)No LINES OF PEOPLE ARE
BEGGING FOR COAL. '

When the ONCE OF Mr.. schley
opened for business this morning there
was a long line OF men and women
there waiting 20 sign the blue cards.
Each OF these cards represents an
urgent appeal for fuel from persons
who have none. Many OF the women
had children in their arms. Their
pinched faces showed their suffering
from the cold.
Estimates placed the number OF
families who are urgently in need OF
fuel at between 250,0o0 and 800, 1000.
Many OF them have not a pound OF
coal In their homes.
When Mr.. Garfield was asked about
the situation and tho question was
put up to him as TO what he is go
ing 20 do about sending aid 10 the
people here he said:
"I have nothing 10 do with New
York City's particular situation fur
ther than 70 get the coal moved. The
city's particular problem shall leave
to Mr.. wiggin."
Some OF the hospitals could get
fuel to-day, and that only in one
ton lots. Six hundred personal sp-
peals were made TO Administrator
Reeve Schley for families having
invalids and small children. Tho big
hotels also have n very scant supply.
The Fuel Administrator has set
aside forty tons In various parts OF
the city for the relief OF the very poor.
II will be distributed In 0Q-pound
lots under tho direction OF tho Asso-
citation for Improving the Condition
OF the Poor, az yesterday

City and Suburban Homes Company.

Prisoner COnfesses Killing
Preceded by Assault.
GIVES DETAILS OF HIS CRIME
Became Enraged When Miss
Cruger Rebufied His Persist.
ent Attentions.

Bologna, Italy, June 23.-Alfred
.Cocchi, the fugitive New York mo-
torcycle dealer, abandoned today his
pretense of his innocence of the muir
der of Ruth Cruger and confessed his
guilt. Jealousy was his motive. He
was unable. he declared, to win her
love and became furious when she
rebuffed his persistent attentions.
The admissions of the young Ital-
ian, whose escape the New York po-
lice failed to prevent wore made in
tears after searching interrogat;ons
by Judge Zucconi broke down Coo
chi's reserve. Prior to this eXamina-
ton COcchi had coolly and mistakenly
maintained he had known Miss Cruz
ger only two DAYS before her disap-
pearance in February, when she went
20 his shop to have her skates sharp
ened, and had declared his conduct
toward hCr was entirely correct.
Under Judge Zucconi's searching
questions today, however, Cocchi f.
Hally burst into tears. He became so
agitated as his confession fell halt
ingly from his lips that the persons
surrounding him believed he was
about to have an epileptic fit.

BOYS SEIZE ENGINE
Fun 1t Up and Down Tracks and
Have Lucky Escape.

Hickman, Ky.-Finding an n. c. &
st. L. railway engine idle on the side
track here, Chester Wright and Law
fence Allen, two boys about sixteen
years old, decided to run her to Cairo.
They engaged the services of another
boy about twelve years Old to fire
Tor them, but ne jumped the job. The
locomotive, however, carried enough
steam for immediate service and the
boys opened the throttle and went up
and down the track for 4 time before
they were discovered.
1t is a miracle that the engine did
not run off with them as there was
no air on to work the brakes even if
they had known how TO apply them.
They managed to stop BY throwing
the reverse, but had any speed been
attained this would not have worked.
The inbound passenger train was
due about this time, but w. r. Ph;pps,
local yardman, discovered the boys
just in time to get the engine back
in the clear. When asked what they
intended to do about meeting his
passenger train, one boy said: "We've
get aJ good chance to pass them as
they have us" The boys were az
rested and held for trial By Juvenile
Court.
1t is reported that the boys first
decided to get to Cairo on horseback.
and all three Of them on the same
horse tried to make the animal swim
The Mississippi river, but when the
horse got out about fifty wards and
struck the current he came back with
them.
