couple first met
in Springfield, ILL., Mr. Kuhn, born in
Richmond, enlisted in the Mexican war
and won captain g commission. In
the civil war he served under Grant
and Sherman. He was one Of the first
to 90 up against that terrible wall at
Fredericksburg, when men Of the union
were moved down like sheep under the
hail Of Confederate bullets. He was
at the taking Of Vicksbarg and was
in Sherman s. march, to the sea. He
was twice imprisoned In Libby.
Kuhns heard that his sweetheart was
married and for many years he wan
dered over the country, finally settling
in Columbus. At a recent reunion Of
army veterans the long parted couple
met again and renewed their old VOWS.

Up to Operators.

New York Herald Special Service.
New York. Feb. 24.--The formal de-
mands, affecting 100000 coalminers and
more particularly the $4,000 men en-
ploveA in the anthracite region, which
has been in the hands Of the United
Mine Workers committee for q week,
have been formulated at last. After
receiving few final touches, they were
mailed today to George f. Baer, presl-
debt of the Reading railroad and chair
mdn of the operators committee OF
seven. -
Among the things asked for are a
recognition of the union and remedy
ing of grievances originally formulated
at a convention held at Shamekin last
November. Since then this original
demand has been repeatedly revived,
but has met only now with final ap-
prevail of the. scale committee.
At a meeting Of the scale commit
tee of the Miners union, held today,
it was decided that the twenty-nine
members Of the committee should re-
turn to their homes in Pennsylvania.
Those that remain here. besides John
Mitchell, are J. D.. Nichols, Fahy and
Dettery, district presidents, and Secre-
tary Dempsey, Gallagher and Hartlein,
together with committee of seven Of
the operators.
This breaking up of the full commit
tee of thirty-six members was taken
to indicate that there would not be any
meeting Of the committee as a whole
for some time.

~ Els MONIES, Feb. 24.-Informa-
tion received at Des Moines to-
night gives almost positive as
surances that the railroad lobby which
has been at the capital ever since the
legislature opened, six weeks ago, will
be subjected to official investigation
on the charge by Governor Cummins in
a recent open letter, announcing his
candidacy for a third term, that the
railroads are using money to beat the
primary bill now pending.
The senate has adopted resolution
asking the governor for specific facts.
Tonight it became known that the
house would pass the resolution, and
also that Governor Cummins possesses
sufficient evidence of sensational
character, which, after he gives it to
the assembly, will form the basis of an
investigation.
Primary Doomed to Defeat.
The state wide primary election bill
one Of the Cummins reforms before the
present legislature, is doomed to de
feat by fusion of the stand pat and
democratic members. There are 1O(
members of the house, Of whom twenty
one are democrats. Of the republicans
Governor Cummins has bare MAORI

the stand-patters had effected com

the defeat Of the bill is certain. In

however, the attitude of the senate

~ HICAGO, Feb. 24.-The fear of a
4 rgreat coal strike April / was intensi-
- fed today by the report brought
from New York by H. N. Taylor, chair
man of the scale committee Of the Hill
nois Coal Operators association. Mr..
Taylor has been east, and while there
he incidentally held several confer
ences with President John Mitchell Of
the Miners union.
81 can see no reason to hope that
the strike will be averted,' said, MIR.
Taylor today. "In New York / met
Mr.. Mitchell several times. +. l.. Rob
bins of the Pittsburg district was also
there as an individual operator. We
discussed the situation from every point
Of view, and my opinion that strike
seems inevitable was strengthened.
''First. the Ryan resolution Of the
miners, (which prevents an adjustment
of wages in one district unless the
agreement covers the entire industry
is in the way. This measure cannot be
rescinded unless the miners call an
other convention, which is not probable
t'Second. there is the question OF
wages. This cannot be adjusted ex
cept in a conference between the inter
ested parties, and at this time l do not
see any prospect Of negotiations being
opened again.
eff the strike comes, the first in
jury will be to the. miners. They claim
to have several million dollars on hanc
for strike benefits. When this is di
vided among the miners and their fami
lies, it will be found that there is about
81 for each person. -.
Mr. Taylor said there was no at
tempt being made, to unite anthracite
and bitunlinous operators. -.
