COA[ DEALERS MUST SELL AT
 ACTUAL WE|GHT
State Inspector Says Sacks Must Be Marked; Trouble Amicably Settled

R. E. Merritt, state inspector of weights and measures, wko came to Bisbee from Phoenix to investigate the sale of coal in the Warren dis trict, at a meeting of local coal deai- CTS held yesterday in the offices of p. H. Halleck. deputy inspector, in- formed the dealers .that when they sell coal the buyer must be told ex- actly what weight he is getting.
 The investigation arose over the difficulty of handling coal in Bisbee. Dealers are forced to snip the coai here in the summer, as the mines are unable to deliver in the winter, and ithey sack the coal from the NcarS, as this is the only way they are able
 to store and deliver it. The coal is weighed as it is sacked but before lt is sold in the winter it has been ; found that the sacks have lost some in weight, by leakage and pernaps Dy the evaporation of moisture It has been the practice of the dealers 10 sell the coal at the weight at which ! il was first sacked, but in some cases :the dealers have indicated on the charge ticket that the amount deliv- cred was fraction of the amount o. dered, as for instance, 1921 ton, in stead of 1000 lbs.
 The dealers expressed their desire
 and willingness to do anything in the matter Nthat the inspector thought right He informed the dealers that sin the future they must mark on the
 charge ticket the exact weight in pounds Of coal delivered He advised
 purchasers to order always by the ton or pound rather than by the
 sack. as in the latter case the dea1er may deliver as many sacks as are or dered without specifying the weight.
 Halleck explained that BisDee Is a peculiarly hard place in which to handle coal. as the dealers must sacK it when it arrives. and the shrinkage on each sack is always an unknown quantity. For this reason il is ditfi- cult for dealers to give an absolutely accurate weight. What the inspectors insist on is that the coal shall be weighed as it is sold.

SEC. WEEKS ASKS
u. OF p. TO YIELD
CLAIM ON WOOD

Washington, Aug. 12-Secretary
Weeks has asked the University of
Pennsylvania to release Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood from his promise
to become provost of the university
and it was indicated today that the
administration expected the reply to
be favorab BILE. General Wood will
then be free to accept the governor
generulship of the Philippines which
cannot be definitely disposed of,
however. until the university trus-
tees take action.
Should General Wood be released
by the university, he probably will
remain indefinitely in the Philip
pines, where he went some months
ago to undertake an investigation OF
conditions at the direction of Presi-
dent Harding. BY the time his in
vestigation is completed the admin
istration hopes to have obtained
congressional authority for his SER
vice as governor general without
loss of his army rank. He will then
take up his new duties without re-
turning to the United States.

ground in Prelimin-
airy Proceedings

Washington, Aug. 12.-(Ry the As
sociated Press .-Any expectation that
President HsTang will himself act as
a delegate to the disarmament confer
ence was overthrow by White
House announcement that he had def
nitely designated Secretary of State
Hughes to head the American delega-
ton.
1t was said that other members
were yet to De chosen, although the
president is known to have narrowed
considerably the list of those he con-
siders available He is understood to
have decided that at least one of the
places shall go to a United States SEN
ator, and the choice of a woman is
within the range of possibility.
The general expectation is that after
delivering the opening address of the
conference on November IL, the pres
ident will remain in the background
of the negotiations but keeping in
close touch with the proceedings
President Harding's close advisers
are said to feel that by keeping away
from details OF the disarmament dis
cussions he car reserve his efforts for
teh more important features and be
so placed as to act as mediator for
all the delegates in any disagreement
that might threaten the success of
the conference.
One of the pc blems which threatens
TO occupy the attention of the large
staff before it is solved was tackled
by the department today when it Of
fered its aid to the embassies and
legations of the invited nations in Sc
curing suitable quarters and other ac-
commodatlons for the visiting dele
cations.
Speculation in diplomatic circles
here today wa concerned chiefly with
the scope which may be taken by the
conference un ier the terms laid down
by the invitations. The most lively
topic of discussion was the statement
in the text of the invitations that
there should be consideration ot mat
ters which have been and are of in
ternational concern"

HUGHES TO HEAD

DISARMAMENT
PACIFIC CASTS UP
POSSIBLE CLUE TO
KENNEDY MURDER

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 1.-THE dis
covery of the butt OF a double barrel
ed shotgun in the Pacific ocean near
Santa Monica, was reported today by
sheriffs' officers investigating the
staying of ]. Bolton Kennedy.
The butt was found by camper, it
was announced. 1t was discovered
lying on the beach after the surf had
reCeded.
The camper, William Wylie, of Los
Angees, said he found the butt last
Saturday, but did not learn until yes
terday that shotgun was sought in
connection with the Kennedy Staying.
Then he turned the butt over to a To-
cal newspaper which had offered a
reward for discovery of the weapon
used in the Staying
At thesheriffI office it was stated
the butt APPARENTLY was from a II
gauge shotgun. Two II gauge cart
ridges We're found near the Kennedy
cottage, where the young broker was
found last Friday night with the back
of his head blown off.
The metal parts of the gun butt
were rusted when turned over to the
sheriff by Wylie, it was declared. said
they were bright and shiny when he
found the butt.
The discovery Wylie said was
made near a point where the divers
employed by District Attorney Wool
wine had been searching for the miss
ing weapon. The district attorney
selected this point because the mile
age registered on the speedometer Of
an automobile alleged to have been
rented Friday by Arthur c. Burch, in
dicted for the alleged murder. showed
the car travelled just far enough to
reach it.

COMMITTEES AGREE
ON IT, s. VALUATION
PLAN FOR TARIFF

Washington, Aug. 12.-The Ameri-
can valuation rlan Of assessing duties
on imported merchandise with modlf1-
cations and limitations proposed by
Republican members of the Senate f.
nance committee was accepted today
at joint conference by Republican
members of the House ways and
means committee and the program will
be recommended to the Senate as
part of the permanent tariff bill.
An attempt also was made at the
conference TO determine whether the
next tariff law would contain dye
embargo. Although no formal action
was taken, it was indicated that the
Republican leaders would provide high
protective rates for the dye industry,
but probably would not favor the sug-
gested three-year embargo. joint
committee composed of Senators
Smoot of Utah and Dillingham; of YER
mont and Representative Longworth
of Ohio and r'rear of Wisconsin was
named TO stud the rate question.
The House members also agreed to
an amendment by the finance commit
tee to the Longworth resolution ex-
tending the life of the emergency tar
if law as we'll as the dye embargo to
January /, or until superseded by the
permanent Law. The resolution with
its amendment was ordered favorably
reported
Changes made by the finance com
mittee Republicans, experts said,
would make the valuation plan more
workable and less likely to result in
litigation AS worked out by the ex-
perts and accepted by the joint con-
ference. ad valorem duties would be
assessed on the basis of the American
wholesale selling price on all imports
where comparable and competitive ar
ticles of domestic manufacture are
found This provision, it was be-
lieved, would apply to about rs per
cent. of all imports.
Where no comparable and competi-
tive Americanmade article is found,
the duty would be assessed on the
American wholesale selling price of a
comparable and competitive imported
mmodity.
In event no such basis exists, then
the duty would be levied on the value
of the article in its home land at the
time of export plus expenses to an
American port, and reasonable prof.,
totalling not less than 16 per cent. of
the articles value.
If no basis is found in the first
three alternatives. the basis of assess
ment would revert to the production
cost. plus the necessary expenses of
laying the shipment down in America.
