THE COAL INQUIRY.

The commission appointed by the president
Ito settle the controversy raised by the demands
Iof the coal miners is hearing evidence in the
least The miners ask sixty per cent. more
wages, a six-hour day and a fve-day week
Lewis, the head Of their union, defends these
demands as reasonable Witnesses on the other
side declare that any such concessions would
bring industrial chaos on the land.
DR.. Garfield, the former fuel administrator,
takes the position that the public should not be
asked to pay more for coal, as it would have to
If the contentious Of the miners are allowed. 1t
il. impossible in his opinion to give them this
advance without melting the workers In every
Iother industry, including agriculture to dc
Imand increase of pay. The public is the chief
sufferer in all such disputes Mr.. Lewis, on the
other hand contends that no miner gets as much
as a dollar ton for the coal he sends to the sur
face; and that the increased price of coal OF late
has swollen the excessive profits OF the oper-
fators It would appear, however, that part OF
it has gone to the railroads As all the facts
are brought out, just determination of the
matter may be made.
Army officers are esigning and it Is being
alleged that resentment at not being retained
in the emergency rank to which they were pro-
lmoted in the war is largely responsible This
seems improbable. Army officers Of standing
and intelligence know we'll enough that emerg-
iencv promotions are for emergencies; that no
nation can or ever has sustained great body OF
officers when need for their services has gone.
It is far more probable that army officers are
resigning because they find other congenlal
employment that offers much better wage than
does the army. The designations from engin
eer corps are in excess of those from other
branches Of the service and this is evidence in
support of belief that commercial calls are TAX
ing army officers away from their soldering.
The soviet government Of Russia, having an
,nounced that it will discontinue shooting per
sons who oppose its policies, it is fair to pre-
sumo that the ammunition famine has set in in
the land Of Lenine.

Because the vaudeville circuit has
been changed to enable the four acts
from the Western Vaudeville Man
ayers Association of Chicago to play
Virginia after Bemidji, the regular

Grand theatre, has necessarily been
changed and beginning with tonight

The bill for tonight offers a wide
variety Of comedy, novelties and a

netic little star and her partner,
Chas. b. Sexton present their comedy

F.B. LAMSON RETURNS
TO M0BRLY TONIGHT

F. B. Lamson leaves today for
Moberly, Mo-, to resume his duties
as executive secretary Of the Chamber
of Commerce of that city. Mr.. LAM
son was much gratified to receive a
night letter from Moberly stating that
at special city election held yester-
day the water bonds were voted by
an overwhelming majority. There are
few cities in the United. States that
have had more serious water prob
lem. The Wabash railroad pays S1S,-
900 monthly to haul water for the
use of their shops and during. the
drouth Of last summer water for
domestic use was so scarce that the
travelling public could not secure a
bath at the hotel. When the Cham
Der of Commerce engaged Mr.. Lam
sons services they urged the import
ance of solving the water problem
and all the resources of the Chamber
have been devoted to the solution of
the problem. The scarcity Of the
water supply has been a standing
problem of that city for nearly twenty
years and it is the opinion of Mr..
Lamson that the Chamber of CON-
merce has presented a plan, for it's
permanent solution which was prac-
tically adopted by the citizens at their
election Thursday. Mr.. Lamson re-
CARDS the vote as an expression of
confidence on the part of the public
in the Chamber Of Commerce and an
endorsement of his services as execu-
tive secretary.

St. Paul, Aug. 27.-Julius A.

day that Governor Cox, of Ohio, was
pretty near right when he charged
that the republican campaign fund
would exceed $15,000,000. Mr..
Schmahl, who knows something Of
campaign contributions, expressed a
belief that, despite denial by ]. A.
Caswell and other leading republic
cans in Minnesota, the large fund has
been contributed to national CAM
paign. II do not believe there Is any
doubt that efforts are being made to

Of the republican nominee, nor do
believe that Cox's supporters on the
other hand are permitted to escape
without contributing heavily to the
dem ocratic fund" said Mr.. Schmahl.

With Bullet Through Head,
Man Is Discovered in Lake
I /! III Irvine This Noon
DYING MAN HAS
: NOT BEEN Identified
Laundry Mark "J.C.S." Only
Clue Found in Clothes
or On Person

Shot through the throat and bleed
ing badly, a man whose identity has
as yet not been disclosed. was found
shortly after noon in a dying condi-
ton south of the Red Lake round
house about forty feet from the
shore.
! Patroln1an Charles Arnold, who
was at the Red Lake depot about
this time, was notified by party of
men that dead man was lying on
log near the south shore Of Lake
Irvine: After ascertaining the loca-
tlon where the man was seen, he sum-
moned County Coroner Mckee and
Patrolman Mcpherson. Elmer Marin
was called also, and in his motor
truck, these men rushed to the place
where the man was found, lying with
his body across log, face downward,
feet in the water which was about
two feet deep in this place. One
shoulder hung over the log and
dropped into the water also. Although
reported dead, he was found to be
still living even though unconscious.
Entering the mans head through the
throat, the bullet passed out through
the top of his head.
Near the body at the bottom of the
lake was found an Iver-J Johnson re-
volver of .38 caliber and a box OF
ammunition. The revolver contained
only the, one empty she'll, the remain.
der IF the magazine containing load.
ed cartridges similar to those found
in the box. Although fairly well
dressed he is judged to have been
laborer.
Nothing which might lead to his
identity was found on his person or
in his clothes except the laundry
mark "J.C.S." on his shirt. A little
over dollar in small change was
found in his pockets. His clothing,
together with the revolver, cartridges
and money are being held at the po-
lice station.
From all appearances it is judged
that he had been shot about two hours
before he was taken to the hospital.
He is about thirty-five years of age
and of light complexion. It is esti-
mated that he would weigh in the
neighborhood of two hundred pounds.
After being brought to the City
building on the Marin truck, a doctor
was summoned and the man taken to
the St. Anthony hospital where every
possible medical aid was given him
in order that his life might be saved.
An attending physician at press time
stated that the man could, at best,
live only a very few minutes longer.
It is believed that he may have at
tempted suicide.
