FOREIGN FUEL
A JOKE: LEWIS
Miners Head Scoffs at Idea of
Breaking Strike By Importing
Coal From England.

New York, July 26.-Importa-
ton of British mined bituminous
coal to avert a fuel famine among
American industries sis so appar-
emily futile and absurd as to con-
stitute huge joke" John L. Lewis,
president Of the United Mine Work
ers of America, asserted today.
They tell me 100000 tons of
coal already has been contracted
for at the mines in Wales" he said,
enough to keep the miners of
America digging just two and one
half hours a day on an average pro-
duction. When it is realized that
the normal coal requirements of
this country are 100000 tons a
week, while the utmost unloading
capacity of all docks on the Ameri-
can sea coast is less than q, O0O, 900
tons a year, it becomes apparent
how farcica1 is all attempts. to
break the miners strike with for
eign fuel"
MIR. Lewis said he had not been
in communication with English
union leaders or sought any agree
ment with Welsh miners which
would result In a refusal to load
union dug coal for shipment to
! America.

IN COUNTY CELL
Especial Moline SePvica. }

Dan Sutton, who broke out Of his
cell at the Silvis Jail yesterday
morning, was this morning SEN
fenced to 30 days in the county
Jail on a charge Of vagrancy. When
sentence was imposed Sutton pro-
duced $23 which he had hidden up
his shirt sleeve and diamond ring
which he had in his hat and sought
to have Judge Marchant accept the
money and ring in lieu Of q Jail
sentence.
Sutton claims to have been with
the Donkey-Barnes circus early in
the summer as an acrobat, hence
the agility displayed BY him in his
jail-breaking effort.
Members of the Davenport police
department, who looked the pris-
oner over yesterday afternoon, de-
clared that he was not the fellow
who broke Jail at Davenport.
Sutton poked hole through the
ceiling of his cell, crawled between
the plaster and roof to the next
cell, the door of which was un-
locked, made another hole in the
ceiling and dropped to- the floor.
He WIGS about to leave the building
when Mayor George Sleeth and
Louis tanner entered and locked
him up again.
