Roads Seek Owners for
1000, 600 Tons of Coal

The railroads of the country are
unable to find the owners of more
than 100000 tons of coal, diverted
or conf,scated by the railroads during
the strike Of last November and De.
Gambler. according to their reports to
the railroad administration, now en-
gagged in winding up it's affairs.
This coal has been burned up as
railroad fuel without, so far as can
be learned, a bill having been render
ed or a dollar paid for ton of 1t.
what operators shipped this coal, the
railroads profess not to know.
One railroad system alone has burn
cd IN 1000 cars of coal as locomo-
tive fuel for which no bill has been
rendered and whose ownership the
railroad has been unable to ascertain.
CAN PAY FOR COAL.
Funds are available for the payment
for all OF this coal. The railroad ad-
ministration, through its division OF
claims and equity, department of ma
terials and supplies, is actively press
ing the work of tracing the ownership
OF this coal, lost in the tangle Of traf-
fc last fall, when the railroads sent
West Virginia coal as far West as
Texas and Iowa, and is urging the
individual railroads, formerly under
Government control. to use all means
possible to locate the owners and pay
them.
The foregoing report OF tonnage
seized by the roads and not claimed
by its owners Is based upon returns
received from 172 railroads between
June and June 30, and covers the
situation at the time each railroad
made its report. on June 30 reports
were still outstanding from % rail-
road companies out OF the 2e8 to which

Wisconsin Senator Reported to
Be Ready to Lead New
Movement.
S "WILLING TO BE SHOWN"
Republicans Look to Northwest
With Concern As Ticket

CHICAGO. July 8.-Senator Robert
n La Toilette. of Wisconsin. will ac-
oept tho Presidential nomination OF
the proposed third party II the con
ventions of liberals here next week
amalgamate into well-organized
unit and give him full sway regard
ing tho platform planks. This can
be stated authoritatively.
While the Wisconsin Senator has
made no statement and has received
no committees representing the Com
mittee Of Forty-eisht, the National
Labor party, or the Nonpartisan
League, the three leading factors In
the proposed third party, 1t Is known
that he is In q receptive mood. In a
long conference with q close political
friend the Senator made 1t clear that
he would make q public statement on
his stand in a leading editorial to be
published In his magazine in the issue
of July Is.
HIS HEALTH IMPROVING.
In this conference. according to the
informer, he made It known that he
was willing to be shown" His health
is said to be mending rapidly.
At the headquarters of both the
Committee Of Forty-eight and the La
Dor party the leaders said that La
Toilette was the principal candidate
under consideration. Representatives
OF the National Nonpartisan League
made the same statement.
! What fha. Senator will decide de-
pendS absolutely on the conventions 3

close to La Toilette. TT it is proved
to him that this movement represents
q solihed labor and progressive move
ment he Is in a receptive mood. If
it is proved that the money will be
forthcoming to stage a nationwide
campaign, he, more than likely, will
give an affirmative answer"
Those who are close to the Wiscon-
sin Senator are surprised that he Is
willing to accept the liberal indorse-
ment. For, despite his liberal views
on most national questions, he has re-
mained steadfastly Republican. so far
as party affiliation is concerned.
SAYS THIRD PARTY IS CERTAIN.
A. w. Kicker. a manager of the
third party's Chicago headquarters,
declared that as a result of the Demo-
cratic convention, the party is GER
tainty. He said that every State in
the Union is now represented in the
party and that the movement is gain
ing strength daily.
In addition to the national ticket,
the party will put UP Congressional
candidates throughout the country,
he said.
The party platform suggested by
the Committee of Forty-eight favors

WILSON WON'T USE
COOLING SYSTEM
Refrigerating Plant Installed
for Taft Not Used BY
Present Executive.

President Wilson's present inten-
tion Of summering In Washington, in
stead OF seeking some cooler CLINE,
recalls the extraordinary measures
employed by President Taft to keep
comfortable in the White House dur
ing the hot months.
There still remains in the Execu-
tive offices the big cooling plant in
stalled for the benefit of Mr.. Taft
Just beneath the Presidents private
office is a refrigerating plant capable
of holding a ton of ice. BY means OF
large fans the cool air is carried
through radiator into the office
above, making the temperature some
thing quite tolerant This manner OF
defying the sweltering heat was fire.
auently used by Mr.. Taft, but Presi-
dent Wilson has never resorted to the
use of the system.
Seven years ago President Wilson
had tent pitched on the south
grounds OF the White House for his
use during the summer. However,
the scheme proved impracticable, as
the rays of the sun made the inside
of the tent insufferatle. There is
only a miniature electric fan in the
Presidents study, where he now per-
forms his official work, and he uses
that only occasionally, having an
aversion for artificial air-hot or cold.
Frequent motor trips. and an occa-
sional cruise on the Mayflower seem
likely to be about the only recreation
in which the President will indulge
during the summer. The interior of
the White House proper Is remark
ably cool, so II Is not believed the
President will suffer much discom-
fort as result of his decision to
remain in Washington during the
aummer.
The Washington times., 1920-07-08

A few of the ninety-four railroads s
were good sized ones. but most of
them were smaller lines. Their re-
turns are expected to swell the ton
mage OF coal consumed and untraced
as to- ownership. There is no way,
Of estimating. however, to what ex-
tent the tonnage will be increased
by their report.
In addition the 1f2 roads reported
that they were engaged, at the time
(from June ] to June 30,) in settling
bills for confscated and diverted coal
consumed by them during the strike
period, aggregating $4,000. 900. A
large number of these bills have been
settled, in the opinion of railroad
administration officials. since the re-
ports were made-possibly half of the
entire amount.
OWE BIG COAL BILLS.
Added to this the claims liquida-
ton division had in it's hands claims
from operators for approximately
100000 worth OF coal taken by the
railroads during the strike over which
the roads of the operators had been
unable to agree as to the price.
It will thus be seen that on July 1.
more than six months after the last
striking miner had resumed work,
the railroads OF the country were
still s5,000.000 or more in debt to the
coal producers, owing this big bill
for coal seized and burned In their
locomotives last November and De-
cember.
Settlements OF claims for coal seized
by the roads at that time have been
one OF the best windup Jobs of the
Railroad Administration. As long as
the middle of April this work was
being carried on by Director General

SPA. Belgium, July S.-Following a
night conference with the Geramns
allied experts met this morning and
drew up a formal reply to the Ger
man counter proposals on disarma-
ment. 1t was stated that the answer
gives definite reply to Germany's re-
quest for fifteen months in which to
disarm.
NJ. Hymans, Of the Belgian delega
tion, was authorised to address the
German delegation In the name OF the

on the trials OF the German war
criminals.
When the statesmen assembled at
noon the Germans were informed
that the allied experts had not yet
completed their work, and the meet
ing was postponed until $3.50 o'clock.
The text of the allies disarmament
answer was finished at 1890, and
was then ready for delivery to the
German delegates.
1t was definitely stated that the
Spa conference will end Monday. as
Premier Millerand must return to

Even without the glare of the spot
light which has been cast upon him
by recent court happenings. Snow is
a most interesting character. Seven
ty-six years of age, he looks not more
than ffty-flve, and he talks with the
keen understanding and wit Of a man
of middle life.
He talks willingly-about every
thing but the court proceedings. He
would talk willingly about those ex-
cept that his attorney, George
Hoover. has advised him against ex-
pressing himself along those lines.
|. LOVES SMALL CHILDREN.
Snow is a philosopher at heart-a
lover of small children and dumb ami
mails. an, as he says, omnivorous
reader, and a Arm believer in the
theory that the only life worth while
lis a life Of service.
About women he thinks lot but
says little. He does say with Kip
ling, however, 81 learned about women
from her." The poem from which this
line Is taken, Snow says, he has just
committed to memory. He quotes an
other line from the poem in connec-
ton with his three marriages: And
one of them was prime"
Talking with Snow one gets a pic
ture of a man who has all the poten-
tialities OF happy husband and
father, but whom circumstances have
placed in a position where happy
home life is an impossibility and do
mestic bliss a misnomer. Snow ad-
mits himself that while he has been
quite successful in business he has
never had much luck with domestic
affairs.
MONEY CAME EASY.
money came easy to me-" he said,
"after I got started. But money II
not everything. Money can never
bring happiness. There II only one
thing that can bring happiness, and
that is love, combined with service.
81 am seventy-six years old, but,
thank the Lord. still have ideals,
and wouldn't exchange my ideals for
all the money in the world. The un-
happiness that has come to me has
not shattered my ideals. They never
will be shattered"
Snow speaks almost tearfully of his
little son. whom the courts have
given to his former wife, with the
understanding that he is to spend
each Sunday with his father.
"They have taken the little fellow
from me-" he said. In answer to the
question whether he would be allowed
to see the child next Sunday, xas usual,
Snow replied: II can only hope so,
Unless some proceeding Is instituted
In the meantime to stay the action
of the court shall see him"
EXHIBITS EMOTION.
II Is only when he speaks OF this
child that Snow exhibits any OF the
undue emotion which one might con-
meet with his age. At other times he
is cool, collected. But when refer
ence is made TO his small son the
mantle of youthful dignity seems to
slip from his shoulders, a sob enters
the voice which ordinarily is clear as
a bell, and G. A. Snow, millionaire
patent attorney, stands before you as
he really is-a man In the evening
of life, deprived OF the things that
make life worth while, and the GUS
todian OF millions which can never re-
store to him youth or happiness.
Snow was born TO be n clergyman,
he says. His father was a clergy
man before him. Mr.. Snow attended
an ecclesiastical college. He lived in
. very religious atmosphere. and he'd

to slip down cellar on Sundays to read
novels, he says.
"And while l was down cellar read
ing novels" he said, my father who
had forbidden me to read such books
on Sunday was upstairs reading SER
ials which amounted to the same
thing"
THAT 10 where SO many parents
make mistakes-in doing the things
they forbid their children to do. Chill
dren are going to do the things they
see their elders do. They absorb the
things around them like a sponge. If
a child is to be we'll bred he must
be reared in well-bred surroundings.
And in this .connection-if IT Ia
not out of order--I should like to
say that believe the education the
child gets in the home from It's
father and mother Is more valuable
than all the education it can get In
schools and colleges. We of this
century are too prone to depend on
the outsider for the education OF our
children. It Is a mistake. The foun-
dation of any child's education must
be laid in the home"
Snow has been married three times.
He remained single until he was
forty years old. BY the first wire
he had one child, who died when
four and a half years old. BY the
second wife-who, he says, was an
ideal woman-he had another SON
Chester A. Snow, who Is today
prominent young Washingtonian.
The third time he was married al
the age of seventy to the former
Mrs. Adds Hubbard Snow, whom he
now is charged with conspiring to
kill.
MUST RETAIN SILENCE.
And until the court proceedings
are finished, he is forbidden by his
attorney to say anything about the
alleged conspiracy other than that
"he has been double-crossed."
Before becoming a patent attorney
at which profession he has accumu-
lated the money he now has, Snow
was at one time school superin-
tendent, he did some newspaper work
and was employed for time In the
Bureau OF Navigation In Washing
ton. 1t was while thus employed that
he studied law, to which he later
turned his entire attention.
"It has brought me money" he says
"But l claim no credit for the wealth
l have accumulated. 1t doesn't take
brains to make money.
THE talent for accumulating money
is the commonest and the lowest tai.

FIND GIRL, Il, DYING
Of WOOD ALCOHOL
Police Unable to Establish Iden-

In Broadway Restaurant.

NEW YORK, July S.-Police are
mystified today by the secrecy sur
rounding the identity of an expen-
sively dressed girl found dying from
wood alcohol poisoning in a Broad
way restaurant early this morning.
The girl. about seventeen years old,
suddenly became blind in the restau-
rant while accompanied by three
young men. One man, Daniel Nc
Kehan. of Brooklyn. was arrested
but he has refused to reveal the
girls identity.
The girl was taken to a hospital,
where physicians said she could not
recover.
