Washington, Jan. 1.-No word
from official sources had reached the
State department tonight regarding
the reported arrest OF members Of
the American railway mission at
Irkutsk. The departments COM
munication with Russia has been very
irregular, however, and officials would
not be surprised If the report were
true.
Although several railway units each
comprising several hundred men are
in Siberia to assist in improving con.
ditions on the Trans Siberian Railway,
Ii is thought that only a few could
have been at Irkutsk. They probably
are scattered In small detachments
along the entire route.
There havo been frequent rumors
that the railway mission was about
to withdraw and return to this coun-
try, but the State department has in
dicated that the men would be kept
at their posts and that although rec
ognition of the BolshevilSi regime is

large coal yard at One Hundred and

had been made that there was no
coal for sale

Others followed the trucks, unhooked
the rear chutes and seized the coal
that streamed into the street Police
reserves were called and succeeded IN
restoring order when n representative
Of the coal company announced that
coal would be sold in small lots after
certain hospitals had been served
Early relief from the fuel shortage
IS expected to result from an order
issued late today by William G. Nc
Adoo, director general Of railroads,
permitting the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's tunnels under the Hudson
River heretofore devoted to passen-
ger traffic, to be used by incoming
coal trains.
Reeve Schley, New York County

during the last 48 hours $4,000 tons
OF coal had been brought to the city
and that $500 carloads were now at

that is lacking is an available site.
II was explained. however, that
there would be no further delay in the
matter and TO red tape. Ford is ready
to begin building the steel ships as
soon as he can get the land. He says
he can turn out a dozen ships a day
and the payroll would be the largest
any one in any section Of the United
States has ever seen. His head man
alone receives a salary of $4,000 a
year and having already perfected all
plans down to the smallest details for
rushing the ships there will be abso-
lutely no delay.
Although these ships will be of
steel there must be millions Of feet Of
Georgia, Florida and South Carolina
lumber for use In their construction,
and this feature alone will mean that
much money will be spent in these
States for material alone.
