|BLUNDERS MADE BY |DR. GARFIELD CAUSED
 SHORTAGE OF COAL
This Is Charge Made by Governor Cox of Ohio in Address to
 Farmers

South Charleston, O., January 4.-In aT address at a farmers meeting here to. day, Governor Cox of Ohio declared that the 1,0Go,oo0-ton excess of coal in tho northwest, "occasioned oy the blundel of Fuel Administrator Garfield' is re.
 sponsible in large measure for lack ot fuel in the east and for transports loaded with supplies reported tied up al ports.
 The governor severely criticized the fuel administrator, particularly in re gard to Dr. Garfield's reported state ments before a Senate Investigating committee in which Dr. Garfield was credited with remarking that '.the condi- tion in Ohio is psychological 'I see that the professor says in his testimony before Senate committee thai

 MT. McAdoo, as practical man, will attend to this. Meanwhile, I feel quite sure that the country will have no ob- jection to pr. Garfields continuing his study of psychology. That will keep him out of the coal business. and MT McAdoo in it, for which. God be praised

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRRErr

some of the happiest experiences in my life were lived in Philadelphia And some of the most peculiar and most humorous came to me there. During the days when 1 was in my pugilistic prime it happened that I freqeuntly was booked in the Quaker City for theatrical en- agreements and, naturally, spent much time in that city.
 Philadelphia doesn't rank in the rec ord books as much of boxing center, yet 20 and ? years ago it stood out as ore If the best known pugilstic centers 'n Aa4ess It produced some very good arafsssiop boxers. including Dave ea1ipheil sliiy Meeaham, Johnny Clark ana AFehl s1ef Fho made splen- did recor0s tii S u tsa was fa- nous for its CT apaEt ms. ,giio often worked out with ln tAs sehuyi-ill Boat club, then one of tife besf Su9wE amateur athletic organizat egs a Aaef- ica Bill Recap, Walter Sen. 5sf ana Horace Leeds were among the C.. crest or the amateurs in those days, anu 2 they had entered the professional ring | feel certain they could have written their names indelibly in puglisitic his tory.
 
 I met most of the Philadelphia profess sionals in boxing bouts on the stage at various theatres where I appeared Durins that era I offered S100 to any man that 1 couldn't stop within four rounds That was a lot of money for any ordi- nary fighter to achieve in those days, and, of course, 1 never wanted for op- ponents.
 It was along in 1893 or 1894 that played a three weeks engagement in the Quaker City, appearing first at the old Central theatre (now known as the Audi toriun). the Lyecum and tine Kensington fought a different man every night and got lot of practice stopping the rough ones.
 Along toward the end of my engage ment at the kensington, I hurt my hand on the head of one of the huskes who had ambitions to earn the S100 prize In the next battle I damaged the member still further, and on the final night the

condition of my hand was such that | was unable to meet Joe Godfrey who had applied for the job of battling with me.
 I disliked very much to disappoint any prospective foes and rather than turn back Godfrey without q contest I ar ranged with Jim Daly, who was my spar ring partner, to go on with Godfrey. The offer was made to Godfrey that he would get the si00 if Daily failed to stop him in four rounds.
 Godfrey was not gifted with much cleverness, but he had a powerful physique, bull-liSe strength and was az gressive. But he wasn't far beyond the dub class and l figured he would be easy for Daily. Soon after the first round opened, Daily feinted Godfrey into an unguarded position and then let him have a few waliops on the jaw This enraged Godfrey so much that instead of resorting to boxing tactics, he made rush at Daly, grabbed him around the waist and threw him heavily to the floor. Not content with this, Godfrey began to kick the prostrate Daly in the ribs and from my position in the wings off-stage I realized that Daily might be crippled by such an attack. l forgot all about my wounded hand which was in bandages, and in about
  Then he took final kick at Daly and att tempted to back out of my range I let drive right-handed punch to the point of his chin. Godfrey went backwards and toppled to the floor.
 But that blow hurt me more than 1t did Godfrey. The contact of my bat tered hand against Godfrey's paw-bone sent agonizing pains from the tips of my fingers to my shoulder blades, and in the foolish effort to lessen the pain began Jumping around the stage, waving my arm up and down and back and forth l have often thought back over that ex- perience and laughed at the funny figure I must have made hopping around on that stage waving my arm like whirl- ing Dervish.
 But that wallop to Godfrey's jaw, al- though it caused me torture, cured him forever of one trait. He never after ward attempted to kick another man who was down

The procedure in such cases would be for the road to issue bonds to finance the improvements, and these bonds would be absorbed by the govern ment revolving fund.

WATER TRANSPORTATION

Great significance was seen by con gressional leaders in the section provid ing for acquisition and operation of wa ter transportation facilities. Advocates of barge transportation on the Missis- sippi. Missouri and Ohio rivers, the Erie canal and other inland routes have con ferred with the director general within the past week and received his assurance that water transportation would be given attention as soon as he has time to take up the question.
 If Congress passes the bill with a $5oo00O,0co appropriation, this sum will have to be raised by issue of additional liberty bonds, unless it should become apparent that economies under the gov ernment pooling system are sufficient to counterbaiance special expenditures, and to meet possible deficit in this years earnings under the standard return

WAR TO MERCHANTS

 He urged all banks to practice serv- ing and savings and to urge all cus- toners to do likewise He requested merchants to carry fewer and plainel goods. He asked all citizens to tell municipal, county and state authori- ties that all improvements except those absolutely necessary should not be made until the end of the war.
 Tt is. of course. inevitable that the war activities of the government will tend to cause further rapid growth of deposits and loans in banks and in order to keep our credit structures strong it is necessary that the banks should exert their influence and lend their energies to more general ab- sorption of government loans by saw ings, to a contraction of private cred it's wherever practicable without caus- ing hardship" he continued. We must look to the future and prepare un- ceasingly for further demands which may be made upon us. The products of the fields, the forests, the mines and the manufacturing establishings of Alabama are not in the nature of lux uries. They can all, perhaps without exception, be classed as necessities, and with the outlook ahead of us there seems to be no possibility of overproduction. It seems, therefore, that the banks or Alabama, rom the standpoint of good business as well as from patriotism. should lend their funds and credits freely to those en- gagged in these productive enterprises and their power to serve the country in this way will be increased by the curtailment of unnecessary credits and by the adoption by the people gen. orally of a policy of common sense. practical economy"
 Governor Harding also urged all state banks of Alabama to become af- filiated with the federal reserve sys- tenn. thus keeping themselves within the limits imposed by state laws. but at the same time giving them the as sistance which the federal reserve banks are lending to member banks in rediscounting paper growing out of agricultural, industrial and commer- cial transactions and in many other ways.

LOYAL SERVICE MANUEL

This is a time of great stress, and the attitude of every employee should be determined by the supreme need of the hour, duty to his country first of all. cannot state too strongly the necessity for devoted and loyal service by every man in this emergency. Every railroad |employee is now in effect a government employee, and as such is in duty bound to give his best service to his country as if he wore the uniform of the United States army and occupied the trenches at the front. Every unnecessary delay in a train movement vitally affects our sol- diers and sailors and seriously impairs our ability to defend our rights and our liberties Every man whose neglect or indifference causes such delays may be responsible for the loss of the son of some noble American mother or father. It is as serious to the country for an employee to be stacker in his work as for a man to be a stacker in the army.
 MUST DO DUTY
 The present serious congestion and actual suffering for the want of coal and other supplies will be greatly improved and may be entirely remedied if every employe will do his utmost in his in dividual task. In the name of patriot ism, therefore. for the protection of our sons abroad and for the safety of the nation, I hope that every man, wher- ever placed, will do hls level best. Let us who stay at home be ashamed not to be willing to make sacrifices equally as great as those our gallant sons are at- ready making for us on the bzloody fields of France"
 MT McAdoo explained today that al- though no general provisions can be made under the law for railroad employees from the draft. he- will mt hesitate to ap- peal to local exemption boards to defer the calling of these workers if the boards of their own yolftion do not display a tendency to regard the railroads as an essential industry from which employees should not be taken for military serv- ice.

POWER TO M,ADOO

Under the last provision the President is expected to issue an order transfer ring to Director General McAdoo all functions vested in the chief executive This will enable the director general to organize a corporation fer handling rail- road securities in accordance with a plan now under consideration.
 Railroad officials are expected to urge a number of notifications of the ac- counting method prescribed by the bill for reaching the standard return basis, but officials expect the scheme, as out lined on the bill. probably will be fol- lowed in the main. Some discussion is looked for over the bills provision that new federal taxes under the war revenue act are not to be charged against the revenue in computing the standard re- turn as are ordinary taxes. The effect or this will be to require railroads to pay war taxes out of their government com penSa tiOn
