THE GIRL WHO FUSSES.

The fussy girl sat next us in the
car this morning. And she fused
and she fused and she fused.
She settled herself three times,
hunched up her right shoulder, took
off her right glove and patted her
hair, pulled the back of her sailor
collar into shape, shrugged up her
left shoulder, pulled off her left
glove and patted her hair, pushed
her hat a little more to one side,
and put on both gloves; patted her
hair and crossed her right ankle
over her left, squared both shoulders
and patted her hair, settled herself
in a new position and pulled her
coat down at the waist, patted her
hair, surveyed her nose in the tiny
glass at the bottom of her bag and
patted her hair, pulled her hat a
bit more to one side and re-
versed her ankles, then began at

CRAZY OLD NEGRO
GOT SOLDIERS GOAT

Spartanburg, Sept. 14.-Every-
body in Spartanburg knows "Trot-
ting Sally" the demented old negro
who imagines that he is a horse and
at times that he is a dog. "Sally'
is just as crazy as the man who i'm
AGNES that Greenville is a bigger
city than Spartanburg, but he is per
fectly harmless, and he has had the
run of the streets for a long time.
A couple of the North Carolina
infantry provost guard found "Sally"
out near the union station the other
afternoon, paving the ground and
neighing at passing vehicles, and de-
cided that he should be taken care
of. "Come on, old horse, and let's
60 to the STABLE" said one of the
soldiers, taking his arm.
"Sally's" mood changed and he de-
cided that he was a dog. He growled
and barred his teeth. The other
guardsmen took hold of him.
Then "Sally" snapped viciously
and made every show of trying to
bite. The soldiers decided that they
needed reinforcements, and one
started off for help while the other
remained no guard duty. -
In a few minutes a dozen or more
troopers were seen coming on a run,
and "Sally" has a new idea. He de-
cided to be a squirrel, and scam
pered up a telephone pole. The SOL
diers ordered him to come down, but
he did not obey. He chung to the
pole, head down, and reviled them
with all the gibberish at his COM
mand.
Finally, one of the soldiers started
to climb the pole, too, but it was no
use. "Trotting Sally" became a bird
and scared over the heads of the
ring of men and hit the ground run
ming. The men started in pursuit,
but they didn't have wings and they
were soon left Ear behind.
The soldiers spent the rest of the
afternoon walking around in circles
and staring at each other. "Trotting
Sally" had got their goat and gone
off with it.

Coal Combine Says
1t Protected Public

Opening the case for the defence at
the trial of coal operators in the Fed
ersl Building, John B. Stanchfield, one
of the defendants many attorneys. de-
clared il was an abnormal demand for
coal that first caused the market to
stiffen.
He said the defendants mad not re-
ceived any great profits, and that if
there were such they went TO others
than those on trial.
"These men did meet" Mr. Stanch-
field declared. land they expressed
opinions on what they should get for
their coal. but that expression, open
and free. should not nut their liberty
in jeopardy.
81 think practically every other prod
uct in the United States had increased
in price long before the effect of the
war began TO show in the price of BIZ
luminous coal"
Mr. Stanchfeld said that from Au-
gust, 1916, until the present there had
not been a period when every operator
of a bituminous coal mine could not
sell his product al figure far in eX-
cess of his contract prIce. He asserted
that the combination of operators was
rot an unreasonable restriction placed
upon trade, but was in the interest of
the public.
Three witnesses called by the defence
testified to mining and shipping condi-
tens, uses of coal and prices during
the time covered BY the Federal grand
jury indictment

Iowan Foresees $500, 000,'
900 Jump in American
Fuel Bill
Railroads Pay So a Ton
Rates Made for Government
Said To Be at Least so
Per Cent Greater
.From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, July 3.-If the prices
negotiated by the Coal Committee Of
the Council of National Defence should
be accepted ultimately by the gov
eminent as fair and reasonable, it will
mean that the fuel bill Of the Ameri-
can people throughout the ensuing
year will be 100000, 900 more than
that of last year, according to a state
ment made before the Senate Commit
tee on Interstate Commerce to-day by
Clifford Thornc, Iowa State Railroad
Commissioner.
"The tentative prices established by
Mr. Peabody's committee last week
average more than 100 per cent greater
than the prices on the same coal at
the same markets one year ago de-
clared Mr.. Thorne.
Moreover. the tentative prices
agreed TO by Mr. Peabody's commit
tee last week, which have been
heralded as great reductions" he con-
tiuued, ARE from 80 to 100 per cent
g.eater than the rate at which many
coal companies have voluntarily con-
tracted their output 20 the railroads
during the ensuing year, according to
contracts negotiated within the last
three months.
"The New York Central at the re-
quest of counsel for the shippers in the
fifteen per cent case filed the prices
provided in its contracts for coal dur
ing the year 1917. There are twelve
such contracts. The highest price pro-
vided in any one of the contracts is
lower than the lowest price named by
the Peabody committee. The average
1917 price on coal, including overlop-
ping contracts and new contracts. for
the New York Central is below 50
per ton.
This spring the Norfolk G. West
ern made forty-six coal contracts, not
onoe of which was for more than 50
per ton.
O. am not surprised that the Secre-
tary of the Navy declined to approve
a $3.50 or So price for the United
States government.
I'VE have the average prices at
which the coal operators of Indiana
have been selling their product during
the past few months. and we find the
prices established by the Peabody
committee are over 80 per cent great
er than the actual prices averaged in
any one of the past six months, up to
and including April. 1917"
