DENIES PART IN
HARD COAL
PLOT
Madeira, Hill & Co. Also Con-
tests Jurisdiction of Trade
Commission.
By international News Service.


Specific denial that it had en-.
tered into q secret agreement with
certain wholesale coal dealers to
enhance the price of coal beyond
that recommended by the fair prac-
tices committee of Pennsylvania
during the recent anthracite strike
as charged by the Federal Trade
Commission, was made yesterday to
the commission by MADEIRA, Hill 4
Co., operating certain mines in
pennsylvania. This firm was one
OF six defendants named by the
commission, the other five being
wholesale dealers.
While admitting the fair prac-
tees committee had recommended
that price. Of $1,000 per ton at the
mines for prepared sizes Of an
thracite would be a fair price, the
firm denied it gave any assurance
10 the committee that 1t would OBJ
serve such a price and also denied
That 1t was under any obligation
to observe such prices.
The total amount of tonnage in
VOWED in the sales to the defendant
wholesalers amounted to 2,783 tons,
the firm stated.
Such sales were so trifling in
comparison with the total anthra-
cite production, that they could not
possibly have enhanced or affected
the price of coal to the consuming
public" the firms denial stated.
Denying the Federal Trade Com
mission has any jurisdiction over
the matter of billing any sales
made by it, Madeira, Hill & Com
pany informed the commission
that for some months, prior to
the flling of the complaint. all of
Its sales had been billed, and now
are being billed at the prices at
which the coal is sold.''
The case will be heard by the
commission on December 8.

Mayor Defeated At
Polls, Found Dead
From Bullet
International News Service.

YONKERS, N. Y, Nov. 22.
Mayor Walter M. Taussig,
found shot yesterday in garage
back of his home here, died a
few hours later, without re-
gaining consciousness. A re-
volver lay close to the body.
The authorities asserted their
belief that the bullet was self
inflicted. Dependency over his
recent defeat for reelection
was regarded as a possible
motive. It was also said that
he had recently incurred finan-
cial losses.
Taussig was a brother OF
Frank w. Taussig, noted po-
lltical economist and former
chairman of the United States
tariff commission, and of Henry
Lee Taussig, a professor OF
Harvard University.
Mayor Taussig was vice pres
ident of the American Chain
Company and was interested IN
other industrial enterprises.

VETS SEEKING
POSITIONS
In D. c. Alone 375 Are Train
ing for Business and Pro-
fessionaI Pursuits.

Washington business men who are
anxious to help disabled World War
veterans should visit any one OF
the business organization headquar-
tiers in the city where they will find
a tabulated list of 375 young men
who are under training in this city
for positions in commercial, profess
sional and trade fields in an effort
to re-estabIish themselves in the
world.
The information is contained in a
voluminous book entitled "Rehabili-
tated Ex-Service Men, Candidates for
Employment" which has been COM
piled under the direction of Director
Frank T. Hines and is being dis
tributed to chambers of commerce
and boards Of trade throughout the
United States. It shows that in all
there are 80, $50 veterans in training
under the rehabilitation division
throughout the United States.
Local Situation.
The list Of the local candidates for
employment show that thirty-one are
endeavoring to qualify in the agri-
cultural field, sixty-seven in CONNER
cial fields, fifty-three for professional
positions and 224 in various trades
and industries.
j. C. F. Palmer, with offices in
the Arlington building, in charge Of
the local sub-district, Is ready to
give Washington business men any
information they may desire in re-
gard to the District candidates for
employment.
THE national Government is con-
fident," Director Hines states, 'that
industry will do it's full part when it
fully realizes what the proposition
is"
Most Candidates Normal.
Point is made that the great ma
jority of the ex-soldier candidates
for employment are normal in ap-
pearance, normal IN ability and
normal in their manly desire to br
self-sustaining and to make a sue
cess of their lives, for the sake of
themselves, their dependents and
their fellow men in general
In order to make it possible for
these men to go to the places where
employment awaits them and in or.
der to make them available to the
employer, the Government pays
transportation when it is established
that a bona fide opportunity awaits
them at their destination.

PRIEST WILL HALT
GUN N EN- S FEUD
Clergyman Acts AS Cops Fail
Dispute Arose Over Political
Argument

ST. LOUIS, March ia mild
hammered priest mere has undertaken
as one Of his parish duties the break.
ing up of desperate revolver wal
between two rival groups of gang
sters which already has cost more
than 80 lives.
The priest is the Rev. Timothy
Dempsey, pastor of St Patrick's
church. The two gangs are the
Rat" and the "JeIly-RolI.s" Father
Dempsey once led them by peaceable
persuasion to sign an armistice and
now, he says, he'll do it again.
The original dispute started over 2
political argument and was given
impetus by an alteration between a
Rat" and "Jelly-Roll' as to how
many aces should be found in a
deck of cards
Later bank robberies, train hold
ups and safe blowings, in which
profits were unfairly divided, height
ened the animosity.
A climax was reached two wears
ago when William T. Eagan. Rat
leader, was shot and killed.
4HeH lIic pendulum swung back
and forth until The gang annals of
st. Louis were nothing more than a
double-entry ledger kept by death
with the blood of the "Jelly-Rolls" on
one side and the Rats" on the
other.
Then Father Dempsey arranged
for meeting between the gangsters.
ke was highly respected by all
classes. Even the gunner admired
HIM
The priest pledged the gunner tc
lay aside their gats and forget the
feud. They agreed. They kept their
promise until Abe Goldfeder, Jelly
Roll" adherent, was shot and
wounded
Then came reprisals and the feud
was on again, even more bitter than
before. The latest outrage was the
murder in broad daylight of jacob
Mackler, an attorney who had de
Tended members Of the Jelly Rolls.
Apparently in retaliation Little

the Rats" was shot dead as he lay

sleeping.
In none of these killings has there
been any prosecution. The police
are unable to get witnesses and the
gang code of an eye for an eye and
a tooth for a tooth leads gangsters
to avoid the law and settle their own
disputes with their revolvers, outside
of court.
SO father Dempsey is starting all
over again. He is making the
rounds of the rendezvous Of the ad-
herents of both camps and attempt
ing to get them again to lay down
their weapons.
q know all of the gang members,
and l need only ask them to see me
and they will come says Father
Dempsey. "They have faith in me
and will do as l say
