 Captain von Papen at the time was
 secretly examined by the national as- sembly commission. which also heard
 Count von Bernstorff, the former German ambassador to the United States. His
 evidence is only now made public.
 Won Papen declared he was of the same opinion politically as Won Bern

|BTUM|NOUS COAL l SUBJECT OF LETTER | ID COMMISSIONERS
By Associated Press

Washington, May 23.--Cost of produc- ton and prices of bituminous coal were the subjects of report by the federal ten by J. D. A. Morrcw. vice president of the National Coal Association, to Sem ator Walsh of Massachusetts, both made public tonight. The former compared factors entering in coal cost last Feb ruary with the average. for 1918, while the latter denied Senator Walshs contention as made in a recent Senate speech that the bituminous coal industry made large profits during the war.
 The commission report showed labor costs increased 29 cents. cost of supplies advanced ? cents and general expenses s cents per ton between 1918 and last Feb ruary. Sales realization, however in creased only cents or from s2.65 to s2.74 per ton between the two periods.
 '.The margin per ton. the report shows, was Gl cents per ton in 1918 and 3l cents in February. The report explains that realization and the f. O. b. mine cost and includes selling expenditures. income and excess profits taxes and other items.
 His denial of charges of exorbitant pr ofits during the war, Mir Morrow in his letter aserts that average price for bituminous during all of 1917 was $e2s a ton.
 During 1918, when prices were under government control, the letter added, the average price was "only s2.sl a ton out of which 30 cents ton was paid in fed Feral taxes" Duringfthat year ss7 out of 1851 operators reported losses and the average of net Income for those making profits was less than Il per cent, MT Morrow wrote.
 Following government withdrawal, prices under competition in open markets sank to less than the fuel administra- ton maximum limits according to the letter which added that additional in- creases in cost of material and greater lost time advanced mining costs.

CARRANzA KILLED
 BY TRAITORS WHILE
 HE WAS SLEEPING
Full Report of the Assassi- nation Has Been Received By General Obregon
 in Mexico City
By Associated rrss,


 Mexico City, May 23.--A dispatch received from Juan Barragan, chief of staff of President Car Y ranza, says Cnrranza met his death at the hands of Gen. Ro- doifo Herrero's forces at Tiaxca- lantOngo. The dispatch did not give the exact date.
 The dispatch follows
 Villa Juarez. State of Puebla,
 May 22. gro Gen Alvaro Obregon:
 'Referring to your telegram of this date: Herrero joined the column at Paula, protesting loyalty. Arriving at TlaXcalantongo Herrero offered hos pitality to Carranza, placing sentinels who knew the terrain. At i o'clock in the morning his men, abusing the confidence imposed on them, sur rounded the shelter where Carranza was sleeping, firing their rifles furi- ously. Everyone offered resistance, although with the natural demoraliza tlon caused by the unexpected attack. Gen. Francisco Murguia fought valiantly in the mi-darkness, re- pulsing the traitors, who, however, prized the defenders when they were leaving their shelters to attack the enemy.
 The unexpectedness of the attack enables us to clear our military honor. 1n6 QclSuS6 was SGAcIdl lo SuCh CN- tent that the attackers were forced to take sixty prisoners, among tbem Mario Mendez, Pauline Fontes, Gil Garias, General Perez, Col. Che Gomez, General Villela and Carranza's mili- tary aide.
 "Mendez formerly was director Of the national telegraph lines, Fontes was former director of national rail- ways and Senor Garias was Carranza's s private secretary
 Our conscience is clear. Our. grief for the death of the President Is in consolab1e. We are satisfied that we did not abandon him for one moment. "The few men wounded and dead is explained by. the fact that attackers planned their crime. knowing the place where the President who had placed his confidence in Herrero, was sleeping. The loyalty and courage of the Presidents followers were useless against the treason of those crim- inals."
 The message was signed by Barra- gan and Marciano Gonzales, Frederfco Montes. Francisco de Maria and others. The flags on the American embassy and all the other embassies and lega- tons were placed at half mast when the news of the assassination of Car ranza arrived.
