Mixed Pea Coal
$5.35
Sometimes Nut Coal is too large for your range.
It makes no difference how you have it mixed the
stove doesn't want to keep a good, regular fire. One
time it is too hot and the next time you have no fire
at all.
Before you condemn the stove try some of our
Mixed Pea Coal at $5.35.
We make this mixture out of one-half Wilkes-
Barre Pea and one-half Lykens Valley Pea.
Besides the big difference in price it may be that
the smaller size is just the kind of coal your stove
requires.
Remember every dealer's coal is "not alike and if
you want good results we advise you to send us your
order.

SMITH FIRES REMARKS
IT WITNESSES
C*a«liu4 From First Pas*.
to me. Suddenly he jumped from his
cot, grabbed a piece of broom stick
said: 'l'll beat hell out of you.' "
The warden said the information he
lias about Smith principally is what he
was told by other prison attochos.
Thereupon Judge McCarrell sought to
know from John Fox Weiss, of Smith's
counsel, why witnesses who are better
informed as to Smith's alleged pecu
liarities "are not being called firstt"
"We believe in putting the worst
foot forward first," replied Mr. WeißS.
'' Evidently, t'hen, you do not be
lieve in "The worst is yet to come,' "
added the court.
Tells of Smith's Actions in Jail
A witness who said he did nine
months in prison and as a "runner"
looked after Smith's wants, declared
he had trouble "getting Smith to take'
a bath;" that Smith would not use
cutlery at meal time, preferring to
reach into his soup with his fingers;
that he sat in one position upon the
bunk for hours at a time; that he
would not hold a conversation; took
nothing from the runners unless he
could re-ach it without getting off his
bod and that frequently he stood in
a corner with his face to the wall as
if playing "hide and seek."
Later the witness said: "I frequent
ly asked him what he was in for, and
'he always replied 'for shooting old
(man Bush.' Then I would ask him
whether he did shoot the old man and
his reply would be 'that's for them
to find out.' Once I succeeded in get
ting Smith to the bathroom. He did
not want to leave," the runner added.
"If he started washing his ami he
would keep that up until I told him
to stop or until I would pull his arm
away," ho continued. "The only way
we could attract his attention to any
particular thing or object was to yell
at him just as vo<u would to a dog."
Dr. Jwmes was on the stand for an
hour yesterday afternoon. The physi
cian was directed to be ready to sub
mit himself for cross examination to
day.
WILLIAM STROUSE RETIRES
FtJIM THE "GLOBE" FIRM
Continued From First Page.
cessful clothing business at 14 North
Third street, and his brother, Ben.
Strouse. The new firm started in a
modest way at 322-324 Market street,
where it has successfully continued
since that time, growing larger year
after year.
As the business increased the store
was enlarged from time to time until
the entire building, four stories high,
extending from Market street to Straw
berry street, was occupied.
On Christmas eve in 1911 the entire
building and contents were destroyed
by fire. With characteristic enterprise
the Messrs. Strouse proceeded at once
to rebuild and in a remarkably short
time a new and much finer building
and a larger and better store took the
place of those destroyed bv the flames.
While tho enterprising members of the
firm were building up a big business
they were just as successful in winning
the confidence and respect of the public.
Both have taken an active part in mat

ZAPATA ENTERED
CAPITAL SUNDAY
Former Rebel Bandit Restores Confis
cated Tram Oar Properties and Also
Property of an American Taken by
Constitutionalists , •'
By Associate)t Press,
Washington, Dec. I.—President Wil
son spoke a word of warning to the pub
lic to-day regarding reports of tho sit
uation in Mexico. At his weekly con
ference with the Washington corres
pondents the President declared there
were many persons in Mexico as well as
the United States who found it to their
advantage to have trouble in the south
ern republic and were interested in giv
ing out false reports of the situation.
Dispatches to-day from American
Consul Silliman in Mexico City report
ed tho arrival in person of General Za
pata Sunday. The general at once re
stored the tram car properties, config;
cated by th© constitutionalists, to the
owning corporation and restored prop
erty of an American named Hill which
also had been taken.
General Angeles arrived that same
day with the advance guard of Villa's
army and later Zapata left for Puebla.
The city was quiet and orderly, Mr.
Silliman reported, and the diplomatic
corps was being consulted on measuros
of safety.
Communication between the capital
and Vera Cruz was restored late yester
day. American Consular Agent Carotli
ers, reporting under date of Sunday
from Tula, a short distance north of
Mexico City, where he was with Villa,
said preparations were making for an
attack on General Gonzales, a Carranza
chief who was reported to be at Pa
chuca.
General Zapata has assured the Unit
ed States government through Amer
ican Consul Silliman that foreigners
will be given every protection and that
his troops will continue to preserve or
der.
The killing of four Spaniards upon
the entry of the Zapata forces was also
reported to-day. Zapata lias conferred
with the Spanish Minister and, it is
said, gave assurances that full protec
tion will be accorded Spaniards in the
future.
The only serious disturbance was the
firing of several shots by Zapata's sol
diers at a fire engine which wont charg
ing down one of the principal streets.
Zapata explained to Mr. Silliman that
his men mistook it for an assault of
the enemy and he regretted thalt some
of the firemen wero killed by the acci

MONROE DOCTRINE IS DEAD
So States Melbourne Paper in Referring
to Views Recently Expressed by
Former President Taft
Melbourne, Australia, Dec. 1, Via
London, 1.30 P. M.—The Melbourne
"Age," referring to the views of for
mer President Taft concerning the Mon
roe Doctrine expressed recently at
Montclair, N. J., and particularly hit
statement that the United States would
not be compelled by the terms of the
doctrine to intervene if Canada should
be attacked by Germany, baa this to
say:
'' If this interpretation represents
the views of the government of the
United States, an event of first rate
importance to the entire civilized world
has taken place. If the Wilson govern
ment shares Mr. Taft's opinion, it is
very clear that Monroeism is a thing
of the past and that the United States
has abdicated the position she has been
jealously guarding for a period extend
ing upwards of 80 years."
In his address at Montclaiir, N. J.,
last Friday nighit, Ex-President Taft
said that while the landing of troops
in Canada by eneanics of Great Britain
would not constitute a violation of the
Monroe Doctrine, any effect to estab
lish a new form of government in case
of victory would violate Jftiat policy.
Mr. Taft said: V
"All that the Monroe ~"i)octrine|
would consistently require of lis woul-j
be to insist that when the war is AyeM
if Germany were successful, she
not take over the territory of Canada
and overthrow her government and es
tablish her own there, or take any op
pressive measures whidh would have a
similar effect. But we would not ob
ject to her exacting an indemnity jf
she were the victor."
