Havana, July 2s.--Included in tn,
list Of 27 special treasury fund.
amounting to over $9,0o0,0oo which
were alleged yesterday by Representa-
tive Bartolome Sagaro in denuncia4
tion to the supreme court to have dis
appeared from the national treasury
are postal money orders amounting to
81 ,s20,077, port works funds amount
ing TO s2,254, lao, and civil retirement

day.
According to the announcement, treas
tury department figures for May and
June show q total income of S9,700,O0O
with expenses of 1000. 900. Since none
OF these expenses have been paid the
complainant charges, there is an exi.
dent maladversation ow the amount re
ceived.
The unjustified difference between
receipts and disbursements during the
last fiscal year is declared BY Rep.
preventative Sagaro to be shown by
treasury department records, which
contain orders for the payment of
$Gs, 100000 but receipts for expendi-
ture of S77,000000.
In addition to these charges Repre-
sentative Sagaro filed others with the
Havana court petitioning an inyestfga-
tion into what he alleged were fraudu-
lent payments of 81 900 900 by the
department OF the natio-
al treasury and extensive funds in the
national lottery, the department Of
public works and the Havana street
department.

charges have been furnished to Mayor

can representative in Cuba, who was
quoted in q memorandum made public

tion in Cuba depended upon the finan-

|EMBARGOES ON
THREE ROADS
To Conserve All the Equip

y-
Embargo On All Freight
Excepting Foodstuff,
Livestock and Fuel

Washington, D. c., July % tBy the
Associated Press) Three coal carry
| ing railroads, the Norfolk and Western
Chesapeake and Ohio and Louisville
and Nashville, have declared embargoes
over their lines against the acceptance
of any freight except foodstuffs, live
stock and fuel. The actions were taken
under the interstate commerce commits
sion declaration of an emergency, which
authorized roads embarrassed by the
shopmen's strike to show preference
and establishment priority in transpor-
tation.
The object of the embargoes is to
conserve all the equipment and facili-
ties of the three carriers for the trans
portation of coal
The roads serve the non-union btu
minous mining areas south Of the Ohio
river which have furnished most OF
the country's coal output since April
l, when the miners struck in all the
unionized fields and officials have de-
clared that the tieup on their lines In
dicated railroad unions were working
with the miners to stop production Of
soft coal
All three had been carrying record
breaking quantities Of coal until the
shopmen went out, after which their
tonnage was Immediately cut in half
The Louisville and Nashville line
serves Kentucky coal fields which have
been the principal source Of coal sup
ply since the strike for Chicago and
other middle western points
Managements Of the road notified the
commerce commission that they would
modify the embargo orders AZ rapidly
as conditions permitted, and gradually
accept other classes Of freight for
movement as they were able to trans
port it without interfering with the
coal flow.

Governor Cox Suggests
Federss gtion to that End
AgaS Coal Brokers
TO Fl GENT
! 5H COAL PRICES
Sug5 g Total Commits
sions Between Mine Price
and Consumer Be Fixed

Boston, July Ex-Governor Cox to-
day suggested to Secretary Of Com
merce Hoover that federal authority
be used to prevent repetition Of the
speculation among coal brokers that
occurred in 1920.
The governor in letter to the sec
retary said he had been advised that
re sales Of coal within the trade, "ac-
centuated the apparent shortage in
l920.e
He suggested that total commissions
and brokerage between the original
sale at the mine and to the retailer
or consumer be fixed by the govern
ment.
In 1920 the governors letter said,
Massachusetts experienced great diff
ficulty in controlling the price Of coal
to consumers on account of the active
speculation among brokers These
brokers, located in many cases out
side the commonwealth, speculated in
bills Of lading so rapidly that in some
instances coal was purchased and sold
some eight or nine times before reach
ing us.
"The increase IN price in each trans
action was small but the total increase
in price resulting between the original
shipper and the receiver here was
large. Again, the artificial high price
thus created for portion of our fuel
supply was used as an excuse to JUST
fy unreasonably high prices in this
state"

SHAREHOLDERS LOSE
Finding of Board Of Arbitration That
Common and Preferred Stocks Were
vaIueless Upheld.

London, July 2s.--The Grand Trunk
railway shareholders appeal to tn.
privy council has failed The appea
was dismissed to-day by the Judicial
committee of the privy council.
The appeal was from the finding oi
the board Of arbitration last year de-
claring the common and preferred
stocks of the railway saneless. The
boards decision was rendered in Can
ada over the differences that arose in
determining what the dominion gov.
eminent should pay the stockholders
because of its purchase of the system.
The members of the board were Sir
Thomas White, former Canadian min
lister of finance; Sir Walter Cassels,
justice Of the Ottawa exchequer court,
chairman, who rendered the majority
decision, and William Fl. Taft, now
chief aistice OF the United States, who
dissented
Only the bare Judgment was given In
to-day's finding The reasons will be
announced later.

appeal was the correctness of the de-
cision of the majority of the arbitra-
tors in excluding as inadmissable the
evidence of the value of the property
scale assets Of the Grand Trunk Rail
way company and their subsidiary
companies, which was rendered by the
appellants.

TWO INJURED W,HEN
AUTO HITS A TREE
Automobile Nearly Demolished in Acci.
dent on Maple Avenue
Last Night.

! A Buick roadster, owned and driven
| by Mike Thompson Of this city, came
to grief on the curve at the junction
of Maple avenue and Brook street last
evening when it made connections with
a tree. The result was few injuries
and demolished motor car.
The auto containing Mr.. Thompson,
Jack Robinson and H. Parks, the latter
riding ON the running board, came up
Maple avenue at fair rate of speed
and, according to those who witnessed
the accident, the tire and rim came
off as the car rounded the curve letting
the left rear wheel drop to the ground.
When this happened Mr.. Thompson
was unable to hold the rear end Of
the car straight in the road and as a
result the rear left wheel hit the near
by ditch, completely demolishing it. As
he went into the ditch the driver saw
that he must inevitably hit tree if
he continued In that direction and
stepped on the gas in an effort to get
back into the road. He was unable TO
stay the progress Of the car however,
and, after glancing of one Of the huge
poplar trees in the yard of z. Lambert.
the left forward end Of the car smashed
into the next tree with tremendous
force.
The force OF the crash was such that
it tore off the front wheel and snapped
the hub which few against the Lam
bert house. The left front fender was
crushed fiat to the body, the heavy axie
bent nearly double and the steering
rods and frame twisted and bent. Even
the hood of the vehicle did not escape
for it,. too, was smashed in.
Thompson, who held the wheel dur
ing the crash, had his body thrown
against it, swapping off the wooden
rim and bending the stays and steering
column against the dash. He suffered
small cash on the left leg from the
flying glass and number of other
bruises, the extent Of which have not
been determined Robinson escaped
with bruises and minor scratches, after
having been thrown through the wind
shield and onto the hood of the vehi
Gle. Parks escaped without injury, ow
ing to the fact that he was not in the
car itself.
Police officials and the secretary Of
state were called by people living in
the vicinity and representatives from
both offices went to the scene. On their
arrival Chief Sullivan and Mr.. O'Brien
were unable to find Thompson and Rob
inson but learned that they had gone
to a nearby house to wash up. and |
from there went to the Robinson home
On the East Montpelier road. The Off
riaIs went TO the house and obtained |
The story of the accident from the men.
According 10 spectators the car was
equipped with two set9 of plates. one
'et bearing Massachusetts, registration
being found under the front seat.
A number of local garage men were
,alled to the scene and by 1880 last |
evening they had the wreck in posi-
lion SO that it could be hauled to the |
Kelly Nelson garage.
Reports TO the effect that there was
liquor in the ear were denied by police
,fIicials to-day but an investigation OF |
he accident was started this morning
