Two Ohio Cities
Seize Coal to
End Shortage
Mayors of Akron and Can
ton Act in Emer-
gency
Set Prices for Fuel
Situation in Middle West Will
Be Relieved Shortly, 1t
Is Believed

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Oct l3.-Coal
scarcity impelled city officials Of Can
ton and Akron to seize thousands OF
tons OF coal to-day.
J. VI. Roam, head Of the State Clear
ing House, notified the Chamber OF
Commerce Of Canton that coal would
be- shipped to that city tomorrow
morning. Mayor Schrantz Of Canton,
however. regarded the situation as 80
serious that he confscated 1000 tons
Of coal which was IN the bins Of the
Central Power Comrany, which sup
plies electricity 10 the city
In confiscsting the coal it's price was
liked at $3.50 ton.
Akron Confiscates Coal
Long trains passing through Akron
heaped with coal for the Northwest
aggravated citizens, and 100 cars were
confiscated by order Of Mayor ". b.
Laud. The cars contained about 1000
tons. which will be sold through local
dealers at price Of $3.50 a ton.
Reports from Eastern Kentucky and
Northeastern Tennessee state that
about $50 Of the coal mine1 III those
districts affected by the recent strike
have failed to reopen. The idle mines
are. for the most part, small ana 100
latel ones. Their operators declare
that the government price does not
permit them 10 produce coal at proht.
Tho cost in such mines, they assert,
is greater thar in the larger ones,
which have better transportation fsclll-
ties. The larger mines are reported TO
be producing their normal output. The
small operators, despite their complaint
concerning the price fixed by the gov
eminent. admit that many of their
properties were lying idle before the
rise in coal prices.
Shortage May BE Relieved
Dispatches from Washington lead to
the belief that the serious coal short
age in Chicago and other parts OF Hi
nois may soon be relieved.
John +. Williams, OF Streator. H..
was appointed to-day by the Fuel Ad-
ministration as State Fuel Admins
traitor. He is empowered 10 call upon
the Washington authorities for what
ever amount of coal is necessary TO
meet the needs Of Chicago
Railroads throughout the Middle
West and Central States are still
strained b. abnormal traffic conditions,
but there arpears TO be an ample flow
of fuel toward the Northwest and the
Great Lakes, which gives rise to the
belief that when attention is called 70
conditions in this vicinity, the shortage
will be relieved.

Mrs. w. J. Bryan
Speaks in Street
For Sufragists
Tells East Siders Votes for
Women Increase Com
radeship in Homes

I'm the midst Of the Saturday night
swirl Of Pitt and Grand streets, a
sweet-faced. white-hair woman stood
in an automobile las. night and talked
on the subject Of comradeship in the
home. II was Mrs. William Jennings
Bryan in her first suffrage speech in
the New York campaign.
"Liebe Freunde. ich verstehe die
Deutsche Sprache sehr gut, aber die
Yiddische NIGHT" she began. "es lst
mir sehr lieb hier "a sein aber ! muss
auf Englisch sprechen."
Her apology was the result OF the
violently oratorical address OF one o.
her predecessors Socialist speaker.
who talked in Ylddish.
Justice of Cause Admitted
ITS too late 20 be talking about
woman suffrage from the standpoint
Of justice" said Mrs. Bryan. "Pract.-
cally all people now recognize that
women can claim the vote as a right.
But some Of you may want TO know
how woman suffrage works. you may
doubt the eXpediency OF giving US Tire
vote. Let me tell you how IT helps
inside the home.
w omen interest ana participate
in political affairs bring happiness
into the home because il furthers COM
radeship between the husband and the
wife. II adds one more important
mutual interest, an interest so close
the home, by the way. that women
cannot separate themselves from II.
Again women's voting helps to bet
ter the home. because women can con
troll sanitary, food and health condi-
tIons with the vote. They can see to II
that their children have the best
schools, that the streets are safe. The
vote is decidedly an affair for home
makers, my friends"
Socialist Asks About Vote
Mrs. Bryan was Immediately preced-
ed by Jacob Panken. candidate for
Judge on the Socialist ticket.

men are going to vote for suffrage -
asked Mr. Panken. Practically every
man in the crowd raised his hand.
Mrs Bryan is the guest OF Miss
Lillian Wald az the Henry Street Set
Element She will be the guest Of
honor at a suffrage tea this afternoon
at one of tie Henry Street settlements,
and will speak. She will appear again
tonight at the suffrage performance at
