MARKET NOW
ALMOST WIDE OPEN
RESTRICTIONS ARE REMOVED
FROM SHIPMENT OF AN
THRACIE

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25. -
The coal market for all but stove
and not sizes is now wide open and
anthracite may be shipped all over
the country.
Coal conservation campaigns, the
armistice and the continued mild
weather have greatly amelioratcd
the fuel situation. AS a result,
the anthracite committee of the
United States fuel administration
now permits hard coal users all
over the country to obtain witho 1T
restriction all sizes, except stove
and nut, even in the states barred
since last May to hard coal.
Officials say the buying of brok-
en- egg, pea and buckwheat by the
householder will do much toward
bringing back the coal demand
for these sizes to pre-war condi-
lions.

RUSS MASTERS OF ANARCHISTIC PROPAGANDA
SEE ONLY HOPE IN WORLDWIDE REVOLUTION

Bolshevists are masters in revolu-
tionary propaganda and at the
head of this institution is an Aus
trian named Radek, who in Mos
COW founded an international fed
Grafton with members from the
people of several nations.
Organization and production
are impossible in Russia because
Russian workmen have no sense
of fellowship. 1t is impossible for
the Russian government to cor
ganize industry and trade accord
ing to communistic principles as
long as other states have not ac-
cepted like principles of govern
ment. Until now Russia has main
tanned life on pre-war stores, but
this soon will be exhausted. The
Russian foreign minister once
said that the soviet republic was
a foreign substance in Europe"
M. de Scavenius said he did not
believe conditions in Russia would
be altered without foreign inter-
vention, and he added that in HIS
opinion immediate Intervention
would OF meet with any consider
able resistance.

shevik leaders rejoiced in its prog
ress but were disappointed in the
fact that the German administra-
ton remained in the hands of the
social democrats.
''They emphasized" said the
Danish diplomat, "that Germany
was only in her February revolU-
tion,' her Kerensky revolution, and
they predicted that she soon would
have her October revolution and
more speedily than was the Isl
in Russia.
1.-The only cloud upon the sky
of their hopes is the position of
the entente. They say that if the
entente will do as Germany did
and occupy the Baltic provinces
and the Ukraine there is nothing
to fear because in that a they
would be able in a few months to
revolutionize the French and Brit
ish troops as they claim they al
ready had revolutionized the Ger
man troops.
Their only alarm vas lest the
entente should occupy Petrograd
and Moscow, because they knew
their only weapon was propaganda.

HAWAIIAN BEQUEATHS HALF
MILLION AFTER U. s. 80
ENTERS WAR

HONOLULU, T. H., Jan. 25:-H.
Wilhelm VOTERS, who came to Ha-
wall nearly 40 years ago from
Bremen, Germany, as a poor
clerk and accumulated a fortune
of almost a half million dollars,
made a will four months after the
United States had entered the war
against Germany b~equeathing al
most all of his estate to Bremen,
Germany.
Wolters died recently and his
will has just been made public.
Under it's terms the estate, valued
at $455,00O, is to be held in trust
for 10 years, during which certain
annuties are to be paid two broth
crs and other relatives and, after
a few minor requests are paid, the
residue is to go to Bremen FOR
charitable, educational, scientific
and other purposes.
Richard H. Trent, representative
in Hawaii for Custodian of Enc
my Alien Property Palmer, is of
the opinion, however, that VOTERS
wealth may never go to Bremen.
Trent is placing the ase before
the authorities at Washington.
VOTERS for many years had been
a n~aturalized American citizen. He
was a heavy owner in the old H.
Hackfeld, Ltd, a concern which
was recently Americanized under
the American Factors, Ltd. This
concern made a score of expatriat-
ed Germans wealthy.

Wednesday evening". by, hanging
himself in a patch of timber. Mr..
Crees had been working with some
other men, and they started for
home. He was riding a pony, and
after going short distance with
the men, said he guessed he would

He H rode to the timber, took the
bride from the horse and used it
to hang himself to a tree just over
the edge of a bank of a creek. Some
time afterwards the horse returned
home without bride and relatives
went to look for him, and found him
dead. The deceased was a young

was found in his pockets, but this
was mistake, as he had less than
