OHIOANS STEAL
COALBOUNDFOR
Other DISTRICTS

The fuel administration has issued
the following:
Wholesale coal robbery in Ohio has
been unearthed by the United States
fuel administration. In some places
railroad tracks have been torn up,
through freight stopped, and loaded
coal cars Confiscated. In other places
cars OF coal have been taken from sid
ings The thefts have been directed
by mayors and city officials Of towns
which have been allowed only enough
coal for their immediate needs and
where the people had become FESTIVE
from seeing hundreds OF coal trains go
rattling through the state headed for
lake ports and the Northwest.
This municipal robbery has not only
disarranged shipping. but it has
caused unnecessary hardships in other
states and in other Ohio towns. An
example Of this was given by Homer
II. Johnson, fuel administrator for
Ohio.
Example Of confiscation
Four cars of coal were ordered to
one town which needed fuel badly.
The day it was scheduled to arrive
trucks and wagons waited vainl at
the station to unload the promised
coal, town just an hours run down
the line having stopped the train ard
confiscated all four cars for its own
use. Much confusion was the result,
as a supply for the second town was
already on the road.
Most of the coal stolen, however.
%as on its way to Minnesota. the pc
ninsula of Michigan. northern Wiscon-
sin, and the Dakotas. The fuel admin
istration is rushing thousands OF cars
of coal to these states by way Of the
Great Lakes in order to provision
them for the winter before ice shuts
down lake traffic. usually between the
LIST and 10th of December
1t is an exciting game which the
fuel administration is playing against
time, as the coal which is not gotten
into this territory by the lakR can
not be sent in any other way, because /
the shortage of coal cars is so great
that none can possibly be spared for
the long haul to the Northwest.
The fears of the offending Ohio !
towns, that they would be left entirely |
coal, were groundless, as the
fuel administration has ordered that
the immediate needs of Ohio and !
Michigan be supplied. |

HILO, Dec. 1O.-Hilo is to have an

of supervisors were approached
through a communication from Mr..
Curtis yesterday and were asked if
they would sign an agreement to al

in sufficient quantities to manufac
ture seven tons Of ice per day.
The application OF Mr.. Curtis was

The new plant is to be established
in Waiakea at a point where the ice
can be handled direct into the sam

THERE WAS SOMETHING

Never was the career of n woman
more romantic than that of Charlotte
Gcncvicvc Louisa Augusta Andrea
Timothca du Beaumont d'Eon. who
died May 90. 1910. at the age Of 81. The
most interesting part of her career was
that until five years before her death
she held high political office and was
prominent in affairs of state-and 1t
was thought that she was a man.
AS politician Charlotte DION had
few equals among the men Of her day
and with them she discussed political
affairs. helped settle the destiny Of
nations and none of those with whom
she came in contact knew that they
were disclosing secrets of state to a
woman.
In the year 1777 d'Eon was sent on
an embassy to England. She settled
matters of great Importance to France
and to England. all in the guise OF a
man. 1t was during this embassy
to England, however, that she was
discovered to be a woman. The whole

WHY BALL PLAYERS
ARE AS THEY ARE

For a baseball team to meet n fu.
neral on the way to tho game means
that they will win: il they meet a load
OF barrels they will lose.
1t is considered unlucky for n ball
player to meet red-haircd woman
or a clergyman on his way to the
game. Another sign of bad luck Is to
talk with IA girl who has a cast In her
eye. 1t Is said that to kiss her will
remove the hoodoo. To allow n
stranger to sit on the players bench
Is to invite bad luck. Some teams will
not allow all the players to sit down
together.
Another way to invite a hoOdoo Is to
allow strange hand to touch the bat.
