COAL IN PLACE OF WOOD
LED TO BRISK BUSINESS

When steamboat navigation first
opened on the upper Mississippi,
all the boats used wood to fire
their boilers. Many settlers, who
had tracts of timber along the riv-
er, increased their incomes by
selling cords Of oak wood to the
packet companies. The price was
$3.50 a cord.
However, in 1871, according to
the Illinois Writer'S Project, WPA,
a coal mine was opened above
the LIE Claire Rapids at Rapid
City, and it did a flourishing bust
ness supplying the steamboats,
with coal. The price was eight
cents bushel or So ton deliver
ed on the boat.

Provost Marshall Believes Hall Murdered

End Prostitution

WASHINGTON, May Ian
P)-White G-Men will patrol
1eighborhoods Of camps with
thousands Of Negro soldiers, if the
bill introduced in the house last
week by Mr.. May is enacted. The
bill seeks Ito prohibit prostitu-
ton within such reasonable dis
tances of military or naval es-
adjustments as the secretaries Of
war and of navy shall determine
to be needful to the efficiency,
health and welfare Of the army
and navy"
Violations of this act shall be
punishable by a fine Of not more
than $1,000 or by Imprisonment
for not more than one year, or
by both such fine and imprison-
ment.
The bill was reported unani-
mously by the committee on mill
tary affairs to which it had been
submitted and had the support
q both the war and navy depart
ments and many civic organiza-
tons and practically all health in
all states.
The bill now goes to the SEN
ate, where it is expected that some
changes will be made in it be-
fore being enacted into a law.
One Of the chief objections to the
bill is the power given the ar
resting authorities, and it is felt
that too much power will fall in
to the hands Of agencies which
discriminate against Negroes.

A bipartisan movement to scrap
President Roosevelt's emergency
monetary powers developed in the
Senate Banking Committee yester-
day, and its leaders planned to call
on Chairman Mariner S. Eccles of
the Federal Reserve Board for testi-
mony in their support
The board and the presidents Of

tain the 20O0,000.0OO sterilization
fund now is pending before the
Banking Committee.
Taft Opposes Continuance.
Senator Taft, Republican. of Ohio,

legislation to wipe out the other
special monetary powers. He added
that he would not object, however,
to continuing the sterilization fund,
but thought Congress should write
some restrictions regarding its use
Senator Adams, Democrat. of
Colorado, another banking commit

that he was very much opposed to
leaving this devaluation authority
hanging up in the air"
That power makes the whole
economic setup uncertain" he
added.

continuing the devaluation and sta

In a multitude of social factors.
The relatively high crime rate IN

Youthful Offender Big Problem.
The problem of the youthful Of

grand larceny by those in the $3.50
group, and most aggravated as
saults are accounted for by the
group over IS. Juvenile offenses
have been increasing steadily since
1888, the association says.
Calling attention to the fact that
the Police Department Crime Pre-
vention Bureau has but two officers
assigned to the work OF dealing
with youngsters from II to ID, the
association repeated former recon-
mendations that this force be ex-
banded. The necessary activity in
this field, the association said, would
fall into four categorieS: 1nvestl-

referral of juveniles to community
agencies; creation of Juvenile pa
