Chester. Pa. July 27.-With armed
guards patrolling a large area of the
city. quiet was restored here early
to-day after another outbreak of race
rioting which exacted a toll of two
lives and caused injury to scores of
persons, both white and colored. The

quiet day following the disorders of
Wednesday. but with the assistance
of national guardsmen. state police
and five hundred special deputies

prevent further outbreaks in the
other districts of the city. All sa-
looms and amusement places were
ordered closed by Mayor Mcdowell.
Extra police guarded City Hall,
where seventy-four rioters were
locked up for hearings, many OF

had fingers shot off. others were
stabbed and many had limbs broken.
Several of them, it is said, cannot
recover.
Under Control

outbreak of the disturbance, was
spirited away by the police to the
Media Jail. The other victim was
c negro. Mayor Mcdowell announced
early to-day that the situation was
under control and no further out
breaks were feared.
While the riots were the direct re-
suit of the killing by negroes OF
William Mckinney. a young white
man, officials declare the importa-
ton of a large number of negro
laborers from the South had pre-
viously caused much i'll feeling. For
more than a week. the officials say,

FRANCE SUFFERS A CAR SHORTAGE
 TO MOvE TROOPS
Orders Placed in the U. s. for 35,OOO Cars and
 Trucks to Replace
 Those Destroyed.

PARIS, Jan. 9. - A question Of paramount importance, which has aroused much acrimonious comment, is that Of transports. It is known hat large proportion of French roll ing stock fell into the hands of the enemy on the opening of the war. To replace the deficit an order for }5.OOO cars and trucks was placed in America. Of these. as it now ,ranspircs, only 25OO have been de- llvcred. and nOt unnaturaly it is felt that in view of the impossibil- ity Of obtaining more from America other means of transportation, cspcc- ially for coal, could have been de- viSed.
 Tho "Gaulois," points out that when the German attack on Verdun began it was at once realized that transports, owing to insufficient railroads, must to a large extent be improyiscd. Consequently a mo- GOT truck service of 15OO trucks was organized, which has quite supple. mented the railway shortage.

PRICE OF COAL
 IS LIKELY TO
 TAKE A RAISE
Supply Is Limited on AC- count of Troubles of Labor and an Extra
 Demand

Local dealers in coal are looking
 for a material advance in the price within the next month, probably be- fore February 1st, and the Juneau householder and coal user is advised
 to shop carly" if they desire to avoid the raise.
 The supply of coal is limited, the shipments from British Columbia be.
 ing mere driblets as the mines are entirely unable to supply the demand. One dealer stated yesterday that of a total of over 1000 tons of coal which had been ordered by him, he had received less than 300 tons.
 The war, labor troubles in some of the British Columbia fields, and the high price of fuel oil Is given as the reason for the advance if one is made At the present time the Aus. tralian supply, which formerly SUD- piled a large part Of the California trade. is practically cut off on ac- count of the demand from Europe and the high charter rate for ocean tonnage This leaves the demand to be supplied by Washington, Montana, and British Columbia.
 Labor troubles in several of the British Columbia fields has cut off the supply from there. leaving the Vancouver Island fields, and the Washington fields practically the on. tire source of supply for the entire coast.
 The demand from the war zone of Europe for gasoline and distilate has increased the production of those in the United States, thereby reducing the supply of crude oil and also causing the price Of fuel oil to almost double in price, which has forced many former oil burning to fall back on coal, thus increasing the demand and the sup ply already short
 All mines on Vancouver Island and in the Washington fields are work ing double shifts and are forcing their production to the maximum being able to supply the de- i mand and unless some material change in the situation comes with 1 in the next few weeks, it is extreme ly probable that the price will go up.
 One Juneau dealer has placed or ders for 1000 tons % be delivered l IS rapidly as possible. in an effort | 70 take advantage of the present ! price, but he stated yesterday that f he gets half of it he will cOnsid. 1 er himself extremely fortunate.

POLITICAL FIGHT LIKELY
AFTER CHESTER RIOTS
Factions May Split Following
Appointment of New Po-
lice Magistrate
By a StuT Correspondent
CHESTER. Pa August

CHESTER, "a, August 1.
The whole political future of Delaware
County will be affected as the result of
the recent race riots here
According to those who are on the inside
there is a possibility of a political fight be-
tween the Mcclure and Sproul interests
heretofore friendly. Magistrate William j.
Leary, said to be a Mcclure man. has been
removed from the office of police magis-
trate and Alderman Thomas J. Holt has
ley s. Mcdowell.
The new committing Magistrate held his
first hearings this morning. His first act
was to hold Morris Lawrence, negro, and
said to be Mcclure worker, under $4,000
bail for court on a charge of carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons and threatening to
shoot up the town last night
Lawrence was recently released from the
Eastern Penitentiary, where he served five
years for the killing of Peter Lock, a
citizen here. If, ..-.. sf,,ryy sl,a,.,p
The Mcclure interests made an effort to
have Magistrate Leary retained as commit
ting Magistrate, but Mayor Mcdowell re-
fused to reconsider his decision that the
Magistrate must go, to satisfy the public
clamor for his removal. The Mayor is
known to lean toward the Sproul interests,
and should a break come would no doubt
throw his political fortune that way.
The Mayor said that he was not in
fiuenced by politics in appointing Alderman
Holt as committing Magistrate. He added
that the new Magistrate is lifelong friend
and for this reason he was appointed.
Three men are in the running for the
nomination for Judge of the Common
Pleas Court, Delaware County. They are
w. b. Broomall, the incumbent; Albert
Dutton McDade, former District Attorney
for six years, and John l.. Rankin. The
primaries will be held in September. should
there come a political split between the
McClures and the Sprouts it is said that
the former would support Judge Broomall
and the latter McDade. This would serve
to make McDade a very strong candidate
The town was quiet last night. The
only excitement was when Lawrence, the
