ers Here to Double Orders.

Though domestic sizes Of anthracite are
now at their highest price OF S so. consum-
ers in this city were eager yesterday to I'LL
their cellars at a premium, fearing the
strike predicted for April might send the
prices still higher. 1t was stated that while
the coal carrying companies had not ad-
vanced prices, independent companies were
selling anthracite at premium OF from So
cents to 81, and sometimes more, on the
regular April price. The result was that
dealers Yesterday found most OF their Gus
toners doubling and trebling their usual or
ders.
Charles A. Blaisdel, OF the finn of j.
Samuel Smoot, No. 5N East 56th street. said
he was OF the opinion that there will be no
discount on the price of domestic anthracite
this year. Coal dealers, however, were al
sea as to how TO advise their customers.
THE strike In England and the prospect
OF an anthracite or bituminous coal strike,
or both, here. said Joseph w. Vought'
deputy commissioner of the Coal Mer-
chants Association, has started feeling
among consumers that in any case coal Is
about to be scarce With the experiences
of the strike Of 1902, when coal went up to
$40 a ton, In their minds, they think 1t best
to get a supply OF coal as soon as possible
Soft coal continued to advance in price
on account Of the threatened sort Goa
strike and the scarcity of small steam sizes
of anthrac cite 1t was stated that some o.
the concerns which use large quantities OF
anthracite will try 10 hold the companie:

NELLIE BLY, IN CONTEMPT
Mrs. Seaman Is Put on Good
Behavior for Two Weeks.
MUST ANSWER QUESTIONS
Head of Bankrupt Ironclad Com.
pany Not in Court, and
Said To Be III.

Mrs Elizabeth c. Seaman. formerly
Nellie BLY," was adjudsed guilty OF con-
,empt of court by Judge Hough yesterday
i'm the United States Circuit Court. The
case was adjourned until March Is In order
TO give her time 10 show why she should
not be punished In the mean time she Ia
commanded to appear before the referee
in bankruptcy and testify. with the assur-
ance that the infliction OF punishment. to-
gether with the degree. depends on her
bearing in the next two weeks.
There were four motions before Judge
Hough. in two OF which Adolph Kiendl, the
trustee IN bankruptcy OF the Ironclad Com
pany. sought to have Mrs. Seaman ad-
Judged in contempt. II was alleged that
she refused to answer some questions.
evaded what she did answer and questioned
the referees authority.
During the proceeding Judge Hougn
asked where Mrs. Seaman was. and on
hearing that she was not present said he
would adjourn the hearing. He vas told.
however, that Mr.. Allen, Mrs. Seaman's
lawyer, had an emergency affidavit given
him by Mrs. Seaman in case any proceed
ings were instituted against her In her abb
sence.
Counsel for the referee said that his
process servers had been trying to find Mrs.
Seaman on both sides of the river, but had
been unable to do so. Mr.. Allen said no
was aware of the attempts made to hnd
his client, but said she was too Ill to ap'
pear. He was directed to file the emergency
affidavit and appear for his client.
Judge Hough intimated that Mrs. Sea-
mans conduct might be the result OF
Ignorance unenfightened by advice" and
It was on those grounds that he held out
the promise of clemency. conditional on
her good behavior as witness during the
next two weeks
The other motion which was offered ia
show Mrs. Seaman's contempt OF court was
her failure to obey an order Of February
| 26 issued by Judge Chatfeld. In this she
was ordered, as the head Of the American
| Steel Barrel Company, to turn over certain
property claimed by the bankrupt Ironclad
company, including furniture said to be II
/ storage.
Bankruptcy proceedings were begur
| against Mrs. Seaman last August as
result, it is asserted by Mrs- Seaman, o.
huge forgeries. Her former cashier anc
the assistant cashier are now in Jail await
| ing trial as a result OF Mrs. Seaman
charges 1t was on account Of Mrs. Sea
mans statements that she could not ge
| fair play in Brooklyn that Judge Housf
was asked to sit in Brooklyn. leaving hii
| court in Manhattan
Before the hearing adjourned yesterda,
Judge Hough signed an order directing
District Attorney Cropsey to permit Mr.
Kiendl to see the checks which are held by
| him as evidence OF the alleged forgeries.

MOVE TO END STRIKE
British Government Invites Both
Sides to Joint Conference.
MINERS REMAIN 0BDURATE
Will Not Accept Cabinets Pro-
posal Unless Minimum Wage
Is Barred from Discussion.

London, March s.-After extended talks
with committees representing the coal mine
owners and their striking employees to-day
Premier Asquith extended an invitation 10
the representatives OF both sides to the dis
pute TO meet In joint conference. with a
view 10 a free discussion of the whole Sit
uation."
The official report explains that the gov
ernment considers the proposals placed by
II before both parties offer the fairest
means for arriving at a satisfactory settle
ment Of the dispute. but in view OF the
difficulty OF making any progress in that
direction without a mutual discussion OF
the situation the invitation for a Joint con-
ference was issued.
What the governments proposals are has
not been dvulged. The miners replied to
the invitation that they had undertaken to
reassemble the national conference CT
miners at the earliest possible moment. Eut
with the reservation that they would rot
recommend acceptance OF the government
invitation except on the understanding that
the principle of minimum wage should be
excluded from the discussion at the confer
ence. AS II is on this point that the whole
| dispute hinges. II is difficult TO see how any
| progress toward a settlement OF the strike
| can be made by joint conference at which
discussion of the question is barred.
The national conference OF miners cannot

meanwhile the strike must continue anC
