EXPERT HINTS
Dismissed Finance Man Is
Supported by Yale
Educator.

BV Scripps-Hoioard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. July 14.-Dismis-
BAL Of DR.. Ray o. Hall as financial
expert for the United States De-
partmcnt Of Commerce is sympto-
matte Of a tendency apparent in
Washington to hide expert findings
behind a false front Of political ex-
pediency,' in the opinion Of Pro-
lessor James Harvey Rogers. we'll
known economist.
Rogers, Yale faculty member and
expert for the committee on recent
economic changes, is here to finish
a book. America Weighs Her Gold"
He not only supported DR.. Hall in
the controversy, but said that his
dismissal bares a tendency "sus-
pected by many economists in the
country to ignore expert opinion
when such opinion conflicts with
political oppOrtunism.
In an interview today, Rogers re-
derred to press stories on the tink-
ering Of the Wickersham report on
prohibition; on alleged ignoring by
the administration Of important rec
concentrations from Colonel Ar
thur Woods CT the emergency en-
ployment committee; on the shelly
.1ng Of the Stern Pollak account OF
Che Mooney Billings trials by
Chairman Wickersham; on over
optimistic figures on unemployment
by the department Of labor.
The Hall affair appears to lee
as a clear and extreme example Of
a tendency, apparent here in Wash
3ngton and suspected by many econ
omists in the country, to misuse
OF expert findings. We were led to
believe that this is a scientific adj
ministration.
In interpreting the data of ex-
perts it appears that often officials
have been guided by political con-
eiderations rather than by scientific
Feaism."
The dismissal of Dr., Hall, together
with his charge that his report was
changed in substantial details, is
being investigated by Secretary
Robert Lamont. Hall charged that

GOOD HARD COAL.
PROSPECTS

The anthracite industry has
made more progress in readjust-
ing itself to the current low state
Of trade than industry as a
whole. While it has not com
pletely gotten its house in order
it Is in such shape that the hard
coal companies earnings could
pick up rapidly with the advent
Of colder weather.
Amount Of coal in stock at the
mines, in storage plants and un-
billed loads Is just about normal
at present and Is under a year
ago.
Glen Alden Coal Co.'S. earnings
during the summer are under
stood to have been at q rate
which covered that portion Of
the company'S fourth annual
dividend on the capital stock.
Lehigh Valley Coal Co. for the
first nine months had q surplus
after all charges including depre-
ciation, depletion, etc., Of $685.
$50 against q deficit after
charges Of $105.OlO for the same

PAY ON COFFEE
L0ANSNADE

Speyer g. Co. and J. Henry
Schroeder Banking Corporation,
American fiscal agents for the
State Of Sac Paulo 2 per cent
coffee realization loan, have re-
ceived the results Of the coffee
realization plan for September,
the third month Of the second
year Of the plans operation.
Receipts from the sale Of
pledged coffee for the three
months totaled &2S4,754 and
$l,O47, ,596 for the sinking fund,
and E1S,324 and $S6,SI9 for the
reserve account.
Funds for the interest on the
bonds are derived from a special
tax on all coffee transported for
export from any point within the
State Of Sac Paulo. The receipts
from this tax for September were
ET9, ,664 and $374,714, and for the
three months totaled f276,5S4 and
$912.S29.
Since September 20, owing to
the decline In the exchange rate
Of the pound sterling, an remit
tances for the loan are being for
warded to the American fiscal
agents in dollars.

Utility Earnings Nearly
On Par of Last Year

Although the outlook for in
creased use Of electricity in the
months Immediately ahead is not
good, there is nothing to Sug-
gEst that growth in domestic con-
sumption will be halted even
temporarily, according to the
Brookmire Economic Service, Inc,
which points out that the in
crease in population growth and
additional installations of such
household appliances as electric
rsfrigeratorS, washing machines
and radios assure the continued
growth Of household use.
From the standpoint Of profits,
it Is added, the leading utility
companies are benefiting from
declining commodity prices and
this fact, with their rates gen.
orally remaining fixed, will in
many instances enable them to
offset largely any declines in
business and leave their 1881
earning power close to 1880 level.
Costs Lower, Prices Same
The current month is the SIX
teenth consecutive month, says
the Brookmire statement, in
which electric power output in
kilowatt hours, as reported by
the Department Of the Interior,
has failed to equal that Of the
corresponding month Of the preW-
GUS year. The decline in output

LITTLE CHANGE
IN COTTON

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 U.NSO.-
The cotton market showed little
change today, and for the better
part Of the session prices backed
and filled within a narrow trad
ing area.
The principal source Of buying
orders was the spot houses, which
were fixing for mills in the De
cember position, where also the
bulk Of the covering was going on.
At the same time, these quarters
were selling small hedge lots in
the March, May and July posi-
tlons.
There was some Liverpool and
Continental buying taking place,
with this demand tending to Off
set moderate hedge offerings from
the South. Efforts of speculative
interests to capitalize the early
weakness in stocks by selling cot.
ton, proved unsuccessful as good
resistance was encountered in the
various deliveries.
At midday December was un,
changed at 6.58, January I'M
changed at $40, March off 2 at
6.87, May off 1 at 7.05, and July
off 2 at 7.2S,
