PRESIDENT NOT PREPARING
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT

There is no foundation in fact for any
story that President Roosevelt is pre-
pairing an official statement of his Ell
forts to end the coal strike.
A report was circulated yesterday that
10 Offset the strikes supposed political
effect on the Republican party. the Pres
ident had been urged to make public
chronological record of what he h8d
done to bring about settlement,
That record is already public prop
erty," said a prominent official last
night, "and besides there is no political
effect of the strike. That is all bosh.
The President, l am confident, has no
thought of turning out explanatory proc
lamations regarding his actions.

to the navy. is making every endeavo:
to give the feet enough coal. AID its ct
forts are very much appreciated by the
Navy Department But the departmea;
has been informed that this and other
coal concerns are having difficulty II
getting enough material to comply with
their contracts. They are also expo
riencing great deal of trouble in finl-
ing adequate means of transportation.
May Not Continue.
Although the Pocohontas Company is
making regular shipments to navy
yards and other places of delivery, it
does not know how long it will be able
to continue. The naval officials say
that they have every confidence that as
long as there is coal to be had anl
means of transporting it are availabls
the Pocohontas Company will make
every endeavor to prevent embarrass-
ment TO the feet.
Admiral Bradford said yesterday that
although, he had studied the coal situa-
tion carefully he was unable to under
stand why there was such a scarcity jn
the supply of soft coal. There could
not be, he said, any great increase in
the demand for the bituminous produc;
by manufacturing establishments, be-
cause most of them have been using it
and have not been dependent upon The
anthracite OUTPUT.
In Admiral Bradford's opinion, the de-
mand for soft coal for household pur-
poses cannot be so great as TO seriously
decrease the regular supply. He is sat
sfied, however, that the demand for
soft coal Is such as to be almost beyonc

1t is known. also. that the President

HENRY |. WEST ASSURED
OF COHNISS|ONERSHiP
Presidents Decision to Be
Announced Shortly.

The District Commissionersh,p va
cancy will be filed in a day or two by
the nomination by the President of
Henry l.. West.
Last night at the temporary White
House Mr.. West had half hours con-
ference with the President. As Mr..
Roosevelt has denied himself to all call
ers except those who come to confer
on important official business. or whom
he summons personally, it was evident
that Mr.. West had come in response
to direct invitation.
On leaving the Presidents house after
the conference. Mr.. West had no word
OF comment whatever to make. but his
countenance beamed in an unmistake-
able way. Yesterday. even before his
call at the White House. his friends
began their congratulations, in the full
confidence that the long fight has been
settled in Mr.. Vests favor The official
announcement will probably be made to-
morrow.
Explanation of Delay.
The explanation given for holding back
the appointment for a few days is that
Mr. Roosevelt desires to confer with
several men who have been active in
urging the appointment of candidates
other than Mr.. West, and to state the
reasons which have impelled him to de-
termine upon the latter as Mr.. Ross
successor. Several other candidates
have been so strongly supported that
their claims were believed by their ad-
herents to carry great weight.
The problem OF selection has been
hard one and now that the. President
has reached a conclusion, he feels con-
fdent others will share his views if
hey know the main attendant circum-
stances. For this reason. until he can
see some of these gentlemen. the an
1ouncement of his decision will be with

SECRETARY ROOT CALLS
ON ]. PIERPoNT MORGAN

NEW YORK, Oct 11.-Secretary of
War Root got into town from Washing
ton early this morning, and met J. Pier
pont Morgan on Mr.. Morgans yacht Cor
sair.
The coming of the Secretary gave rise
to the belief that he was the bearer of an
important communication from the Pres
ident. No authentic announcement on
the subject was made. 1t was recalled
by many persons that Secretary Roots
last visit here, two weeks ago. preceded
the Presidents conference with the an
thracite coal operators and the officers of
the United Mine Workers.
Mr. Root Registers.
The first thing Mr.. Root did after his
arrival in town was to go to the polling
place at Seventy first Street and Madi-
son Avenue and register. After break
fasting the Secretary rode in cab to
the West Thirty-fifth Street pier. A
launch was waiting, and he was taken
aboard the Corsair. which was anchored
far out in the North River
AT 2:45 O'Clock the Secretary and Mr..
Morgan were taken in launch to the
foot of West Forty-second Street. He
was driven to the Pennsylvania ferry at
West Twenty-third Street. Here he sent
several te,egrams one of which was TO
the President. Mr.. Root then went TO
Jersey City and took the train for
Washington.
Mr.. Morgan told the newspaper men
that he had nothing to say. 1t was
learned at the club that after the de-
parture of Secretary Root. Mr. Morgan
talked on the telephone at length with
President Baer. who was in Philadel- |
phia.
