COAL OPERATORS
ASK ROADS AID
Request Illinois Lines to Buy Fuel
from Eastern Mines to Pro-
tect Selves.

Chicago, June support Of the
railroads was yesterday asked by the
Illinois Coal Operators association
in its fight against the union miners
in the state. The operators asserted
that they had to whip the miners if
il took them all summer and they
asked the railroad managers to pro-
tect themselves by purchasing east
erE coal for a time.
Twenty-Five railroads were repre-
scented in the conference, and some
of the managers complained that
their stock of coal was almost ex-
hausted and that the strike was in
juring their business, as the coal
carrying traffic was entirely shut Off
from Illinois mines. The operators
explained that they were ready to
grant the same wage increase that
has been granted by the operators
in every other state, but that they
could not submit TO demands that
would place them entirely out of
competition with Indiana, Ohio and
competing states.

Green, who is nearly 20 years old.
is in Jail awaiting trial of the charge

seems from the stories told by the
witnesses of the fight that the vic
tim was the aggressor and in that
case Green may get OF easy, espec-
tally as he has borne an excellent
reputation in the past.
Jest Starts Trouble.
A jest by Green is said to have
caused the whole trouble. Coleman
made the statement that he was go
ing to have load of lumber car
ried" to Moline, meaning that he was
going to have it hauled, and Green
TESTED with him on his use of the
word carried and Coleman became
angry and struck Green, giving him
a black eye. A tussle followed and
the old negro was getting the worst
of it from his younger opponent I'M
til he managed to get a knife out of
his pocket and get 1t working. The
police were called and Green was
arrested. Coleman was taken to the
hospital, where it was feared for a
time that he would die.

Old Resident, Thought Tempo
rarily Insane, Ends Life
With Bullet.
is FOUND DEAD IN ROOM
Not Discovered Until Several Hours
After Deed Is Committed-Quits
Work Two Weeks Ago.

Fritz H. Hamm, thought to have
been temporarily insane, shot and
killed himself last night at his home
1T06 Eleventh street, Moline. His
body was found lying across a bed in

had fired bullet into his brain.

Mr.. and Mrs. Hendricks stated that
they did not hear the shot. They saw

calibre revolver was used
Hamm was a painter by trade, and
worked until two, weeks ago When
he quit working he gave as a reason
for doing so that scaling ladders made
him dizzy. His friends had noticed
recently that he was growing absent
minded, but they say that they never
heard him say that he was firing of
life.
Leaves Money to Son.
In Hamm's room two letters address
ed to his son, Frank Hamm, Duluth,
Mimi, were found, but neither con-
tanned any farewell message or other
word that would give a clue to his
motive for killing himself In the
envelopes there was S45.

been resident of Moline % years.
He is survived by three children, his
son in Duluth, and two daughters. Mrs
