Government Closes
Coal Prosecution
Not More than One or Two
Dismissals of Indictments
Are Expected

The government rested its case yes
tcrdav in the United States District
Court against the smokeless coal
operators charged with violation Of the
Sherman law. George Gordon Battle,
Henry A. Wise and other counsel for
the defence moved for dismissal of the
indictments. Judge Grub may grant
the motions in some cases with the
consent of the government, but the
prosecution does not eXpec. such a
decision in more than two or three
cases.
In response TO questions put by John
b. Stanchfield, of counsel for the de-
fence. Leonard Burrowes, jr, president
of Cashier, Curran & Bullitt, Inc, sell
ing agent for the defendants, testified
that $40, 900 900 tons of coal were mined
in the United States in 1915. This
amount was 7 per cent greater thar
in 1915, he said, and the demand this
year would be heavier still. a. France
and Italy alone wanted from 100000
70 100000 tons.
His firm, the witness said, did not
control prices in accordance with the
circulars sent out. but discussed mar
ket conditions and prices each season
with representatives Of the operators.
After our February conference with
the operators. which provided for a
minimum of S2.75 a ton at the mines,
Mr.. Burrowes said. 1--WE had an ava
lanche Of bids at So ton and sold SO
per cent of our output at that contract

Japan Will Lease
Ships to Allies if
She Gets Supplies
British and French Missions
Consult Envoy Sato
in Washington
From The Tribune Bureau J

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington, July Negotiations
between the British and French war
missions and Ambassador Sato on the
part which Japan is TO take in the war
have been proceeding since soon after
the arrival Of the British mission here.
It is reported that the japanese Am
bassador assured the Entente repre-
sentatives that Japan was ready to as
si,t the Allied cause in solution of
the shipping problem. Ambassador
Sato took up the subject with Arthur
j. Balfour. British Foreign Minister,
and VI. Vivian. president Of the French
mission, and General Joffre.
Ambassador Sato did not expect
America TO ask for assistance, although,
according TO a statement made by him,
Japan may be asked to cooperate with
the other Allies" as the building OF
ships against the destructive power of
German submarines was declared TO be
an urgent question at this time. Japan,
known that she cannot herself produce
the raw materials needed for the con-
otruction of ships, and that if she is to
give assistance in this direction she
must be assured OF obtaining steel,
which would come principally from the
United States.
Japan Seems Bargain Hunting
There are evidences, too, that Japan
is bargain hunting in the matter OF
ships. and that she will require full
compensation at war rates for the use
of those that she is expected to fur
rish for the accommodation OF the
needs Of the Entente Allies.
The subject is earnestly discussed in
Japan, where the shipping question is
becoming rapidly one Of the liyest n

Missing Pomeroy
Girl Found Living
In Philadelphia
Sufragist Worker Was En-
ployed in Factory Under
Assumed Name

fF-or a STAT Correspondent of The rrtIael
Philadelphia, July 2.-Velma Pom
eroy. the missing suffragist worker
from New York, and her father, Charles
" .Pomerop, former justi'e Of the
Montana Supreme Court, were re-
united on a rain-swept Philadelphia
street at $3.50 o'clock tonight. The
meeting took place after private de-
tectives, employed by the Pomeroy
family, and the Philadelphia police had
begun to despair of seeing the girl to-
night. although a few hours earlier 4
had been announced that she had been
found.
Operatives of the SCHNEIDER Detective
Agency. of New York, learned that Miss
Pomeroy was staying in Philadelphia
rooming house under the name OF Ruth
Standish. They learned she was en-
ployed in a factory and would return
at 5 o'clock. They camped on her door
step.
Shortly after o'clock Miss Anna VI.
Mickey, secretary of the transient de-
partment of the Young Woman's Chris
tian Association, telephOncd the detec-
tive bureau.
"Velma Pomeroy is in my Office,
Miss Mickey announced, land wants to
see her father at once
A few moments later Judge Pomeroy
was speeding toward the Y. W. c. A.
Velma. the matron and another detec-
tive gathered at the head of the steps
at the entrance to the building.
Nelma and her father had a long
talk. The young woman remained
there for the night. and Judge Pomeroy
went to hotel. He said his daughter
wanted to go back TO Kilispell, Mont.
TO see her mother. and that he would
take her there. The only reason ad-
vanced for her fight was that the girl
feared she was not making good IN
New York, and had determined to
strike out anew and win success under
another name.
Velma confided to "Daddie' the story
Of her adventures in Philadelphia. The
day of her arrival she secured work IN
a tobacco factory at $3.50 week. She
worked two days. and then got a sit
uation as an usher in a downtown mo-
ton picture theatre. She was within
a stones throw of Police Headquar-
tiers for three days, while detectives
we're seeking her.

The first. Mary Eleanor Fitzgerald, az

rotary Of The anarchists No-Conscrip-
ton League, had been asked a few pre-
liminary questions by Harold A. Com
tent. Assistant United States Attorney,
when Berkman and Miss Goldman arose
and said:
The defendants concede that the
No-Conscription League was organized
for the purpose of fighting conscrip-
ton"
This method they maintained through
out the day. conceding what the gov
eminent sought TO prove through wit
nesses. Only the groundwork of the gov
ernment's case was laid yesterday The
defendants conceded that THE Blast

Goldman's magazine. published anti
conservation articles and that they had
either written them or assumed re-
sponsbility for them, and that they
sent anti-conscription material through
the mail.
Before the case actually proceeded

20 Mr.. Davis's statement that the COM
pany of which he is president man
ufactured all the aluminium in the
United States. Senator Reed read
from the report Mr.. Davis's assertion
that the government could not make
canteens without buying aluminium
from his concern.
Facts About Canteens
"Now. from the admissions of Mr..
Davis. it is clear that his company had
an absolute monopoly of the aluminium
business in the United States: Now
what has it been doing with the gov
eminent?
From his testimony il appears that
his company had an order from the gov
eminent for 100000 canteens at -
cents each, the canteens weighing hall
a Mound each. He tells the committee
that the cost of the aluminium enter
ing into the manufacture Of these cups
is 27iz cents for each one.
at appears from his evidence that
his concern only put about S3,OOO,OOU
into its property; that II made SZO,VOV',
600 last wear; that il accumulated
propertv worth S80,000,00O, and that II
is now contracting with the govern
ment Of the United States at an ad-
vance over the price 1t was charging
last year, and that the man who is
making the contract, to all intents and
purposes in behalf Of the government
and at the same time on behalf OF ms
company. is Mr.. Davis, who sits with
the Council of Defence as an adviser

Washington, July 1.-The coal price
controversy between Secretary Baker
and Secretary Lane is more matter
OF tactlessneSs and lack of cooperation
on the part of the Secretary of War
than a studied attempt to place Sec
rotary Lane in an embarrassing posi-
ton. Differences within the Cabinet
have not yet reached the point of bit
terness. it can be competently stated.
However, there arc pronounced vary
ing views on the purchasing policy the
government should follow.
One opinion held by both the Presi-
dent and all members of his official
family is that American producers
must not profit unduly as a result o.
war business. The President himself
and his two military aids, Secretaries
Baker and Daniels, may be said to ex-
cmplfy radical viewpoint in this
connection. They did not want war
and they feel that war was fosted
upon the country by public opinion
which found it's guidance in the propa-
ganda of big business. They there
fore feel that big business should be
the last to profit through war business.
In fact. if big business suffered lit
tie it would not grieve them.
Lane Has Conservative View
Secretary Lane, on the other hand,
holds a more conservative view. Big
business, instead of being in piratical
category with him, is quite as respon-
sive to the patriotic call of the nation
as the average citizen. Big business
needs leadership, stimulation and in
spiration. Given this, it will serve the
country as well as any other fraction
of our body polite, it is stated, is Sec
rotary Lanes position.
The more radical group, which was
anti-war up to April s. looks askance
at the concentration of big business in
fuence in the Council of National De-
fence. On nearly all the Council COM
mittees are found men who are actually
serving without self-interest, yet who
bear such finite relation to the bust
ness interests with which they are
dealing for the government that they
are placed in most embarrassing posi-
ton. For example. Chairman Peabody,
who was prime mover in the negotiation
of the So coal price. is a coal producer;
Arthur V. Davis. chairman of the Co
operative Committee on Aluminium, is
president of the Aluminium Company Of
America; r. II. bowman, chairman Of
the Lumber Committee, is president Of
the National Lumber Manufacturers
Association, and so on through the en-
tire advisory organization of the Coun-
Gil Of National Defence.
Presumption of Influence
Though. as matter of fact, the
great majority of business men serving
on the national defence organization
have served the government well, there

trade after the war.
Revolution in Shipping

impede the progress of our foreign
trade after the war.
Revolution in Shipping
at goes without saying that ship
ping enterprise has a most important
bearing upon the future Of our coun-
try's foreign trade. The war in Europe
has caused a great revolution in the
worlds shipping Norway has profited
most, followed by the United States and
Japan. Before the war there were not
more than five steamers in this coun-
try engaged in ocean-going services,
whereas now there are more than sew
enty plying the seas all over thSworld,
not counting many others which are
subsidized by the government.
THE expansion of shipping means
progress of foreign trade. On no pre-
vious occasion has this country ex-
perienced such shortage Of bottoms
as now. All the shipbuilding yards in
Japan are working at their full ca
pacity.
THE government is carefully consid-
ering what steps should be taken TO
meet the ever-growing demand for
cargo space which is felt at every Jap
anese port. Frequent increases OF
freight rates will be inevitable in these
circumstances so long as we cannot get
more steamers.
Sale Of Ships Involved
"In connection with the readjustment
of cargo space an important issue is
involved. viz, sales Of japanese steam
ers to foreign buyers. This matter re-
duires the careful consideration Of all
II -, To "a a
post bellum foreign trade.
Japan is now the only country in
the world that does legally prohibit
the sale Of steamers to foreign buyers.
Some people entertain pessimistic views
about Japan's trade after the war, but |
do not believe that the termination of
hostilities will at once adversely affect
the foreign trade of this country"
Foreign Traffic Manager Kurokawa,
Of the Nippon Yuhen Kaisha, is quoted
as having said:
"That the victims Of the German
submarines are running into a start
lingly large figure is well confirmed by
the reports at hand. That element is
p strong factor in the freight market
all over the world, particularly in
Oriental waters. Freight rates have
been raised TO an amazingly high plane.
"Ship owners have accordingly added
TO their wealth and are confident that
their good fortune will continue much
longer"
The majority of ships on the Pacific
at the present time are Japanese-owned,
and this situation brought about
through the success of the German
submarine operations and by the with
drawal of ships from freight service
for military use by Great Britain, has
caused great boom in the Japanese
charter market.
