Why Coal Is High.

The Herald several times has com
mented upon the expensive and an
tiquated methods by which the con.
Stunning public is supplied with anthra-
cite coal We now have in our posses
sion a long statement from an expe-
rienced business man who served for
two years as fuel administrator in
small city. and who bought coal, ar
ranged for its transportation, arranged
deliveries, dealt with score of coal
agencies, supervised retailers in four
towns and examined their books, bills,
costs, deliveries and other records
through period Of about Ave years.
This gentleman says that from the
mine TO the consumers bin the whole
process is surrounded with profit and
expense" He says Il am somewhat ia
miliar with the coal game, and know
it is played against the public interest,
and ! believe unnecessarily So He dis
cusses at length the differences be-
tween standard coal and Independent
coal, and says that standard rs unob-
tainable by the majority of dealers,
while the standard dealer is not fur
'nished with enough to break the mar
ket" He shows how the necessity of
having recourse to independent coal
lifts the costs and adds an extra profit
how the standard dealers gauge their
prices according TO conditions among
the independents. and how the big pro-
ducers allot their output among their
customers. He says fatty that the
small dealers have no systematic meth
cd of handling business, doing their
work in slack, expensive manner,
leaving the consumer to pay the bill |
This statement confirms The Herald's |
opinion that coal is handled in an an.
fashion, not merely by the |
smaller dealers, but by some Of the i
largest dealers in the business Mod

WONDERFUL ATHLETE
IS NEGRO GOURDIN
Harvard Man Who Made New World
Record in Broad Jump Saturday Is
Greatest Athlete Harvard Ever Had.

Cambridge, Mass, July 25.-Edward
o. Gourdin, Harvard's negro athlete
who set new world broad jump record
of 25 feet three inches last Saturday
has closed his college athletic career
with an all.round record of proficiency
surprising that of any other man who
ever wore the Crimson. His ability in
the events OF track and field, which he
first tried as a freshman, is shown in a
list of the marks he has made in actual
competition. They follow:
l00-yard dash: Q 3-5 seconds.
yard dash: % I-5 seconds
40 yard nun SO is seconds 4.
Broad jump; rs feet. three inches.
High jump: feet inches.
Running hop, step and jump: IS feet,
3 inches.
Javelin throw; $40 feet.
Discus throw; ITO feet.
Gourdin will be as much decorated
as hero of many wars if he chooses
to pin on his breast all the medals he
has won in four years. The Harvard
athletic authorities have been unable
to get medals struck of as often as he
has earned them. Five gold medals of
special die are due him for his success.

In the entire nine innings he allowed

tap Just back of third base, would
have been caught by Parks but for the
shouting of left fielder Greig, who was
coming in for it. 1t fell between them
and was scored as a hit for Seymour.
The other three Winooski hits were
clean singles, scattered so far apart
that they went for naught. POLL had
them entirely in his power.
Several times WinoosH players
reached third base, St. John getting
there in the first and sixth innings
only to watch Polli strike out the fol-
lowing three batsmen as he stole
around each time. Seymour in the
third reached third but again the
strike outs came And again in the

single and two walks; then in the
pinch when the bases were full Pol.
