lie tonight suggestions to the people
OF the State OF New York aimed 70
save millions OF tons OF coal and not
interfere in the progress Of the states
various industries.
These business men, through S. h.
Ditchett. chairman. have pointed out
the production of anthracite and bi-
luminous coal in the United States this
year will doubtless be greater than
ever before. They state the consump-
tion Of fuel to-day far exceeds the re-
qu.rements OF past periods. and insist
the American people can only avoid
distressful conditions this winter by
exercising the greatest care and intel
ligence in the use Of coal.
The suggestions which the committee
requested the Governor TO make public
follow:
|. Don't burn coal in an open CRATE,
for in such a practice rs per cent or
more OF the heat goes up the chimney.

1T was arranged he said. "that an
effort should be made 70 secure an
agreement among the distributors 20
cut down their expense by preventing
duplication OF delivery, and, failing in
this. that the state and national au-
thorities should take the matter up and
exercise their power TO accomplish this
result"
In connection with Dillon's statement
that milk should be sold in New York
City az retail for 10 cents a quart, he
said il was brought out at a conference
in New York last week that so per cent
of the milk now sold in that city Is
retailed az 10 and II cents and 40
per cent Is sold in bottles for IL cents.
Mr.. Belts declared that the State
Food Control Commission has already
granted the city the right to buy,
store, sell and distribute food, includ-
ing milk. and that il is ancient history
for Dillon to say that the city should
buy and distribute milk.
Mr.. Belts declared that Governor
Whitman had never been antagonlstlc
to billions department. to prove which
he quoted various statements OF the
Governor In which he expressed his
approval OF the departments work

Low RATES TO COAST
PROHIBITED BY l. c. c

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today ordered all railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce to
cease charging proportionately lower
freight rates on commodities shipped
from Eastern cities to the Pacific
coast than on goods from Eastern
cities to midcontinent points. The
order is effective October Is, 1917.
The commission found that the
lower rates charged to Pacific coast
points were not justified by existing
water competition, which is now said
to be a negligible factor, since all
ships are engaged in freight traffic
between the United States and Eu-
rope.
The commission ruled the railroads
are discriminating in favor OF barley,
beans, canned goods, asphaltum, dried
fruits, and wine from Pacific cDast
points to the eastern coast

The invention OF q Washington
scientist is being used by German
spies as one OF their most effective
instruments in secretly Transmitting
messages from this country to Ber-

The invention is that OF DIR. Paul
Bornsen. OF 3o1 Tennessee avenue
northeast, which makes It possible
to reduce a photograph five hundred
times. BY this method spies operat-
ing through channels intimately con-
nected with confidential bureaus OF
the United States Government could
send to Germany secret orders with
out fear OF detection!
The process Is known as prismatic

Agents of the imperial German
government purchased It under
