LESSEN HEAT IN
 CONN. co. CARS

Heatless trolley cars to help win the war! Although the government's re- quest to save fuel by cutting down heat in cars does not mean the entire elimination of heat in tbe Connecticut company's cars, patrons have found 1t so during the last few days. "Yes, we are cutting out heat to a certain extent" said Manager c. H. Chapman of the Connecticut company today. He explained that it had been so re- quested by the government and that the company's stand was fully ex- plained in an advertisement published in yesterdays papers.

Chief Johnson admitted tosa Far mer representative that there. Is not more than one ton of hard coal in any one engine house. The depart ment's annual consumption of hard coal is about 2,220 tons.
 The city, through the Board of Con tract and Supply, was unable to make contracts with any dealers to keep the department supplied and was un- able to obtain coal in any large quan- titles. Several dealers came to the city's assistance yesterday and sap piled seven tons, which was carted by the departments wagons.
 Siemon said today 'We will get coal for them. Don't think for mo- ment we would let the city be en- dangered by loss of it's fire appara- tus.''
 The rush for coal cards continued today. People of all classes stood in line awaiting their turns to get a half ton of coal. At 10:S0 o'clock half of the days allotment had been disposs ed of and enough persons to absorb the rest were standing in line.
 Organization of the street pedlars will be the committees next definite move and plans are being made by Dennis Kelly, city sealer of weights and measures.

CHARGES AGAINST
u. S. HOSPITAL
SHIP FALL FLAT
Noted Physicians and Philan-
thropist EXonerate the
Solace
By Associated Press

Washington, June 7.-The protest
or round robin" signed by thirty
patients aboard the navy hospital
ship Solace, charging mistreatment
by the medical officers rests on
gossip and hearsay," according to
the report of the civilian commission
sent to the fleet by Secretary Daniels
TO investigate conditions in any way
it saw fit.
AFTER interviewing more than 100
men who were aboard the ship dur
ing the period covered by the COM
plaint, the commission, composed of
DR.. William II. Welch, Johns Hop
kins University, and DR.. Abraham
FleNner and Nathan Strauss, of New
York, reported that:
1.-The general testimony is to the
effect that they received what they
There was, in our judgment, no lack
OF kindness and intelligent care on
the part of DR.. Blackwood (com-
mandjng the Solace) and his assist
ants. They were dealing through
out the month of May with an .un-
precedented emergency. and in ham
ding it they acquitted themselves
admirably"
... Entitled to Praise
The report asserted that the medi-
cal personnel in charge of the fleets
naval hospitals ARE all entitled to
the highest praise for their devoted
and untiring efforts and for the sue
cess which they achieved under eX-
tremely difficult conditions"
In making the report public last
night Secretary Daniels issued a
statement declaring that not only
do the findings of these three IA
nous health experts clear the navy
OF shameful attack, but they
should carry a message of reassur-
apce to the parents of the nation"
He said the charges first receiving
publicity through Senator Calder,
and then given country wide circu-
lation, are shown TO have no other
base than malice and falsehood."
Charges that proper precautions
were not taken to prevent the spread
of disease, the report declares are
unanswerably denied by the fact that
there was virtually no cross infec-
ton either on the ship or at the
shore hospitals.
absolutely Untrue"
The specific charge that fever pa
tients were compelled to carry their
own baggage on boarding the ship
are dismissed as absolutely untrue"
Charges that the supply of drink
ing water was inadequate are stated
to be grossly exaggerated and the
allegation that laden dishes
from the contagious wards were not
promptly disinfected is described as
impossible and absolutely absurd"
The method of serving food is de-
clared to have been the only prac-
tical one "and entirely correct"
The author of the complaint was
the only man found who said he had
lacked for food, his neighbor in the
ward declaring the complainant had
been served regularly and abun-
dainty" Not single witness sub
stantiated the charge that blankets
from the isolation wards were heap
ed iq one pile during the day and
discrimnately distributed at night.

Tin to Manufacturers
By Associated Press

Washington, June THE Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Institute was ask
ed by the Department of Commerce
to-day to name a committee to allot
pig tin in the United States. The
British government has assured this
country that it's shippers will observe
any regulations by such a commit

An announcement to-day by the

baked beans and various ready-to-eat
foods so that the tin may be used for
cans in which perishable food can
be packed. No releases of cans to
packers of nonperishable products
will be made until it is certain that
the supply for perishables is ample.

iron abroad. The money saved, he
said, could be used to better advan-

The reduction was made possi-

tions.
..-.- Wait Final Figures
While waiting for the final figures
the War Department is already look
ing ahead and preparing for the next
step in the military program. This
will be to determine the number of
men entitled to exemption. A state
ment made by General Crowder war
rants the inference that class exemp-
tions are not looked for; that is, that
farmers, machinists or any other
class not specifically exempted in the
law itself will not be relieved of mill
tary service unless their duties are
indispensable in their particular lines
of industry,
The work of determining these ex-
emptions follows the proclamation of
the President, in which he will define
the exemptions in accordance with
the term "selective draft" This

pleted. .... ..-

men from the industrial workers will

issued his proclamation defining the
grounds for exemptions.
100000 to BE Examined
1t is estimated that about 1000, 900
men will be called to the colors for
examination as to physical qualities.
From this number the War Depart
ment plans to call 625, 900 men to be
put in training for military service
The provost marshal general ex-
poets to have the final figures of the
registration by the end of the week.
Without waiting for the formal call
to the colors, an invitation will be
extended by the War Department to
men registered for examination and
enlistment in the Regular Army.
These men will be relieved of the ne
cessity of waiting for action by the
