FIRST EMERGENCY
COAL BILL PASSED

seven negative votes recorded, the senate
late today passed the first of the erner-
gency coal bills, the house measure de-
signed to check profiteering and control
the distribution of coal The vote was
40 to z and measure as amended was
sent to conference for adjustment of diff
ferences with the house.
Passage of the profiteering bill was
followed Immediately by consideration of
the fact-finding commission measure but
final action on it was deferred by a sud-
den and at times heated debate over pro-
visions which would direct the commits
sion to study the question of national-
zation of the mines, along with other
phases Of the industry.
Before quitting for the day, the COM
mission bill was amended to direct the
agency to make parate and distinct
investigation of the anthracite industry
and to inquire into any organized rela-
tionship'' between miners and operators
If they exist. The change was direct
result of the recent settlement of the an
thracite tie up and Senator Borah, spon-
sor Of the bill in the senate, had pre-
viously withdrawn it from consideration
in order to await developments of the
anthracite peace negotiations.

FLACLER CASE IS
UNDER AMUSEMENT

Judge C. Moreno Jones of the court OF
record took the celebrated suit concern
ing the Henry M. FlagIer estate under
consideration after arguments by the
several attorneys which consumed the
greater part Of Thursday and will rem
der a decision later.
This case was the State Of Florida and
Escambia County VS.. the trustees under
the will Of the late Henry NJ. Flagler for
the recovery Of state and county taxes
due for the year 1920.
The case came up in argument on de-
murrer. The trustees OF the estate
were assessed for one-third OF the taxes
said to be due because one Of the trus-
tees, the late Hon. William Blount, was
a resident of Pensacola and Escambia
county The defendants held that the
laws of the state of Florida did not cover
this clause although such taxes might
be collected in some states.
The will was probated in st. john
county. Escambia county's share of the
taxes alleged to be due for 1920 would
amount to a sum exceeding 900.
The state and county were represented
by r. P. Reese and John P. Stokes while
Scott Loftin and Robert Anderson Of
Jacksonville handled the case for the
trustees After arguments and evidence
were presented Judge Jones took the case
under advisement.
