1t was expected that yesterday there
would be some Improvement IN the
coal situation so far as Augusta was
concerned, as some of the Augusta
dealers have some coal in Portland
and the arrival of several carloads
was Anticipated. This. with cargo of
coal in Lehigh Valley barge, which
was reported yesterday as having left
New York in tow of a powerful tug,
bound for Portland and which should
reach its destination by today or Fri
day, would have eased up on the sit
uation to Il considerable degree, but
the coal 1T Portland, which was eX
pected 10 arrive yesterday morning or
in the afternoon did not, hence the
shortage in the city last night contin-
ued Of serious nature. The reason
given for ,he non arrival of the Port
land coal was that there had been
tieup in the Portland yard by mishaps
TO trains, some of the cars of which
were said to have left the irons, block
ing the tracks on which the coal cars
Were standing and putting the inlme-
diate movement of those cars out OF
the question. One of the dealers said
Yesterday afternoon that according to
the present outlook it was doubtful II
any coal cached Augusta for several
days.

UNIQUE CHARACTER !. PASSES IN DEATH
 OF DR. J.F. WALKER
In 40 Years of Practice He Never Collected Fee From Widow or Refused to
 Answer Call

Anniston, July 10.-(Special) l)-Dr. James F. Walker, aged n, for 10 years 4 leader among the medical profession in Calhoun county, is dead. The end came at 8:20 Wednesday morning, and in the passing of Dr Walker unique character is removed from the local community
 Honest almost to fault, blunt, faithful and entirely straightforward, pr. Walker was in every sense of the word great man. He came to Cal houn county from his home in Perry county a few years after the Civil war and settled at Viewers station. Alter practicing there for 10 years he moved to Anniston in 1888, and at once took a prominent place i nthe business, so- cial and political life of the then grow ing city.
 Dr. Walker enjoyed distinction sell dom won by any professional man. Dur ing his 40 years of public practice he never once sent bill or attempted to collect a feet from a widow, nor failed, day or night, to respond to call He was the kind of man once throughly known and understood who held ms friends and acquaintances bound to himself with hooks of steel, and in his passing Thursday morning widespread sorrow is felt in every section of the city and county.
 pr. Walker retired from active prac- tice few years ago on account of his advanced age, and has remained in practical retirement at his home at 9z1 Leighton avenue since that time.
 pr. Walker had lived an eventful life Tn early boyhood he enlisted in the Confederate army, and served with dis tinction as a courier on the staff of Gen Nathan B. Forrest. He was only 15

ideas in the rigid control of shipments. Its representation that priorities certiti- cates in most cases are not needed and will not be issued is significant. Blanket authority given by the steel director to the mills to ship small lots to consumers in nonwar lines, scarcely means that more tonnage for the open market is in sight, but it does denote the increasing freedom of action being given the pro ducerS.
 Steel ingot production has continued to average close to 35,00O,000 tons monthly, according to the statistics for June, com piled by the American Iron and Steel institute. This is approaching the indus try's best record in 1916. The first six nicnths of the present year, however. shows a slump of about 2,00o,0O0 tons below the preceding six months, due to the heavy losses sustained during the period of freight congestion in January and February. Steel corporation opera ton of g per cent in pig iron and of 95 per cent in steel ingots, represent ing the practical maximum activity, is in- dicative of the general high level of present production.

Cleveland. O., July o-(special.)-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Chief responsibility of the equitable and efficient satisfaction of war demands in iron and steel has been put by the government upon the producers them selves This is the controlling policy to be drawn in the complete and lucid in- structions to buyers and sellers issued jointly by the priorities commission and steel director. The much misunderstood form and principles of the government plan of priority and preferential distri- button has been made plain by the an- nourcement. As a result much Of the misapprehension and confusion retarding the quick movement of materials has been removed.
 Shipments in various directions have been materially expedited. There is a strong suggestion that the government, in the interest of more practical results.
 has seen fit to modify some of its eariie
