 LOCKS HARMONY
 IN THIRD PARTY
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO, July S.-Plans of a group of liberal and radical organizations for one united third party, with candi- dates for president and vice-president in the field, received a set back today when single tax party members an nounced they would not support Sen ator Robert M. LaFollette, who is ex- pected to be the choice of the other groups.
 The single taxers, who arrived today to prepare for their convention which opens Saturday, declared they would bolt the combine and nominate a separ-
 ate ticket if the majority chose La Toilette.
 While the single taxers were threat ening to present their own ticket, Amos
 Pinchot and George L. Record of the Committee of AS were in Madison, Wis, today conferring with LaF'oilette, who has received majority of a mail straw
 vote of the party.
 The Committee of 4S and single tax conventions open Saturday and on Sun
 day the labor party of the United | States, another prospective member of i the third party combination, meets
 here. The national Non n-Partisan
 League, triple alliance of the northwest, ] National Peoples League of Minnesota, l World War Veterans, and National l Public Ownership league have been l invited to send fraternaI delegates. J. C. RelSs single tax committeeman l from Pennsylvania, announced today | that the single taxers would accept the

 wonderful opportunity to create the ] long looked for new political party in | America" he said, but LaFoIIettism 1 will certainly be the wrong one to 1 follow"

ND COAL SHORTAGE; NONE EXPECTED, SAYS
 WHOLESALE DIRECTOR
raepubIloan A. p. leased wlrel


 WASHINGTON. July S.-Assurance of an adequate supply of coal to meet all domestic requirements during the coming months was given today by George II. Cushing, managing director of the American Wholesale Coal asso- ciation, who declared in a statement that reports of an impending coal shortage were unfounded. The public, he said, is panic stricken without req son or excuse.
 There is no shortage of coal" MT. Cushing stated. There is no danger of any such shortage Therefore. there is a reason, but no excuse. for the cur rent high prices in the open market. The reason is that we have had too much governmental agitation Of the danger of a famine"
 MT Cushing declared mat for the past eight months there has not been a day or even an hour when some gov ernmental agency was not agitating about coal and predicting a coal fam ine'' Prices, he said, have reached the highest peace time level in history because those who need coal are fran tically bidding against each other in every market"
 Declaring that he had investigated nearly every alarmist report, MT. Cush- ing asserted that mot one of them will stand scrutiny or analysis" He pre- dicted that the consumption of bitum- inous coal during the "coal year. be- ginning last April 1 would not exceed 535, 900 ,00O tons-10,2SS,000 tons a week.
 'The present assumption,~ MT. Cush- ing continued, lis that unless we reach this average weekly consumption in the early weeks of the coal year, we arc rushing headlong into a shortage of coal. That has not been true in 25 years. It is not true this year. The records of the coal trade are that with the exception of 1917 and 191S-waI years-we never reached in production a figure equal to the required weekly average production until the middle o1 August.

Elwell Pointers
 on How to Handle
 Desired Women
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

NEW YORK, July S-Search for q payroll" said to have been kept by Joseph B. Elwell today marked a new turn in the district attorneys inves- tigation into the mysterious murder of the wealthy turfman and whist expert here last month.
 Evidence that the turfman had been paying one woman $50 and another S40O a month is being investigated in the hope that more light may be shed on such disbursements.
 Assistant District Attorney Talley related today some of Elwelrs tips on how to handle women" as told him, he said, by the horseman's trainer.
 One of Elwelrs tactics according to the story detailed to TaHey. was to hold aloof from a woman he partic- uIarly admired. Then he would tell other women how much he liked her and continue apparently to avoid her.
 This invariably brought the woman he wanted to the point of seeking him, 9 Talley added

ADVANCE ROBBERY PLOT THEORY AS SHOOTING CAUSE
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO. July S.-A robbery plot in connection with the shooting of the wife of Lieut.. Carl Wanderer and a strange man in the vestibule of the Wanderer home on the night of June 21, was @ new theory advanced by po- lice tonight following their interroga- ton today of the lieutenant They de- clared they had discovered that Mrs. Wanderer had withdrawn $500 from a bank only two days previous to the shooting. The money, they added, was later found in the Wanderer home.
 Police officials said that Wanderer had told them that he had planned to re-enter the army, and, Police Sergeant John Norton added that he was working on the theory that the lieu tenant might have decided to frame up a robbery of his wife and get the money" The police official said that ''it is possible the stranger had been employed by Wanderer to commit the robbery and then in the darkened yes tibule he fired by mistake. Then after he shot Mrs. Wanderer her husband was forced to shoot him to cover up the conspiracy"
 In another statement today Wan . derer, according to the police. admitted that both guns used in the shooting were his property.
