An investigation Of the anthracite coal
trust by the Department of Commerce

the result OF a resolution which passed
the House late yesterday. without a
dissenting vote the House adopted the
Difenderfer resolution, which directs the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor to
conduct an inquiry into the causes of
the present high prices of anthracite
coal and to make a report to the House.
CONGRESSMAN Difenderfer of Psnnsyl-
vania introduced the resolution follow
ing the recent strike agreement in the
anthracite region, which was accom-
panied by a boost in prices to the con-
sumner.
As adopted by the House the Offender
fer resolution reads:
Resolved That the Secretary of
Commerce and Labor be and he is
hereby directed to obtain and report 2,
to the House of Representatives,
full Information concerning the DIFF

ticable how much and in what par
dculars the coal miners were bene-
flted blythe recent strike agreement,
and how much and for what reason,
and by what means, the cost of coal

Mr.. Difenderfer estimates that the an
thracite coal companies allowed the
miners approximately $5,OOO,OOO by the
strike agreement and in return for this
concession the Coal trust taxed the con.
sumers sl5,OOO,OO0. or at the ratio Of
three to one. ...
Following Its report from the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign

was adopted without material amend

BUFF FALO WOMAN IS
PLAYING POLITICS
FOR D.A. R. PLACE
Friends of Mrs. Horton Pre-
dict Her Election as Pres

Even in the dog days d. A. r. politics
do not entirely subside, and friends OF
Mrs. John Miller Horton. of Buffalo,
candidate for president general at next

with a statement that Mrs. Horton s
candidacy is prospering nightly ana
that she Is sure to be elected.

ment and say that Mrs. Story Will nave
no difficulty at all in defeating Mrs.
Horton.
II is alleged in the statement issued to
help the Horton campaign that num-
Der of other candidates have with
drawn In behalf of Mrs. Horton. among
those named being Mrs. Alexander Pat
ton, of Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Charles
Bryan, of Memphis. Tenn.
Washington members OF the Daugn-
ters of the American Revolution say
they had not heard of these alleged
Withdrawals before and doubt the cor
rectness of the statement.
Mrs. Scott's Attitude.
Meantime the attitude of Mrs. Mat
thew Scott, the president general, con-
tinues something of an enigma. Enorts
by friends of Mrs. Horton to get her IN
dorsed by the administration have never
net with any great success. and Mrs
Scott and Mrs. Horton had an acute
difference Of opinion over an alleged
pledge.
Mrs. Scott recently announced thai
she personally would vote for sue.
cessor to herself who would carry ou'
the policies of the present administra
ton, bit she did not intimate that Mrs
Horton was the one to do this.
Talk of Dark Horse.
On the other hand. the enmity be
tween Mrs. Scott and Mrs. story is wei
known. and, sooner than see Mrs. Stor!
win the race. Mrs. Scott might throw
her strength to the Buffalo woman. Blu

BANKS ODD CALLERS

The Bank of England has just dis
pensed with the services OF the two
detectives who have stood sentry at its
front door for over quarter og cen
fury. During the period many were
their odd experiences, for there are
many people at large who think they
own the Bank of England or part OF
it, and they call periodically with the
idea of making an inspection of the
premises. Then there is the individual
who would go up to the sentry box,
tap the detective on the arm, and ask
in an undertone, Which is the way to
the cashiers desk? want to change
a cheque for million pounds. An
other would ask to be directed to the
strong room, where my large diamond
collection is kept. by permission OF his
majesty" Then there were the Claim
ants"-those who imagined they were
heirs to the throne, and that the bank
would be theirs as soon as they had
proved their claim. Even visitors IN
rags would call and demand to be al
lowed to count over their securities.

An expert In fish culture, who be-

a novel exhibition to support his
theory. In one of the ineiosed pools

there was a large trout, which always
came forward to see and be seen
wien visitors appeared. 1t was the
experts custom, after calling particu-
lar attention to that trout, to raise
his cane quickly and hold it over the
water The performance would nave
no effect upon the trout. Then the
expert would produce light trout rod
and appear with 1t at the side OF the
pool Instantly that trout would turn
and fee, hide itself at the far end OF
the inclosure, and remain there as
long as the rod was IN sight. This is
the explanation OF the sudden change
in the trout's demeanor: One day.
