MAN GOES AFTER COAL Woman Asks Aid Over Telephone and Tells Conflicting Stories. Thermometers were registering several degrees above zero yesterday and it pleased the majority. At noon the observations say it was 6 above, and at 2 o'clock it was up a few points, registering 84 above.

The demand weather information decreased not one whit. Every third person on the telephone wished to know, "Is it getting colder?" "Will it get any warmer are the predictions for rest of the week?" "Have they got the ice cleared of snow and is it safe to skate on "Do you think skating is being to last?" "Are thee coal companies gopleading, shortage to and too prices?" many orders "How cold is it in South Dakota?" Coal Given Poor. Overseer of the Poor O. B. Cross ha's distributed 29 tons of coal to poor families since January 1, about 25 tons of which have been distributed during the last four seyerely cold days.

Many applicants for coal are persons in circumstances of dire need and were it for the generosity of the county would be suffering from the cold. Illness and accidental injuries- play a great part in the conditions of people who need the help of the county. As a. rule the applicants are entirely able to care for themselves were it not these circumstances which deprive them of the ability to work. A slight illness often assumes the proportions great calamity, especially in this kind of weather.

Woman Asks Help. A woman living on the east side of the city called Mr. Cross on the telephone and asked that she be given help. She said that herself husband were in need of food and coal and asked that she be helped. She was asked where her husband was and answered that he was out in town looking for work.

She then said that she was at home telephoning. It occurred to Mr. Cross that a person able to pay telephone rent should be able to care for himself and he told the woman so. It made her a angry and she came uptown to see about it. It developed that she was the same woman who had asked for county aid.

At the time she called at office two weeks ago and said, that local she theater had as been janitress, work but that she had refused the work because she did not think the pay was enough. She was refused aid yesterday, when these things became known. In a rage the woman went to see some of the supervisors. To two of them she said her husband was home, ill with tonsilitis, to another she said that her husband was. laid up.

with the rheumatism, -to the county clerk she went, to seek his help in influencing Mr. Cross. Here she said that her husband was lame and unable to work. Being informed that the word of the overseer was final. she carried her tale to Commissioner Shade and implored his aid.

Mr. Shade told her he had no authority in county business. Then she went to W. A. Holman, chairman of the board.

Mr. Holman talked to Mr. Cross about the incident and the last word was that the woman would not be given aid. Oscar Cross and Mr. Holman are debating the adviability of an automobile as a delivery wagon to take goods to county dependents who can afford telephones in their homes.

Goes to Steal Coal. At the new shaft of the Decatur Coal company about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a determined man with a one-horse wagon shoved his scoop into a pile coal and proceeded to load his: wagon, then climbed into the seat and started to drive away without weighing out or paying for dis "personally conducted" raid on the coal pile. He met with objection and opposition and a police officer was called to take a hand in the argument. The man was strong willed and determined that he was going to have coal. did not have money to pay for it.

He could, not he get was it going delivered take on it. credit, Coal he would have. The. incident was settled amicably for all concerned by compromise of all parties to the controversy. Call on City.

Commissioner Ruthrauff has been busy answering telephone calls which have come to his home. These calls all were for assistance. First the announcement that water pipes had burst. would he please send a man to shut off the water, the. house was being flooded.

"We had a nan busy all day answering distress said Commissioner Ruthrauff. "For years it has been the custom to answer calls and I suppose we will always do that, but it is no business of the city do that work. The situation is for the person in trouble and the plumber. We have nothing to do with it. but as a rule the call comes when, women are alone and they have what to do.

The remedy is so simple that any member of the household could do all that city do, shut off the flow of watemployes In nearly every case the shut oft er. cock is next the meter and can be opened and. closed. with, the, Turn a wrench being unnecessary. that valve or cock and the flow ceases.

Again and again I have explained the situation to water consumers, demonstrating the simplicity of flow the of water work. Turn the cock and the from mains into the house is stopand if pipes broken there will further damage.

The consumers do not seem to realize that there may be 8 score of such complaints, that the man looking afterbreaks is on the run with sevand that he is doing of the work eral other calls of same nature, then merely as an accommodation. If the man from the does not get there in a few moments, they seem to think we are careless, neglecting our duties. What they want if they can't do the work themselves is a plumber.

The greatest annoyance follows the neglect of the valve boxes on the lawn. The cap of the box often is broken, the box becomes choked with refuse and when unprotected freezes and bursts. Not infrequently is it then impossible to shut off the water until a man using a pick a shovel has dug his way through several feet of ice and frozen nard earth to the valve. That trouble is neglect on the part of the occupant of the property, and it is not the duty of the city to make the repairs. OPERA "MONA" IS WELL PRESENTED "Mona," the $10.000 prize opera written by an American composer, was first given in a public performance last night by Messrs.

Hitchcock and Gallup, as the fourth number in their series of grand opera recitals in the Central Church of Christ. The interpretation of thsi masterful work as presented by Mr. Hitchcock last evening was pronounced by those who have heard him in practically all of his recitals, to be the best that he had ever given. The great variety of characters were handled in a masterful way. Never for an instance the audience loose the thread of the story or fail to recognize a character unannounced.

It was a tremendous play, tragic and heavy in parts, but throughout big and griqqing. The libretto 18 one of the most important that has ever been written. While the book "Mona" has been out for some time, the libretto has only recently been released for publication and although the grand opera is now being awaited in New York City with a great deal of interest, Hitchcok and Gallup secured the rights to give the production in recital and are the first to present the story to the public. Wins $10,000 Prize. The libretto is the work of Brian Hooker, from which Mr.

Hitchcock made his cutting. The music is by Dr. Horatio Parker, dean of the music department in Yale. Mr. Parker is recognized as one of the foremost musicians in America and when it was learned that he had presented an opera in the competition announced two years ago by Giulio Gatti-Cassaza, for American composers, with $10,000 as first prize, it was acclaimed that Dr.

Parker would be the winner. His work is technically perfect although the scores were intricate and for the most part appearing as disheavy and unusual, Professor Gallup played the different parts in a most pleasing manner. It is different from other grand opera music. It depends on its tone combinations for its effect and were it not for the libretto it is to say that the great American Opera will not appeal to the American Grand Opera lover. Story of Opera.

The scenes of the three acts are laid in southwestern Britian later in the first century. The central is that of "Mona," last of the blood of Boadicea. She is presented as a fine strong noble woman, the foster daughter of Arth and Enya. She is a woman' with a. mission, thought to be an inspired mission, and she brushes aside love and noble ambitions of a woman to do something rather than to be something.

Her life the tragedy of a reformer. she breaks away from that which calls her and plunges ahead with her inspired mission and in the end loses. She is loved by Gywnn, the son of the Roman governor of Britian. He has won places among the Britians as a bard, Roman lineage is not known to them. He is called the peace maker, as his love for Mona has always caused him to keep the peace between Britian and Rome.

A great rebellion has brewed under Caradoo, the chief bard and Gloom, Mona's brother. Mona is chosen lead the Britians against the Romans, having been foretold in dreams and old signs that she is to be the queen. Mona Central Figure. The Britians rally around Mona while Gwynn will not forsake Rome, on account of his love begs her to come to him and thus have peace. She refuses as she believes she will be the chosen queen.

The result is the Britians are beaten. Gwynn comes to save Mona after she has lost her first battle and she kills him. It is when the Roman soldiers and Gwynn's father come that she learns who Gwynn is and of her fatal mistake. Had she been a natural woman she would have won prestige the wife of Gwynn rather than loosing both by trying to be more than woman. One of the strangest characters in the production is that of Nial, a changeling, who calls the birds and beats his brother and believes he has no soul! and the shadows of others are their souls.

The great opera gripped the large audience from start to finish. Mr. Hitchcock was never better. Had he given the entire opera the audience would have been held until the close. Next Wednesday they leave for the East for a two month's tour, returning about the middle of March at which time they will give the fifth of the series.

On their Eastern tour they will appear in New York City. Albany, Utica and other large cities. Albany they will give "Die Walkuere." Febm. 1, and will be assisted by Mrs. Irene Armstrong Funk, soprano, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. W. C. Armstrong of this FRAIL LITTLE WOMAN MISSES HER TRAIN Bound for Mt. but with Pulaski to the home of her aunt, a ticket that brought her only to Decatur.

of the CAMPAIGN DRAWS MEN TO CHURCHES Dr. A. R. Taylor Explains Men and Religion Movement Started in Decatur. While cold weather cut down the attendance in all the campaign churches holding union meetings, the reports show good services and the men in the churches have shown more activity and interest in thi series of meetings than any other that has been held in the city.

In one church there were 25 men and 7 women in attendance. In another there were 85 present and one third of them were men, while in anther out of 75 present, 25 were men. The emphasis laid on the men's in the church is finding a hearty response throughout the city and the Men and Religion movement in Decatur is fast becoming one of the greatest movements ever started. In the Second Presbyterian church last evening the first part of the program was taken up by the officers and teachers of the Sunday school, who discussed their work for the coming year and their relation to the church. The regular service was then held.

A large attendance, considering the weather, was reported at the First Methodist church. Music is being furnished in this church by the regular double quartet. Dr.

A. R. Taylor, in speaking of meetings now being in the churches throughout the city, said: "The All-church religious campaign now on in this city is worthy the active support of all Christian peopie. It commends itseif for several reasons: "First. It a union movement of practically all the evangelical churches of Decatur.

"Second, it is demonstrating wismany other cities by its surprising results in awakening interest among all classes of people, particularlv among the men in every walk of life. "Third, it is a. school of religious instruction and of training in religious activity. "Fourth. its methods of organization and of work have been formulated by the most successful laymen and ministerial workers in this country.

Fifth, these methods are not of the usual evangelistic type, but are planned to reach classes of people to whom they have not appealed and to insure intelligent personal work more throughout all portions of the city and the adjoining community. Sixth, the whole movement seems to be so happily adapted to the wind religious situation in Decatur that all have sults investigated are it enthusiastically and have seen pushing it its rehere. "Seventh, it is to be a short. to decisive be campaign, lasting but a week. work in the followed up by systematic individual churches and few laymen will find it difficult to give a reasonable part of their time to some phases the work outlined by the various of committees.

"Eighth, while it is united work move- is ment, the major part of the done by the individual churches through their own individual definite, organiza- more tions, thus insuring more systematic. more sympathetic. otherwise more thorough effort than is possible."

Three Fires Do Little Damage Three fires directly traceable to the cold weather kept the department busy yesterday. At 4:20 in the morning a roof fire called the men to a house in the 1100 block in East Sangamon street.

The cause of the fire was a spark, the fire doing about $5 damage to shingles. The second alarm was at 9:58 in the morning and was caused by combustion of rubbish in a closet in a house in 355 East William street. At 2:40 o'clock in the afternoon, a flare-up of oil caused an alarm to be turned in from the 500 block North College street. Mrs. A.

L. Brockway, 561 North College street, had poured oil on frozen pipes, lighting the oil in the hope of thawing out the pipes. The oil ignited with a flare, setting fire to the apron of Mrs. Brockway and spreading to wood work. It was extinguished before the department arrived.

Mrs. Brockway escaped uninjured. The damage was mostly to paint. The men have been called out eight times since Saturday morning. BRYAN DEFEATED IN HIS ATTEMPT TO UNSEAT ENEMY (Continued From First Page.) president, appeared as the champGovernor Thomas P.
