COAL PANIC IN N. Y.
AND NOT A FAMINE
Experts Advise Consumers to Econ
omize on Fuel Until January I.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.--There is no
coal famine. but there is a coal panic.
That was the way in which experts
sized up the coal situation with the
price still pushing upward and no re-
lief in sight for at least another six
weeks.
Coal sold on the Jersey waterfront
as nigh as Sl2 ton yesterday, with
higher.
Consumers are advised to get along
with as little coal as possible until
the situation changes. which will
probably be about the first OF Jam
Tho present high rate is caused. The
experts say. primarily because of a
rush OF the consumers to buy their
WI supply. g rush which golled
theS could not get an the coal they
wanted on the day they wanted IL.
By way OF showing that there is no
Teai scarcity or coal. the Coal Trade
journal has compiled the following
haures, showing an increase in ship
ments from the mines OF rs per cent
Ior the, hrst nine months of 1915 over
the same period for 1915.
In 1915. during the first nine months.
tI,3I9,lll tons were shipped, and for
me nine months ended September 30,
lSi6' 4s,sSO,4i6 tons were shipped.

dealers who have put their prices I'm 10

Just how long the present situation
Will continue depends largely on the
public and on the weather. II the
weather continues warm well into De-
according to the coal dealers, III the
public will not insist on buying coal
for the entire winter at once, the I'M.
ward price tendency will be held, in

SAYS BIRTH CONTROL
TALK WRECKED HOME

NEW YORK, Nov. THAT the Rev.
Edward W. Lake. a retired clergyman,
or Binghamton, y. V, and his wife
preached the doctrine of birth control so
that they would find II easier to disrupt
the marriage of their son. was the story
told yesterday to Justice Colahan by
Mrs. Eleanor w. Lake. who Is suing
Ralph i. Lake for a separation.
Mrs. Lake alleged. in asking for so
a week alimony. that she had been mar
ried only a week to Ipke. who is a
member OF the Alpha Delta Phi CLUB.
when her mother-in-law laid down the
law regarding the birth OF children.
This was done. said Mrs. Lake. be
cause they knew that II would be much
harder to break up the marriage IL there
were children to be provided for"
Mrs. Lake quoted on information and
belief several reasons given by her
mother-in-law for the edict issued by
her. One was the defendants inability
to hold a position for any length II
time. and another than the plaintiff IS
Irish and a Catholic.
She said that her husband always as
sociates with men Weather than he
is. and at his club, where he stays when
In New York. he Ia much In the COM
pany OF Wall Street men, and that he
spends a great deal more money Cor
drink and for riotous living than his
income warrants"
