COAL FAMINE is
NOW PREDICTED


Jersey and New England states have
already testified to the dissatisfaction
ard assertions which the shortage Of
coal and the extortionate prices of
last winter caused anong republican
voters in that region. President
Harding is still blamed by many of
these republicans. it is claimed, for
his failure, first, to settle the coal
strike early last summer, and, second
to provide supply of fuel during the
longest and seyercst sretch of cold
weather experienced ny New England
and surrounding states In many years.
This discomfort with official Washing
ton became hostility to President
Harding, 1t is admitted by republicans
leaders, when he declared that the
peoples suffering during the shortage
of fuel was largely psychological"
Expect Figures
The figures given in the report Of
the coal commission regarding the
average price of anthracite and the
profits of the operators renew inter-
est in the facts recently published by
the department of commerce, which
showed that the exports of anthracite
from the United States for the ten
months ended April 80, 1928, were
only 21,934 tons lass than those for
the same period of 1922, when
there was no miners strike, and that
the average price of all this anthracite
sold by American operators to foreign
users was little less than $11 ton.
At the same time the people of the
entire North Atlantic seaboard were
paying from SIS to $25 per ton for
what little hard coal they could get.
Another winter Of scarcity, which
seems to be in prospect, aggravated
by profteering, is believed to be al
most certain to result in intensifying
the feeling against the administra-
ton.

defense of George Maxwell, president
of the American Association of Au-
thors, Composers and Publishers who
is accused by the district attorneys
Office of having written 1876 poison
pen" letters in the last 20 years and
making seven women victims in these
letters in order to end affairs with
them.
Mrs. Gallatin, named with Mrs AL
Ian A. Ryan in brief filed yesterday
by Assist. Dist. Attorney Maloney op-

MED she ever had accused Maxwell.

ever, had taken to the district attor-
neys Office letter connecting her
name with that of Maxwell.
"Mr. Maxwell" said Mrs. Gallatin,
gave Mr. Gallatin and me every pos
sible assistance in trying to find the
writer of the letters.
II met Mr.. Maxwell at a dinner
party. That was in December. I did
not see him again for month, when
we met again at a dinner. Then he
had dinner with Mr.. Gallatin and me
and later we were his guests at dim
ner.

detectives. Inasmuch as Mr. Maxwel's
name was included in the letters we
very naturally consulted with him. He
gave us every possible assistance. He
was a most gentlemanly, iligh-minded
person"
Maloney In his brief contended that,
In attacking the character of women
in poison pen" letters he was alleged
to have been sent husbands, that the
ex-piano tuner sent himself a similar
note to make 1t appear that he too
was victim of the author.
Referring to the contention Of the
prosecutor that, Maxwell knew what
the letter to Gallatin contained despite
the fact that one page of he COM
munication was missing Mrs. Gallatin
said:
II believe something of the sort was
done by detectives, but know none
of the details of that incident. Mr..
Galatin and were convinced however
that Mr.. Maxwell knows no more
about the authorship of the letters
than we do"
The next action expected inN the
Maxwell case is the decision of Judge
Mcintyre of general sessions on the
motion of bis counsel to dismiss the
indictments. Judge Mcintyre has not
indicated when his decision might be
expected.
