STORY EXPRESSES
 EMBASSY OFFICIALS
Alexander Robertson, British War Veteran Claims He Was Kidnapped By Private Detectives.

Washington May 1o.-Possibiity of the outgrowth of the romance of Miss Mary Culberson. 21 year old daughter of Senator Culberson of Texas, and Alexander E. Robertson British war veteran, being taken to the state department was seen today in some quarters as Robertson again went into conference with British embassy officials. He laid before of- ficials today further information to support his charges that because Of his affection for Miss Culberson he was Kidnapped by private detectives and that these detectives attempted to railroad him out of the country.
 Indications were seen in the state ment issued last night by R. Leslie Craigie first secretary of the em- bassy, after the initial conference with Robertson that the war veteran had to some extent at least impress ed embassy officials with his story.
 The statement said the embassy are inclined to consider that certain aspects as presented call for further investigation
 This additional inquiry it was hint ed today by persons close to the en- bassy probably will necessitate a conference by embassy officials with state department officials.

CARPENTER R-LEWlS
Famous Frcnchman Will Meet Kid Lewis At the Enclosed Amphithe- ater in London.

London, May 10. (By Associated Press) )-The enclosed amphitheater in Black Frars road tonight will hold a crowd that will probably eclipse European records for boxing matches when Georges Carpenter will meet Ted (Kid) Lewis for the world's s light heavyweight championship. Popular interest in the event exceeds that of the first meeting between the Frenchman and Joe Beckett. This is mainly due to patriotic faith in the Englishman who has battled through more than 200 scraps and to admira ton of his pluck in taking on man some 12 pounds heavier than himself,
 Betting on the bout was 5 to on Carpenter today, among whose sup porters are Jack Dempsey, the world s heavyweight champion and Jack kearns, his manager.

Hoe to Burn Soft Coal

BOSTON, Aug. 5.-New England
must learn something absolutely novel
before the approach of winter-the
proper way to use soft coal, for hard coal
is going to be scarcer this winter than
was the case at any time during the war.
Such was the statement made yester-

return from Europe this week, became
consgnee for all the coal shipped to Mas

In spite of the inevitable shortage of
anthracite next winter, householders need
have no fear of actual suffering, he said,
for enough soft coal will be received to
insure warm dwellings
In the distribution of coal, households,
with the possible exception of hospitals,
must come first on the list, and then
will come public utilities. such as water
works, railroads, electric light companies
and the like, all of which must be cared
