NEW COAL INQUIRY
MYSTIFIES PALMER
Silent on Probe Into His Acts
in Indiana Cases.

WARRINGTON, Nov. ATTORNEY Gem
eral Palmer returned to his office here
late to-day to find awaiting him a tele-
gram from Federal Judge Anderson at
Indianapolis, informing him that an in
vestigation was TO be made OF Mr..
Palmer's connection with the soft coal
cases.
Mr.. Palmer Immediately went into
conference with G. y. Ames. former
Assistant Attorney General. who con-
Quoted the court proceedings a. Indian
apolis In the original cases at the time
OF the soft coal strike. After the con-
ference. which lasted two hours, he said
he was unable to understand what
Judge Anderson Is proposing to inves-
tisate."
The Attorney General said he had re-
viewed the entire record OF the cases in
question with Mr.. Ames, but that Il
had shed no light on the matter.
II am ut a loss TO know what Judge
Anderson is proposing TO investigate"
Mr. Palmer said. NY connection with
this case has been simply and only the
connection or the Attorney General with
any Government case"
Mr.. Palmer had not determined to-
night whether he would 60 TO Indian
apolis personally In response to Judge
Anderson's invitation. IL was Indicated,
however. that Mr.. Anes probably would
be present at the inquiry III the capacity
OF n special representative of the De-
par.mcnt of Justice, as he was said to
be familiar with all questions pertain
ing 10 the coal cases. as well as with
Mr. Planners own views.
There were indications at the de-
partment that the controversy which
precipitated recently the resignation OF
Dan w. Simms as special pro secutor In
the coal cases was being reviewed. Cor
respondence between the department
and Mr.. Sirnms and all data having a
bearing on the proceedings have been
assembled. II WAS understood the At
torney General planned to go over the
papers during the next few days.
While some officials thought II pos
sibls that further action by Judge An
dsrsou might warrant the Attorney
General I'm making public a statement
Of his position ION all phases OF the pro-
ceedlngs." the opinion was expressed
that unless the Judge himself threw adj
dtional light on the proposed inquiry
Mr. Palmer would remain silent

FAULTS OF DRIVERS.
Some Automobiles Too Quick, Some
Too Speedy, Some Too Slow.

To THE NEW YORK IIERAio: On city
streets where Il is necessary TO hold up
traffic periodically there are three kinds
OF improper driving OF automobiles
The irst OF these is the quick get
away. which many drivers delight In
when the signal Go" Is given 1t 10
not uncommon to see car so driven
advance the length Of an avenue block
before other cars within thirty feet OF
IL ara IN motion.
Such driver invariably commits the
second fault OF maintaining an unreal
sonable speed until ne has caught up
TO the rear OF the group OF cars proceed
ing him. He Is Immediately followed
by others OF the same kind. with the
result that IN the course OF three or
-four blocks the natural group spacing
OF cars which would permit safe crossing
by pedestrians has disappeared.
This fault is aided by drivers who
err IN TIE opposite direction and lag
behind the average speed. II is both
annoying and dangerous 10 be compelled
to wait for one or two OF these laggers.
who are so placed that one cannot cross
In front Of them but is forced TO use
the rapidly Diminishing space behind
them and 70 estimate the chances OF
getting safely across In front OF the
spcederr 1t is probable that this last
form OF improper driving !s more dan
gerous than elthor Of the other two.
The slow driver. who is apt to re-
gard himself as very conservative, IL
often bad driver in other respects
He nearly always ia so far out toward
the centre Of the road that those who
wish 10 pass him have TO tre5pass on
the space devoted to traffic in the oppo-
site direction. Slow drivers are not
brought into court nearly az frequently
as they should DC In view OF tho dis

The army Of General WRANaEL, the
one remaining organized anti-Bolshe-
yist military force IN Russia. has been
driven back into the Crimea. The
gains which were recently made in
southern Russia owing to the diver
sion of the Soviet forces to the Polish
front have been lost and the reports
received In western Europe from Sc
0astopol indicate that the small army
is In peril OF utter defeat by n greatly
superior Bolshevist force, which Is en-
deavoring TO fight It's way across the
Perskop isthmus connecting the Cri-
mean peninsula with the mainland
That the Soviet troops ON the Polish
front would be- turned against General
WaASoII.'s army as soon as peace was
arranged with Poland was expected.
TnorzKY had declared this to be his
Intention IL an especially bitter proc
lamaticn asserting that WRANaEL was
a traitor to the Russian people and q
tool OF foreign countries. 4 new anti
Bolsheyist commander has appeared
in the west in the person OF General
BArAKoy1TcH, who has met with con-
siderable success In White Russia.
Fills first nim was to join General
WRATGEI, but the retreat Of this com,
mander's force and the concentration
Of the Soviet sarmies in the south
caused him 70 change his plans.
It is now reported that General
BAIAKoy1rCH is reaching beyond the
White Russian territory and will make
n dash for Smolensk and Moscow.
The menace to their capital might
well halt the southern advance OF the
Bolshevlkl and cause such diversion
Of Soviet troops for It's defence as 10
give WEArGEL an opportunity to
strengthen his lines snd save his army
from annihilation.
General wnANGEL has made a val
iant fight aud the successes which he
attained were won over strongly adj
verse circumstances. His army was
small, inferior in numbers even to the
troops under General DKrIRIET. and
II az poorly equipped with supplies
and arms. WEASGEL avoided one
mistake OF his predecessor: he made
no attempt to. control civil affairs Of
the territory be occupied aud he left
the inhabitants FREQ to form their own
government. He was, however,
member of the old aristocracy, and
this fact was made the basis of the
charge that he was attempting TO re-
store the iInperialist rule. To this
was added the contention that he was
working solely in the interest OF for
eign nations and with their backing.
The Bolshevist propaganda on these
two points was especially effective In
the Caucasian region, upon which he
depended for support.
General WRANGEL Is the head Of tho
fourth military attempt 10 release

has apparently accomplished little
