cording to this report the shortage
is serious. The report shows Mock
and Hartman, W.. s. Stroh, q. It.
Milleisen, J. B. Montgomery, J. E.
Dare. city coal dealers, are without
a supply of coal. The United Ice
and Coal Company are without any
coal in it's yard in Fifteenth street,
and with very little at its main
plant in Forster and Cowden sereets.
The ]. H. Lands Company Is re-
ported without coal, and the small
supply of McCreath Brothers is said
to. be oversold. +. j. Wallis is said
to have a supply in his yard, which
is probably sold. This last dealer
received four cars of coal on Mon
day, and is able 10 haul away a car
day for delivery. $50 ..-.....~.-.,.
The conference with the Mayor
this afternoon is expected TO prlng
results. Mr.. Hickok said that he
will attempt TO enlist the aid of the
motorcycle police to investigate over
stocked cellars, and the conditions of
the yards of the coal dealers. The
fuel administrators wants the Mayor
to repeat his former efforts to find
out just where coal is needed worst.
At that time the Mayor had the po-
lice secure a list of untitled coal
orders. The fuel dictator wants an
investigation of needy cases made,
and thinks that the police can ham
die cases of absolute suffering. The
police have so far in the situation
been able to secure coal for needy
families where they delivered it
themselves.
Pooling Resources
There has been talk of pooling the
resources of the dealers, to facilt-
tate coal deliveries, and insure
proper distribution of the supply. At
the meeting between the Mayor and
coal dictator this afternoon, the adj
visa bility of the city guarding the
operation of the coal industry in
this city, and securing and delivering
the coal, will be discussed. The fuel
man said that the city has the power
to DO this.
Industries Need Fuel
There will be no classification OF
Industries in Harrisburg, Mr.. Hic-
xix said. Owing to the fact that
nearly all the large industries here
are working on government con-
tracts, they are all vitality in need
of coal, and no measures for their
will be taken, the fuel
administrator said.
The fuel administrator said that
he will get in touch with the Har-
risburg Light and Power Company
to-day. If there is a coal shortage
at that plant, or il their supply of
coal ordered to take the
place of their depleted river road
does not arrive in town, all outside
lights in Harrisburg, except street
lights, will be ordered extinguished
every night but Saturday.

Caused by Collapse OF Tons
of Masonry.

Washington. April 5.--The horrible
shambles caused by the collapse of
tons of masonry from the vaulted
arches OF the Paris church bombarded
by the Germans on Good Friday Is
graphically described in a paraphrase
of the report of the incident by United
States Ambassador Sharpe, made pub
lie by the state department today.
The statement follows:
THE appalling destruction wrought
by the shell is, as the am bassador re-
marks, probably not euualled by any
single discharge OF any hostile Eun

suits. In no other one SPOT in Paris.

the measure OF the toll exacted.
Far up to the high vaulted arches,
between the flying buttresses well to
the front of the church, is a great
gap in the wall from which fell upon
the heads of the devoted worshippers
many tens of solid masonry. 1t was
this that caused such great loss of

he could easily picture the scene that
followed the explosion. The amount
OF debris remaining just as it fell on
the floor covered the entire space be-
tween the lefty columns supporting
the arches at each side. Only a mir

serious injury those who esoa ped the
falling mass. The scene was that of
some horrible shambles and IL was
