First Indictments in Chi
cago to Be Followed
by More.

Chicago, Feb. 16.-Leslie Harrington
and 16 others who were alleged to have
helped him in borrowing sum es-
timated as much as S7.000.0OO from
poor investors. mostly foreigners, were
named in true bills returned by the
grand jury.
All named, it was reported. were
charged with operating confidence
game and evidence was heard which,
it was predicted. would result in the
voting of fourteen more true bills Fri
day.
Similar action was expected. accord
ing to officials of the states attorney s
office, against Raymond j. Bischoff, on
whose operations Harrington was said
to have modelled his own. and into
whose affairs an investigation has been
progressing for several days.
In his testimony before referee in
bankruptcy, Bischoff has estimated his
liabilities at S4,500,00O with assets of
less than $1,000 in cash. Others. how
ever. have estimated Bischoff's liabili-
ties at approximately O00-all
collected in the form oil loans during
the past two years by the 2o-year old
promoter.
At the same time the belief was ex-
pressed by those IN the state S attor-
ney's office who were familiar with
the course Of the Investigation that the
losses of the thousands of poor invest
ors who trusted their money to Har
rington and Bischoff might be as much
as SD, 100000.
This sum. it was expected. would be
increased by investigation now being
made of several small concerns which
initiated the methods Of Harrington
and Bischoff. I'VE have every evidence
of get-rieh- quick operations on scale
never before reached in the history of
easy money financing said Ernest s.
Hodges. assistant states attorney.
Charles II. Apple, the latest invest
ment dealer to have his affairs thrown
into the bankruptcy court, appeared
again in court.
Apple is said to have obtained some
thing less than million dollars on his
notes.

if it was the intention to organize a

said it was contrary to the expressed
desires of the meeting, that it was

would mean two sets of officers doing
work one set should perform.

White and said he had been at the
meeting in Great Falls when the other
organization had been formed and that
he had been steam rollered." A mo-
tion to organize under the program
provided in the report was then adopt

COAL OWNERS
SEE BIC OUTPUT.
DESP|TESTR|kE
Declare SO Per Cent Is Now
Produced by Non-unionists.
Expect to Increase This.
BY j. d. A. MORROW,
Vice President National Coal
Association
Cosm opoIItsn News Service.

NEW YORK. Mar"h 29.-The con-
sumner of coal IS primarily inter.
ested In the question how his abili-
~ to obtain coal is likely to be
affected II the strike develops. In
reaching an answer to that question
two considerations are of primary
Importance. The first is, how
much coal will be produced even
after the strike Is declared; the
second is, how great are tho exist
ing stocks OF coal on which con.
sumers can draw u their regular
supply In shu. oft.
Not all bitum!nous coal is pro-
duced in organized territory. APP.
proIimately 62 per cent OF the
normal output OF soft coal comes
from union minos md 3S per cent
from non.union mInes.
The capacity OF non-union mines
10 little short of zoe 900 900 tons a
year. That Is, in cnsc Of the union
mines shutting down, non.union
mines have q chance Of turning out
no less than 5000 900 tons Of coal a
week.
On January 1, 1922, stocks Of bi.
luminous coal in the United States
were estimated at E.500.000 tons.
Since the middle of January pro-
duction has been running at q high
figure, reaching q maximum Of H.
100000 tons in the week ended
March II. As current consumption
is running little, II any, above
100000 tons a week, 1t is obvious
that large amounts of bituminous
coal have been added week by week
to the stocks on hand. Stocks Of
bituminous coal are appreciably
lnrger than 100000 tons.
1t cannot be assumed that this
utcd. Individuals or localities may
feel the pinch Of coal shortage.
while there 10 still for the country
as whole n generous supply on
hand.
1t is probable that the consump-
ton of hituminous coal after April
will not much, II any, exceed
seven and a half million tons per
week. In the case of a strike at the
anthracite mines there will be APP
pro1imately a million tons per week
Of steam sizes OF anthracite which
will have to be replaced by bitumi-
nous coal.
In case of a complete stoppage OF
production from mines the outnlit
OF non-union mines woul5 supply
three-fourts OF the curren. demand
for bituminous coal. Stocks Of coal
on hand will be sufficiently large to
make good the deficiency ~ output
for many weeks.
1t would seem to he the part OF
wisdom for consum,rs % make
reasonable preparation for an inter.
ruption OF the bitumious coal surrly,
but. on the other hand. there Is no
reason to anticipate any such shout.
