CHANGE IN
COAL CRISIS
White Says Movement is at
Standsti1l; Z Conn Denounc-
es Government Body.

st. Paul, Aug. 20 &C. P. White,
federal fuel distributor for the north
west, declared that the situation is
unchanged since yesterday, except
that reports of little coal reaching
the Lake Erie docks have been re-
ceived. The lake movement, how
ever, he said, is virtually at a
standstill.
Mr.. White. Mr.. Bowen and Gov
ern0r Preus will hold a conference on
the situation late today.
st. Paul. Aug. 29.-The federal
fuel administration in Washington is
In a chaotic condition and there is
great danger of total collapse of
the federal coal distributing ma
chinery, according to kilograms re-
ceived by state officials today from
Donald Conn., Minnesota coal repre-
sentative at Washington.
Upon receipt Of a report from Mr..
Conn today, Ivan Bowen, state fuel
administrator, declared there is no
possibility Of sufficient coal reaching
the Head of the Lakes to care for the
needs of the northwest.
Mr.. Bowen pointed out that thus
far absolutely nothing has been done
to limit the price Of coal. The hands
Of the state administration are tied
as far as price fixing is concerned, he
said, and the federal distribution
plan Is ineffective in this direction.
He declared the only hope Of keeping
the price down is federal legislation.

Murphy Of Grafton is a member OF
the state board Of administration and
}. I. Cahill Of Lieth is not, according
60 decision handed down today by
District Judge j. A. Coffey.
The decision is in the suit of the
state to determine the right Of MUIR
ply or Cahill to the office. The case
was heard before Judge Coffey ten
days ago in Bismarck and both sides
submitted briefs: the state was repre-
eented by Attorney General Sveinb-
1orn johnson ana the defense by c. L.
Crum of Mandan and William LANCER
Of Bismarck.
Qahill Not Member.
Judge Coffey, In his decision. de-
clared that Cahill did not qualify for
the office. II am satisfied that no
oath was administered" said the de-
cision, that the defendant did not
qualify at the time specified"
In the course of his opinion Judge
Coffey amplified his opinion that Ca
hill was not at any time during the
recent appointment qualified to hold
the office for which he drew salary
until the 9th of February when
Governor r. A. Nestos filed a letter
with the secretary Of state ANNOUNCE
Ing the withdrawal Of the appoint
ment. The final statement Of the
judge is that ''he is satisfied that the
oath of office was not filed with the
secretary Of state"
Judge Coffey called attention in his
decision to the fact that Mr.. Cahill
had filed a proper oath Of office when
he was appointed in 1921 to fill out
an unexpired term Of office and COM
pared this with the fact that seven
months afterwards on August / he
had testified on the witness stand
that .he was uninformed as to the

Washington, Aug. 2s.-Announcing
his support of the soldiers bonus as
nothing more than square deal for
the boys who did the lighting, Senator
Capper, Republican, Kansas, told the
senate today that ''the war prof1teers
and the peace profteers owe q bonus
to the soldiers of the world war"
There Is no better guarantee
against militarism than to require the
men who profit out OF war to pay for
it, he said. Those who remained
at home made enough here in the
United States to enable us to pay
many times over the debt we owe to
the men: who fought our battles.
Wall street wants to pay It with a
sales tax which would be paid largely
by tho farmers, the laboring people
and others in. the form Of g. tax on
food and clothing and other necessi-
ties" ~
Senator Cappen said the most
powerful influence against the bonus
was the u. s. Chamber of Commerce,
which, he charged, had taken a
referendum Of It's membership, not
upon the measure before congress,
but upon measure Of its own con
cocting.'
"Only nfty-fve per cent Of the
chambers membership voted upon
the proposition" he continued, land
a large proportion, Of these votes
came from the large centers of in
dustry. In spite of this only one
proposition out Of the four received
less votes in favor than 1t: did against.
and the total votes on the four propo-
sitions submitted, 4.116 votes were
cast in favor of, al propositions to
1857 against them"
