PROF. PARKER CAME HOME
ACCORDING TO CUSTOM
Shortage in Coal Bin Not
Cause of Visit.

Mrs E W Parker, the wife Of Prof.
E W Parker, Of the Geological Survey,
a member Of the coal commission ap-
pointed by The President, was not lit
tie surprised and chagrined this morn
ing when she learned that the message
sent her husband at Philadelphia calling
him home on account of a shortage of
coal had caused so much comment
throughout the country
Commissioner Parker Was in PhiiadeI-
phia attending the meeting of the com
mission when he received a dispatch
from Mrs. Parker telling him she could
not secure coal for their recently leased
home on Washington Heights. He left
the commission and came home. though
not because of the message. It is his
custom to spend Sundays with his fam
lily, and it was his intention to come
home before the message was received.
Speaking OF the message to repre-
sentative of The Times this morning
Mrs. Parker said:
Z did not call my husband home on
account of suffering from lack Of coal

modest home on Washington Heights
went to see our old coal dealers about
furnishing us coal, and they would
promise US but one ton of range coal
and q similar amount of furnace coal.
[ wired my husband TO that effect, and
he came home Saturday night to spend
Sunday with the family. It was not d
case OF suffering. for that would be TN
true.
We Will remain at the hotel until
we are assured a sufficient amount OF
coal is forthcoming Because Mr.. Par
Jpker Is a member of the coal commits

who 20 into the open market. He viii
he compelled TO do as others do. I am
surprised that the newspapers should
view the incident in the manner they
have"
Commissioner Parker left Washington
Tor Philadelphia last night, and while
here declined to be interviewed in the
matter, except to make general de-
NAL of the incident. His family have
lived at the Dewey for several months
past and viii not leave their present
quarters until they are assured sutfi-
cient coal is in sight.

THE PRESIDENT NOT TO
TAKE HAND At ALBANY
Detection of State Senators
in New York.

President Roosevelt has taken no part
in the political situation at Albany,
growing out of the detection of State
Senators Bracket and Brown from the
organization. It can be stated on au-
thority that the President has not been
asked to take a hand. has not volun-
teered TO do so, and would not do so
under any circumstances.
The general proposition is laid down
that the President will take no part in
State politics anywhere. An apparent
exception to this rule was in the Utah
case, where the election OF a Mormon
apostle to the United States Senate is
threatened. 1t was held in this case.
however, that the matter was not strict
" one Of State interests. but one Of ma
tional concern. No further action will
be taken in the Utah situation, however,
so far as the President is concerned.
Both sides OF the fight in Colorado
have repeatedly appealed to the Presi-
dent to say something which viii
straighten out the tangfe at Denver and
smooth the way for the election of a
Senator These appeals have had no ef-
feet, for the President has resolved to
keep out OF the controversy

LITTLE LIKELIHOOD OF
TRUST LEGISLATION
Extra Session of Congress Probable to Garry Out
the Presidents Demand

The more carefully the situation in
Congress is canvassed the more firm be
comes the conviction that, despite the
determination of the President, there is
likely to be no antitrust legislation be-
fore the adjournment next March This
failure TO carry out the wishes Of the
President viii not rest with the House
Among the members Of that body there
is disposition to harmonic differences.
subordinate personal and individual
opinions. and get together upon an anti
trust bill which can be rushed through
the House with all possible and prae-
tieable haste. There are many among
the House Republicans, and some Of
them are counted as the House leaders,
who do not personally approve Of any
antitrust Legislation at this session. and
who 10 not fndorse either the publicity
plan Of Mr.. Littlefield or the bills
drawn by the Attorney General but their
views upon the subject will not be al
lowed to interpose as obstacles TO the
passage of whatever measure the Judi
eiary Committee may agree upon. Per-
haps they feel assured that the bill will
die IN the Senate. as there are at pres
ent strong reasons for believing it viii.
There are SO many matters pending in
the Senate as to almost produce Iegisla-
tive confusion in that most sedate and
dignitied OF parliamentary bodies The
frat obstaela in the way Of any IeglsIa-
tior is the omnibus Statehood bill. That
has the right OF consideration every day
after 2 o'clock until finally disposed OF,
and as Senator Quay controls the situa-
ton, he is not likely to allow the meas
ure TO he sidetracked without a vote
Nearly half the members Of the Senate
expect to talk upon the bill, and If each
member is heard the end Of the session
VII pe reached before action is taken
upon the matter of Statehood.

but viii guard against the repetition OF
the evil, every member of the commit
tee does not hesitate to assert.
Secure Receipts.
In the interval since the last meeting
of the committee on Friday, the mem
bers have been engaged in securing re-
ceipts for coal from number of resi-
dents of the city It is the desire of ths
committee that all persons who may
have been charged excessive prices for
coal in the winter communicate with
either Senator Stewart or the clerk OF
the committee, Charles Moore. II in
the opinion OF the members of the com
mittee these receipts call for any ex-
PLANTATION on the part OF the local dealers
they viii not hesitate TO place them un-
der oath and demand such explanation.
Another purpose In asking for enlarged
powers for the committee is to insure
the attendance Of the presidents and
other high officials of the coal operat-
ing companies and the coal roads. It
has already beeh found that satisfactory
results cannot be obtained by cores
pondence. and it may be said positively
that President George Baer. of the Real
ing: President Cassatt, Of the PennsyI-
vania. and President Loree, Of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroads will be 5um-
moned before jhe committee in the nea.,
future. It is probable that President
Stevens. of The Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway will also be summoned
Committee Convenes.
When the committee convened in the
room of the District Committee this af-
ternoon at , O'Clock. several OF the wit
nesses who had been summoned were
absent. but they arrived shortly after
ward and no time was lost in pursuing
tie subject.
Interest eentered in the testimony ol
two Of the witnesses. August W. Ma
chen. who is seeking the contract fof
the supplying OF coal to the Postoflce
Department for the remainder of the
fiscal year. and James A. Lounsbury
local ageat Of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company. That
the session was not to be as free from
friction as has been the case in the two
previous hearings Of the committee was
evident from the start.

days, and still has not reached the con-
clusion OF his argument. The matter is
becoming tedious. and members disap-
pear from the chamber as soon as the
bill is taken up as unfinished business.
Senator Beveridge viii make an ex-
haustive argument, and fifteen other
Senator's have signiffed their intention OF
speaking against the measure. It is not
unlikely the friends OF the bill viii con
tent themselves BY saying little in order
that a vote may 3e had
Then there is the matter OF the rati-
f1cation of the Cuban treaty which must
be done before January 81, and there re-
mains but seventeen more legislative
days before that time. It's consideration
will require time.
Before February 1 the general appro-
priation bills viii come over from the
House and il is absolutely essential that
these be passed in order to avoid an ex-
ira session. Then there is the militia
bill ard the general staff bill. the former
passed by the House at the last session
and the latter only last week. and the
friends OF each are demanding that these
measures be acted upon. The militia
bill now occupies attention during the
morning hour and Is laid aside at 2
O'Clock for the Statehood bill
9here are other minor matters which
viii require the time so precious as the
life Of the Fifty-eighth Congress draws
10 a close. and each days deiay makes
it more and more impossible to pass an
antitrust bill, and more and more prob
able that the President will convene an
extra session Of Congress after March 4
in case there is no legislation upon this
subject enacted by the present Congress.
There is no indication that the PresI-
dent has in any way lesseued his deter
mination to have antitrust legislation.
and il his wishes are not complied with
the fault. IL such il be. Will rest with the
Senate rather than with the House.
