Mariners Harbor station of the Stat
en- Island Rapid Transit. The raid
was ordered by DR.. E. D. Wisely, san
itary superintendent for Richmond.

ty-five were taken before Magistrate
Evans in the first district court. Each

from commodiouss and by their langu-
age and conduct have compelled wom-
en- to take refuge on the station plat

lieve the situation and to form some
system whereby those people that have
enough coal to last them through to

coal from dealers should not be any
more. Mr.. Williams promised that an
