COX SAYS THAT
HARDING is Still
IN The SENATE

Columb bus, Ohio, July 14-Charging
that Senator Harding had made his
front porch a listening post Cover
nor Cox today issued a statement re-
plying to Senator Harding's statement
of yesterday that the Wilson admin
istration had saddled the League of
Nations upon Governor Cox as the
chief campaign issue.
The statement follows:
81 recognize the eagerness of the
gentlemen of the press who are as
signed here to develop news copy
daily. I have no disposition to dis
courage that enterprise, but at the
very outset, it is we'll that we have
this understanding of a very funda-
mental phase of the present situation.
Senator Harding has made two
definite announcements: That he
proposes to bark back to the days of
80 years ago, and that he will make
of his from porch a listening post.
This means that he will be as far
removed from the running current of
progressive thought as the senatorial
oligarchy of Lodge and Penrose and
Smoot has been removed from the
heart beats Of the American people
for a year Or more.
'My campaign will be dedicated
to the task of bringing peace with
honor, of readjusting the affairs of
civilization and of creating new
day out Of which we will make the
best of the lessons of the past.
Therefore, things that the senator be-
ieve vital and pertinent from his
isolated perspective, will not, in all
probability, be SO regarded by me.
His last statement is but a reiteration
of what has been said in the senate
time after time, so that if this cam
paign on the one hand develops into
mere morning sessions of the senate,
you will very readily perceive the
uselessness of daily response

people of Canada are paying almost
any price in order to get anthracite
coal. In my opinion there ought to
be an embargo on these shipments
for at least SO days. And bituminous
coal is being shipped to, Europe in
large quantities."
Further evidence that the coal
situation in this city is rapidly ap-
preaching an acute stage was con-
tanned in a statement made by Harry
E. Hustled, secretary and treasurer Of
the City Ice & Coal Company, which
was submitted to the Chamber Of
Commerce today.
The coal dealers statement as given
out by Mr.. Hustled follows:
Coal cannot be obtained through
the regular channels, caused by the
unsettled conditions in railroad
transportation, but it can be obtained
through what might be termed The
Open Market" at prices much higher
than regular circular.
Question-Would it be advisable to
purchase through this market, which
would cost approximately SIS more
ton at this time and thereby avert a
coal famine next winter. or let mat
terS take their course ana see IL Liz
railroad situation clears up?
Comm enting on the situation, Mr..
.Husted said that the shortage of coal
for family use and for the factories
was entirely due to transportation
and the failure of the railroads to
meet the demand for cars. Some fac
tories in the city according to Mr..
Husted are living from hand to mouth
and have only coal enough in their
bins to last them for 4S hours. The
factories trait are supplied by the City
Ice and Coal Company can be taken
care or for two weeks at least and a
possible three if the supply was cut off
entirely, said Mr.. Hustled

opinion that there will be decided

Connecticut have again taken up the

in the Button Bush swamp, on April
H. 1919, will soon be established.
The police are now endeavoring to
connect the murder with an affair
which occurred in Stamford in March,
1919, when a number of men who were
riding in an automobile shot a police
man and then ,battled their way
through the towns of Rye, N. Y, and

may have borne the body of the dead
