Washington, Jan. 17.-While the senate debate was at it's height the senate commerce subcommittee in vestigating the coal shortage headed by Senator Reed, was called together informally to consider calling Dr. Gar field before it for examination this afternoon.
 Senator Reed said he would ask the senate to postpone action on the Hitchcock resolution until his con- mittee had heard Dr. Garfield. Senator Vardaman, another member of the committee asked Senator Reed to do this.
 Tt is unfair to Garfield he said, ito pass this resolution without giv- ing him an opportunity to explain his reasons for the order" Dr. Garfield went before the com mittee shortly atefr 2 o'clock and told his reasons for issuing the order. The fuel and railroad situation, he said made the action imperative. ''The purposevof the order" said Dr

BILL TO REALLOT
D. c. REALTY TAXES
introduced in House by Chair
man Johnson at Request
of Commissioners.

Provision for redistribution of gen.
eral taxes and special assessments pay
able on real estate in the District of
Columbia in cases OF subdivision or
sale Of land therein, is made in a bill
introduced by Chairman Johnson of the
House District committee at the re-
quest of the District Commissioners. This
measure would amend the act making
appropriation for expenses of the Dis
trict approved July /, 1902.
The Johnson amendment proposes
that whenever subdivision of parcel
of land in the District is made during
July, August. September. October, No
vember or December .he general tax
due for prior years and for the first
half of the current fiscal year must
then be paid and all water mains and
sewer assessments and special assess
ments must be paid before the sub
division is admitted. to record in the
Office of the surveyor of the District.
The general tax for the last half of
that current fiscal year shall be pay
able the following May
Whenever the division is made during
the first six months of the year the
total tax against the original parcel of
land and all water. sewer and special
assessments shall be paid before the
subdivision is admitted to record.
Whenever the owner or persons hav-
ing control of the parcel of land are
under contract to sell a part of it which
is not a SubdiviSional lot on record in
the office of the surveyor. they just ap-
ply to the assessors in writing for a
redistribution of any assessments. In
making such redistribution of tax as
sessments frontage of the property
upon public highway. the value of diff
ferent sections and other such consid-
erations are TO be taken into account.
The bill specifically states that the
board of assistant assessors is author
lied to reassess or reditribute the gen
eral tax in accordance with the pro-
visions of law for the assessment and
equalization of value after notice to
owners of record. with the right of ap-
peal within ten days.

PRESIDENT ORDERS POOL
OF FUEL OIL SUPPLIES
Distributors Must Look Out for Pre-
ferred Consumers Regard
less Of Contracts.

Delivery of fuel oil to preferred con-
sumers regardless of existing con-
tracts if that is necessary to supply es-
sential industries has been ordered in
new distribution regulations promul-
gated by President Wilson for dealers
east of the Rocky mountains.
The reason for revising the regula-
tions was that distributors controlling
only a small supply of fuel oil were
unable to meet the requirements of all
their necessary customers, while other
distributors were able to a1lot a sur
plus to users not directly contributing
to the prosecution of the war. Virtual
pooling of the supplies was decided
upon to assure distribution according
to the original list Of priorities, which
remains unchanged.
Under the new regulations If a dis
tributer is unable to meet the require
ments of all his preferred customers
another distributor may be required by
the oil division of the fuel administra-
ton to fill this demand before supply
ing his own customers not on the pre-
ferred list.
The regulations specify that licensed
distributors are not relieved from con-
tract obligations after the orders
cease to operate.

The committee amended the bill SC

MAKES PLEA N HOUSE
FORD. C. COURT BENCH
Representative Webb Urges Bill for
Appointment of Two Addi-
tional Justices,

Declaration that suits on the civil
side of the docket in the Supreme Court
of the District cannot get hearing
within two years time, notwithstand-
ing that the justices do more work than
any other federal judges, was made on
the floor of the House Saturday by Rep
resentative Edwin Y. Webb of North
Carolina. chairman of the House judi
ciary committee.
Chairman Webb made a strong plea
for appointment of two additional as
sociate justices for the Supreme Court
of the District when objection was
made by Representative ]. Hampton
Moore of Pennsylvania to unanimous
consent for consideration of the bill
which would provide these two new
justices.

Explains Need of Legislation.

In explaining the need for this legis-
lation Representative Webb said in
part:
1T is of much Importance to the liti-
giants and public of this city that this
bill should be passed at once. A year
ago the necessity for additional judges
in the Supreme Court of this District
was so pressing that the judiciary COM
mittee by unanimous vote, recommend
ed the passage of this bill, and it pass
ed this House by unanimous consent
and went to the Senate and passed that
body m practically the same way; but
an additional judge was tackled onto
the bill, and the House judiciary COM
mittee could not agree to that; SO the
bill died in conference. During this ses-
sion the bill has passed the Senate and
has been reported back to the House
by unanimous vote of the judiciary
committee.
I'm my service here in the House
there has not been anywhere a more
congested and distressing condition of
affairs in the way of an overcrowded
docket of a court than exists in the
Supreme Court of this District Last
year this Supreme Court terminated
1854 cases: in other words, 1913 cases
per judge. according to the Attorney
Generals report. The average termina-
ton of cases by federal judges in
United States courts is about 1870 or
100 cases each per year"

Most intertst in the trading on the

the demand for Chevrolet Motor. which

with the buying based on the advance OF

is supposed to be the final step before
