is keeping tabs from the seclusion of
the summer White House, as oUtlln-
ed show ed that he favors repeal of
the ublicity provision of the tax law,
believes the shipping board must put
an end to friction among its members
and is still determined to take no
hand in the shutdown which becomes
effective September 10.
Mr.. Coolidge is holding himself in
readiness to return to Washington
any time after Labor Day, has 10
speeches in contemplation aside from
the one he will deliver October 6 at
the American Legion convention in
Omaha, has not present intention OF
makig a trip to the Pacific coast prior
to the congressional election of 1925
and has given no thought to returning
here next summer for vacation.
Making. public of income tax re-
turns as was done today by internal
revenue collectors in compliance with
law, has the effect, President Coolidge
believes, of interfering with the col
lection of revenue. 1t was indicated
that in December he would renew his
recommendation to congress for re-
peal of the publicity requirement.
Dissenson in the shipping board
and between some of its members
and President Palmer of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corp, is in the presi
dents opinion due to the failure of
some commissioners to follow the
spirit of the merchant marine act.
Indications were given that he will
make a determined effort to restore
harmony but no inkling was given as
to what action if any he will take
with reference to Commissioner Ha-
tfrr, N
statement was made on behalf of
the president that he believes Mr..
Haney after thinking the matter
over will conclude that he should
for the good of the public service
retire from the board.
With reference to the anthracite
situation it was reiterated that the
administration intends to confine its
activity to providing the public with
an adequate fuel supply and believes
that this can be at fair prices I'M
less an unwarranted panic results in
abnormal buying.

Hard Coal Price
Same as Last Year

- One of the coal dealers, handling
thousands of tons of fuel each year.
in an interview with the Kennebec
Journal on Tuesday, stated that the
price on anthracite coal in this city
this year would be the same as last
winter, $3.50 per ton. The strike
of the miners has not occasioned any
increase in this section and it is be-
lieved that the local dealers have
an adequate supply to meet the nor

GREECE'S MOVE FALSE.

that both Greece and Bulgaria are
members of the League of Nations,
and it was contended that If Greece
has actually demanded an indemnity
Of 2 100000 French francs. an apology
and punishment for the Bulgarian Of
ticers responsible for the attack, and
set a time limit of 48 hours for full
flllment of these conditions, she has
made a false move.

garian regular troops took part in
the fighting this would give the Incl
dent a more dangerous aspect than
if the troublesome irregulars. known
as "Comitadjis" alone We're con-
cerned.
The affair is viewed in some quar-
ters here as q renewal of the old
struggle between the Serbs, Greeks
and Bulgarians for Macedonia and
as showing that Greece is afraid of
a Macedonian movement engineered
from the Bulgarian side.
British official quarters are under
stood not to be unduly apprehensive
over the Greco bulgarian situation,
on the ground that reports from
both capitals indicate that the two
governments are trying to effect a
compromise.

ably will not interfere in the ques-
