NO LEGAL STANDARD.
Question as to Manner of Handling
Coke

There is no legal standard fixed for the
than that the ton" should contain at least
1000 pounds. This is the opinion of Cor
poration Counsel Duvall submitted to the
Commissioners today in response to
query from Sealer of Weights and Meas
ures w. C. Haskell as to the number of
pounds in legal ton of coke
The request for an opinion on this mat
ter was made last March Mr.. Haskell
stated that some dealers sell 1900 pounds
and others 2. 240 pounds of coke for a ton
He was, however, unable to find any law
relative to the number of pounds constitut-
ing a ton of this particular kind of fuel
The corpora ton counsel, after considering
the question, referred the matter to the
bureau of standards for information. The
officials of that bureau reported that the
ton of 2,240 pounds was probably in use in
the early American colonies. The legisla-
ture of Maryland in 1929 passed a law
weight shall be considered ton. Later
the Maryland laws declared that a ton of
anthracite shall contain 2240 pounds.
The bureau officials, however, state that
they find no specific legislation on the SUBJ
ject, and can give no definite information
in answer to the question of the Districts
sealer of weights and measures.
Corporation Counsel Duvall suggests that
the weight of a ton of coke might be de-
termined by analogy to that fixed by law
for ton of coal, 2.240 pounds. were II not
for the fact that 1t Is the custom to sell
coke by the bushel and not by weight. It
seems that ton of coke must contain at
least 1900 pounds; but II dealers desire to
sell 2,240 pounds for ton It win not be
illegal.

NO COOL WEATHER IN SIGHT.
So Say the Officials Of the United
States Weather Bureau.

There Is no cool weather in sight"
This was the cheerless information given
to The Star this afternoon by Prof Gar
riott of the United States weather bureau.
He added, however, that there will be
row, which will afford temporary relief
while the rain is descending He also
added that the weather would remain
sultry. The official temperature late this
afternoon was so degrees while the
downtown, or street, temperature, as
registered on the big thermometer at At
1eck's was 90. south wind prevailed
during the day, but 1t was as warm as
the land 1t came from.
The atmosphere hereabouts Is again
freighted with moisture - humidity the
weather men call 1t and as result the
weather was soggy and oppressive today.
Much suffering Is reported among the
poor people in the overcrowded alleys and
tenements of Washington, and as there are
many who are unable to purchase even a
small bit of ice these sweltering days. 1t Is
understood several charitable people are
considering the project of raising an ice
fund also a fund to provide outings for
the poor, as was done here several years
ago.
1t is said the inhabitants Of New York
Philadelphia and Baltimore are experience
ing the same conditions those prevail
ing here. Rain fell yesterday in Mssis-
sippi Alabama North Carolina and north
ern Texas, and as result the weather was
considerably cooler in those sections, the
thermometer registering in the neghbor-
hood of SO degrees
On the Pacific coast and in the northern
Rocky mountain region the temperature
last night ranged from 90 to ia degrees,
the latter mark being reached at Fresno
and one other point in California.

HEADQUARTERS HERE
EFFORTS OF MR.. MCFARLAND
FOR CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.
Would Locate Proposed international
Headquarters in tho City
of Washington.

Commissioner Mcfarland has been quiet
ly working for some time to convince the
managers of the movement for the erec-
ton of a milion-dollar building for the
international headquarters Of the United
Society OF Christian Endeavor as a memo
rial to Rev. DR.. Francis E. Clark. founder
OF the Christian Endeavor movement, that
1t should be erected in Washington, and is
hopeful that this may be done.
The plan Is TO raise a fund OF 81, 500, coo
SO as to provide not only a handsome and
suitable building for the general offices,
but an endowment for the maintenance OF
the building and its work. The registered
membership of the Christian Endeavor So
cieties in November 1904 was 3,SSS, 240,
chiefly in the United States and Canada,
Great Britain and Australia although they
are found in almost every country in the
world
A present the offices of the United So
cety of Christian Endeavor are in Boston.
and there is a strong desire to keep them
there. The middle west desires the inter
national headquarters either at Chicago or
ST. Louis. and New York San Francisco
and other cities have their claims.
Where Money Comes From.
AS the money for the building and en-
dowment is expected to come from the
membership IN small COMMUNICATION
least 100000 persons residing in every
state and territory of the United States,
in every province of Canada and in many
other countries, and az 1t is to be an inter-
national headquarters Commissioner Mac
farland has represented to the managers of
the movement that the building ought to
be In the national capital. upon which the
eyes of all countries are now fixed as never
before, so that it may properly be consld-
cred the international center of the world.
Its selection by Russia and Japan for their
peace conference is only new proof in
his argument that this is the place for the
international headquarters of an interna-
tonal movement of this character
The presence here of the embassies and
legations, as well the fact that It is the
official home of the President, the Supreme
Court and Congress, and that all the repre-
sentative men of the country and all repre-
sentative visitors from abroad come here.
gives 1t peculiar attractions for such a pur-
pose. In the preface to his address before
the International Christian Endeavor con-
vention in Baltimore this afternoon Mr.
Mcfarland will express The hope that the
memorial building may be erected and the
international headquarters established here
