Railroads Give Coal
Trains Right of Way;
FAVOR Passenger Embargo
BY Associated Press

Pottsville, Pa, Jan. 21.-More coal
trains were started for tidewater in
the last thirty-six hours than were
moved in single week of the coal
shortage, according to railroad men.
All railroads tapping the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite fields, by mobilizing
locomotives. crews and laborers, have
made headway in reducing the num-
Der of loaded coalcars which had
been jammed in classification yards
and on sidings.
At least 5000 "batleships" and hop
pers, thei rcapacity ranging from
fifty to twenty tons, railroad officials
estimate, are strung out along the
lines in the mining districts. The
railroads hope to break the conges-
tion by the end of the week
General Manager Keffer, of the
Reading Railway, has taken charge
of coal train movements out of the
st. Clair yard, four miles from here

holding upwards of 10000 tons, left
between midnight Sunday and 6
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Both the Pennsylvania and the
Reading gave coal trains the right
of way over passenger traffic. The
Lehigh Valley Cancelled all Sunday
passenger movements on branch lines
AS the most effective means of re-
lieving the congestion, railroad men
declare a passenger embargo should
be obtained for from two to five days
on branch lines.
What the railroads needs most is
engines" said an official. AAnd then
they require clear tracks to haul the
coal to the markets. Elimination of
passenger trains for few days might
have a howl from the public but it
would end in breaking the coalcar
congestion"

Deserted Streets Usher
in First Heatless Monday
Observed in New York
By AsSocintcd prctt

New York, Jan. 21.-Almost desert
ed streets in the downtown business
section and shopping districts gave
evidence to-day that Industrial New
York generally observed the first of
the "heatless" Mondays decreed by
the national fuel administration.
Skyscraper office buildings virtu-
ally were untenanted; great depart
ment stores closed their doors: hun
dreds of factories and small business
houses were idle. All transportation
lines in the city and communicating
service were run on holiday schedules.
Food stores were open, as were spe-
cially exempted industries, but many
OF them operated on a restricted
basis.
Theatres were allowed to remain
open, but they must close to-morL
row. The New York Stock Exchange
opened for business-but without heat
and banks did business as usual.
Saloons were privileged to open until
sunset on condition that they did not
use either fuel or light. Local fuel
administrators even forbade the use
of lamps, lanterns or candles as
substitutes for gas or electricity.
Colder weather had a discouraging
effect on the transportation officials
who have been making almost super
human efforts to relieve freight con-
gestion and to bring more coal into
the city. Increasing ice in the har-
tor. has held up hundreds of coal
laden barges from tidewater.

Mechanicsburg, Pa, Jan. 21.-
Boy Scouts of Mechanicsburg, under
direction of their scoutmaster, the
Rev. B. L. c. Baer, are busily en-

This is being done in response to
the Letter sent to Colin H. Living
stone. president of the National
Council OF Boy Scouts of America,
by President Woodrow Wilson, and
the boys become dispatch bearers in
carrying to the homes of their com.
munity the pamphlets on the war,

Many Try Skating
Thousands of youths and maidens
put in a big part of the day skat-

reaching Wildwood and other fa-
vorite places because the trolley
cars were of necessity operating

Sundays and on Sunday schedules.

except such businesses as use heat
or power, nothing being said against
outside work. However, many ous-
mess men found that a large part
Of work which they had contem-
Lated doing had to be abandoned
because of the close relation it had
in some way with the use of heat.
Stores Open Tomorrow
Much of this work was hamper
Gu because IL was found that it
could not be carried out successfully
without the directing office, and
offices had to be closed. There was
some outside repair work and some
hauling done, neither of which re-
qu-res heat or power.
Tomorrow will be the last OF the
five general holidays and after Il
business will resume as usual until
next Monday when everything again
VIII be closed. The order for to-
morrow will be the same as it was
last Friday and Saturday.
Retail shops and stores will be
oneE, but factories and manufactur-
ing plants must be closed.

Business at Standstin
Although the orders forbid the
use of fuel for heating, officials were
sure business would cease and Or.
Garfield last night issued a direct
request that all retail establishments
except food and drugstores close
their doors for the day. Thearers
whose closing day was changed to
Tuesday by special ruling Satur-
day opened as usual.
Owners and leasers of office
buildings to-day received requests to
observe the spirit as we'll as the
letter of the order and operate no
lights and elevators except for the
use of exempted persons or concerns
such as dentists and doctors.
Handicapped by another cold
wave, covering the greater part of
the country east of the Rockies, rail-
roads strove to increase the move-
ment to coal to favored classes and
straighten the freight tangle. Re-
ports indicate the supply to house
holders and steamship interests had
been increased by the officials
directing the railroads asserted there
was little hope for material i'm
provement in traffic conditions un-
til the weather moderated.
Freight Embargo
Those who have urged a general
embargo against shipment of freight
from plants shut down by the clos
ing order still believed to-day that
such action would be necessary be-
fore the congestion is improved. A
general embargo on freight was put
in operation on the Pennsylvania
Railroad to-day and other roads are
expected to institute similar en-
bargoes on their heatless Mondays If
the Jam is not broken.

In the write up last week of the
marriage performed by Judge Steng
er we failed to give the complete
name of the bride. She was Miss
Ethel Moreno Bucklin, daughter of
John Bucklin of Horton township,
apd was married to Harry Nieland,
a young man from the navy.
P. N. Fenger, of st. Paul, repre-
senting the State Board of Health,
was in Morris Monday checking up
the influenza situation and to find
out what had been done to check the
disease. He seemed satisfied with
the way the epidemic was being
handled and thought that every
thing had been done that was pos
sible to do under the circumstances.
He took a complete report back with
him to headquarters.
Word was received by friends in
Morris on Wednesday that Mrs.
Chas. S. Burke had just died of the
influenza at her home at Omaha.
She leaves her husband and three
small children to mourn her untime-
ly death, besides other relatives.
Mrs. Burke came to Morris some
years ago as a bride, and lived here
until about two years ago, when Mr..
Burke went to Montana to engage
in the land business. While here
she enjoyed the esteem of large
circle of friends, who now mourn her
death, and extend heartfelt sympathy
to her surviving husband and chill
dren.
