Fuel Shipments Checked.

Chicago, Jan. 22.--The worst fuel
situation in the history of the city
c%onfronts Chicago, according to John
r.. Williams, state fuel administrator.
Despite the fiv day suspension of
business, including the saving Of 35.-
600 tons yesterday, no surplus was
created. The new coal, mined before
the blizzards which started January
h-6. went promptly into empty bins
and yawning furnaces.
The coal mined befo"e the storm
has been consumed, Mr.. Williams said.
and industries face another shutdown
because Of the lack Of fuel.
The city is now entering on a period
where the recent paralysis Of mining
and transportation will be felt at its
worst. MI. Williams said that instead
of a coal deficit in Illinois Of $4,000
tons. as was at first estimated, the
administration has found q shortage
of 1.250,GGO tons which the mines
must produce to bring the situation
to normal.

ton p Slack yesterday, addressing one
Arthur Dumas of Winooski, who was
testifying in defense of his position

senting Mrs. Dumas in the divorce pro-
eeedings when he burst out with an oath.
The Judge cautioned him against re-
peating Ii but in the excitement of the
next few words he swore again. There
upon the court asked the sheriff to take
him out.
Hearing was had Tuesday afternoon
on the petition of the woman, at which
time Dumas was asked to appear. He
did not, however, and came in yesterday
morning with his attorney, M. @. Leary
to contest the matter of alimony for his
wife. 1t appeared by her evidence that
he was getting good wages but that he
spent nearly all on drink and would not
support her and four children, the young.

Dumas told the court that he never
drank and that he did support his family
until his wife left him. He was willing

got excited and swore, with subsequent
removal from the court room.
The case was entered for the March
term Of court but the Judge allowed
hearing this term.
