REJECT COAL BIDS
FOR 1000, 900 TONS

The United States Shipping Board
yesterday announced IL had rejected
bids on bunker coal submitted De-
cember 10 and would call again for
bids on 100000 tons necessary for
bunkering the governments mer-
chant marine on January II. The
government believes IL will get the
advantage OF another sharp break in
coal prices in the period interven-
ing between the last call for bids
and the date fixed three weeks
Lerce.
In connection with the boards
decision the fact came to light that
bids had been sui mitted early this
month by fifty-two dealers offering
the government several times the
amount of coal required at $3.50 to
$3.50 per ton. Only four months
ago, Admiral Benson, chairman of
the board disclosed in his address
before the Municipal Club of Brook
lyn last night similar bids were
asked and the price quoted was at
$3.50 per ton. This unprecedented
drop of $40 per ton within a four
month period together with the
daylight" being thrown on the coal
situation by Senatorial investigation
here is given as the cause for can
collation. of the bids received two
weeks ago by the board.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Dec. "a
Two brothers named See. alleged
draft evaders, were taken from
Moorefield to Martinsburg. w. Va.
last night for safekeeping, follow
ing arrest for shooting Deputy
Sheriff Thomas B. Cunningham.
who with Deputy Sheriffs Matthias
and Wise and several special depu-
ties. arrested them in the Mat

shooting was done by Ben See, 1t
Is alleged, and because of threats of
lynching it was thought best to re-
move them to jail at Martinsburg.
Cunningham is said to be in a
critical condition from a wound in
the neck. The men had been able
to dodge the draft since the be-
ginning of the war. Their hiding
places have been almost impene-
trable. The officers were after four
evaders altogether Two other
brothers named Vented had evil

skipped out when the officers ap-
preached the See home. Following
the shooting of Deputy Sheriff Cum
ningham the father of the boys ap-
peared with a double barreled shot
gun and was about to open fire
when an officer kicked him in the
stomach which caused him to drop
the gun. See was then forced at
the point of a revolver to call on
his boys to surrender.

Four-Flushing
Finds Advocate
hPsychologist

II you think you are a Geo. NJ. Co
han in your own line you will even
tually arrive as a top-notcher.
This, in brief. is the message OF
DR.. Joseph Perry Green. of st. Louis,
psychologist, author. publisher and
lecturer. who addressed members of
the City Club at their weekly forum
luncheon.
That the super thought system is
working overtime in Washington
was the belief of John Walsh, chair
man of the civics and forum COM
mittee, and Claude n. Bennett an
swered DR.. Green with washington
Is full of four-hushers."
"On every hand" said Bennett,
you find fellows who pretend to be
world -beaters, who have a long line
Of glittering talk. who apparently
think they are brilliant geniuses,
but haven't the brains to back up
their pretensions. When the show
down comes they are unmasked as
frauds and four-fiushers."
To which DR.. Green responded
that the trouble is that most of the
people who kick about ur-fiushing
are jealous because they don't know
how to do 1t. Should a man be
looked down on merely because he
has an attractive personality? Ev-
cry day you hear business men
talking about the success of so-and-
so, who has a good line of talk and
magnetic manner. Personality
pays. as many a man with plenty
Of brains but no magnetism has
found to his sorrow"

TELLS HOW OCEAN

IN DAWN OF TIME
Scientist Describes The
ory of Valleys in Rockies,
At Cosmos Club.

. A new view of what caused the
fractures that form the Great Basin
and the plateaus of the Rocky
Mountains was presented by Prof.
Bailey Willis Of Leland Stanford
University at the meeting of the
Geological Society of Washington
at the Cosmos Club last night.
Methods Of locating minerals in
the Coast region will be changed
by this new theory of the formation
OF. the fractures. biologists predict.
and Prof. Willis gave illustrations
>of how lost ore veins had been To-
Gated by using the new information.
1t is estimated that large sums of
money now spent in prospecting will
be saved.
Hitherto all studies have tended
to show that Pacific Coast fractures
were due to the doming of the
earth's crust, then cracking of the
crust. This caused the great blocks
of crust to rise or fall when the
internal. pressure that caused the
doming was released. This caused
what are known as normal faults.
The studies OF Prof. willis, who was
formerly on the staff of the Geolog-
ical Survey here in Washington,
have shown that these are thrust
faults.
Great pressure from the Pacific
Ocean showed great blocks of the
crust eastward under the land area,
causing the fractures" explained
Prof. Willis This sliding Of one
mass Of strata over another is very
similar to the way the Appalachian
region herein the East was formed.

The main difference, he said. is
that in the West the blocks were

East the ocean pressure pushed the
