er chairman OF State Coal Com
mission, conferred yesterday after
noon with a committee OF City
Council relative 10 its tatus and
powers. The committee was ad
vised by Mr. Kemp that the com
mission has no legal powers.
The criticism that the commission
IS controlling coal prices and Us
method of distribution was given Q
thorough airing. When questioned
as TO the power and purpose of the
Commission, Mr.. Kemp said that II
had no legal power to set standard
price on coal for Wilmington nor 70
direct its distribution, but that II had
been appointed by Governor Denney
TO cooperate with coal dealers OF the
city 10 set a fair price for anthracite
coal and TO see that every consumer
in the city was given equal oppor-
tunities TO buy coal.
Councilman John Mulvena pre-
scented several charges made by the
Wilmington Coal Company, with
offices at Front and Orange streets
against the Coal COMMISSIONER
These charges were:
First, 1--WE charge the Fuel COM
mission with refusal TO give as
sistance or co-operation 10 the VIII
mington Coal Company" land sec
ondly. I'VE charge the Fuel Com
mission with st-dsting delivery OF
orders of the wilmington Goal
Company to provide families who
are in extreme need of coal
In the first charge the Whining
ton Coal Company accused Leon G.
Walker with influencing a Philadel-
mia coal company. with which the
company had done business for
number Of years, to stop further de-
1iveries OF coal to them.
Mr.. Walker firmly denied this
charge. stating that he had tried 10
have the Philadelphia company In
question send coal TO the Whining
ton Coal Company but they had re-
fused on the grounds that the mad
10 look after their larger dealers IN
preference to smaller firms.
In answer to the second charge OF
post-dating coal orders Il was shown
by the commission that the persons
who had not received coal were
those who had sent In orders to
more than one dealer for different
grades of COAL
The commission said that there
was absolutely no discrimination in
the distribution and that such post
dating OF orders was due TO duph-
cations occurring from ordering
from more than one dealer.
The following questions were
asked Robert d. Kemp by Mr.. Null
vena, OF the investigating commit
zee.
what is the average allowance OF
ooal TO each family?" Mr., Kemp
answered that the commission tried
10 have every family receive one
months allowance.
HAS the Governor made any pro-
vision for the maintenance OF ths
delaware Coal Commission MI
Kemp answered that the Governor
had made no such appropriation.
Mr.. Mulvena then stated that II
was rumored by some coal dealers
that they paid as high as 20 cents on
each ton allotted them for the
Of the Fuel Commits
sion office. This was denied by Mr..

BEST Highway IN KANSAS
Six Victory Highway PatroImen Re-
ceive Bonuses of $25.

The Victory Highway has been pro-
nounCed the best maintained stretch
within a radius of 100 miles from
Kansas City. AS a result of that des-
ignation, six of the patrolmen regular
ly employed by the county engineer
will receive bonuses of $25 each.
In 1921 the Good Roads association
of Greater Kansas City offered a prize
of $500 for the best maintained road
across any county, within a radius of
100 miles of Kansas City.
the Victory Highway across Shaw
nee county, and a road across Rich
ardson county. Nebraska, were tied
for first place in the judgment of the
committee appointed to inspect the
roads. Consequently the prize money
was divided between the two counties.
The award was made on the regu-
lar maintenance work which we have
been doing in the past" a. c. Lager
wall, county engineer, stated today.
Il ina gined that some stretch nearer
Kansas City would get the prize, so we
put forth no special effort The reg
-ular force was kept at the regular
maintenance work. Lagerwall has
received the check of the association
for $3.50.
The committee which inspected and
judged the roads in the contest, was
composed of J. Frank Smith, secretary
and manager of the Good Roads asso-
citation of Greater Kansas City; George
W. CattS, agricultural commissioning OF
the Kansas City, Mo, Chamber of
Commerce, and Harry T. Crosby, sales
manager of a Kansas City truck COM
pany.
The committee covered hundreds of
miles of roads in Kansas, Nebraska
and Missouri in the course of their in
spections. Brown county, Kansas,
and Harrison county, Mo, tied for sec
ond place in the contest.
The. committee inspected the Shaw
nee Victory Highway thru Shawnee
county early this spring.

FOOD? mot SO"
Russian Peasants Thought Our
Aid a Poison Plot.
Couldn't Believe Any One
Would Help Them to Life.

Tsaritsin, Russia, May 22.-The
Volga River valley were amazed when
peasants of the little villages of the
the food supplies of the American Re
lief Administration began to arrive.
They had not believed it possible that
promises of food would be fulfilled
Newspaper articles which have been
collected by agents of the A. r. A.
show some of the establishment these
people felt when at last they received
the hoped-for gifts from America.
1T is very fine but it cannot last,
said one peasant whose children had
received food from the A. r. A.
Surely they will stop it soon. They
give us a little bread, milk, soup and
beans and the children come back to
life. Their cheeks are like apples.
When we had bread they did not look
so well even at three pounds a day.
The Russian writer who interviewed
the peasants told them the distribu-
ton of food would be continued until
the next harvest.
In some of the remote cantons
where there are many strange sects
suspicion. THE devil is tempting
us" muttered some of the faithful
when the corn and cocoa absolutely
unknown before arrived. He is pos
ing as an American and trying to
make US drink his brown poison"
They upset the boilers containing
the cocoa made for the children ana
the A. r. A. inspectors were com
PEELED to conduct a campaign of edu-
cation to. explain the meaning of al
bumin and calOries.
$50 they have mixed albumin in
the flour" declared some of the sus
picious ones. 1T is to tempt us,
trick Of the devil. Don't touch it,
brothers"
Since they had already eaten dogs,
why not try this devilish, strange con-
coction. They sampled it and were
pleased. Having been assured that
the Americans also believed in God,
their fears vanished. Son almost
two-thirds of the children in this area
were being fed by the A. r. A. There
is no more talk of the devil.
