PRESIDENT HEARS bALFOUR ADDRESS
 AGAINST 1EUIONS
Has Seat in Gallery While British Minister Estab-
 fishes New Precedent.

Washington, May 5.-President Wilson occupied a seat in the execu- tive gallery of the house today while British Foreign Minister Balfour and members of the British mission were received on the floor. It was the first time as capitol historians could find that any president of the United States has ever appeared in the gall leries.
 President Wilson entered the ex- ecutive gallery unnoticed while Rep resentative Estinopal of Louisiana was reading in French, message from the president of tke chamber of deputies of Roumania. The message said the chamber of deputies hasten ed to express to the representatives of the American house it's warmest congratulations on joining the war against Germany.
 The house turned it's attention to MT. Balfour and his party who were escorted into the chamber to hand clapping and cheers. The president joined in the applause.
 MT. Balfour was immediately intro- duced by Speaker Clark and address, ed the house.
 "When I was young," he said, i've used to flatter ourselves that prog ress inevitably meant peace and that growth of knowledge was always ac- companied by growth of good will. We know better now, and we know there is such thing as power which can, with unvarying persistency, force all the resources of knowledge and civilization into one great task Of making itself the moral and ma terial master of the world It is against that danger that we, the free peoples of western civilization, have banded ourselves together"

OF COAL FOUND roo HIGH
 BY COMMISSION
Federal Trade Body Makes Preliminary Report After
 Long Investigation.

Washington, May 5.-Prevailing re- tail prices of anthracite coal are un- warranted and the. supply for next season is adequate, the Federal Trade commission stated today in a prelimi- nary report based on partially com- pleted investigation ordered by con- gress last winter The commission warns consumers against buying lar ger quantities of coal than usual this summer, saying there are symptoms now of such a buying panic as that which enabled spectators last winter to force prices above normal. "No good reason exists" said the report. "why prices should not be subject te the usual summer discount, but if the public is again so deceived as to in- dulge in a scramble for coal, the fla vorable situation may be nullified" :"
 The commission is keeping in close touch with the anthracite situation and promises to expose any unscrup- ulous dealer who seeks to mislead the public into belief that exorbi- tant prices are justified.
