Says Spectators
In Soft Coal Make
Exorbitant Profit
Trade Commission, How
ever, Declares Operators
Have Been Selling Out
put at a Small Margin

From The TrTbune's Washington Breou
WASHINGTON, July 31-Bitumi-
nous coal operators have been selling
coal at the mines at small profits, &C
cording 20 a report of the Federal
Trade Commission for the month Of
April. The report, however, shows that
spectators have been making exorbi-
tant profits.
The Federal Trade Commissions re-
port shows that the average sales
price at the mine for 812 operators
reporting to the commission was 1926
a ton. Although the commissions re-
port does not embrace the whole of
the bituminous coal industry, the COM
mission says at is believed that the
results shown are fairly representa-
tive of the industry"
The commissions quoted price re-
fleets the average that has existed
throughout all of the soft coal fields
during the entire period OF the coal
shortage. running up to the end Of this
month. During this time the range Of
mines has run from 1925 to 81, de-
pending upon the relative production
cost in different fields.
The commission gives the average
reported mine cost ton during April
s S2.76, leaving margin" between
the cost and the sales price at the
mine of so cents a ton. The commits
sion emphasizes the point that this
margin us not the same as profit" for
out of it must be deducted selling ex-
penses, interest on borrowed capital
and other items of expense
The report asserts that the blame
for exorbitant prices lies in the ac-
tivity of a cotere of spectators who
have taken advantage of an upset
market

Dentist Sued
For 100000 in
Woman sDeatl,
Brooklyn Man Charges DIR.
Crossman Allowed Tooth
to Fall Into Wife's Lung
During Office Extraction
LObar Pneumonia Fatal
Plaintiff Asserts Operation
Might Have Saved Life if
They Had Known Cause

The charge that a tooth was allowed
to fall into the lung of Mrs. Cora
Minis, resulting in her DEATH is the
basis of two suits for damages brought
by George r. Minis against DR.. Victor
W. Crossman, q dentist, of 1876 Fort
Greene Place, Brooklyn.
Mr.. Minis has sued in the first ac-
ton for $4,000, for "the loss of the
services of his wife" and in the sec
ond action for $4,000, as administra-
tor of his wife's estate. The papers
which were drawn by Denis r. O'Brien,
attorney, charge that Mrs. Minis went
to DR.. Cheeseman's Office to have ten
teeth extracted, that the dentist al
lowed one of the teeth to fall into her
left ung, and that he kept her under
an anaesthetic for forty-fve minutes,
but did not tell her when she regained
consciousness that one of the teeth had
fallen down her windpipe Had she
been so informed. the complaint all
leges, her lie might have been saved
by an operation known as tracheotomy
Autopsy Reveals Foreign Body
Following her visit to the dentist. it
is further claimed, Mrs. MINIS was
greatly troubled with violent fits of
coughing, difficulty in breathing, and
inability to sleep. A doctor diagnosed
her trouble as pneumonia, and She was
sent to the Brooklyn Hospital, where
she died after three days An AUTOPSY
was performed by DR.. J. M. Van Colt
and Dr. Charles Gibbs. The result. ac-
cordlng to the attorney, as found in
the death certificate furnished by them
TO the medical examiner, was that "the
chief and determining cause of her
death was lobai PNEUMONIA Pulmonary
gangrene, left origin foreign body
(tooth) in bronchus."
The hospital record furnished Mr.
Minis made no mention OF tne ~ror-
eign body (tooth) in bronchus" When
he called the attention of the surgeon
to this commission, he admitted, it is
said, that there was a foreign bodv
there. but that it might have been a
peanut"
Looked Like Tooth
Mr. O'Brien asserts that he and Mr..
Minis then visited the hospital labora-
tory and examined the foreign body. -
at looked like tooth to Mr.. Minis
and to me, and the physician finally
said that he thought it was a tooth" he
said.
The papers in the two cases were
served on DR.. Crossman last week.

will be given a chance to go to school and acquire a great education
 I have given you my ideas of why want a home for the homeless children. Now l will try to describe the nome l would like for them, to the best of my ability. I want it in the country where we can have plenty of fresh air, soove all, I want my little homeless girls and boys to be healthy I want big house of three stories, with halls porches, with plenty of clean well aired rooms. l want a big room where the boys will be taught the different trades they could do and q great kitchen where the girls can learn to cook and other different domestic subjects. 1 want the house to be painted a very pale green inside. The outside must be painted in white giving the idea or cleanliness and purity. There must be a green field of grass around the house. with all kinds of trees and flowers, for I want each separate child to have a garden of his own A big fountain must be in the center of a row of trees with gold fishes and wa ter lilies in it. Then there must Dc the play grounds where the children will have physical training and drill. and where they will indulge in all kinds of athletic games. Then I waPt to have lots of cows and chickens and horses and other animals. In one word want to make the home give the inn pression that it is part city home and part a country home.
 Of course when | start my home, do not expect to fill it up with children right away, but I expect to add q number each year and if the house Is too little, we can make it bigger. You can see now why l want to be rich, for in putting my plan into practice, I would need a great deal of money. But I sincerely hope I will have help from other people.
 If I were so fortunate as to put this little plan in practice, I would have to see if I was qualified for the posi- tion. First of all I myself must have i a good college education, .z second must train myself to love these child ren and to have patience with them. must learn not to lose my temper or treat them unkindly, because when send them out into the world to work for their living, I want them to remera- Der the home they left behind, where
 an unkind word or look was never heard or seen. Then last of all I must
 understand my work thoroughly and love it as well. To acquire all this.
 must start now to train myself for this position.
 I want to abolish this child destruc-
 ton that is going on in the slums oi the big cities. Why even today you
 can not find a child in those dirty slums, but that smokes and swears anC
 maybe drinks. You very seldom car | find an orphan child who is sweet an6 clean from the facts I mention above | That is why I want to help them an6 l be as a real mother as if they haC i their own mother. I want to start then
 in the right way and to give them {

We are to visit a French boarding school tomorrow. I suppose you've heard of how much interest the French take in the welfare of the Syrians. They have schools established in the big cities and nearly all worth while education is given by them. The peo- pie here don't believe m sending their children to school very long, but l be- lieve they are quickly changing their minds. My syrian uncle gasped when I told him I had been going to school for eight years. He doesn't know I'll have to go five more before I'll be what they call a senior.

and poor treatment The poor little ones are left without a home and no place to go. They probably make the street their home and run hither and thither with bad company, maybe older girls and boys who lead them into mischief. Thus they keep on, with no mother to advise them, no kind fathers hand to detain them from the downward path. Then as they grow older and go down into the path of vices. respectable people wonder why parents do not bring up their children in a more respectable way. They com ment, they scorn, they laugh at these poor children, but do nothing to help them.
 Now my greatest ambition has been to help these homeless children, to give them a home and to give them above all a good education.
 Of course I do not mean to do this alone. I mean to just start this home and then use my influence with other people Perhaps the same people that laughed, and scorned, and commented at those poor unadviSed children will help. But I am sure of one great help CT that will stand by me. He is the helper of all the poor, the helper that will stand by me, when I am ready to put this little ambition of mine into practice. That helper is God, the Father of every little child. Believ- ing in Him and knowing that He is behind me helping, I feel quite sure will win in the end.
 Perhaps if somebody had been kind enough to take him in his home, he would be a very nice gentleman now Perhaps if some father had taken hin and had been good to him, today he would not regret it, because he would have been amply repaid for the kind ness he would have done.
 There are many ways of bringing these little children up. According tC my ideas, punishment for their wrongs is just fooIishness, and any person tha- punishes any little girl or boy needs himself to be punished. A kind wort or look will bring better results iron a child, than angry words or slaps. Sc in my estimation l propose to make this home a very sweet and peaceful one. I do not say there are no othel homes, they have been here long be fore I was born, years and years ago but still there are today little childreI running around without any homes My idea is to establish a home wher, the children can come and be takel care of as if their mother were alive A home where they will find ever, comfort, every desire their little hun gry hearts wish. A home where the

 I certainly did enjoy our trip across the Mediterranean sea. The weather was grand, and there were so many strange people to stare at
 I was rather glad to arrive in Beruit as at least three-fourths of the popu- lation can speak Syrian and I can more easily voice my formerly i'm prisoned thoughts
 I suppose I have told you before that I have two girl cousins here whose father is one of the leading men in Syria. Well, we met him here and I know that if those two cousins of mine look at me with such critical eyes as he did I'll be wishing l was back at normal taking a fifty problem algebra test.

My Greatest Ambition

Ever since I can remember I have wanted to be a very rich girl. l guess you will laugh when you hear this, but when I explain to you why I want to be rich and what I want to do with the money, I know you will agree with me. I do not mean I want to have

a hard working woman, but she hae one fault, and that was to drink. His father was a loafer and a drunkard, who spent half his time in prison, and the other half loafing. The little boy began to swear and smoke and began to be so mean and dirty, that l re- member that the little girls and boys of the town, Is being one of the little girls) did not want to play or have anything to do with him. Our parents had told us to stay away from him. In the course of time, the mother died
 from lack of good treatment and good
 nourishment. About three weeks later
 the father was killed in a quarrel at a
 saloon In the meantime, who was
 going to take charge of that boy? I
 remember quite well that nobody wouli
 would have him. It all seemed so queer
 to me, that I went home that day and
 asked my mother why nobody would
 take the poor little orphan boy and
 mother answered, You are too young to understand. So that boy kept on in his wicked ways and at the present time he is in a reform school My mother said at that time I was to young to understand, but I do under stand now that I am older Perhaps the fate of that poor boy put the idea into my head of making a home foI such children.

 Dear Stella:
 We'll, here we arei Arrived in Beruit yesterday and tomorrow we be- gin our journey to mothers former home.
 I would certainly like to tell you every detail of our journey, but that would keep me writing for hours: therefore you must wait until I get back in old Arizona, and be satisfied with a short account now.
 When we mounted our steamer at New Orleans for Havana our journey had really begun.
 Oh! those Cubansi When I saw those enormous straw hats and colored shawls generously displayed I could not help wishing I was home. We stayed there only a few days, and then began the long trip across the Atlantic
 It was tiresome yet interesting When we landed at Havre, the north ern port of France, it certainly felt good to be on land again. Knowing how to speak three languages is not much of an advantage, when one goes travelling. Luckily, however, mother spoke French, and our stay in France progressed much better than it would have otherwise. I enjoyed staying in Paris the most. After getting a glance at the beautiful clothes worn there, l understand why it is called the fashion center. I suppose you want to know if the French girls are as beautiful as they are reputed to be. I suppose the American boy was afraid to write home that the French girls are beauti- 1 ful. but just like Americans, some are 1 beautiful and some are not. 1 We naturally made a generous col ! lection of souvenirs.

TWO COUNTY DIVISION
PROPOSITIONS IN MEADE

In the old days of the territory
and early statehood, spot in the
northwest part of the state was
designated as Delano County, but
when the cattle interests of the
state asked for consolidation of a
lot of counties in the sparsely set
tied sections of the state, Delano
vanished along with Scobey, Lug
enbeel and several theirs which had
names on the map at that time. 1t
is now proposed to revive Delano
county in the same territory which
at one time went by that name by
