Draft Too Strong
For Large Coal
In some houses there is too much draft for
Broken, Egg or Stove Coal.
Due to the strength of the draft the air is drawn
through the bed of fuel so fast that it really cools
the fire instead of increasing it.
When the wind is very high the trouble will be
intensified.
A smaller coal should be used to fill up the
chinks between the larger coal.
Pea Coal mixed with large coal will check the
draft hrough the bed of coals. You will get the re
quired amount of heat with less coal.
If you have trouble heating your house with
large coal try Egg and Pea mixed at $5.85 per 2000
lbs.

THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 27, 1916
Another League May Try
to Locate in Harrisburg
Harrisburg is wanted by many
leagues. A dispatch from New York
tells of plans to organize the Eastern
League. A conference was held on
Tuesday. The information from the
metropolis is as follows:
"While ,the International and other
minor leaguers were busily engaged in
selling and transferring franchises and
trying to form mergers and the like,
another collection of basketball men
met informally for the purpose of dis
cussing the formation of another
minor league in cities that are 'hun
gry for baseball' as one of them put
it.
"The cities proposed for the circuit
which may be called the Eastern
league are Jersey City, Paterson, Wil
mington, Trenton, Lancaster, York,
Altoona and Harrisburg.
" 'Dick' Carroll, who helped mate
rially to launch the Federal league, is
said to be deeply interested in the
founding of such a league.

Forty Are Injured When
Car of Powder Explodes
Blueflelds, Va., Jan. 27.—A car
loaded with black powder exploded In
the local yarus of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad last night, more
than 40 persons, several probably fa
tally, and causing heavy damage.
Three cars loaded with dynamite
are said to be on a siding not far from
the scene of the explosion, and an ef
fort was made to move these from the
path of the flames which broke out.
The explosion occurred about three
miles from the business section of
Blueflelds, but buildings here were
rocked and many plate-glass windows
were broken. The cause has not been
determined.

found a number of papers, notes and
letters in his clothing which proved
his identity and later a relative made
the Identification positive. Three of
the letters contained the phrases:
"The wages of sin Is death."
Pullman registered at the hotel
early last evening as "Mr. Jones and
j wife," telling a clerk that "Mrs.
| Jones" would join him about 8 o'clock,
j No one went to the man s room, how
i ever, and he was not seen again until
I his body was found on the sidewalk.
Skulls Crushed
! Pullman was seen leaving the
j Bronx apartment about four hours be
! lore the bodies of his wife and daugh
ter were found. The skulls of both
j women had been crushed In with a
'small hatchet which was found under
| a bed.
Friends said Pullman had come
here front Chicago for a reunion with
his family, and was believed to have
carried $5,000 in currency when he
I left the apartment. Police expressed
| the opinion, after an Investigation,
that the man had murdered the two
women after suddenly going insane.
One letter found in Pullman's clothes,
addressed to the "newspapers and
everybody" said:
Ta Ta
"Goodby, ta ta everybody. I guess
I will make good. 1 am going away
on a long journey. Ta ta again and
ta ta once more."
In a rambling, disjointed manner,
the writer advised the people "not to
worry over these two," as they were
now better off, and "there is no good
in making a fuss over something that
can't be helped." There was no
signature to the note.

WILSON SHIFTS ON
TARIFF BOARD
[Continued From First Page.]
! Mr. Wilson explained, caused him to
! switch his policy. He declared that
j now It is apparent that the United
States should "have a competent In
i strument of Inquiry along the whole
1 lines of the many questions affecting
j our foreign commerce."
Unchanged on Protection
j The President declared that his
j attitude with regard to protection Is
unchanged. The tariff board he advo
| cates, he said, would have nothing to
'; do with questions of policy, defining
only with the facts of the tariff situa
tion for the guidance of legislation,
j He declared that it would be folly
at this time or until "all the altered
i conditions are clearly understood," to
, tinker with the tariff, but that as soon
t as the facts are obtained action should
be taken to prevent unfair competition
between the United States and other
nations. It is evident that Mr. Wil
son desires early aclon to prevent the
"dumping' of foreign goods Into Am
erican markets In an effort to destroy
i American Industries.
Mr. Wilson's letter to Mr. Kltehln
was made public at the White House
last night, together with a letter wrlt

Harrisburg Is recognized as a good
baseball city. To date three managers
are seeking a berth here, in the event
of a New York State League franchise
being secured. "Jimmy" Sheckard ,the
former Chicago star was In the city
yesterday looking over the field.
Official announcement has been
made that Utica and Albany fran
chises of the New York State League
are for sale. No price has been fixed.
Reading, it is said, is already a bid
der foi Utica's interests. If this is
true, Harrisburg must take Albany.
However, it Is understood that the
League will conduct both sales.
Reading backers have secured an
option on the circus maxintus grounds
In that city. It will mean a saving in
expense at the go-off, as these grounds
are already in good shape.

"I Have Changed My Mind'"
"I have changed my mind," said
yesterday's letter, "because all the
circumstances of the world have
changed and it seems to me that in
view of the extraordinary and far
reaching changes which the European
war has brought about it is absolutely
necessary that we should have a com-
I petent instrument of Inquiry along
j the whole line of the many questions
which affect our foreign commerce.
"I have had In this change of mind
i no thought whatever of a change of
J attitude towards the so-called pro
tection question. That is neither here
nor there. A commission such as I
have suggested would have nothing to
do with theories of policy. They
would deal only with facts and the
facts which they would seek ought to
j be the actual facts of Industry and of
j the conditions of economic exchange
prevailing in the world, so that legls
j latlon of every kind that touched
thees matters might be guided by the
circumstances disclosed in its in
quiries.
"I dare say you feel as I do, that
it would be folly at this time, or until
all the altered conditions are clearly
understood, to attempt to deal with
questions of foreign commerce by
legislation, and yet having dealt dl
! rectly and clearly with the whole
, question of unfair competition within
| our own borders, it Is clear that as
| soon as we know the facts we ought
; to deal with unfair methods of com
: petition as between our own Nation
| and others, and this is only one of
the many things that we would prob
ably wish to deal with. The other
matters I have attempted to indicate
in my previous letter to you. I am
I glad to supplement that letter by his
I explicit statement of the consldera-
I tlons which have been most Influential
j with me.
"You will remember that In my
last message to Congress I fore
shadowed just the considerations
which were operating In my mind in
this matter. The passage to which I
refer was this:
" 'Many conditions about which we
have repeatedly legislated are being
altered from decade to decade, it is
evident, under our very eyes, and are
likely to change even more rapidly
and more radically in the days im
mediately ahead of us, when peace
No Pennsylvania Interschoiastic
basketball league games are scheduled
for Harrisburg this week. Two games
will be played to-morrow night. Cen
tral High meets Hassleton live at
Cathedral Hall, and Tech will tackle
Williamsport High on Tech gymna
sium floor. Each game promises
much interest.
Local organizations holding private
boxing shows, have called a halt on
"frame-ups." In the future a com
petent referee will be in charge, with
instructions to stop any exhibition
lacking merit. Sparring matches'are
not to the liking of fight fan's. Hoxers
after titles cannot afford to lay down.
"Jim" Coffey wants a chance at
Jess Willard before the champion
meets Moran. The Irish heavyweight
offers Willard $25,000 for a ten-round
go. Coffey evidently looks upon
Moran as a better man, and is anxious
to get little money before
the boy from Pittsburgh puts
a crimp in tho "cowboy's" future
chances.
I has returned to the world and the na
j lions of Europe once more take up
j their tasks of commerce and Industry
j with the energy of those who must
j bestir themselves to build anew. Just
! what these changes will be no one can
certainly foresee or confidently pre
dict. There are no calculable, be
cause no stable elements in the prob
(lem. The most we can do is to make
| what we have the necessary instru
j mentalities of information constantly
i at our service so that we may be sure
■ that we know exactly what we are
ideating with when we come to act, if
j it. should be necessary to act at all. Wo
j must first certainly know what it la
j that we are seeking to adapt ourselves
| to. I may ask the privilege of ad
dressing you more at length on this
i j important matter a little later in your
I I session.'
"I need hardly say that T appre
ciate very fully the motives by which
you are yourself actuated and it is
therefore with the greater confidence
that I lay the whole matter thus fully
before you. Congress has so much
to do at the present time that it is
I clearly Impossible that it should be
able to collect all the data which such
a commission would gather, and I feel
[that it would presently find such a
I commission indispensable to it."
| In his letter sent lo Mr. Kitcliln,
Monday, the President said:
"1 am convinced, as I suppose every
disinterested person must be, that it
would be a mistake to provide for
such a board with the Idea of serving
any particular theory of fiscal policy.
What we would need would be, above
all things, a board as much as pos
sible free from any strong preposses
sion in favor of any political party
and capable of looking at the whole
economic situation of the country
with a dispassionate and disinterested
scrutiny. I believe that we could ob
tain such a board if the proper legis
lation were enacted, and it is quit')
clear to me what the Held of its yi
quiry and its activities should he."
He outlined in detail his plans for
the work of such a board, including
the collection of tariff figures, investi
gation of the output of products at.
home and abroad, of the workings of
commercial treaties and preferential
agreement?, of imfiir »>°< hods of
competition, of "dumping" and of
scientific methods of creating new
industries and building up old ones."
