COAL famine HITS
Navy Yard WORK
Machinists Say Situation May Cause
Shortage of Men.

support OF the proposed in
creased salaries for government EN-
ployes and necessity for remedying
the coal situation here, as it effects
navy yard employees, were voiced in
resolutions adopted last night at a
meeting of the Columbia Ledge.
Number IA, of the International
Association OF Machinists at Naval
Lodge Hall, Fourth street and
Pennsylvania avenue southeast
A description of the new miscel-
laneous machine shop, which will
be constructed in the navy yard,
and its probable effect on the men
was given in an address by P. Cor
don Cooper, chief engineer Of the
yard.
The inability of the employees of
the yard to obtain coal. the resolu-
tion adopted declared. probably
would cause serious shortage in
men unless il was remedied. Many
men who had come to Washington
to take up work there have been
unable to obtain sufficient fuel and
consideration has been given by
many to going to other cities. A
committee will be appointed and in
CTR u take up the matter with
the authorities of the yard, the
coal commission and the Fuel Ad-
ministratiOn, and the aid of the
Navy Department will be asked in
solving the situation.
William Keeler. president. presid-
ed at the meeting and declared that
there now are more than $500 mem
bers of the association in Washing
ton. which is composed of governi
ment machinists employed here.

SAYS GERMANS
DISCUSSPEACE
ANDPLAN WAR
Servian Minister Urges U.S..
to Take Field Against
Kaiser S Allies.

Germany Is masking another sur
prise drive like that into Italy under
renewed peace hints and the mani
festations Of frietdliness for the al
lies by the Bulgarian Minister in
Washington. This waring was ut
tered yesterday by NJ. Loubemir Mi
chaelovitch. Serbian Minister to the
United States. NJ. Michaelovitch as
serts that the United States should
declare war on Turkey and Bulgaria
ne well as upon Austria.
On every front" he SAYS, "be II
in France. in Italy or in Macedonia,
the enemy is always one and the
same. From the first day OF the war
the enemy group has had this correct
conception. while each of the allies
guarded the right to independent ac-
tion and as result the enemy was
able to strike them blow upon blow.
Separate Peace Rumors.
THE agents of these countries are
ceaselessly putting into circulation ru-
more OF separate peace At the
time of Emperor Wilhelm's visit to
vienna and Sofia, when he began to
prepare the great offensive against
Italy. the allied press was discussing
the possibility of separate peace
with Bulgaria. The minister OF Bull
garia in Washington even gave ex-
preston to his sympathies for the
allies. At the very moment when
the Bulgarian minister was making
these declarations not only were the
Bulgarians fighting against Serbia. but
bulgarian officers were being sent to
Italy to share with their German OPP
pressors' in the victory over Italy.
THE minister OF Bulgaria has just
spoken again. declaring his sympathy
for the allies. and am convinced that
behind his declaration lies a fresh sur
prise from the Central ,powers on the
allied front"
NJ. Michaelovitch declares that II is
useless to think OF the Austrians.
Turks and Bulgarians as tools OF
Germany" and under the heel OF the
German boot" Germany's allies. he
says, will never mistrust German mil
itarism as long as II keeps them to-
gether and successful.

STATE IN TALK
Argument in the King Muir
der Trial Is Not Half
Completed.
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH,

Court House, Concord. N. c., Dec.
12.-Argument in the trial Of CASTOR
b. Means, charged with the murder
of Mrs. Maude A. King, is not half
finished tonight despite the fact that
the entire day has been devoted to
II.
The opening argument for the
State was made this niorning by
Solicitor Hayden Clement. In one hour
and five minutes the solicitor laid
before the jury the contentious OF
the State that the defendant, Means,
dissipated the fortune of Mrs. King.
and then murdered sher when it
seemed that an accounting must
come.
Judge Frank I. Osborne. chief
counsel for the defense, consumed
three hours and five minutes in OPEN
ing the argument for the defense.
His plea was an eloquent one,
couched in the soft tones of a
Southern gentlemen of the old
school. and indeed It was dramatic.
A venerable gentleman. whose voice
and strength are falling Judge Os-
borne taxed his strength to Ithe ut
most in his effort to upset all of the
contentious of the State.
Judge Osborne did not deal at
length upon the financial transac-
tions of the defendant. but went at
once to a criticism of the expert
witnesses of the State. He bitter
ly attacked the testimony as offered
by DR.. VIM. G. Burmeister, OF Chi
cago, and declared that it bore no
more weight than the testimony of
the six local physicians who testi-
fed for the defense.
In closing. Judge Osborne deliv-
cred dramatic appeal to the jury
to apply the Golden Rule and to
deal with his client as they would
have him deal with them. He trem-
bled and faltered as he pleaded that
they should consider the evidence
and find that there Is reasonable
doubt and acquit the defendant
Argument will be continued to-
morrow. The defense will present
arguments by six more attorneys
and Of the States counseIIors, four
more are yet to be heard from.
