Not to Reopen Inquest.

After swearing out tho warrant for
Means. Solicitor Clement announced that
the coroner's inquest would not be re-
opened Monday as planned. but that all
witnesses summoned for the inquest
would be required to appear to give evil
dence at the court hearing.
As preliminary move before having
the warrant issued for Means arrest,
Solicitor Clement made demand
through Coroner Carl L. Spears that
Means deliver to the authorities the
clothes, firearms, cartridges and other
effects of Mrs. King when she was kill
ed, and which are said to be in Means
possession. The accused man refused
to comply with the demand, and the So
licitor would not say what steps would
be taken to procure them.
During the conference between So
ltcftor Clement and Assistant District
Attorney Dooling of New York several
persons were called in and questioned.
They included Capt. w. s. Gingham,
who was a member of the party with
Mrs. King when she was killed. Later
he accompanied the solicitor and Mr..
Dooling to the scene of the killing and
rehearsed the evidence he had given at
the coroner's inquest. He also pointed
out the positions of the several men,
bers of the party when the shot was
fired.

RUPTURE IN BRAVES.
President Haughton and Manager
Stallings Not in Accord.

Information from authentic sources
strongly tends to confirm frequent
statements to the effect that all Is not
harmony In the Boston National League
club. It was an open secret last winter
that President Haughton and Manager
Stallings were not in accord. At the
time the Chicago club negotiated for
the release of Mitchell to manage the
Cubs 1t was stated that Stallings was
anxious to leave the Braves and join
the Cubs, but that he was prevented
by President Haughton. 1t was stated
breach between the two men. The fact
remains that Boston is foundering
around seventh place, with little pros
pect of lettering it's position. The team
road, and the financial difficulties have
increased the burdens of the manage
ment. While Evers still has the title
of captain and is supposed to direct
the players from orders received from
Manager Stallings. as matter of fact
it is seldom that the manager and cap
tain speak to each other. Evers is
fast slipping as player and gets in only
about half of the games. When not
playing he tries to inject some fight
into the men from the coaching lines
and invariably is benched for indis-
Greet remarks. The regularity of de-
of Stallings, who, however. has kept
within bounds so far as offending
against the league office or umpires
are concerned

COAL ENOUGH FOR ALL,
SECRETARY LANE SAYS

There is coal enough for everybody
in the country. according to a state
ment issued by Secretary Lane OF the
Interior Department. He based his
statisticians of his department. which
show that the mines are speeding up
their output, which had fallen some
what because of the inability to get
transportation.
However, he points out that coal con-
sumers must do their bit by assisting
in the conservation of tho supply. Tho
Secretary said that the difficulty of
distribution, now SO great, will be In
tensif1ed in the coming winter months.
Consumers must eliminate all waste
and practice sensible economy. must
unload every coal car as fast as 1t Is
received. and improve their plants SO
as to utilize to the fullest the heat
bins.
AS to the supply, Secretary Lane said
that the production Of coal in the
United States last year was the great
est in the history of the country. A
new record, however. was set for the
first six months of this year, fully 270,-
O00,000 tons of bituminous coal being
produced since January l. thus exceed
ing the output of the first six months
of last year by about 100000 tons.
Even better news is that the limit has
not yet been reached. for as the rail-
roads are able to work out to better
advantage the problem of car supply
and give to the mines greater facilities
for Transporting their product to mar
ket. the supply Of coal that reaches the
consumer will be in steadily increasing
quantities In the early months Of 1917,
because of the congestion Of the rail-
roads and the difficulties of Transports
ton, the production Of bituminous coal
fell behind the high mark set in Janu-
ary and February a year ago. AS a re-
suit of the patriotic and earnest en-
deavor Of the railroad officials and the
coal operators and representatives of
mine workers who have volunteered
their services to the federal govern
ment in this emergency, production has
been speeded up within the last few
months and the output Of soft COAL
which in May exceeded all previous rec
ords, was surpassed in June.
