THREATENS TO SUE
FOR VALUE OF COAL
FIREMEN APPROPRIATE Fuel
TO FIGHT FLAMES
President of Black Canyon Company
Declares More Combustlble Was
Taken Than Reported by
Driver Of Engine

John E. Murray, president of the
Black Canyon Coal company, yesterday
threatened to bring suit for damages
against the city unless the fire COM
mission took steps to adjust his claim.
One little thing makes it difficult Tor
the commission to do the adjusting Mr..
Murray asks. He does not know the
amount of his claim.
81 would have accepted $50 or $40 OF
any little thing like that if it had been
offered me when the trouble occurred,
said Mr.. Murray yesterday.
The trouble on which Mr.. Murray
bases his claim occurred on the morn
ing of January 2. big fire at SIX
teenth and Alameda streets called sew
eral fire engines to the place and after
fighting the flames fiercely for some
time the supply of coal on the engines
began to give out. The engines sound
ed the ''coal wanted" signal, and one of
the drivers of an engine began to look
for a coal supply. The fire department
has the privilege in case of emergency
of appropriating coal wherever it may
find it and the amount taken is later
paid for by the city Driver Carlson
found the Black Canyon coal yards at
Alameda and Washington and broke
open the gates. He secured eleven
sacks of coal, according to the report
made by himself and others connected
with the matter, which he distributed
among the fire engines working at the
place In April a demand was APP
proved by the fire commission for
eleven sacks of coal in favor of the
Black Canyon company for $S25, the
retail price of the coal.
Many Empty Sacks Gone
Before he knew of this demand Mr..
Murray began investigation, and de-
clares that the result of this inVestiga-
ton showed that at least thirty sacks
of coal had been taken and 1000 empty
sacks were missing. He does not di-
rectly accuse the firemen of taking all
these thirty sacks of coal and thousand
empty sacks, but believes they are re-
sponsible for the loss for leaving his
yard unprotected after breaking the
gates. In his report the driver stated
he had replaced the staple he had
wrenched off in breaking open the
gates and left the gates fastened. Mr.
Murray said there was not a staple
on his place and that his gates were
fastened by especially constructed
plates.
Mr.. Murray suggested that an arbi-
tration committee be selected to settle
the amount to be paid, and declared if
this was not done he would bring suit
to recover damages.
The fire commission referred the mat
ter to the city attorney to see if it has
power to appoint an arbitration COM
mittee.

GOOD GAINS MADE IN WHEAT MARKET The Official Crop Report Sends Prices Up Very Rapidly DEMAND IS VERY LIVELY BulIish Crop Report is Responsible for Sharp Advance in Price of Corn.
 Oats Close Strong and
 Provisions Irregular.
DEMAND IS VERY LIVELY

Chicago, September S.-The government report had bullish effect on the wheat market here today and prices at the close showed net gains of 5sc to zsc. Corn and oats also advanced sharply on the bull fish showing of the official crop statistics. finals being up ssc to 1Ac. Provisions were irregular.
 General disposition to await. the gov ernment figure on the new crop of wheat in the United States caused dullness in the wheat pit throughout the entire day, the report not being given out until 15 minutes prior to the close. It was ex- pected that the report would be extremely bullish on corn and would show a slight deterioration in the condition of spring wheat. This tended to create some anx- iety among shorts who covered moderate ly all day which resulted in a fair de- gree of strength throughout the greater part of the session.
 The report. when made public, con- firmed the fears in regard to the corn crop, the loss in condition being estimated at 9S per cent during August and showed a deterioration of 8 points in spring wheat.
 This brought out quite general demand in the final minutes of the session and caused quite an advance in all the months. The close was firm at almost the top De- cember ranged between 94Ac and 95ssc and closed at 95c to 95lec
 Expectations of a bullish showing of the government report on the new crop of corn caused firmness in the corn market early in the day, but later weak tone developed owing to a slump in cash prices due to greatly increased receipts and a slackening of eastern demand. The mar ket, however, gained fresh strength fol- lowing the publication of the official figurec on the condition of the crop which confirmed the earlier fears and indicated falling off of nearly 10 points during last month. The trading was active dur ing the final 15 minutes and prices ad- vanced more than cent for all deliveries The range on December for the day was between 57asQ671ko and 5sAc. The market closed strong and only trifie below the best figures of the day with December at 591sc
 Trade in the oats pit was exceedingly dull throughout the entire day and prices were inclined to follow the trend of wheat | and corn.
 I The government report was entirely dis | regarded, the trade in general being con- | vinced that the crop will be one of the largest ever harvested. The market closed firm with prices 14c to ssc higher. The feature of trading in provisions was a mild furry in Septmber pork, due to covering by shorts. The remainder of the list was heavy on realizing sales. At the close prices were 200 lower to 15c higher, the latter being in September pork
 Leading futures ranged as follows
