MAY ADOPT SLIDING
 SCALES ON COAL
BILL PROVIDES FOR SEASONAL FREIGHT RATES ON COAL
 SHIPMENTS.

Washington. = Cheaper coal will become a possibility this sum- mer if Congress passes without delay tke Frelinghuysen bill .proyid- ing for seasonal freight rates for coal.
 The bill authorizes the Interstate Commerce Commission Ito establish coal rates varying according to sea- sons, provided that the average an nual yield to the carriers is not di- unfinished. Under such authority it is planned to fix rates lower in summer during the rest of the year, in order to promote summer buying and stor- ing of coal and steadier mine opera tions.
 President Harding is convinced that lowering of freight rates would reduce the price of coal materially, but railroad executives dispute the soundness of this view, contending that the transportation cost now is only 9 per cent of the price to the consumer.
 The coal interests favor the sea sonal rate bill, and the railroads have offered no opposition to date. Its early passage by the Senate is predicted, and the House will be urged to pass it as an emergency measure.
 A companion bill for stabilization of the coal industry will be called up by Senator F'relinghuysen as soon as the other measure is disposed of. The stabilization bill gives the Commerce and Interior Departments broad in quisitorial powers in dealing with coal mining and distribution, and is being fought vigorously by the coal operators, wholesalers and retailers. Opponents attack the bill on the fol lowing grounds:
 It is regulatory in it's character, and seeks to establish governmental control over private industry.
 It is highly inquisitorial in it's na- ture.
 It violates the legislational guar anty against unreasonable search and seizure
 It makes possible the publication of private affairs.
 It violates the constitution in that it attempts to disclose information concerning matters which are not in the power of Congress to control. It obviously will fail to accomplish it's ostensible purpose, for the reason that the chief difficulties under which the coal industry operates are lack of adequate transportation and irregu- larity of markets.
 It will entail upon the national gov ernment great expense in the way of administration and will increase the cost of the production of coal.

ONLY MINOR BANGLES STILL REMAIN TO BE DIS
 POSED OF.
CONCESSION TO SENATE
Heuse Managers Agree That Borah Disarmament Amendment May Be Returned and Vote Taken On
 the Measure.

Washington-An agreement reach. ed by the conferees on the naval ap- propriation bill paves the way. it Is believed, for the triumph of the Bo- rah amendment providing for an in- ternational curtailment of naval ex. pansion.
 Facing a spreading Republican re- volt in the House against the admin istration attitude on the question. the House conferees gave up their fight to eliminate or modify the Borah amendment and agreed to accept it. The Senate conferees were forced to consent to elimination of nearly all the $9S,O00,0 000 increase placed in the appropriation by the Senate
 Surrender of the House conferees will bring the Borah amendment squarely before the House where IL is expected that it's adoption will speedily follow, although Representa-. tive Mondell, Republican leader, and Representative Porter chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, in. sist they @ill continue to press their disarmament proposal, which has tEe support of President Harding.
 The Borah amendment, unanimoas. ly adopted by the Senate, requests the president to enter into negot:a- tions with Great Britain and Japan for the curtailment of naval building. The substitute, drafted by Mondell and Porter with the administration approval, would involve eurtailment of naval building in the endless and intricate controversy over general land disarmament and would ex. press concurrence of the House ef- forts to effect reduction of arma- ments
 Charges have been made that the substitute proposal was designed to kill the Borah amendment. RepubIi- can leaders in the House announced recently that they would press their substitute to vote as an entirely separate resolution. When they ke- gan a canvass of the situation they discovered that there was strong sen timent against their plan among the Republicans and that they would have to combat healthy insurgent move ment allied with the solid Democratic strength.

HEAVY SHIPMENT
 OF ARMS TRACED
FEDERAL OFFICIALS HOLD MA CHINE GUNS FOUND HiD-
 DEN ON SHIP.

New York.-Ownership of the 495 machine guns and the hundreds of spare parts seized by custom officials after they were found hidden on the steamship Eastside, and presumed to have been destined for Ireland, still is the subject of investigation by gov ernment officials. The guns, through the agency of federal warrant of detention, were restored to customs officials from whom they were taken on warrant by the Hoboken police.
 The hearing was intended to bring out the story of Frank Williams that they were stolen from his warehouse, but was declared off after the federal writ had been served. Customs off cials say they sgill take the arms from Hoboken police headquarters to cus- toms storehouse and there hold them until the mystery is solved. Federal agents are working on several angles of the case, including an attempt to trace the guns fro mthe factory In which they were manufactured. They are also questioning present and for mer members of the ships crew. The inquiry will extend to Norfolk, to which port the ship cleared after Ieav- ing New York.
 MT. Williams through his attorney also is conducting an investigation to determine the identity of the persons who he says stole the guns from his warehouse. He also is concerned re- garding the whereabouts of 105 other machine guns which he said were stolen at the same tune and have not been found. Mir Williams is con- tractor with an office on Broadway, New York.
 Advices from Hartford, where the arms were made, said they were made for the Auto Ordnance Company of New York and shipped in the usual way. At the office of that company here knowledge of their sale to Frank Williams was disclaimed. The type of gun is known as the Thompson sub- machine gun and is sold through job bers in large lots. If Williams owned the guns, the official said, he must have bought the mthrough such job bers in small lots.

PLAN INAuGRATED BY JosEPHus DANIELS WILL BE MAIN
 TANNED.
NO REASON IS ASSIGNED
Pacific Squadron To Be Much More Formidable Than That Kept in the Atlantic-Will Be Seven First
 Line BattIeships.

Washington.-Th Harding admin istration has decided to continue the Daniels policy q division of the navy into an Atlantic and a Pacific fleet, despite the opposition of the leading naval strategists, who say that such disposal of the nations sea forces will mean disaster in the event of war.
 The Pacific fleet is to be made stronger than the Atlantic feet by the assignment to the Pacific of all the newer and more powerful oilburning first line battleships and the assign ment to the Atlantic of the older coal burning ships.
 The total tonnage of the Atlantic fleet as organized will be 699,473, ex- elusive of submarines, and that of the Pacific fleet S35, ,296 The Pacific fleet will be given two more first line battleships eventually than at pres ent. These ships now are under con struction. but the Pacific fleet will lose one second line battleship. In the aggregate the Pacific fleet will be 45,300 tons heavier than now.
 There will be seven Eventually nine) first line and six second line battleships in the Pacific fleet, com pared with il battleships of all classes in the Japanese navy. The Japanese have, in addition, four bat tie cruisers, and are building eight, while America has none and is build ing six. The tonnage of the Japanese navy is 540,426.
 Secretary of the Navy Denby has announced the plans of the reorgani- zation of the navy. When asked if these plans indicate the policy of the administration on the question of re- uniting the fleets, he replied
 Tt means a continuation of the pol icy of two fleets.
 The secretary declined to state the reasons for continuing the Daniels policy or to discuss the matter further than outlining the reorganization plan The decision to maintain the navy in a divided state was made by the president, it transpires, after con- salting with Mir. Denby, Secretary of State Hughes and other members of the cabinet
 The failure of Congress to provide Pacific bases adequate for the main- tenance for the entire navy in the Pacific is said to have been factor in the decision. At the same time the administration believed it unwise, on account of the international situa- tion in the Pacific, to withdraw the Pacific fleet and reunite the navy in the Atlantic, although the foremost naval authorities have said that the navy would be better prepared if based as whole in the Atlantic
