Coal Buyers
Limited to Two
Weeks Supply
Woodin's General Order No.
l Is TO Provide for am
Even Distribution of All
the Available Anthracite
To BE Modified Later
Dealers Are Authorized to
II equire Staten e n fs
From Their Purchasers

Dealers are prohibited from deliver
ing more than two weeks supply of
anthracite, and then only If their Gus
toners have less than that quantity
in their bins, under the provisions of
the first general order issued by the
State Fuel Administrator, william II.
Woodin.
General Order No. /, as the first
regulatory act of the State Fuel Ad-
ministrator will be known, is effective
at once and was issued yesterday from
Mr. Woodin's Office with statement
explaining that the limitation of coal
purchases to two weeks supply is
made necessary $50 that it will accom-
plish the greatest good for the great
est number" BY this method Of dis
tribution, MIR. Woodin said, available
stocks of anthracite will be spread out
to the fullest possible extent, and as
more coal is mined and shipped into
the state the order will be modified.
May Require Statements
Where coal dealers are unable from
their records to determine what a two
weeks supply for any given consumer
is, they are authorized by the order TO
require statement of actual require
ments to April /, the amount of coal
on hand and an affirmation that no
order is on file with some other
dealer. False statements will be pros
ecuted under the sweeping authority
which the act vests in the State Fuel
Administrator.
Commenting on the order, Mr.. Wood
in said that investigation had shown
this to be the only possible way to
make domestic sizes Of anthracite OBJ
tainable for all He requested the CO.
operation of householders through
out the state in carrying out it's provi-
sions and urged again that bituminous
or other substitutes for anthracite be
used wherever possible.
Mr.. Woodin again called attention to
the fact that since there are no mines
in New York State he has no control
whatever over prices at the mine. His
power is limited 60 fixing the margin
of profit for the dealers within the
state, and he promised that this ques-
tion will receive careful attention and
investigation in order to prevent prof.
teering when the coal arrives here.

ssBurlesques Girls, Travesties,

Douglas Hunter, Joe Lyons, Annette

At the Park Music Hall the Minsky
Brothers spell 1t ''burlesques," They
declare that the final letter makes a
difference. 1t does. 1t means a really
funny comedian In Tom Howard, dis
play of spiendid scenery designed by
John Wenger, theater frightened by
the efforts OF Carlo Fofnaro, n comeiy
chorus, mixture OF splendid with in
different material, company of play
ers who fall far behind the pace set by
the leading comedian and a Hawaiian
band, which plays during the inter-
mission
The Minsky Brothers have made q
brave start to build permanent inst-
tuition in Columbus Circle. From ad-
vance information, one was led to ex-
pect travesties of current plays, but
they were missing. Perhaps they will
come later. What last nights enthusi-
astic audience did see was a generally
high-class entertainment. The produc-
tion needs some voices among the r.in-
cipals, the elimination of at least one
of the comedy scenes and some dancers
besides 81 Layman and Helen Killing.
Tom Howard, spindle-legged come
dian with a weird nose, reminiscent
(no, not the nose) of Raymond Hitch
cock, quiet of method, does splendidly,
especially with clever skit called "a
Hold Up" He does his best with other
material which is not SO good. He is
effective in the scene with the DR..
Jekyll-Mr. Hyde inmate of the insane
asylum, but the entire scene might
have been eliminated entirely without
injuring the first act which, incidental
iy, ran until almost IL o'clock. An in
sane asylum seems hardly a subject to
bring on the stage for amusement pur-
poses.
The active Sally Fields, who is never
still a moment while she sings, sang
some familiar songs and the audience
seemed to enjoy her efforts. Sue and
Annette Creighton, who have many op-
portunities during the evening, added
little to the entertainment. They are
personable girls, but lack voices and
dancing ability. Hamtree Harrington
gave a good imitation of the late Bert
Williams's poker game pantomime.

one astounding chapter the Rip Van

Such an incredible prophecy that the

And tho breeze ia sweet with a faint

With health in the house and Joy out

And our mouths droop down In a dis

And we lose our pluck and we lose our

We are blind 10 beauty and deaf to

And we sit and sigh that the worlds

It's fine old world when our hearts
are light,
It's good old world when our days

But we're quick to frown when the
| skies are gray
And we've little faith for the darkened
way;
We are all too weak when we should

And we sit and sigh that the worlds

There's never door that care goes by
There's never a heart but must some

The rain must fall and the winds mus;

And pleasure fade at the touch of woe
And in spite of the way that our hopes

JIM REEDS GALL.

Should tho Woodrow Wilson Found
alton ever offer a prizc for political
gall tho award would inevitably go
seeking denomination as a Wilson
Democrat and trying to prove his
case through letter written to him
by President Wilson In October. 1918.
Mr.. Wilson, In a peppery letter TO
the st. Louis Globe Democrat. says
he has no recollection of the letter
that Senator Reed Ia using ms a cam
paign document but tho text as
made public In st. Louis seems to be
authentic. II was the sort Of letter
that Mr.. Wilson. In tho early days of
his first Administration, used TO write
TO unfriendly Indians on Capitol Hill
! to keep them from leaving tho reser-
walton.
AS for Mr.. Wilson's present attitude
toward the Senator from Missouri.
there cannot be much room for doubt
about the meaning OF his letter 10

Perhaps Senator Reed would like Il
circulate this letter along with the
1913 letter. They belong together.
quite aside from any question Of
wisconsin or anti wisconsin, the for
mer Presidents Judgment OF the Sen
ator from Missouri is essentially
sound. Mr.. Reed is n man of con
