What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Coal Code designations
Originated in St.
Louis Incident.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TINE story behind the wholesale
resignation of the Retail Coal
Code Authority is a tale flaming
L with red-hot N. r. A. clinkers.
The authority and its 49 chill
dren are supported by the national
retail dealers. That is, salaries and
expenses of the code authority here
and of the subauthorities in each of
the 48 States and the District Of
Columbia are contributed by the coal
men themselves.
No one mould cry about that,
ercept that the main job OF the
sub authorities appears to haze
been the firing OF prices for their
respective States. You can readily
see what an inferno can be smoked
up phen the coal men pay the
salaries OF the boys Uho tr the
prices for them.
Not only that, but 100000 count up
how much that Isl of the contribution
went to a Philadelphia lawyer as a
fee for legal advice to the code au-
thority. And N. r. A. insiders say the
lawyer is one who disbelieves in the
N. r. A. and thinks it is unconstitu-
tional.

when the pumping was returned to q
normal amount, the well produced the
expected normal quantity of so gal
Ions a minute. He said this well had
been producing water at this rate dur
ing the past 80 days.
He said the other we'll has been
producing water at the rate of 10
gallons a minute for the past eight
months and that this water is clear.
He said the two wells are produc-
ing water at the rate of 100 gallons a
minute or more than 100000 gallons
day, which would afford 200 gallons
a day for as many as 500 persons at
the hospital. The children's insti-
tuition has only 152 beds.
Since the water from one of the
wells still is running muddy, construc-
ton Of filtration plant has been
started and is expected to be COM
pleted in from two to three months
The cost Of this plant is estimated
at $1,000.
Plans for Future.
AS 10 I1e IuIure, 10 I'LL greater
need when the adult institution is
opened, District officials are consid-
ering one of three steps: To rely on
additional wells, to lay a water main
connection to Landover, Md, in an
arrangement with the Suburban Sani-
tary Commission or to lay connec-
ton with the District water supply
system.
The last would cost considerably
more than either of the other two.
Three years ago the Suburban Sani-
tary Commission told the District it
could not supply water. The District
is not now informed as to whether the
situation there has changed. Maj.
Hodgson said that as a last resort, if
necessary, the longer water main
connection to the District system
could be accomplished.
District officials said there had been
no misunderstanding between them
and Federal officials over the status of
the water supply at Glenn Dale.

Fines Made Easy to Pay.

In Birmingham, England, certain
minor legal offenses no longer require
attendance in court and payment of
fines has been facilitated. The ad-
vantage of the plan is that the Of
fender knows his liability. there is
less need for policemen to attend
court and the time of the justices Is
saved. Fines are payable to justices
clerks and not direct to police officers.
A fourth offense involves q summons
to appear in court.

What really famed the situation
into flames was a development in st.
Louis.
Loyal N. r. A. men here say
that the st. Louis School Board
tried to buy some coal and found
the price considerably higher. 1t
1Das told the N. r. A. had ordered
the increase. The attorney gen.
ernl out there Investigated, threat
ened antitrust action and de-
mdnded that the coal sub author
ity be fired.
The N. r. A. here then got busy and
ordered all regional coal code authori-
ties to submit their cost and price data
to Washington before permitting new
prices to go into effect. The code
authority here resigned in protest and
it is assumed some Of the regional sub
authorities will shortly follow suit.
Thus the N. r. A. is getting Goals Of
fire heaped upon its head for trying
to decrease prices, and the code might
as well be in the ash can.
DO Not Choose" Expected.
There has been a lot of inside talk
around here lately that Mr.. Hoover
will work a line into his Challenge
to Liberty" saying he does not choose
to run in 1886.
Friends ,Dko hdue seen the man.
iiseript sapear there is nothing like
that in 1t. They do not beliepe
! anything 50 definite could haze
been inserted By the er-President
after they saU the manuscript, al
though they are not sure.
They argue convincingly that Mr..
Hoover could not make such state
ment for two very good reasons-po-
liteness and politics. It would GER
tainly be impolite, If not indiscreet,
for him to assume he is in line for the
next Republican nomination. Also,
any one who knows anything about
politics will never again repeat the
mistake of Teddy Roosevelt by hand
cutting himself too far in advance.
Not Hermit of Stanford.
Those who have recently called at
the Hoover home say he no longer is
the hermit of Stanford. He always
has guests at luncheon and dinner,
and there are usually house guests
around. His calling list is formidable
and his correspondence heavy.
The er-President keeps such
close tab on affairs in Washing
ton that he frequently krotOs Dhdt
is going on before the announce
nlents are made in the ne,DS-
papers. He has friends Gf not
agents. here loho keep him up to
the minute He has turned doDn
numerous offers to prite for nldga-
zines.
On top Of it all, he has become al
most gay because he has no RESPONSE
bilities for the first time in his life.

RICHMOND, Va, September 2 up.
Malcolm K. Harris, attorney for the
Riverside and Dan Cotton Mills at
Schoolield, near Danville, called on
Gov. George c. Peery yesterday after
noon to give him a personal report,
that there was little chance of q

The administration publicity gents
hereabouts could show Bobby Jones a
few tricks about timing.
Just day before the resignd-
ton OF Budget Director Douglas
came out, the Treasury issued
statement promising that the Sep
tember financing Mould be con-
fined to refnancing old issues.
That is the first time the Treas
ury has euer issued any such prom
tses ahead OF time Old Treasury
outsiders did not knop whdt to
make of it until they noted the
Douglas resignation Then they
surmised that the Treasury knep
the Douglas resignation ,Das COM
ing and snadrtly desired to Offset
any i'll effects it might haze on
the Government.
Better yet was the fact that they
put Agriculture Secretary Wallace to
writing a book as soon as they heard
Mr.. Hoover was writing one. Both
will be published about the same
time.
