Divergent Opinions Given on
Present Fuel Situation.
AMENDED ORDER SOUGHT
Men's Palm Beach Suits I
Preferential Treatment Asked by
Public Utilities in Various
Sections of Country.
"WASHINGTON. July 10. Widely di
vergent opinions as to the nation's
coal supply were heard by the inter
state commerce commission today at
its hearing: on the advisability of
modifying- its order requiring pref
erence be given coal mines east of
the Mississippi In the assignment of
open-top cars. Some witnesses said
the country was experiencing the
worst coal shortage in its history,
while others declared with equal
finality that there was no shortage.
The commission was asked both to
modify its order, originally issued
for a 30-day period ending July 21,
so as not to give so much of a,
monopoly on cars to the coal mines,
and also to make the order more
drastic and continue it for longer
than 30 days. There was no indica
tion by the commission of its probable
action.
Wisconsin Asks Consideration.
Carl Jackson, member of the Wis
consin railway commission, urged
that the commission amend its order
so as to give preference to coal mines
having contracts to supply Wiscon
sin. Minnesota. North and South Da
kota and northern Michigan. The
movement of 4000 cars daily to this
territory must be had until Novem
ber, he asserted, in order "to save
the territory from freezing."
Agents of public utilities, scattered
throughout the eastern part of the
country, also asked that preferential
treatment be given their companies so
that a winter reserve stock might bo
accumulated in the next few months.
Their contention that a coal short
age exists was the opposite of the
testimony given by George H. Gush
ing, of the American Wholesale Coal
association, who said present produc
tion was equalling consumption. Mr.
Cushing expressed the opinion that a
fair price for coal at the mine should
be 5.50 a ton, and John Moore, rep
resenting the Ohio miners, added that
with an adequate car supply the cost
would fall to 4.
Coal Offered at $13 a Ton.
Chairman Clark read into the rec
ord a letter written on the station
ery of the Reeves Coal & Dock com
pany .of Minneapolis, offering to sell
coalT already'on the cars and in tran
sit, for $13 a ton. Mr. Cushing asked
his opinion regarding such prices, re
plied: "That is a matter for the de
partment of justice."
Alarm over the situation because
of its effect on Canada was expressed
in a letter sent the commission by
M. M. Mahoney. secretary of the
Canadian war mission. Declaring that
central Canada normally was depend
ent upon the United States for 17,000,
000 tons of coal annually, he said:
"Our government officials are be
ginning to fear that we may not
get sufficient coal to tide over the
winter."
"Reduced shipments to Canada thi
year," the letter adds, "seem to in
dicate that American producers have
neglected the long-established Cana
dian market to take advantage of
the European demand."

Mrs. Foster Describes Possible
First Lady of the Land as
a Beautiful Woman.
TACOMA. Wash., July 10. (Spe
cial.) The nomination of James M.
Cox as the democratic candidate .for
president has aroused special inter
est in Tacoma. since his wife, who is
the daughter of Thomas P. Blair of
Chicago, is a cousin of Mrs. Charles
A. Foster of Tacoma.
Mrs. Cox is the second wife of the
nominee, to whom she was married
about three years ago. She was Miss
Margaretta Blair, and at the time of
her social debut was considered one
of the most beautiful girls in Ch4
cago. Several noted artists painted
some remarkable portraits of her be
fore her marriage to Mr. Cox.
Mrs. Cox was educated at Miss Por
ter's echool at Farmlngton, Conn.,
which Mrs. Foster also attended. Sho
was one of the very popular and at
tractive girls of the school, with a
taste for outdoor sports and riding.
She was a schoolmate at Farming-ton
of Mrs. Richard T. Sullivan of Ta
coma. Mrs. Foeter says that her cousin is
essentially a home woman, devoted
to her husband and children. She
has one child, born during the last
year, and the three children of Mr.
Cox by his former marriage.
