PORTER TOOK GOLD
Negro Boy Working at Fifth Avenue
Hotel Admits Theft.

The mystery of missing money and
other miscellany at the Fifth Avenue
hotel has been solved. Fred Stewart,
a 15-year-old negro boy who has been
working there as a porter, confessed
to James McGovern, plain clothes man,
that he is responsible and he has been
turned over to F. w. Dawdy, county
probation officer.
The most recent thefts consisted OF
two two and one-half dollar GOLD
pieces, particularly valuable for their
antiquity, and a f1ashlight. McGovern
worked on the case for some time and
decided that Stewart was responsible.
Stewart was arrested and under close
questioning at the police station, adj

TO HOLD UP ORDERS
Topeka Unions Will Buy No More
Coal at Present Time.

No further orders for coal will be
sent to the coal mines of Kanras by
the cooperative coal buying associa-
ton of the Topeka Industrial Courcil
according to w. H. Kerle, who is man
aging the proposition for the unior
men. No orders will be sent from To-
peka until a definite price at the mines
has been established by the president
and approved by the mine operators.
The cooperative buying association
has at present orders for more thar
900 tons of coal, to be distributed in
Topeka among the union men. The
price at which the union quotes the
fuel is 1925 per ton, while in view
of the proposed reduction of the price
at the mines the price must be re-
duced still further. Only loo tons of
coal have been received in Topeka b.
the association. AS soon as the rest
of the orders are filled, no more ship
ments will be made to the union.

SUES LATE HUSBAND
Nellie Hall Asks 81. 900 for Support OF
F1ye-Year-Old Son.

Nellie Hall, who says she was d.
vorced from Lester w. Hall at st.
Joseph in 1915, brought suit in the
district court of Shawnee county to-
day for $1,000 for the support and
maintenance of 5-year-old son.
She states that they were married
in February, 1912, at Trinidad, Colo,
and that they lived together until
June 1912. when he deserted her
without cause. The boy was born the
same year and Mrs. Hall says the
father has never contributed anything
to the childs support. The child's ex-
pense has been 5000 a year, she says,
and she asks that the court grant her
$1,000. She now lives at Malcomb,
Iowa. Hall, attorneys stated today,
lives in Topeka and is employed in
the Santa Fe general offices.

Federal Anthracite Prices Mean
a Crash of $3.50 Here.
Dealers Will Be Able To Buy
for S12.4O a Ton.
M'CLEERY PREDICTS DECREASE
Retailers Refuse To Bid for the
School Board Order.
Order of $500 Tons Hasn't
Friend on Earth.

Prices fixed on anthracite coal at
the mines by the government means
an approximate reduction of s2.S5 in
the retail price in Topeka, according
to c. G McCleery of the McCleery-
Dudley Lumber company.
The price of white ash, chestnut or
baseburner size, which is the predom-
mating kind of anthracite burned in
Topeka, was set at $3.50 a ton at the
mines. The freight rate from the
mines to Chicago is 1913, and from
Chicago to Topeka it is $3.65. The
jobber is allowed profit of 20 and
80 cents a ton. This means a total
cost of $12.40 to Topeka retailers as
compared with S15.25 a ton which
they are now paying.
The difference in the two costs to
retailers is S2.S5. and Mr.. McCleery
forecasts that there will be a CORE
spending decrease in the cost to con-
sumers
About thirty cars, or 1900 tons of
base burner size anthracite coal. are
used in Topeka annually.
Can't Get Bids.
An order for $500 tons of coal is
awaiting a bid. Last week the school
board advertised for bids for their
winters supply of coal and not sin
gle bid has been offered for the or
der by the local dealers.
According to NJ. C. Holman, who is
in charge of the purchase. coal men
of the city state that they will not bid
for the order before the coal situation
is definitely settled by the gov
eminent; so the proposition is hang
ing in the air.
According to the advertisement, bids
for the coal will close September 1.
The board may have to take action
to extend the time on bids
