PLANS THOROUGH STUDY
OF INCREASED COAL COST

Representative Garland of Penn
sylvania, chairman Of the House COM
mittee on mines and mining, is gong
to make a thorough study Of the in
creased cost Of bituminous coal with a
view to determining whether the full
increase to the consumers Is justified
by Increased cost Of production.
Representative Garland has had
wide experience in the coal mining
business and says his experience
shows him that there are many other
costs in the delivery of coal to the
consumer beyond the mere wage paid
to the miners. 1t may be possible, he
said, that some Of these increased
costs NAV be found sufficient to justify
the operators in such increase in price
as $3.50 to 81 per ton.

The report had twice been asked for

then under resolution adopted several
weeks ago.
The commission made no recon-
mendations as to the United States
assuming a mandate over Turkey and
Armenia, but its report contained ex-
tensive arguments for and against
such action.
No mandate should be taken, the
commission said, without formal
agreement with France and Great
Britain. and also definite approval

tants. the mission stated. desire
America to take the mandate first.

The principal arguments advanced
in favor of the United States accept
ing mandate were that the influence
Of the United States would tend to
avert wars; that the Inhabitants
wanted American protection and that
this would give the United States an
opportunity to do a great humanita-
rian work.
Reasons advanced against a man

position relative to the Monroe doc

national duty and at the unanimous

colleagues in the league of nations.
accepting this difficult task without
previously securing the assurance of

The United States should make its

'In our opinion there should be spe-

In support of an American manda-
tory, the mission stated that the prob

unanimous choice of all the peoples in

In administration and sanitation, the
report continued, America could aid the

mere POSSESSION
OF ILLICIT STILL
NOW INDICTAbLE
Supreme Court Gives Decision
In MoonShine Case.

Though the state prohibition law
does not provide a penalty for the
specific offense of having in posses
sion a moonshine still, the supreme
court of appeals held Tuesday in
the case of State against Willie
Tomlin, from Lincoln county, that
mere possession of still is an in
dictable offense and may be punish
ed under the common law, as a mis-.
demeanor.
The basis of the indictment OF
Tomlin was the alleged finding OF
parts OF a moonshine still set up in
the attic of his mothers home.
There was no evidence that the still
was being operated by Tomlin and
he was not proven to be the owner
of It.
The statute makes it a felony,
punishable by two to five years, In
the state penitentiary, "to own. have
an interest in. or operate a moon
shine STILL but specifies no penal
ty for mere finding of still on
ones premises.
Answers Lincoln Circuit Court.
The ease was not tried below,
but was certified to the supreme
court for the answer OF questions
regarding the sufficiency of the in
dictment. In certifying the case
back to the lincoln circuit court,
the supreme court made the follow
ing answers, as set forth in the syl-
labus of its opinion:
where q statute forbids a thing
affecting the public but Is silent as
10 any penalty, the doing of It Is in
dictable and punishable as at COM
mon law, and is applicable in n
case whore the statute on which the
indictment was founded. makes It
unlawful for one to have in his pos
session 'moonshine still,' but pro-
vides no penalty or other method of
punishment.
Where one of the offenses
charged and inhibited by the tsat-
ute ts a felony. and necessarily in
Cludes another offense, also inhibi-
ted thereby, and charged In the in
dictment. hut or which no penalty
Is prescribed. the accused may be
acquitted of the greater offense but
found guilty of the lesser included
therein and punished as at common
law, and in such case 1t is error for
the trial count to strike out of the
indictment the charge of the lesser
offense."

MUNICIPAL LICENSES G. TAXES

A municipal corporation with
power in its charter to regulate and
license auctioneers, but without
power to impose taxes for the pro
ductlon of revenue, adopts an ordi-
nance providing for a license fee OF
s25 u Of one per cent on the gross
amount of sales of real estate and
vessels and two per cent on the
gross amount of sales of all other
property. Suit was brought by the
city for $500 fees due by one auc-
tioneer on one months transactions
The Supreme Court of Errors of
Connecticut holds in New London
VS.. Howe that the section of the
ordinance providing for the percen-
tage payments on sales is void as
an attempt to exercise the power
of taxation.
