they were wanted. as Lofts was
dead. Her mother turned them over

Cumulative evidence gathered

causing him to fall. The broken
neck of the bottle. with the cork IN

oble shattered glass and the re

This theory exonerates Roy NJ

STOCKS OF COAL
NOW LOWEST IN
LAST four YEARS
Survey lust Completed Shows
Only 20;O0o,00O Tons
Supply IN Hands of
Consumers.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, Aug. 1.-Stocks Of
coal held by the railroads, industrial
consumers, public utilities and re-
tail dealers are less than at any time
during the last four years, accord
ing to canvass just completed by
the geological survey. The esti-
mates madeIby the survey show to-
tai stocks held by consumers
amounting only to 100000 tons
On June /, or only about half the
amount on hand in the spring of
1919 and the early summer of 1918.
In the three months from March
l to June l stocks decreased 4.000,-
900 tons, or II per cent. In April,
1919, the stocks amounted to 40,000,-
600 tons, while on July 5, 1918, the
total was 100000 tons. On the
date of the signing of the arn1istice,
in November, 90, stocks totalled
63,000.000 tons, the largest total on
record.
A constant increase in the ex-
ports of coal is shown in the weekly
figures of the geological survey.
Dumpings of bituminous coal at
tidewater during the week ended
July "a totalled 25,690 cars. This
included all coal dumped at the
ports of Charleston, Hampton
Roads, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York, whether destined for
New England or other coastwise
and local use, for bunker or for ex-
port.
The National Coal association de-
clared that more than 80 per cent
of the bituminous coal of the coun-
try has been moved from the mines
at low prices. y
"One factor that has worked to
the advantage of coal manipulators
has been the practice of the recon-
signment of carloads OF coal, for
which the railroads are RESPONSE
BILE" says the statement. Under
this practice, carloads of coal OBJ
tanned by spectators at low price
have been started out to an original
consignee, later on the speculator,
in the meantime having obtained
better price elsewhere, causing the
shipment to be re<onsigned to an
other destination. In many in
stances cars of coal in this way
have been reconsigned two or three
times, with a higher price tackled
on at each point.
Although the spectators have
been able to obtain only relative
ly small proportion of the coal out
put, the effect of their activity has
been to further disrupt situation
that for months has affected the
nations coal output. With an un-
precedented demand for coal every
where, many bidders have been
willing to pay whatever price was
necessary in the open market so
as to get coal.
with the priority orders of the
Interstate Commerce commission
now stimulating the movement OF
coal to the Great Lakes and to New
England, the bituminous coal op-
orators believe that the coal short.
