". J. URGES ECONOMY
IN COAL CONSUMPTION

Trenton. n. j., Aug. 5.-(By A. P.)
-Consumers were urged by Governor
Edwards. New Jersey Fuel Commits
sion. today, to observe strict economy
In the consumption Of fuel, due to the
miners strike. A statement inform
ing the public of the seriousness of the
coal situation, indicates that the people
must shoulder the greatest burden be-
cause of the disagreement between
miners and operators.
Through Chairman William T. Grier,
of the commission named by the Gov.
crnor. this statement was issued to the
public:
'"This commission, acting in co opera
ton with the Federal authorities. will
do everything possible In the matter of
vent the cessation of any public utility
or State industry, and will take care,
as far as possible, Of householders and
coal users. To do this work In the
manner they have planned, the commits
sion solicit the earnest support of all
coal dealers, wholesale and retail, and
of al coal users. to see to 1t.
First, that strict economy is exer-
cised in the consumption of coal.
Second. to use soft coal exclusively
where the same can be done instead of
being used partly with anthracite.
Third. to use. wherever practicable,
fuel oil, which will tend to conserve
the limited amount of coal available
for general use and furnish the user
with heat generated at not more than
two thirds the cost of anthracite coal
Fourth, that all reports as to
quantity on hand and quantity required
be absolutely honest, as any other form
of request will react on the applicant"

New York, Aug. 5.-"with much love
from your frssy old Daddy Long Legs, +"
was the tender sentence chosen by fifty
eight year. old John Il. Woodward. E.
New York business representative OF
the Chicago Daily News and five
other American newspapers. to termin-
ate affectionate letters written to Miss
Edith l.. Ransom, twenty eight. Of the
Hotel Laurelton, according to the
papers in Miss Ransom's breach Of
promise suit for S1OO. 900 against Mr..
Woodward. filed in the Supreme Court
yesterday.
Mr.. Woodward refused to discuss the
documentary evidence offered in support
of Miss Ransom's action.
Thinks He Still Loves
Miss Ransom, from Virginia, was q
secretary in the Few York headouar-
ters of the Committee on Public In
formation in 1913, when. she says. she
met Mr.. Woodward at dinner party.
Soon friendship developed and in the
early spring of 1920 Miss Ransom says
Mr.. Woodward asked her to become his
wife. He was accepted.
II think Mr.. Woodward would have
at the Laurelton yesterday. "but for
the influence of his married dnurh. I.
ter. his only child. I think he loves
Inc to this day. Why, he was hero to
see me only last night. two days after
he was served with the summons in
my suit. He came at q 80 and re :
mained until ~ 80. No, he did not
indicate he came to have me drop the
suit or to annoy me at all. In fact.
he was extremely pleasant. Why. he
said he wished me all of the luck in the
world. and, yes, he even said he hoped
I'd win the suit.
"Of course, I'd marry him. I'd
marry him tomorrow. My suit is
not a mcrcenary action. 1t is tho
only measure remaining to me with
which to defend my character and
nssuage the humiliation have had to
endure MS consequence of Mr..
Woodwards > change of mind.'
Her Pen Was Faciie

Ransom. start Dear Edith" and one
Of them says:
You have great versatility in letter
writing. In almost every letter you
write you show it.
Sunday you pictured me as a great
big wonderful man. Tuesday I was q
shrimp not fit to continue as your de :
voted pal; on my return to New York
/ was not TO speak to you. Wednps
day l was to prepare for the wedding
march, and on Thursday I was cold :
hearted villain who had forsakcn his
princess and was rushing widows and
vamps. Your letters are always in :
teresting and I enjoy reading them
immensely.
"You say little about your social
life. What are you doing to make the
nights pleasant and the days livable.
AS ever, j. b."
After deciding not to marry, Miss
Ransom asserts, Mr.. Woodward sought
to have her marry a young Chicago
business man who evinced deep in
terest in her. Other letters chided Miss
Ransom for unwise expenditures of her
allowances. Miss Ransom said she be :
lieved Mr.. Woodward to be forty eight
years old until several months ago,
when she learned he was really fifty

bowling. but they are tenors or pro-

they gain their Independence before they

nounced that wrecking crews would not
answer emergency calls even though
lives were endangered. Union men
said the action was prompted by the
executives statements that the roads
and by an ultimatum notifying men to
return to work or consider themselves
permanently discharged.
A statement by the Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture yesterday said that
the railroad strike had not affected
shipment of perishable food supplies.
Shipments of fourteen leading fruits
and vegetables were nearly 80, 900 cars
ahead of last season. the report added.
Heads of three Of the big four rail-
road brOtherhoods sent telegram to
President Harding, asking for con
ference at which they would state their
views Of the strike situation. They
also sent messages to their legislative
questing them to arrange such con-
ference.
In a message to the representatives
authorizing them to discuss with the
President questions at issue, il ia
pointed out that discomfort Is RAPIDLY
growing among the membership of three
organizations. The leaders believe that
unless the strike is settled. the brother
hood will inevitably be drawn into the
controversy.
When the shopmen's strike was
called. the brotherhood chiefs issued in
structions to their members not to do
anything more than their contracts with
the railroads call for. The men we're
authorized not to take out any unsafe
equipment unless they secured wniyers
of responsibility from the superinten.
dents of the terminal.
Since then, the brotherhood chiefs de-
clare. they have received hundreds of
complaints from their members that do.
mandS have been made upon the men 70
take out locomotives and euuipmrnt
which are in dangerous and unsnfe
condition. The men also claim that
they have been subjected to abuse und
assaulted by armed guards employed nv
the railroads. -
The union chiefs said:
1.-THE plain intention of the roilrood
executives to smash the shop craft union
is resulting i'll more and more of rho
locomotives and equipment getting into
disrepair, and the dangers of a most
hazardous occupation are being daily

Voters by Senatorial and
Cubernatorial Candidates
DEMOCRATS FIGHT DRY LAW

Newark. n. j., Aug. 5.--In the po-
ltical campaign now being waged IN
this State. prohibition is the storm cen :
ter. The opinion of the voters, 1t is
expected, will be clearly expressed in
the State wide primary election which
will be held September 2G.
Both the Republican nomination for
the United States Senate and the guber :
material nomination on the Democratic
ticket are involved in the issue. United
States Senator Joseph s. Frelinghuysen,
who is seeking denomination. has de-
clarcd himself as opposed to any mOdi-
ficati0n of the Volstead act. asserting
that it's modification virtually would
nullify the dry amendment. William f..
| Tuttle, one of the Democratic candi-
dates for Governor, has announced him.
self as in favor of modification and as
opposed to appropriations for State
prohibition enforcement.
Record Silent OH Liquor
Senator Frelinghuysen' opponent is
George l.. Record. a Jersey City attor-
ney, who was defeated for the Repub-
lican nomination in 1913 by United
States Senator Walter +. Edge and
previously was defeated for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor. Mr..
Record refuses to permit the liquor
question to be an issue, so far as he
IS concerned, and has declared In cam
paign speeches that the prime issue Is
the curbing of monopolies. He has
promised statement of his position on
the liquor question later.
Senator Frelinghuysen also has de-
clared for 4 protective tariff. but would
take the matter out of politics by In
crcasng the membership of the Tariff
in the Senate. He fuvors continued
aid to farmers through farm loan
banks.
Governor Edward I. Edwards has no
one blocking his path to the Demo-
members of his party in New Jersey

the State entities him to the nomina-
tion. He is on the wet side of the
liquor issue. n beer bill which he signed
