PUTS COAL STEAL AT $500,G00,00P Expert Economist Says Owners Profiteered in War. WASHINGTON, May 28.—Bituminous coal owners took $500,000,000 in wartime profits, W. Jett Lauck, consulting economist of the railroad brotherhoods, declared today in n supplementary -surrey of the bitumious coal industry, pre-.•-ented to the labor board. Translated into individual terms, Lauck declared, this ••gouging" means aoh family in the United States paid approximately $25, thus accounting for "an important factor in the high cost of living." > Lauck supported his charges with data based on income tax returns of coal corporations, cost reports of the federal trade commission and financial statements of the companies themselves. "With an average annual production for the three years 1916, 1917 and 1918 of nearly 600,000,000 tons and an average excess profit per ton for the three years of more than 27 cents, it is apparent that coal operators gouged the consumers for an aggregate of half a billion ' dollars,” Lauck said. "The people of this country paid all the war taxes of the coal operators: paid their contributions to the Red Cross and other war-time welfare organizations; paid hugh sums for depletion, and on top of that paid them half a billion or more in net profits than they were capable of earning in a similar period during normal times," he charged. Lauck flatly denied that increased labor costs are in any serious degree responsible for the greatly increased prices of coal. OLD CIGAR STUNT TRICKS DETECTIVE 7 Didn’t Know It Was Loaded,’ Generous One Asserts. "I didn’t know it was loaded.." This statement, so familiar to the police, is being repeated over and over today by Capt. Alfred in an attempt to explain certain occurrences at police headquarters It all started when Capt. Ray, who his friends say, is not of a particularly generous nature, presented Captain of Detectives Fred Simon with a cigar, all without any perceptible provocation. MANNING SAYS IT WAS GOOD SMOKE. Capt. Simon, being of a naturally auspicious nature, presented the cigar to inspector of Detectives Chauncey Manning. Manning later reported that it was a very good cigar. Then Capt Ray appeared and asked Capt. Simon how he liked the cigar. Capt Simon replied that it was very good. On the strength of this Capt Ray presented him with another. PAT ROACH GETS HIS FINGERS IN. Then appeared Detective Fat Roach and appropriated the cigar, leaning back in a chair and lighting it. In a few minutes there was a loud report and Detective Roach landed on the floor and the cigar, after the nature of a skyrocket, hit the ceiling. Meanwhile Detective George Stewart had accepted a cigar from Capt. Ray and he later explained that in the bombardment that resulted when he attempted to smoke it at home he knocked three pots of geraniums ofT a window sill. Meanwhile Inspector Manning still insists his cigar was a very good cigar and Capt. Ray persists in the statement that tie ‘‘didn't know it was loaded."

PUSS IN BOOTS CHAPTER XLVII. After leaving the meadow where the cow had jumped over the moon, as I told you In the last story. Puss Junior waved his cap to the little cat with her fiddle and once more continued on his way, and by and by he came to a pretty village where the church bell was tolling. “Ding, dong, bell.” “What can be the matter?” thought Puss, running up to a crowd of people who stood around an old well on the village common. “Something must have happened,” and Just then a small boy began crying: “Pussy's in the well.” And in another mlnnte a very wet pussy cat was lifted out of the well and placed carefully on the grass. She lav very still, with her eyes closed and her pretty fur all soaked with water, grlly. “Little Tommy Green,” everybody answered at once. “What a naughty boy was that To drown poor pussy cat. Who never did him any harm But hilled the mice In his father's barn,” Bhouted Puss Junior, forgetting in his excitement that he was reciting his favorite Mother Goose rhyme. “Ton bet he was,” cried little Johnny Stout “It’s lucky I pulled her out. Perhaps she isn't quite dead.” "I’m afraid she is,” answered Puss Junior. “Still, If she wasn’t in the water too long, we may save her. It usually takes a long time to drown the “Who put her in?” Puss asked annine lives of a cat” Ton see, he knew the old saying that every cat has nine lives! And then he rolled her over and over on the grass, for he remembered hearing once that this was the proper way to bring a drowning person to life. Pretty soon poor pussy cat gave a faint “Meow!” and opened one eye, and after that she stood up with the water trickling down her face and dripping off in little drops from her stringy tail. "I guess she’s all right now,” said Puss Junior. “Isn’t there some kind little girl who will take her home and cuddle her up nice and warm. Isn’t there some little girl who would like a pussy for a pet?” “Oh, let me have her,” cried Little Po Peep. “Since I’ve lost my sheep I've been longing for a pet to play with,” and then she picked up pussy in her arms and ran off to her home. “Well, this ought to be a lesson to every boy here to let pussy cats alone,” said Puss Junior. “Where is Tommy Green ?” And didn't Tommy Green look ashamed when someone pushed him out of the crowd. “You tell your father,” said Puss to the naughty boy, “to duck you in the well so you’ll know how It feels,” and he curled his whiskers which stood out very straight, for he was angry with that naughty Tommy Green, and then he picked up his hat and resumed his Journey of adventure.—Copyright 1920.

Jesse Lothian, an English actress, has Joined the Stuart Walker players and will appear in the opening bill, "Two Kisses,” at the Murat Monday night.

John Barrymore, in “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” has been booked at English’s next week. The Circle, beginning next Sunday, will present Katherine MacDonald in “Passion's Playground.” -I- -ISTILL OX VIEW. Today’s continuing attractions line up as follows: “The Yellow Typhoon” and “Pagan Purple” at the Circle; “Every - woman" at English’s, vaudeville at the Lyric, Keith’s, Broadway and Rialto; “Grown Up Babies” at the Park, “Tillle's Punctured Romance” at Mr. Smith's, Mary Miles Minter in “Nurse Marjorie" at the Colonial, a double movie bill at the Regent, and Ethel Clayton In “A Lady in Love" at the J<ds. -I- -I- -iGOOD ENTERTAINMENT. Bryant Washburn makes another hit. He scores this success In “Mrs. Temple's Telegram.” “Mrs. Temple's Telegram" is a farce which gives Washburn a wide field for his type of aeting. And a good company helps him present it. Walter Hlers and Wanda Hawley are chief in his support. The story of the play concerns the troubles of a young married conple. The wife wishes to test her husband's fidelity and many comical situations ensue when her plan falls. In attempting to square himself the husband only succeeds In implicating other people in his “scrape," and has a difficulty in explaining. Opinion—A good farce, well acted. “THE BLUEBIRD.” It was no easy task to put Maeterlinck's “The Bluebird,” on the screen and it was no holiday either to present it on the stage. Maeterlinck is often so elusive and very symbolic, making It difficult to grasp his meaning. The movie version of "The Bluebird,” now on view at the Ohio, is a creditable attempt of fllm.ng Maeterlinck. The production Is elaborate and the subtitles are clear and Indicate the thought that the writer desires to put across. Don't be mislead In believing that this
