KILLS WHOLESALE.

HANFORD, Cal. April "A shock ing tragedy occurred here today when E. T. Denny wealthy farmer of this section shot and killed Jus tice of Peace Meadows, City At torney Cosper and Machinery Agent Wiley. The city marshal shot and killed Denny. Denny is very rich rancher and had lawsuit Tn which all his victims were involved and in which he believed that he was being bounded unjustly.
 Denny is believed to have been deranged and the breeding to which he was addicted over the case finally inspired him to his mad act.
 The shooting will be the subject of a special investigation by the county authorities.
 Denny was killed by the first shot from the pistol of the city marshal shortly after his third victim fell.

solution on the preceding day.
 Stone and Vardaman also op- posed the resolution and will have the floor to nine o'clock when it is expected that favorable vote will be taken.
 Today the feature of the debate on the war declaration resolution was the bitter denunciation by Sen ator Norris, republican senator from Nebraska, of the war resolution and the war. He declared that "this was a war of dollars not of principles and we are ignominiously putting the dollar sign on the Amer ican flag"

TO COAL CONSUMERS

Owing to the unprecedented con- ditions prevailing in 1916 and at the present time in the coal and shipping world, it is justly due our coal customers that the following facts should be publicly known:
 In December 1915, we made a contract with the Alaska Steamship Company covering the freighting ot our 1916 coal tonnage. The charter rate prevailing last year on for eign bottoms from British Colum- bia to Nome anchorage on sacked coal was approximately $12,00 per ton, being higher than the regular American lines. Because conditions greatly changed after our contract was made, the Alaska Steamship carried the coal for Nome last year at a heavy loss.
 Storms, labor troubles and short ages at the mine caused the de- livery to be greatly delayed, but nevertheless, the Alaska Steamship Co. faithfully completed it's con- tract.
 Because the people voted last year for a municipal coal yard, the management of this Company was in doubt how large reserve supply ot coal we should ship. Taxes, inter- est and insurance on each ton of coal over winter increases the cost on an average $2.50 per ton. In case of severe competition by the city we prefer the city should carry the principal reserve supply and thus relieve us of part of the burden.
 Concerning 1917 Coal.
 We have just purchased our Cal cutta bags at an increased cost over 1915 of seven cents per bag or eighty-four cents per ton, making the total cost for bags alone $3.05 per ton. Our total purchase of bags this year amounting to $27,- OOO.OO. We are endeavoring to close contracts for the freight at forty per cent increase over last year. Probably by the time this is

NEW YORK, April 3.-It is real ized here that the chief difficulty that now confronts the nation IS .hs soaring prices. The price of food stuffs is unparalleled in the history of tho country and the situation is not likely to be relieved, but rathe: aggravated by the entry of the na- tion into war. The seizure of the German ships will enable shipments to proceed without interruption. in tensifying the national scarcity and making conditions very serious.

for minute doubted.
 The general intimation Of the British press is that peace terms which bring the termination of the war within reasonable vision of the nations are bound to get re- spectful hearing from all. This is regarded as quite substantial hint that genuine peace offers would not be rejected by any side.
 Paris comment is to the same effect and while Germany may still hold out reluctant to make concessions of a practical nature, the recent

LONDON, April 4.-Practically all the Londan papers comment upon the semi-ofticial newspaper, the Lokal Anzeiger, forecast of a worth while peace offer" and take it undoubtedly as serious. One or two organs declare that the time is ripe when Germany must realize that peace bluffs are no longer to be offered and the Central Powers realize they must make great con- sessions.
 That the German paper is inspired in it's declaration editorially is not

WASHINGTON, D. C., April f. AT TEN O'CLOCK THE SENATE PASSED THE FLOOD MARTIN RESOLUTION DECLARING A STATE OF WAR EXISTS WITH GERMANY. THE VOTING WAS S5 FOR TO 6 AGAINST.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., April A. Robert Lafollette appeared in the Senate this afternoon at tour o'clock for the first time today and shortly afterwards began speaking against the war resolution. He was not subjected to the unseemly interrup- tions which characterized the re- certion of his opposition to the re-

published at Nome, the United States will be at war with Germany. In that event, many of the freight steamers may be communicated by the Government. Possibly not half our contract amount of coal can De delivered to Nome in the summer of 1917, if the freighters are com- mandeered In addition to this, the cost of coal has increased at the mine and shortage of coal is now prevailing and will doubtless con- tinue indefinitely.
 It is not our intention to ma terially raise the price of coal dur ing the summer of 1917, but it is practically certain coal cannot be sold in Nome the winter of 1917- 1918 for less than $25.00 per ton. This increase in price is due to causes entirely beyond our control. Coal in bulk is now selling in Buenos Aires for $4000 per ton and ill Rome for $35.OO, both cities being as near the coal fields as Nome. San Francisco is now paying $500 per ton for bulk Ladysmith coal.
 Regardless of the fact that the people of Nome voted for munL, cipal coal yard, we will use our utmost efforts to secure our usual reserve supply for the winter, en- deavoring at the same time to regu- late the quantity to avoid repe- tition of the trouble with poor coal on hand during the winter of 1915 and 1916-caused directly by con- sumcrs insisting on taking the latest coal received; thus leaving the older coal to remain that much longer nd deteriorate.
 We will have an ample supply of fuel oil and the price will be proportionately much lower than coal.
