KENNEDY SAYS
COAL MAY COST
MORE !N OMAHA
New Order May Have That Ef
fect; Emergency Coal Held
by Jobbers is to be
Sold.
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.
Bert Sherry Killed by
An Auto at Peoria
Joe Sherry has been called to
Teoria, 111., by a telegram announcing
the death of his nephew, Bert
Sherry, who Thursday was killed in
an automobile accident there. 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.
