rr Sports and Pictures THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE Women and Children NEW YORK CITY, THURSDAY, JULY 11. 1918. 7 An Interesting Frceport Family One of Brooklyn's Proud Mothers PRICE AT DELIVERY IS LEGAL COAL RATE 'i3l i i5i Gunnison Makes Ruling in Pro-test by Consumer. Morris Kirschbaum, president of the Brooklyn Window Shade Company, complained today to The Eagle because the Hill Coal Company of 52 North Ninth street had raised the price of an order of coal after accepting payment at the lower charge. He said that on June 8, at the request of Edward A.

Hill, president of the company, he mailed a check for $53.70 in payment for six tons at (8.95 a ton. with the understanding that it would be delivered within a week. After that he heard nothing further about the matter until Monday, when he succeeded in getting Mr. Hill on the phone and wus informed that the price bad advanced 40 cents a ton. Mr.

Kirschbaum contended that as his check had been accepted in payment the transaction was closed and Mr. Hill had no right to raise the price. Mr. Hill said yesterday that he had taken $8,000 on advance orders, as he did not want to take any chances of C. O.

P. orders, as there was little profit under present conditions. "We are still delivering April orders," he said, "and doing the best we can for everyone. We can't stand any losses under present conditions and we do not set the prices. If any customers want their money back they can get it.

We do not promise to mako any deliveries in a specified time, no matter what any one says." Frederic E. Gunnison, the coal administrator, said today that Mr. Hill was right and that all coal was delivered at the price at the time of delivery, whether it had been paid for when ordered or not. Dealers, he said, were allowed such a small margin that this was only fair. If the Government raises the price or tho freight rates they must raise their prices accordingly, ho declared.

MME. BOTCHKAROVA CONFERS WITH WILSON Washington, July 11 Madame Marie Botchkarova, colonel In the Russian Army and former commander of the famous woman Battalion of Death, discussed Russian questions with President Wilson yesterday at the White House. The conference was carried on through an interpreter. Does the Kaiser Hope to Kidnap President Wilson: Editor Rronklyn Dally Eagle: I nolo what l.i said in the issue o( your paper of July 8, 191 In refer-enre to the candidacy of Mrs. Ida Sammis for member of Assembly for tho Second Assembly District of Suf.

folk County, and as my name Is men. tloncd in that article. I ask the cour. tesy of your valued columns for reply. The article states that as chairman of the Committee on Excise I opposed temperance legislation, and 1 quote herewith a record of my vote on the most Important bills that havd been passed In tho five years thai I have hud the honor of ropreuentlnrt the district In the Assembly: Chapter 227 of Laws of 1016.

Ex. tends to police olllccrs and consta. American Convoy Entering Brest Harbor 4 outlet to the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic. Archangel is about 300 miles from Petrograd. Kola Is nearly as far again; but the new railway to the latter port Is well built and of broad gauge, while that to the older town Is only three feet in breadth and badly constructed.

The Finnish menace to this BOO miles of railway is very grave, however, and if the revolting Finns have any troops, they can cut the- line of communication, between Kola and the Russian capital. The appearance of a French-British-American fleet in Kola Bay will be a revelation to the inhabitants of that small, sleepy fishing village of 1,000 inhabitants. Whatever is done about getting the Allied marines to Petrograd must occur before October, when snows begin and soon render the route Impassable. The utter isolation of such troops, after reaching Petrograd, is an appalling thought What will become of them if the Russians go over entirely to the Germans and Austrians? Meanwhile, Great Britain, the United States, France, Japan and China have vessels of war In Vladivostok harbor, on the extreme eastern coast of Siberia. Matters are coming to a focus regarding Allied intervention In Russia and the world will soon know whether telegrams coming from Moscow declaring that the Bolshevik! will throw themselves into tho arms of Germany are true or false the work of German agents.

The saving of Russia from herself promises to be quite as difficult a task as defeating Germany. ic mo right to notify writln any person trafficking In liquors, pro. hibitlng them from selling or giving away liquors to a person who Is whoi-ly or part of a charge upon a town or who has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor five or more times.

I also voted for this bill on its final passage.

The Brown Bill, passed In 1917, was in my opinion one of the great est pieces of temperance legislation that has ever been passed In many years and has legislated out of bus-iness more than 2,000 saloons in the State. My vote on this bill was in the affirmative. This is my answer to that part ot the article referring to my action 00 temperance legislation. Mrs. Sammis is quoted as saying that the reason she was induced to enter the contest was that no other man's name, except mine, was men.

tioncd for the olllce. I feel proud of that statement, as it proves that my work in the Assembly has been satisT factory to the greater majority of my constituents, and as for my stating that I would not withdraw when op. position was shown, I would state that I do not remember making any GERMAN U-boats are still hovering about the mouth of tho Chesapeake! An anonymous correspondent rushes to me a letter of warning in which ho asserts that secret information has come to him that Emperor Wilhelm has ordered the piratical 'craft to remain" along: this coast until President Wilson goes on his usual summer cruise aboard the Mayflower, when the U-boat commander Is to take the Chief Magistrate and his party prisoners; If possible, take Mr. Wilson to Germany, where he will be held for ransom under the brigands' code. If the Mayflower attempts to escape it must be sunk "without trace." Briefly, my utterly untrustworthy authority announces that this Is the "supreme blow" by which the crazy Kaiser expects to bring the great war to a sudden and triumphant conclusion! Evidently, his "Imperial Nibs" thinks that the people of the United States cling to the "divine right" of Presidents, and that if our able Chief Magistrate can be eliminated the American people will sue for peace and surrender several billions of Indemnity.

Mr. Wilson would be the last man alive to counsel or to consent to the payment of one dollar of Indemnity, in the grave misfortune of his capture. Terrible as such a calamity would be, American troops would continue to pour into France and the war would be prosecuted with Intensified vigor, if that be possible. Of course, no such misadventure will occur. My correspondent is unduly alarmed, but I see no reason why his warning should not be given publicity.

Our President will be well advised to travel by rail as long as this part of the Atlantic contains German sea-scorpions! Word comes to me from Washington that a prominent newspaper In the Middle West will be quite as directly connected with the Potsdam "Reptile Fund" as the Mall has been in this city. Much more money was expended on that venture than, so far, is known to have been wasted on the Rumely enterprise. All old friends of Henry L. Stoddard will rejoice at the personal letters he prints in his redeemed journal. My sincere friendship for the man does not conflict with dissatisfaction at the several explanations offered for the strange catastrophe that has overtaken a fine fellow and a good journalist.

Now that American, British and French marines are said to have landed at the Russian port of Kola, on the Murman coast or that part of Russia within the Arctic Circle, between the White Sea and the frontier of Norway every American should get a good map of Rusisa and familiarize himself with the route of the recently completed railway between Petrograd and this vital point of approach for the armies of the Entente Allies going to the rescue of a distracted country already overrun by treacherous Germans who have violated the treaty provisions into which they so recently entered. The Kola peninsula is under the. administrative authority of Archangel. It presents against the crashing surf of the Arctic Ocean a granite bluff more than 700 feet high, into which Kola Bay extends for 60 miles. At Alexandrovosk, the Russian Government established a naval station In 1S95, because owing to the presence of a branch of the Gulf Stream that sweeps into the Arctic Ocean around the northern side of Iceland, Kola Bay does not freeze up as does tho White from October to May of every yenr.

Archangel, on a suit of the same name, at the southern end of the White Sea, was for centuries the only port of Mutvovy, and continued so until Peter tho Great established his cupiUU on iia Ktfa and secured aa i i vv.m 1 i qmm rat 3 rfl illlllili Wl Wm such statement anil I have yet to see tho opposition except from a few per-sons whom it Is impossible to satis fy unless you agree with them In all things. I have yet to learn where I have been false to Republican principles, as my vote on ull questions of State policies, on all questions for the pro. tection of the Government and coun v43vj it-il few. IV- MUrrz try have been in the atllrmative. The cannery Hill was thrasnert out two years ago, and if Mrs.

Sammis opposes me on that question, then, to be consistent, she must, oppose all the representatives of Suffolk In Albany, as they voted for this measure. Finally. I yield to no man or wo man in my patriotism or in my sup. port to the Government (State or National) and I have neved opposed pro hibition legislation as a war meas. ure, and would further Fay that I have stated that I would favor a referendum to the people on State-wide pro nation.
