Emergency Anthracite To
Be Sold in Ton Lots; Ped?
dler Trade to Get Relief
Publie rebellion again?t the high
price of coal, coupled with the govern?
ment investigation ?mo alleged profit?
eering, produced two impi rtant results
yesterday. There was a fall in specu?
lative prices of $1 a ton, with further re
auctions in sight, and the formation of |
a committee of antl rac le operators to
Insure an adequate supply of coal nt '.
moderate price to the city's poorer con- :
gumers.
These developments were coincident
with the announcement tbrit a large '
number of operatives of the Depart-,
ment of Justice flying squadron had (
arrived in the city to investigate coal
prices under direction of Armin W. ;
Riley.
The anthracite committee headed by
John F. Birmingham, of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Coal Company,
met yesterday, in cooperation with the '
Department of Justice agents, to formu- ;
late a plan to supply coal on r weekly
ha*;a in one-ton lots to the poorer con?
sumer. According to a loca! govern?
ment official, this is the answer of the
coal operators to the threat of Fedora!
control made by Senators Calder and
Edge unless the coai men solved their
problems before December 6.
Plans for Distribution
The committee will hold another
meeting to-day, when it is hoped th'
nlans of distribut on thri ugh a com?

Bellevue Patient May
Have Murdered Wate? !
?Man Answering Description of
Slayer at Hospital on Day
After Hotel Crime j
Police detectives investigating the .
murder o\ Leeds Vaughan Waters at I
the Plymouth Hotel in West Thirty- i
eighth .Street a week ago discovered ,
yesterday that on November 4, the day !
that Waters was beaten to death, a ;
man suffering from injuries which
might have been received in such a '
Btruggle called at Bellevue Hospital
for treatment.
Dr Alexander Timm, who was on duty !
in the receiving office of the hospital ,
at the time, said that the patient wore i
no underclothing.
A suit of underwear was found in the
room which Waters shared with the
man who killed him. The initials on |
the underclothing do not correspond!
to the name given by the man who !
called at Bellevue Hospital for treat- ;
ment, but descriptions of the man who |
accompanied Waters to his room and
of thi' Bellevue Hospital patient are
.-im i lar.
Tlie man left the hospital the day
after his arrival there, against the ad- !
vice of physicians, ' going away in a
taxicab with a woman who he said '
was his wife. After he had gone an
elderly woman and two men called at
the hospital to inquire about him.

Canal Project
Across Jersey
Is Urged Here
New York Organizations In?
dorse the Plan to Link
This City and Philadel?
phia With Waterway:
May Cost $40,000,000

nient; Trade Boom Seen|
Approval of the plan to build a canal i
across New Jersey connecting New
York and Philadelphia was voiced at a
rr.eeiing held yesterday at United States
Engineering Headquarters, 39 White?
hall Street. Various New York and
New "Jersey organizations had repre?
sentatives at the meeting, and speeches
vere made favoring the project, speak?
ers comparing it to the Panama Canal
In industrial importance.
Another public meeting will be held
to-morrow at Philadelphia, the board
of review, in Washington, having au- I
thorized both meetings to ascertain the.
present urgency of the project and to
find out the approximate cost.
Colonel J. C. Sanford, United States
Engineering Corps, presided yesterday,
assisted bv E. B. Snell, assistant engi?
neer of the 2d District. W. H. Schoff,
i secretary of the Atlantic Deep Water
I way3 Association, introduced the gpeak
I ers. General George W. Goethals spoke
| for the New York and New Jersey Dock
I Commission, and Congressman Cleary,
! of Brooklyn, and Murray Hulbert, New
i York City Commissioner of Docks,
1 spoke on the advantages of completing :
! this most important link in the inter- j
coastal curial system. President J. ?
i Spencer Smith of the New Jersey Board
, of Commerce and Navigation spoke for
: that organization.
Hulbert Indorses Plan
Dock Commissioner Hulbert said that !
? Hew York, in endeavoring to procure
; a thirty-foot channel in Jamaica Bay,
i had met sume opposition from New
; Jersey, but was whole-heartedly behind
; this project, which was altogether in
I its neighbor state. He said the canal
! was looked upon as a means of bring
: ing in produce and reducing rates on
the railways which were brought into
? competition.
It is figured that the original esti
1 mates of the cos? of the canal, which
i were about $20,000,000, probably will be
doubled under present conditions, hut
i the canal will pay even at those figures,
i according to evidence introduced at the
meeting.
The canal will complete the inter
! coastal canal system, making an inland
waterway from Boston to Beaufort, N. C.
The New Jersey link will be 113.7 miles
! long, The present, estimates call for
in 12-foot channel, but this will be
deepened eventually, so that large ves?
sels can be taken through the canal.

Bedtime Stories
Sammy Jtiy Is Most Polite
By Thornton W. Burgess
Politeness pains where rudeness losen;
So, wise is he who this way chooses.
??Sammy Jay.
Sammy Jay is accounted one o? the
smartest of all the little people in the
Green Forest. He is smart in more
ways than one. No one can be more
rude and unmannerly than he, and no
one can be more polite. He. learned
when quite young that politeness usual?
ly pays,, so when there is something he
wants to gain lie is politeness itself.
Sammy, hidden in the top of a tall
hemicck tree, kept so still that Rusty
the Fox Squirrel, sitting with, his head
out of the doorway of his new home,
winch was in a hollow dead limb of a
big maple tree close by, didn't see or
hear aim at all. For a long time Rusty
ai I'aare looking this way and look
ing that way, suspiciously. Then, hav
ing made up h s mind that no one was
near, he came out and nimbly ran up
to a comfortable seat in a Crotch of
the tree half way to the top. He had
come lut to get a little fresh air be?
fore ret ?ring for the i ight
my Jay almost gave himself away
!; ga ping with surprise when he saw
h i\v big Rusty was, but ho choked
. lal gi p back and waited until Rusty
was comfortably seated with his back
l.i the trunk of the tree
"Good evening, Mr. Stranger," said
. most pi I. ' ty,
K : ty the Fox Squirrel looked
; u tied. He v, ts startled. But he
. pi his seat. He knew that voice, and
e knew that Sammy Jay could do him
arm.
"I.d evening," lie replied rather
ungraciously, .-taring o. er at the top
of the tall hemlock tree.
S; iniiiy flew out where he could he
"Welcome to the Green Forest,"
said he. "Are von passing through, or
a . ? you come IO stay ?"
"That," replied Rusty, still un
". ? - usly, "is wholly my own affair."
"True enough. True enough. o?
course," replied Sammy. "Excuse rue
foi appearing to pry into your affairs.
I wouldn't do that for the world. It
n busint ss of '-Di " 1 asl ed merely
because we who live here in the Green
thin! ; re is no placa like it in
? ie great world, and 1 thought that
if v 3u are to live her?- we woi
ibors, and 1 hat would he \ erj a ce,
very nice indeed. It as <; very nice
neighborhood." Sammy said this in
the pleasantest and mast polite way
yon can imagine,
'??' first .- . picion had filled Rusty's
eyes, but nov it disappeared. Sammy
J y was such a po te w that it was
"Welcome to the Green Forest,"
said he.
quite impossible to think ill of him,
Rusty began to chuckle.
"You tell a different story from my
small cousin, whom 1 met this morn?
ing," said he. "From him I gathered
that this isn't a nice neighborhood at
?all. By the time he was through tell?
ing mc of all the enemies of the Squir?
rel family who live in the Green For?
est it seemed to me that this was
about as bad a neighborhood as ever
1 have heard of." Rusty's eyes
twinkled.
Sammy Jay laugheed. "That sound?
like Chatterer the Red Squirrel." said
he. "Yes, sir, that sounds just like
Chatterer. But you have noticed that,
despite all those dangers, Chatterer
lives here himself, and you know he
doesn't have to. He could leave if he
wanted to. I wonder why he told you
that."
"Probably he wanted me to know the
warst at once," replied Rusty, his eyes
twinkling more than ever.
Sammy saw that twinkle and under?
stood it. His own eyes twinkled as he
>? d: "That mus! have, been it.
( hatti rer is very thoughtful. Yes, sir,
your sma?l cousin, Chatterer the Red
Squirrel, is very thoughtful?of him?
self. 1 wander"- Sammy paused.
"What do you wonder?" asked Rusty
"1 wonder if he mentioned fat hick?
ory nuts," said Sammy Jay, looking
very thoughtful.

The next story: "Rusty Asks a Ques?
tion."
New York will be eight hours for '
transportation of freight, against more
than twenty hours, figuring in present ;
delays by rail due to congestion and
other causes.
Lower Freight Rates Seen
Freight rates will be lowered, and )
there will be no possibility of a food i
shortage in New York due to bad ?
weather or strikes. Water will be fur?
nished from the higher levels of the
Delaware River and power will be gen?
erated for lighting and operating the
machinery of the canal. The inter
coastal system will eliminate the dan^
gers and expense of outside sea traffic.
It? ten years there were 5,500 disasters
on the Atlantic seaboard, with a loss
of 2,000 human lives and a cargo and
ship loss of $33,000,000, all of which the
intercoastal canal system is expected
to obviate. The completion of the New
York-Phiiadelphia link will open up
2,?00 miles of canal for New York trade.
New Jersey is to provide the right
of-way for the projected canal and the
expense of construction is to be borne
by the F?d?rai government.
Routes for Motorists
To the Football Games
Several Roads Available for
Those Bound for Princeton
and Philadelphia
Motorists going to the football game
at Princeton to-morrow will not, after
all, be able to use the main route from
New York City. That route, which is
by the way of Franklin Park, just
south of this city, to Kingston, to
Princeton, is closed during the con?
struction of a concrete roadway. One
possible route from New York to
Princeton is from Newark to Somer
ville, to Bellemead, to Harlinger, to
Princeton.
Another route is from New Bruns?
wick going out in Commercial Avenue
to George's Road, about five miles out
on that road to a sign reading "To
Princeton"; thence to the right on the
road leading to Monmouth Junction;
thence to Kingston, where (he turn to
the left into the Trenton Turnpike is
to be avoided, this being also under
construction, but, continuing from
Kingston straight ahead for half a mile
to a sign, "Detour to Princeton," and
thence to Princeton.
A third route is fror.. New Brunswick
I straight out George's Road to C-ran
bury, then to the right, ..t a sign read
' ing "To Princeton," into a road leading
i directly to Princeton. This third route
I is longer, but by better roads.
? Those hound for Philadelphia, where
? Pennsylvania and Dartmouth are play
? ing on Saturday, will take the. right
i turn beyond the sign "To Princeton"
after passing through Cranbury, and
continue straight through Edinburg
? and Mercerville t. Trenton, entering
: via State Street and passing on the
i left the State Capitol. Just, beyond a
! left turn is made to the Calhoun Street
! bridge crossing the Delaware Rivei
i into Pennsylvania. The route now con
' tinucs through Fallsin?ton, Oxford
! Valley and Bustleton into the North?
western or Roosevelt Boulevard, lead
; imr into North Broad Street, a shorl
: distance above thei North Philadelphii
! station of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Probably the best way for the stran
' ger is to continue down North Broai
' Street to its end at the City Hall
j keeping to the right around the west
i side of that grent building, and start
? ing down South Broad Street, crossinf
< (%<>stunt Sti-ppta to Walnut, Streei
Turning right on Walnut Street, keep
straight ahead to and across the
Schuylkill River to either Thirty-sec?
ond, Thirty-third or Thirty-fourth
street, whore a'left turn will bring one
to Franklin Field. (Or continue in
Waliv.it Street to the diagonal left turn
on Woodland Avenue, running a short
distance " along Woodland Avenue to
the University of Pennsylvania build?
ings.) The route here suggested
through Philadelphia is throughout in
accordance with the "one-way-street"
traffic regulations of that city.

Horse Show Season
Demands the Smartest
of Modes
The opening of the Horse
Show week in New York
means, of course, the open?
ing of a brilliant fashion
week, too; the Horse Show
gives occasion for so many
different types of costume
?from the very tailored
costume to the afternoon
costume exquisitely ap?
pointed, and for the per?
fect evening toilette, as
gorgeous as ever appeal's
at the opera.
This is a phase of the
Horse Show as important
as the booted and spurred
side?the part that lends
the brilliant background
for the sleek, shining horses
and the immaculate tai?
lored riders.
THE WOMEN'S FASH?
ION SALONS are in the
midst of a wonderful col?
lection of costumes of
every type, completed in
spirit with the Horse Show
season.
EVENING WRAPS
Of the most enchanting
materials that have ap?
peared for many seasons?
of gorgeous metal brocades
combined with tulle, shim?
mering velvets and fine
furs. The color combina?
tions of these wraps are
really remarkable. Some
have the cool quiet of a
Japanese obi cloth, others
are flamboyant and vivid.
Prices are very modo
fate,
Ranging from $300 to
$595.
* ? *
The black velvet after?
noon and evening gowns so
correct for this type of
wear are in many types in
the Gown Salons.
Afternoon gowns, trim?
med with exquisitely ap?
plied jet beads, are beaded
with frosted crystal and
jet. Gown of broadcloth
combined with metallic lace,
or with fine embroidery.
Evening gowns of se?
quins, velvet and tulle?
dark and vivid colors.
Prices conservative.
TAILORED SUITS
The very smart tailored
suits for afternoon wear,
developed in silk duvetyn
