WALLACE, Idaho. Dec. 31. (Spe
cial.) Negotiations between James F.
Callahan, millionaire stockholder of
the Consolidated Interstate-Callahan
Mining Company, and pioneer mining
man of the Coeur d'Alenes, ' and his
wife. Helen Elizabeth Callahan, which
reached the point a week ago, where it
waa announced that a complete recon
ciliation had been effected, were shat
tered yesterday, when Mrs. Callahan
filed an amended answer and cross
complaint to her husband's divorce
suit, declaring- that she is wholly in
nocent of the charge of any wrong
doing preferred against her and charg
ing that she is the victim of a con
spiracy hatched up and attempted to
be consummated by her husband and
his. agents and employes.
In her cross-complaint Mrs. Calla
han charges that her husband and
others entered into a conspiracy for
the purpose of trapping her in ap
parent commission of indiscretions in
order that her husband might be pro
vided with reasonable or apparent sus
picious grounds upon which to insti
tute divorce proceedings.
She charges that following out this
conspiracy one Martin was hired as
chauffeur to accompany her wherever
ehe went for the purpose of spying on
Tier movements and conduct and to get
her into a compromising position by
fair means or foul. She was persuaded
to engage a room at a Spokane hotel
when she charges that Callahan falsely
Informed her he was going on a busi
ness trip to Canada.
Martin, she alleges, occupied a room
on the' same floor and during the night
she became ill and sentMartin to get
medicine which he brought to her
room. While Martin was in her room,
she alleges. Callahan knocked on her
door and while she responded to his
knock, Martin, she charges, turned out
the lights and removed practically all
of his clothing and secreted himself in
a closet. She charges that Callahan
then charged her with misconduct and
tore her clothes and called other
patrons of the hotel to come and see
her. but that he made no attempt to
harm Martin.
Mrs. Callahan asks for temporary
alimony, which she alleges for a person
In her station of life and financial
standing as wife of plaintiff should be
$5000 a month and temporary suit
money of $25,000, temporary attorney's
fees of $50,000 and at the termination
of the suit she asks for a divorce, costs
of suit, attorney's fees and a division
of the property worth more than
$1,000,000.

COAL PROFITS MOUNTING
PROFITS ON NEW CONTRACTS IN.
CREASE HUNDREDS PER CENT.
Consumers Who Closed Deals at I .ant
Spring's Prices, However, Are 80
; Per Cent of Whole Number.
CHICAGO, Dec. 31. (Special.) Prof-
Its from 1000 to 2000 per cent greater
than in former years are now being
reaped by coal operators with uncon
tracted for reserves on hand, accord
ing to figures being compiled by Fed
al agents here investigating the coal
..nuation in the Middle West. Against
former profits of from $5 to $10 a car
load, operators are now making $100
to $150 a car on screenings, the cheap
est grade of coal, and profits of $225
a car and more on coal of only slightly
better grade.
Statistics in the possession of the
Investigators show that coal which in
April, .1916, was sold at Illinois and
Indiana mines for 90 cents a ton, and
on which a profit of 10 cents a ton
was being made, is now being sold at
a profit of $2.20 a ton. or $110 per
CO-ton car. Thi3 means an 1100 per
cent increase.
Better grades of Illinois, Indiana
and West Virginia coals, which in past
years have sold for $1.35 to $1.50 a ton
at the mines, are now bringing be
tween $5 and $6, with corresponding
profits. ,
"The difficulty from the point of
view of the coal operator and the
wholesale and retail dealer is that at
least 90 per cent of the output has
been contracted for in advance at
prices obtainable last Spring," said i
Government official. "The dealers con
tracted with the miners at prices then
prevailing and the consumer contract
ed with the dealer. The winner in these
cases has been the consumer."

AKED TO CONSIDER
Pastor Will Investigate San
Francisco Offer in Person.
LIVERPOOL HOLDS ALOOF
Former Congregation In England
Adopts Vote of Confidence in
Present Minister, Action
Being Unanimous.
CHICAGO, Dec 31. (Special.) Dr.
Charles F. Aked, former pastor of the
"Rockefeller Church," of New York,
later pastor of the First Congrega
tional Church of San Francisco and
dropped by that organization when he
joined the Ford peace junket, prob
ably will return to San Francisco.
He promised today to go to San
Francisco to Investigate in person the
offer made him by the members of the
new First Interdenominational Church,
composed of members of his former
congregation, who still want him for
their pastor, and others who have
joined the movement.
LIVERPOOL. Dec. 31. Dr. Charles
F. Aked has come into prominence here
again through the refusal of, his former
congregation, that of Pembroke Chapel,
to recall him. The suggestion that the
peace advocate be asked to come back
to his old pulpit was contained in a
letter from J. H. Morse, senior deacon
of the First Congregational Church of
San Francisco, and was read to the
congregation by the present pastor.
Rev. Donald B. Fraser.
Mr. Morse Inquired if the pastor, Mr.
Fraser, Is prepared to vacate the pas
torate in favor of Dr. Aked, and if
Pembroke Chapel will recall the peace
emissary, adding: "I think, upon the
whole, that would be the most complete
vindication of Dr. Aked possible, and
settle for all time Dr. Aked's status in
the Christian ministry."
As soon as Mr. Fraser had finished
reading the letter, a member of the
congregation proposed a vote of con
fidence in the present pastor, which
was Immediately seconded and carried
unanimously.

TACOMA. "Wash., Dec. 31. (Special.)
Mrs. A. Frazier and Mrs. W. S. Ken
nedy, of the Monday Civic Club, have
formed themselves into a committee
to see that Tacoma streetcars are kept
clean. It all came about when the
club agitated for heat in the cars, and
the women took their complaint to Dr.
JJ. A. Rich, city health officer. They
threatened to take action themselves if
he did not bestir himself.
"You have my permission, ladles," he
beamed. "Go right ahead."
Mrs. Frazier and Mrs. Kennedy ac
cepted the challenge and began their
investigation. They went to the car
barns and learned that stubs of brooms
and buckets of water were used to
clean out the cars, and that the straps
had never been dusted since ilrst put
into use years ago. The women have
eent a complaint to the Public Service
. Commission, and declare they will force
a change in the care of cars.
Majority Report on E-2 Disaster, For

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. The major
ity and minority reports of the Naval
Board appointed to investigate the
question of storage batteries for sub
marine boats after the disaster to the
E-2 at New York, forwarded to Con
Kress by Secretary Daniels, shows
wide divergence of opinion regarding
the efficiency of the Edison battery
with which the E-2 was equipped.
Lieutenants C. M. Nimitz, E. D. Mc
Whorter and Cecil Y. Johnson joined
in a majority recommendation that no
Edison battery be installed in any of
our submarines until further tests have
shown that their disadvantages have
been overcome." Captain George E.
Burd, senior member of the board and
Industrial manager of the New York
yard, filed a dissenting report saying:
"I believe that of the three types of
battery tested by the board, the Edison
battery Is the best adapted lor use in
submarines."

Plantations Also Require Real Labor
and Supply Once Drawn From
Europe la Cat Off.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 31. (Special.)
"We need more Chinese in Hawaii,"
sale? Farm Cornn on the deck of the
Great Northern late yesterday, "and
am going to Washington to see if it is
possible to lift the bars so that 25,000
Chinese may be admitted to Hawaii.'
Further, Farm Cornn said that the
Japanese were so much in the ascend
ency in Hawaii that something must be
done to counteract their Influence. The
plantations, he said, were in need of
real labor, and as the European supply
has become a minus quantity it was up
to tne orient to supply the need.
He hoped, he said, that Congress
would look favorably on the admission
of more Chinese to Hawaii, and he in
tended to work to his utmost to secure
this result.
POLICE ARE ATTACKED
Arrest In Dancehall Arouses Ire of
Merrymakers.
LA GRANDE, Or., De'c 31. (Special.)
A riot call following an arrest of
two fighting men at a local dance hall
late last night precipitated scenes that
for a time threatened bloodshed.
C. Depew. of Portland, is in Jail
suffering from a club wound inflicted
by the police.' Depew Is said to have
been fighting and resisted arrest. The
dancers sided with Depew and made
a rush for the police.
One policeman jumped the full
length of the stairs to the ground floor,
dragging Depew with him, while other
policemen held the crowd back. The
riot will probably bring about a thor
ough shakeup In dance hall regulation.
