the respective communities for domestic purposes are sufficient to war-

The new rate for domestic grades of coal will he approximately $13.25 a ton. The generally prevailing rate last March was $13.10. to which is to he added a profit for the dealers

of 15 cents a ton.

"The 15 cents’ advance merely covers the Pennsylvania coal tax." said James W. West, a member of the fuel commission. "Operators have been finally persuaded to sell coal at ime price as the March price, plus enough to cover the tax recently Imposed by Pennsylvania.” The commission, it Is said, has the ■uranee of the active co-operation of the various wholesale dealers’ exchanges of the State. In maintaining this price, and this support Is calculated to render summary action by the commission toward alleged prof-

iteers unnecessary.

EDGE WANTS PRIMARY ELECTION IN SPRING is probable that the nexi of the New Jersey Legislature will witness an effort to change the time for holding the annual primaries for party nominations In the autumn and the time for the quadriennlal primary for selecting delegates the national conventions of the Republican and Democratic parties There is information here that the Edge wing of the Republican organ! zation after observing the long drawn out contest which Senatot Frellnghuysen tas had to wage for renomlnatlon would prefer to see Sew Jersey among the spring primary statea. With an eye on l»2l. | when Senator Edge will be a candi- i date for a second Senatorial noml- j nation, the Edge lieutenants will likely have a bill introduced at Trenton next winter to authorixe spring Mme nominating primaries and the Presldeutial primary In early April as compared with the present calendar ot nominating primaries late in September and Presidential primaries late In April of the convention

campaign and churches, women's organisations and fraternal societies alsi are volunteeiirg assistance. Tb' need Is so great that funds reee'.ed each day at the State j nee .’.quarters in Newark are cabled the next day to the relief workers at Smyrna. John Grier Hlbben. president of Princeton University, has taken over the school division and has written every principal in the state the following letter: "The heartrending situation Of thousands of refugees at Smyrna and Asia Minor forces me to make an urgent appeal to you to head a movement In your school among your pupils in order to collect funds ao that these innocent refugees may be saved. Conditions are so critical that Immediate action is imperetlee.” Former Governor William N. Runyon. state chairman of the Near Relief, has asked that the entire state machinery of that organisation be devoted to the Smyrna relief campaign. He has written Judge Oaborne telling of his heartfelt interest In the raent. saying that he would gladly give his time and energy to the campaign but his public appearance tor the cause might be misconstrued at this time, owing to hla political ac-

tivity.

"Knowing what I do of conditions in the Near East I can realise the horror of the Smyrna tragedy." said Senator Runyon. "The Near East Relief has In Its care 110.066 orphans of Armenia. New Jersey has supported s Urge number of there for several years sad I feel sure that the support will be continued—lor the Near East Relief has emptied 1U warehouses In Constantinople to care for the Smyrna refugeea. However, the great call now ta tor the hundreds of thousands destl.ate At Smyrna." Dr. Wilfred Post, of Princeton, now In charge of relief work at Smyrna, cables that the situation U growing dally more terrible. He say* that the city'* water supply has been discontinued and that a Urge number ot fire and massacre victims have gone Insane as a result of the horror of their experiences. The death rate Unong the refugees continues high and there are a Urge number of suicides among those Mixed by the Turkish guards for deportation.
