According to the Washington correspondent of a
Pittsburgh newspaper William J. Bryan again can
didate for the Democratic presidential nomination
And if that party abandons the historic twohrds rule
which has governed the conventions years Bryans
ambitions will make heap of trouble for Democratic
leaders. They ought to start right now to develop an
unwriten rule against unlimited candidates. just the
country has developed unwritten rule against more
than two terms in the White house.

COAL SHORTAGE IN
WAITER PREDICTED

Also Little Hope for Reduction Ii
Prices, According to Federal Re.
serve Board.
Washington, June 1S.-A coal short
age next winter which may curtail
production of iron and steel and Sc
rlously affect other industries is fore
seen by the federal reserve board in
Its review tonight for the moth OF
May The situation already is acute
i'll some districts according to the
board, and production in many lines
Is being held down.
Production Of coal Is being cur
tailed chiefly as result Of shortage
OF cars, the reserve board reports. 1t
estimates the car supply at mines in
the east at only 80 per cent Of normal.
Labor difficulties. while complicating
the situation, are considered by the
board as only minor cause of reduced
coal production,
No reduction Of coal prices is in
sight, tho board says.
Commenting on the far reaching ef-
feet Of the car shortage and freight
congestion. the reserve board states
that reports Of its agents Indicate that
the transportation tie-up is largely the
result Of the railroad strike which
still continues over a large section Of
the country The congestion is
further acccntuatcd according to the
board by local strikes of other groups
of transportation workers.
Sporadic strikes in the manufacture
ing industries, notably textiles have
continued to indicate unrest, the board
ays. An acute shortage OF labor on
farms is reported. Wages apparently
have fallen behind the advances in
prices and cost Of living, the board
asserts.
Little hope for general reduction
in prices is held out by the board
though it suggests that changes in
prices that have taken place may
furnish the basis for Il more far
reaching alteration in the essential
price structure. Changes during May
the board says have borne witness OF
many disturbing factors whose i'm
portancc and persistence are as vet
uncertain.
Considerable interruption to bust
ness resulted during the month from
labor and railroad difficulties, the
board states. and the outlook has been
such as to cause a severe curtailment
in the volume OF stock and securi-
ties transactions. Material lcssening
in the market value Of liberty bonds
and first securities is attributed to
these causes.

washington, June IS. - Senator
Glass, Of Virginia in statement ia
the Associated Press tonight, de-
clared he still favored the nomination
OF William G.. McAdoo by the Demo-
cratic party for president, notwith-
standing Mr.. AIcAdoo's decision not to
permit his name TO be presented at
the party's national convention.
Told that some supporters of Mr..
'McAdoo were now planning to urge
his nomination, senator Glass said:
"I still favor Mr.. McAdoo's nom
ination. Even If l could measure up
to the stature Of the kind Of man whom
nate, live in section that is relied
upon to furnish the electoral votes but
not to supply the candidate"
- 5':t
Washington, June 1S.-The refusal
OF William G. McAdoo to allow his
name to be presented to tho Demo-
cratic national convention apparently
did not come as a Very great surprise
in inner administration circles. TO
other Democratic leaders in Washng-
ton. however. II seemed TO be wholly
unexpected and 10 his friends it came
as a keen disappointment.
Some party leaders said Mr. Nc
Adoo's Sclf-cimination left the situa-
ton more or less in nuX They had
rcgardcd the former secretary of the
treasury as one Of tho foremost can
didatcs for the nomination While Mr..
McAdoo had insisted from the first
that he was not 4 candidate, and that
the dclcgatcs should so to San Fran
cisco uninstructcd, it is known that
q number Of them were favorable TO
his candidacy.
In fact. the McAdoo boom had
reached such proportions that the sen
ate committee which investigated pre-
convention campaign expenditures
made repeated efforts to locate a ma
tional organiaton behind it, b. NJ.
Baruch, OF New York, and a number
of others were questioned, but they in
sisted that there was no organization
and that no funds on behalf OF Mr..

Neglect Charged to Six
In Inquiry Over Warrant

Six employees Of the Finance Depart
ment will be brought up on charges of
neglect of duty to-day before Comp
troller Charles L. Craig, the Comptrol-
Ter announced yesterday, as a result of
the warrant in which an error Of $780,
900 was made by the bureau of audit
in the Comptroller's Office. The war
rant led to a heated controversy be-
tween the Comptroller and City Cham
berlain Berolzheimer which resulted in
the Comptroller sending it to District
Attorney Swami Thursday, charging
that it had been unlawfully mutilated
by those who countersigned it. both In
the Mayors and Chamberlain's Offices.
The Comptroller refused to divulge
the name of the employees to be tried,
saying it would be unfair to the
persons involved, as they might not be
to blame.
The Comptroller declared that he did
not agree with District Attorney
Swami that no criminal prosecutions
could lie against the persons respon-
sible for the attempted erasures on the
Crimmins warrant because there was
nothing to show wrongful intent or
fraud. The Comptroller said that 1t
was a matter Of fact, pure and simple,
and that under the Penal Code an at
tempt to alter, mutilate or obliterate
city warrant was felony.
