Ifoly's Coal Supply viii
last ThrOugh NOUenaber

ROME, Oct. 17.-1taly will not feel
any effects from the British coal strike
before the end of November, as the
government, in view of the possibility
of the strike, has accumulated reserves
which approximate 100000 TONS The
fuel board has announced it is pre-
pared to supply American and British
coal to ocean-going steamers; German
coal suitable for steamers, manufac-
turers and gas makers, and Belgian
anthracite and coke from Westphalia
and Upper Silesia for metallurgic
plants.
Importation of British coal gradually
las been decreasing, being less than
10000 tons in September. Strenuous
efforts are being made to increase
importation Of American and German
coal and the first steamer loaded with
1900 tons of the German product ar
rived at Naples yesterday. 1t will be
followed by other vessels, and all avail
able rolling stock has been dispatch ed
to Germany and Austria to bring coal
assigned to Italy by the treaties of
Versailles and ST. Germain, which in
the past has not been sent to this
country owing to the lack of transport
This country is seriously concerned
over the prospect of a future increase
in the price of British coal, which is
considered inevitable after the strike
England undoubtedly will continue the
policy, adopted since the end of the
war, to charge any augmentation in
price against foreign customers.

visitors to the Democratic National
Convention "are being thoroughly in

ment from the office of United States
Attorney Frank Silva here to-day.
The Federal grand jury is investi-
eating liquor selling conspiracies, but
no information could be obtained as to
whether the alleged withdrawal of the
bonded goods for the Democrats was
before the inquisitors.
SACRAMENTO, Calf, Oct. 1s.-Act-
ing Mayor Ralph McLeran of San
Francisco in Sacramento to-day denied
he had ever said "Attorney General

Leran said, but would be answered at
once when it came.
Il never said to any person that
Palmer had knowledge of release and
use of liquor during the Democratic
convention. l never met Palmer and
have no means of knowing whether he
was aware Of any liquor transaction.
"The matter was one of general
knowledge among the delegates and the
Attorney General was in San Francisco

monopolies" we're bound to be regu-
lated, he said.
Governor Cox said that he believed
the legal provisions for the extension
of foreign trade by combination were
necessary and desirable" AS to do
mestc business, he said that the laws
ought to be clarified so that they could
be understood readily by business men
Most business men desired to keep with
in the law, he said, and their trans
gressons under muddled code were
likely to be mostly technical. He ia
vored associations Of farmers, he said.
In reply to the eighth question: con
cerning the most advantageous mani
ner in which business men can CO.
operate with the government, Senator
Harding said:
"Business men can render the trst
service to the government by being in
tercsted participants in politics.. be-
cause politics is the fundamental bust
ness of the government. That Is the
underlying foundation on which we
build. 1t is not the muddy pool or the
disgraceful thing that men often pro
claim it, Our politics is the stockhold-
ers' meeting of this great Incorporated
Republic. Business men, because OF
their larger sponsorship, their natural
leadership, their influence IN the com,
munities in which they reside. should
be all the more readily interested and
conscientious in political endeavor."
Governor Cox, after urging business
men to support the Federal Reserve
system, said:
"The highest service that business
men can perform for the government,
it appears to me, is to align themselves
with the progressive tendencies in our
commercial, economic, industrial and
national life and promote whatever
measures are truly in sympathy with
these tendencies. In order to do this
faithfully, it will be apparent that
they cannot align themselves with any
measures that are unfair to any part of
the people, for government cannot be
fair to any part of the people without,
in the long run, being unfair to all"

Inquiry Already Under Way
as to Forty Barrels of
Liquor Taken From Bond

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S-Attorney
General Palmer to-day directed the
United States District Attorney at San
Francisco "to make full and com
plete investigation" of reports that
forty barrels of whisky and gin had
been withdrawn from bond at San
delegates to the Democratic National
Convention.
At tho same time Mr.. Palmer in a
telegram to Acting Mayor McLcran of
San Francisco called upon that official
either to produce proof or publicly re-
tract a statement attributed to him
that Mr.. Palmer knew all about the
whisky transaction at the time.
Mr.. Palmer's message to the Acting
Mayor was predicated upon special dis
patches from San Francisco appearing
in newspapers in Washington and
other cities yesterday morning. These
dispatches said facts as to the with
drawal Of the whisky had been dis
closed by grand jury investigation.
Mr.. Palmers telegram to Mayor Nc
Leran said:
"My attention has just been called
to dispatch from San Francisco pub
lished in Sundays papers that forty
barrels of whisky and gin withdrawn
from bond on order Of DR.. William c.
Hefner, city health officer, ostensibly
for use in San Francisco Municipal
Hospital, but actually for entertain
ment of delegates to Democratic Ma
tional Convention, according to facts
revealed by grand jury investiga ton"
The dispatch further states as follows:
"'Acting Mayor Ralph McLeran de-
clared that Attorney General Palmer,
who was attending the convention as
a delegate, knew all about the trans
action
of you have been correctly quoted
l call upon you either to produce the
proof of your statement or publicly
retract it. / know nothing about any
liquor being withdrawn in San Fran
cisco for any purpose. If MY name
was used by any persons withdrawing
liquor it was entirely without my
knowledge or authority. If you have
any facts or information upon, which
a statement was based you should fur
nsh them Immediately to the United
States attorney whom | have directed
to make full and complete investiga-
ton of the matter"

Harding Picture Causes
School R0iv in Missouri

MACON, Mo-, Oct. 18.-The
hanging of a picture of Senator
Harding on the wall of the Col
lege Mount School, near here, by
Miss Jennie Hunt, teacher of the
school, has caused a rumpus which
resulted in the filing of charges
to-day against Miss Hunt. 1t is
alleged that Miss Hunt inflicted
corporal punishment upon six of
her pupils after the Harding pic
ture had been torn down in her
absence, and a number of her
pupils had appeared in school
wearing Cox buttons.
Miss Hunts preliminary hear
ing was set for Friday. She is
eighteen years old. The oldest of
the pupils she is alleged to have
punished is sixteen.
