WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, August 1.-Senate
Democrats, recognizing an advantage
in their demonstration of the per-
sonal interest of some Of the Repub-
lican Senators in the wool schedule,
are preparing to follow up thir ad-
vantage to the limit.
Armed with a photostatic copy of
documents showing the origin Of the
famous wool pool, Senator Harrison
of Mississippi is prepared to make
a further attack on Senator Gooding
of Idaho, who has been bearing the
brunt of the fight for high wool
rates.
Sena or Caraway of Arkansas has
declared his intention Of offering an
other resolution to investigate the
personal interest of Senators in the
wool schedule. The Senator also in
tends to follow up his fight for an
investigation until the Republicans,
through force Of public sentimnt per-
nit it to go through.
Nearly all of the Senator'S charged
with having a personal interest in
the schedule have already publicly
admitted their connection with the
wool growing industry Senators
Smoot of Utah and Oddie of Nevada,
however, have repeatedly denied any
such interst and their statements
have been taken at face value Sena-
tor Warren of Wyoming, Bursum of
New Mexico, Stanfeld Of Oregon and
Gooding of Idaho have admitted their
connection with the industry but
have made the point that their con-
uection with the industry only makes
them the more able to speak intelli-
gently on the subject Of a proper pro-
tective tariff for the wool growers.
Heartbroken wives Of runaway hus-
bands, distraught and frantic in their
misery are unjustly haping the blame
for their redicament on the Post Of
flee Department according to Solici
tor Edwards of the postal service.
The trouble all lies in the fact that
many marriages are brought about
by ardent lovers who use the mails
in search of matrimonial alliances,
and, by the way the letters condemn
ing the postal service are coming in
to the legal department of the Post
Office it seems that NOSE Of matri-
monial adventurs are unsuccessful.
at is the prevailing opinion of
these letter brides" said Mr. Ed
wards, that inasmuch as the court
ing and arrangements for the mar
riages were transacted entirely by
mail. that the Post Office Department
is to blame for their unfortunate
domestic conditions"
But inasmuch as the department
deals only with the collection and dis
tribution Of the letters continued
Mr.. Edwards, "the postal service has
no control over the persuasive Ian
Puage written in sealed envelopes of
the unscrupulOus lovers"
The victims are advised to consult
lawyer for the solution to their
trouble.
More than million tons Of coal
will be moving from Wales and the
East Coast of England by September
1st. according to figures compiled BY
]. Barstow Smull, Vice President of
the Shipping Board. This shipment Of
coal from Wales and England is not
expected to greatly relieve the situa-
tion as the output during a week in
this country under normal conditions
is nine million tons although at the
present time less than half of this
amount is being mined.
Fifty vessels have been chartered
by the Shipping Board to expedite
this movement Of coal from the Brit
ish Isle and with the charters of ships
abroad the shipment is expected with
in the next thirty days.
Efforts are now being made by
commercial companies to perfect re-
ceiving and sending radio sets for
use on air mail planes. All available
