NANTUCKET ISLANDERS
 SUFFERING FOR COAL
Wood Can Not Be Had Either, and Kerosene Sup
 ply is Running Low.

Nantucket, Mass, March 2.-Nan- tucket having burned the scrapings of its bins, is almost without coal Families are suffering for lack of fuel, with no wood available on the island and the kerosene supply near ly exhausted. The bins of summer residents were called on to eke out scanty stocks, but the supplies there were small and have now run out Light, water and power, however, are assured for several weeks.
 The storm conditions of the winter and the presence of ice are responsi- ble for the shortage. The islands winter supply of coal is scattered through small fleet of schooners, which have been bound here since early winter and were due to arrive in December. Instead, they sought shelter at various ports where they remain weather bound or icebound. One of these vessels. the 40 ton schooner Ada Shull, is now at New Bedford, awaiting an opportunity to slip through the ice with it's small cargo if an opening can be broken out.
 When the islands reserve was ex- hausted, the coal bins of summer cot tages became the only resort Breck-
 
 state, sent word from Washington making his supply available and other summer residents took similar action. The local agents of other cottaSers authorized requisition of their supplies.
 The island grows no wood and has had in the ISast few weeks only driftwood, which iS scarCer than usual because of ice on the shore.
 The steamer Sankaty which bucked the ice outside the harbor for hours today in an effort to get clear on an attempted trip to New Bedford, has brought only small stock of coal on it's few trips of the winter. This supply has served to keep the post office and banks reasonably warm. The telephone office, however has been unheated and operators have worked in wraps.

Washington, March 2.--The re- publican peace treaty reservation de- claring the right of the United States to decide all domestic ques- tions under the league of nations was re-adOpted by the senate today by a vote of 56 to 25 after repeated efforts by the democrats to pass amend nentS had failed

 Before the final roll call there was a long Wrangle over the question whether commerce should be included among the subjects specifically enumera ted in the resolution as eX- cluded from the leagues jurisdiction. Declaring inclusion of this word as it stands in the republican draft would mean a declaration that foreign as well domestic commerce could not be dealt with by the league Senator Fletcher, democrat, Florida, moved to strike it out but he was voted down 4 to 34. .-
 lniI, division also Was along party lines except for Senators Reed and Shields, who voted with the repub- licanS.
 A warning that the Fletcher amend ment was a part of a plan to defeat the reservation entirely was given by Senator Lenroot, republican, Wiscon- sin. who said Senator Hitchcock hoped, after securing such a modifi- cation to get a majority with the help of the irreconcilables on this side of the aisle" against any reservations at all.
 A substitute also was offered by Senator King. democrat. Utah, and was defeated without a roll call.
