I'VE are dealing with William j.
Burns," replied Ralston. "and we
know his methods" -,
Attorney General Daugherty was
represented by Paul Howland,
former Congressman from Cleve
land, who demanded that Keller
and Ralston name the men they
said were associated with in the
charges.
"I consider that impertinent and
of no bearing on the proceedings
Congressman 'Jeffries RepJ Of
Nebraska interrupted.
"The committe and the country
would like to know" Jeffries said,
whether this impeachment Is m
good or bad faith, and whether
there In animus. The people would
like to know who 10 behind the
gun"
Ralston then said he had assisted
Keller in preparing the impeach.
ment charges at the instance OF
Samuel Gompers. president OF the
American Federation Of Labor.
"This Is an attempt by Mr.
DauRherty to create q smoke
SCREEN" he said. There are some
thing over 100, 0,O00.0 people inter-
ested in these proceedings"
Being pressed by all members OF
the COMMITTEES Ralston said he was
only prepared to proceed on charges
affecting William ]. Burns, chief
Investigator in the Department OF
Justice.
"Other charges are to be pressed
by Samuel Untermyer, under.
stand" said Ralston. -
Congressman Graham Rep9 OF
Pennsylvania, demanded that Con-
gressman Keller present his facts
on which were based the charges
to be> pressed by Untermyer.
IL Counts Eliminated.
I'm present that when I am
ready" said Keller.
"Oh, no, you WON'T" said Gra-
ham. This committee, In conduct
ing the investigation and II win
not be run by you. This is an
evasion" @
Keller said he could not say
when Untermyer would come be-
fore the committee or n he would
come at all.
He said he could not be here
today" Keller answered.
Chairman Volstead then forced
Ralston to eliminate from the list of
fourteen charges all the counts which
others than himself were 70 press.
AT this particular time / am not
ready to say when we can proceed
with the other charges" said Keller.
II am not ready to give the names
OF witnesses now"
II ask that Congressman Keller be
sworn as Witness" said Congress-
man Graham. "And let us interro-
gate him as to what he knows, IL any.
thing, about these serious charges.
Ralston protested against such .
course, contending that Keller was q
member of the House and as pro.
ponent Of the charges should not be
forced to give such testimony. He
denied charges that he had delayed
hearings and said he was ready 10
proceed with the labor charges.
How long q program have you for

IT may take several weels," said
Keller. T',31 !

shall said he was anxious to get
the facts about those who were not
reputable. .a
The witness also expressed the
opinion that there were too many
coal dealers in Washington. He
said that each dealer has an over
head and as q result the public 10
forced to pay all OF this overhead,
whereas IL there were a small num-
Der OF dealers. the overhead could
be cut considerably.
Loss by Dealers.
The loss by local dealers Of Gov.
ernment business has also affected
the coal situation here. Mr.. Dove
said. He told the Commission that
IL he could get the Government
bituminous coal business returned
to him he would reduce the price Of
anthracite coal to the househoiders
by so cents q ton.
Questioning of Mr.. Dove brought
out that his business comprised
two.thirds soft coal and one-third
hard coal. He said that he was
losing money on soft coal.
"In other words the persons
buying anthracite coal from you
are paying for the overhead OF
your business" he was asked.
Unfortunately that Is true" re-
piled Mr.. Dove.
Members of the Commission went
very deeply into the coal situation
today and indicated that the probe
now under way viii be one OF the
most far reaching the National
Capital has seen.
Mr.. Dove when he. first took the
stand was asked about the present
increase in price. effective Decem'
ber /.
This increase Is the result.
LARGELY. of an increased price from
the Mines" Mr.. Dove said, One
company increased Its price 10 cents
a ton, another 20 cents ton, ana
several 81 o ton.
my firm has been. losing money
for the last six months. In one
month we lost as high as $4,000.
"The increase coal price and our
losses we coupled together and DE.
cided to make ah increase IN coal
OF bV Genus u tOns ahhS-hvo O~ne
OF this amount igoes to the mine
owner and the other IL cents to the

Reason f(r Increase.
Mr.. Dove was abksd why he hadn't
Increased the cob prlce during the
past six months when he was losing
money.
II didn't have the conscience 10
booet the price TO the amount reQuir-
ed to nay overhead" he said.
Mr.. Dove explained that only .
small amount OF cal was coming IN
and that he didn't think II fair TO
raise the price 70 make the pur-
chasers OF these small amounts pay
the entire ovsrh<qd OF the business.
He said that mofe coal was cosnfng
In now. and that ~ felt justified IN
making the incrsase.
The commission then asked Mr..

BEAVER TRANSFERRED
TO SAN LUIS VALLEY

Beaver in the creeks at Sargents
are being transferred by the Forestry
Service To Alder, keber, Kelley and
Peterson creeks in the San Luis valley
at the request Of the ranchers who
know the value Of the animals in con-
serving the water supply. The animals
are trapped but the traps are padded
so that no injury is done. Forest
Supervisor Agee has men posted at
the traps every night to take the ami
mails as soon as they are trapped, else
they might gnaw off their own leRs
and escape.
The ranchmen in the San Luis val
ley assist the government in protect
ing the animals and their dams. The
beaver captured this week are two
years old and yearlings. The animals
are three years old before they breed
and they have one litter of two to
thre each year.

Dear Mother and Dad:
So far so good! We came here
from Antwerp yesterday, a six or sew
en- hour trip. We had one grand time
leaving, for | couldn't find our bag
gage check 1--WE sometimes check our
suitcases at the station over night and
just take our bags) and they wouldn't
let US describe our baggage or any
thing. Finally, after | had gotten
back on the street car to go back to
the hotel, | discovered it, carefully
folded up in my coin purse. 1t showed
US how careful they are over here of
baggage, and believe me, it also
showed us that we had better hang
onto our checks.
We left Antwerp about Q o'clock.
There was Portuguese in our CON-
partmeut, who knew few words of
English and mixed some French, Ger
man and English together (nostly
French) enough TO tell US n good deal
about Holland-hotels, money, etc.
and guided US around at the border
(Esschen), where we had to change
trains, have our baggage examined,
and our passports signed Tor stamped

dam. He says there are 6O0, 900 peo-

larger than when you were there,

HERE'S TO THE WEEKLY.
.KinL--Asriealtar.l cellee.:-

-kink'-Agricultur.l College:-
When you hear someone speak Of
the Country Weekly" you never
think of a newspaper printed in The
country. Your impression is rather
of a neat little publication issued from
4 small shop in q small town which
is probably the center Of fairly
large and prosperous community.
Is that not correct!
Then why do we not call that
newspaper Community Weekly"
That would be broader title and one
far more characteristic Of its service.
Il does not limit It's news to items
from the country. Its service covers
the city town or village and surround
ing community. II is public utility
on a small scale
Give the weekly its just dues for
II Is aways power in the community
The large daily may carry more for
eign news and more scandal of the
day. but the accurate and truly
wholesome news of the community
viii be found in the Community
Weekly"
Along with its wholesomeness goes
ACCU RACI-more than any daily
can possibly possess. The Community
Editor takes the time TO collect the
news personally or his friends upon
whom he can rely hands it. TO him,
thereby safeguarding its reliability.
Where will you find the big city editor
who can afford TO check each item,
large and small foraccuracy in de-
tails And that is the stronghold of
the weekly.
Therefore, because of its accuracy
and wholesomeness, and the thoro-
ness OF its service to its community,
the publication representing your dis
trict and town deserves the broader
title of THE COMMUNITY WEEK
