EAST GRAND FORKS
BREWERY OCCUPIES
FULL COURT TERM
Twenty-nine Cases Growing Out
of Raids to be Tried by
Cooley.

Grand Forks, N D., Jan. 5.-John II.
McInerney of the East Grand Forks
Brewery company was made defend
ant in 20 cases in which the state
charges bootlegging in violation OF
the laws of North Dakota. Yesterday
morning States Attorney Theodore B.
Elson presented the charges against
him in the district court. TO these
charges Mcinerney pleaded not guilty,
and in short speech charged the
state with persecution as it purpose
instead of prosecution. Assistant At
torneys General Dan V. Brennan and
H. A. Bronson were present as repre-
sentatives of the state, while George
R. Robbins of the firm of Bangs and
Robbins appeared as counsel for the
defendant.
Yesterday morning the district
court with Judge Charles M. Cooley
presiding officer, convened for the
purpose of opening the regular Janu-
ary term, and it did little else than
call the calendar and make necessary
arrangements. Provisions were made
to hold the criminal cases before the
civil cases. These will be presented
to the court beginning January Is. at
which time the jury has been notified
to convene. 1t was found that the
lawyers were busy in the midst of
giving assistance and answering ques-
tionaires in the legal advisory board.
It was agreed among them last week
that the court would be postponed
until Jan. Is, as it is expected by that
date that the questionaires shall all
be answered.

NEW YORK RICH
AND POOR ALIKE
SUFFER TORTURE
Intense Cold and Inadequate Coal
Supply Closes Many Office
Buildings.
HALF OF SUPPLY ARRIVES
Coal at Jersey Tide Water But
Barges are Frozen Fast
In the Ice.

New York, Jan. 5-Preceded by
powerful railroad tugs acting as ice
breakers, a fleet of ocean going barges
was on its way to New York from
New Jersey tide water points
pected half of this supply would be
unloaded before morning. 1t was not
until late tonight, when they were in
formed that the ice jam had been
broken, that fuel administrators and
transportation officials felt they could
safely suspend for few hours their
efforts to bring relief to the sorely
stricken city. If the barges arrive
without mishap they will be just in
time to prevent the closing for lack
of fuel of many large office buildings,
hotels and apartment houses.
New York, Jan. 5.-Despite con.
centrated efforts to relieye the situa.
tion, the city today experienced Its
worst distress since the extreme cold
weather began week ago. ..
Aside from continued widespread
suffering in the homes of rich and
poor alike, so serious was the coal
shortage that many large office build
ings will close tomorrow, according to
Reeve Schley, county fuel administrat-
or, unless supplies reach the city dur
ing the night. The Union Trust COM
pany and the New York Life buildings
closed today and lacking fresh sup
plies of fuel, he said. the Western I'm
ion, the Empire, the Stuart, the New
York Sun, and the Adams Express
buildings will close tomorrow.
The greatest problem again tonight
was the freeing of coal laden barges
from the packed ice floes at tldeWater
points to get them across to Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn shores.
Mr.. Schley estimated that about 20
900 tons had reached the city In the
last "a hours, a little more than nall
of the citys normal daily supply.
Not only were many downtown SKY
scraprers without heat, but large west
side apartment houses had no coal
and for two days thousands OF tamil.
les have had neither heat nor not
water.
