United States frel administrator The
ooal men met with the newly created
Industrial board, OF which George n.
Peck Is chairman
The purpose OF the meeting. u was
explained WAS TO put into effect within
the coal industry the broad principles
providing reimbursement which had
been advanced by Secretary Redfieid
and approved by President Wilson.
WHAT OPERATORS CHARGE.
The coal operators explained to the
Toard that approximately thirty per
cent OF the total production of btu
minous coal is consumed by the rail
roads OF the United States and will he
purchased by the United States rail-
road administration. They charge:
F'irstr-ft developed at the meeting
that in spite Of DireetorC eneral Hines
publicly announced policy in the pnr-
chase of railroad fuel, the United
States railroad administrator had
adopted unfair practices, which would
drive the price of railroad fuel below
the cost Of production.
Second-This would necessitate ad
yancinr the price OF coal Tor the gem
eral consuming public to a point SUI
ficient To absorb the loss involved In
the production OF coarfor railroad use.
Third--It was. therefore, apparent
that unless tire railroad administration
would lend It's co cooperation and bind
itself 10 &ccept the findings OF the
conference. no beneficial results for
the general puplic could he obtained.
Fourth--Su h assurance of cooper
etion ~ the Part OF the railroad ad-
IN in .strat!ou was not forthcoming.
The operators made clear to the
t,oard their readiness to resume the
consideration OF the question OF prices
whenever the cooperation and sup
port OF the railroad administration
and other government agencies buy
ing coal, had been secured. they de-
clare.
The conference adjourned sine die.
The assurances asked for have not AZ
vet been given. The matter tonight
stands lust as il was when the coal
operators refused 10 go on with the
hearings Tuesday. until they were as
sured that the findings would tie
binding upon the railroad administra-
ficn.

BANK COMPLAINSOF
DISCRIMINATION

Charging that the discrimination Of
John Shelton Williams against the
Riggs National Bank was "a most
malicious, consistent, persistent per-
secution ever attempted against any
national bank" Frank ]. Hogan, a
Washington attorney. told the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee yes
terday that the Comptroller of the
Currency was regarded by American
bankers as "the wild cat OF the
Treasury"
Mr.. Hogan, who Is legal adviser Of
Riggs Bank. appeared before the SEN
ate committee at a public hearing in
protest against the confirmation Of
Mr.. Williams nomination not at the
initiative of the bank, but at the re-
quest of members OF the committee.
The first thing that Carter Glass,
Secretary of the Treasury, did upon
assuming office, Mr.. Hogan said, was
TO grant to the Riggs Bank full equal
rights with other District institutions
denied II by Williams.

SNAKE IN OHIO AS
BIG'AS PHONE POLE

wAvERLY, Ohio. July 1o.-Some,
where in the neighborhood of the
aqueduct and the ruins Of Emnitt's
Mills and the old distilIery building is
a snake which is every inch Of twenty
feet long and as big in diameter as
well, say a telephone pole.
Two years ago this snake was seen
by Gus Reed; last year another party
saw it and a few days ago Mr.. Reed
saw it cross the road. leaving in the
dust its track, which measured ten
inches across.
A woman who had been a snake
charmer at street fairs came to Wav-
erly with several big snakes several
years ago.
Several OF the snakes escaped and
were never found, so IL is conceded
that one Of these snakes is still max
ing its home in the ruins OF the old
distillery.

PRESIDENT SURE
OF RATIFICATION

The Senate will ratify the peace
treaty. in the opinion OF President
Wilson. He made this very plain to-
day in his talk with the newspaper
correspondents, the first that he has
had since the United States entered
the war.
The President also made 1t plain
that with the ratification of the treaty
by the German National Assembly at
Weimar, the blockade OF Germany au-
tomatically came to an end. From
now on Germany will be allowed TO
trade freely under the system or
credits that has been adopted by the
supreme economic council.
The President was in an unusually
happy frame OF mind. and seemed su-
premely confident that the work OF
the Paris peace conference will be
fully satisfactory to the people OF the
United States. While it is not per-
mitted to quote what he said, there was
no doubt of the impression that he
left with the correspondents to whom
he talked freely frankly He declined
to answer a number of purely hypo-
thetical questions dealing with what
might happen when the league Of ma
tions actually Is organized. How
ever, he insisted that the Senate would
ratify the treaty, and ii was very
plain that he expects the ratification
to include the original document
which he presented to the Senate later
in the day and without the inclusion
of any reservations.
In the opinion of the President, it
was plain that he considers the task
of the United States practically COM
plete. So far as the problem Of res
ervations was concerned, the Presi-
dent left the impression that he con-
sidered inasmuch as the treaty had
been completed, the taking of such
even though they
seemed unimportant in themselves to
the United States, would have the eff
feet of keeping the state OF war in
effect until they could be examined
and accepted by all Of the nations
parties to the treaty. including Ger
many. This would prevent the United
States resuming its foreign trade
along certain lines.
