BARE GOODRICH
AS COAL FIRMS
FORMER HEAD
Was President of CalOra Com
pany That Is Alleged to
Have Overcharged State.
RECORDS A YEARS OLD

. Exposure by the state board OF ac-
lora Coal Company and the Frankfort Ice
and Coal Company for coal supplied
state institutions, brings out the fact
that Gov. James P. Goodrich was at one
time president of the Calora company.
Reports on file in the office of the sec
retary of state for 1914 and 1915 give the
name of James P. Goodrich as president
of the company.
The report charges that the Il per
cent increase in wages of miners does
not Justify an increase of 25 cents a
ton for coal supplied to state institu-
tions. The report says that the IA per
cent in labor costs would justify an
increase of only 2215 cents per ton.
The board of accounts report recalls
the circumstances surrounding the let
ting of contracts for coal for state in
stitutions.
1t was originally announced that con
tracts for coal for state institutions had
been let to the Consumers Coal Com
pany and to the Frankfort Ice and Coal
Company. The report reveals the fact
that the Frankfort company was simply
selling to the state coal mined by the
CalOra company of which Gov. Goodrich
was formerly president
CONTRACT RETAINED
WITH FACTS IN DARK.
When the fact that a brother of Gov
Goodrich, p +. Goodrich. was a director
in the Consumers Company was pub
lished, Maurice +. Shelton, state pur-
chasing agent, announced that the con
tract would be taken from the Consum-
ers Company. The fact that the Frank
fort company was acting as an agent for
the Calora company end the fact that
Gov. Goodrich was formerly president OF
the Calora Coal Company were not re-
vealed a that time, and the Frankfort
company was permitted to retain its con-
tract.
This contract called for the supplying
of $4,000 worth Of coal to eleven state
institutions This was the same amount
as was used by the same institutions dur
'n@ the p~"vi"'s year. The contract was
let June 81. 1913.
Ar aaoui t4c same time Mr.. Shelton
made the statement that the state, by
buying coal from companies operating
mines, eliminated jobbers' profits and
therefore was able to obtain coal cheaper.
This statement was made despite the fact
that the Frankfort company was acting
as a Jobber for a mining company of
which GOV. Goodrich formerly was presi-
dent
GOVERNORS FORMER
ASSOCIATES FAVORED.
The contract, which was to have gone
to the Consumers company but which was
taken away from Il when the personnel
of this company was published was given
TO the Aetna Coal Company. The direc-
tors of the Aetna company are Martin r.
Lowish, U. G. Wiley and Herbert II.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S-Oficials of the
Great Lakes life saving station here ap-
pealed today to the naval training sta
tion to send a hydroplane to the relief
of six members of the crew of the lake
steamer Sydney o. Neff, imprisoned by
ice SIX miles off the Chicago harbor.
Two members of the crew made their
way over precarious footing afforded by
floating cakes of ice to the four-mile
crib. They reported food and fuel stocks
aboard the vessel were in no danger, but
said the ice was slowly squeezing in and
the boat might be crushed.
The vessel already has been raised

when imprisoned Monday night, they re-

Life saving officials said there was open
water near the boat where a hydroplane

to remove the members of the crew still
aboard the vessel by use of the Hydro-

they said. Two could be carried each
trip.

COnferees Succeed in Keeping
Down Senate Debate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Bi-p partisan
treaty conferees today had succeeded in
staving off for the present the calling
up of the treaty in the open senate, a
move planned by the mild reservation
lists.
BY assuring the mild reservationists
that great progress" is being made on
article ten, the conferees won a prom
ise to wait a little longer.
Senator Lodge was asked to define
"great progress" in more explicit terms
He said he was unable to do so.
Il think" said Lodge, that 1t Is going
to work out all right. I hope So"
All cOnferees echoed Lodges hopeful
statement
While the conferees were spreading
their optimism through the senate pre-
parStory to another meeting this after
noon, Senator Frellnghausen, New Jer-
sey, was threatening to bolt to the
Borah group If Lodge agrees to any
fundamental change In the Lodge reser-
vations.
Frelinghuysen said "a considerable
number" would join him In a bolt frol.
Lodge If the republican leader attempts
to commit them on anything they re-
gard as less mindful of American rights
than are the Lodge reservations.

About three years ago a boy came

who cooks the soup each day on a gas
stove. He was so weak from the want
of food that he tainted dead away.
1--WE discovered that he had had moth

Wright and myself decided that boy
can not put knowledge in his head when
his stomach is empty. That started our

Mrs. NIoler goes to market and buys
the vegetables and meat. Several Of the
boys come a little early in the morning,
peel the potatoes, the onions and the
like.
Merle, long, lanky chap, comes each
morning and volunteers to peel the
onions for teacher" and he has a fearful
time of it. Mrs. Moler prepares the soup
herself. No canned soup is served there
but home made soup having nearly 100
per cent nutrition.
At noon Merle, Sammy, Jack and a few
others wheel the steaming bowls Of

Of requirements that citizens do not
bother to take them home.
There has been a tremendous decrease
in business everywhere. The mercantile
houses, usually crowded by bargain
hunters at this time of year, are suffer
ing great losses. "One section alone in
my department store has a falling off Of
$4,000 daily in receipts" said the head
of the concern.
BUSINESS DROPS
OFF TREMENDOUSLY.
The same condition is true of nearly
all other lines of business. The theaters
are heavy losers. Even the street rail-
ways are badly affected, the lack of ad-
vertised attractions and geenral depres-
sion causing many persons to remain at
home.
The situation is astounding to the pubs
lie. They can not understand how CON
ditions can arise which permit a big city
to be deprived of it's news mediums. OPP
timists believe the dailies will get going
again by Monday or Wednesday, but the
management of the papers say they will
not start until plentiful supply Of news
print is assured.

TELLS CONGRESS
TOCUTEXPENSE
SmOot Asserts u. S. Must Be-
gin to Practice Economy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.--Leaders in
both house and senate were becoming
more insistent today in their demands
for economy and ruthless slicing of ap-
propriations.
Senator Smoot (Utah). leader in the
senate and member of the approprla-
tions committee; declared that economy
is q necessity if the government is going
to make both ends meet. In an interview
he suggested that special commission
Of technical experts be put solely at the
command of congress and directed to go
into every government department on
search for ways to economiZe.
Senator Smoot declared that revenues
for the current fiscal year are going TO
fall short of estimates. He believed they
would not exceed 1900, 100000, owing to
reduced profits of large industrial con
Germs.
1--WE have been counting on a continua-
ton Of a big excess profits return, but
business concerns are not making what
they were during the war;" Smoot said.
'Those excess profits taxes are not going
to keep up and 1 think you will see quite
drop"

barrier.
The lads are proud to aid these teach
ers in cleaning UP after lunch. Mrs.
Moler presides over the dishpan, the lads
dry the dishes and silverware until they

Then they all go out Of doors and take
some exercise which, added to the soup,
makes every lad comfy in the "tummy'
and eager to learn or do his industrial
work.

Some time ago a rich woman of Okla

The question is: Are there others so
inclined because the lads have big appe
tites and the price of potatoes is high.

A week ago today the papers in the

publication, the result Of the controversy
with Ft. Frances newsprint manufac-

ship paper here.
NEED OF NEWSPAPERS
AMPLY DEMONSTRATED.
What it means for a good sized city
to be without daily newspapers has been
amply demonstrated here. Ordinarily, all
is life and gayety in the streets of Win
nipeg at this season OF the year, but
over the city now there hangs a pail Of
dreariness.
The first effect was the depriving Of
the citizens of authentic information Of
news of the day. AS the result the wild

the city Having no circulating medium
Of intelligence the great mass Of the
population is unable to discern what and

They learned today that the Goodrich
petitions to place the governors name
on the preferential ballot are being cir
culated in the city by men employed at
81 a day for that purpose as we'll as
by men who are receiving pay from
state jobs.
They have learned that practically
every statehouse officer and department
head has been asked to circulate the pc
titions and that the long list of persons
whom Goodrich has favored by granting
paroles and pardons for their friends
have not been overlooked.
COFFIN-DODSON
GARAGE FAVORED.
An example Of how thorough is the
organization was furnished by the fact
that a large number of these petitions
was sent to a special messenger to the
garage in East Market street which is
now being operated by George V. Cof-
fin, former chief of police, and Ote Dod-
son, former sheriff of Marion county.
The petitions at this place are being
signed by callers and loafers Of the old,
Coffin Dodson machine under the di-.
rection Of the two ex-officials.
Petitions are being circulated In the
