TESTIMONY DIFFERS
ON COAL SITUATION
Enough Fuel, Peabody Tells Sen
ators-Hines Refers to Operators

Director General Hines of the rail-
roads and F. s Peabody. formerly of
the fuel administration. differed sharp
" in their testimony, given before
the Senate subcommittee investigat-
ing the coal situation yesterday.
Director General Hines declared the
coal operators would lay stress on
TRANSFORMATION difficulties to explain
the increased coal prices. although IN
his opinion the railroads would De
able to move all the coal necessary.
Mr.. Peabody denied that unduly hlgh
prices were being charged for coal,
and said legislation calculated to al
ter the laws of supply and demand
would not remedy the coal problem.
He added there was no probability or
a coal shortage this winter unless de-
liyeries were held up by a shortage
of cars by labor troubles
The mines of America can supply 40
per cent more coal than the possible
demands of the country, Mr. Pea
body asserted. and the labor supply IS
adeauate He declared the cutting
down of the railroad storage to
8. COO. 900 tons was reducing the roads
to a sixteen-day fuel supply. which
might result in confiscatlon OF coai
supplies by the railroads.
the director general suggested that
the government retain enough OIL us
LAR power to enable it to control
Ss1i prices until normal conditions
w.re restored completely. The trans
psstation difficulties will be kept be-
fsee the public exploited and per-
haps expanded" Mr.. Hines said, "in

high a point as the public will stand

Acting superintendent of the Bureau of Education Dyfed Evans reports that the quarantine against the influ- enza was observed with the greatest rigidity by the teacher J, P. Jones and
 the natives of the Shsmareff village.
 During the quarantine period the nat situation created by the epidemic at
 Wales, refused to hunt foxes owing to a fear that the animals might have
 been feeding on the unburied dead at the cape village and would bear the contag zion in their bodies. X Polar bear which was killed by the Shis- mareff natives on the ice short dis
 tance from the village, was also left untouched owing to the fear that it too might have been feeding on the re- mains of the dead at Wales All trav- el was stopped with the outside world as far as possible for a time and no one was allowed to enter the village from the infected area. Nick Christianson of York is said to have attempted to reach Shismareff some time after the influenza has abated in the Wales sec tion but was stopped by native with a gun a short distance from Shismar- eff Christianson at first paid no at tention to the order of the native to halt and was proceeding onward when a shot from the Eskimo caused him to stop in a hurry. The native had fired the first shot as warning but when the York musher brought his team to standstill, he found the Eskimo had T bead drawn on him and was prepared to send q bullet into his back if he per- sisted in disregarding the warning to stop. Nick stopped and retraced his steps after this demonstration that the Shismareff village was really quaran- tined He said on his return to Wales that$ie was convinced that the Eskimo would have shot him dead if he had not haltel.. Mir. Evans says that it was probably due to the strict quaran- tine maintained by the Shismareff vil- lagers that the epidemic did not in- volve that settlement
