Coal Prices Soar In Chicago, Local ‘ Dea,lers_D_on't Raise Coal dealers in Omaha are not in- creasing prices now in accordance with the boost in coal prices which went into effect in Chicago, Septem- ber 17. The dispatch from Chicago says that anthracite varieties of coal were increased 65 cents a ton, and the bi- tuminous Varieties 40 cents a ton. Most varietics of coal have been bringing $1 more since spring than they did last year, but the !nca! deal- ers have heard nothing of another advance just now. They are getting $11.75 for hard coal in Omaha uow, which is $1 more than they got last year, \ The Illinois coal, Therok=e coal and Sheridan coal are thice varicties of soft coal that have not advanced locally. Dealers say they would not be surprised to see these advance at any time, as they dec'ar™ they are paying from 25 to 50 cents more per ton at the mines than they did last year, Car shortage is at present blamed for the slow moving of eoal through- out the country. The coal men are more and more insistingy that their shipments come in box car, as much coal is lost when shipped in open cars. A great deal of it is stolen when it is allowed to stand in open cars in the yards for any length of time. The boxcars are largely in use for the moving of grain and other commodities. Police Discover Case Where White Proves to Be Black Police learned of a new wrinkle in the gentle art of picking pockets last night when Officers Walker and Sut- ton arrested Margaret Campbell, col- ored, of 535 South Thirteenth street, on a cHarge of robbing bibulous men. According to the police, Margaret, who is coal black, goes abroad with her face painted almost a chalk white. After she gets a victim interested, po- lice say, he robs him and then disap- pears to a convenient spot and re- moves the makeup. Her next step is to be in a place where ghe victim will find her when he comes along with detectives after making complaint, and in most cases, she is passed up as “too dark.” Her ruse, or rouge, failed last night, however, and she was jailed after being identified. Po- lice say they have sought in vain for months for a “white woman” of Mar- garet's description, in response to many complaints. Wife Asks $10,600 From Omaha Hushand Demanding the payment of $10,600 alimony, Mrs. Rebecca Alperson has filed suit for divorce against Jan, a Sixteenth street cigar merchaut. She alleges that her husband has property valued at $25.000, and ashs the cus- tody of the seven children, Cruelty is alleged. Grace Felder has filed a petition asking divorce from Joh., on the grounds of cruelty. She alleges that he drove her and her two infant chil- dren from their home in July. She also asks that a restraining order be issued preventing her husband from molesting her and the little ones.

That is a lit- tle more than one barrel of flour per capita per year. “This would make about three-quar- :iers of a loaf of bread per capita per ay. “The 200,000 people in Greater Omabha, therefore, consume 150,000 loaves of bread per day. I know that all the bakers of the city produce about 55 per cent of that amount. Therefore; the housewives of the city bake the other 45 per cent.” This fact being established beyond the,shadow of a doubt, the big baker went into a scientific explanation of bread baking. He talked about glu- ten and protein and starch and fat and moisture, But there was something else on his mind. To Abolish Five Cent Loaf. Finally the question of the threat- | ened increase in bread prices camd up. The bakers not only in Omaha, but all over the country, propose, you know, to abolish, discontinue and ren- der obsoléte the 5-cent loaf of bread. In fact, they not only propose it, but they ‘are going to do it, says this baker, “before snow flies.” The 5-cent loaf, they-say, is wasteful, inefficient and unprofitable. But what they fear nogt in carry- ing out this plan? Not their competitors, for they,| would nearly all agree on the plan. Not the invocation of a law to prevent the move. They fear.the biggest baker of all, a baker almost as big as all the other bakers put together. This baker's name is M Housewife, who, as stated above akes ne 'y half of alt the bread eaten in Omana. Mrs. Housewife's output will in- crease as the price of the baker’s out- put goes up.

Dan asked Captain Dempsey when he telephoned in his report, “Wheel it in!” commanded Demp- sey. So Lahey, rather than face pos- sible disciplining for insubordination, obeyed.
