DOUBLE EFFECT OF ECONOMY

When an American citizen In
stead of spending his dollars fol
something he wants, denies him,
self and lends the money to the
government by the purchase Of
War Savings Stamps, he per-
forms a double service.
First, he furnishes the govern.
ment with money to use in the
prosecution of the war.
Second, he has relieved the
drain on our goods and serv.
ices;;" that is, materials and Ia
Dor. To make the article or ar
ticles he would have bought, or
to manufacture others to take
their place in the market, would
require materials and labor. In
addition, to get the article to
him labor and freight space
would be required. By doing
without the article, he has left
free certain amount of material
to be used for war purposes, a
certain amount of labor to be
used in the same wa,, and he
has also relieved to a certain ex-
tent the transportation facilities
of the country.

GRAND JURY AT
 VALDEZ TO SOON
 TAKE ACTION
Will Investigate Tragedy at Kenai, Resulting in the Death of Two Old-
 Timers.
DETAILS OF THE KILLING
MagiII Who Was Killed by Coach Was Considered a Bad Man in the
 True Sense.

The Grand Jury will likely soon take action in the case of Charles Coach, for the killing of c. l.. Ma gill, the former United States Com missioner at Kenai, after the latter had killed Alexander Ryan. The principals are all well known old timers in Alaska and the tragedy has created a great deal of interest in Juneau.
 From all accounts, Magill was considered a bad man." a brutal bully and notorious gunman. Since being appointed Commissioner he practically ran the town.
 On the day of the tragedy Ryan called at the school house about 3 30 to vote at the school election and was told by Magil that he could not vote, as the polls were closed, although the official notice said the polls would remain open until 5:30. When this was called to his attention he told Ryan he was not a citizen, and Ryan called him liar. According to witnesses Ma gill drew his revolver, fired one shot into the ceiling and the other into the body of Ryan. Magill threatened to shoot those present who started to stampede from the room, unless they remained, moved the ballot box to another room, covered the body of Ryan with a sheet and proceeded with the cleo tion.
 Later every man in the placed armed himself and was for shoot ing Magill from a distance, but Charles Coach argued against mob violence and volunteered to arrest Magill He found Magill in the rear of the Dawson store where he was threatening the proprietor if the latter discussed the killing. Coach ordered him to raise his hands. He raised them to the height of his shoulders and sud denly reached for one of his guns in a holster under his left arm. Coach fired and struck him in the shoulder. Magill is said to have exclaimed: Don shoot any more, you've got me Charlie" but Coach, fearing to take any chances, since his hands were not raised, fired again, hitting him in the head. It was found that the first shot had struck him in the shoulder paralyZ- ing his right arm so that he could not raise it. There was another gun in his hip pocket. A whole arsenal was found in his room and documen- tary evidence in his personal effects which would have sent him to the penitentiary. Four women teach CTS had resigned their positions since Magill became school super intendent. On another occasion Magill, called a dirty skunk and liar" by Mrs. Chandler, knocked her down and fractured her cheek bone. He drew his revolver and threatened to clean out the entire family. All these details were ac- cording to the F witnesses who ap- peared before the coroner's jury which exonerated Coach. The lat ter, however, insisted on a Grand Jury investigation in order to be fully yindicated.

MONDAYS WILL BE

Street car service ON Mondays un-
til further notice will no doubt be
the same as on Sundays.
Although no definite action has been
taken by the Tri-City Railway COM
pany to change the time for the five
day period, it is expected that the cars
in Rock Island will start on the Sum
day schedule. starting from one-halr
to one hour later in the mornings.
During the five days that the factories
are shut, no change will be made IA.
the schedule, although the trippers
for the Moline factories will be dis
continued. This morning two cars
were run as extras and carried only
a few. All but the arsenal trippers
will be stopped until Tuesday MORN
ing. Although the cars are heat
ed with the least electricity possible
the company assures the public that
all cars will be sufficiently warm to
protect the passengers from the cold.
The reduced heat. 1t is said. amounts
10 a large saving OF coal and the
iuotormen have been advised to use
as little power as possible. After the
car has gained momentum they have
been asked to turn OF the power = and
allow 1t to coast.

Rock Island county will not get any
real, adequate relief from the coal
scarcity for the next week or 10 days.
That is the statement of Mayor Mar
tin r. Carlson, Molines member OF the
county fuel administration, who has
just returned from Chicago, where he
had an opportunity to interview rail-
road officials on the all-absorbing
question, When are We to get any
fuel" which is the slogan in hun
dreds of homes in this community.
At the meeting of the county fuel
administrator yesterday afternoon at
the Moline Commercial club. Mayor
Carlson made it perfectly clear that
the situation is extremely acute.
Coal that is now being received in
Rock Island county has been on the
road for a week or 10 days." he said

istic attitude. at has been held at

THINK ORDER MAY
Be REMOVEOSO0N
Belief in Business Circles in Rock Is.
land That Monday Closing Will
Not Be Tried Long.
HANGS ON ABILITY OF ROADS
F. W. Bender, Secretary Of Chamber
OF Commerce, Says Outlook for
Relief Is Bright.

General belief in Rock Island bust
ness circles is that the order for Mon
day closing will be rescinded within
a couple of weeks.
This statement was made today by
F. w. Bender, secretary OF the Cham
Der of Commerce, who declared that
the present fuel crisis hangs entirely
upon the ability of the railroads to
move coal.
Il find that there is a general opin-
ion in business circles in Rock Island
that relief will come in the present
coal situation at early date which
probably will mean the Monday bust
ness suspension, order will be rescind-
ed" Mr.. Bender said. There is no
question but that the entire matter
now hangs upon the ability of the
railroads to move the coal. It is
found that the steam lines are COM
ing to the front in the present crisis
to give all possible relief and l think
that within a week or 10 days coal
will be moving into the city sufficient
ly to care for our normal require
ments. If this is the case, then it is
only reasonable to EXPECT that the or
der for Monday closing will be re-
scinded.
Roads Up Against 1t.
"The railroads are up against il
more or less on account of the wealth
er. They move the coal largely at
night and as everybody knows with
the temperature of 10 below zero the

duced and the roads cannot get up

as they intend to-

CREST OF FAMINE
ISREACHEO;C0AL
ARRIVES IN CITY
Rock Island on Road to Normal Sup
ply of Fuel With Arrival Of
1850 Tons Today.
WORST OF SITUATION NOW OVER
Conditions Promise to Become Better
Gradually is Belief Of County
Administration.

Rock Island is back on the road to
normal coal supply.
With the receipt of about two thous-
and five hundred tons of coal in this
city today, considerable relief was
given. 1t was stated before the fuel
famine developed that the normal con-
sumption ofscoal in Rock Island Is
about one thousand tons day. How
ever, since the supply has been de-
pleted for the last week, the demand
now, if it was completely satisfied,
would be many more times~the normal
daily consumption.
There is little doubt but that the
situation gradually will be cleared
here and that conditions will get bet
ter every day.
H. A. Clevenstine, chairman OF the
county fuel board, today received in
structions to confiscate coal consigned
to industrial purposes for domestic
use if such a step is necessary. Pa
irons are still limited to half ton
of coal by the fuel clearing house,
which passes on all orders before de-
| liveries are made.
! Postmaster H. P. Simpson today is
sued orders to clerks in the 10 postal
stations in the city that the stores in
which the stations are situated should
follow the fuel administrations Or
ders on Monday closing, and 80 far as
the postoffice is concerned not to ask
or expect extra hours to keep open.
1t is understood that coal was con-
fscated by the county fuel board in
railroad yards yesterday to supply the
Safety building, Colonial hotel and
Rosenfield apartments, all of which
had completely run out of coal.
Delivery Makes Change
Fuel Conservation will be followed
by the Rock Island public library dur
ing the present crisis. The building
will be closed every morning and ev-
ening and will be open only from
o'clock to in the afternoon. Sun
days and Mondays the institution will
be closed during the entire day. This
schedule will be followed until fur
Their notice.
No orders have been received by the
Rock Island banks to close Mondays
but local officials are investigating
and expect to get definite word some
time today. It is the expectation Of
the bank heads to close Monday.

neither cars nor engines can be Sc

learned at my conference with Rock
Island officials in Chicago. 1t will take
a week or more before new coal can
be moved. Under these circumstances
it should be definitely and immediate

his full share toward conserving
fuel if actual suffering is to be re-
