Chicago, Dec. 22.--Many society
women of Chicago were alarmed to-
day over the possibility that their
names might be dragged into the $2,.
100000 international smuggling case
for alleged participation in which 26
persons have been arrested here and
in New York and Boston.
Inasmuch as two of the accused
persons are Mrs. Mary X. Weber and
Mrs. Katherine Schwartz, fashionable
dressmakers patronized by Chlcago's
exclusive set, the investigation of
the alleged evasion of duties on i'm
ported gowns will be pushed here.
Agents of the collector of customs

society people who have purchased
gowns from the accused women, in
order to summon them as witnesses.
Mrs. Weber and Mrs. Schwartz were
released today on $4,000 bond each.

is ON the tip-toe of expectancy today
following reports that indictments
against at least three officers of coal
companies and several city officials
would be returned before night

city in the sale of coal.
Evidences showing certain persons
have been making thousands OF dol
lars annually by defrauding the city
is said . have been presented to the
grand jury and more testimony of
the same charat ter was prepared for
presentation today
States Attorney Wayman declined
to discuss the investigation. He con-
tented himself with stating that
whatever action the grand jury might
take would be sufficient explanation
of the p esent statute of the in =
quiry.
ID Is alleged that one coal company
alone profited to the extent OF $780,
00O in single year The evidence
is said TO have shown that the plan
by which the city was defrauded was
as follows:
Certain coal contractors would
present double barreled" bids. That
is, they would guarantee their coal
to be very high in evaporative quail
claims regarding the chemical analy-
ties but would make only modest
sis required. lit is said they would be
awarded the contracts on the
evaporative qualities of their coal
and it would be then tested ON a
chemical basis. In as much as they
made no great claim on the chemical
showing, their coal would readily be
accepted. 1t is alleged that much OF
the coal sold the city was so poor
that 1t would not burn and had to
be thrown away

They Cannot Specify the
Use to be Made of
Their Gas.
BY United Press Wire.


Columbus, o., Dec. 22-That a gas
company, either artificial or natural
cannot legally limit the use of gas
by a consumer TO any specified pur-
pose was declared by the supreme
court Tuesday, in affirming the cir
cult court of Clark county in the
case of the Springfield Gas company
against the city of Springfield.
There the artificial company absorb
ed the Natural Gas company, the
latter's franchise providing only for
the use OF natural gas for heating
and power purpose. Themerger
company sought to limit the use OF
natural gas to heating and power
because it sells for thirty cents,
while artificial gas sells for 81 per
thousand feet. The company threat
ened to shut natural gas out OF an
engine house of the city fire depart
ment because it was being used for
lighting purposes. The city secured an
Injunction and this the supreme
court made permanent Tuesday
The effect OF the decision is that
gas is property belonging to the
consumer after 1t passes his meter
and he may make any use OF II
he pleases. But this does not re-
leve the consumer who has will
ingly signed a contract not to use
the gas for lighting for that takes
