CITY DEPARTMENTS
 BUNCH COAL ORDERS
Nearly 5,o0O Tons to Be pur-
 chased Of One Dealer

Almost 5000 tons of coal will be purchased at one time and from one dealer this year. according to a de- cision of the committee on printing and supplies which met in the of- flee of Mayor Paonessa last evening.
 The committee decided that it would be possible to save some money by placing the entire'order in the hands of one dealer, father than to distribute 1t among several. Heads Of the city departments were pres ont and took part in the discussion.
 The committee will advertise for bids early next week, but will re- serve the right to accept or reject all bids. Bids must be in by April 10 and will be opened and considered by the committee as a whole.
 There will be required 2,090 tons Of anthracite and 2.6o0 tons of soft coal. This will provide coal for the police. fire and school departments, municipal garage and City hall.
 Because of the fact that some de- partment, especially the school de- partment, lacks sufficient storage space to ask for delivery at one time. suitable delivery arrangements will be made. In some cases as many as three deliveries may be nec- ,ssary. Chairman Bartlett of the committee stated this morning that he felt sure there would be a ma terial saving by this method.

 Tn making public the conclusions reached by the investigation, the department did not identify the sec- tions in which 1t was conducted fur ther than that they were the Great Lakes states.
 Establishment of definite state and national policies regarding lands and settlement activities of private agen- cies was urged. While a number of companies are pursuing honest and carefully planned systems" of land development, the department said, much wild land had been sold to farmers by agencies whose "concern was sale and not settlement"

CAMPAIGN FUND
 EXPOSE LIKELY
Advertising Man Threatens Fire. works at Democrats Expense

New York, March 2s.-L. A. Van Patten, whose advertising agency is involved in a wrangle with the democratic national committee over an advertising deal during the presi- dential campaign last year, has promised that "freworks' would be produced at the trial of the suits fil- ed yesterday by both sides.
 "Borah committee Investigating campaign expenditures will be inter- ested more than a little in this suit" said MT. Van Patten. He added that trial of the cases would "shed great light on the reasons why John w. Davis, democratic presidential can- didate. and Charles W. Bryan, vice. presidential candidate, suffered such a crushing defeat in the election last fall"
 Tho democratic national committee filed suit to compel Van Patten, Inc, to account for a s50.O00 cash ad- 'vance for campaign advertising last fall and to return any amounts due. Van Patten, Inc, countered with a suit for $S4,220, claiming the agency spent s9,220 above the original $50,- 900 and lost additional money as commission on a s60o,ooo contract, of which the committee expended only about $100,000.
 After a second unsuccessful con- ference yesterday in an attempt to negotiate settlement of the case, subpoenas and notices to appear for examination before trial April were issued against Glenn l.. Shaver, dem ocratic national chairman, and George White. Counsel for the committee said the attempt to have such exminaion would be resisted.
 Mir. Van Patten said that Jesse II. Jones of Texas, director of finance of the democratic national committee, would be central figure in the case. Jones was McAdoo supporter.
 Shaver asserted that the intima- ton of Van Patten that the case would bsing out into the open ru- mored charges of discord in the democratic ranks during the presi- dential campaign had no basis in fact.
 Rayford W. Alley. counsel for the democratic national committee, ex- plained the committees attitude to- ward the suit
 | 'The committee" he said, '1s morally and legally obligated to ac- [count for all funds entrusted to 1t, and to discharge this obligation the committee must ascertain the uses to which the s50,000 advanced to the Van Patten agency was applied.
 After making every effort to get an accounting for nearly four mounths, the committee was com pelled to resort to the courts"

 The jury of nlne men and three women was sworn in yesterday. The jurors were allowed to so to their homes.

 and told the judge of Clark's story In this manner. the a4iidavIt said Judge Olson first learned of Fai. man.
 clark's wife formerly was employ, cd at Faiman's school, according tt the affidavit. and she would cor. roborate her husband in testimony that Shepherd never had visited the | school.
 The renewal of the defense offen. sive for bail for Shepherd came 24 hours after the bodies of McClin- tocks mother. Mrs. Emma Nelson McClintock, dead 16 years. and of pr. Oscar Olson, brother of Judge Olson, had been exhumed for ex- animation for traces of poisoning or other unnatural causes of death.
 Chicago, March 2S.-Edward P. Clark. one of the first witnesses in the inquiry that led to the indict- ment of William D. Shepherd as the slayer of his fostser son, William McClintock, orphan millionaire. was questioned by states attorneys today on information that he had been of- fered $5,000 to leave the city.
 Detectives were sent out to bring in also for questioning the head Of a detective agency who was said to have made the offer. Clark formerly was salesman of the national uni- yersity of sciences. whose head, Charles c. Faiman. was jointly in- dicted with Shepherd after he said he had given Shepherd typhoid gerhs and instructions on adminis- tering them to McClintock.
 A decSaration that Faiman never had any germ cultures in his school was made by Mrs. Luella Rhuebell, who said she was formerly secretary of the school, and who yesterday obtained writ of replevin for the recovery from her landlord of cer. tain documents she said would have bearing on the Shepherd case. The documents, which, she said, had been taken from her last Monday, would clear Shepherd of the charges against him.
 Another assertion that Faiman's testimony would be discredited came from William Scott Stewart, Shep- herds attorney, who served notice on Robert F.. Grove, states attorney that he would apply for rehearsing on his motion, denied Wednesday to have Shepherd released on bail pending trial. Faiman and others who appeared before the grand jury which indicted Shepherd testified at the first bail hearing. Prosecutors will oppose Stewards motion.
 Meanwhile search for any poison traces in the bodies of Mrs. Emma Nelson McClintoGk, mother of Will liam, and Dr. Oscar Olson exhum- ed yesterday continued today. This was decided upon last night despite the primary discovery that evidence of heart disease existed in both bodies. A complete chemical anal ysis Of the organs of the bodies will take at least a month, Dr. William D. McNally. coroners physician, es- timated.
