sentatives
Mr.. Crawford said that turing the past
year there had been a decrease IN the

per cent, but that during the months Of

rates from the mines.
Mr.. Seeh said that 1t IL much easier
to secure coal from the independent COM
panies than from the mines owned BY the
railroad companies and in this connection
an effort was made to show that the
large companies were disposing OF their
,roduce through the small ones in order
to keep. prices up, but no definite testi-
mony was secured to this effect.

The spat in the Senate yesterday be-
tween Senators Morgan and cockreli on
the proposed retirement Of Richmond
Pearson Hobson in the course Of which
Senator cockrell protested In effect that
the Senate had other concerns than TO
act as court OF appeals for young officers
whose applications for retirement had
been rejected by retirinw board and which
remark not being considered AZ respect
full to the hero. called from the Alabama
Senator the declaration that he intended
ITO continue to call up the bill until
Hobson got Justice" found a very en-
phatic rejoinder In the House today.
For the second time the House Com
mittee on Naval Affairs voted against
reporting the Hobson bill favorably. Il
ls worth while noticing that the oppo-
nents Of the bill. after preventing .
favorable report did not take the simple
step Of moving to reconsider the vote and
moving to lay that motion. on the table.
which action would have prevented It
from being brought up again. but Il Ia
pointed out that they did not care to
take even that little trouble. since they
are certain the bill can never get q
favorable report. Another point or in
terest Is that not single Southerner on
the Naval Committee voted IN Hobs0nss

North and all Republicans. unless the
fact that Maryland and West Virginia
are southern be adhered to. q Repub-
