Fuel Famine In Seattle.

SEATTLE, Jan. 15.-Seat.le suffered
severely yesterday from the cold
spell. In many homes furniture was
broken up for fuel and old antiques
which have been saved up from grand
mothers days went under the ak.
The charitable societies had many
requests for aid which they were un-
able to grant, as they, like the gen.
sral public, were unable to purchase
the coal or wood which every one so
eagerly sought.
A public mass meeting held in the
afternoon to suggest means of reliev.
ing the fuel shortage took action, call
ing on the Pacific Coast company, the
largest operator of coal mines in this
section, to increase the output of its
mines by putting on additional men,
paying a bonus if necessary, the added
cost to be borne by the consumer.
Citizens of Fremont, a northern
suburb of Seattle, raided a carload
of coal intended for use in the school
buildings of the North End, and in
two hours every pound of the thirty
tons had been carried away. The fuel
famine in Fremont and Green Lake
has caused acute suffering.
Saturday a carload of coal arrived,
consigned to Reuben w. Jones, secre.
tary of the school board. The citi
zens of Fremont took charge of the
car, teams were pressed into service,
and the fuel distributed among the
householders. There was no VIC
lence.

night, which caused the water plant at
Electron to freeze, resulting in much
inconvenience and distress in Tacoma.
The city pumping plants are out Of

unprecedented in the Puget sound

Kingston Destroyed BY Earthquake

New YORK, Jan. l5.-Kingston,
Jamaica, has been destroyed by an
earthquake and there has been great
loss of life, according to reports re.
ceived here late this afternoon. The
Western Union Telegraph company
that its cable communica.
ton with Kingston has been u off
and that communication with Panama
via Kingston is also cut off. Later
advices report that communication has
been restored to within five miles of
the city of Kingston.
Kingston is the capital and prin.
cipal city of the island of Jamaica,
one of the British possessions in the
West Indies. The city has a popula.
ton of more than $4,000, and four

merged by tidal waves following an
earthquake in 1898.
Jamaica lies about 80 miles due
south of the province of Santiago,
Cuba. It is an island, LA miles in
length from east to west, and from
2l4 to 40 miles in width. Kingston is
in the southeastern portion of the
island, and is the center of very ex.

A SERIOUS SITUATION.

The coming of the A., b. & A. ex-
cursion to the city the other night
has again served to demonstrate the
fact that Brunswick needs, ana needs
badly, another commercial hotel, a
MOTEL which will be in position to
serve the people at moderate prices.
The News has directed attention to
the fact time and time again. that
Brunswick is not in position to care
for the general tarffic to the city, and
the condition existing Tuesday night
was simply something fierce. These
people-eight hundred Of them-came
from along the line of the A.. b. *
A and We're anxious to come and
spend day or two in the deep water
terminus of the new line. They slaQ
read of BrunswicB's growth and de-
velopment. of her encouragement to
strangers to come within her gates.
and surely they must have been
.cnagrined when they found the hotels
too crowded to take them and the
lodging houses in the same condition
me News understands that some OF
these visitors we're forced % pay as
high as $3.50 for single beds for
nights lodging-or sleep in the
streets.
The whole truth of the matter is
that Brunswick needs. and just must
have more homes. There is scarcely
an hour in the day that we are not
asked for direction as to means to
procure houses on the part of people
who are moving to Brunswick to live.
The Oglethorpe is always well
crowded, so is the Central, and these
newcomers actually have a serious
time finding places to eat and sleep.
The matter is serious one, and
the active and live business people
of the city ought to take hold of the
situation and remedy it in some way.
1t does not stand very well for our
boosted southern hospit Pity to in
vite people to Bruns~i and then
further invite them to Sleep in the
streets.

very next day after this hasco. The
News announqfd that the bond was
n sality notsworth the paper upon
wFsch it was written. The council
Ems .gted that we were wrong in the
stae ment and now in a spirit Of
faithess and equity, in justice to the
taxpayers and the people Of Bruins
wick. We simply ask the city council
to collect the bond. or at least to
make some effort in that direction.

WHAT is THE COUNCIL GOING
TO DO ABOUT IT9

AS a taxpayer of the city of Bruins
wick, The News calls upon the mayor
and council of the municipality to
proceed with the collection of that
Nef bond This bond, which is In
the sum of $4,000. was pledged with
the city as a guarantee OF a certain
performance on the part of ]. H.
Neff and his associates. At that par
ticular time in the city, there was a
local company formed to construct a
system of trolley lines. They were
representative business men and had
previously arranged for the financing
of the plan. They asked council for
the franchise, agreeing to put up
$4,000 in cash as surety for faith
full performance of the work and. for
the construction of the line, under
the terms of the franchise. The
council saw fit to turn this splendid
proposition down, and entered into
contract with Nef and his associates
for the builuing of the line, the lat.
ter people filing with. the city bond
in the sum OF $4,000 with well
known surety company, the terms Of
which provided that the amount Of
the indemnity should revert to the
city in case Neff failed to carry out
his contract. Ner did fail to carry
out his agreement with the city of
Brunswick. and although this bond
was approved by the legal depart
ment of the city and was pronounced
safe and binding, not one effort has
been made to collect the money just
~ due the city under iUs terms. The
city is constantly borrowing money
at per cent interest. and here, ac-
cording to its own action, it has an
asset of $4,000 that could be turned
into cash.
The News feels that the people of
Brunswick are entitled to this money:
1t belongs to them, and there should
at least be some effort made towards
ats collection The people of this
city will recall that when this bond
was filed with the cVv, in fact on the

Certainly it disregards the rights of
society to no small extent. It may
be better that hundred guilty men
90 free than that one innocent man
be punished, but as an obseryant
Frenchman said, the hundred guilty
men and many times the hundred,
have already gone free.
The trouble is not so much the
danger of conyicting the innocent
man, but the great difficulty in con
victing the guilty one. That is one
reason why there is so much lawIess-
ness in this country today.

COLD STORAGE
Makes Thanksgiving Turkey Unfit to
Eat M

Beware Of the Thanksgiving tur-
key. This Is the warning OF DIR.
Harvey d. Wiley, United States gov
ernment food expert
The average Thanksgiving bird is
taken from the cold storage ware.
house and is not fit to cat. It does
not taste good and 1t is bad for the
stomach.
act the housewife get a fresh
turkey, superintend the killing and
do her own hanging IL the bird is to
he hung" is DR.. Wiley's advice on
the subject.
"A couple OF weeks hanging In the
open air in cool weather will not
hurt the average bird. But a cold
storage bird hung two weeks in the
open will not be flt to eat"
The government expert knows no
way in which the housewife may de-
tect cold storage turkey from a
fresh one. There is, however, a very
great difference.
Examination under microscope
shows the tissues of these storage
meats to I've deterlorated and often
to be impregnated with injurious
forms Of animal life and with chem
ical compounds not good for the d.
gestion.
The cold storage bird is different
In color from the freshly killed one.
To the expert Il smells differently
and tastes differently.
Invariably the storage meat, even
when II has been kept as short time
as three months, was detected In
some cases storage meats are kept
from two to six years.
