COAL Bins EMPTY;
WINTER PRICES prevail

The winter schedule of coal prices
became effective today. Most coal bins
are empty While last winter was
mild for short periods. the chilly
weather dragged out long enough to
make the consumption for most fam
lilies well up to the average.
There are thousands of persons
with the firmest determination to or
der their coal in May and get the low
est prices who put it off until June
and then get to thinking so much
about vacation plans that the question
passes over into July, when keeping
cool is such a big job that coal seems
an abstraction, if not a distraction.
Many persons who have passed the
matter up until August find time go
ing too fast then to take it up seri-
cusly with the coal man. There are
others who wait until they shiver
before talking business with the coal
man. They pay often as much as Sc
cents a ton more than the prudent
ones who order in May.

COMPROMISE likely
\ ON Defence plans
Mr.. Wilson Is Expected to
Take Middle Course In
Agitation
IN NO HURRY TO
ACT AT THIS TIME

WASHINGTON, Sept. l.-Opinion is
rapidly developing here that the nation
al defence issue is becoming more and
more a political question.
Senator kern's visit to the White
House and the interview he gave out IN
sympathy with the recent utterances Of
Representative Kitchin, the next major
ity leader of the House, emphasized the
problems which the President faces from
a large wing of his own party in Con-
gress.
The best information available as To
the Presidents policy is that he intends
to take middle ground. Just how many
battleships and submarines and how
large an army increase he will recon-
mend are open questions, and 1t is indi
Gated that the President intends to take
plenty of time in making up his mind.
1t appears that the Presidents feeling
of a need for haste, which characterize
his summons to the War and Navy de
partments to complete their reports II
the latter part of July, has given place
to the belief that the national defence
problem is a domestic problem and thai
he can well afford to study all the ele
ments in the situation before formulat
ing his own ideas. 1t was said yester
day that the President has made no en-
gagement vet to confer with the mill
tarv and naval committee chairmen o
Congress and that he is not ready t.
see them yet.

BULGARIAN MINISTER
CONFERS WITH GREY

LONDON, Sept. IA despatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
Athens renews the report first circu-
lated some weeks ago, and denied at the
time by the Turks, that a British or
French submarine had blown up the
bridge across the Golden Horn, from
Constantinople to Garata.
A wireless dispatch intercepted
from Berlin quotes the Franfurter
zeitung as estimating the loss of the
allies at the Dardanelles since Au-
gust 6, the day of the new landing, at
$4,000. The same estimate says that
100000 fresh troops, British and
French, were thrown shore at the
time. Upward Of 600 officers were
killed. and one cavalry division, it is
said, almost completely wiped out.
The dispatch continues: British
prisoners knew nothing of the fall OF
Warsaw and other Russian fortresses.
They had been told that the Russians
held the entrance to the BosphOrus
and were working toward a junction
with them. Many British soldiers
now voluntarily surrender them
selves"
An official statement from Constan-
tinople today says that nothing oc-
Cured at either front on the CALI

Little new light was added to the
Balkan situation today, although il
is understood that the Bulgarian
Minister today held a long confer
ence with Sir Edward Grey. A de-
spatch from Berlin quotes the Vos-

TEST FOR LOST Girl

NEW YORK, Sept. l.-"wen. you
Mrs. W. A. Ganong, wife of Judge
Ganong, of Lake Mahopac, hesitated.
1T was very simple. after all, be-
cause'---
Again Mrs. Ganong paused, and well
she might. She was discussing, or was
about to discuss. the sex problem. which
all day long yesterday had held Lake
Mahopac in the throes of seething argu-
ments and in which were mingled the
thrills of a mystery.
So heated grew the dispute that a
referee was out of the question. Il was
decided to summon Mrs. Adelaide Ste
vens. of No. SOP Hancock street Brook
lyn. as an expert And forthwith a
telegram was sent TO her; then second
telegram. and a watch was kept at the
railroad station that she might be es-
corted at once to the scene of the trou-
bic.
While the village eagerly awaited
the arrival of Mrs. Stevens, Constable
Schinelli consulted the postmaster.
who said he was certain that his opin-
ion was the correct one. But not so

deductions of the postmaster The
constable was not sure. And the re-
suit was. as Mrs. Ganong was say
ing:
well. Judge Ganong didn't agree
with some of the others. The pair of
youngsters were dressed like boys
and had boy-like manners They
seemed to answer the general de-
scription of Viola Stevens and Max
Goodman. who left New York to-
gether.
ct was decided that Mrs. Stevens.
who lives in Brooklyn. should be
notified or course each boy denied
he was a girl Then judge Ganong
hit upon a scheme TO solve the mys-
terry. He solved il, too"
by what method?" inquired the
reporter
Well" replied Mrs. Ganong. 'tho
Judge understands boys, and so he
said TO the pair Of them:
Boys. let's go bathing
Mrs. Ganong smiled, then con-
tinued:
when they came back it was de-
cided TO ask the two boys 10 wait I'M
til Mrs. Stevens came. just in order
that she could see for herself that
neither of them was her daughter
When Mrs. Stevens arrived she
/ glanced at the boys and said that
there was no reason TO detain them
The boys. who said they were from
Bridgeport. Conn. refused to tell theiI
names. They said they we're on an
outing for a good time, and that Lake
Mahopac had helped to enliven an
otherwise gray day. but the water
was cold for August.
