ROADS URGED
Federal Trade Commission
Says Federal Pools Alone
Will Save Country From
Coal Shortage.
ONE MEMBER DISSENTS

WASHINGTON. June e0.-Govern-
nent pools of coal production and
distribution and of rail and water
transportation were recommended to
congress today by the federal trade
commission as the only means of
avoiding a disastrous coal shortage
next winter.
The commission believes" says the
report, submitted after many months
of investigation ordered by congress,
that the coal industry is paralyzing g
the industries of the country, and that
the coal industry itself Is paralyzed
by the failure of transportation.
There are enough coal cars in the
country but not enough are delivered
to the mines and these cars are not
moved to the point OF consumption
with the greatest expedition nor are
they promptly discharged"
Two Recommendations
In view of these conditions, the
commission recommends that:
"First-That the production and dis
tribution OF coal and coke be conduct

SUSPECT DENIES He
MADE TREAS0NABLE
UTTERANCES HERE

Charges filed with Prosecutor Stray
er yesterday resulted in man en-
ployed at the Swayne- Robinson fac
tory being brought to police headquar-
ters today to affirm or deny allega-
tions that he had made reasonable ut
terances Monday evening while the
Red Cross parade was moving along
Main street.
When the man explained he was a
member of the Indiana National Guard
and would be called to the colors in
August to fight for his country, and
that he had two brothers serving In
the American army at the present
time, Chief Goodwin decided that no
action in the case was necessary.
1t was alleged by two men that the
man they complained against had In
suited the American flag and had de-
clared that the Red Cross marchers
were bunch Of yellow dogs" These
charges were emphatically denied by
the man they were preferred against

Coliseum Directors
Reply to Charges
Made by Red Cross

From the management of the Coli
scum in reply to a statement from
Mrs. Gayle, chairman Of the Red Cross
society. as to charge for use OF Coli
scum for the Red Cross ball published
in the Palladium June Is:
The Richmond Athletic Association
has about eighty stockholders and the
manager has no authority from them
to give free of charge, the use OF the
hall to any person or society, and we
consider the thirty.dollar donation a
very liberal one and quite as much as
any company, corporation or indfvid-
ual gave to the cause on that occas-
ion, and We know quite we'll that there
were few If any Of our stockholders
that had the pleasure of attending the
banquet given the following night and
paid for out OF the receipts from the
entertainment given at the Coliseum.
For the information of the public we
should like very much to know il the
chairman, who made the complaint,
contributed any amount to the fund or
even paid admission to the hall on
that occasion.
In conclusion, will say, that the
management considers the criticism
was unjust and at this time very much
uncalled for. AS the Red Cross COM
mittee certainly is expecting liberal
donations from a great many of the
stockholders Of the company referred
to.

Lynch handled Finly H. Gray's re-
cord in congress without gloves and
the crowd applauded enthusiastically.
He pointed out that while In congress
Gray was one Of the leaders of the an

year, as we are now doing, TO raise
an army to defend ourselves against
that great military power, and would
our fleet be able to defend our shores
against the greatly superior fleet of
our enemy? Will you return Gray to
congress to permit him to repeat past
mistakes, mistakes so affecting the vi

him forever as man absolutely de-

Lynch closed his address by plead

and emphasizing the importance of en-
acting a Republican protective tariff.

Only Another of
Congress Errors

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Instead
of appropriating $4,000 for next years
salary of Governor Harding Of the
Panama Canal Zone, congress by mis-
take, appropriated 100000. Some one
apparently added another cipher to the
original figures.
The mistake was discovered today
in printed copy OF the sundry civil
bill Investigation showed that the
same error existed in the engrossed
copy of the bill. It had escaped the
attention Of all members of both
houses, apparently, and the bill hav-
ing been approved by the president it
Is now the law Of the land that Gov
ernor Harding shall receive next year
ten times hts present salary.
The mistake. Of course, will be rec
titled. but 1t will take an act Of con-
gress to do It.

Lost-a pair of trousers to one pa
jana suit and q coat to another.
Red Cross detectives are in search
OF two garments which have suddenly
disappeared from the work shop. Pa
jamas made OF striped ginghams are
being made for convalescing soldiers.
In packing these garments Tuesday.
the startling discovery was made that
one coat and one pair of trousers were
not mates.
OF course it won't do to send just a
coat and no trousers or vice versa.
Neither will a suit not matched, be
acceptable. So it is now left to the
person or persons who have any of
these garments in their home to re-
turn them to the headquarters at
oLce.
