Analysis of Coal.

coal. and Ia different from the Island
Creek product. which is mainly a steam
coal. Under a test made by the United
''oio & Gas company, It's president. DR..

national reputation IN by-product coke
making, stated In effect that the Pond
creek product WAS one of the best cox

thought Was Of equal quality. ~ not SUI

Weld in dry coal. OF which af,15 per cent

NEW YORK CITY
HAS To GAMBLE
breaches BELIEVES GAMES
CANNOT BE STOPPED ADViS-
ES LICENSE LAW.

New York, Sept 1.-THE Rev.
William Morrison, appointed by May
or Gaynor to the new board Of In
ebriety, has decided after an inves-
tigaton OF the gambling situation
in New York City that gambling can
no more be stopped in New York
than the sale of liquor" He sug-
gests that the solution of the evil
is in the licensing Of a certain mum
ber OF gambling houses
The Rev. Mr.. Morrison is a close
friend of the mayor and it is believ-
ed his views tally with those OF
Gaynor.
when we get ready to license
and regulate gambling Mr.. Norris
on says, 1--WE will have accomplish
ed something both from the moral
and governmental standpoint. The
state recognizes that it cannot pre-
vent the sale Of liquor, so 1t enacts
law 10 regulate it the best way pos
sible. Why not do the same thing
with gambling? When you do that
you will do away with all opporun-
ity for police graft"
