Lack of Coal May
Force More City
Schools to Close

Unless there is marked increase
before Monday in the quantity of coal
reaching New York many more city
schools will be closed, with the pros
pect that a majority of the city's
pupils will be forced to remain at home
before the end of another week.
Official figures given out yesterday
by Acting Superintendent Gustavc
Straubenmuller showed that sixty
four schools were closed. Fifty Of
these were without fuel, while fourteen
others were tied up because of frozen
pipes and damage that had been caused
by the cold during fuellcss days of the
present cold wave.
Most of the schools closed were in
Brooklyn. The total there was fifty
seven, and probably will be greater
next week. The supply of fuel for
schools in that borough. according tQ
Patrick Jones. superintendent of school
supplies, is practically at an end. In
Manhattan, however, the situation is
not quite SO bad.
According to Mr.. Jones, Manhattan
schools boast of an average of two
days supply of fuel. But with less
than half of the normal requirements
of the city being filled by the railroads,
this small margin is not expected to
keep the schools from being forced to
close later in the week.

Coal Famine Puts Plants
InNew Jersey on Half Time
Earnings of Thousands Reduced 50 Per Cent When Work
Week Is Cut to Three Days-Munition Factories
Hard Hit-Saloons May Close at 10 O'clock

The Garfield Worsted Mills, which
makes cloth for the government, has
been closed down three days. The
Botany Worsted Mills, at Passaic. has
it's own power plant, but is so >eort OF
coal that it is working at only half
capacity
All the mill owners of Passaic, and
those Of Paterson. who appealed in
vain yesterday to the fuel administers
ton at Washington will confer this
morning at Passaic with Charles f. II.
johnson, vice president of the Public
Service Corporation. on proposition
to have the power rule changed to elm
inate the alternate day feature and
substitute three consecutive working
days. Otherwise, they assert, thou
sands of yards of government cloth Will
be spoiled.
The arrival of five carloads of soft coal
at the Haskell plant, of the Dupont
Company, prevented complete shut
down last night, similar to that which
began December 16 and lasted until De
ccmber 81.
1--WE have plenty of barley anthra-
cite" said Mr.. Lynch, "but it is Of such
quality that it will not burn upnless
mixed with about 40 per cent of BIZ
tuminous.'
An official Of the Public Service Cor
poration declared last night that gov
crnment officials might increase the
coal car capacity IS per cent by institu
ing grading system at the mines or
enforcing grading rlcs. About a quar-
ter of the material now being brought
here as coal is Stag aud slate and other
non -combustiblc material" he said.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-11

New Jersey, with some Of its citi-
zens wrecking wooden outbuildings,
fences and furniture to obtain fuel
to heart their homes, went on half
rations of coal and power Ior many of
it's industrial plants yesterday. The
working time of hundreds of factories,
including those engaged on munitions
and war equipment. was cut IN half,
and the earnings of tens of thousands
of men and women operatives were au-
tomatically reduced about 50 per cent.
In announcing that it was necessary
to limit the 1000 industrial plants de-
pendent upon it for power to three
working days week, the Public Ser
vice Corporation, through John L..
O'Toolc. assistant to President Thomas
NJ. McCarter. said the coal situation
showed so little prospect of IMPROVE
ment that the half ratlons OF power
probably would continue until next
summer.
TO prevent still further curtailment,
owing to the fuel famine, Richard c.
Jcnkinson, New Jersey State Admins
traitor. asked William j. Brennan, New
ark Director of Public Safety, to order
the 1900 saloons of that city to close
nightly at 10 o'clock, after January 16.
Liquor dealers of Paterson, Passaic
and other cities discussed the same
proposition at 3 dinner in Paterson
last night. If the Newark saloons are
compelled to close early, it was said,
those of other cities would have to
submit to the same regulation. The
fuel administrator said voluntary ac-
ton was desired. but that the rule
could be enforced by the withdrawal of
fuel supplies.
The chief single victim of the coal
tle-up in JERSEY is the United States
army. The du Pont Powder Company
plants at Haskell and .Pompton Lakes
are behind in the production of eN.
plosives to the extent bf approximately
600,0 pounds of powder and nearly
200 900 pounds of guncotton because of
the frequent partial shut t-downs due to
failure of daily fuel supplies since De-
cember 16.
The three .days-a-week power rule in
stituted yesterday by the Public Service
Corporation affects about 800 silk and
other mills in Paterson and a large
number in Passaic, as woll as in other
cities of Essex, Passaic and Bergen
counties.
in Passaic it was estimated that al
least 10000 mill workers would be idle
to-day, the first of the off days pre-
scribed by the Public Service Corpora
tion. which hereafter in the zone COM
prslng the three above named counties,
will supply power only on Tuesdays
Thursdays and Saturdays Southern
New Jersey industrial centres will get
teh power OH the remaining thrc days
of the week.
Many of the Paterson and Passaic
plants have army contracts. Officials
of the Forstmann e. Huffman Company
in Passaic, which employs about 4,000
hands, said yesterday that its output Of
military and naval uniforms would be
halved.

Navy Man WEEDS Conductor
Whose Eyes Haunted Him
Charles H. LAWYER Discovers Nora 4annon Taking Fares
Gondoa Car and Promptly Pops the
Immortal Question

Waking and sleeping, pair of dark
eyes had haunted Charles III. LAWYER,
q chief petty officer on cruiser of the
Atlantic fleet, for two years, so when
he encountered their level gaze about
q month ago as hc stepped into gon-
dola car on Broadway the phenomenon
did not strike him as strange. Subcon
sciously he felt that Broadway traffic
could offer few difficulties to eyes that
had stood watch with him in brilliant
nights off Guantanamo and in buster
ing gloom beyond the Nantucket
Shoals.
"Farc please were the words that
aroused him to tho pecuiarity Of the
Broadway visitation. Never before had
the eyes spoken since he saw them in
Nora lannon's face two years before
at a birthday party in The Bronx
"Farc, pleasc-Mistcr Lawvcr!'
The eyes were twingling now as they
had not twinkled since the phonograph
played Home, Sweet Home" up on
White Plains Avenue two years ago,
and LAWYER sprang forward arms out

flesh, no less, despite the severe coat
OF blue with its brass buttons and the
cap with its conductors badge
Mora! !" gasped a befuddled chief
petty officer
"I'are, please" said Nora swectly.
Mechanically LAWYER placed a nickel
in the box. and that's the end of the
story, except that for the last month
you might have seen most any even
ing cap with two crossed anchors
over the peak on a hatstand in Maurice
lannon's home, at 3735 White Plains
Avenue. The Bronx, and that last night
there was wedding in st. Mary's Ro-
man Catholic Church, in 215th Street.
And for the rest of his days two
dark eyes will stand watch with Chief
Petty Officer LAWYER; and if you see a
PLAIN gold ring on the third finger Of
the left hand of trim young woman

enter q Broadway car, you can see the

Here to Disregard of
Fuel Administration

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-New York
Wholesale coai dealers tectitylng before
the Senate Investigating committee to-
day attributed mucn OF tho coal short
age in New York and other places to
disregard Of regular channels OF dis
tribution by the fuel administrator
on its efforts TO get fuel 60 certain
communities.
w. A. Marshall was on the stand
most of the day. His diagnosis was
concurred in hy G. c. Harris. Both
discussed the situation generally and
touched only lightly upon the acute
shortage in their own territory.
Mr.. Marshall warned the committee
to beware OF the labor situation as q
factor in the future fuel situation: and
predicted there would be a coal short
age for two or three years. He
praised ]. J. Storrow, the fuel ad-
ministrator for New England, for
taking the bull b. tho horns.
What has Storrow done y asked
Chairman Reed.
"He has raised tho devil. hut he
made good for New England" replied
Marshall.
"What did he do to the rest of the
country" persisted Reed

Proprietors Of Amusement
Places Declare Order
Means Ruin
Especial CorrcSpONdcnce


BOSTON, Jan. 10-A storm of pro-
test has arisen against Fuel Admins-
traitor Storrow for his 10 o'clock clos
ing order. Owners Of amusement
places, theatres and bowling alleys arc
the principal obiectors. The Office Of
the Fuel Administrator was bcsieged by
obiectors until it closed tonight.
Already tho theatre managers are ar
ranging a meeting for the purpose Of
discussing the situation. Many of them
declare that their business will be
ruined if the order is enforced.
They said that enforcement of the
order meant the throwing out of work
of five thousand persons. In explana
ton. they declared that theatrical COM
pancs would cancel their contracts
with Boston theatres.
A. S. Cobb, one OF Administrator
Storrow's assistants, explained that, in
saved directly by the earlier closings,
persons would go home and go to bed
earlier, thus relieving the strain on
lighting and strcetcar facilities.

Musicians declare the order will put
an end to all dancing, and that hun
work A number Of big affairs are
scheduled for early dates, and their
promoters are watching developments
in order to decide whether to abandon
their plans.
A delegation of musicians was one
of the most vigorous protestants to the
Fuel Administrator to-day. The Stage
Hands Union sent another delegation
to register its opposition 1t is un-
derstood that complainants will have
oppo ortunity to state their cases at e
hearing.
Mr. Cobb says cafes. lunchrooms and
restaurants will have to work out their
own salvation. In all cases the police
will cooperate and will report all viola
tons. The order is effective January ID
Bars will close at the appointed hour
but hotels and cafes may continue to
operate their dining rooms under regu-
latons prescribed by the excise com
mission.
Mr.. Cobb said he understood the New
York authorities were dcring is
suing a similar order.

Fuel Administrator Storrow has not
yet received anyyreply to his telegram
to Washington last night protesting
against the request to supply 800 tons
OF coal to the British steams ship Crowell
and in which he declared the Washing.

Connecticut Plants on
Hand-fo-Mouth Coal
Basis in Shortage

HARTFORD, Jan. 1o.--Lack of coal
has closed no essential industrial
plants in this state. but it has brought
ell Of them to q "hand to mouth" basis
in their operation. The shortage has
closed some schools, caused churches
to hold services in chapcls, brought
about a general movement for the
earlier closing of saloons and has made
the lghtless night an institution uni
versaly observed. IN rural sections
domestic consumers have been asked
to substitute wood for coal.
In Rockville. Tolland County. three
big woollen mills have closed and thou
sands of employees are without work.
Since Monday the saloons of this city
have been closing at 10 o'clock.
The local fuel commission III Bridge
port has suggested that churches, busi-
ucss houses and saloons close at an
earlier hour than usual. The churches
have answered that they will close
their doors completely if the saloons
will do the same. The saloon men arc
willing to close carly but do not think
that the situation compels them TO sus-
