WASHINGTON, April 17. John
Skelton Williams, purchasing diret

today laid before President Wilson
at (hf sesson of tho war cabinet hla
side of the disagreement between
Fuel .Administrator Garfield and th
railroad administration ever the
question of car shortage at coal mlne
and railroad methods In purchasing
their coal supply. Ther? was no an
nouncement after the meeting but it
Is understood that the difficulty will
be adjusted one way or the other
soon by direction of the president.
Dr, Garfield, who attributes the.
Terlous loss In coal production re
rontly to shortagn of cars, at tho
mine has been conferring with "Mr.
Williams for more than two weeks
without result. He blames the short
age largely upon the practice of the
railroads guaranteeing a 100 per cent
car supply at the mines furnishing
their coal In return for ' reduced
prices, . llernard Maruch, chairman
of the war Industrie board, has par
ticloafed In the discussion and Is
said to have taken the same position
On the other hand, the railroad
administration attitude is that the
government can not afford tpsaddle
eitra expense of eoai pnrcnases on
the railroads under federal operation
and consequently the pre-war policy
of coal buying must be continued.

Worley Found to Have Been
Born in Germany
ACCIDENT CONSIDERED
ALMOST IMPOSSIBILITY
Sister of Lieutenant Confident
Mystery Will Be Cleared
Shortly
NORFOLK, AprlI17. Mrs. Selma
WY Worley. wife of Lieutenant Com
mander George Wlchtmann Worley,
commander of the missing naval col
Her Cyclops, came to a' local news-1
paper office tonight; and declared
that the mystery surrounding the
dlsapearance of the ship and its 293
passengers and crew would be clear-
red up with the next 24 hours. In
one statement Mrs. Worley Is quot
ed as saying tho Cyclops was safe in
an South American port and offorlal
announcement regarding the vessel
would' be made shortly.
Mrs. Worley Is known to have visit
ed families hero who have. relatives
on the ship and told them not to
worry as the mystery soon would
be cleared. '
Sirs. Worley visited ihe newspaper
office to request the suppression of
an Interview she had given about
her husband's change of name and
bis birth in Germany.
I will be able to give a bigger
story tomorrow," she said, whi-n
pressed for .additional Information,
she added: "You know there are
other ships at sea."
'Have yoji any reason to believe
the Cyclops is safe?" she was asked.
"Yes," was her reply.
So Confirmation Indicated.
WASHINGTON. April 17. At the
navy department It was said tonight
that nothing had been received to
confirm Mrs. Worley's statement
about the Cyclops being safe in a
Kouth, American port. The depart
ment reiterated the statement that
nothing has been heard from or of
the Cyclops since It left the Ilarba
does. Navy officers attach no Import
ance to WorleV'N change of name or
the news that he was born In Ger
many, and scout any suggestion that
his Teutonic origin might be signif
icant In connection with the disap
pearance of hla ship. They point to
the officer's clear record of a quarter
of a ceniury and declare that If bis
loyalty should be Impugned for such
a reason, a considerable portion of
the high officers of tho navy must
be under suspicion.
X Trace Are Found.
WASHINGTON. April 17. Dill
gent search by naval and merchant
fehlps has failed to disclose the slight
est trace of the missing naval collier
Cvclons and with the passing of the
44th day since the vessel sailed from
Darbadoes for an Atlantic port, be
lief Is growing at the navy depart
ment that in some way she has been
destroyed or captured by the enemy.
How this could have happened no
Une professes to know, but officials
regard It aa almost Impossible tbat
any accident could have caused the
sea to swallow up the big vessel and
293 persons on board without leav
ing a trace.' Some think sooner or
later an enemy announcement will
clear up the mystery.
Francisco quoting Mrs. A. M. Anger
inann. a sister of Lieutenant Com
mander G. W. Worley, commanding
officer of the Cyclops as saying their
family name was . Wlchtmann ana
that her brother was born in Ger
manv and came to America as a
child, led . to an "examination today
of Commander Worley's record at
the navy department. It shows
Worlev entered the service of the
nav. twentr-dght years ago and at
that time gave San Franciwco as his
hlrf h tIaee. H attained the rank of
master In the naval auxiliary and for,
years comihilnded colliers a-nd sup
ply ships. Wiu?n the auxiliary was
merged naval volunteers after the
United States went to war. Worley
was In command of the Cyclopa and
he retained that assignment with the
rank, of lieutenant commander.
KxplaJn Change In Xame.
Mrs. Worley, who lives in Norfolk,
Va., explained there today that her
husband'a nam was changed legally
at Tort Orchard, Wash., when he was
a young man and before he entered
tho naval service.' She confirmed the
statement that ho was born In Ger
many but declared he always wa- an
enemy to that country. His foster
father, she said, was named Worley
and he went Into court to legally
adopt the name of George Wlcht
maon Worley. j

third liberty loan campaign Is two-
fifths over and less than one-thlr
of the $3,000,000,000 minimum- has
been officially recorded as ' tub
t-crlbed.
The total reported tonight to the
treasury, covering receipts by banks
up to the close of buslneaa last night,
was $952.922,250; or $48,000,000
snort of the$ 1.000,000.000 total ex
pected by tonight. This Is $123.-
Jl7.ir0 more than was reported last
night.
"Hales since tho first day of the
campaign, when they started with a
rt sh, frankly are not up to expecta
tions," said the treasury a daily ro
view tonight. "There is a feeling
or disappointment, particularly In
the large cities. The country dis
tricts are doing better than they dl l
In previous campaigns, but the gains
that ther are maklnr are not of mjit.

The need for constantsteady!
driving by sales committees every
day throughout the remainder of tho
campaign is plain. Only persistent
daily snd hourly effort will rentoro
the campaign to the rate which was
reached a week ago possibly nnder
the Impetus of the start of the honor

The St. Louis federal reserve dls
rJrt has subscribed 60 per cent of
Its quota and continues at the head
of the list In this respect. The New

contributor,.' has dropped to fifth
place as to percentage, according to

report from the Minneapolis district,
which started Its campaign Monday,
and managers there predicted that
the district's quota of f 103.000,000
would be raised by the jt of the

would be replaced at the top of the
list.
