Plans to Increase Tonnage.

However, the railroad administra-
tion is interested in bringing about the
transportation Of the largest possible
tonnage Of coal from the coal fields to
Washington by way of the canal. II is
to be assumed that under private man
agement the railroads reaching Wash
rail, but under existing conditions the
railroad administration is anxious to
relieve the. railroads reaching Wash
ington, to the greatest possible extent.
OF the burden of carrying the coal tom
mage needed by Washington and its
vicinity. To accomplish this purpose
the railroad administration has arr
ranged to cooperate to the fullest ex-
tent with the companies maintaining
that as a result a substantially in
creased tonnage of coal will be carried
to Washington by the canal during the
current year"
Strike a Factor in Reaching Decision
It us understood that an important fac
tration not to take over the canal was
the strike Of the canal boatmen. 1t was
determined 1t Is said. to avoid possible
labor trouble which might follow gov
ernnent control.
The canal administration, 1t also is un-
derstood, will endeavor to make arrange
mentS with large consumers in WASH
ington to take shipments of coal into
Washington by the canal route. The
government is the largest consumer Of
coal in the capital particularly the Navy
and Treasury departments These, it is
assured, will be willing to make arrange
ments to take coal coming by canal

other counties, it is below the average,

Hearing that some effort might be
made by friends and relatives of the
two deceased men County Attorney
L. NJ. Laney recommended that Sher-
if Wilky and his deputies ascertain
whether or not there were any
weapons in the court room. A search
failed to disclose any arms.
At the conclusion of the inquest,
however, several persons, among
whom were many women, made eff
forts to get at Holmes and it was
necessary for Sheriff and Deputies
DeWinton and Nafziger to escort the
man through the crowd. He was
hurried to a waiting automobile and
rushed to this city to escape what
threatened to develop into mob
violence.
Not only is feeling between the two
families running high, but ranchers
| throughout the district have taken
sides inR the controversy. Some of
these are convinced that the double
tragedy was a deliberate Staying
while others view the killing as JUS
tifiable hOmicides.
The cOroner's jury Investigating the
double killing exonerated Holmes for
the killing of Oscar Pemberton but
returned an open verdict in the kill
! ing of William PembertOn. The
jurors declared they were in doubt
as to whether or not Holmes was
justified in killing William Pember-
ton, since he was killed after having
! been wounded, and would offer nc
! recommendation.
