Confirmation of reports from Wash ington that the thousands of tons of toal held by jobbers and wholesalers will be made available for emergency distribution was received by Coal Ad ministrator John L. Kennedy Friday. The telegram requested Kennedy to hold off opening the new channels for fmergency coal stored by jobbers urther orders from Washington, -hich are expected within a day or JWo. The fuel administration's action in lllowing the dealers to take a small margin above the government price It the mines will mean a slight in trease in prices, declared Mr. Kfen ledy. Coal to Cost More. "While the new order may mean a lligjjtly lower price in some parts of the country, we are so situated here In Nebraska that I look for a slight Increase," said Kennedy. The order in effect means that the tmergency coal s tored by jobbers may be sold under, the guidance of the fuel administrator to large and small consumers. The fuel adminis trator will not fix a set price for this emergency coal. May Reduce Margin. Should it be apparent, however, that jobbers are demanding an unreason able price, the new order authorizes state dictators to reduce the margin. "I notice the offiaials in Washing ton are considering the possibility of giving preference to coal cars over all shipments, with the exception of food and war supplies," declared Ken nedy. "If that is carried through it will mean the solution of the coal question here in Nebraska. Cars have been one of our impassible bar riers and have stopped us time and again when the coal question seemed almost cleared up." Coroner's Jury Fails to Hi , Murder Blame "Thomas Thompson came to his death by an unknown person, and we recommend further investigation into the case." This was the coroner's verdict de livered Friday morning after several witnesses had been heard. Thompson was -found mysteriously shot through the head at his home, 4S17 South Sev enteenth; last Tuesday. " South Side police have been making every effort to clear up the mystery, but have so far been without tangible clews. A "mysterious woman," who is said to have visited Thompson's home at frequent intervals is being diligently searched for. Lights to Be Installed In Minne Lusa Soon Material for the electric lighting system ri the Minne Lusa addition. north of Miller park, has arrived and installation1 has commenced. The concrete posts that are to carry the lamps are being set and the wires drawn through them. It is expected that the lights will be turned on be fore the first of next month.

The young man was traveling agent for a sewing machine company and while there are no details of the accident, it is presumed that it occurred while he was in thje country. HARRIES PRAISES Y.M.C. AJAR WORK Omaha Man, Now Brigadier General, Calls "Y" Supreme of Agencies Operating for Soldiers' Welfare. E. E. Calvin, president of the Union Pacific, is in receipt of the fol lowing telegram concerning Young Men's Christian association army work from Brigadier General George H. Harries at Deming: "If the people of Omaha had a real- izingVseiise of even a fifth of the good work which has been and is be ing 'done by the army Young Men's Christian association they would give as they have never yet given to any cause. Of all the agencies that are operating in behalf of Vbe mental, moral and physical welfare of our soldiers the Young Men's Christian association is supreme. "Everywhere there is eagerness to subscribe to company mess funds, which, because of the abundant gov ernment ration, are comparatively un important. "Why then should there be any slackhess on the part of relatives and friends of. soldiers when the Young Men's Christian association needs funds with which to provide the na tion's fighting men with nonpartisan, nonsectarian facilities, amusements,, education, physical training and clean moral atmosphere? Parents Owe Gratitude. "Parents of many Nebraska sol diers at 'this camp owe the army Young Men's Christian . association more than they may ever know. "This invaluable institution has done more to make real men out of unpromising material and to spread the doctrine of decent living than would readily be believed by thou sands who have no knowledge of its unselfish and efficient industry, but we know. "If the Young Men's Christian as sociation does not receive the earnest dollar-giving support of all Omaha (without regard to creed) then we must conclude that Nebraska is heed less as to the true welfare of its sol- "dier sons. "Tears and cheers have their tem porary, value, but this is the time for practical patriotism." U. S. Marshal Flynn. Enjoys Kansas Hospitality United States Marshal Flynn be lieves "there isn't any use in a man getting the big-head." He was down in a. Kansas village recently visiting his brother-in-law, who took him around over the village and showed him off to everybody. One old chap was extremely pleasant. "Wal," he said, "I'm glad to meet ye, marshal, Hev ye met.our mar shal here yit?" Mr. Flynn in a regretful tone re plied that he hadn't had the pleasure of meeting the village marshal. In fact, he came away with6ut having that pleasure, the marshal in question sleminc durinc the dav and not going on duty until the Omaha marshal had left town. 4 Shop Early For the Boys 'Over There' CANDY Froth Shipment J)aily. 80c Melba Chocolate Creams per lb., at... 49c We are agents for Original Allegrtti Chocolates, Huyler's Bon Bons and Chocolates and Lowney's Assorted Chocdlates.
