EXPECT BOOST
IN COAL PRICES
District Despite Late Ar
rival of Fuel, Faces
Zoe Ton Raise.

Washington faces a rise in the pres
ent scale of coal prices to the con-
sumner.
A meeting of committee appoint
ed by the District fuel administrator
met in the office of Io"~ '. Weaver
yesterday and discussed the results
of their investigation. 1t was under
stood that the price to be set would
be announced upon adjournment.
No announcement was made. how
ever, and none of those attending
the conference would discuss it. II
is probable that the new price to the
consumer will be announced in a
few days.
Just how great an increase will be
allowed the dealers by Mr.. Weaver
is not known. Coal CnaIers for some
time have agitated the question of
a rise in price Of fuel and asked that
Mr.. Weaver allow an increase.
They pointed out the increase in
the cost of running their businesses
which advance was not met by an
equal rise in the price of fuel, they
declare.
VIII Conserve Coal
Coal yards must be kept on a 100
per cent efficient basis they declare,
whether there is coal in the city for
them to sell or not. Labor costs have
risen In all departments and In ad-
dition the cost of living has af-
tected them as we'll as all others.
Approximately 20 cents a ton may
be the amount allowed. though Just
what the amount will be is not
known. Some increase is said to be
imperative, however, as already sew
eral smaller dealers have been forced
to suspend business and many others
are planning to do so unless a higher
price for their commodity is allowed
them.
Every effort will be made by Fuel
Administration officials to conserve the
coal which arrived in Washington yes
terday and all future shipments.
Arrival of 173 carloads yesterday is
expected by officials to relieve for a
Tune the need. felt for fuel here, and
Jesse c. Suter has been appointed by
l.. A. Snead, Of the Federal Fuel Ad-
ministration, to take active charge of
all future shipments In cooperation
with John L. Weaver.
Ofhcials declared yesterday that in
all probability the threatened fuel
famine which faced the city has been
averted, and it is thought that at no
time in the future will the shortage
De as great as it has been of late.

RAILWAY POOL
TOBE HEADED
BY ELISHA Lee
A. W. Thompson Second in
Authority Federal Own
ership Improbable.
By TRACY HAMMOND LEWIS.

Further details OF the plans of pool
ing the equipment, trackage, term
inals and employees of the Eastern
railroads were worked out yesterday
at meeting of the operating COM
mittee Of vice presidents which will
serve under the general direction OF
the Railroad War Board.
Elisha Lee. general manager Of the
Pennsylvania lines. East, will head
this committee, with A. W. Thomp-
son, vice president in charge of the
Baltimore and Ohio. second in au-
thority.
Following the meeting rumors were
circulated that government railway
ownership was the next step in the
solution of the nations freight prob
lens.
Government control to an extent
not much greater than is now in
operation Is the limit TO which
further radical steps will lead. The
administration is said TO consider
that little or no advantage would &C.
cure were the government to take
complete charge of transportation.
The power it wieIds through the Rail-
road War Board is declared to be all
sufficient.
In One Big system.
With this body is lodged the au-
thority to divert from any road TO
any other road any men or equip
ment that may be needed, and to
use the trackage of all roads as
il they belonged to a common sys-
TEN. The purpose of this merger
is TO eliminate congestion and dup
lication of effort
It is difficult to foresee any con-
dition in which this new arrange
ment will not be a vast improve
ment on that previously in exist
ence. 1t is said that should it fail
government ownership will be the
next step.
Were the government to take over
the roads il might either appoint
new Executives OF retain the exc
cuttres already in office. The FIRST
alteraabVe Is not feasible, for IT
woH1 involve discarding expert
enced men Ior others of little or
no railroad experience. with the re-
suit that transportation would be
in greater difficulties than before
Same Service Probable.
There is no reason to assume that
either Mr.. Lee. Mr.. Thompson, or any
who might be chosen in their places.
would work more efficinrtly for the
government than they have for the
railroads now emplayirg them
One end alone would be Eained by
government ownership. Possible COM
plications involved by the violation Of
existing statutes forbidding the combi-
nations of railroads or pooling of in
terests would be avoided This legis-
lation was passed in peace time, and it
has been generally agreed that it will
not be enforced during the period of
the war. This is possible since the
government alone can direct prosecu-
ton.
The railroads are much better or
ganized. since the pooling arrange
ment, to meet war emergencies, than
the administration itself.
Some time ago they furnished the
government with a list of 400 nom
| essentials, the transportation of
| which it was deemed advisable TO
prohibit. but as yet nothing has been
done in connection with the sugges-
ton. and the question is being ham

POPWELL-PiTTS,

An. interesting affair of last even
ing was the wedding of Miss Flori-
belle Powell and. Mr. Paul Pitts,
which took place at the home of the
brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. c. w.
Powell at 1880.
The decorations were most attrac-
tive. The parlor was in white and
green, quantities OF smilaX, ferns,
palms and white flowers being used.
The dining room was decorated in
white and pink, and a number OF tiny
flags added a patriotic note. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. w.
II. Chapman, of the Presbyterian
church, and the wedding march was
played by Mrs D. c. Houston, a sis
ter of the bride
The BRIDE who is beautiful girl
was lovely in dress of white satin
combined with Georgette crepe and
trimmed with braid. The costume
was completed by dainty veil caught
on the sides with white rosettes and
clusters of orange blossoms. A re
ception followed the wedding.
The BRIDE who has lived in Bruins
wick only a few years, is a great ia
vorite socially, her beauty and dispo
sition having won her a delightful
popularity. The groom is connected
with the Brunswick Marine Construc
ton corporation, and is a young mar
of sterling qualities and has a host
oil friends.
A large number of handsome am
appropriate gifts attested the popular
ity Of the young couple. Mr.. and Mrs
Pitts will be with Mr., and Mrs. Pop
well for the present.

HONOR COAST GUARD HEROES.
Men Who Died in Course of Duty to
Be Extolled on Tablet.

Those officers and enlisted men of the
coast guard who, in the course of more
than century of its service, have met
death in the course of their duty in
trying to save life and property at sea
are to have their names immortalized.
A bronze tablet is to be set up in the
masonry of the wall of the fortifica-
tions at the Coast Guard Academy at
New London, Conn. on which their
names and fame will be eXtolled
Prominent among those will be the
heroes of the recent tragedy off Ocean
City, Md. when ten members of the
crew of the cutter Yamacraw were
drowned in attempting to rescue the
crew of a stranded vessel during a
storm and high seas. This was the
greatest disaster met by the service
and. strangely enough. the entire roster
of its heroes who met death in the
line of duty will hardly number twenty
five.

Better Than Calome]
! Thousands Have Discovered Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets Are
Harmless Substitute.

De-. Edwards Olive TabIets-the
substitute for caIonei-are 8 mild
but sure laxative, and their effect on
the liver IS almost instantaneous. They
are the result of DR.. Edwards deter
mination not to treat liver and bowel
complaints with caIonel. His efforts
to Danish it brought out these little
olive-coi0red tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or caIo-
mel. They take hold OF the trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure the
liver at the expense Of the teeth :?
Calemel sometimes plays havoc with
the gums. SO do strong liquids. 1t is
best not to take calonlel, but to let DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "duiiness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and disordered liver. Take Dr.. Ed
