GRAHAM ASLEADER
Also Will Back Madden for
Committee on Committees,
Vice Mann.

Unanimous decision by the repub-
lican members of the House from
Illinois to support Representative
William ]. Graham from the four
teenth Illinois district for floor leader
in the new Congress, to succeed
Representative Frank w. Mondell. Is
said to have been reached at con-
ference last night.
Representative Graham is lawyer
and is serving his third term. He is
a member OF the commerce committee
and was chairman of the special
House committee which investigated
various phases of war activities.
Decision of the Illinois group to sup
port Mr.. Graham makes night for the
republican floor leadership probable. as
the names of Representatives Long
worth, Ohio, and Anderson. Minnesota,
also have been mentioned. Republican
leaders said tonight they were certain
Mr.. Longworth would be a candidate,
and that the name of Mr.: Anderson
undoubtedly would be put forward by
his friends.
The present republican leader. Rep
resentative Mondell, Wyoming, will not
be a member of the new House. He
did not stand for reelection last fall.
Instead he entered the senatorial con-
test in Wyoming, losing to Senator
Kendrick, democrat.
In addition to pledging its support
to Mr.. Graham, the Illinois republican
delegation last night selected Chairman
Madden OF the appropriations commit
tee, who represents the first Illinois
district. to succeed the late Represen-
tative Mann as the Illinois member OF
the republican committee on commit
tees.

OFFICERS BUY COAL
AT $12D PER TON
Army, Navy and Marine Men
Save by Purchasing at
Government Fuel Yard.

Six hundred domestic consumers OF
anthracite coal-all connected In an
official capacity with the Army, Navy
cite this winter at prices averaging
from 81 to 81 per ton less than the
less fortunate general consuming
public. The more fortunate coal pur-
chasers, buying from the quartermas-
ter corps of their respective branch
of the service, which in turn purchases
from the government fuel yard OF the
bureau Of mines. can obtain anthra-
cite for immediate delivery at prices
ranging from $12.20 to $12.5o, depend
ing upon the size of coal.
Nut and stove coal-the two most
popular sizes-is selling today to
service officers, through the Quarter
master Corps, at $3.50, while egg
coal is quoted at $12.40 and furnace
coal at $12.20.
The government fuel yard. while 1t
has not facilities for purchasing coal
from the mine at a cheaper rate than
any retail dealer, has a much smaller
overhead charge and delivery rate
nearly half that charged by retailers
here.
Here is how the situation sizes up:
Coal selling at 1925 at the mines Will
sell from the government fuel yards
at SEAS, taking into account the
various factors that make the price
at the yards. while the same coal.
selling at the mines at $8.25, would
cost STATS from retailers. The freight
rate on ton Of anthracite to Wash
ington is $3.28, but the fuel yard over
head charge is but "a cents, against a
general overhead charge OF about
$3.50 for private retailers here. De-
livery charges from the fuel yards to
consumers bins total SO cents. while
the usual charge from retailers yards
to domestic bins is as cents.

D. c. DELEGATE BILL
ACTION IS BLOCH ED
Gilbert Objects to Considera-
ton When Only 7 of Com
n mittee Are Present.

Effort 70 secure favorable report
in the House District committee to-
day on what is commonly known as
the District delegate bill failed when
Representative Gilbert of Kentucky
advised that this was too important
a matter to be damned through with
only seven out of twenty-one MEM
bers of the committee present.
A delegation claiming to represent
the civic organizations interested In
the passage of this measure appear
ed before the committee, which had
met for the particular purpose or
considering the proposed new in
surance code for the District
BIanton Favors Bill.
Representative Blanton of Texas
made a motion that the Dill pc
favorably reported. Representative
Gilbert said that he was not familiar
with the provisions of this Legislation
and he believed many others would
like to give the subject closer study
before action is taken. He objected
70 immediate action on the ground
that only seven of the tWenty-one
members on the committee were In
attendance.
REPRESENTATIVE Blanton withdrew
his motion and the District delegate
bill was made the order or special
business when hearings are resumed

District delegate bill included Col.
Winfield Jones. president of the ma
tional press committee for District OF
Columbia suffrage; William Mckinley
Clayton, chairman of the legislative
committee of the District Delegate
Nicholson
who said he spoke for the foreign
population Aaron Bradshaw. chair
man of the republican central COM
mittee, and Mrs. George A. Kicker,
chairman of the suffrage committee,
District League Of Woman Voters.
Would Give 1T Trial.
Mr.. Clayton said that while this
with the present organization in the
District it could be authorized by
Congress and he advocated giving 1t
a trial.
He said that if 1t did not work sat
fsfactortly Congress could revoke the
authorization, while if the joint reso-
luton for a constitutional amend
ment giving full voting representa-
ton in Congress to the residents of
the Ntional Capital was submitted
TO the states and approved, Congress
would not be able to change it.
Mr.. Clayton reviewed the history of
effort in the National Capital to
secure representation.
Representative Blanton said that
he believed there is good chance to
pass the District delegate bill at this
session If the committee will act
upon it at once. He expressed the
belief that there is probably no mem
Der of Congress who would deny any
people the right of representation.
He argued that members of Congress
have studied the question thorough
ly. understand it. and are willing to
act promptly.

SOFT COAL SMOKE
BL0TSD. SKYLINE
Authorities Hesitate to En-
force Law on Account of
Fuel Situation.

Thick columns OF black smoke are
plotting Washington's skyline this
winter, because, coal dealers say, the
soft coal of higher volatile conten;
than this city usually receives.
Realizing that conditions are alb
normal this winter as a result of the
coal strike, District authorities have
let up somewhat in the enforcement
Of the smoke law.
Health Officer Fowler stated today,
however, that some buildings are
emitting, smoke to such an extent
that he has warned them 20 exercise
greater care in stocking the furnaces.
walter {. Allen, executive secretary
70 the Public Utilities Commission, said
today the commission has no recent
data on soft coal shipments or the
kinds or bituminous fuel coming to
washington. He explained that the
commission some time ago relinquish-
ed supervision over soft coal and Is
now combining it's efforts entirely to
the distribution of anthracite.
A man affiliated closely with the
local coal industry said most of the
soft coal being purchased by Wash
tngton dealers this winter Is as high
in burning quality as the New River
coal which usually comes to this mar
ket' but makes more smoke than the
New River brand.
The District, he said, probably could
get more OF the bituminous that is
low In smoke content, but at higher
prices than Washington consumers
are accustomed to paying for soft
coal.
Another reason why commercial
consumers are getting the smoky coal
is that dealers are giving the soft
coal low in smoke content to house
holders who are unable to get their
full requirements in hard coal. he
continued.
1t is said the New River soft coal is
finding new market this year IN
western cities, which has contributed
toward making it scarce and higher
in the east
There is little prospect. dealers saw.
of this feature of the soft coal situs .
ton improving during the balanse of

TROOPS AT LAST MEET
OF AMERICAN HOUNDS
Imposing Farewell to q. S. Sol
diers at Coblenz Prior to
Home Journey.

BY the Associated Press
COBLENZ, January 15.-The last
meet of the American hounds yester-
day was one OF the most imposing of
the farewell celebrations arranged in
honor of the departing Americans.
The field was led by Maj. Gen. Allen,
who was followed by a hundred
huntsmen, including Malcolm A.
Robertson, the British Rhineland
commissioner, and other representa-
tives of the allied forces in the occu-
pied zone.
Many OF the horses ridden in the
hunt were from the crack American
stable, which will be auctioned off be-
fore the Americans leave for home.
The pack of thirty hounds, some OF
which were bred in Kentucky and
other southern states, is of such
quality that an effort will be made to
transport 1t to the United States.
The hunt was followed by a lunch
con and the rest of the afternoon
was given over to singing old Ameri-
can songs, hunting ballads and the
marching tunes made famous by the
American expeditionary forces.
