Ivan Narodny, and Dr. Thomiui Darlington, have been In ! formed that the young woman -will | arrive In Now York some time In l December to play a prominent part j In the work of the recently formed organization. Washington, Nov. 27.—Nothing j was known at the State Department I to-day regarding tho report that the former Grand Duchess Tatlana, daughter of the deposed Czar of Rus- I sia, soon will visit this country on a campaign to secure contributions for ! civilian rcdief in Russia. The disposi | tion of officials was to place little i credence In the report, j Tho heralded visit of the ex-Czar's daughter to the United States caused a tiurry at the Russian embassy and i American Red Cross. They would I welcome her as an aid in soliciting | funds for Russian civilian relief, if as reported, she truly escaped Siberia l by a fictitious marriage and doesn't i care about restoring the Csar's J throne. Use of Coal Cards Not to Be Resorted to at Present i The city will not use the coal cards now employed in some districts to equalize the distribution of coal. This announcement was made at the conclusion of the meeting between : the fuel commission and the dealers yesterday afternoon. The fuel ad ministration does not seem to think , that the coal situation warrants the use of the cards, while some of the t uealers think that the card system 1 will bo tho only means of avoiding acute discomfort in the city this win ter. Some of the dealers, however, assert that the cards could do no good unless an aocutc record of the amount of the coal already sold were ascertained. It is likely the ques tion will be taken up again. , GAVF. SIX SONS TO WAR: ONE IvIM.KD IN ACCIMCNT Chicago, Nov. 27.—Mr. and Mrs. Richard A.
