had called attention to the fact that
Miss Taylor did not send flowers to
the funeral although Alice had sent
flowers for the casket Of the mother
of Miss Taylor a few months previ-
ously She said Johnson had re-
marked that he did not care to have
Alice go around much with her
friend.
She admitted that she did say that
she had given Mildred some of Alice

Just as Mrs, Knight was about to
leave the stand, Mr.. Smith asked her

No replied Mrs. Knight.
Private Detective Courtney was

had used various names at various
times, stating that It was nothing un-
usual for detectives to do, in order
to more successfully accomplish their
objects

Mitchell and Gentry were called to re-
but Courtney's statements in direct
examination. but nothing important

the defense, to state that he knew

my duty to have made every effort to

Mr.. Gin admitted that he wrote
the letter. but explained that his refer

treasury for the conduct of the war
In rather an argumentative, per-
suasive tone, he explained that It was
clear to all that more revenue must
be had now or later. And inasmuch
as business must pay this levy out OF
its profits from the income of 1918, II
was wisdom, he said. to let business
know now how much burden It
must stand.
Taxes. too. he said would decrease
dangers from imitation. The first
break in his even tones came when he
said I'VE shall naturally turn. there

Kenyon, Of Iowa, and johnson, of
California. started handciapping. In
an instant it spread over the whole
floor. The president stopped but
briefly. Again he urged the business
wisdom of framing the tax at once.
and concluded:
Il cannot assure the country of a
successful administration OF the treas
ury in 1918 IL the question of further
taxation is to be left undecided until
1919"
The business argument past, the
president turned to the war
The considerations which domin-
ates every other now, and makes
every other seem trivial and negii-
gible. is the winning of the war, ne
said. A wave OF applause. the hrst
spontaneous demonstration OF the SEES
sion. and he smiled.
A sentence later. he predicted the
day when the kaiser shall be brought
to a reckoning with mankind. The
now and the floor and the galleries
cried their approval. That had
scarcely subsidized when the president
said:
The (congressionaD elections VIII
go to those who think least of it, and
again there was handclapping Once
more-and loudest Of all came the
demonstration at the statement: The
profiteering that cannot be got at by
restraints of conscience and love of
country can be got at by taxation"
For lobbyists who come to Wash
ington to urge tax exemption or the
interests who employ them, the presi-
dent promised the light of publicity.
Seeming TO address such interests
rather than the house he warned that
the treasury department has full
figures of profits on which II proposes
to act.
Congress need not fear TO impose
necessary taxes. he said. for the peo-
pie of this country are not only united
in the resolute purpose to win this
war. but are ready and willing to
bear any burden and undergo any
sacrifice that it may be necessary for
them to bear in order to win it.
Shall We" he concluded. grow
weary when they bid us act?
Hes!tating a moment, the president
said that just before he had left the
White House he had been informed
that the great German drive had
started.
The session sat quietly silent and al
most before the members realized It
the president was bowling his fare
well.

Notice of Next Seasons Prospects

PRODUCTION WILL FALL SHORT.
Says That situation DOES Not De-
nand Any Week of

Normal

Washington. May 27.--Dr. Harry A
Garfield, the fuel administrator an
nounced officially tonight that there
was bound 70 be a bituminous coal
shortabe during the year, He was
optimistic over the anthracite situa-
tion, saying all the domestic needs
will be met.
The fuel administration" he says
IN an official statement. does not
make any concealment of the pros
pegt that there will be a coal short
age during the year. The require
uents for the year for bituminous
coal as ascertaincd ny the administra-
tian experts indicate that the produC-
ton will likely fall considerably short
OF the necessary amount The fuel
administration is directing its efforts
toward removing as far as possible
the deliveries Of coal for domestic
purposes and essential war industries
from the freight congestions on the
railroads that are sure TO come with
the winter season"
Bitummous coal production for the
week ending Nays is estimated at
HAP, 600 tons, a drop of nearly
100. 900 tons from the previous week.
The banner week produced ll.S25 GOO
tons
Even If this rate OF production
should he maintained" says DR. Car
field, the total output would fall
short OF the estimated requireme
for the year
DR. GARFIELD gives no other figures,
but even this rate throughout the
gear would produce only $4,000, 300
tons, far from the $4,000 900 tons
ihat it has been roughly ESTIMATED
by fuel officials that is needed
The anthracite situation has an OPP
timistic look. according TO DR.. Gar
field. The estimated requirements are
~ 900, 900 tons. To reach this ag
greEate, an increased production of
approximately 100000 tons will be
necessary The production for 1917
was Ss.720,802 tons. but of this H.
133,305 was shipped away from the
mines. the balance being required for
