According to representatives Of a number of the large lines, the bunker situation already is serious, and any fur ther curtailment will restrict movement of steamers.
 At meeting held here today between J. w. Howe, commissioner of the Tide water Coal Exchange, Inc, and repre- sentatives of rail lines it was determined that MT. Howe, as agent for the inter state commerce commission, shall issue, permits for all shipments from the mine to the Tidewater points. New York and Baltimore. Permits also must be obtained from MT. Howe or his deputies to put coal aboard steamers.
 Under the present emergency ruling, coal for export is practically prohibited, and it has been decided, a representative of the TideWater Coal Exchange said that bunker coal for all ships foreign bound is to be considered in the same light as export coal The ruling will aps ply to American as well as foreign ships. The restrictions give right of way to movement of coal by water to New Eng land points, and what is now practically an embargo on export movement will las. only until local needs are supplied.

COLBY AND GLASS 0N HAND WITH
 WILSON'S VIEWS Palmer and Cox Expected to Bring the Democratic Convention Into a
 Deadlock
Fly HUGH w. ROBERTS


 San Francisco, June 23.- (SpeciaD The convention got on it's first legs today when Bainbridge Colby and Carter Glass reached San Francisco. They are the spokesmen of President Wilson.
 The Secretary of State declared to newspaper correspondents that he had not been instructed to work for the nomination of the President. Neverthe less, the idea prevails that if an advan- tageous moment presents itself he will tell the convention-hoping thereby to precipitate a stampede-just what an admirable man MT. Wilson is.
 Senator Glass came armed with the Presidents approved platform, a docu- ment which contains everything that is to be written unless the anti-prohi- bitionists succeed in inserting moist plank. There is no indication that William Jennings Bryan VIII De able to prevail against the Wilson pro nunciamento, and the fact is outstand- ing that up to the Present at any rate, the stricken man in the White House is as much the boss of this com vention as the stricken man in Phila- delphia was boss of the republican, powwow in Chicago.
 It is learned today that William G. McAdoo. in immolating himself, was actuated by sincere motives of which Mrs McAdoo was the creator. That any woman should voluntarily forego an opportunity to be mistress of the White House is unusual But Mrs. Mc- Adoo has been an inmate of the White House. and her life there was not happy. She saw her mother die and her fathers health destroyed. And there are other factors which combined to make her existente in Washington unattractive if not miserable. So when McAdoo suggested that instead of en- tering a grueling campaign of doubt full issue, they strive for comfortable nest-e egg against the requirements of old age, she readily aquiesced. This story, which is taken as 100 per cent value, is told in view of the fact that Alabama and Texas, en route to the convention, insist that they will make McAdoo president, whether he desires the office or not.
 The strongest man in point of pledged delegates is Mitchell Palper It is indicated that he and Govefno, Cox will deadlock the convention. and that the President and Bryan, in emergency, will strive to name the compromise candidate.
 John w. Davis of West Virginia, ambassador to the court of St. James, is given great consideration, and there is frequent mention of Champ Clark. But awaiting Friday. when all the del- egates will be assembled, every con- clusion is reached solely as result of guess, even though the guess is made after what is seemingly logical deduc- tiOn

 have very strong conviction my self of the Very great part played by the Americans of Irish birth and ancestry m the winning Of independence and the naming of our own great United Statcs. More than that, 1 have a very great sympathetic feeling for the movement to bring about the independence of Ireland and the establishment of an Irish natlon- aiity, which is the national aspiration or any hberty-loying people.

Boston, June 23.-Methods used by the federal department of justice in conduct ing the raids upon alleged alien radicals last winter were severely scored by Judge George w Anderson of the federal dis trict court today in announcing his de- ciison that seventeen persons arrested in the raids and ordered deported were en- titled to be discharged from custody. The defendants had brought their cases be- fore the court through habeas corpus pro- ceeding.
 The deportation of the defendants was ordered by the federal departrnnt of labor on the ground that they were members of the communist party. Judge Anderson in his decision said there was no evidence to show that the party advocated the overthrow of the United States govern ment by force and violence. The chie- dependence of communists. he said. was upon the pressure of economic force, using the weapon of the general strike, and their purpose was rather pacific than militaristic.
 Judge Anderson said that the evidence was explicit; that tout of the 40 persons arrested and taken to Deer Island Gin Boston harbor) warrants for 100 were not et that time outstandink.' He quoted
