craft to be Taught-0pen to WO-
men and Men.

The call of the great out-of-doors
has reached the ranks of the Sunday
Schools and in answer to this call
Camp darlington has been instituted
and will be held on the fairgrounds at
Fairfax, Va, from Tuesday, July IS,
to Thursday, July 27, inclusive. This
will be an encampment where the BIZ
bic will be taught daily and the camp
will be open to all young ladies and
young men between the ages or Is and
81 years, who are members in regular
attendance of some Sunday School in
Fairfax or Arlington counties or
Alexandria City.
During the whole course of the en-
campment trained teachers will be
on the grounds to give instruction in
the various forms of wood-craft as
well as in the more serious subjects
of life. These teachers are, both men
and women, thoroughly trained in the
courses they are to offer.
A fee of ten dollars will be charged
to cover just the actual expenses Of
each camper. In the case of visitors
during the camj, and many are to be
expected, they will be expected to take
part in the camp activities and if they
remain to meals a pro rata charge
will be made for these
As far as feed for the campers is
concerned, it has been decided that as
the expenses will necessarily be heavy
that the cooking will be reduced TO a
minimum and that the products will
be secured directly from the produc-
ers in the county.
Camp athletic activities viii be un-
der the personal supervision OF Kirk

MIDNIGHT VISIT
Arnold Dropped of at Queen City
by Men and Told to Beat 1t Home
Report Made to Police.

Eight men, four white and four
colored, claiming to be prohibition
officers, at midnight last night en-
tered the residence of Robert Ar
mold, New Alexandria, a short dis
tance south of Alexandria, and

him near Queen City according to
a report made by Arnold to the
Alexandria police today.
Arnold says that he and his fam
lily had retired for the night when
he was aroused by humping on
the door. Coming to the window
ne peered out and the leader of
the men declared they were prohibl-
tion officers and desired to search
his house. They aroused the mem
bers of his family and finally he
says knocked him in the face with
pistol and told him TO remain
quiet Arnold says then they re-
lieved him Of S102 which he says
he had in his trousers pocket. Ar

says that one of the men while they
were on the journey remarked;
"Bob, We are awful sorry to do this,
but we needed the money"
At the time they dumped him,
Arnold says one of the men said to
him to jump out and he would tell
the other prohibition officials that
Arnold escaped. ers<
Arnold told the police today that
hereafter anyone who endeavors to
enter his house in the night time
will be greeted with a warm recep-
ton.
Arnold says he thinks he knows

Washington, July 14.-Wets and
drys clashed yesterday before At
torney General Harry NJ. Daugh-
erty on the issue Of whether intox-
icating liquors should continue to
be sold on American ships opera
ting on the high seas.
rPohibitiOnists urged Mr.. Daugh-
erty to rule that, under the prohibi-
ton amendment to the Constitution
Of the United States, and under the
Volstead act, it is just as illegal to
sell intoxicating liquors on Ameri-
can ships as if is upon American
soil.
Counsel for steamship companies,
on the other hand, contended that
Congress plainly meant the Prohibi-
tiOn act to apply only to the terri
tory" and the territorial limits" of
the United States. and that it was
the intnetion Of the law-making
body to apply it to vessels Oh the
high seas, outside the territorial
waters of this country.
A rumor was circulated that a
representative of the United States
Shipping Board would appear at the
last minute 70 uphold the action Of
that body in permitting the sale of
intoXicants on Government operated
vessels but instead the board simply
stood on the ruling Of its solicitor
that such sale is legal.
Mr.. Daugherty stated at the con-
elusion Of the hearing that he want
ed to take the matter up with his
associates in the department for
final determination; that so many
arguments and briefs had been sub
mitted that the case is thoroughly
understood. Two Assistant Attorney
Generals. Col. Guy D. Goff and

Washington, July l4.-The coal
strike situation developed additional
worries yesterday for the administra-
tion. Information of troublesome con-
ditions in the non-uniOn soft coal fields
accumulated while the nearer the time
comes for final reply by the soft coal
operators and the miners to the Pres
ident's proposals, the more doubts and
suspicious arise, and the bargaining
spirit increases.
In the non-union fields, from which
the. country'S demand for soft coal has
largely been sustained since the strike
was called April l, and upon which
the country very soon will be wholly
dependent, the Administration is dis
turbed by two facts: One Is break
by some operators away from the fair
prices named lately by Secretary
Hoover; and the other is substantial
decrease in output of coal, due mainly
to the railroad strike.
Mr. Hoover hopes to check the viola
tions Of the fair price agreements IN
a conference today with a committee
OF operators. He said yesterday that
ne had no plan in mind at this time,
but believed that when conditions were
canvaSSed, some means of stopping
the violations. as well as preventing
their spread, would be evolved,

today. An intimation was given that
no ruling would be made for at least
week.
While the hearing itself was con-
Quoted in u decorous manner, with
the attorneys for opposing sides
presenting their conflicting views
as thev would in a courtroom, a
stormy session developed in the cor
ridors outside the Attorney Gene
RAILS Office when it was announced
that the public would not be ad-
mitted. that newspaper representa-
tives would be excluded and only the
attorneys Of organizations which
had previously given notice Of their
intention to appear would be allow
ed TO make arguments.
1t was explained that there is NO
large room in the Department OF
Justice and that it would be impos-
sible to accommodate the represen-
tatives of the press and the public.
When it was pointed out by persons
from as far away as New York that
thew had come to Washington at
their own expense because the
hearing had been announced az a
public one. those waiting in the cor
ridors were told to 90 to see Mrs.
Williebrant, who had arranged the
hearings.
Finally it was arranged that the
attorneys of the organizations in

others for which no spokesmen had

That represents, according to ottic-
ial figures. q drop of approximately
100000 tons, or 20 per cent "s
compared with the supply prior 10
the railroad strike. Such a cut Is
of large Importance, since the sup,
plv is running short and the need
of moving coal to the Northwest IS
becoming more imperative each day.
The curtailment of supply seems
to be due entirely to the railroad
strike. In the mining districts the
tendency is TO reopen mines that
have been closed and to speed pro-
duction. Apparently there IS no
diminution in the supply OF labor,
The railroad strike, however, gradu-
ally slows down the transportation
and lessons the available
supply of cars. In that situation
the mines are helpless to supply
their full capcity.
An effort is understood to have
been made by Secretary OF Labor
Davis to settle some of the doubts
and end some of the attempted bar
gaining growing out Of the Presi-
dents proposals for settlement Of
the strike, but it IS not known whether
ne has made appreciabIe progress.
He called at the White House and

Fleet of $4,000 Motor Trucks
Ready to Handle
Mails
READY IN "a HOURS
Pacific Coast Conditions
Better-Few Trains An
nulled In South

Washington, July 14.-Postmaster-
General Work yesterday prepared a
letter to President Harding notifying
the Executive that a survey prepared
by all departments of the Government
showed that thoroughly organized
feet of $4,000 motor vehicles could be
mobilized within 81 hours should the
railway shopmen's strike further in
terfere with the movement of United
States mails.
The results of the survey were for
warded to the President as matter
of information; but there was no OIL
cial i. dication that use of motor trucks
to carry mail was being seriously con-
sidered. The prevailing belief IN
Washington was that should the Pres
ident'S warning against interference
with the mails be disregarded, strong
er measures were contemplated.
The Postoffice Department controls
about 10000 motor trucks and Post
master-Goneral Work was advised yes
terday that there were more than 49,
600 motor vehicles owned and con-
trolled by the various States, while
thousands cf others owned by the
War Department and used by the Ma
tional Guard in different States were
ayailabf..
The Bostmaster-General notified the
President that this vast fleet of motor
trucks could be set at work transports
ing the mails at short notice and that
the Governors of the different States
would be asked to arrange matters so
that every state-owned machine and
Government vehicle would be placed at
the command of the postal authorities
in the respective States.
