Mrs. Lizzie BLY, Buck


A deep gloom was cast over the en-
tire community by the death of Mrs.
Lizzie Buck which occurred at her
home Tuesday January %, after
about four weeks illness from a
stroke of paralysis from which she
never recovered. Lizzie Bly, was the
eldest daughter of John and Ann
Kathan Bly,. She was born in Char
lesion August 20, 1915. She re-
ceived her education in the Charles
ton and Derby schools. AS a school
girl she was very studious and passed
her lessons with energy and thor
oughness that always gives a good
recitation. Ladylike in manners, her
department always perfect, and as a
teacher she insisted on the same
thoroughness with her pupil marked
with order and discipline, which re-
suited in a successful teacher.
She was united in marriage Janu-
airy LIST, 1869 to Walter Buck, who
died when he was a young man and
she was left with three small boys
and large farm to care for, but the
same energy and thoroughness so
characteristic in her life that she
managed her task so we'll one often
heard the remarks: "the widow
Buck was a good farmer" AS her
health began to decline she sold her
farm to her eldest son John and pur-
chased the little home in the village
where she lived at the time of her
death. She was most loving and
helpful mother, never firing in do
ing things for the comfort of
her children and grandchildren.
She was a devoted member of the
Congregational church here from its
organization and was willing helper
with her time and substance, never
refusing any good thing. She was
always present at all church services
unless hindered by sickness. She has
been faithful member of the Red
Cross. Mrs. Buck was loved and
respected by all who knew her and
will be greatly missed by old and
young. She leaves to mourn her loss
three sons, John, Eugene and Leon,
all of East Charleston, and two
grandchildren, also one brother,
Edward Bly,. Her funeral was held
at the home Thursday afternoon at
2 o'clock, Rev. Eugene Southland
officiating. He spoke very feelingly
from the text, End Timothy 4th
chapter 7 & s verses. Interment
was in the family,lot in Hillside ceme-
terry. The floral tributes were many
and beautiful. Those attending the
funeral from out of town were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Lemuel Allbee. Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Cushing, Mr.. and
Mrs. FL astus Buck of Newport, Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Nelson and Mr.. and
Mrs. z. II. Buck of West Charles

shortage In Austria:

Der 16 to January Is. At Zizkov (near
Prague) the schools have already been
closed for a month, and the holidays
are likely to last three months. At
Budenitz, close to coal mines, the
school is closed. At Smichow strin-
gent measures for economy in the use
of electricity have been taken owing
to the lack of coal; for example, pri-
vate consumers are ordered to restrict
their consumption to a single lamp.
The lighting of stairs and vestibules
is restricted as much as possible and
must in no case be continued after 9
p. m; the closing Of the electricity
works is threatened.
"At Lemberg the electric trans

Only s British
Ships Sunk by
U-Boatsin Week
Number the Lowest but
One Since Unrestricted
Campaign Began

LONDON, Jan. 1G.-Sinkings Of Brit
ish merchantmen by mine or submarine
in the last week we're the lowest, with
the exception of one since the unrc-
stricted campaign began eleven months
ago.
The Admiralty report tonight shows
that only six ships of 1900 tons or
over were sunk, in addition to TWO
merchantmen under that tonnage, and
two fishing vessels.
This is decrease of twelve major
ships under the figures OF the two pre-
vious weeks, when eighteen large ships
and three small ones were sunk in
each case. The low record was at
tanned in the week ended November II
when only one major vessel was sunk
with five minor ones.
The severity of the weather condi-
tions throughout Europe may account
for the falling off in sinkings. while
at the same time the Allies defensive
methods are becoming more efficient
every week.
The Admiralty summary Of the
weeks developments is as follows: Ar

Airrnen Killed at
Mineola Testing
Liberty Motor
Harold Blakeley, Foremost
Civilian Aviator, and
Edward Higgins Fall

HEMPSTEAD. Long Island, Jan. 10
Harold Blakeley, one Of the foremost
civilian aviators in the United States,
and Edward Higgins, also skilled
fier. were killed this afternoon. near
here, when the aeroplane in which they
fell to the earth at Central Park, Long
Island. from the height Of 200 feet.
The cause Of the accident could not
be learned because government officials
who were watching The test decreed
that those who had seen the acropane
fall should keep their mouths shut.
1t is known. however, that Blakele y
and Higgins, who was acting as pas
senger, were descending when sudden
~ their craft "tail spun" and came
crashing down to earth. Both men were
terribly injured. They were still alive
when an ambulance reached them from
Nassau Hospital, five miles away. but
they died while being taken to the in
sttution.
For some time past Blakeley and Hig
gins have been trying out an az. W.
f." plane, equipped with the Liberty
motor, for the joint purpose Of demon
stratng to government officials the
merits of motor and flying machine.
Employees Of the l.. w. f. Company re-
fused to discuss the accident last night
Blakelcy, who was married and lived
at Flushing. Long Island, was one of
the best tiiers in the United States. He
taught at the Mineoa Flying Field for
a time during last summer and fall, and
lad jown for years both in the East
and West. He acted as pilot last Sep
tember for Colonel Roosevelt, when
the former President enjoyed half
hour flight above the Mineola Field.
Higgins was also an experienced flier.
He was single and lived in Elizabeth,

ccived the order from Washington" )"
was the reply
Reeve Schlcy, administrator for New
York County, and one of the original
advocates of putting industry on part
time as a means of saving fuel, was
even more surprised at the extent of
the order.
Its complete surprise to me- he
said. ~ have had no knowledge of the
plan, which is even more drastic than
any that was suggested while MIR.
Noyes was here az our conferences. /
cannot comment on it, of course, until
hear from Washington.
II will say, however. that we con-
slider ourselves soldiers here just as
much as If we were in the trenches.
1T is up TO us to carry out our orders,
for these are war times"
The order found New York's visible
supply OF coal dwindling far below the
average meagre total received during
the present famine. The city's receipts
for the day, according to Mr.. Schley,
were 23.6O0 tons, or considerably less
'f.'ti ''eii VI VIC udily
Figures made public by A. II. Smith,
acting commissioner of railroads here,
showed that cars of coal still were
crowding the tracks at tidewater on the
other side of the North River The
fuel problem of the city continued to
be one of transportation across the
river.
These figures showed that 1,16O cars
of coal We're dumped into bargcs dur
ing the day. There were 3O5 coal
carrying vessels awaiting the fuel, how
ever, and this quantity Of fuel soon was
consumed The table announced that
4,6l9 cars of coal still were standing at
tidewater awaiting dumping last night
The railroad officials carefully
avoided a continuation Of the long
standing controversy with local fuel
administrators here concerning the coal
tonnage on the other side of the North
River by making their reports by cars
rather than by tons.
Figured on a basis of fifty tons to
the car. as the railroad officials con-
tend is the average, the fuel now
New-York tribune., 1918-01-17

standing at terminals in New Jersey,
and almost within a stones throw Of
the city, amounts to $50, $50 tons. Even
allowing for the $4,000 tons set aside
daily for the shipping in the harbor,
it is agreed that this fuel would go
far toward supplying the city's needs
for many days.
One of the most important needs Of
the city just now, according do JOS
eph +. Parsons, manager of the United
States Board of Emergency Coal, is
ice breakers. if there were enough
heavy boats to break the ice impeding
the progress of fuel bargcs. he said
that there would be no problem of
getting coal across the North River.
Tine boats could be used for other
purposes when not required for this
work. he said. "While this is the
first time in seven years that the ice
has been such an obstacle to naviga-
ton in the harbor, we should be pre-
pared to meet the situation when it
arises"
Labor TO man the dumps that drop
coal from cars to thebarges is another
requisite that probably will be taken
up at this mornings conference of fue,
heads. Numerous suggestions have
been made for Communicating labor,
but none has been carried out.
A suggestion made to State Admin
lstrator Wiggin last night was that
carts and motor trucks should be com
mandeered and sent across on the fer
ries to bring back coal, just as Burns
Brothers' wagons do each day
IT sveral thousand vehicles could be
impressed into service for this work
much of the work of dumping the coal
on the Jersey side would be avoided
and the fuel would be ready for i'm
mediate delivery to its final destina-
ton.
us there any reason why big pur-
chasers of coal could not send their
own wagons over and obtain this fuel ."
asked this advocate of individual ham
ding of coal orders. There IS no
question that the coal is piled mountain

River All that is necessary is to 90
after it"

aft Urges the Rope
AS Cure for Spies

The rope as a sure cure for spying
by German agents was advocated by
former President Taft last night in an
address before the members Of the Ma

icy of the Administration and went on
country at this time, MIR. Taft said:
when Germans are caught tamper-
ing with munitions or burning build
ings they deserve nothing but the

The real danger to the United States,
he insisted. was in making peace
which would permit the "Potsdam
crowd" to remain in power. He also
predicted that the war would last at
least two years longer. possibly three

City Officials Surprised at Order;
Coal Receipts T Here Still Dwindling

Fuel administrators in New York last
night freely agreed that nobody knew
just how DR.. Gariield's industrial clos

tries, or how its provisions would be
carried into execution. Moreover, there
was wide variance of opinion among
officials and business men as to whether
its results would be beneficial or catas-
trophic.
The order was so much more drastic
than any that had been proposed by
fuel leaders who participated in con-
terences with +. b. Noyes, Dr.. Gar
