PUTS CURB ON
NAVY FUEL COST
Daniels Orders Coal and Oil Producers to
Deliver-Price Fixed Later
By United States.

Washington. June l9.-Secretary Dan
iels has ordered coal and oil producers to
supply the enormous quantities needed
by the navy at prices to be fixed later
by the president, when the federal trade
commission has determined fair rate.
The navy will use l,750,000 tons of coal
and 50000000 barrels of oil purchased
under this application of the authority
granted by Congress.
Similarly, steel for the entire navy
building program is being bought at a
rate Fixed when Secretary Daniels re-
iected the proposals of the steel makers
as too high.
Mr.. Daniels said yesterday that the
coal operators proposed to furnish navy
coal at q rate of 1896 a ton at the
mine. The navy has been paying S2.ss a
ton delivered. The secretary directed the
companies to ship immediately-the or
ders being prorated among the produc-
ers-agreeing to pay a tentative price of
1888 at the mines pending a report from
the federal trade commission. If the
commission determines higher rate is
justified because of increased cost of
production, the department will equalize
payments at the rate fixed. If 1888 is
too high. however payments on future
shipments will be curtaied to bring the
entire purchase to the commissions rate.
The S2,33 rate is being advanced by the
government ION account" at present.
Oil quotations submitted, Mr.. Daniels
said, ranged from sl.5s to sl.s6 bar
rel, delivered at Port Arthur, although
the present rate is SO cents barrel at
that point. The department directed the
producers to fiji its orders for 50,000,000
barrels, leaving the question of price to
be determined by the trade commission.
The arrangement regarding steel or
ders. the secretary said, leaves ''hand-
some profit" for the producers.

MISS O'BRIEN
GETS 1925, 900
Verdict for That Amount Is Awarded
Her in Manning Breach of
Promise Suit.

New York June l9.--Miss Honora MAY
O'Brien was yesterday awarded yer
diet of S225,000 in her million.dollar
breach of promise suit against John b.
Manning, octogenarian millionaire. The
verdict is the largest ever awarded in a
breach OF promise action in Queens coun-
ty and one of the largest on record any
where.
A motion to set the verdict aside on
the ground that it was excessive was
made by d. r. G. Wylie, associated with
Martin w. Littleton in the defense, and
Justice James C. Cropsey set next
Wednesday for argument of the motion.
Manning, who was in court with his
daughter, Mary, took the verdict coolly,
despite his SIS years. His face gave no
indication that the amount fixed by the
jury was a surprise to him. Immedi
ately after the verdict was announced,
Manning and his sister hurried from the
court room and drove of in a taxieab in
the direction of Manhattan.
Miss 0Brien was not in court when
the verdict was opened. Her counsel,
Stephen c. Baldwin, said she was at her
place of employment. She was advised
by telephone of the verdict.
In the verdict, which was sealed
one, the jury fixed 100000 as compen-
satory damages and $4,000 punitive
damages, in view of the failure of the
defendant TO prove, as charged, that
the breach of promise suit was the result
of a conspiracy.
The suit, which was tried in Long
Island City, attracted widespread atten
ton on account of the youth of the plain
tiff, who is 81 and the age of the de-
PENDANT, and because of the large sum of
damages sought.
The case went to the jury Saturday.
Justice Cropsey, in charging the jury, |
indicated that the plaintiff had made out !
a fair case and was entitled to damages. /
A quick verdict was expected, but the /
jury was out several hours without !
agreeing, and was instructed to bring in 4
a sealed verdict, which was opened yes
terdsy.

In his closing words the speaker ex

ness, Lever Explains
THE PRESIDENT
SENDS WARNING
Opponents of Legislation, if
Successful, Must Assume
the Responsibility

Washington, June l9.--The food con.
troll bill under which it is proposed to
make Herbert G. Hoover food controller
or administrator, was the center of at.
tention in both houses of Congress yes
terday.
While the bill was being explained to
the House by Representative Lever. a
letter from President Wilson to Repre-
sentative Dorland was made public in
which the president warned opponents
of both food bills that should they de-
feat them they must be prepared to take
the responsibility for food conditions and
prices which were predicted to follow.
With the president urging its passage
and with strong elements resisting it,
the question is whether il can be forced
through without being so emasculated az
to render it ineffective.
The belief here, however, Is that it
will be passed, and without being mate
rally weakened. The pressure of pub
lie sentiment for action is strong, and

is understood that the opposition is
founded largely on the antagonism of
the special interests which are fattening
on the producer and consumer as food
stuffs as well as OF fuel The fact that
labor has lined up back OF the
bill means much TO the support in both
houses. Furthermore, with murmurings
of grave discomfort the country over be-
cause OF the high price of foodstuffs, and
with talk of serious food riots, ii not
worse, it is felt here that Congress will
think twice before refusing action.
In opening yesterdays debate in the
House, Chairman Lever declared that to
bring "food crooks out into the sunlight
but not to iniure honest business, is the
aim of the food control bill A wave of
applause greeted his statement adding
strength to his prediction that the bill
will pass the House by large majority,
perhaps by the end OF the week.

1873 Ships Ordered for the
Emergency Fleet-Some
Are to Be of Wood

Washington, June l9.--The controver-
sy between General Goethals and Will
liam Denman, head of the United st ties
shipping board, was carried to the White
House yesterday, Mr.. Denman made an
appointment with the president for yes
terday afternoon. General Goethals also
sent in request for an appointment.
The trouble between the two men has
its origin in the steel ship versus wood
ship controversy Now it has taken a
new turn by reason of the refusal of
Denman TO sign contracts made by Goe
thals for steel for shipping at $95
ton. He has declared that he never will
sign contract at that figure, or any
thing like it. and calls such prices ex
orbitsnt.
The conviction grows here that either
Denman or Goethals will 90 as a result
Of the affair, for it seems impossible for
them to get along amicably. Meantime
the country and the allies are calling
for more ships.

DR.. Hillegas.

DIR. Milo B. Hillegas, commissioner of
education, was next introduced by Prin.
| cipal Green and gave an address which
was bristling with good cheer and en-
couragement for the friends of " S. A.
He assured his audience that both he
himself and the board of education have
the welfare of this institution at heart
and that in his travels about the state he
had yet to hear the first word of com
plant concerning graduate of this in
stitution. He then asked and answered
pertinent questions concerning the school
and its prospects, the first one being, "Do
you believe in this SCHOOL," To this DR..
Hillegas replied, without qualification,
thoroughly and completely. Last year
there were II junior high schools in the
state having an attendance of between
35 and 40. At present there are 35 APP
plications for junior high schools waiting
to be acted upon. Probably more than
one half will not give the last two years
work The state should have a unified,
great statewide agricultural system be-
ginning with the rural schools, then the
junior high schools. and then schools of
this type for those who could not 60
farther"
The next question which DIR. Hillegas
discussed was: do you anticipate any
marked changesi" The speaker said he
would answer yes and no, for both he
and the board of education wanted il dis
tinctly understood that they were will
ing to put any amount of money that
the state would allow into the boys, but !
that they are not willing to stand back |
of any proposition which does not pay. |
There must be a profit in every under |
taking on the farm. The boys must be /
taught how much to give for value re-
ceived
'Will there be a new dormitoryi" was
the next question. DIR. Hillegas said YES
to this question but that the apportion-
ment would not be available until July /
] and that the unsettled conditions in
general should caution .us to be patient.
DIR. Hillegas in closing stated that the
board Of education stood ready TO do
anything in its power that would lead to
the ultimate benefit Of our agricultural
schools.
a pleasing feature of the exercises was
the enthusiastic singing of school songs,
which L. 3. Johnson Of the
board Of education made some very fit
ting and telling remarks. He assured
his audience Of the interest of the board
in the agricultural school and that they
were looking for educational. material
and financial returns from IL. With the

able to assimilate.
But when war cuts down all sup
plies, nations begin to exercise their
brains. The folks are then informed
that food is eaten to be converted
into heat or power, and that certain
foods produce, under digestion, GER
tain units Of heat, or power, which
units are called calOries.
Now, if it were not for this sense
called taste, which we have cultivat-
ed to curse us, socially, morally and
physically, we would, every one OF
US, at all times, be eating the foods
containing the most calOries; that
is, we would eat intelligentIy More
over, we would eat economically, for
it is fact that the cheaper foods are
the higher in calOries.
One day, way back, Mrs. Smith
said: William, l declae l must run

Heaven only knows when man be-
gan tearing at the flesh of his warm
blooded fellow-creatures His dem
titiOn would indicate that he never
was intended for it. But he gets
riotous over the high cost of a pound
of 800-calory veal, when he can get
fish or cereals at half the cost, with
twice the poWer-producing quality.
But you don't like to be talked at
in calories, and you don't like rice
rather than potatoes, fish rather than
beef, cornmeaI rather than that nice
white, light flour. Taste! Habit!
That's all. The good sense, the econ
omy, the physical progress lie in
combating the perverted taste. War

BRAINLESS EATING.-Maybe the
hard necessities of war will shoot
lot of sense into folks in the matter
of eating. The reader will kindly
permit us to figure some good out of
war, if we can, won't he, or she?
Certain it is that in no other mat
ter has man made so big a fool of
himself, and it appears likely that
the race would be better off if it had
no sense called taste. At any rate, it
is the sense which man has permitted
to corrupt himself, physically, men
tally and morally.
Many of our social evils, most Of
our economic weaknesses and about
all of our physical ills can be traced
back to perverted taste. Charge up
against ambition to Give high" fully

lies and disasters; charge up against
