COAL STRIKE HERE
DOES NOT increase
EXPORTS OF BRITISH
tBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, April 29.-British
coal exporters have been unable to In
crease their market in this country be-
cause of the coal strike according to
a report to the commerce department
today from Trade Commissioner Dye
at London.
THE general opinion in the South
Wales export center is" he said,
large stock of coal on hand that no
shipments are likely to take place un-
less the strike lasts longer than Is now
expected"
Except for one inquiry for $4,000
tons of coal for Montreal, he added,
there have been no inquiries for Brit
ish coal to the United States or Can
ada, and although number of export
firms have offered coal to their Amer
lean connections withik the last few
weeks, the replies have been merely
statements asking to be kept advised
as to prices and freight rates without
Sny definite business resulting.
Imminence of the strike in the Unit
ed States, he said, caused consumers
in South America, and Mediterranean
points to cover their requirements
from South Wales in view of a posi-
BILE stoppage from America However,
he added, even if an entire embargo of
American coal exports takes place, a
rise in British prices is unlikely as il
Is expected that as soon as the strike
is settled in the United States, compe-
tition with American export trade in
those quarters will begin.

new SEEN AS VICTOR
IN PRIMARY TUESDAY

CHICAGO, April 29.-Surface indi-
cations point to the denomination of
Senator Harry S. New, in the Indiana
Republican primary next Tuesday, says
Arthur Sears Henning, special CORE
Spondent, in dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune.
The Tribune was one of the leading
factors in the Progressive party move
ment of 1912 Mr.. Henning's dispatch
is regarded with interest, as it shows
how an outsider of former strong Pro-
gressive tendencies views the Indiana
senatorship situation now.
If Albert J. Beveridge should win
out it would be by virtue Of an under
current of revolt in the Republican par
ty in this state, commensurate with the
insurgency of 1912. That there is a
movement of this character is the as
sertion of the Beveridge leaders, but
it is not discernible by the unbiased OBJ
server.
From the most reliable information
/ have been able to gather in both
camps, / should say that New seems
assured of carrying eight of the thir-
teen congressional districts, that lev-
eridge probably will carry the Sixth
and Ninth districts, and that the sec
ond. third and eighth districts are
doubtful.
News chief strength is in the cities.
The indications are that he will carry
indianapolis and Marion county, Terre
Haute, Fit. Wayne, South Bend, Gary
and Evansville with majorities that it
will be difficult for Beveridge to over
come.

JUSSERAND IS GLAD
TO GIVE UP POST;
HAS LONG SERVICE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 29-The state
ment made in Paris today that Jean
Jules Jusserand soon would be reliev-
ed as French ambassador to Washing
ton was considered in diplomatic cir
cles here as only giving added strength
to reports which have come from the
French capital during the past year in
d1cating a purpose to make a change
in the embassy head. So far as could
be learned, however, no official notice
to the effect has reached the embassy.
Ambassador Jusserand is under
stood to be fully prepared for the
change, feeling that he is entitled to
relief from the onerous duties of his
office here by reason of his exception
ally long service. NJ Jusserand has
created record for incumbency in
the embassadorial position not only of
France but of any other country repre-
sented at Washington having assumed
his office Feb. 8, 1903. 1t happens that
ne also enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the only ambassador in active serv-
Ice here who was discharging his func-
tons during the strenuous DAYS of the
World war. All of the others have
long ago been retired or gone to other
fields of activity.

Easing of Economic
Tension Is Reported
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Notice-
able improvement in the tone of the
Brazilian market was reported to the
commerce department today by Com.
mercial Attache SchurZ at Rio de
Janeiro. Buyers, however, he added,
are still cautious because of the I'm.
certainty of exchange.
Brazil's export trade in general pro-
duce is still unsatisfactory, he de-
clared, and the slow recovery of this
phase of the trade Is limiting the
capacity of the import market, while
crop conditions are also uncertain due
to the extraordinary rainfall in some
states.
An easing of the economic tension in
Mexico was noted in advices received
by the department. The increased
price of silver, the advices said, has
stimulated developments in the min
ing districts and activity in the ex-
ploitation of oil properties in the
Isthmus of Tehunatepec continues.
1t is reported the advices declared
that titles to property bought there
will be guaranteed by the department
Of industry and commerce of Mexico.

WHEAT PRICES BENT
DOWN BY POSSIBLE
LACK OF SUPPLIES

CHICAGO, April 29. = Skepticism
about continued lack of wheat sup
plies here to fill contracts for May de
livery had considerable effect this
week toward weighing down prices in
the wheat market. Compared with a
week ago wheat this morning was nc
to 312c lower: corn unchanged to
70 ole higher; oats off A@5sc, and
provisions irregular, varying from 1Oc
decline to rise of 15c.
limitations that a big grain COM
pany supposed to be heavily short OF
wheat was prepared to deliver wheau
on outstanding contracts instead of
settling otherwise, gave the first Jolt
to traders who had been expecting
values to ascend. Evidence that wheat
imports from Canada, duty paid, would
be made at profit tended further to
weaken confidence on the part of hold
er of wheat. Then came gossip that
private settlements were being nego-
tlated In May contracts involving as
much as five million bushels At this
Juncture, the market dropped SIC a
bushel within few hours.
Unusual activity in purchasing for
Europe developed after wheat prices
had tumbled. About 1900 900 bushels
were estimated to have taken for Eli
rope one day and 100000 bushels the
day following. Then quotations tight
cred up again, and perplexity re.
Cured as to how next months deliy-
cries here beginning Monday would
result.
Seaboard demand both for corn and
oats helped to give comparative steadi-
ness to the two feed-grain. markets.
provisions averaged higher with
hogs.

RADIO POPULARITY
CHANGES FIRE RULES

NEW YORK, April Thousands
of amateur Marconis and Edisons ex-
perimenting with their radio outfits
have caused the national board of fire
underwriters to issue a new set of reg
ulations covering the installation of
wireless sending and receiving appa-
ratus.
'One of the fire dangers connected
with the present radio craze is the in
clination of those interested to expert
ment with lighting circuits and other
high voltage systems says a state
ment by the underwriters in connection
with the new regulations.
The new regulations are concerned
chiefly with precautions against the ac-
cidental contact of outside radio wires
with high power electric light wires
or trolley feeders; protection against
lighting and against contact of wires
indoors which might cause short cir
cult fires. They deal only with receiv-
ing stations.

Lutheran Brotherhood
Will Convene In T oledo:
Conducts Welfare Work

TOLEDO, Ohio, April 29.-Thirty
states will send delegations of men to
Toledo. May 9 to II, to attend the
third biennial convention of the Lu-
theran Brotherhood of America, which
is an intersynodical organization of
Lutheran men bent upon increasing
the EFFICIENCY of the church activities
through personal service. 1t was or
gained in Des Moines, Iowa, in Sep
TENDER, 1917, with the immediate pur-
pose of "furthering the religious, NOR
al and social well-being of the soldiers
of the United States at the different
camps or environments, as we'll as up
on the battlefield" and the further
purpose of acting in time of peace as
league to bind men to loyalty to
country, home and church
Within a year of it's organization
there were established 20 brotherhood
homes in army and navy environments
throughout the country, and IA such
homes for the students army training
corps men in colleges and universities.
A number of these brotherhood
houses received high terms of praise
from official and unofficial quarters,
notably, the large institution at the
Great Lakes Naval training station
At present the brotherhood has four
army and navy stations in full opera
ton, located at Norfolk, Va, Great
Lakes, Ill, Houston, Texas and Brem-
erton, Wash
An invitation has been extended to
students of 40 colleges and UNIVERSE
ties to send representatives to the
student conference to be held in con-
nection with the convention, and many
of them have accepted. Plans will be
considered for the extension of the
brotherhood's work, into the promi-
nent educational centers of the mid
die west.
DR.. J. A. o. Stub, of Minneapolis,
isnational president of the brotherhood,
whose other officers are: Rev. P. o.
Bersell, Ottuma, Iowa, Dr. Otto Mees,
Columbus, Ohio, Mr.. Paulus List, Chi
cago, Mr.. N A. Nelson, Chicago, and
Mr.. G. H. Boyer, Chicago, vice presi-
dents; DR.. A. B. Learner, Des Moines,

THINK DEATHS CAUSED
BY POISONED PLUMS

NEW YORK, April 29.-Possibility
that Mr.. and Mrs. Fremont Jackson
whose bodies were found in the bath
room of their apartment in the hotel
Margaret in Brooklyn last Wednes-
day morning were killed by poisoned
plums has been advanced by DIR. e
M. Vaughan, medical examiner for
the district attorney of Kings county.
The police have abandoned their
first conclusion that the Jacksons died
natural deaths or at any rate by moi
son taken accidentally. They now saw
that Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson either died
in suicide pact or were poisoned by
some one who sent them fruit loaded
with drug or chemical that would
cause quick paralysis and ensuing
death.
The most important support of the
murder theory is the finding in Mr..
Jackson's stomach of large piece of
fresh plum. That it was a fresh plum
and not preserved plum is certain.
according to DR.. Vaughan, who made
certain of this fact before making his
statement.
Just what did cause the death OF
the couple in the Brooklyn hotel VIII
not be known until the chemists have
returned their report to the district
attorney. The police say that If the
reports sustain their theory of MUIR
der. they have on their hands the most
elaborate murder mystery New York
has seen for years.
The relatives of the Jacksons scout
the suicide theory and noint to the
excellent health of both Mr.. and Mrs.
Jackson as well as emphasizing the
fact that both were extremely wealthy
in their own right.

WHISKY STOCK BONE

(By Associated Press.l


BELFAST. April 29-Irregular Re-
publican troops today seized the
bonded stores in Kilkenny and re-
moved the whole stock of whisky to
the Kilkenny Jail.
The state officers went to the jail
and issued an ultimatum to the COM
manders that unless the property was
returned by o'clock this afternoon
Free State troops would move TO the
prison and take it by force.
DUBLIN, April 29.-The Staying Of
several prominent citizens of Cork
yesterday has caused a sensation here
equal TO that caused when several
members of the family of Owen Mac
Mahon were killed in Belfast last
month.
The full story of the outrage Is still
lacking. especially the one in which
Right Rev. Richard Harbord, of the
Murragh rectory, or his son, was the
victim. Several reports agree that
the son was the one killed, but none
relates the circumstances.
1t is widely believed that the muir
ders were intended in reprisal for the
MacMahon killings or, rather, for the
impunity with which their authors re-
main at large, as many southerns
have voiced the conviction that the
MacMahons were killed by members
of the special police.
The provisional government is cred
tied with the declaration that those
guilty of the Cork outrages will be
brought to justice regardless of the
time this may take. The public here
fears more terrible counter-reprisals
, in Belfast which, in turn, would have
a sequel elsewhere.

WAL ERMAN FAVORS
SAVING OF DAYLIGHT;
ORDINANCE UP MAY |

Joseph NJ. Waterman, first ward
councilman and member OF the city
council expressed himself as favoring
the daylight saving plan in an inter
view Saturday afternoon.
81 am for 1t because it allows the
clerks and shopmen to get out an hour
earlier in the afternoon" he said.
Discussion of an ordinance to put
the plan into effect from May IA TO
the first Sunday in October will come
up in council meeting Monday evening
Main street merchants are for the
plan too" said Mr.. Waterman.
An amended ordinance providing
for better fire protection in theatres,
an ordinance providing for one high
powered" motor car for the use of the
city police department, another or
dinance holding peddlers to distance
of at least go feet away from Main
street, when they locate on side
streets; and amendments to the build
ing code embodied in another ordin-
ance, will be presented for the con-
sideration of the council Monday
evening.
j. L. Dolan. county agent, in a state
, ment issued Saturday, set forth the
viewpoint of the farmer on daylight
saving. Farmers of Wayne county
will be opposed, almost to a man, to
the daylight saving plan,' he said
They are opposed for the same rea-
son farmers in every state in the union
opposed it two years ago. The Amer
lean farmer was largely instrumental
in getting the daylight saving law re.
J pealed. 1t will affect him in his city
trading. 1t is hard enough now for
| the farmers to get into town to do
their trading before $50 o'clock in
the afternoon. He would have to be
/. in the city at 80 under the new plan,
His afternoons work would not be half
done by that time.
Banking facilities of the farmer
would be affected. 1t keeps him hust.
! ling now to get in at 8 o'clock in the
afternoon. If the city of Richmond
changes its hours, the farmers of the
! county cannot. They have to follow
nature. Any city dependent to any
great extent upon the agricultural in.
terests for its support had better con.
slider seriously before adopting such a
| plan. Surely the smaller cities of the
county will not oppose in any way the
| adoption of the daylight saving plan
| by the city of Richmond"

Bigamist's First Wife
Willing to Adopt Child
of Hubby's Second Spouse

DETROIT, Mich, April 29.-Mrs.
Florence G. Orion, first wife of Will
liam G. Orion, confessed bigamist,
may adopt the child of the second Mrs.
Orion if by doing she can save her
husband from a term in prison. This
was her statement yesterday after Or
ton pleaded guilty in municipal court
to the charge of bigamy Orion claims
he married Miss Hulda Nicholas to
give her child a name. He was adj
mitted to $4,000 bond pending a re-
port on the case next Tuesday by the
probation department.
Il still love my husband" said the
first Mrs. Orion, who is the mother of
three children. 81 am going to stay
here as long as there is a chance of
my being permitted to take him home
with me-"
Asked if she would take the second
Mrs. Orton's baby should the court
make that condition to the probation,
she said:
IF my husband, the other woman
and the court are willing, / suppose
will. oh, I'm awfully sorry for Miss
Nicholas, but l believe my husbands
story that he married her out of chiv-
airy and because she wanted a name
for her baby"
THAT is the kind of man he is,
she continued. "He is honorable and
square. Above everything else,
want him back"
The Ortons came here three years
ago. During one of Mrs. Orton's Wis
! its to Brockton, Mass, her former
home, Orion met Miss Nicholas. They
were married last June and lived to
gether three weeks, then Orion disap
peared. The young woman found him
in Brockton and learned of his previ
Gus marriage when she visited him
there. She returned to Detroit and
/ filed the bigany charge.
