NEW YORK, Jan. 25. Omitted
Press) .-"s "seventy-hve per cent OF

The rest are a menace. trying 20

As the "Sheik" talked he saun-

could beat his secretary 10 the in
strument. Every once in a while he
remembered that he was giving an
interview. This annoyed him but he
continued.

good pictures they are forced 20
sign up with one OF tho trusts for
their entire yearly output over so
pictures. From 25 to 80 OF these
pictures are absolutely unusable.
However. the trusts play the cash
register and that Is all they worry
about.

COAL PILES UP
ON STORMY DAY

While the stocks OF anthracite IN
the yards OF the city today were
somewhat heavier than for several
days past. dealers explained that il
was due not so much TO increased
receipts as to refusal of numbers OF
employees to make deliveries during
the storm yesterday.
Reports that increases In prices
of soft coal are likely as result of
rises made at the mines were not
taken seriously in coal circles. Now
that the danger OF strike in the
soft coal regions has been obviated
by the signing of an agreement by
operators and workers, it is the gem
eral belief that prices are likely to
fall rather than rise.
One large operator has declared
that IL the railroads will provide
proper transportation facilities, soft
coal will shortly become one of the
cheapest commodities relatively on
the market.

DIPLOMATS TO KEEP
A CHECK ON SUPPLY

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25 Omitted
Press) .-Th prohibition bureau
has protested TO the Treasury De-
partment against alleged excessive
importations Of liquor by ono lega-
tion here. II was learned at the
Treasury Department today.
The prohibition bureau is said 10
have called the State Departments
attention 10 the magnitude OF one
Of the legations orders and the
small size of the legations stan. The
order was said 20 have been for
nearly 1000 cases and was filled
just before Christmas.
Steps are being taken by several
embassies and legations here to cut
down their quotas OF imported Ii
quors as the result OF police and
prohibition bureau revelations that
fashionable bootleggers are obtain
ing their supplies from diplomatic
quarters"
Several ambassadors and minis
ters have ordered a close check on
their supply. have directed that
smaller quotas be ordered IN the
future. and that investigations be
made as TO whether the liquors are
leaking out into the hands of the
bootleggers.
Several OF the diplomatic resi-
dences here are frankly scared at
the activities OF the prohibition
agents. They are informing the
State Department OF their desire TO
cooperate with the American gov
ernment enforcing this law.
As a result Of the arrest OF one
bootlegger who claimed to have OBJ
ta!ned part of his supply from SER
wants at the Cuban legation. the
State Department may warn the
diplomats that a closer check must
be kept on their supplies. All their
liquors now must be obtained on
permits from the state Department
and the amounts asked will be
scrutinized more closely in the
future. The Cuban charge d'affairs
has informed the department that he
had no knowledge Of the report that
the legation servants were supplying
bootleggers and an investigation has
been ordered.
No action shutting or the supply
OF the diplomats is probable.
