VON KJ!EHLMANN'S WOE
SPEECH IS HIS J[NDOLNC
BIG CANDY COMPANY
CAN GET NO SU CA R
NEW CONCERN AT CAPITAL
CANNOT GET POUND OF
"SWEETENING."

Oklahoma City, June 2S. - The
Stifers Candy Company, a 100000
corporation, which almost has com
pleted the construction of modern
factory at Twelfth street and Santa
Fe avenue which represents an in
vestment of more than 100000, has
been advised by II. Josey, assistant
state food administrator, in charge
of the distribution Of sugar, that the
administration has no authority to
issue the company certificates for
the purchase of sugar.
Mr.. osey yesterday advised the
company heads that they have the
right to appeal from the decision OF
the Oklahoma administration to the
authorities at Washington. He sent
them copy OF paragraph 80 of "Ra-
tioning of Manufacturers Using
Sugar" which was received this
week from the administration at
Washington and which governs the
issuance of certificates to new firms |
The paragraph follows
Based on Use of Sugar.
Concerns listed on statement A
starting in business after April
1918, are not entitled to receive any
sugar, and no allowance or consid-
ton will be given under any circum
stances to concerns who contract
ed for new machinery or the cree
tion of a plant before that date ant
did not actually use sugar in thei
operations before this time. Tn
whole basis of the allotment
sugar is the use OF sugar and it is !
mere statement of how much suga
was used during a certain period o,
which sugar is allotted. We hav
made no deviation from this rule.
The Sifers company was organ
lied under the laws of Oklahom;
an. l8, 1917, and within thirty day
after the organization approximate
Iy $l500OO had been paid into tn
by persons who bough
stock. The site at Twelfth stree
and Santa Fe avenue was pur
chased and large part of the build
ing materials were on the grount
before war was declared The con
.ract for the building was awarded
early in the summer of 1917, AMI
he company expected to oclipy
he building and be actually en-
gagged in the manufacturing of
candy by Nov. |. 1917.
Quarries Delayed Building.
According to the company's state I
nent sent to the administration last ,
week, soon after the war was de- .
Jared the quarries from which they
lad contracted for stone were I
by the government. q
This delayed construction from
light to ten months. The building t

Paris, June 2S.-The court mar
tial at Darmstadt, Germany, has re-
ceived a telegram signed "Tchit-
chern," announcing that Nicholas
Romanoff, the former Russian EN-
peror, has been assassinated, says a
dispatch to The Matin from Berne
The assassination took place be-
tween Ekaterinburg and Perm.
The dispatch from Berne gives
weight to the increasing number Of
reports of assassination of the for
mer Russian emperor. Darmstadt
is the capital of the grand duchy OF
Hesse, and the former Empress
Alix is sister of the reigning grand
duke. 1t is not unlikely that the
Russian government, through For
eign Minister Tchitcherin, would
inform the Hesse court of the death
OF Nicholas Romanoff before max
ing it public through regular chan
nels.
Berlin had reported recently that
the former emperor was being re-
moved from Ekaterinburg to Mos
COW. Perm is on the northern rail-
road route fom Ekaterinburg to
Moscow. Czcho-Slovak troops con-
troll the southern route, and it is
probable that if the bolsheviki did
take the former emperor from Elk
aterinburg they took him by the
railway running through Perm.
The former Russian empress was
last reported as being in Ekaterin-
burg with her husband and daugh-
ter.

the situation Moline children are fac

COAL DELIVERED
IN SACKS IN CITY
Panic Is iyerted In East Moline
Through Heroic EffOrts-50O
Pounds the Limit.

Heroes-grimy- faced and roughly
dressed, but heroes nevertheless
worked desperately all day Saturday
under conditions Of the most trying
nature, to relieve suffering and re-
move the possibility of suffering in
East Moline because Of any lack of
fuel. There was but one available
stock of coal in the city, that of the
East Moline lumber yards, but all day
the employees of that company and Is
extra men impressed into service for
the day, battled with the elements to
deliver coal to families which were
entirely out of fuel.
Seven teams were kept on the go all
day long. More heroic service could
not have been performed. The men
at first were disposed to quit the job
and some had their teams embarrassed
and in the barns. They were called
to the managers office and the situa-
ton was presented to them They
were told of the suffering which would
certainly result if coal was not deliy-
cred. They were told of the distress
beginning to exist in many house
holds. And to a man the laborers
promised to do their best, buttoned
up their coats again and turned to the
task Of hauling fuel.
One Of the men came back from one
trip with frozen nose. tits a shame
for a man to abuse himself in this
way" he said, "but I've done my bit
today. There's lot of fellows in the
trenches fighting for me. I've kept 1875
people from suffering today, and I'm
only one, SO this frozen nose isn't so
bad after ALL"
So severe was the weather that it
| brought intense suffering for the
horses used in hauling coal One ami
NAL was seriously injured. In a short
haul against the wind the horses nose
became frozen, and two big veins in
the nostrils froZe and bursted Ser
vices of veterinary surgeon were re-
quired to prevent the horse from
bleeding to death.
Coal is being distributed in lots of
500 pounds only, and in sacks. Side
walk delivery is the rule No coal
goes to customer who has any on
hand. House. to house canvass made
by welfare agents Saturday revealed
that there were practically no cases
of suffering because of lack of fuel,
due to the effective work done Sat
urday.
Distribution was kept up yesterday,
and more than twenty-five more fam
lilies were supplied by the lumber
yards. Seyenty-two families were sup
piled Saturday afternoon and evening.
c. E. Mitchell of the lumber yards
said today that he expects to be able
to continue the delivery Of coal in
sacks without a break. He spoke in
the highest FERNS of the loyalty of
the men. and of the heroic manner in
which they fought the elements and
got the coal delivered.
