COAL DEALERS RENEW
PLEA FOR U. S. TRADE
D. c. Retailers Again to Ask
Abolition of Federal
Yards.

Washington's retail coal dealers are
preparing to appear again before
Secretary Work TO appeal for the
government coal business. Refused
in their original plea before the pres
ent Secretary of the Interior On the
ground that their proposal was eco
nomically not feasible, the dealers
are now drawing up a new petition
which they will present within two
weeks.
Seven local retail dealers have
grouped and bonded themselves to
furnish coal to the government at a
price which they claim will save the
government money over a five-year
period, and will release the govern
ment from the obligation of main
tanning the government fuel yards. at
present. operated by the Interior De-
partment.
Original Petition Quoted.
The original petition named a net
margin of 90 cents a ton on which the
retail dealers would furnish the coal
to the government, which, dealers
claimed. would bring about saving
OIL ABOUT 4 nliilOn uolidES over tiie
flve-year period.
Officials of the Interior Department
disagreed with the claims of dealers.
pointing out that inasmuch as the
government would have to check and
weigh all coal delivered to the de-
partments here, the cost would be
very much above the s2-cent margin
laid down by the dealers, and would
actually result in a loss over the five
year period of about half million
dollars.
Claim Observation-Disclosures.
The new petition, to be presented
through Roderick Stephens. an official
of the National Retail Coal Associa-
ton. will attempt to arrive at an un-
derstanding on the matter of deliV-
cred costs, which the dealers claim
was misunderstood in the original pc
tition turned down by the Interior De-
partment head

HUSBANDS APPEAL
IS DENIED BY COURT
Suit for Judgment on Property
After Divorce Dismissed on
Technicslity.

Charles w. Baker today lost his
peals to Sc. aside decree of the
District Supreme Court which had
dismissed his suit for all adjudica-
tion of. property rights against his
former wife, Ef1fe /. Baker. The ap-
pellatc court. in an opinion by Judge
James +. Smyth of the United States
Court of Customs Appeals, finds that
by dismissinS his original suit and
accepting an offer of Mrs. Baker to
pay him $4,000 and hire him for a
year at $40 per month the husband
lost his rights under the original suit
and was bound by the subsequent
agreement.
After the husbands suit had been
dismissed the wife declined to en-
ploy him and failed to pay the con-
sideration agreed on, it was testi-
fled. The court, however, points out
that the husband failed to show that
could not respond to a money judg-
ment.
The Bakers kept n hotel at Mar
tInSDuTS, W. ' d., anu ildu lHeiI
ey in IA joint bank account, from
which, it is stated. the wife made
Withdrawals without the knowledge
of the husband and invested in real
estate. In January, 1921, the court
was told the wife informed the hus-
band that she had obtained a divorce
from and drove him from the family
home. Baker then sued for an ad-
justment OF his property rights. but
"freely and voluntarily" accepted the
offer of employment and dismissed
the bill. When he sought to renew
the application to fthe court the wife
pleaded his former dismissal as a
bar and the court upheld her.

A Bit Of the Past
By Stars Former Carriers.

II was born and reared on the
bank Of the Potomac, at what is now
the foot Of 18th street southwest, and
my years of life are the same as
The Stars, namely, seventy-two,"
writes Henry J. Bradley, 4s6 F. street
southwest, now connected with the
Mount Vernon and Marshall, Hall
Steamboat Company.
Although / was not a regular
Star carrier, / often helped other
boys, friends of mine whe carried
routes. A copy of The Star has Been
in my home every day from 1852"
continues Mr.. Bradley. THE period
in which sold The Star began with
the first call of President Lincoln
for men to put down the rebellion,
Following the firing on Fort Sumter
and the seizure Of the old Long
Bridge by the northern troops.
Il sold steadily throughout the
war, my last sales being on the days
following the assassination of the
President On the day of<his death
sold steadily all day and well into
the night on Samuel Bacon's corner,
the southeast corner Of Pennsylvania
avenue and 7th. street ! had an
other boy bringing me edition after
edition of both The Star and the
National Intelligencer. My selling
points included the National Hotel
(then Tenney's). the Metropolitan
lBrown's), seaton House (John IL.
ington, fremont, st. Cloud, Kirk
wood, Willard, Owen and Ebbitt
Houses, w. z. Moses corner (now
Saks) and the Bank of Washington.
MY recollection is that the editor
OF the Star was Mr. Wallach (Mr.
Wallach was the owner, but its edi-
tor was the late Crosby S. Noyes).
One of my regular customers, was
the beautiful Kate Chase (later Kate
Chase Sprague), whose home was on
the northwest corner Of 9Th and E
streets, now the Eagles Home.
When we had special battle news
I visited the nearby camps and forts
with my papers thrown across the
back of some horse which was brand
ed "U. S. c." Omitted States, con-
demned). a number of which could
be found grazing almost anywhere
on the commons around the city.
When they fatrened up the Army

Especially do I remember the news
Of the capture of yicksburg, the fall
Of Richmond. the battles of Seven
Pines. Cold Harbor, Shiloh, Antietam,
first and second Bull Run (the' first
Bull Run battle was covered per
sonally by Mr.. Noyes, who got back
to town TO write his story along with
the first of the refugees), the fight
with Early's troops at Fort Stevens.
and, of course, Gettysburg. The Star
management was unable to supply
US boys with enough papers, eSpe
cially on the day after the death of
StoneWall Jackson.
II had the honor of Knowing
President Lincoln; was II playmate

EMBASSY BUILDING
TO COST $4,000
Italy to Begin Massive Struc-
ture When Bids Formally
Are Approved.

Work on the proposed new embassy
building for the italian government
here will be started by the end Of
TINS month, it was learned today
Everything is in readiness to begin
work, and Ambassador Caetani said
today that he only awaited approval
from Rome of the bids for the con-
struction work.
The structure is to be located or
the northwest corner Of 18th an6
Fuller streets, opposite the home
which Mrs. John B., Henderson ten
dered to the government as the Off
cial home Of the Vice President. IT
VIII take about twelve months to
complete it and another six months
to furnish it. and it is planned to
bring much of the furnishings from
italy, including d number of statues
from Rome. to be located in the
courtyard, which will be feature OF
the embassy.
VIII Be of Italian Design.
1t Will cost in the neighborhood OF
100000, Ambassador Caetani e1-
planned today, and will be Of italian
architecture. Consideration is being
given to the matter Of the materials
used in the structure. and if funds
will permit the ambassador is desir-
Gus of having it constructed Of ole
marble from Italy.
The building, in addition to provid-
ing for the chancery and the officials,
also will be q home for the ambassa-
dor. The decision to erect a home for
the Italian representatives here is Il
part of a general scheme for provid-
ing owned quarters for the Italian
representatives in the various coun-
tries of the world. A large loan ilaS
been arranged. covering a period Of
thirty years. and annual appropriations
are made to cover this loan. From this
fund the embassies are being erected.
Regarded as Economy.
It vas pointed out that the govern
ment has found that is is cheaper to
construct these buildings under a loan
over long period and have ar
owned home rather than to continue
TO pay for rented quarters in ali
parts of the world.
Ambassador Caetani said that lie
proposed to make the new embassy
a sort of Italian museum in this
country and he intended to do every
thing within the limit of the funds
provided to make it one of the most
beautiful buildings of the city. He
said that special attention would be
gwen to the italian courtyard and
that much Of the furnishings would
Dc imported from his country.

URGE POSTAL PAY RAISE.
Increase Advocated by New York
Democrats in Congress.

Wide disparity between salaries
paid in the postal service and wages
paid in private industry is one of the
principal causes of delay and irresu-
larity in the handling of mails, the
postal service committee of the
Chamber of Commerce OF the United
States declared in a statement last
night.
A sliding salary scale for postal
employees in localities where living
costs, are exceptionally high; a proper
building program for the relief OF
crowded post offices; separation of
the parcel post system from other
mail service classes, and creation of
a permanent planning division in the
Post Office Department are among
the recommendations the special com
Nlittee made.
The twenty-five democratic men,
bers of the New York delegation in
Congress yesterday declared in favor
of legislation for increases in sal
aries of postal employees, now pend
ing Their announcement followed
on the heels OF q statement from the
White House that President Coolidge.
while sympathizing with the desire
for bigger postal pay envelopes. op-
posed such an increase at present on
the ground of economy.

WOULD WITHDRAW NAME.
Michigan Johnston" Says He Is
Not Presidential Candidate.

SAGINAW, Mich, March 3.-Hiram
Johnston of Milwaukee,, Saginaw
county, does not want to be a can
didate for President of the United
States. He has SO declared in a letter
to Secretary of State Charles Deland
in which he asks that his name be
withdrawn as a candidate on the
republican ticket to be voted upon in
the Michigan presidential preference
primary election April z.
Johnston, al aged dirt farmer, was
placed in nomination by petitions
prepared by friends and neighborS
His name threatened to cause con-
siderable confusion in the minds of
voters because it is almost identical
with that of Hiram Johnson, United
States senator from California. an
avowed candidate who carried Mich
igan in the 1920 primary.
Johnston wrote that he has no
ambition to participate irr national
politics and expressed embarrassment
that his name should have been used
There is some question whether
the secretary of state is empowered
to remove the Milwaukee farmers
name. the time limit for Withdrawals
having expired Saturday. If John
ston'S letter was in the mails before
the expiration of the time limit, it is
believed that fact will be considered
in conformity with the law and per-
nit withdrawal.
