BLOW
FOR KINGSTON

KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 10
1t is nearly 3 months since the
pounding, devastating earthquake
laid this beautiful English city of
the West Indies in ruins.
Slowly the conviction is forcing
itself even upon Jamaicans that
Kingston will never be rebuilt. Ex-
cept that the streets have been
cleared of debris. the city lies to-
day in practically the condition that
the earthquake left it Jan. H.
A few plank buildings have been
erected to accommodate certain
lines of business, but they are of
light, rude construction and cannot
be regarded as otherwise than tenn
porary. Nowhere is there sign that
any of the substantial structures are
to be rebuilt.
There is no money in the island.
Not man in Kingston but suffered
and most men lost their all The in
surance companies, without eXcep-
ton, have refused to pay any earth
quake claims, and investors of all
nations are giving the island a wide
berth.
Kingston's only hope now is a
loan from the imperial government,
and this rather a forlorn one, for
the fact that fully IS shocks, or on
an average of l a day. have followed
the destructive quake Of Jan. IA, has
probably served to convince the
home government. just as it has in
dividual investors, that the shore of
this beautiful bay is no place for
city.
The gloom of the great disaster
of Jan. IA still hangs over the city.
The funeral car is seen every hour
of the day, for the earthquake is
still claiming victims among those
who were injured or wrecked nerv-
ously on that awful afternoon.

SAYS COAL OIL WILL
BE SCARCE next FALL

G. A. Reid, vice president of the
Union Fuel & Ice Co., this morning
expressed an opinion that next win
ter would bring a worse coal short
age than last on account of labor
trouble in the Alberta mines. The
prospects for a strike there are
menacing, and the Canadian Paci-
fc has refused to ship any more
coal into the United States in order
to store up fuel for an emergency.
Several other mines in different
parts of the country have served
notice that they will agree to de-
liver no coal after August |. The
Sheridan mine, in Wyoming, cannot
supply nearly enough for the trade,
and the entire output of the Roslyn
mines is absorbed by the n. p.
However, winter is long way off
and the prospect of scarcity may
vanish before it is time to fire up
again.

WILL SUE CITY
FOR $4,000

Fred E. Chapman, the st. Louis
contractor who was arrested on a
charge of disorderly conduct and
released when Miss Libby Hulser
the complainant, disappeared. has
brought suit against the city for
$37 500 damages to character and
person. Chapman claims he was H.
legally imprisoned while in the po-
lice station asking for information
regarding a holdup of which he was
the victim few nights before. He
says further that while in Jail he
was compelled to sit on the edge of
the bathtub so as to keep clean. BY
reason of the foul food and air he
became sick.
Chief of Police Waller said this
morning with regard to the charges
that Chapman was merely trying to
clear his name in st. Louis of the
stigma caused by his arrest and the
publicity given to complaints of the
Hulser woman wherein she charged
Chapman with seduction, attempts
to shoot her and breach of promise.
She later brought suit for $4,000.
The case is still pending in the SUI
pericr court. Roche & Onstine are
her attorneys.
The police are still in possession
of a bench warrant issued by JUS
tice Hinkle for the Hulser woman
when she failed to appear to prose
cute. Detective Burns, of the cor
pOration counsel's Office, has been
given charge of the case and may
arrest the Hulser woman yet if her
whereabouts can be ascertained.

BUSINESS IS FALLING OFF
Railroads Say that Two-Cent Rate
Law Hurts Them-Has Not
Had Fair Trial.

But two weeks have passed since
the Minnesota 2-cent rate law went
into effect and yet earnings have fall
len of thousands of dollars, and only
in rare cases has the passenger traf-
fic increased, according to reports
from the different railroad Offices.
Some officials admit that the law
hasn't had a fair trial. owing to the
bad weather of the last two weeks,
which would have cut down travel in
any case, but others point out that
now single tickets are being pur-
chased between stations. where for
merly mileage books were used in
many cases and the sale of these
books since the law went into effect
has amounted to almost nothing.
Many persons who had purchased
mileage books before the passage of
the law have since that time attempted
to have them redeemed at the 2-cent
per mile rate, and of course were re-
fused by the roads. which in many
cases reused the indignation of the
holder of the book.

EXAMINATION FEE
BOOSTED BY
MED|CS
Old Line Insurance Men Do
Not Take Kindly to the
New Scale.

The life insurance companies do not
take kindly to the boost in the ex-
animation fee made by the state med
ical association at the recent meet
ing in MinOt. At the meeting it was
decided to boost the fee for making
examinations from So to S.. In some
places it is said the fee in the past
has been only $3.50. The action OF
the doctors at Minot was strenuously
resisted by two representatives of old
line insurance companies, who each
addressed the doctors.
Owing to the recent enactment of
rigid laws governing the old line life
insurance companies. it will not be
possible to meet the demand of the
doctors for an increase in the examin-
alton fee," said one of the two. I'VE
will not comply with the doctors de-
mands, but will continue to pay the
old feet. There are many doctors in
the state who are not members of the
association, and it appears that only
physicians who are members insist
upon the raise of fee"
The physicians on the other hand,
do not appear to care much one way
or another which way the controversy
terminates.
"This insurance company business
is nuisance to most Of us" said one
physician. THE fee we will ask in
the future is very reasonable, when
the extent of the examination demand
ed by the old line companies is taken
into consideration"

Quarters.

Bowbells Bulletin: What threaten

fire occurred at the residence of H. c..
Blenkner in this city last night.
The family retired for the night at
about $3.50, the youngest son. Ned,
leaving the lamp burning on a stand
near his bed. At about - o'clock he
was awakened by the odor of smoke
and found that his bed was afire. He
lost no time in vacating the blazing
bed and made an heroic effort to sub
due the flames. Finding that his eff
forts were of no avail. he gave the
alarm. The fire department respond
ed promptly and the blaze was soon
extinguished.
1t is thought that the fire was
caused by the lamp exploding and
casting it's burning contents onto the
