Sc A TON PROFIT ON
COAL BAKER BOUGHT
Purchase Was Made Under
Stress Of Need to Keep Ill
Soldiers Warm.
Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Birenu,
Wa shington, ID. c., Jan. B.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. C., Jan. o.
A total OF 765, ,252 tons of bituminous
coal was purchased by the War De-
partment at prices nearly s6 ton more
than its cost of production. 1t was testi-
fled to-day by Col. G. p. Barney, pur-
chasing agent Of the War Department.
before the special Senate Committee now
investigating coal profiteering.
According to estimates in the hands
of the committee the cost of production
was 1910. while the average price paid
ton, including freight was little less
than SO.
Part of these purchases. as testimony
already has developed. were made
through Col. d. b. Wentz, president of
the National Coal Association, who was
paid commission of fifty cents ton
on coal he bought. His testimony was
that he purchased about 10000 tons
under a contract. Col. Barney scaled
this amount to-day TO about $4,000 tons
up to November 80.
The committee sought to learn who
got the remaining profits, but this in
formation Col Barney was unable to
furnish The committee intends to set
that information, if possible. from other
reason for large purchases of spot coal
in open market by the department was
because of fear on the part of the
Secretary of War that they would be
unable to obtain coal for heating quar-
ters of soldiers in barracks The Secre-
tary was advised to commander coal as
1t is said was done by the Navy Depart
ment, but refused.
A marked discrepancy developed be-
tween the testimony of Col Wentz and
Col Barney. Col Wentz told the COM
mittee in former hearings that he had
advised the department not to buy coal
In the open market. Col. Barney would
not substantiate this and said the only
suggestion Of that sort was made by
Col. c. B. Crusan, an agent of the
Wentz company who only advised them
not to buy coal for storage.
Col Barney testified further that the
Wentz company through Col. Crusan
solicited the contract for purchase of
the coal desired by the War Depart
ment, urging at the same time that the
contract contain immunity from prose-
cution under the Lever act for profteer-
irg. The commission of so cents a ton.
witness said, was reduced later by the
Wentz company to 25 cents a ton.
Col Barney said this was about the
caSe, but that the department had
bought more cheaply than others who
bought spot coal In the open market
He estimated the price to the depart
ment was from 40 per cent to go per
cent. lower than other purchasers were
forced to pay.
The contract with Col Wentz stipu-
lated the price was not TO exceed $11 a.
ton. Members of the committee to-day
suggested that this made 1t possible for
an abnormal price to be charged. Col
Barney said the understanding was that
the coal was to be bought at the best
price possible.
What l should like to know" inter-
jected Senator Kenyon (Iowa). 'is
where the profit went The coal cost
S310 TO mine and cost the War Depart
ment $40 ton. Who got it?"
II do not know and l had no means
of investigating" replied Col. Barney.
