Yards Are Photographed Showing Loaded Cars of Anthracite Evidence Is Verified. Nsw Yo-k, Jan. 15. The statement that thousands of tona of anthracite were awaiting delivery to retail deal ers at the docks of the New Jersey Cen- ' tral railroad at Eliiabethport, N. J., has been verified In detail by a photo graph of iha yards practically block aded by loaded cars. There were near ly 406 cars In the yards and more than 100 additional on main tracks leading Into the yards waiting to be taken In by drill engines. Averaging the 500 cars' capacity at 60,000 pounds each 'would make the total in Ellxabethport at the hour of the count 1.1,000 tons. At other points there was also a sug gestion of coal laden cars, which the officers of some of the coal carrying roads says Is mainly due to the con fusion caused by the separating of care containing Independent coal from those bearing the company coaL Not-! withstanding the promise made byj George F. Baer. president of the Phil- j adeplhla Reading company, who, as the spokesman of the coal operators, j told Mayor Low that all the coal yards In the tenement districts would be sup plied with coal for the poor, there is great suffering in New Tork because thousands are unable to obtain fuel.

North, south, east and west, the conditions are the same biting winds, brisk weather, with a dash of frost and in some ptaces enough ice to make skating safe. The movement of the barometer Indicates that there Is no reason to look for any startling atmospheric changes, and frost, occasional snow showers, with interludes of fog, are likely therefore likely to be prominent items for some time In London's meterologlcal program. SIGN OF THE AVENOEK. Letter A Was Made In the Snow by the Side of the Dead Man. Chicago, Jan. 15. The sign of the "A." whatever it may mean, may lead to the arrest of the men who caused the death of the man whose body was found In Jackson park Tuesday night. Scratched In the snow near where the body of the supposed Italian was found was a lettr "A" followed by a dash, and the police bt-lieve it may be the avenging mark of somf society whose agents lay in wait for the unknown, bent on his death. The 13 knife wounds on the body were Inflicted by at least two different weapons a stllleto and a long knife. The police have thus far been unable to Identity '.he body. Scores of Ital ians have been taken to the morgue in the hop that some one of them might admit knowing the dead man, but all professed Ignorance of his Iden tity. The oath of the Maflta forbids members to seek redress In courts or to give evidence before them, and In oth-?r cases which the police have dealt with this law of the Mafia has been difficult to overcome.
