ELECTRIC CHAIR lOE3 NOT KILL
So Says" Vice-President of New- "1ork
Lleht Company md Believes
Murderers Could Bo Revived.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1-F. A. Sslrat
ton. vice-president of an electric Tght
company in Westchester Covnty, this
state. Bays murderers sentenced lo die
in the electric chair ire frequnti not
killed by the electric current trnd that
they would be burled alive If it were
not for the autopsy which follows
the electrocution. Mr. Stratton fays:
"Nearly every week we have men
shocked by higher voltage currents
than are used in the electric chair In
Sing Sing .yet they come around all
right after a few days treatment. This
being, the case, Is It not probable that
some of the murderers .vho are sen
tenced to the electric chair could be
resuscitated if they received piompt
medical attention and the Fame care
that Is given to one of cur linemen
after he met with an accident? I have
often thought that a great runy peo
ple who are suppas?d lo have been
electrocuted are in reality buried
alive."

ENGLAND WANTS GUNSAULUS.
Doctor Has Not Made Plans to Accept
Position as Yet.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The report
that Dr. Gunsaulus, of Chicago, will
succeed Dr. Parker at the City Tem
ple Is premature, says the London
correspondent of the Tribune, but con
sultations have been held during the
week and he can evidently stay In
London If he wishes to give up his
complete work In America. Dr. Gun
saulus' oratOi-y and extraordinary en
ergy and interest in industrial educa
tion have mads a deep impression here.
His American friends think, however
that he will make a serious mistake
if he allows himself to be transferred
to an environment so unlike the one
to which, he was accustomed In the
West.

ANTHRACITE COAL
NOW A LUXURY
Can Only Be Bought By People
' Who Must Have it and
Have the Price.
PRICE WILL ADVANCE to $14
President of Companies Will
Not Undertake to Predict
When the Strike Will
Be Over.
NEW YORK, Aug. ' 16. -Anthracite
at $U a ton Is In nrospet here, ao
cording to one firm of miners end deal
ers. This Is, of course, ;onUnnt otk
a continuation of the strike for a few
weeks more. While anthracite, which
has been bought at $9.30 a ton whole
sale, is expected to be put on the
market In a week or so at $11 and
$11.30 a ton retail some of the retailers '
have raised the present retiil price
to' $10 a ton. A member of the f.ria
said:
"The coal that has ben hoarded up
is practically cleaned up and those
who happen to have small stacks
are not parting with it except to la-.
vwed customers. It Is ImpoiMbto 19
now fix a price. Anthracite sells slmp
for what it will bring. It Is g lux
ury and is only bough t by iopl
who must have it and hare the money
to pay it"
The representative of another large
firm said:
' I went along the line of thd Del-
aware, Lackawanna & Westrrr. be
tween Jersey City and Uoontnn acd
found all the yards emply. There was
not even coal dust bi them, At an
other place I found barga laden with
anthracite. What they carried n ight
seem a large quantity to laynun, but
it would be only a drop In the bucket
as far as the needs of New Vcrk are
concerned."
Presidents of the coal carrying com
panies will not undertake to frec"let
when the strike will be over. They
are inclined to extand the probable
time when it will end frm September
1 to October 1.
