Saturday on receipt of the findings OF
the senate committee on reconStruc-

sale of fuel TO the war department
and other branches of the government
during the shortage.
Prices asked government depart

1t would appear on the face of the
report, Mr.. Nebeker said, that prices
charged the government for coal were
exorbitant to degree, and that action

coal to the government were listed by
the committee, he added, but would

CHAN. lord mayor of Cork, who, on
his arrival last week at Newport News
rs stowaway and without passport,
was temporarily admitted on parole by
the labor department.
The decision, announced Monday by
Acting Secretary Davis. brought forth
the assertion by labor department Of
ficials that Jurisdiction still rested
with the secretary of labor. This in
dicated continuation of the contro-
versy between the two departments.
Secretary Davis said that he con-
CURED in the opinion of the solicitor
of his department, as forwarded to
him on January 10, that there was no
reason to make an exception in the
case of O'Callaghan as regards admis-
sion without passport. He said he
was communicating his decision to Sec
rotary Wilson, and added the intima-
ton that his department, acting under
the wartime powers given the presi-
dent to regulate entry Of aliens. might
recommend that the department Of
justice be called upon to deport the
Irish mayor.
Labor department officials asserted
that Secretary Wilson did not recog-
nize that the case of O'Callaghan had
yet come within the jurisdiction of the
state department. inasmuch as he had
not formally referred 1t to Secretary
Davis. Secretary Wilson had not be-
gun his consideration of the case,
and 1t was said he would not take
1t under advisement until it had come
to him through regular channels.

London. Growing seriousness of

needy, charging the cost upon local
taxes.

not to Increase the scale of relief work
in Norwich, on the ground that the
taxpayers We're unable to afford it,
but the chief of police notified them
he had received communication to
the effect that If help was not granted,
the unemployed had determined to use
direct action" He declared the po-
lice did not desire any disturbance of
public order, and under this threat the
| guardians" yielded and doubled the
taxes applicable to feeding the poor.
In doing so the chairman Of the
guardians remarked it was the first
time III the history of the city that
the police had been overawed by
threats from the unemployed"
The burden thus placed upon the
taxpayers has caused dismay. The adj

4 CENTS A DAY
PLENTY TO KEEP
A WORKING MAN

"Six cents a day is enough money
to provide a feast for strong man
doing mans work." declared H.
H. Cloud, 66-year-old cyclist, who
dropped into Albuquerque yester-
day en- route from Philadelphia to
Los Angeles by bicycle. Mr.. Cloud
motored twenty miles yesterday
morning and arrived in the city
feeling ready for breakfast, so he
ate about a half cents worth of
lettuce and hot water.
His eating on his trip is costing
him about four cents a day. He
cycles from forty to fifty miles each
twenty-four hours!
This thing of sitting ones
stomach with food is all bunk"
stated the conservationist." Just so
you have something in the stom-
ach to keep the sides apart is all
that Is necessary. I've tried saw
dust and that sort Of thing and got
ten along fine. A little lettuce or
cabbage, a few grains of green
corn and hot water, though, is Just
about right"
The 66-year-old youngster passed
through Albuquerque last year on
his bicycle, Black Beauty, en- route
from the coast east. He is now
making the return trip. When he
feels too poppy to ride, he Jog-trots
along the road leading his two
wheeled steed.
