The snow being wet, broke down the wires, and the great weight, with the wind, brought down a large number of telegraph poles, cutting o.f communication between the trains and the central office at Jamaica and putting out of commission the signal service. This made it necessary to run all trains with extreme caution. A number of the telegraph poles came down hyacinths, in the monthly competition.

This company was one of the dealers ho received a shipment of 1,000 tons on Monday upon the order of Fuel Administrator Ilan. On Tuesday and Wednesday, customers of the company who had placed their orders weeks ago, were each served with one ton. Then it was announced that the remainder of the stock would be sold to the poorer classes, each purchaser to receive 100 pounds for 60 cents, which is 10 cents less than could be charged under the Government regulation. During the morning the crowd that had been orderly, kept a staff of clerks and yard hands busy. About noon, the report spread generally throuchout the r.avensnood section that, there was coal in plenty at the yard, and then the trouble started.

Despite the fact that frequent announcements were marie that there was sufficient coal for everyone to secure a lon.pnuna allotment, the disorder continued, men and women fighting to get into the yard. Finally, it was necessary to send for the po-lice to keep the crowd in check. More than ton3 were disposed of in these nnall lots. Many people took their first consignment home and then came back for more, which was an easy matter. The clerks could not remember those that had appeared before them earlier in the day because of the lartre num dale, grazing a railroad train early '(Special to The Eagle.)

AMERICA IS ASKED TO EXTRADITE COLDSOLL Paris, December 14 Deputy Emile Constant attempted to discus3 the Cioldsoll case In the Chamber of Deputies yesterday. Edouard Ignace, Under-Secretary for Military Justice, opposed any discussion, as the case was under legal investigation and he had asked the American Government for Goldsoll's extradition. Albert Thomas, former Minister of Munitions, said he had appointed the mission of which GoldSoll was a member. An automobile company had asked his department to make Gold-soil a member of the mission and this was supported by an officer of the company. M.

Thomas said he had consulted the police about Goldsoll and nothing was reported against him. The mission of control sent to the United States reported nothing against Goldsoll, but a new head of the mission demanded in September, 1916, that Goldsoll be recalled. This was done after investigation by the military police. M. Constant then withdrew his motion, saying it was evident that M.

Thomas had not been informed properly by the police. Frank J. Goldsoll, a French soldier, was accused by the French military authorities late last month of obtam-ine commissions on purchases he made in the United States while attached tc the French Mission. On November 30 the French Consul-General In New Tork said that Goldsoll was ivine in New York. On December 1 Goldsoll said he knew nothing about the charges made by the I rench Government.
