COAL C0NFISCATED
TO SUPPLY SCHOOLS
Residents Also Seize Fuel
for Churches at Oily
phant, Pa.

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 5.-Headed by
policemen. firemen, Councilmen, school
directors and Burgess Z. B. Dempsey,
several thousand citizens OF Olyphant
Borough, five miles north OF here,
marched to-day on the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad and conhscated four
big cars of coal to supply churches ana
schools that have been without fuel for
weeks.
The Federal Government and state
Fuel Commission had been accused by
the Olyphant people Of ignoring their
pleas, and to-day they took matters into
their own hands and seized the coal.
Trucks. wagons, automobiles and
vehicles of every sort We're pressed into
service to haul the coal to the churches
and schools.
The schools had been closed two
weeks and $500 pupils had been out Of
their classes because coal companies
mining in Olyphant shipped the fuel to
other cities and refused to sell any in
Olyphant. The Olyphant authorities put
an embargo on train of coal In the
borough and are holding II.
While hundreds of citizens shoveled
the coal into the trucks the. hremen and
policemen stood on guard 70 keep rail-
road police from interfering. There was
no interference from the railroad au-
thorities. however. and tons of coal were
being moved rapidly during the day
No effort was made by the police OF
the Hudson Coal Company or the Della
ware and Hudson companies to stop the
taking of the coal. Altogether about
120 tons of coal were removed from cars
on the sidings of the Delaware ana Hud-
son Company within the confines OF the
boroughs. Police of the Hudson Coal
Company say they We're powerless to
interfere since the coal was not on the
property of that company when taken.

CHURCH HEARS BEER
ARGUMENT BY SMITH
Nominee Cites Three Points to
Show People Should Have
Light Wines Also.

The Rev. Christian f. Reisner, pastor
of the Chelsea Methodist Episcopal
Church, 17sth street and Fort Washing
ton avenue. made public in his sermon
last night replies he had received from
candidates in response TO an inquiry
asking their position on the modification
of the Volstead act. DR.. Reisners SER
mon was on wine, Beer and the Bible.
Although most of the quoted candi-
dates either evaded a. direct answer or
contended that prohibition was not an
issue, Alfred e. Smith, Democratic
nominee for Governor. explained why he
favors giving the people of each State
a referendum on the question of whether
the sale Of light wines and beers should
be legalized.
Pointing out what he said he con-
sidered were serious consequences OF
the Volstead act Mr.. Smith said:
'1n the first place. it has encouraged
official dishonesty TO degree never be-
fore heard of in my experience.
Second. it has given rise to a general
attitude of ridicule and contempt for
law enforcement. There are hundreds
of thousands of people In the community
who do not feel themselves bound 10
respect the provisions of this law. and
that, in my opinion, tends to bring the
observance of the law generally into
disrepute among great bodies OF our
citizens.
I'm the third place. the inability to
get light wines and beers has caused
great many people to use much more
than they ever did before OF stronger
liquors like whisky and gin. Among the
laboring classes there Is strong feel
ing OF dssa tisfaction. based on their
belief that the rich man can get his
hard liquor by paying for II. in viola
ton of the provisions Of the law. While
the poor man cannot get the beverage
that he looked upon as regular part
Of his everyday food supply"
"The real truth" added Mr.. Smith.
"is that enforcement of the Nolstcad
act has been made impossible because
1t lacks the support Of great masses of
people"
Martin c. Ansorge, Representative
from the Twenty-frst District. declined
TO come out 'flatly and say whether he
favored light wines and beer. He said
he would be bound by the wishes of his
constituents.
Senator Calder's secretary replied
that the Senator believed prohibition
came too soon and that people are not
ready for IL Just now" He said. how
ever. that he favored the enforcement
of the Nolstead act.

S1,5OO,OOO STAKED
ON STATE ELECTION
Fidgety BettOrs Resort in Last
Hours to Great Deal Of
Hedging.

More than s1.500,000 has been stalled
upon the results of to-morrow's Guber-
natorial election. according to an esti-
mate yesterday by w. L. Darnell & Co,
brokers' who handle large amount Of
the commissions, I'm Wall Street.
The betting this year has been livelier
than in any off year election in twenty
years. Small fortunes will change hands.
There has been a great amount OF
hedging. Darnell & Co. said that many
bettors who backed Miller heavily when
he was a to and to favorite
have reduced their possible losses by
hedging on Smith. Also many bettors
who took odds of to 1 and 7 to 5
against Smith, being satisfied with their
paper profits. have turned to Miller as
a hedge, laying against or against
on his election. Thus they are as
sured of good profits regardless of the
outcome of the baloting.
A certain Wall Street broker who took
s25. 900 against $4,000 on Smith a few
weeks ago succeeded on Saturday in lay
ing off the $4,000 Miller end of the bet
at odds of to ). That transaction
netted him $4,000 profit. or 120 per cent.

with having been Instrumental in back
ing Miller down from 2 to | to even
money on wagers amounting to $500, 900.
On receiving definite information" that
he had been Shooting at the stars" this
big bettor Immediately switched to Smith
TO the extent of $4,000, which he is re-
ported to have laid against s56,o00, or at
odds of to s. He now stands TO lose
$4,000.
4 true blue Democrat is credited with
having placed bets of $4,000 each that
Smith would carry Greater New York by
pluralities of 800, 900, $4,000, $4,000,
$50. 900, 10000 and $4,000 He also

Party Deals RumcreS.

Tho hattie oyer the Governorship has
hlanketed TO a very large extent popular
interest in contests for the Senatorial
Congressional. aud other state offices.
II Is the Tammany theory that smith
viii be strong enough to carry along
with him Or. Royal $. Copeland, the
Democratic candidate for tho Senate,
and the nominees OF the party for at
least fifteen additional seats for the
lower house OF Congress and wipe out
Republican control of the Legislature.
Despitc this confidence Senator Calder
seems to stand very good chance OF
winning. He will receive very large
vote IN Brooklyn plus the up state
party support.
Democratic leaders in Brooklyn pri-
vately conccdo this fact The Senator's
managers are urging his friends to re-
frain from making any distinction be-
tween him and Gov. Miller and the other
candidates on the Republican state
ticket
II Is quite natural that the rivalries
and confused conditions generally pre-
vailing should inspire reports OF deals
designed TO promote the chances OF In
dividual candidates at the expense of the
party. Wagers made by Tammanv
men have had a great deal TO do with
the circulation of these reports, which
entirely lack substance. Some OF these
wagers are that as n result OF extensive
trading the chances of Gov. Smith

nominee O'Brien and Republican and
Democratic General Sessions nominee
Morris koenig will receive support with

Promoters of the Cohalan movement
do not hesitate TO assert that a deal
has been negotiated between the Tam
many and Republican managers to as
sure the election of Mr.. 0'Brien, but
they have as yet failed to produce any
evidence 90 support their charge.
Local conditions have encouraged the
Democratic state managers TO insist

Extravagant Estimates.

Reports emanating from Democratic
sources up the State are derided by Re-
publican managers According to their
apparently reliable advices the alleged
detection in the party vote in the nor
NAL Republican counties up State does
not exist in fact 1t is admitted by
some of the Republican leaders that IN
the larger centers up state Mr.. Smith
win receive considerable support which
has rarely been given a candidate OF
Tammany Hall. but they assert that this
viii he made up by an unusual Increase
OF the vote among women In the rural
districts. who do not look with favor
on the attempt of Tammany Hall to win
the control of the State government.
Democratic confidence that the vote
received by Mr.. Smith will have an un-
precedented majority Is based on the
belief that Gov. Miller will receive fewer
votes than were given Major Curran
last year and that the Socialist total
will be negligible because thousands of
adherents of the last named party will
flock TO the support of Mr.. Smith.
Socialist leaders stoutly reject this
claim. They assert that the support
given Mayor Hylan in the contest last
wear by the Socialists was due to their
approval of his position on the five cent
fur1 lsSde, W1lcn Directly Appeared ~
them. At the same time the Socialist
leaders assert that Mr.. Smith cannot
cpe to receive any considerable per-
ccutage OF this vote.
lf the Republican estimates OF $4,000
votes for Gov. Miller are correct and the
Socialist prediction Of $4,000 for Cas-
sidy H. reached. Mr. Smith will receive
"a the neighborhood Of 100000. because
the total number that will be cast will
not exceed t.025.O0 If Mr.. Smith
should receive 100000 plurality over
GOV. Miller and Mr.. Cassidy he will
have TO poll approximately 10000
votcs. leaving his two opponents around
$50 600. or % per cent. OF the entire
vote. The Republican leaders express
complete confidence that the Tammany
estimates will be disclosed as not only
extravagant but wholly unwarranted.
still the mere matter of figures has
failed 10 check the enthusiasm OF the
Tammany supporters of Mr.. Smith, who
not only think that the battle IL all
over but the shouting but are wiling
to bet even money that he viii win by
10000.
