Twelve men were detailed TO ap-
proach the door. Six entered. Sheriff
John Boyes. appointed after the death
of Sheriff Petray, was in his private
office at the right, with four deputies
The six intruders were armed and they
made Boyes and his deputies put up
their hands. The officers were dis
armed and the keys to the jail taken.
Boyes pleaded with them but the
men said not a word. While some of
the men inside the Jail guarded the
officers, Others went Immediately to
Boyd's cell.
Three steel doors had to be un-
locked to take him out He was on
the ground floor. Upstairs Fits and
Valento were in cells. The mob lieu
tenants went through two steel doors
and took them too.
There had been no confusion, no
hurry and no opposition. Even the
nooses were tied with the expert hang,
mans knot.

PROPOSE TO SHIP COAL
THROUGH WATER PIPES

New York, Dec. l0.-A project
to bring coal from the anthra-
cite regions in Pennsylvania to
this city through two l4-inch
pipes by water pressure was
considered today by the city
dock and health commissioners.
The plan was submitted to May
or Hylan by Reginald p. Bolton
member of the American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers,
which held the closing sessions
to-day of its annual convention.
The mayor referred the plan
to the two commissioners, with
a request to make recommends
tions as soon as possible.
Mr.. Bolton says that between
this city and Scranton, Pa, there
is fall in elevation about 1000
feet and that IL would be as easy
to transport coal in this fashion
as water. He says 100000 tons
of coal could be brought through
the pipes every year, which
would amply supply the city's
needs.

CLOSING OF TRAFFIC
CAUSES RUMORS
Led to Story of Coup D'Etat in Ger
many-But There Is No Con-
firmation.

Brussels, Dec. l0-The newspaper lie
Peuple announces that railway traffic
has been suspended in both directions
between Belgium and Germany since
yesterday afternoon, and that there is
talk of German coup d'etat. The
Belgian ministry of foreign affairs
however, states il has no confirmation
of this rumor.
In well informed circles it was stated
that the suspension of traffic, men
toned by the newspaper. applied only
to the parcels traffic with Germany.
The Belgian r,rmors of a German
coup d'etat are unsupported by adylces
from any other quarter. They
come out of comparatively clear sky,
for although there have been charges
and counter charges by extremists and
monarchists in Germany that revolu-
tionary plots were Matching, there
have been no recent indications that
any attempt to disturb the present
German government by force was i'm
minent.
Recent reports have not revealed
any exceptionally disturbed industrial
situation.
