COAL WEN DENY
DETERMINATIONS
Local Dealer Says Wrong
Statements Were Made Be-
fore Legislative Probe.

The activity of the legislative coal
probe committee has caused big
stir among the coal dealers in this
vicinity. At the meeting held yester-
cay in the Jersey City Court House
three cases of alleged discrimination
were disclosed and more are to fol-
low, it is declared.
Two of the firms said to be involved
in the alleged discrimination are local
dealers, the Paul Brothers, of 76
Washington avenue, and Tegen 81
Wiebke, of 1872 Clinton avenue. The
third concern is the E. L. Young Coal
Company, of sos Grand street, Jersey
City.
Thomas Evans, chief salesman of
the Lehigh Valley Coal Sales Com
Iiany was the chief witness before
the probe committee yesterday, and
admitted his concern practised dis
elimination in favor of the Young
firm and the two Newark coal deal
ers. He said the Young company got
their coal at reduction of so cents
O ton on q 1.000-ton contract. thus
saving about $500.
Mr.. Evans said he did not know at
just what price the Newark dealers
got their coal, but he estimated that
as a result of the reduced prices he
extended to them the Paul brothers
must have gained about $1,000 and
the Tegen & Wiebke, firm upwards of
! $500.
State Comptroller Edwards, of the
Young Company, was placed on the
stand, but was not well enough &C.
quainted with the business to give
any tangible information to the COM
mittee
William Paul, jr., of 1880 Broad
street, of Paul Bros, denied emphat-
icaily that his firm had proflted by
any discrimination in its favor. He
said all the dealers paid the same
price for their coal
"There is no such thing" he said.
"That statement Is absolutely incor-
rect. There is no discrimination in
our favor or anybody else's."
At the offices of the Young Com
pany statement would be issued re-
garding the charges, because the
manager wasn't in"

TO IMPROVE
R. R. MAIL SERVICE
East Orange Postmaster Has
Plan for Early Morning

Attempts are being made by POST
master E. Tracey Lanterman, Of East
Orange, to induce the officials in
charge Of the mail service of the
Lackawanna Railroad to collect
mail about o'clock each morning at
the East Orange station. His aim
is TO have the mail which il ready
to be dispatched after 11:19 O'Clock
nights picked up in order to reach
Philadelphia. Washington. Boston.
Harrisburg and Intermediate points
in time for the first delivery in those
cities in the morning.
Mail collected in the city after
10:3 30 o'clock at night is not dispatched

lowing morning This means that
letters and packages are kept at the
East Orange office for eight hours
each day The last mail is sent out
of the Office in time for the 1913
train each night.
Mr. Lanterman predicts that il his
efforts are successful the service will
be greatly improved. He made the
request 10 the railroad officials Sic
weeks ago, and though a definite re-
ply has not been received, he is con-
fident the idea will be acceptable to
the officials.

P R. R. OWES CITY
$17,6S7 WATER TAX
Meters in WaverIy Yards Found
Not to Have Registered
in Several Years.

After thorough investigation by
Chief Accountant David Holmes, OF
the water department of the Board
of Works, it has been discovered that
the Pennsylvania railroad is n debtor
of the city to the extent of S17-681.54
for back water taxes. Mr.. Holmes
found a meter on the railroad prop
erty located at the Waverly freight
station that had not been registering
since 1906.
The matter was taken up at the
meeting of the board yesterday and
was referred to Commissioner Charles
f. Kraemer. Chief Accountant Holmes
and Chief Engineer Morris r. Sher-
rerd. The three will confer with the
railroad officials with view of coll
lecting the amount due.
The meters were reported to Mr..
Holmes by an inspector as IN bad
shape and not registering. After an
investigation it was found that there
was a second meter in the freight
station that was also in bad working
order and after repairing the meters
and taking account of the water used
| for the following month Ii was found
that the Pennsylvania Railroad was
indebted to the city for s17,6S7.54.
! In his report to the Board of Works
Accountant Holmes said: II found
that no charge had been made for
water used since December, 1906, and
by estimating the amount due on a
/ basis of present consumption the bill
amounted to $16,33734 In making my
investigation 1 found another meter
on the same property, on which no
=, charge had been made during year
of 1912. The amount due on this
meter based on the present consump-
ton would amount to $40. 301.7O. The
discounts available on back amounts
would reduce the charge on both
meters to s17,687.54 net.
| When officials of the Pennsylvania
We're seen this morning and asked
what would be done about payment
of the back taxes they we're too sur.
prised to make much comment about

said that the first he had heard OF

reading the story in the papers thi:
morning. "As soon as we receive no
tice from the Board of Works tht
matter will be taken up, but at thu

CAMELS SOON COMMON
IN AMERICAN DESERTS,
Texas Stockmen Plan to Import Two
Hundred From Orient.

]. 81. Trimble, one Of the leading
stockmen of Texas, is at the head Of
an association which purposes to trans
port camels from the oriental deserts
to those Of New Mexico, Arizona and
California and the semiarid wastes of
Texas. The association purposes to
import 200 camels and place them on a
ranch on the Rio Grande, about $50
miles south Of Cape Verde.
The areas mentioned, although they
offer great possibilities to the seeker
after valuable metals, are little trav-
ersed either by railroads or wagon
roads, such as would be suitable for
motor traffic, for the soil, which is
largely drifting sand, makes the con-
struction of durable roadways impos-
sible.
The camel, with his thick padded
feet, seems to have been expressly de-
signed by nature for just this sort Of
travel, and, added to it's ability to trav-
ell over these sandy wastes without tir-
ing, the animals other characteristics,
it's swiftness, burden bearing power
and the fact that it can go long dis
tances without food or water, make
it as available for these American des-
ert regions as for those of the orient.
This is not the first occasion on which
an effort has been made to start camel
culture in the United States. Jefferson
Davis, when he was secretary of war
in President Pierce's cabinet, was the
originator of a project for the raising
Of camels by the government That
experiment also was made in the
neighborhood of Cape Verde, and the
old buildings, modelled after a caravan
sary in Asia Minor, are still in exist
ence, although now dilapidated.
With the idea that the camels would
be useful in Indian warfare because
they could carry dispatches more
swiftly than horses and that in other
ways they could be made useful in the
deserts, the government imported forty
camels, with twelve Armenian drivers
and their families, in 1856.
But just when the camels were about
to demonstrate their ability to be OF
service in the new land the breaking
out Of the civil war and the election of
Davis to the presidency Of the Confed'
eracy interfered.

LOBBYING IS DEAD
AS A PROFESSION
President Says It Will Soon Be

O"S'a's Aroused py Cnar9eS MADE by
Colonel Martin M. MuIhaII Against

ers-Lobby Out Of Business In Capt.
toll Is General Opinion.
The lobby is out of business so far as
national legislation is concerned. It
has ceased to embarrass the admins
tration. When the present investiga-
ton ends lobbying as a profession will
be classed with the dodo and other
things extinct.
That is the view taken by President
Wilson. When he saw the newspaper
correspondents following the recent ex-
pose Of the lobby in Washington fos-
tered by the National Association of
Manufacturers, the president wore an
expression that was distinctly one of
pleasure at the revelations. His first
remark indicated that he was greatly
pleased with the latest lobby develop
ments, although he did not care to dis
cuss them in detail.
Discusses the Expose.
The president made it very plain that
he is behind the move for full and
complete inquiry into every phase Of
the question. He believes that the
charges of Judge Lovett and others that
an attempt has been made to hold up
Wall streets interests on behalf Of GER
In To- no Nof
| ton of Manufacturers crushed or made
congressman at the whim of its officials
and that subterranean methods have
been used in creating terrorism in ma
tional legislative halls should all be
thoroughly investigated. And the presi-
dent himself is the authority for the
statement that the public must know
the truth, no matter who may be be-
smirched or what their political belief
may be.
President Wilson briefly discussed
the Mulhall charges made recently
against the National Association Of
Manufacturers, which have since had
wide circulation.
When Mr.. Wilson made his first dec
| laratiOn that "a mum erOuS and inSidi-
Gus lobby" was operating in Wash
ington he had no idea that such
charges as made by Colonel Martin
Mulhall would be brought out, but he
said he was in favor Of Investigating
all charges and had no doubt the SEN
ate committee would have free hand
The president told his callers the accu-
sations in the Mulhal statement had
been called to his attention just before
their publication.
