4, partmsnt Paid Over 81.

Washington, Jan. e.-The senate COM
nlittee inQuiring into the high cost OF coal
last year was informed at resumDti IN OF
its hearings today that while the bureau
of mines was buying coal at $40 ton
through an arrangement with the Nation
al Coal association, which required no
fees, the war department was buying coal
at over 81 a ton through Colonel u. B.
Wentz, president nf the association, on>a
commission basis.
The statement concerning the arrange
ment of the bureau of mines was made by
Chairman Calder of New York when Col
onel Wentz was testifying as to his ser
vices for the war department during the
shortage of last summer and early fall
The latter said he had purchased and
delivered to the department 10000 tons
of coal at slightly above 81 ton. Tor
which he had received commissions aggre-
eating 900. His contract, he added,
would have allowed him to purchase
275, 900 tons and earn additional commits
sions of $101,O00, but he had refused to
do So because of hte falling market.
Senator Edge, republican, New Jersey,
told the witness that his conduct had
been very fair to the government, much
better than your contract required"
Colonel Wentz denied in Ieply to a
question by Chairman Calder that the
coal association directors had discussed
prices at meetings"
You hold the theory that the coal
business is private concern. with which
congress and the public has no concern
Senator Kenyon asked. But don't you

prices, lis factor in making discontent|
Yes, but not more so that with food

orally were agreed that Charles Evan
Hughes, of New York was uppermost in
his mind for secretarJ of state, AMI that
Charles G. Dawes of Chicago had the in
side track for secretary of the treasury.
There was equal unanimity in the pre-
diction that these selections and possi-
bly, that of Henry Wallace of Iowa. ror
secretary of agriculture would be made
known very early in the new year
Since then the cabinet question has
been under daily considerable by the

O'CALLAGHAN PARoLED
BY SECRETARY WILSON

Washington, Jan. 6.-Confiict between
the department of state and the depart
ment of labor was foreshadowed today
over final decision as to the admission of
Daniel J. O'Callaghan, lord mayor of
Cork, who was aDprehended by immigra-
ton authorities upon his arrival at New
port News from Ireland as a stowaway.
without a passport.
Action of Secretary Wilson today in
paroling O'Callaghan upon his own recog-
nlzance, it was indicated, had been taken
without consultation with the state de-
partment, as the first knowledge of it was
obtained by Acting Secretary Davis of
that department from newspaper reports.
Even should O'Callaghan now be deport-
ed, it was held at the state department
that before that could be brought about
there would be- nothing 10 prevent his
coming to Washington and accomplishing
his announced mission to the United
States of testifying before the commission
OF the committee of one hundred inyesti-
eating the Irish conditions -
Secretary of LabSs Wilson, It is under-

Before taking action on O'Callaghan's

custom OF the department of labor in the
case OF an alien arriving in the United
states without passport to defer a de-

On account of the, friction which /,
said to have developed between the de.
partments of state and labor over the
admissibility of aliens without passports
it was understood today that Secretary
| Wilson probably would sustain the appea
OF OCallaghan without any reference o,

Acting on the impression that the case
already had been referred to the stat,
department. Secretary, Davis today took 4
under advisement and indicated that th,
policy of the department probably would
be against waiving passport restriction,
IN OCaElaghan's favor Secretary Davi,
said the lord mayor could scarcely b,
