The most tangible evidence secured by the special Grand Jury In the coal shortage Inquiry up to the present time Is that which relates to an alleged agreement drawn In March last, and which Is said to govern a dozen mine operators In the Clinton, district, with Walter S. Bogle and the Crescent Coal and Mining Company as the Chicago factor. It is charged In the evidence that Mr. Bogle appears as president of one of the Indiana mining companies, making an agreement with himself as president of the Crescent Coal and Mining Company. It is said that these mines were compelled to pool their output to be disposed of by the Chicago In getting at the facts, the Jury today called before it Max Elchberg of the Wabash Valley Coal Company, and recalled Charles W.

Gil-more and Norman S. Birkland. officers of the Crescent Company, who were before the Jury for a time yesterday. A number of railroad men were also on hand when the Jury began its work, today, representing the Burlington, Wabash, Illinois Central, Monon and Michigan Central, and were called In as fast as their testimony could be heard."

Abrahams of the feullding Managers' As sociation was aiso canea ana is sam Tave given valuable information con cerning the maintenance of a room by the coal dealers' association, where secret conferences were held at regular Intervals prior, to the starting of the present Investigation.

AND SO She Found How the Coffee Habit Could Be Easily Left Off. "My husband had coffee dyspepsia for a number of years," writes a lady from Dundee, N. Y.

"Coffee did not agree with him, as it soured on his stomach, and he decided to stop it. "We felt the need of some warm drink and tried several things but were socaiitired of them. Finally a friend told me of the good Postum Food Coffee had done her famllyand I ordered a package from the grocer. "We have used it for three years with splendid reslilt. It agrees perfectly with bis stomach and dyspepsia has entirely left him.

I find In talking to people who have used Postum and not liked it that the reason Is that -they do not let it boll long enough- 'When prepared according to it makes a beautiful, clear, golden brown beverage like the highest grade of coffee In color. "We let the children have Postum every morning and it agrees with them nicely and they thrive on it. I am sure that If everyone using coffee woul change to Postum that the percentage of Invalids would be far less than It is at; present" Name given by Postum Battle Creek, Mich. It Is easy to change from coffee to Postum and the benefit Is Bure and quick, for Postum Is composed only of the- grains intended by Nature for man's subsistence and It goes $0 work in Nature's way to correct the disorders caused by coffee and rebuild the broken down blood and nerve cells. A ten days' trial of Postum will prove this to the most skeptical.

The circular tidewater price is J5, and It costs about 20 or 2a cents a ton to transport it from the New Jersey side to New York. Continuing, Mr.

Torrey said the Delaware and Hudson had nothing "to do with the retail price of coal in New York and his information about such prices was mere hearsay. In answer to Commissioner. Clark, witness said the Delaware and Hudson sold direct to dealers and distributing houses in New York State and New England. He further paid that the Delaware and Hudson deri-ved no benefit from the abnormal price of retail coal. During the examination counsel for the miners endeavored to get the witness to tell something about freight rates, but the commission ruled that question out.

Many questions were asked which Mr. Torrey could not answer, but he 'promised to bring before the commission documentary information regarding the prices of coal in 1901 and 1902, and the prices now charged where the Delaware and Hudson sells coal. James K. Dixon, freight agent of the Delaware and Hudson at Wilkesbarre, who made an investigation regarding the prices of groceries, meats and other necessaries of life and the consumption of liquors in the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys, who was on the stand yesterday, was, recalled. Counsel for the miners objected to that part of the statement which Included the consumption of liquor, because it' included the entire population.

If the witness could show how much the miners consumed there wo'uld be no objection, but cinsel did not want the entire liquor consumption charged to the miners. The commission excluded the statement because it did not show a per capita consumption.
