That the coal docks in the vicinity
Of this city and those in the Now York
district viii be practically idle within
the next week was the report received
yesterday from the officials at the
Pennsylvania railroad docks in South
Amboy. All shipments of tide water
coal in this district will be reduced
70 less than half the present output
This curtailment of coal shipping
is due to the fact that coal being
mined for two days will be sent TO
the west and Canada where people
and large manufacturing concerns arc
suffering for want of fuel.
At the present time. according to
officials at the Pennsylvania dock,
whore from 900 to $50 cars of soft
coal arc dumped into bargos and
shipped away each day, there are
about 500 cars Of soft coal being
handled daily in the New York dis
trict. The district includes all coal
shipping points between this city and
New York city. The lack OF coal from
the mines Cor a two-day period means
that more. than half of the 1900 cars
viii not be received in the district
and shipping will be almost at stand
still.
The strike of the miners up to this
time, has not affected the operation
of shipping Oh the docks in this VI
cinity to any great extent. The only
timaduring the strike that coal ship
iping has been held up was during the
short period The administration stop
ped the shipping of all soft coal, so
that a supply could be maintained for
the firing of locomotives and trains
kept running.
The main reason that the strike has
not been felt to any great extent by
the coal shipping docks here is due to
the fact that almost all the coal re-
ceived here comes from nom union
mines, which have not been affected
by the striking coal workers.
1t is estimated that from coo to $50
cars of soft coal were shipped from
local docks yesterday, namely the
Pennsylvania railroad dock at South
Amboy and the Reading dock at Port
Reading. As the strike does not af-
feet the hard coal mines the usual
shipments of this fuel are being
made at tho Lehigh Valley docks

TESTIMONY
Young Mrs. Ryerson, Jry Says
This Move Was Made to Keep
Big Estate From Her at New
Brunswick
BY staff Correspondent.

BY StQH Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK. Nov. 1.-The
latest development in the probe of the
death of Theodore Ryerson. Jr., here
on May 4 last, is a statement by the
dead mans widow that information
has reached nae that $1,000 has been
offered to q certain person to testify
against me-" The young wife of the
dead man has attributed this latest
development to efforts on the part of
others TO keep the estate of her hus-
band from her.
In spite of the fact that Mrs. Ry-
erson claims to have received infor-
nation limited to witness being
bribed to testify against her, She
stated in an interview that she felt
she would be treated justly and that
she has no fear of the result of the
analysis which is now beng made on
the VITAL organs of the deceased
which were removed following the ex-
humation of the body on Wednesday.
Mr. Ryerson, father of the dead
man, who was the cause of the in
vestigation being made, said: II have
never made the direct charge that
the woman who married my boy
poisoned him. / do insist, however,
that his death was not natural and
could have been prevented If she had
called DIR. Rice, who lives next door
to her home" Anonymous letters re-
ceived by him in July, Mr. Ryerson
said. informed him that his son had
been killed by poison in whiskey."
Mrs Ryerson had planned to leave
last Friday for California but decided
to remain in New Brunswick when
she heard that the body of her hus-
band was to be disinterred for an au-
topsy. She welcomes the inquiry, she
SAYS as the numerous nasty rumors
which have been prevalent since her
husbands death have been disagree
able to her.
The father of Ryerson points out
the fact that DR.. e. w. Hults, the
doctor who was called on the night
his son died, never signed certiti-
cate of death. The father also
charged Undertaken w. II. Quacken-
boss with violating the law In bury
ing the body without DR.. Hults's GER
tificate.
According to Mr.. Ryerson his son
married in 1910 Mrs. Helen M. Wal
ters. a widow, who lived in Chicago,
whom he had met while travelling. A
breach of promise suit in the supreme
court in which Mrs Waters received
a verdict of $4,000 against young
Ryerson was responsible for the mar
riage. They never lived together ard
the woman received divorce in IN
nois. giving desertion as her grounds.
Miss Ora Starr of Cambridge, Mass.
became the bride of Theodore Ryer-
son about six years ago. he having
met her in New York, where she
owned a millinery store at Broadway
and Hath street.
