SAID that the tugboat and barge men

declared
For several days bunkering of ships

concentration of all efforts to sunplv

cause OF constant arrivals, but the gen
eral optimism yesterday among ship
ping men was based on the fact that
practically none of those now held for
lack of fuel has been in port more than
a few days longer thar in ordinary
times.
The tugboat shortage, however. is
SUI acute, and referring to that Mr..
Parsons said:
The question of towboats is being
considered. At present the railroads
are supplying sufficient floats and tug
boats to move the coal to piers, but as
the receipts increase it may be neces-
sary to commander tugboats"

Of the Garfield fuel conservation pc
riod, if New York motor truck owners
have their way Numerous New York
business men yesterday proposed that
used to the advantage Of themselves
and the nation through carrying out
The Tribunc's suggestion that fuel be
moved from the Jersey terminals in
their own delivery trucks.
Proposals that the plan be organized
under the direct leadership of the
local Feul Administrator, Reeve Schlcy,
were temporarily held up through fail
urc of Mr. Schlcy to communicate with
the Motor Truck Club of America,
which already has made census of
motor vehicles in Manhattan for cX-
actly such emergencies as this.
Schlcy Asks for Facts
In examining the plan on Saturday
Mr.. Schley announced that while there
were obstacles in the way Of carrying
1t into execution, it appeared feasible.
He announced that he would call upon
T. ID. Pratt, executive secretary of the
motor organization. for specific facts
concerning the number Of trucks to be
had, their availability for this work
and such other details as would be re-
CURED to actually move enough coal
into the city across the North River
on ferries as would give New York's
,,,I, e{,;o~ <lD+,
surplus supply.
Frank D. Randolph, motor truck
owner, suggested that not only the
Monday holidays, but at least por-
tion Of each night be given over to coal
hauling to New York from the Jer-
sey terminals.
Coal Moving Days
81 am in favor of calling the coming
ing days" said he. "Let every man
who is thrown out of employment vol
unteer his services, not gratiutously,
but for pay, in handling this coal. The
idle trucks would be ample for the pur-
pose of bringing 10000 or more tons
to this city each day"
Meanwhile DR.. Garfield was reported
from Washington as considering the
other plan for relieving the North
River ferries, suggested by B. F. Sloat,
of the United States Stamping Com
pany. Under the Sloat plan coal would
be brought into the city on cars-here-
totorc considered practically impos-
sibc-over the Harlem bridge and
down to the New York Central viaduct
in the neghborhood Of 116th Street
and Park Avenue.
1t is pointed out that the street is
eighty feet wide at this point and that
the space under the tracks, or on either
side of them. would provide ample
space for storing unlimited quantities
of fuel pending removal by the ulti-
mate consumers.

This is true in the United States and
it is also true in other countries. Off

coming more sane as abe becomes
more sober. In 1916 convictions for
drunkenness we're the lowest recorded
for nearly 80 years. Last year these
convictions totaled 84,191 against
135,828 in 1915.
The number Of insane persons in
