Corrects a Mistake.

Mr.. v. Baldwin Johnson. who yesterday
was awarded the contract for furnishing TO
the District of Columbia It's supply of coal
for the next fiscal year. stated today that
the increase in the bid for coal for the
District was not due to any advance on the

the Suspuehanna companies, but entirely
to the fact that experience last year DEM
onstrated to him that he could not deliver
the coal to the numerous places specified
by the District both within and without
the city limits at last years figures. Mr..
Johnson stated that the wholesale prices
were the same this year as last year. but
