miniStratOr, Gives Order
to State administrators
in Conference.

International News Service:
WASHINGTON, oct. Retail
coal prices must drop. DR.. Harry A.
Garfield. coal administrator. meet
ing score of state fuel administra
tors here today. gave this order.
He warned the state administrators
that there would be attempts upon
the part of retail dealers TO evade
the order of Oct. 1, reducing retail
prices.
Figures were presented by DR..
Garfield TO show that the margin of
profit, now demanded BY dealers is
exorbitant. He pointed out that
even with increased la Dor and pro
duction costs. the retail price can be
materially lowered.
Reports Presented.
Reports of the federal trade COM
mission were presented showing that
coal costs in a score or more of the
leading cities are too great. These
figures, as we'll as estimates drawn
by the fuel administration. were
carefully discussed by the confer
ence and probable prices in individ-
ual states were taken up.
Or. Garfield explained his plan for
an additional margin of profit Of 30
per cent over the profits of 1915.
He declared that state administra-
tors will find that this plan will re-
duce coal prices in their states TO
considerable extent and warned
them that it was their duty TO see
that the reductions were made.
Labor Troubles Settled.
Tennessee and Kentucky labor
troubles are settled for the time
being at least. A proposed basis Of
settlement of difficulties, put forth
by the fuel administration, was sub
stantially ratified by the operators
at a conference this morning The
agreement must still be ratified by
the miners, however, meeting at
Knoxville. Tenn, Thursday.
Herbert G. Hoover, food admins
traitor, took a hand in the coal situa-
ton today, when he addressed the
state administrators. He pointed
out that the food situation is largely
dependent upon the coal situation
and urged all state administrators
TO use drastic measures 70 bring coal
prices down in their territories.

! WASHINGTON, oct. . - The
trail Of German gold through the
held of intrigue in diplomatic cir
cles; spreading of sabotage and un-
rest doctrines in the labor world.

opinion along un-American lines
was slowly being uncovered today.
The long arm Of the department
of justice was stretched TO remote

the un-American methods which
have been used in the effort TO array
public sentiment against the par
ticipation of the United States in the
effort 10 crush German autocracy.
Methods Unique.
The methods that are being used
are unique. Nothing is being taken
for granted. Men whose names have
appeared on checks seized in raids
on headquarters of agitators: on
others secured by representatives of
the intelligence bureaus of the state,
war, navy and justice departments;
and on others taken from banks in
which German agents maintained

the reasons for the money payments
thus represented.
Many of these payments are in
every way legitimate. But the de-
partment Of justice has reasons 10
believe that others were not. And
it is 10 uncover the latter payments
and TO reveal the beneficiaries that
the agents of the department today
were " )rking tooth and nail.
Startling Facts Revealed.
The facts already established.
which can be made public show:
That two big banking con
Germs in New York city held
checking and treasury accounts
for German agents other than
Count Won Bernstorff during the
months in which the submarine
negotiations were proceeding
and also that these accounts
were not disclosed when the am
bassador was sent back home.
That similar accounts were
in existence in Chicago. Phil
adelphia. New Orleans and San
Francisco.
Money Transferred.
That money for these ac-
counts were transferred TO Mex
leo City and TO certain South
and Central American capitals.
and there paid 10 German
agents
That many Of the payments
from these accounts while listed
under statements that seemed
legitimate on the surface actually
were for much LANCER sums than
could actually have been used
for that purpose.

portion of the cash in question was
