SHUTDOWN IN
ELEVEN STATES
Promises to Create General
Famine In BituninOus Coal
TNO-THIRDS OF MINERS OUT

Railroads, Mills and Shipping May Be
Forced to Use Anthracite, Resulting
In Raising the Price to Household
ers-strfe May Be Prolonged Far
Beyond the Present Indications
Chicago, April 3.-Although OPP
timistic reports are being received
from the soft coal regions throughout
the middle west that the present shut
down will be of short duration, the
fact remains that with the closing of
the mines more than 300, 600 soft
coal men have gone on strike.
These represent more than two
thirds of the soft coal miners in the
United States, and unless a settle
ment is reached speedily there is
bound to be an immense shortage in
the soft coal supply the coming sum-
mer.
If this forces the mills, railroads
and shipping interests to switch to
hard coal there is bond to be a great
er demand than supply for anthracite,
| which, in turn, will force up the price
and work severe hardship throughout
the country when families seek to lay
in their supply for household pur-
poses next winter.
Neither the coal operators nor the
United Mine Workers admit that the
present trouble amounts to a strike.
| They prefer to term it suspension, -
Out whatever name it goes under the
| production of coal has stopped in the
| districts affected and no one is able
| to say when it will be resumed.
Men familiar with coal conditions
assert that the supply of coal in Chi
cago or in cars on the way to the city
| will be sufficient to meet all purposes
for thirty days if fairly distributed.
Coal men believe the railroads will
come to the rescue of industrial plants
| if it should prove necessary, as the
| railroads have enough coal stored to
| last them two months.
In the eleven states affected by the
| suspension the shutdown is complete.
In the Pittsburg district, employing
about 40, 900 men and producing Co.
900, 900 tons, all the union men have

Internal strife of the United Mine
Workers may prolong the suspension
beyond present indications, according
to those who are familiar with condi-
lions. The situation is said to be most
| hopeless in western Pennsylvania and
in the southwestern states. In the
southwest it is believed that the mines
will remain closed for months, or as
long as the miners are able to hold
out, for the operators have declared
that they will not pay any increase in
wages.
In the Pittsburg district the trouble
is over the use Of explosives. The
mining laws Of Pennsylvania require
the use of certain kinds of explosives
which are considered least danger
Gus. The permissible explosive shat
tiers the coal much more than does
black powder, and as the miners are
paid for only screened coal, they assert
that the advance of cents a ton Of
fered by the operators is more than
offset by the use of the permissible
explosives The miners want an ad-
vance sufficient to give them a clear
increase of cents ton. The oper-
ators assert that the competition with
the non union mines of West Virginia
makes such an increase impossible.

HID H[aSELF IN HOME
Masked Burglar Kills One Woman
and Fatally Wounds Another

Springfield, Mass. April Miss
Martha B. Blackstone, aged 35, was
shot and instantly killed and Miss
Harriet Dow is dying following an en-
counter with a masked burglar in the
home of Mrs Saeah J. Dow shortly
before 8 O'Clock last night.
The scene of the shooting is in one
of Springfeld's fashionable sections.
The man who did the shooting had
evidently concealed himself in the
house before supper.
Mrs. Dow, her daughters, Harriet
and Lucy, had retired with Miss
Blackstone to the sitting room, and
were putting together jigsaw puzzles
when the man sprang from behind a
screen and, levelling pistol at the
four women, demanded money.
Mrs. Dow managed to gasp, 1--WE
have no money" and Miss Blackstone
arose and ran screaming toward the
reception room.
The burglar turned and fired at her,
the bullet entering her left breast and
penetrating the heart, killing her in
stantly.
With this he whirled around and
fired at Miss Dow. The bullet struck
her on the left side of the head and
she fell to the floor. The man then
turned and disappeared through the
front door. None of the women could
give an accurate description of the
burglar.

The number Of diseases peculiar to
women is such that we believe this

sure of this that we offer to supply
medicine absolutely free of all cost

satisfaction, or does not substantiate
our claims. With this understanding

There is only one way to overcome
catarrh. That way is through the

without petting more than temporary
relief at best. Catarrh in general is
a diseased condition of the system that

to be reached. That internal treat
ment should be scientifically devised

POST OFFICE is STILL
BUSY AT OLD STAND
Removal to New BUILDING
Yet Far Off.

The Americas postoffice was still
doing business at the old stand yes
terday, where it has been for a quar-
ter century, instead Of being removed
to the pretty little dove cote near the
Windsor, which Uncle Sam has grac-
iously erected for the conduct of his
affairs here.
And the old Dostoffice will con
tinue in the game for several weeks
possibly months-yet ere the new
mail box is finished.
Instead d. being ready for Occur
pancy yesterday, as enormously an
nounced a week ago the floor is not
even laid, the boxes and furniture not
put in, and other required work done,
which will consume much time.
The published report regarding the
possible removal yesterday was given
upon the statement Of Postmaster f. 2.
Mitchell, who on Saturday last, ne
week ago, in reply to inquiry, said the
postoffice would be removed to the
new building on Friday.
The inference, quite naturally, was
that the following Friday was the date
referred to-
Evidently, however, the urbane Off
cial was in a facetious mood and re-
ferred to no Friday in particular
just any subsequent Friday, though
this fact was not at all understood
by the news man seeking information
or others who heard the statement.
Perhaps on some Friday in March or
April the removal may be made-or
the date may be changed to a propit-
ious Monday.

Medical Inspection Of Pupils.
At this point would suggest that
our board investigate the question Of
medical inspection of the pupils of
the schools. This system is being adop-
ted by all Of the larger systems Of
schools in our country. Atlanta, Daw-
son and Savannah to a limited extent,
have adopted it. In a letter from Sup
erintendent Land, of Dawson, he in
forms me that it was found that co
per cent of the pupils Of the Dawson
schools showed up with some trouble.
In a conversation with a gentleman
from that place, he told me that it
had attracted a great deal of atten-
ton and was being followed up with
treatment by the parents of the chin
dren. Many of our children are, un-
known to us, suffering from diseases
WHICH will be a handicap to them all
of their lives, but which if taken now,
could be relieved. It has been found
that large percentage of the slow
and retarded children suffer from
some defect of vision, hearing, and
kindred troubles.
Would Cost But Little.
Many Of our boys are sapping their
energies by the use of cigarettes, con-
cealed from their parents and teach
ers, but which would be brought out
by the inspecting physician and re-
ported. The cost of this inspection
would be but little, but would result
in great saving to the taxpayers of
our city by having slow children re-
lieyed Of troubles which cause their
retardation and advanced with their
classes. Every child which is not pro-
noted is an additional burden to the
taxpayer. It viii be a matter Of sur
prise to some Of you to know that we
have in our schools two boys who
have been in the schools since 1901
and are now only in the third grade,
and I am afraid that one Of them is
likely to remain in that grade longer
You can figure what these boys have
cost the city of Americas during the
six years which they have lost I am
firmly of the belief that had the boys
been subjected to a physical test at
the beginning of their schooIsE and
each year since they might h3 t,e5sN,a
saved. If this matter, which I 70 sc
is one of vast Importance, is so con-
sidered by you, I shall investigate
this system and present same for your
future consideration
