DO the America an PEOPLE
Want Honest Goods?

In these days of high
prices it has become GUS
tornary for many dealers
to offer their rnerchan-
disc at discounts rang
ing anywhere from 10 %
to over 500. Where
such discounts are pos
sible it must be self-evi-
dent to the American
public tn at exorbitant
profits have been made.
Coward Shoes cannot
be sold at a reduction of
700 or even 1870 and be
sold at a profit. 1t is be-
cause they are honestly
priced when first put on
sale that any later re-
duction would result in
a loss, and no business
can be expected to take
a loss in a legitimate
transaction.

Of Investigators.
RELIEF FOR THE SUBURBS
Staten Island to Receive 22
Cars Monday for Small
Lot Distribution.

Counsel for W. p, Wheeler, president
OF the Long Island Coal Company, gave
assurances yesterday to Federal authori-
ties who have been delving into the
affairs Of that company that the books
or the concern would be open for their
inspection. Thereupon Armin w. Riley,
special assistant TO the Attorney Gen
eral and head OF the Flying Squadron"
announced that no subpoena would be
issued for Mr.. Wheeler Earlier In the
investigation It was reported that the
company had refused to allow Govern
ment agents to inspect the books.
Reports that John F. Bermingham
president OF the D., l. and w. Coal Com
pany and chairman of the distributing
committee of the anthracite coal opera
tors, was connected with the Long Island
Coal Company were deniel by counsel
for Mr.. Wheeler.
In an effort TO determine the actual
and anticipated supply OF coal within
the city Mr.. Riley sent u questionable
to all dealers yesterday asking their
stock in yards, barges or on docks avail
able for immediate delivery and amounts
en- route from the mines.
The outlying boroughs seem in line to
receive the relief which came to the
other boroughs. Members Of the Staten
Island Coal Dealers Association were
cheered with the news that twenty-five
cars were due to arrive Monday, con-
signed to dealers who are TO dispose of
them in quarter and half ton lots only.
In Queens the acute situation seems to
have passed. Distributions limited TO
one ton have already been made from
shipments received in Flushing and
Richmond Hill. More are expected.
The Bureau Of Weights and Measures

THREE ENTER RACE
FOR SENATE LEADER
Mullan, Lusk and Walton
Are Contenders.

'Spscial DespGtct 30 THE New YORK HEkALn
ALBANY, Nov. 26.--The announcement
Of Senator John u. Mullan OF Rochester
that he win reenter the race for the
majority leadership of the Senate TO
succeed Senator j. Henry Walters Is
believed here to be the result OF q coif-
ference of powerful upstate Republican
leaders. headed by George W. Aldridge
Of Monroe county. for the purpose Of
smoothing out any difference that might
destroy the effectiveness of the over
whelming Republican majority in the
next Legislature. His selection. it is
said. will put Simon L. Adler. also of
Rochester. out of the running for re-
election as majority leader of the As
sembly. as the leaders OF tho two houses
could not hail from the same county.
The purpose OF the move is said TO be
to prevent serious Speakership fight
which threatened to divide the Assembly
into factions. The chief contender for
Speaker Sweets place against II. Ed
mund Machold of jefferson county, the
choice of the leaders. was Joseph A. Nc
CHIMES of Chautauqua county. who has
the solid backing of the eight western
counties of the State Their complaint
against the continued control Of the
Legislature by the so-called Syracuse
crowd" with which Machold. Speaker
Sweet and Senator J. Henry Walters
were identified was feared as one likely
to have serious results I'm the next ses-
sion. To prevent such a fight Il is
Adler's place has been offered
to Mechanics and the announcement of
his acceptance and withdrawal from the
Speal5ership race Is expected.

FISHBONE TAKEN FROM
SUTHERLAND'S SPINE
Operation on Senator Results
IN Odd Discovery.

hshbone was removed in an abscess
from the spine Of state Senator Ken
meth Sutherland at Harbor Hospital In
Cropsey avenue. Brooklyn. on wednes-
day. 1t was learned yesterday. Senator
Sutherland was injured in an automobile
accident during the political campaign
two years ago, and as q result an
abscess formed at the base of the spine
causing such pain recently that the op-
Grafton was determined upon.
The operation was successful, and
Senator Sutherlan was taken TO his
home at 1884 West First street, Coney
Island. How the fishbone got into the
abscess was something for which neither
Senator Sutherland nor the physicians
could account.

After Fuller told Of seeing Sands give
Boiling a check for either $500 or $500
he admitted that he did not know what
the money was for, but that he did know
of the $4,000 and know from Sands, he
said, that IL was TO be split four ways.
He said that Sands had offered TO sell
him the notes for $4,000 and that
Cranor had pronounced them to be good

that he would not take them

tative Kelley, that banker should tell

There was so much Of that sort OF
stuff In Washington at the time that l
paid very little attention to it," said Full
Ter. I'm fact, 1t made no particular inn
preston on me at all.
Fuller said that at one time during the
war he was connected with a company
with q Government contract for the
manufacture OF anchors. Lloyd's. he
said, gave him q clean bill and so did the
American Bureau of Shipping at first.
Later. he said, he was approached by a
man who said he represented Mr.. Sharp
Of the American Bureau of Shipping and
was told to come across" Fuller said he
refused to come across" and the con-
tract was cancelled.
In describing his efforts to investigate
the connection of Boiling with the S40,-
900. Meehan said that he went to Boiling
and examined his papers. He said ne
saw an anonymous letter to William C.
McAdoo charging that Boiling had been
involved in the acceptance of commits
sions for contracts. Boiling also showed
him the notes and papers on the deals
with Sands in connection with the pur-
chase of house. Meehan said that
Boiling told him that Sands had been
trying to blackmail him into using his
influence. as the Presidents brother-in-
law, to have the indictment dismissed
Meehan told Of the insistence Of Alfred
w. Mccain, the newspaper writer, that
there was something crooked" about
Bolling's part of the transaction. Meehan
said he thought Mccain would grab
anything of this kind that was nearly
within the law"
Meehan said that the fact that the
Department of Justice already had made
an investigation of the charges against
Boiling, and that the only two men who
made the charge were known crooks"
settled the matter in his own mind. He
said that Government investigations
often worked a great damage to innocent
persons. He agreed with Chairman
Walsh that in view Of the seriousness of
the charges, all the circumstances should
be investigated and the charges either
proved or the men against whom they
were aimed cleared of all suspicion.
Boiling and Downey probably will tes-
tify within the next few days. The
committee will resume it's hearings at
$3.50 o'clock this morning
