CHICAGO FACES
A COAI FAMINE
; Under Present Conditions Fuel
Yards Will be Empty
In Two Weeks.
Associated Press.
Chicago. Dec. 20.—Chicago is facing
a coal famine according to the various
dealers of the city.
The extreme cold weather and the in-
ability of the railroads to deliver a full
supply will empty the yards within two
weeks. The failure of the railroads to
bring in all the coal needed is attributed
by some dealers to the great rush of hol-
iday business that has tied up traffic
while by others it is said the shortage
is dne to confiscation by railroads to
provide fuel for their locomotives.

OM SOUS OF
mss cmtmh
Agairst the objections of the plain-
tiff Judge Seeligson of the Fifty-sev-
enth district court today set over until
Thursday the two injunction euitz filed
by C L Bass against J. G. Burleson N.
P. Dewnr and J. G. Barney.
The vases arise out of the Union Trust
company directorate “squabble.” They
were continued because of the absence
from the city of Judge S. J. Brooks
counsel for defendants.
The first of the two suits is filed
against J. G Burleson. The petition re-
cites that defendant is president of the
• Union Trust company and that he re-
fuses to re-issue and sign certain stock
certificates of plaintiffs to parties to
whom they have been sold though such
re issuance is provided for by the by-
laws. He is asked to be enjoined to so
issue and sign. The second suit is
against Messrs. Burleson. Dewar and
Burney respectively president treasur-
er and secretary of the corporation. In
this it is claimed that plaintiff be-
lieves it is the intention of defendants
to cancel certain stock of his. An in-
junction is prayed restraining such ac-
i tion.
Arguing this morning against further
postponement of the hearing on the two
; suits the hearing was brief and in the
j end all action suits was postpon-
led until Thursday at 9:30 o’clock.
As matters at present stand Messrs.
Burleson Dewar and Burney hold their
respective offices and the Union Trust
company is in their charge. Following
the dismissal a week ago of a suit
brought by C. L. and T. H. Bass in the
name of the Union Trust company set-
ting up their claim to places ou tho
board of directors a full new board was
elected. An appeal from the judgment
of the Fifty-seventh district court was
announced in this ease.
TODAY’S REPORTS WILL

| liall this morning presented a scone not
I unlike a school room. Lined around the
i big table were the blue coats busily en-
' gaged in making out their reports of
electric lights that did not burn on their
respective beats last night.
In view of the fact that none of the
lights were burning last night the po-
। lice had a busy time filling out reports.
• The police evety morning make out re-
j ports of lights not burning at night.
