REMAINS At PRESENT LEVEL
There Will Be No Increase in Price
of Coal Says Simon BAN
berger.

Simon Bamberger, president of the BAN
berger Coal company. announced yester-
day that there would be no increase in the
price of coal either by the producer or the
retailer. Mr.. Bamberger stated that the
increase of % cents per ton, which has
already been made, was not caused by the
ficulty in getting teams. He details the
history of the reduction of a year ago
and the recent increase as follows:
The Bamberger Coal company does not
own its own teams and depends on con-
tractors for the delivery of coal to its Gus
toners. About a year ago during the
business depression there was a surplus of
teams and the team contractors were
making more money than the retailer. j
compelled the contractors to accept con-
tract which called for the payment of 30
cents per ton for haulage instead of 20
cents and gave the consumers the benefit
of this reduction. The other dealers were
compelled to meet this price and the pub
lie received the benefit.
During this fall. however there has
been so much building work and street
work that it was impossible to secure
proper service for our customers at 80
cents per ton. When l discovered this
restored the former price of 10 cents. al
though the contract had not expired, in
vice. The increased price does not go to
the dealer but to the hauler. and there
has been practically no advance in the
price of coal. simply restoration of the
old rate which was reduced under pecu-
liar conditions There will be no further
increase either on the part of the pro-
Queer or the retailer"

ECHO OF M'WH|RTER CASE

One of the last echoes of the famous
McWhirter robbery was heard before the
supreme court yesterday in the argu-
ments for new trial of the case against
James Donaldson Donaldson. who was
the Beau Brummel of the bunco gang
that robbed the McWhirters. was SEN
fenced to ten years in the penitentiary for
his part in the robbery. All OF the others
connected with the case escaped scot free
Samuel A. King. who argued the case
for Donaldson. made the contention that
Judge Armstrong erred in ruling that win
ming money in gambling game provid-
ing that the game was not an honest one
was larceny. He also declared that there
was not sufficient evidence 10 show that
the game was anything other than an or
binary game OF poker. or that there was
anything crooked about the game. He
also made the statement that the lower
court had erred in admitting testimony
concerning what had taken place outside
Of the presence OF the defendant.
Arthur r. Barnes, assistant attorney
general. argued the case for the state. He
cited a long list of authorities unfolding
the position taken by Judge Armstrong in
his rulings.

DEM|hG HAS HEMORRHAGE
Convict Declared to Be Shamming in
Effort to Reach Prison
Hospital.

Was Arthur Deming jealous of the lat
est Sullivan and Majors episode at the
state prison, in which. from all that is
known. the plan was TO leave him behind
the bars2 With this thought sinking into
his mind during the past few days, did
he attempt to duplicate his former feat
of escaping from a hospital? From the
incidents of yesterday the answer is yes.
During Monday afternoon Deming was
apparently taken sick and was the vic
tim of hemorrhages, blood squirting from
his mouth. The prison physician, DR.. A
C Young. was called, and it is under
stood that he pronounced the sickness a
sham.
A Herald reporter made an endeavor to
interview Prison Physician Young last
night, but the only response that could be
obtained to questions was that it was an
outrage to disturb the doctor late at night.
From the officials at the prison, how
ever. ii was learned that Deming, in spite
of his clever attempt TO be removed from
his solitary cell to the prison hospital
quarters is still inhabitating his cell. and
that the failure of his scheme has had a
wonderful effect in his recuperation-
