Buy Coal Supply Now
Managing Director Of Wholesale
Association Says Shortage
May Otherwise Result

Washington, July 24.-George H.
Gushing. managing director of the
American Wholesale Coal Association,
told the house rules committee today
that the public would be to blame for
the coal famine which the country
probably would face next winter.
There is plenty of coal in the
ground he said. "and plenty of
miners to get it out. But unless the
coal users of the country buy, the
coal will not be mined"
Mr.. Cushing said coal produced be-
fore last April 1 had been buried and
that production since then had fallen
short of the yearly demand by ct
least 125,00O,OO0 tons. Part Of this
shortage can be made up, he said, if
coal orders are placed before rail-
roads are tied up with movement Of
crops. After that it will be too late,
he added.

Race For Lever Vacany
Fulmer Candidate in Orange

Orangeburg. July 25.-The race for
congress in this county is creating
great interest. Thus far there is only
one avowed candidate from this coun-
ty. the Hon. H. P. Fuimer, of Nor
way.
Several other names have been
in .e last few days. prom
inent among these being that of the
Hon. Thomas nj. Raysor.
A strong demand has gone forth
it is said. in this county for Mr.
Raysor to make the race and from
other counties in the district word
comes from prominent men urging
him to allow the use of his name.
So far Mr. Raysor has not consent
ed to make the race, but the pressure
being brought is so great that it now
seems probable that his friends viii
allow the use of his name in few
days. -
Word also comes from Richlan6
that Mr., Raysor would receive
good vote there. 1t is believed ne
would also receive good vote ir
Calhoun county. Lexington has no.
been heard from but there is ne
doubt but that he could poll a goot

of the cid First National Bank OF
Uniontowns Pa, testifying today be-
fore the senate banking. committee.
charged John Shelton Williams, CONF
troller of the currency, with unfair
management of the banks afairsaf
ter it's failure and with having a per-
sonal interest in the disposition of
ten thousand shares of coal mining
stock given by J. " Thompson, the
bank president, to secure his indebf-
edneSs.
Mr.: Jones said the stock had been
turned over to the comptroller under
an agreement by which Mr.. Thomp-
son was to be given an opportunity
to redeem it for s75o,000. He also
testified that Mr. Williams had tais
stock assigned and that comptroller's
representative went to a meeting nf
bank stockholders and controlled that
meeting for the purpose of bringing
about the sale of the coal stock.
Under an agreement alleged to have
been reached at conference of stock
holders and representatives of the

DO you intend to charge Mr.. VIII.
liams engaged in this conference for
the purpose OF obtaining that stock ?''
asked Senator Fletcher, Democrat, of
Florida.
1T is the only conclusion any rea-
sonable man can draw-that Mr.. VIII
lians wanted the stock, or was a
party to proceedings that would en-
able some of his friends to get it, -
Mr.. Jones replied.
''The charges are absolutely with :
out basis said Mr.. williams, who
followed Mr.. Jones before the COM
lnittee ri want to denounce Mr.. Jones

ing that I have any personal motives
in this matter. His statements are
full of inconsistencies"
Mr. Williams renewed his denial of
testimony given the committee by
John Poole and Frank J. Hogan who
alleged the comptroller had discrimi-
1ated against the federal National
Bank Of Washington with which they
ire associated. The comptroller also

Vocational Training Endorsed.

Recently the Board of Direct. OTIS of the Nogales Chant Der of Commerce were addressed by Prof. Butler of the University of Arizona upon the subject of vocational training, and at that time resolutions of endorsement were adopted. Copies of the re- solutions were transmitted by Secretary Rankin to the Super intendent of Schools in Nogales, Arizona, to the Board of Super visorS and to the County School Superintendent.
 Following is copy Of the re- solutions adOpted:
 RESOLUTIONS
 Whereas many children leave school at the age of fourteen who are in need of trade train ing; and Whereas many of these children enter blind alley' jobs wherein they cannot learn a trade; and this haphazard em- ployment results in much idle ness. to the moral and financial detriment of the child and of the community; and
 Whereas trained persons are greatly needed Tn industry. due partly to the disappearance of the old time apprenticeship Sys- tenn: and
 Whereas this need has been recognized by the United StateS> Government, which thru Con- gress has appropriated money to assist communities to provide vocational education in the pub lie schools;
 It Is Hereby Resolved that the Nogales Chamber of Com merce, thru it's Board of Direct orS, in regular meeting assem- bled May g, 1919, endorses vocational training in the public schools and recommends to the Board of Supervisors, Board of School Trustees and-to the Sup erintendent of Schools of Santa Cruz county:
 That practical vocational train ing be instituted in the regular day, part time, and evening school in co operation with Fed eral and State authorities who are authorized to provide for a large proportion of the cost of such education.
