COAL AT S1.35 A TON.
Bought Bunker Fuel at Mines for That
and Sold It for IS and $40 a Ton.

New York, June 22.-Renewed efforts
to keep bunker coal transactions out OF
the trial in federal court here of a num-
Der OF Virginia and West Virginia coal
corporations and individuals for alleged
conspiracy TO restrain trade and fix coal
prices, met with another setback on
Wednesday.
Much correspondence relating to bunk
er coal was offered in evidence and when
W. III. Adams of the Grocer Pocahontas
Coal company was asked to identify it,
James A. O'Gorman, former United
States senator, attorney for some of the
defendants, protested vigorously. Judge
Grubb declined TO interfere, as the gov
eminent maintains that a committee of
the men or corporations on trial handled
the bunker coal business.
Adams testified his company acted for
a half dozen companies dealing in Poca-
hontas coal and they were paid monthly
by the Grocer Pocahontss company. This
was essential, he testified, because if the
output of one mine was depended upon
TO fill lO.O00-tOn order for a steamship,
the vessel would face heavy demurrage
charges and the companies, therefore,
would jointly supply the coal. The sales
agency, Adams said. simply handled the
output to simplify matters. The total
output Of these companies in 1916,
Adams testified was l,750000 tons.
Borden Covel. president of the North
srn Coal company Of Boston, testified that
in 1915 he bought 10000 tons Of coal at
mines for 81 IS a ton and sold it for S. a
ton. Up to April, 1917. the coal cost
him the same. he said. and in some in
stances he sold it TO the British admir-
slty for $50 ton

Long Talk with Police
Comm'r Woods

Rome, June 22.--Alfredo Cocchi, want
ed by the New York authorities for tria
on the charge of numbering Ruth Cru
ger l7-year-old school girl, was arrested
at Bologna by Italian authorities yester.
day afternoon. Cocchi has been under
observation for several weeks.
The Italian authorities moved prompt.
ly on receipt of advices through Amer.
lean Ambassador Page requesting that
he be detained.
Mayor Orders Investigation.
New York, June 22.-A[ayor Mitchell
instructed Commissioner of Accounts
Leonard NJ Wallstein yesterday to take
up the investigation of the work of the
police in the Ruth Cruger case for the
purpose of fixing responsibility for the
police failure to find the murdered girls
body and recommending any desirable
improvement in police department meth
DDS.
AS result of new evidence received
yesterday in the case, Dist. Atty. Swami
yesterday sent a general alarm through
the country for the apprehension of Ed
ward Fish, private detective and init
mate friend of Cocchi, on suspicion that
Fish had direct knowledge of the burial
of Ruth Cruger in Cocchi's cellar.
Fish's last New York address was at
2l0 West S5th street. He was EN-
ployed by Al Cohen, former police de-
tective sergeant. He was last seen in
Bloomington, ILL.,, on June 10. He is
said to have been seen at work in Coo
chi's cellar the day after Ruth Cruger
disappeared. A small boy has admitted
being in the cellar at the same time.
The boy is now in the custody of the
police.
Mrs. Cocchi was examined again yes
terday by the district attorney and told
more of her husbands relations with
other women. As a result Judge Swami
wants to know why the motorcycle po-
licemen who know Cocchi did not include
something of the personal character of
the italian in their report on the crime.
The mayor ordered the Wallstein in
vestigation after long conference with
Commissioner Woods yesterday morning
The police commissioner himself suggest
ed such an investigation to supplement
the one he himself has started under In
spector Faurot.

that no statement rejecting on the char

"Magic" Cloths.

Many housewives gladly pay 35 cents
for so.ealled magic" cloths, as they are
very useful for silver and other metals.
Being dry, they do not soil the hands
or clothing and do their work until the
cloth itself wears out. To make such
a cloth take one quart of gasoline, one
half pound of whiting and oneeighth
ounce of oleic acid, mixing all together
and shaking well. Soak pieces of wooden
cloth in the mixture and hang them in
the open air in shady place to dry.
When the cloths are dry the magic"
qualities have been given to them, and
these these they will never lose. The
material must be wool.-New York

then add another layer of the bananas
and another layer of breadcrumbs and
nuts. Sprinkle the top with powdered
