Senate Speeds Action
on Some of Wilson's
Army-Navy Choices

Washington, Jan. 1S-Inaction by
the Senate on the thousands of NOM
nations submitted at this session by
President Wilson was broken today
and the way paved for confirmation
before March 4, of emergency appoint
mentS.
Attempts of Democratic senators to
force an executive session none of
which has been held since Congress
assembled last month, resulted in an
agreement between party leaders to
refer to appropriate committees, with
instructions to report the nominations
of 1854 army officers recommended
for permanent commissions by the
Pershing board and now holding tenn
porary appointments.
( This agreement was reached after
Senator Lodge had given notice that
his party would not tolerate any ten
dency on the part of the present adj
ministration to place it's followers in
office to.the embarrassment of the new
administration and after Senator I'm
derwood, the Democratic leader. had
assured the Republicans that there
was no desire on his part to do that"
The agreement, it later was said,
might lead to action before March 4,
on a few other nominations of an
urgent nature.

FEAR FOR CREW
OF OLD BARGE
ADRIFT IN GALE

Portland Ne, Jan. 1S-Search for the
large Waccamaw which broke adrift
from the tug Lehigh five miles south
cast of Cape Elizabeth Lightship in a
gale yesterday morning, was continued
today by the cutter Ossipee. Anxiety
was felt for her crew of three men, as
she was 10 years old and in none too
good condition.
The tug. which went out to look for
her after bringing the other two
barges of her tow into port, returned
last night without having sighted the
,nissing craft Those on board ex-
pressed the belief she had foundered.
The barge, owned by the Bradley
Fertilizer co. of. Boston: was return
ing light to New York after discharg-
ing fertilizer at Searsport.
The tug Lehgh went out again today
to resume tho search. Earlier reports
identified the barge as the Reading.
but it was believed this was incorrect.
Watch for the craft was being kept
at coast guard stations between Cape
Elizabeth and Rockland, as the pre-
fang wind would have carried her
toward BoOthbay Harbor if the crew
made use of her sails.
Boston, Jan. 1S-No trace Of the barge
Waccamaw with three men aboard
which broke a0rift from the tug Lehigh
of the Maine coast yesterday was
found during an all-day search by the
coast guard cutter Ossipee. The Ossi-
pee reported by radio tonight that she

Agencies Affected
Endorse Bill to
Regulate Coal Industry

Washington, Jan. 1S.--Regulation of
the coal industry as provided in the
pending Calder bill was endorsed today
by heads of two of the three govern
rnent agencies which would be charg-
ed with administration of the measure
Edgar +. Clark chairman of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, and
DIR. George o. Smith, director Of the
| Geological Survey. both of which
agencies together with the Federal
Trade Commission would be called
upon to enforce the regulatory pro-
visions, told the Senate manufactures
committee that the bill as drafted
would be workable. The chairman of
the Federal Trade Commission, Huston
Thompson, will be heard tomorrow by
the committee, which then plans to
hear the views of Vice President Nor
row of the National Coal Association
and other representatives of the indus
| try. 49,.
DR.. Smith was led into prolonged
argument during his testimony by
Senator Reed, Democrat of Missouri.
Isn't it fact that there was al
ways plenty of coal at low prices in
tlllS CDUIlTS pTIoT u 15if anu lHC
war;" Senator Reed asked.
do you know of q case where a man
could not go to coal yard and get
all he wanted at any time, barring
occasional strikes at times or railroad
tie-ups?"
DR.. Smith replied that the industry
had generally been "in bad condition
and unstabilized," and troubled with
over-production, to which Mr.. Reed
responded that "over-production gener-
ally is a good thing for the community
at largo" Senator Reed also asserted
that normal operationof economic sup
ply and demand would give a better
and cheaper coal supply than any fed
eral regulation, but DIR. Smith held to
his conclusion that there was a mid
die ground for regulation. by federal
authorities desirable in the production
and distribution of some commodities.
DR.. Smith told the committee that
the United States possessed half the
coal resources of the world and pos
sibly enough TO insure a supply for
thousands Of years"
"Isat it true that there is a limited
amount Of anthracite coal?" inquired
Senator Kenyon, "apd is not nearly all
of this produced by seven railroad
companies?"
b To this DIR. Smith agreed. although
he remarked that Organization in the
kanthracite industry as l have seen it
has operated to more public advantage
than DISCRIMINATION in the bitumi-
nous"
The director also agreed with. SEN
ator Jones, Democrat, of New Mexico,
that '.in times of emergency and linn
| tied supply the law of supply simply
operates to distribute coal to the rich
who can pay the price"

SUGAR men HAVE
THEIR INNINGS BEFORE
TARIFF COMMITTEE

Washington. Jan. 1S.-Criticism of
the governments methods of sugar

practically unanimous appeal of cane
sugar growers for protective duty
marked consideration by the House
ways and means committee today of
revision of the Underwood tariff act
as 1t applies to sugars, molasses and
syrups.
Practically the entire day was given
over - testimony of conditions in the
cane belts of the south, but repre-
sentatives OF several refiners, among
them former Representative John J.
Fitzgerald Of New York. were included
in the witnesses and they stirred up
the old-time strike between producers
and retiners.
Mr.. Fitzgerald declared that the
governments policy during the sugar
shortage last year had been such as
to pena1ize the whole nation in order
to favor Louisiana producers.

PIE pay for it."
Earlier in the day the committee
had heard the request of a delegation
from Porto Rico for a tariff on sugar
that would enable them to continue
an industry which they described as
basic in the life of the island
Representatives of the beet sugar
interests are scheduled to be heard
tomorrow. Their appearance with a
few more refiners, it is planned, will
conclude the hearings on schedule

Few OF the witnesses repres en- ting
either the producers or the manufac-
turers of raw cane sugar ATTEMPTED
to suggest a specific rate of duty. All
were content with asking the commit
tee merely to give them ample pro-
lection"
The argument advanced was that
cane sugar was an important addition
to the national sugar supply and there
fore It's production should be encour-
aged. Statements were made to the
effect that the industry would die I'M
less Some protection were granted.
The committee also secured Fred
erick 7. Bates, chief of the sugar d.
vision of the federal bureau of stand
ards. who urged re-drafting of the
sugar schedule so that archaic and
old-fashioned methods" Of assessing
the duty would be eliminated. Mr.
Bates, who was called by the commit
tee. declared that the method now used
was adopted among the earlier tariff
schedules of the nations history and
never had been changed.
The witness also suggested a pro-
hibitory tariff on rare sugars which
are used almost entirely in medical
work. He termed infants the indus
tries manufacturing these products
and warned the committee unless they
were protected revival of the Ger
man production would stine these
plants.
