Oil Competition is
Feared ByCOaI Men
OPERATORS MEET TO DECIDE
ATTITUDE TOWARD WILL
SONS TRIBUNAL.

Leading coal operators of the coun-
try were in conference today to decide
their attitude toward President Will
sons coal commission.
Bituminous mine owners claimed to
fear the award of more than the ten
tative IA per cent wage increase by
the commission will bring the price
70 soft oal so high as to ruin the
business. Competition with fuel oil is
already becoming, one operator said,
nd further increae in coal prices may
result in general falling off in use
of bituminous coal
It was understood that operators
planned to demand creation of a new
coal tribunal to replace the presis
dents three man commission. They
were reported to lean toward COM
mission similar to the Gray commits
sion appointed during the anthracite
strike of 1903, with plenary powers
for the application of constructive
measures to put the soft coal indus
try on a stable basis.

Congressman Clague

Judge Frank Clague whose home is
at Redwood Falls, but who makes his
official quarters at New Ulm has de-
cided to resign from his present posi-
ton and to enter in the scramble for
the position as representative from
this district As Judge he has done
himself great credit and though peo-
pie of his district will hate to see him
leave the bench, they will also be glad
to see the second district so ably repre-
scented in the House. Judge Clague at
one time represented Redwood county
in the legislature of this state of which
body he became the speaker in 1905.
He was later elected Senator from
Redwood and Brown counties and for a
time held the important position of
chairman of the Committee on Ap-
preparations. His resignation from
his present position will probably tax
effect either January or February /
and Governor Burnquist will be callec
upon to appoint his successor. So far
no candidate has entered the race fo
the position in the House who would
be better qualified to properly repre-
sent this part of the State than Jud
Clague Mountain Lake View.

Hospital Is FIRE
trap Says Report
OVERCROWDING AND INSANITA
RY CONDITIONS REPORTED IN
APPEAL TO GOVERNOR.

Declaring the hospital at the state
Soldiers home at Minnehaha Farm is 3
firetrap, that it is overcroWded and
that vermin YVES found in some Of the
beds occupied by the old soldiers the
state board of visitors in a report to
Governor j A. A. Burnquist urged the
immediate correction of conditions
there.
The inspection was made Dec. II BY
the board of visitors and Colonel S. III.
fowler, commandment at the home, to-
day said no means of correcting con
tions would be available until the next
session of the state legislature.
The report said several patients
suffering from senile dementia were in
basement rooms and recommended
they be transacted to hospitals for the
insane.
Conditions generally at the Soldiers
home show an improvement, the board
of visitors found, and inmates, both
veterans and widows of veterans, witt
few exceptions are contented. Meals
are excellent and the old soldiers are
taking interest to make their home
comfortable.
The veterans are getting too old to
do their own housekeeping the report
states, and the employment of young
man orderly for each cottage is recon-
mended.
Bedbugs were found in half dozen
rooms in three cottages and cock
reaches were numerous. The report
quotes one veteran as saving "The
boys buy roach powder, but the insti
tuition doesn't supply it." The board
suggests an investment in insect pow
der and mice traps. Thorough renova-
ton of Cottage 5 is recommended A
toilet room in one cottage is called
fire hazard.
The inspection was made Dec. IL b,

was filed today by j. G. Matchitt, sec
rotary.

board are true" said Commandant
Fowler today 'The hospital has beer
overcrowded for some time and other
conditions complained of exist. No ac
ton can be taken to correct these con
ditions until the legislature meets to
give Us more funds"

Police and coast guards are on duty
at the piers and the Ellis Island ferry
entrance to hold in check the crowds
which gathered at the gates daily.
immigration officials claim that
their work is delayed to large extent
on Ellis Island because of the conges-
ton, due to the detention of large
number of radicals and undesirables
held for deportation.
The greater number of the immi-
grants being detained are Italians, it
was stated. Several hundred Greek
passengers are also held.
Although the steamship Patria has
been in port five days passengers from
