While the issue OF Government
control of railroads and coal trans,
portation was being weighed in the
balance today. the Government
moved to quash possible profiteer.
ing in coal in the acute shortage.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover
called conference of producing
operators this morning to discuss
price levels, which already have
been knocked out of joint by the
four months tie.up OF union mines
and the consequent "panicky mar
ket."
Todays conference was the sec.
ond within a month to endeavor to
establish stable coal market in an
unsteady situation. The first con.
ference resulted in maximum
fair price" of $3.50 a ton for coal at
the mines being agreed upon. These
figures have gone overheard in the
scramble for coal Of the last few
weeks In some places coal IL
selling at the mines for $3.50 a
ton, according to Government ad-
vices.
"Panicky railway buyers" are re.
sponsible in large measure for the
mounting prices OF coal. according
to Government officials. Some
roads, being extremely short. have
sent buyers into the markets with
orders 10 get coal at any cost. and
this has resulted In $500 coal.

Drives Auto While Men
Fight Over Her.
BY International New. Service.

CAMDEN, N. j., July "a
While a woman drove a $4,000
automobile down the pike toward
Atlantic City, two men fought
about her in the back seat until
they dropped from exhaustion.
An three-they claimed to be
socially prominent In New York
were in the Camden county jail
today, sending feverish messages
to influential friends to effect
their release.
All Are Injured.
They were identified by cards in
their clothing as follows:
Stewart Fern Cuthbert. 3D.. 50
East Thirty-fourth street;
Mrs. Cuthbert:
Richard Clark, 81 West Fifty-first
street.
Cuthbert and Clark. battered and
bleeding and Mrs. Cuthbert with a
broken nose. were all treated at a
local hospital before they were
lodged in Jail.
The trio was arrested at Clemen.
ton yesterday, fifteen miles from
here. and sentenced to Jail by Rec.
order Wright.
Cuthbert was given sixty days; his
wife fifteen days: and Clark fifteen
DAYS.
Their car. worth $4,000 accord.
ing to Recorder Wright. is being held
in Clementon pending their release.
Breaks Woman's Nose.
The fight began. Cuthbert alleged,
when Calrk made an insulting re.
mark to his wife. The woman, driv-
ing at high speed, stopped the car
on a main street in Clementon with
the men pummeling each other in
the rear seat. Bottles were welded
and blood was flying freely.
Mrs. Cuthbsrt, trying to separate
the men, sustained a fracture of the
nose and a dislocated shoulder.
This morning she and Clark were
released from the Jail and allowed 10
60 to a hospital to have their in.
juries dressed for the second time
Two friends. whose identity was kept
a secret, arrived from New York and
made strenuous efforts to secure the
release of all three.
At IL o'clock this morning Clark
and Mrs. Cuthhert were released from
the county jail. Their friends ap.
feared before Recorder Wright at
Clementon, who reconsidered the
case and changed their sentence OF
fifteen days in jail to a fine of SIS
each, which was quickly paid,
Cuthbert, however, must serve his
siXty-day sentence.
The recorder explained that Clark
and the woman were convicted Of
disorderly conduct, which iS punish.
able by a fine. He said, however,
that Cuthbert was convicted of driv.
ing an automobile while intoxicated
and that the law fixes jail sentence
as the punishment.

In covering all points submitted to
