to make her way without dependence
upon the fame or fortune of her
father, Harold Mccormick, chairman
of the board of the International Har-
vester Company, or her famous grand
father.
Her declaration of independence,
however, related more specifically to

terprise She announced she expect
ed to spend part of every day at her
shop, and devote the rest of her time
to her musical education.

HARD COAL NOW ON WAY
FOR D. c. HOUSEHOLDERS

Although local coal dealers have
not received any hard coal of house
hold sizes since the anthracite miners
went to work last Monday. the first
shipments are believed to be on the
rails, dealers said to day
One Of the largest coal merchants
in the city expressed the belief today
that even though the anthracite
mines are now going at full blast it
still will be necessary for some
Washington homes to use soft coal
this winter
While thfs dealer expects Washing
ton to fare as we'll as any other east
ern city in it's receipts of hard coal,
he pointed out that the anthracite
mines cannot hope to make up en-
tirely the time lost during the sum-
mer months.
Pea coal is continuing to arrive reg
ularly. and is being taken by house
holders in preference to soft coal.
During the past few days the Public
Utilities Commission has taken on
four new employees to handle the rec
ords of fuel distribution, which is re-
garded as an indication that the COM
mission will continue to control the
sale of coal throughout the winter.
The commissions rule of requiring
dealers to deliver not more than a
sixty-day supply of hard coal to a
householder at one time will, coal
dealers feel, aid them in distributing
coal fairly as 1t arrives,

FARMER HANGS SELF,
Dependent Over Discovery of Still
on His Place.

Despondent over the discovery Of
an Illicit still on his farm. near
Farr, Fairfax county, Va, Thomas
Lester. fifty-five years old. ended his
life Thursday by hanging. His body
was found yesterday when a county
officer visited his farm to summon
him to appear before the grand jury.
1t appears that Lester recently
qualified as bondsman for William
Garner, a friend, who was charged
with a trivial offense. Garner, it is
stated. failed to appear for trial and
the bond was forfeited.
Following the forfeiture of the
bond. i, is stated, prohibition en-
forcement officers found the still on
the Lester farm, and it was suspected
that an acquaintance of the farmer
had started in the moonshine bust
ness without the latter's knowledge.
, Lester became worried Friends
were satisfied he had no connection
with the still, however, but the
farmer brooded over the affair and
ended his life. 1t Is said the rope
he used broke. but the shock of the
fall was great enough to cause his
death.

PLAN FOR SUPPLIES
OF COAL TO HOMES
Officials in Conference Also
Propose to Keep Indus
tries in Fuel.

Representatives of large industries
including railroads, comforting yester-
, day at the Commerce Department
decision to organize voluntary cam
ps.igns to assure complete supplies
of bituminous coal TO househoiders
and to industry.
The three major purposes of the
movement to meet the coal situation
were outlined in a statement issued
after the conference as follows:
ITO induce manufacturers. utility
corporations. and buyers generally
not to purchase coal beyond their
day-to-day needs until the flow OF
coal becomes more normal.
ITO persuade holders of coal con-
racts not to call for delivery on these
contracts past their day-to-day needs.
Ito expedite the movement OF coal
in every possible way.
Special Committees to Act.
Sreoial committees are to be organ
lied under the supervision of the
United States Chamber of Commerce.
it was stated, to advance these pur-
pos $. and cooperation of responsible
coal operators will be sought
Competitive bidding cannot govern
distribution of coal TINS winter. Sec
retary Hoover declared. in an address
opening the conference.
in every situation such as this"
he said. there are social considera-
tions' which absolutely override the
economic The government cannot
permit the distribution of coal this
winter on d highest-bidder basis.
That condition during the present
emergency is an impossible social
conception"
1t was most desirable, Secretary
Hoover declared. that readjustments
in prices and distribution take place
by the natural means of increased
supply and the holding down of con-
sumption pending such increase, but.
he added. protection for the public
must come by one means or another.
Cites Enabling Legislation.
Legislation now pending before Con-
greSs, the Secretary said. would give
the government power over shipments
of high priced coal in interstate COM
merce, but the federal government
would expect no constitutional au-
thority over coal produced and sold
within a state or over speculation in
interstate coal once it had reached
its destination.
Discussion of coal movement by the
conference gave rise to the view that
more mobility would be obtained if
the existing priorities should be .e-
Taxed and priority parallel with agri-
cultural produce should be given to
the movement of all coal without dis
elimination s to conSignees and that
all reconsignment rights upon coal
should be abolished in order to pre-
vent speculation in fuel.

RESTORED TO MAIL SERVICE.

The President has authorized the

Mr.. Fisher was appointed to a posi-
tion in the railway mail service April
90, 1904, and served continuously
therein until February 21. 1915. when
he was removed. His reinstatement
was recommended by the Postmaster
General, who believed Mr.. Fisher had
been sufficiently punished for any
derelictions of which he may have
been guilty.
