LOTS OF HARD COAL,
But CARS ARE CCARCE
Apparent Shortage in Fuel Due
to Congestion. Say Operators.

Reports that shortage o. anthracite
coal exists and that wholesale prices
have been advanced recently we're de-
MED yesterday in statement issued by
anthracite coal operators. The state
ment explains that any difficulty con-
suuers mey have experienced in Sc
curing coal in the last two weeks has
been caused entirely by the unPrece-
dented freight congestion on all trunk
lines in the East.
As q matter Of fact reads the
statement, in part. there is plenty Of
anthracite above ground 20 meet all
demands and the only difficulty IS that
Of distribution"
After calling attention TO the fact
that there has been no change since
1912 in the wholesale price OF na ai
coal. the statement declares that me
operators are fully prepared to hght
the consumers baltle by keeping prices
at their present level Only an al
vance in wages. II IS stated, can OPP
crate 10 force an increased charge for
coal. Advanced cost OF labor and other
increased mining costs raised the price
in 1912. This had been practically the
only increase since 1902.

MRS. KETCHUM WINS
In SEPARATION SUIT
Court Discredits Much Of huS'
bands Story of Being Lured
Into Marriage.

Justice Blanchard decided yesterday
in favor of Mrs. Ada Brown Ketchum In
her separation suit against Everett
Ketchum, lawyer.
Justice Blanchard had 70 consider a
vast amount Of testimony. He be-
lieved tina; given by Mrs. Ketchum, but
discreditod much giyer by Ketchum,
saying che defendants yeracity seems
20 be on the same plane as bis morals
The justice also saio that Ketchum
lived the life of a roue.
Justice Blanchard made no award OF
alimony i'm his decision, which md
Gates that the couple might have set
tied this phase out o. court, although
IL was one of the principal points on
which the Ketchums could not agree
when they decided 10 live apart. IL
is possible an Glimony order may be
handed down to-day.
I'VE take into consideration.' SAID
Justice Blanchard in determining the
credibility Of the parties, which OF
them has told the truth. their manner
Of living, their conduct on the stand,
their associations aud their attitude
toward social and moral questions. 50
far as the record disclos es, the plaIntif
is shown to have been pure glrl at
the time Of her marriage. She re
ceived and accepted the attentions Of
men to a most moderate degree, and
not a breath of scandal or hayward
life attaches 20 her. On the witness
stand she showed she was a young
woman of culture and refinement.
The defendant, in giving his testi-
mony. created a less favorable impres-
sion. Well educated, a member Of the
bar. and of excellent family, his con
duct has not been commendable. His
testimony and his manner Of giving it
make his deuials unsatisfactory. In the
light Of the testimony Of the character
Of the parties to this action, the court
is unable TO believe tFat the plaintiff
was the aggressor and the defendant
the unwilling vicLm. The contention
o. the defendant that he was inveigled
INTO the marriage is absurd

SETBACK FOR HAMMERSTEIN
Judge Sees Adroit Methods in Re-
ownership.

Oscar Hammerstein is credited with
adroit business methods in obtaining the
protection Of receivership for nine
months without mourning any Of the
inconvenience that usually accompany
such proceedings, in an opinion handed
down yesterday afternoon by Judge
Learned Hand. Under this decision the
receivership will come 20 an end as
soon as his bills can be passed upon by
the court.
A friendly suit instituted by the
American Seating Company brought
about the appointment Of receiver
and the granting Of a court order pre-
venting other creditors from levying
on the Hammerstein assets or even
suing under their claims until the
equity OF this case could be passed
upon. The purpose Of the American
Seating Company's proceeding was ad-
mittedly TO conserve the assets OF the
impresario. Judge Hand, announced
in yacating the original order, that the
other creditors might now hold meet
ing and decide what action they
thought desirable TO take.
