CAPE SCHOOLS Are
SHORT ON COAL
Edward Hely Gives Board Car
Load to Tide Schools
Over.

A coal shortage in the public schools
was arerted by the kindness of Ed
Hely, owner of the rock crusher on the
Rock Levee Road, when he "loaned'
the School Board a carload of coal in
the early part of the week.
Owing to the shortage of freight
cars, the School Board could not secure
any coal, and the supply in all the
schools was nearly consumed, when
Hely stepped in as the "angel" and
prevented the schools from closing.
The School Board ordered coal be-
fore Christmas, but no fuel could be
bought from the dealers because of the
shortage of freight cars. Several
dealers in the city were asked to de-
liver coal at the school houses, but
none had sufficient supply to meet
the request of the School Board.
When Mr.. Hely heard of the scar
city of coal in the public schools he
offered the School Board a carload.
He had Just received large shipment
of coal to cover his consumption for
several weeks.

Plug Tobacco Is
Going To Go Up
The Dealers Say
War Will Affect Prices of
Chewing as Well as Cigars
and Cisaret tie s. New
Boost Due Soon.

It is going to cost more to smoke
and chew in the future, according to
a report that reached Cape Girardeau
yesterday.
The tobacco prices have been boost
Cd by the manufacturers, and the re-
tailers are going to do likewise. Chew
ing tobacco, cigars and cigarettes are
going skyward. All fve-cent Sugars
have been increased from 81 to $3.50
per thousand and some of the higher
grades of cigars have been raised from
81 to So per thousand.
The price Of chewing tobacco has
been increased as much as 3 cents a
pound. Some varieties of smoking to-
bacco have been raised and others viii
be increased in the near future. The
retail prices for tobacco, however,
have not been increased, but local
dealers expect to do so in a few
weeks.
Pipes have also been increased. It is
said that the meerschaum pipes are so
scarce that one now is worth as much
as two were before the European var
began.

BRYAN MAKES DRY
TALK TO SOLONS
Tells of Church Deacons Who
Liked Their Mornin's
Mornin.

Jefferson City, Jan. 24.-Willian J.
Bryan, addressing the Statewide Con-
vention of Prohibition forces at the
Methodist Church here this afternoon,
declared he was in the thick Of a fight
for three reforms, the greatest he ever
advocated. He named them amid
cheers as extension of suffrage to
women, prohibition and world peace.
Bryan came here to open the State
wide campaign for prohibition.
81 got into this fight seven years
ago." said Bryan, swhen l found the
liquor element in my State trying to
make its State Senator secretary For
some time l chung to the theory that
the small unit was the most desirable
to vote a district dry, on the theory
that most men want to vote the saloon
on someone else. But l gave up that
theory when / was shown that many
men vote against prohibition in the
city or county because they have no
faith in the laws being enforced. So
today / am advocating national pro-
hibition."
He scored drinking among church.
going people, and told of a pastor,
who in inviting Bryan to address his
congregation, apologized because all
his elders drank intoxicants.
"My God, think of the tipsy elders
trying to convert the world" he said.
Declaring his previous campaigns
had been along the economic lines,
Bryan said the new fight was to be
along moral lines.

SOUTH Side HOME
BURNS TO GROUND
Ed. Huteh's Family Have Mar
row Escape Neighbors
Care For Them.

Ed Hutch and his family had a mar
row escape from death last midnight
when his home on the Sprigg street
road, in Smelterville, was destroyed
by fire, believed to have originated
in the kitchen. The occupants could
barely save their clothing before leav-
ing the burning building.
Another family, living on the Sec
ond floor, was also endangered by the
flames. They also had to leave the
house in such hurry that they could
hardly clothe themselves. They were
cared for by neighbors.
The Cape Girardeau fire engine was
called out, but could not get into ac-
ton owing to the lack of water. When
the engine reached the scene, the house
had almost burned to the ground.
The house was a two-story frame
structure. 1t was the property of
James Carater, who lives in Smelter-
vile.
When the fire was discovered it had
gained such Roadway that it was i'm
possible to save any of the household
effects. Hutch aroused the family up
stairs and all got out in safety.
An estimate of the damage could
not be given. 1t was said by neigh
bors last night that both families lost
everything. 1t could not be learned
whether the house and the contents
were insured, but it is said that Hutch
had suffered a total loss.
The reflection of the fire could he
seen plainly in the business district
of the city. Many believed the fire
was in Haarig. The call for the local
fire department was sent in from
Gross & Ruh'S saloon in Haarig. The
fire department made q record run 20
the scene, arriving a few minutes after
the call had been received.

BRITISH LEADER
WANTS MORE WAR
Continued from page one.)

ture wars"
The pacifsts are hailing President
Wilson's speech as an heroic utter
ance. The President himself has been
elevated by the pacific faction to a
pedestal of glory. This is shown by
the tumult of applause which greeted
the mention of the American execu-
tive's name at the labor meeting in
Manchester.
In this connection Professor ALERT
F. Pollard, the historian, said:
President Wilson uses the term
peace without victory and says that
is what the ibdlfgerenfs imply by
their statements when they speak of
the ultimate end of the war and as
suranees Of the future. That is not
my understanding of the attitude Of
either side, certainly not Of the Allies.
When We say we mean to crush Ger
many, Of course we do not mean the
German people, but we mean the Ger
man military machine that, after a
generation Of preparation, suddenly
Husg the whole of Europe into war.

CONSIDERS DEBATE
ON PEACE ADDRESS
cUMMlNs SAYS sPEEnh WAS
MOST IMPORTANT EVER
MADE BY PRESIDENT.
HOPES FOR AN EARLY VOTE
Senator Declares Il Is Due 10 Ceun-
try That Time Should Be Set
Aside to Fully Discuss
issues Involved.

Washington, Jan. 24.-openins de-
bate ON his resolution for weeks
discussion in the senate Of President
Wilson's peace address, Senator Cum
Minis said the Presidents suggestions
were the most important ever made
by chief executive Of the United
States, and, right or wrong, the SEN
ate owed It to the country to set aside
time tor full discussion OF the is
sues involved.
When Cummins called up his reso-
luton Senator Brandegee Of Connect
cut insisted upon a quorum, saying
this matter touches on the most I'M
portant question that has ever been
before the United States senate"
When a call brought the required
number for a quorum Senator Cum
Minis resumed.
Il have no disposition to speak at
length on this question" Senator
Cummins said. 81 hope sincerely that
We may be able to reach a vote on it
before the morning hour comes to a
close. 1t will be observed that the
resolution does not invite, nor even
properly permit, a discussion at this
time OF the soundness or unsourd-
ness Of the purposes announced in
the presidents address. l will do all
! can to hold the debate to the point
at issue What is il? 1t is this:
Ought the senate, on some day in the
near future, do the country the jus
tice of informing the people and ad-
vising the president Of our views con-
corning a policy OF the most vital i'm
pCrtance to which he has told us he
is about to commit his government?
For the proper discussion 1t mat
tiers not whether the president is
right or wrong. In either case his
communication is the most important
ever made by a chief executive Of the
United States. He so regards it. The
whole country SO looks upon it, and
foreign nations so accept it.
'He has come to the senate frankly
and boldly. and, assume. with all
sincerity, saying he owed it to us to
disclose 10 us the purpose IN his
mind Why did he owe It to us to
disclose without reserve the thought
and purposes in his mind?"
Senator Cummins said the presl
dent himself had answered that Ques-
ton when he referred to the senate
as Council associated with me" In
inform tiono1 affairs
"Are We to sit dumb under this ap-
peal?" asked the Iowa senator.
THE time to vote, 1t is true. has
not arrived, but is the council to re-
main silent while public opinion is
forming and public Judgment is be-
ing entered.
Il have no authority to speak for
the president. but l am bound to be-
lieve those who oppose this resolution
are not his true friends. 1t must be
he desires and expects the freest and
fullest debate on the tremendous is
sue he has raised What value are
we as council If we lock our lips and
allow him to go his way? 7 do not
know whether any senator here in
tends to vote in opposition to this
hope there is not. But
II there be anyone who does I ask
him 10 reflect a moment, for II seems
to me opposition means doubt re-
specting either the sincerity or cour-
age Of the president"
