Boys See Hint of Treasure I'm
Notes Found I'm Stranded Boat

Cornelius Perrine and Jerome Welch,
boys who do odd jobs at the Sea Bright
Beach Club, Sea Bright, N. J., think
they uncovered buried treasure on the
beach yesterday, but they are not GER
tain enough of it to give up their Jobs
at the club.
They caught sight of foundered
rowboat in the surf, and when the tide
went out inspected the craft. 1t was
sixteenfoot boat of the kind used az
tenders on barges. The breakers had
filled the boat with sand to the levels
Of the seats.
1t looked like salvage lob to Cor
nelius and Jerome and they set to worl
with shovels to clear the boat of sand
The tide was setting in and thew wara
UP to their waists in water before thev
got enough sand out to float the fhoat
Then they noticed draggled bit of
paper. Cornelius picked It out Of a a
bailer full of sand and water which he
was about to throw out. When thev
got to shore the boys deciphered the

Motorist Arrested to
Test Traffic Card Law

The American Automobile Owners
Association thinks the new traffic ordi-
nance requiring motor-car owners to
carry warning cards with their photo
graphs on them is not so good. What
is more, it doesn't even believe it's
constitutional, and, since it has MEM
bership of some 100000 in the United
States, think it's attitude should carry
some weight.
The organization recognized that to
prove the ordinance unconstitutional it
had to bring the matter into court.
This in turn necessitated the arrest of
some one. The martyr to the cause
is Eugene A. Bofnger, a sign manu-
facturer, of 1910 Broadway.
Bofnger drove his car down to the
Criminal Courts Building yesterday
and then proceeded TO play a game of
merry-go-round with that seat of JUS
tice until Detective Bernard Flood, who
was in on the game, stopped him.
Bofinger admitted that he had no card
and was taken before Magistrate Nc
Geehan in Tombs Court, charged with
violation Of the new traffic ordinance
He was promptly paroled for examina-
tion to-day.
William B. Brice, of 100 Broadway,
and H. K. Naples, field secretary of
the owners organizations appeared as
counsel for Bofinger, and declared that
IN the event of an adverse decision by
'sle magistrate they would take the
sase to the higher courts.
Inc autom obile owners body main
tains that the new ordinance conflicts
with the state laws, which forbid local
licensing

McCray Considers Coal
Payley Of Six Governors
You'd Encyude Operators and
Men; Strikers Demand He Be
FrepencIaed for Using Troops

@"cciNt Dispatch TO The Tribune
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 9. - Governor
McCray said to-day he would call a
conference of governors of six coal
producing states with officials of the
United Mine Workers of America and
the National Coal Association if the
conference of operators and miners at
Cleveland this week did not make prog
ress toward settling the coal strike
The Governor believes it is time for
beth sides in the controversy to yield
some points.
The Impeachment of Governor Nc
Cray for sending troops TO the coal
field was called for by mass meeting
of union railroad workers and miners
here this afternoon.
"In the event that there is no cor
crete or decisive result from the Cleve-
land meeting" the Governor said, ~
propose to call at some central point
conference of the governors of Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan
and Indiana with the officers of both
the National Coal Association and the
United Mine Workers of America.
"The situation grows more desperate
daily, and I firmly believe that a con-
ference between the executives of these
producing states and those respon-
sible for coal production will be pro-
ductive of results that may terminate
tho strike.
"The time has come when public in
terests demand that each side yield
some points in order to reach a settle

Coal Aid Promised
Pennsylvania and
Michigan by U. s.
Spencer and State Boards
Arrange Cooperation as
Lake Shipments Speed
Up; Car Loadings Increase

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-Ground-
work for cooperation between state
emergency fuel organizations and the
Federal Central Coal Distribution Com
mittee was begun to-day at confer
enccs between Fuel Distributor
Spencer and the state coal committees
of Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Arrangements were made with the
Michigan committee, Mr.. Spencer said,
for caring for the fuel needs of that
state by means OF orders for coal pass
ing through the central committee,
while efforts to relieve the Great
Lakes situation are already under way,
the beginning having been made with
weekly shinments Of 100000 tons of
coal.
1t was decid to postpone the ques-
ton of fixing price for coal mined
in Pennsylvania until Friday, when q
committee of the operators is TO meet
with the state fuel committee in Phil
adelphia.
Special priority orders for the ship
ment of fuel to railroads whose coal
supplies are running dangerously low
were under consideration by Mr..
Spencer and the central coal COM
mittee.
Particularly acute fuel situations
were reported to the committee from
railroads in Michigan and lines run
ming out of Chicago into Illinois and
Southwestern lines out of ST. Louis.
The question Of diversion Of coal
under contract to railroad uses was
discussed by the committee and the
opinion expressed that under existing
laws dealers could not be held on their
contracts in cases where they diverted
coal to carriers upon instructions from
the emergency coal control crganiza-
tion.
Mechanical conditions on some OF the
lines running out of the producing
coal fields. especially the Chesapeake
G. Ohio and the Norfolk & Western,
were reported to be improving, and ad-
ditional mechanics were said to have
been put to work upon the Virginian
Railway.

Operators In. Illinois
Preparing TO Mine Coal
spectol Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, Aug. 9-The Illinois Coal
Operators Association to-day refused
second invitation Of John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers
OF America. TO participate in the four
state conference at Cleveland. The
nifty operators, gathered from all parts
OF the state, adjourned until THURSDAY
without action.
That some sort of settlement in
the Illinois fields is expected within
the next few days, however. is indi-
Gated by spreading activities in various
mining districts looking to the re-
opening Of the pts. Although DR..
+. Z Honnold, secretary of the Coal
operators Organization, denied that
these activities can be construed as
meaning an early settlement, the signs
are regarded as too significant to be
overlooked.
In Saline County mules were being
brought in from pasture and let down
into the mines for the first time since
the strike started on April l. In Will
hanson County, where there are fifty
four mines, all mules have been or
dered brought IN from pasture.
john Vaughn. vicepresident of the
miners in Saline, White and Gallatin
counties, was quoted in dispatches as
saying:
"The mines probably will be produc-
Ing coal on large scale within few
days. The miners are in need and the
operators appear to be getting tired of
having their mines idle All we want
are fair wages and working conditions,
and indications are that everything
will be settled shortly to the satisfac-
tion of all"

whether their discovery of the two

Peace Conference In Joliet

JOLIET, Ill, Aug. s.--All local mem
bers of the "Big Four" train service
brotherhoods on ali railroads touching
Joliet threaten TO walk out tomorrow,
brotherhood officials said tonight, in
joint protest with the 1900 engineers,
hremen, conductors, brakemen and
maintenance of way men who quit the
Elgin, Joliet g. Eastern Railroad here
last night. The men insist that the
use of armed guards in the railroad
yards endangers their lives. Hope Of
avoiding an extension Of the cessation
of work by all the brotherhood men
centers in conference of road and
union officials to be held tomorrow.
This was arranged after all day efforts
to-day by the rail heads to draw the
brotherhood leaders into conference.
While both sides were silent oH-
cially, it was learned that the brother
hoods will insist upon removal of armed
guards from the yards as a concession
in any steps toward resumption of
service on the E., J. & E. AS this is
regarded as not likely to be conceded,
Joliet looks for spread Of the walk
out to all local crews Of railroads en-
tering this city. This would result in
a general paralysis of industries in this

A PUBLIC SERVICE OF VITAL

Not in half a century has there been
a greater demonstration of the worth
of the home town newspaper to the
people of America than came in the
article dealing with public exploitation
written by Edward Percy Howard,
whoce special articles reach this news
paper through our exclusive franchise
for the Publishers Autocaster Service.
Mr.. Howard dragged into the sun
light the United States government re-
port, and showed that the big city

folk so foolishly look for bargains
are buying articles abroad, and selling
them to their deluded customers at
prices up to two thousand five hun

ed cost in America. freight. insurance.

were sold for 80 cents; kid gloves
bought for less than 2S cents sold to
women at 50 a pair; clocks bought for
six cents are selling for 50. and so on
through more than a hundred articles
in common use.
Not one line of this wild exploita-
ton of the American housewife has
appeared to date in any metropolitan
newspaper so far as we know.
Glittering generalities. a railing ag-
