Coal Shortage Predicted

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov .. Coal men
here today abandoned all hope that the
present reserve Of coal would supply the
Northwest's demand for the coming winter
Ports here and at Superior furnish nearly
all the Northeasts coal. Their admission OF
their inability TO get sufficient coal while
navigation was open is fair evidence that
there will be a coal shortage this winter
when thermometers register around fifty
below zero.

Campaign For Resumption
of U-Boat Activity on Old
Basis Meets With no Success

Berlin, Oct. 5. via London, Oct. g.
Efforts to compose the differences be-
tween Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg and his opponents in the reichstag.
which have been in progress since ad-
iournment was taken after the chan
celor's speech, apparently have accom-
plished little. The chancelor's position,
however, appears to be unshaken and
such information as is obtainable indi-
Gates that the campaign for resump-
tion of submarine activity on the old
basis has met with no success.
After several days of confidential
of the chancellor and mem
bers of his cabinet with a committee
from the reichstag. discussion of the
submarine issue and other problems
of foreign politics was resumed to-day
before the ways and means committee.
Herr Won Jagow, secretary for foreign
affairs, and Admiral Won Capelle, sec
retary for the navy. made statements
explaining the position of the govern
ment. The naval secretary frequently
interposed in the debate which fol-
lowed. answering questions and meet
ing objections concerning the govern
ments policy in regard to submarine
operations.

The history of the typhoid out
break, from contaminated ice cream,

steps that have been taken through
cooperation of the State authorities

jects were discussed at length by DR..
Raunick. President Mccormick, Drs.
McAllister. Funk and Douglas, Mr..

that the epidemic was about at its

high watermark will not be reached

planned by DR.. Douglas is crowded to

IL Die When Concerted
Cunard Liner Is Sunk in
Mediterranean by U-Boat

London. Oct. 6.-The admiralty an
nounces that the Cunard steamer
Franconia. employed for transport
duty. was sunk in the Mediterranean
yesterday by an enemy submarine. The
steamer had no troops aboard. Twelve
men of the crew of 302 are missing.
The F'ranconia was a vessel of 1880
tons gross and was built in 1910. Her
maiden voyage was between Liverpool
and Boston in February, 1911.
The Franconia was 625 feet long. 70
feet wide and displaced $500 tons.
When she was built she was consid-
cred one of the most comfortable
Steamers of the Cunard Line. A strik-
ing feature of the saloon appoint
ments was the absence of staterooms
on the boat deck. which was devoted
to g. promenade room. a library, a
gymnasium and a lounge and smoking
room.
The vessel was nicknamed the Bath
Ship" inasmuch as she had more bath
rooms and showers than the Maure-
tania, this equipment being installed
for the benefit of passengers bound for
long cruises of the Mediterranean.

the fact that there are other sufferers
a-bed there now, was emphasized.
To House ConvaIescents
tacllltles for housing these con-
valescents, which will include provision
for beds. dieting, nursing and super
vision OF physician ror a week or
ten days after discharge from the hos
pital are the serious need confronting
the health authorities to-day.
The Visiting Nurse Association
which has been caring on it's own ac-
count for many cases. will continue
TO cooperate with the city and health
authorities according to Mrs. Gilbert.
although she suggested further CO.
operation by a proper supervision on
the city's part of the sanitary condi-
tions of many of the homes.
The failure of the Board of Poor
directors to provide milk and eggs for
convalescents. and coal to heat water,
was discussed. Secretary Yates re-
ported that help had been asked on
one occasion but was refused because
the poor authorities declared they
had no legal right to give aid except
to the head of the family which pro-
vided the revenue.
The Financial End
That other counties which have sent
patients to this city ror treatment
could relieve the situation in a
hhdhSiai way was also Drought to the
city commissioner attention. That
many patients incidentally are enjoy-
ing the free privileges or the hospitals
who could afford to pay for the treat
ment, was also pointed out.
Lack OF sufficient nurses and a woe
rui lack or cots for patients and con-
valescents are further imperative
needs with which the medical and
hospital authorities have had to cone.
Disapprove of Tents
Establishing of tents or similar light
temporary structures on the lawns of
the hospitals or in the city parks did
not meet with very general favor
either by the hospital orrlcers or the
physicians.
The sanitary hospital, the Board of
Trade and several buildings in the
capitol park extension were suggested
as possible convalescent places. al
though DR.. McAllister in discussine e
the sanitary hospital idea, called at
tention to the complications that
might arise IL a case of smallnox
should develop during the typhoid
outbreak.
Quick Action
Messrs. Lynch and Bowman finally
brought the conference to a satisfac-
tory end by suggesting that a com
mittee be appointed to select a site
and let the question of expense be
taken care of afterward."
