GIRL is HELD BY POLICE
Witness to Sudden Death in the Mans
Apartment Claims That He
Fell After Friendly
Tussle."

Chicago-Police are working on two
theories In connection with the death
OF Samuel T. A. Lofts, wealthy dia-
mond merchant, found dead in his
apartment with Miss Ruth Woods, a
hotel bookkeeper. who first declared
the millionaire had suddenly fallen
dead after she had called for help
when he insulted her, "but later ad
mitted that his death came after a
friendly tusssl with her."
One theory was that a cerebral
hemorrhage, which the coroner's ply
stefan declared caused Mr.. Lofts
death, was the result Of fall, pos
sibly accidental. The other was that
Lofts had been lift over the head with
a broken whiskey bottle found near
his pajama-clad figure.
The amazing amours Of A. Lofts
were being unfolded by the police and
coroners officials.
Fifty different girls were enter
tanned In his apartment since last
January" Miss Hulda Johnson, his
housekeeper, told authorities.
THE girls he took there he usually
picked up either at the Edgewater
Beach hotel or the Green Mill gardens.
When he was sober, he was calm and
quiet; but he was seldom sober. When
he was drunk he would attack the
girls he brought there. slept In a
room at the rear and many times
have been awakened by shouts,
screams and curses at 3 or 4 o'clock
in the morning.
"At times, when intoxicated, he
would try to attack me and twice l
had to call the police"
Miss Woods and Shayne, millionaire,
were still held as witnesses.
According to the police, the girl was
still too greatly affected by fright
and intoxicants to tell a connected
story.
An autopsy established that Lofts
died from a cerebral hemorrhage re-
sulting from external violence" At
the same time Coroner Hoffman ex-
pressed the belief that the bruises on
Lofts head indicated they were re-
ceived in a fall rather than from a
blow. Both the coroner and the po-
lice, however, intimatsd they felt
Shayne and Miss Woods were hold
ing something back" and declared
their intention of continuing their in
vestigation and inquest until every
detail of the jewelers. mysterious
death was cleared up.

POSSE KILLS TWO NEGROES
One Negro 10 Killed When He At
tempted to Snatch Gun from
Member of Posse.

Dothan, Ala.-Excitemen is running
high at Midland City, near here, where
the wife of a prominent farmer was
attacked by negroes. Stills Sprinks
and Juster Jennings, both negroes,
were killed by members of posse who
rounded up all the negroes on the
Dasinger place in trying to locate the
guilty ones.
Stills Spinks was killed, It was said
when he attempted to snatch gun
from member of the posse and shoot.
Jennings was reported to have been
killed later in the night. Andy Spinks,
father of Stills Spinks. is in Jail at
Montgomery charged with making an
attack on Mrs. DGsinger some months
ago, and 1t is the belief of Midland
City that an attempt was made to kill
her to prevent her testifying against
him when he Is tried.

SOFT COAL At sI8A
TON IN BALTIMORE
BUT THE COST OF PRODUCTION is
SAID TO BE LESS THAN
FIVE DOLLARS.
SPECULATION is BLAMED
w. C. Andrews Makes charae-Em
barge on Export Coal Proposed as
Remedy-Thls Relief Is Said
to Be Remote.

Baltimore, Md.-Soft coal Of the best
grade, although it costs less than SIS
to produce, is selling in Baltimore
shipping circles at SIS per ton.
This surprising situation exists in
the face of increased production and
better car supply.
1t exists in the face Of the unprece-
dented congestion of coal both at the
Curtis Bay export piers and the Lo-
Gust Point bunkering and coastwise
piers.
Two thousand, one hundred and
ninety cars of coal were at the Curtis
Bay piers and 1900 additional cars are
en- route to Baltimore, necessitating
special steps ON the part Of the Bal.
timore & Ohio Railroad to clear the
congestion.
Sixty ships in the harbor are await
ing coal to carry to foreign ports.
That speculative element" Is re-
sponsible for the chaotic coal situa-
ton is the opinion expressed by w. y.
Andrews OF the Consolidated Coal
Company, the home offices of which
are located in Baltimore. In support
Of his statement Mr.. Andrews said
that of the 2,190 cars at Curtis Bay
which the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
is making special effort to get unload
ed, less than 200 we're for non-affiliated
consignees OF the Coal Exchange.
While an embargo on export coal is
generally conceded to be remedy for
the situation, the possibility Of such
an order being issued is remote, 1t Is
said, due to the fact that the State
Department has let 1t be known that
our obligations to foreign govern
ments make it necessary to keep the
channel of foreign shipments free
from such an obstruction.

The Polish armistice commissioners

is Warsaw. The wireless reports de-
clared that the Russians had taken
Brest.Litovsk and were within As miles
of Warsaw. They were continuing
their advance.
The British government officials
were of the opinion that the refusal
OF the Russians to talk to the Poles
was merely an excuse to delay the
date of the armistice to give them the
