Augusta who said that he had en-
ployed young McCauley at his restau-
rant in Augusta and that McCauley
/ had been a faithful and honest work.

He advised McCauley to avoid the
companionship of the. Samuels and
their wives and to conduct himself
so he would merit the approval ct
his mother, for whom Judge Beane
said that he had a great deal of re-
spect. He also advised McCauley for
his own interests to quit the fighting
game and to do some other kind OF
work. There is nothing in it for YOU

Attorney Maher called the courts
attention to the fact that the date
Of the alleged larceny was Nov. 16,
1921, but that no warrant was
sworn out until Jan. 10, 1922-that
II there was a larceny there was no
time that Samuels or his house

Maher argued that the length of time
! which elapsed from the date Of the

out the warrant was evidence of a
lack Of good faith on the part Of the
complainant In making the accuse

time to throw doubt as to the bona

CUT COAL SUPPLY HERE.
Dealers Say Anthracite Prices
Must Be Increased. ~

Coal operators have cut down the
Washington .dealers to 60 per cent OF
their usual supply of hard coal, 1t
was announced by prominent local
dealers today. and some operators
and brokers have so raised the price
Of coal at the mines that IT will be
necessary to retail anthracite stove
coal In Washington at about SIS to
$1575 ton.
One large coal company in Penn
sylvania, 1t was explained. had estab-.
lished a price of $500 at the mine.
to- which would be added freight
charges. the Pennsylvania tax and the
dealers Margin II was reported by
one dealer here who showed his let
ter giving the nrice. But there were
other companies. he said. from which
dealers here are forced to buy. which
have raised the price of hard coal at
the mine to $3.50. One broker. whose
letter was exhibited today as evil
dence. asked $3.50 at the mine. with
no guarantee of delivery at that
price.
Local. dealers :are therefore faced
with the situation of having to buy
at much advanced prices from op-
era tors. they contend. and must thus
raise their prices to at least SIS to
$15.75 IN order to meet the Increased
cost. The freight charge from the
anthracite region to Washington is

DEALERS PREDICT
FAIR COAL PRICE:
Declare Scales in D. c. to Be
Lower Than in Other
American Cities.
Difference IN WEIGHTS
New York Said to Count 1900
Pounds and Washington 2,240
in Sales by Ton.

Z,
Washingtonians will be able to
purchase coal this winter at rates
that, when analyzed. will prove
lower than those in vogue in any
other city in the United States.
This Is the consensus of opinion
among the wholesale and retail coal
dealers Of the National Capital. who
dealers in Washington accept a
smaller margin Of profit than their
brother operators in other cities.
Attention OF the local dealers was
called today to the announcement
one of the largest dealers In the coun-
try, in circular letters, that egg. stove
and nut coal would be delivered in mod
crate amounts in Brooklyn at $l3.25
ton. This company also quotes pea coal
at s1o.15
AS these New York prices are from
SO to 50 lower than the prices being
obtained in Washington at this time
for the same grades of coal. an eS-
PLANTATION was requested from the
reality, the price Of s13.26 for a ton
of egg or stove coal in New York is
Identical with one Of $1,000 here and
that the same is true of the price OF
pea coal which is quoted by the
Burns Brothers at $10.75 while it Is
selling in Washington on an average
Of $12 the ton. --f
Different Ton Weights.
Two reasons are given for this
in New York the prices are for a
net ton of 1000 pounds of coal. while
| in Washington the prices are quoted
on long ton of 2.24o pounds. which
| is 10 per cent more than the net ton
and therefore. ~ per cent should be
account if comparison is to be made,
the dealers say. The other reason,
! which makes UP the remaining d't
ference OF approximately dollar ao =.
vanced by the local coal men is that
! they are compelled to pay sS.2s a. ton
| freight from the mines. while the
| New York firms have. to pay only IN
| the neighborhood of $2.2e.
AS an addition Of s15s to the s13.s5
price for stove coal in New York on
| account of the difference in the guam
| tity of coal delivered in Washington
and the other addition of 81 increased
| freight rate per-ton which is levied on
local coal dealers. bring the New York
price up to the present Washington
price, the explanations of the dealers
| here must be well taken by thought

and increased freight rate per ton
| is added to each Of the other prices
| for various grades of coal as offer ed
| by the Burns Brothers in New York
| the prices in Washington are found,
dealers say. cheaper, in every in
! stance.

/ w. w Griffith. one Of the dealers
! interviewed, declared that he was
| working at present on his scale Of
prices for the winter and that he felt
! certain they would prove as low as.
and lower than, those in vogue in

He reiterated the claim made BY other
