Mr. Hedley's fear that the subways
may be tied up, however. is not shared
by Paul Bonynge, counsel for the boat
owners. He said there is no danger of
a shutdown. because the Inter thorough is
supplied with 1900 tons of coal daily
by Capt. Frederick A. Russell, who has
Just resigned his commission in the
United States Navy to resume the pres-
dency of the Newtown Creek Towing
Company. Said Mr. Bonynge:
when the harbor strike came up
Capt Russell got one of his shore duty
men, Capt. Stlfwagon, to take command
of the tug Convoy. while Capt Russell
himself took comma nd of the tug Hero.
With volunteer crews these two captains

moving to the marlborough power
houses, and there Is no reason for the
travelling public TO be alarmed lest

Officials in Washington have known

Dor strike, but not until yesterday was
there an atmosphere of activity toward
a speedy settlement. The coal opera
tors of New York have notified the
Shipping Board that transatlantic liners
have been prevented from sailing, that
industries have run short of coal and
that public utilities see the possibility
of a shutdown because union marine
workers refuse to handle the coal barges
of private owners.

'Second-The unions unwilingness to

ANY strike where the interests Of
the employers and the employees are
submerged alike to the selfish interests

Jacques. One OF these was at the base
OF the skull and the other on the right
side at the front, The fracture at tho
base of the skull was about four inches
long and appeared to DR.. Jacques to
have been made with hammer
'"rhe autopsy to-day WAS made to OBJ
tain a more complete description of the

wilkins was operated upon at the army
hospital by two army surgeons no Coro-

viewed the body afterward. II seemed
desirable at this time to obtain a full
description OF the wounds, hence the
autopsy to-day.
