cleswff of the Anvrlcnn consulate nt
Newctistlo-en-T.vne following cnncelln cnncelln
tlen eV the censuliir exequaturs by the
UrltlaiV. Government Is apparently for
an Indellnita period. The cenMilnte. Itj

f erred te the consulate nt Hull, which
It the nenrcl one te NencaMle.
, The action of the llrltlh Govern
ment Is Bald te lmvrc been taken en
the grounds thnt the two consular of-
nciais were ununiy ncune in senruing
business for the vessels' of the United
States Shipping Beard, and that at
tempts were made te coerce Ilrltlsli
subjects Inte using American vessels
Instead of British registry. Tills was
dented by Mr. Sinter In ain Interview
last night.
The British Government six weeks
age advised the American Government
it bad proof of nbtisa by Sinter and
Brooks of their positions, rend hnd de
cided reluctnntlv te witlidnmv their pa
pers. The Government stated nle that
It would defer action fur a month or
two, as the American Gtevcenment we

might decide te remeve tlv "officials it

was that It did net consider any of the

Government thereupon enforced Us de
cisions, j
f Cllw Specific Cases
In the IlrltNh communication te
Washington several specitia cases were
cited In support of (he charges of dis
crimination. One Brltlih traveler, In
n sworn statement, the note sets forth,
applied te Vice Censul Brooks for a
wsa ie go 10 uie united states m eiucr .(,pr,imcnt n right
JLi hR b.l"tl"'!; . MrHroeks' nc; 'which .In n parallel ef
?iln5. .ViM"?' :. .cy& tot itlf, namely, th.
pllcaut's real purpose and demanded a
letter of recommendation. The pros pres pros
pcctlve traveler secured the letter and
presented It te the vice consul, who
nevertheless seemed still reluctant te
grant the visa.
After some remarks about the supe
riority of the American liners, Mr.
Brooks Is nlleged in the stntement te
have said: "Yeu seem n decent sort
of ilmp, and I will ia jour passport
upon condition that jeu" go by the
I nlted States lines."
The traveler, he alleges, then went te
nn agent of tliefl United Stntes lines

In another case a woman testified Mr.
Brooks told her that any one who meant
eventual!) te Mltle in the United
States tlieuld give proof of geed will
by traveling in an American ship, and
that lie demanded te see her ticket be be be
fere issuing the visa.
"I felt after talking te Mr. Brooks,"
the woman testified, "that there urn tin
alternative except te purchase a ticket
ever that line, which J did; whereupon
the vice consul issued the visa."
Anether mnn who had taken out
first naturalization papers In the
United States nllezed he hnd fen nRkel
by Mr. Brooks why, as a prospective
eitiren of the United States and as a
man who was going te earn his living
In the United Stales, he did net show
his loyalty te the country by traveling
upon a 100 per cent American ship.

LEGLESS BEGGAR

Says in Interview
CHECK OUT OF HOTEL SUITE
New Yerk, Sept. 1. Mfe ns the wife
of n legless begg no, net beggar, pencil
seller who pushes himself nreund the
streets en n Utile roller platform bv
day, nnd returns at night te rooms at
the Hetel MarlboreiiBh. n trim nnlr of
artificial legs nnd evening clothes Is
nothing se extraordinary ns te Justify
importers asking questions, according te
irn. iiorten A. .Miilene, whose bus
band's picturesque dunl Identity, re
vealed bv proceedings te attach his
automobile, interested New Yerk yes
terday. The Mnlencs checked out of the
hotel last night.
Te her, ns he complained yestcrdnv
that the papers had get everything all
wrong, the story she told seemed te be
ns mitter of fact ns the history of a
country school tencuer.
Mrs. Mnlene is twenty-three, short
and nlumn. Her fnce is rennd and
serious nnd the ends of her molasscs-teffy-colored
bobbed hair hang with
nnlvc Htrnlghtncss from under her brown
hat.
"I never want te ice another re
porter ns lengns I live!" she declared.
"They said my husband was a beggnr.
He Is net n beggar. He sells pencils.
"Yes, he sells them en the street nnd
he doesn't wear his legs when he gees
out. But that isn't being n beggar, and
he doesn't make 5100 a day. Some
times he makes $10 a day, some
times $15.
"Then all that nbeut his Tuxedo. He
hasn't any Tuxedo. That Is, his is be
old -fashioned and has been remodeled
se many times it Isn't worth talking
about."- 1 .
"And tlie expensive artificial legs
they Paid he had. His father give him
these, nnd I knew they didn't cost
mere than $250, anyway. And his
father get him the automebllo, tee. Ne.
he didn't exactly give It te him. Horten
makes the payments, nnd I guess some
times his father makes some.
"And he hasn't nny chauffeur. David
Morrison, the man they said was his
rlmtiffntir liclns him with the cences
siens, puts up the tents nnd docs things
llke that, nnd of course sometimes he
drives the car and makes repairs en
It. Ne, he Isn't a partner; Horten pajs
mm.
"And we have no children. Se you
sees It's all wrong. ... , . .,
"Yeu see, Horten hadn't lest nis
legs when I met him. He was work
ing the fairs, nnd he came te Pitts
burgh, where I lived with my mother,
Airs. Sarah Dcmke. I used te de prac
tical nursing. We were married about
five years age. Then, three months
later, nt Kanova, O., he slipped under
n train and It cut off both hLs legs.
Works the Fairs'
Wi.1t. when he set well, he went
en working the fnirs, nnd I worked with
him. He sells dells nnd things, and I
sell sandwiches.
"All winter we ioiiew me rairs, ant
ing In the automobile from one city
te the next. AVc ought te be out new j
we would have started en the 28th If It
hadn't been for this.
According te Morrison, the little dif
ficulty ever the $100 bill of Lawyer
Henry Frank was settled yesterday
morning and Malenc's automobile will
be returned te turn teaay.
There Is no record nt the Department
of Licenses of nny peddler's license Is

THERE NEED BE
MO COAL SHORTAGE
THIS WINTER
The Anthracite shortage may prove a blessing in
disguise te many householders in the Eastern United
States.
Most householders of the Middle West, the Seuth,
arid the Far West, have never seen or used a ten of
Anthracite Ceal.
Most of the homes in the United States
and in Europe are heated with bituminous
or semi-bituminous coal.
The cooking is done with the same fuel.
Semi-Bituminous can be economically
burned in any stove or heater without
change of grates. '
It costs less per ten
It contains mere heat per ten
It makes a quicker fire
It contains less Ash
The annual capacity of the Bituminous Mines in
the U. S. is estimated at 750,000,000 tens.
The greatest combined consumption of anthracite
and bituminous in any one year was 600,000,000 tens.
II the railroads function there is an ample
supply of coal available for the coining winter
Ask your dealer about Webster or any
ether geed quality Semi-Bituminous Ceal
