WANT COAL At OICE
FOR THE CITY IO]R
Police Will Begin Census TO
Ascertain Of Once Who
Is Suffering
ACTION SUGGESTED
BY Mr.. CONNELLY

The Board Of Police Commissioners
yesterday directed Chief Black to have
the patrolmen Of the city take q census
Of the city 10 determine what families
are 10 need OF coal William NJ. Con
nelly asked that the police be allowed
to make such a canvass.
Il is Mr.. Counelly's idea that when
needy families are found TO make am
appeal TO the fuel administration and to
the public and see that they are sup
piled with fuel
Mr.. Connolly believed that conditions
among the working classes in Whining
ton are precarious and that action for
relief is needed at once. Mr.. Connolly
stated that a number Of families liv-
ing IN the Twelfth ward had appealed
TO him for coal and that he had done
everything possible but without being
able TO help them.
He said there are many families in
this city who are without coal ana
among them are families having mem
bers who are sick and others where
there are newborn babes, yet it Is
impossible he declared, 20 get fuel FOR
the homes Of these people.
Mr.. Connolly alleged that many OF
the smaller dealers among the retail
coal men seem unable 10 get any coal
referring to this condition Mr.. Connolly
thought the coal coming into the city
should be distributed equally among all
the dealers.
Mr.. Connolly said that on last Mon
day. he had called on the telephone
ebert d. Kemp, chairman Of The VII
mington Fuel Administrative Commit
tee and told him Of the conditions he
claimed are prevailing in the ward IN
which he, Connolly, lived. Tie said
Mr.. Kemp told him he did not know
what he was talking about.
Mr.. Connolly said that In Camden
n j.. a census had been taken by the
police. who found 1900 families with
out fuel. The following Sunday the fuel
administrator in that city had 1000 tons
of coal delivered in Camden, for the
use OF those families that were without
II. lie thought the situation here is one
| for the fuel administration TO consider
but for sC.ae reason the administration
/ in Wilmington he said does not seem
anxious to bother about the matter.
The plan TO make the canvass mere
/ however, met with the approval Of inc
members OF the police board and ac-
.cordingly it vii br|started by the po-
| hce at once.

New York, June 22.-That the Nationa. league would complete the present seas- ons schedule even though it became necessary to draft amateurs to fill the de- pleted ranks, was the assertion made today by Secretary Heydler. speaking of fically for the senior organization.
