FUEL FAMINE ONLY A MYTH, DECLARE COAL WHOLESALERS Say Public Panic-Stricken and Adequate Coal Sup
 ply Is Promised for
 This Winter
sy Associated Prsss

Washington. July S.-Assurance of an adequate supply of coal to meet all do- nestle requirements during the coming months was given today by George Fl. Cushing, managing director of the American Wholesale Coal Association, who declared in a statement that re- ports of an impending coal shortage were unfounded. The public. he said, is panic-suicken without reason or ex- case.
 There is no shortage of coal. MT, Gushing stated. There is no danger of any such shortage. Therefore, there is rent high prices in the open market The reason is that we have had toe much governmental agitation of the dan ger. of famine s
 MT. Cushing declared that fok tho past eight months there has not been d day or even an hour when some govern. mental agency was not agitating about coal and predicting coal famine Prices. he said, have reached the high est peacetime level- in history, because those who need coal are ''franticaiiy bid, ding against each other in every mar. ket."
 REPORTS UNFOUNDED
 Declaring he had investigated nearly every alarmist report. Mir. Cushing as serted mot one of them will stand scrutiny or analysis" He predicted tha, the consumption of bituminous coal dur ing the .sceai year" beginning last Apri . would notsexceed 5sb 900 tons lo. .2Ss.' l00O tons . week.
 i ..The present assumption. 7 MT Gushing continued, '.is that unless we reach thi, average weekly consumptions in thu early weeks of the coal year we ars rushing headlcng into shortage of coal That has not been true in twenty-fivt years. It is not true this year Ths records of the coal trade are that. witt the exception of 19i7 and 19lS-war year, We never reached a production figurs equal to the required weekly ayerag,

 ADVANCE UNLESS GERMANY ACCEPTS
Germans Have Until Noon Today to Accept or Reject FOch-WiIsOn Plan of
 Disarmament
Rx Associated Prsm

Spa,. Belgium, July 8.-The joint allied-German confer ence on the terms of the peace treaty reached another critical point today. The Germans have until noon tomorrow to say whether they will accept the Foch- Wilson plan of dis armament. The alternative is contained in the specific threat that the allies will occupy the Ruhr or other territory if Ger many cannot or does not ac- cept.
 The German cabinet. of which seven of the nine members are here held a meeting which continued from 5:l5 o'clock this afternoon until s. No decision was reached, and the council adjourned until. tomorrow morning. The prevailing view among the Germans was that the allies had carried their demands, particularly the menace of occupying further German territory, much beyond any provision of the Versailles treaty and also that the allies are taking up an aggressive position not contemplated by any clause of the treaty,
 The allied disarmament note was com municated to Berlin early in the day at Chancellor Fehrenbach's request, with the direction that 1t be submitted to the Rechstag and t- leaders of all parties whether gtiDporters of the government the opposition. Herr Fehrenbach asked for the view of the Reichstag and the party leaders, but said that the decision would rest with the csabinet now at Spa

 Without exception the old Roose- welt leaders are supporting Senator Harding and Governor Coolidge" said Mir. Brown to the newspaper corre- spondents.

REPORTERS LOCATE
 COX ON HIS FARM ROASTING POTATOES
Pasture Club" Is Organ ized, With Woman Presi- dent at Suggestion of
 Democratic Nominee

sy A,.sei...d Pas,

Dayton, O., July S-Putting aside cares of being a presidential candidate, Gov. James M. Cox, the democratic nominee for President, spent this afternoon on a farm, his boyhood home, thirty-six miles from Dayton.
 Newspaper men who trailed the gov- ernor found him with his coat off. roast ing potatoes and broiling lamb chops ossr a camp fire in small ravine some distance from the old homestead. His farm manager was with him.
 Taking the intrusion of the news writ CTS good naturedly, he invited them to share the luncheon he was preparing, but finding it would take more potatoes, chops and sandwiches than he had he sent one of his men to Middletown for more. Luncheon finally was served late in the afternoon While the potatoes were roasting and the chops cooking, the governor answered many questions of the curious news gathers concerning his early boyhood, which he had spent on the farm. He also discussed many phases of farming.
 A SIX-GALLON COW
 While sitting in the shade of a large willow tree one of his thoroughbred COWS came wandering up to have a look at the democratic candidate. The governor says she is milked three times day and gives two gallons each milking.
 At the governors suggestion the Pas ture Club was formed, having for it's members the democratic candidate, and the score of news writers and camera men, Miss Marjorie Wilson of Cleve- land, the only woman reporter in the company, was elected president after be- ing placed in nomination by the gov ernor.
 Mrs. Cox did not accompany the gov nr o, the trin which was made bV au. tomobile.
 \ Since he acquired the old Cox homestead two wears ago. Governor Cox is fast transforming it into a model farm. TO ANSWER ROBSON
 Governor Cox intimated this evening he may make an early reply to the tel egram of Richmond P. Hobson~of, Ili- snois, Anti-Saloon Leaguer, requesting that he make a definite statement soon of his position on enforcement of the federal dry amendment and congress sional action to modify the volstead act as to alcoholic content of liquors.
 It was also intimated by the gov ernor that he may go to Washington soon for a conference with President Wilson. Telephone conversations be- tween Secretary Tumulty and the gov ernor have been held during the past few days, 1t was said.
 The civic demonstration in honor of the governor will be held July 16. Interest now is turning to the ap- preaching conference of the democratic candidate with the subcommittee of the national committee and Franklin D. Roosevelt, the vice presidential can didate, which probably will be held Saturday. or as soon thereafter as the party can arrive from San Francisco. The governor will make no speaking engagements until he has conferred with the committee. Hundreds of invi- tations to make addresses have been received. Cordial messages of congrat- ulations continue to arrive by the hun- dreds.
