Plots Scandal to
Bring Lower Price
From Coal Dealer

NEW YORK, Nov. as.--Members
Of the Brooklyn Coal Exchange are
very much perturbed by the action
taken by an unknown man to secure
a reduction in the high cost of coal.
Some time ago every prominent coal
dealer in Brooklyn received a letter
stating that he was responsible for
the high cost of coal. and that unless
the price was Immediately lowered
letters Of = compromising nature
signed m ais mare would be sent to
some well known society woman in
the borough.
The letter continues by saying that
any woman will naturally resent the
insult to her character, and ifn-
mediately turn it over to her hus-
band, with the result that the coal
dealer in question will probably get
a beating at the hands Of the hus-
band The letters were signed: Zone
who will sting you unless YOU COM
ply
As the price of coal was not re-
duced, the threat was carried out, a
letter signed with the name OF well
known coal dealer was sent to a
Columbia Heights society woman. but
the situation was cleared up when
the coal dealer showed the enraged
husband the original letter received
by himself The letters have been
handed over to the postal and police
authorities, with the request that the
offender be traced.

GUS kinds have been made in half a
