VIII Picket Again.

Delving into court statistics, the
pickets discovered that il was the
sixty-ffth appeal granted In a Police
Court case in twenty-five years durins
which time more than 5000 appeals
have been considered.
The decision does not mean that
the pickets will cease their demonstra-
tions before the White House. They
intend to stand another half dozen
of the silent sentinels before the Ex-
ecutive Mansion. probably on Thurs
day.
No word was received from the
pickets serving 30-day sentences

Miss Lavinia Dock, of Fayetteville,
Pa, vii visit her today and bring her
a basket OF delicacies.

near Wytschaete and their flyers
made an effective raid on German
works and aerodromes in Belgium.

Trebizond.
Gen. Poyessky, commander OF a
Russian division. was killed while

GOAL Chairman
CLEARS DOUBT
Peabody Makes Three
Price-Fixing Rulings,
Relieving Concern.

e Three points in the coal price-fixing
situation which have caused more or
less concern to operators were cleared
up yesterday by Chairman Peabody Of
the coal committee OF the Council of
National Defense. These points are:
= ID The price fixed by President Will
son for bituminous coal became eff
fective Immediately upon issuance of
his proclamation.
(2) Bunker and export coal will come
within the meaning OF the Presiden-
tisl order
C0 Contracts made prior to the gov
ernment's ruling will be allowed to
stand when proved to have been made
In good faith.
In addition to these points, the pre-
sepce Of Roger Sullivan, political boss
OF Illinois at q conference with Mr..
Peabody gave color to reports that
the Peabody coal committee had been
seriously embarrassed by the action
Of the President and the Federal
Trade Commission and that another
fight had been started in the Presi-
dents semi-oficiaI family which
threatens to cause some changes in
the personnel OF various government
organizations
Answers Direct Question.
Answering a direct question as to
whether he would resign, or whether
the coal committee would automati-
cally go out Of existence. Mr.. Pea
body said:
That rests entirely with DR.. Gar
field. We are ready and willing to
: do anything that he may ask u.s.
In commenting upon the reports of
friction and a disposition on the part
of the coal operators to make a fight
on the Presidents order. Mr.. Pea
body said:
The attitude Of the coal opera tors
with whom / have talked indicates a
spirit OF patriotism that l believe
will bridge all questions OF inconveni-
.enee caused by the Presidents order.
Every man that I have talked with
today has shown a desire TO cooperate
with the government AS for the at
,titude OF the coal committee. II is
purely one OF patriotism. and every
: man is willing to back up the President
TO the limit in any step that he may
take for the good of the country"

THANK

Thanksgiving time is drawing near.
The days are crisp and the oak leaves
scar;
The chestnut burrs are opened and
brown.
And the pumpkins are big and yellow
and round.
The sun sinks golden and pink in the
west,
The sparrows and swallows have gone
to their rest:
The shades are drawn and the hearth
fire laid,
And soon We'll watch the embers fade.
The cows and pigs In pen and shed
Are calling noisily to he fed;
Turkeys complain in a mournful key.
For they know that they are not long
TO be.
At last Thanksgiving Day has come.
The ples are baked and the turkeys
done;
The cranberry jelly is firm and clear.
And my stomach's going to ache fear.
