tries were dependent for Germany on coal.
but the war operations having cut Off the
supply these same countries are now
turning to the United States.
Denmark and Sweden purchase almost
all of their coal from the United King
dom, and distance and high freight rates
will handicap the American shipper in
competing for this trade when conditions
return to normal But Sweden has
bought some American coal during the
Ia st few months and has recently turned
to Germany for coal and coke. France.
it Is declared, stands ready to purchase
in the United States if prices can be ar
ranged. Italy is threatened with coal
famine, and it Is reported to the depart
ment by cable from Madrid that Spain

MOTHER Of DEAD F[|ER
TOLD OF FATAL FALL
Funeral Arrangements for DR.. Cecil
Malcolm Peoli Await
Her Word.

Arrangements for the funeral OF Dr.
Cecil Malcolm Peoli, aviator, VINO was
killed on the aviation field at Coliese
Park Yesterday by the falling OF his
biplane probably will not be made un-
til his mother is heard from. 1t was
not until this morning that James Lee
Simmons of the Washington Aeroplane
Company succeeded in locating Mrs.
Peoli at 1907 Sunset boulevard. Los
Angeles, Cal, and a message sent to
her probably will bring a response to-
night.
The body of the aviator was taken to
Gasch's undertaking establishment.
Hyattsville, yesterday afternoon and
embalmed. An examination of the body
disclosed a broken ankle, fracture of
the nose and numerous cuts and
bruises. His skull was fractured. and
death probably resulted from cerebral
hemorrhage and shock.
Turns Over Company's Affairs.
l. A. Scannen, member of the Peoli
Aeroplane Corporation, reached here
from New York this morning and
to Mr.. Simmons.
Tie dCClucHl tuiS HILL
Mr.. Simmons expressed the belief that
the trouble was caused by the failure
of DR.. Peoli to heed the warning given
him about the tail of the machine being
trif1e heavy. An iron weight of nine
ty-three pounds was taken to College
Park to be used as ballast, Mr.. Sim
mons stated, but DR.. Peoli made the
fight without using it.
Had the weight been used, Mr.. Sim
mons said. the accident probably would
not have happened, but without the
ballast the wind caused the biplane to
topple when 1t got beneath the tail and
there was no way for the aviator to
stop the descent.
Up for Ten Minutes.
DR.. Peoli had been up in the ma
chine fully ten minutes before the ac-
cident happened, and, it is stated. had
passed over many of the buildings of
the Maryland Agricultural College. He
returned to the aviation field and was
in the far corner. near Paint branch,
when the accident occurred.
The biplane is total wreck and
scarcely a piece of it as much as a
foot in length was found. DR.. Peoli
superintended the construction of the
machine, which was built in the shops
Of the Washington Aeroplane Company.
Sth and Water streets, and, 1t is stated,
he was advised about the tail being
too heavy before it was taken to the
aviation field.

ing a police pension fund, he recited

Street Railway Route Opposed


John Shugrue. as chairman of the
special committee to consider the pro-
posed street railway route through

had found. after careful canvass, that
80 per cent Of the property owners
along the route oppose the plan In
view of this. he did not consider II
wise for the organization to approve
the project, and, rather than continue
on any basis of Endorsement, he asked
to be relieved of the chairmanship
The committee was discharged and the
matter tabled.
The suggestion that authority be
vested in the board of Commissioners
of education. proposed by Charles s..
Shreve. resulted in a debate between
him and Mr.. Shugrue. The comparative
merits of the members of the Supreme
Court and of the board of Commission
ers and the question of their respective
citizenship was raised by Mr.. Shugrue,
who opposed the resolution.
Mr.. Shugrue Refers to Former Days.
"I hope the appointment of the board
of education will not be vested In the
board of Commissioners" said Mr.. Shu-
| grue I'VE are treading on danger
Gus ground They are three men who
| hardly know their way around the
| city, while the members Of the Supreme
| Court are appointed for life and re-
| main here always.
| He told of days when the power of
| appointment vested as now is again
\ proposed.
They were in a scrap all the time"
| continued Mr.. Shugrue, "and the Com
| missioners would tell them: Shut up.
| You've got nothing to say. Resign. or
keep quiet"
| He said that the Commissioners
| change just as the weather bureau
| changes the weather. He further said
| that they are brought here by influence
from Pittsburgh or Newark to get their
Jobs.
Mr.. Shreve Cites Law.
| Mr.. Shreve, answering. cited the law
to show that there was legal assurance
that the members Of the board of Com
missioners shall be local residents,
while there is no such protection re-
garding the bench. An accidental con-
dition. such as complained Of by Mr..
| Shugrue, he said. Is not likely to per-
| sist There is no moro reason why the
| court judges should appoint the board

they should appoint the policemen or
