HARD COAL SUPPLY
VERY LOW IN CITY
Dealers Do Not Expect to
Catch Up Before January
at Least.

Far behind on it's normal Shipment
of anthracite coal, Washington stands
little chance of catching up before
January, even If the hard coal strike
were settled today. Buckwheat ana
pea coal are the only sizes available
for purchase from dealers, and little
pea coal is to be had. Dealers long
ago exhausted their available supplies
OF the larger sizes.
To increase public knowledge OF
the use Of the anthracite sub
stitutes. the anthracite board has
instituted a public information serv-
ice. +. f.. Magee, engineer for the
board, has alreary inaugurated this
service and is preparing to open
n school for coal dealers so they may
inform their customers as to the
proper way TO burn substitutes. In
addition. survey Of the available
supply Of anthracite substitutes on
hand at railroads in the District of
Columbia is being taken by the Coal
Merchants Board OF Trade so the
entire local situation may he can
vassed insofar as household require
ments are concerned.
Little prospect of immediate arhi-
tration OF the anthrac cite strike is
seen at the Department Of .abor,
whose agents are in the anthracite
regions OF pennsylvania ana rel orr
no change in the strike situation.
Hugh l.. kerwin. director Of concili-
alton, said one of the concilil1ors
had visited Ave coal towns in the
past few days and had seen no indi-
cation of change. The agent said
people ia the coal towns tnke the
strike calmly and do not ak OF a
resumption OF work.
Coal dealers here. with bins rae
lily exhausted. are informing their
customers that there is no prospect
Of an Immediate break and are ad
vising the use of biturninous or pre-
pared substitutes.

being done to aid them in grasping
the essentials required in the natural

impression that the opponents to the

but are DESTROYS Of defeating the i'm

deplore the fact that persons found

SAINT of the university a the nine

League of Masonic Clubs in Saratoga
Springs. y. y. last August.
According 10 Charles A. MaCHenry
president of the league. the project
of endowinG this branch of education
is meeting with unhoped-for success
Already have subscriptions been re.
ceived from England. Scotland anu
other countries, while still others have
wished us god speed.

lions at the rate of 81 per capita
among the membership of the Masonic
Clubs throughout the United States
There are 635 such clubs, with a mem
hership of slightly over l75. 600. one

them from annoying and interfering
with the conduct of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank and against the Treas
ury's retaining the $1,000 fine.
Mr.. Allies took charge of the banks
fight under the legal charge of Frank
J. Hogan. who filed the document, in
the case.
Stock Selling Charged
Among other charges advanced
against the Riggs National Bank was
that OF buying and selling stocks.
Mr.. Glover w. j. Father and
Henry H. Father. president. vice
president and cashier of the institu-
ton. made affidavit that the bank
had not bought stock, whereupon an
indictment was obtained against the
officials named for perjury.
After many witnesses had testi-
fed at the trial. which began May
%. 1916. to the good chara cter of
the defendants and they had estab
lished that the bank had purchased
stock on order only, the jury re-
turned a verdict Of NOT guilty after
being out a few minutes.
At this time the 20-year charter of
the Riggs National Bank was fast APP
preaching it's limit, and the bank Off
Gals were greatly worried over the
prospect for a renewal. The trial for
perjury and acQuittal, it was believed
at the time, paved the way for the ex
tension of the charter, which was
granted some months later, on the
withdrawal of all suits and the prep
aration of a document by the directors
of the Riggs promising ito be good
hereafter promise which they re-
peated after the charter was granted
with the addenda that they had al
ways been good.
Before obtaining their new charter,
Mr.. Allies. acting for his bank, had
secured an option on the charter and
made arrangements to buy the Nc
Lachlan Banking Corporation. which
title would have played a part in the
and the organization of a new Riggs
probably as trust company.
Commissioners Show Regret.
The Board of Commissioners Of the
District, through it's president, Cuno
H. Rudolph, voiced regret upon learn
ing today Of the death of Mr.. Allies.
After expressing the sentiment Of the
board, Commissioner Rudolph added
this personal statement:
II knew Mr.. Allies for great many
wears and regarded him as a. valued
citizen. He was a lovable character,
and it was always a pleasure to work
with him on various committees from
time to time. His death Is distinct
loss both to the City Of Washington
and to the banking fraternity"
