Washington, August 19.-An immediate embargo off the movement of coal to tide water, except upon a definite showing that the coal upon arrival at piers would be unloaded into vessels with reasonable promptness, has been agreed upon by the railroads, it was announced today by the American Railroad Association.
 In an explanatory statement, the asso- citation said Chairman Willard of the as- sociation of railway executives and Col onel D. B. Wentz, president of the na- tional coal association, met in conference yesterday with representatives Of the commission on car service of the Amerl- can Railroad Association tidewater coal carrying lines serving Hampton Roads and the north, various tidewater coal exchanges and the American WhoIesale Trade Coal Association to consider what more effective means could be adopted to reduce the accumulation of bituminous coal cars awaiting rans.shipment at tidewater.
 The conference the statement said' Unanimously reached the conclusion that such changes should be made in the regulations of the tidewater coal ex- change as would result in penalizng the holding of bituminous coal by individual members of the exchange beyond the free time permitted in established coal demurrage tariffs.
 Further than this. the meeting unanl- n,ously agreed that as the only effectiVe means of adequately controlling the situ- ation, all tidewater coal carrying lines should immediately embargo the move ment of tidewater coal and simultaneous ly provide for the. acceptance of such traffic only upon permits to be issued by the tidewater bituminous coal terminal railroads.
 "It was recognized that the issue Of the permits must depend in the first instance upon transportation conditions upon the railroads concerned, but beyond this it vas unanimously agreed that no permits should be granted, except upon definite showing that the coal upon arrival at the pier at tdewater would be unloaded into vessels with reasonable promptness.
 "The meeting also agreed that the issue of permits should be to the loading line, with the provisions made that if the amount to be loaded was exceeded the mine so violating the permit should be penalized in it's car supply so long as the coal so billed without permit remained unconsgned elsewhere and undisposed of

Mari0s, c., August rs.-Reaffirrning his faith "a party sponsorship in govern ment," Senator Harding said his deno- cratic opponent was entirely correct in supposng that if elected President, "he would permit the Senate to have some say in determining the policy of the gov ernment."
 "The Senate saved America nationally in 1919 and 192o' said the republican nominee, when the executive proposed to surrender 1t. If a republican~administra tion is chosen next November, you can be very certain that the Senate will have something to say about the foreign rela- tions. as the constitution contemplates I had rather have the counsel of the Sen ate than of all the political bosses in any party.

 "A new insect pest of special inpro- tance to truck growers and to those nav ing home gardens has appeared recently in Jefferson county, where 1t mas been destroying all varieties of table beans through an acre reaching beyond the city limits. This pest is known as the

 Apparently this pest has been intro duced into the Birmingham secticn

Growers of beans should watch their plants close ly, and if they find some insect is de- vouring the foliage skeletonizing the under surface of leaves especially speci- mems should be sent to the experiment. station at Auburn in strong mailing tubes for Identification. Insects should be killed by dipping in kerosene or not water before mailing to avoid any pos sibility of their escaping in transit.
 "The full-grown ladybird is, hemis- pherical and of brownish yellow color about ne-fourth of an inch in diameter
 It has eight black spots on each wing cover Eggs are laid In clusters on the under side of the leaves, and the young insects feed in colonies during their early life. Later on they scatter and feed sep arately. They usually eat only halfway through the leaves, leaving the upper surface practically intact, thus protect ing themselves in large degree against applications of poison. The fuli-grown bugs are nearly one-half an inch lonS,I of light yellow color. They are vora- cious feeders and may destroy the crop within a few days after the first work becomes evident
