ACTION WITHDRAWN
BY MRS. ZIMMERMAN

Mrs. w. w. Zimmerman, wife Of
Mayor Zimmerman, withdrew her suit
for divorce Wednesday. Petition for
withdrawal was filed in circuit court
and approved by Judge Bond.
Mrs. Zimmerman filed her divorce
action less than a month ago. Her
suit was based on the charge of cruel
and inhuman treatment. 1t was the
climax to domestic troubles in the
mayors household which gained con-
siderable notoriety.
Friends of the mayor and his wife
were not surprised, it is stated, over
Mrs. Zimmerman's withdrawal of her
suit, as it was generally understood
that they had effected a reconcilia-
ton following a severe injury sus-
tanned by Mayor Zimmerman at his
home of the evening of July 10.

USE INFERIOR COAL
OR SUFFER LATER;
URGE OF DEALERS

With the summer half over, coal
bins in the majority of homes in Rich
mond are empty. In former years the
prudent householder had his winter
coal on hand at this time of the year.
Many citizens are complaining that
their coal orders are being ignored by
the dealers, and they base these
charges on the fact that their orders
were given several weeks ago
months ago, In some instances.
Richmond coal dealers reply to
these charges with the statement that
the Richmond householders are de-
manding high grade of coal, such as
they have always used, that it has
been almost impossible for local deal
ers to secure such coal for some time
past, and that it will be even more
difficult to secure this coal because of
a federal priority order in favor of the
northwest.
Have Inferior Grades
Richmond householders need not
worry over their winter coal supply
if they will go on the market now and
purchase such coal as the dealers
have on hand, is the assertion made
by the coal dealers.
1t is stated by them that they are
receiving supplies of Illinois and In
diana coal. Dealers admit that this
coal is not s good as Tennessee, east
ern Kentucky and West Virginia coal,
which has been generally used in
Richmond for many years, but they
assert that the Illinois and Indiana
coal now being received here is a fair
grade. Much better than no coal at
ALL" is the way one dealer puts it.
Dealers state that If Richmond peo-
pie continue to withhold coal pur-
chases in the expectation of eventu-
ally securing the grades Of coal they
have been accustomed to use and are
now demanding, their bins in all prob
ability will be empty when winter ar
rives.
Gives Priority
The federal order relative to coal
shipments from the Tennessee, West
Virginia and eastern Kentucky fields,
gives priority to the northwest. 1t is
stated that the coal mined in these
fields, such as used for domestic pur-
poses, has now reached an almost pro-
hibitive figure.
For some weeks there has been an
average of only two or three carloads
Of such coal received weekly by each
coal dealer from these fields Illinois
coal for domestic purposes was
quoted at $11 per ton here Wednes-
day, and Indiana coal was selling at
$40 per ton. 1t was announced that
many outside purchasers were now
coming into the local market for In
diana and Illinois coal

~ BASEBALL GAMBLERS
ARRESTED AT CHICAGO PARK
Leaders of Two Major Leagues Back
Campaign to Wipe Out Betting
on Games.

Chicago May 25.-Fifty detectives
were scattered among the crowd at the
Cubs-Philadelphia ball game at Cubs
park. 1t was the opening in Chicago
OF a campaign throughout both the
American and National league base
ball clubs to wipe out gambling by
the fans.
FOrty-tWO men were yanked up by
their collars, loaded in patrol wagons
and carried to the Town Hall police
station. Their arrests were the i'm
mediate result of betting upon plays
in the game.
The betting, which for some time
has been going on openly in the
bleachers at the park, was varied.
Professional gamblers are said to
have established themselves in the
bleachers and to have done a flour
ishing "handbook" business.
For some time gambling by patrons
OF ball games, not only here but else
where, has been the subject of seri-
GUS concern By officials of the leagues.
The worlds series scandal of last
season, wherein it openly was charged
that gamblers fixed" the play for
Cincinnati to win, was considered a
heavy blow to the popularity of the
national pastime
With the opening of this season,
Boston led in the attack against the
gamblers. Numerous raids have been
made on the stands, and scores of per-
sons arrested.
Recently John Heydler, president of
the National league, and Ban B. John
son, American league head, met here
tional crusade against gambling was
outlined.
