Sorlie said, and Nye, it seated by the Senate, will serve only until the results of the spectal election become known, unless he is | elected to fill the vacancy.

No decision has been reached as et concerning detalls of the new regu- latfon. It was believed, however, that !among them would be some change in the present method of distribution to members of the Jewish faith. Assistant Secretary of Treasury Andrews has been in conference for several days with prominent Jews of both the orthodox and reform con- gregations. While the general attitude of offi- clals seems to be to grant wine, con- | sidered by Jews as necessary in the observance of their sacred rites and ceremonles, there also were indica- tions that serfous changes may be made in the regulations to prevent leakage of sacramental wine into channels where it is used for purely beverage purposes. * ) 1., EXPERTS DENY SOFT COAL MENAGE Declare Use of Bituminous Far Less Hazardous Than Burning Hard. Nelther competent statl pert engineers at the United Bureau of Mines bst warning issued by John L. president of the United Mine W of Amerfea, that thousands of Amer can familles in homes equipped with heating plants built to burn anthracite coal will run a risk of “wholesale as phyxiation” if they attempt us bituminous coal as & substitute. O the other hand, after carefully consulting unblased statistics, officigls at the Bureau of Mines estimated that the danger of suffocation from bl tuminous gases is about one-sixth as acute as the menace of the deadly carbon monoxide guses that are thrown off by anthracite coal. At least it was said, bituminous gas gives am ple warning of its presence, whereas arbon monoxide kills first. Expert Hits Warning. R. M. Kudlich, assistant chief mechanical enginesr of the Bureau of Mines, bluntly churged after read- Ing extracts from Mr. Lewls' warn ing that he had resorted ‘to proy ganda to frighten the public fr the use of soft coal. Mr. Kudlich sald he burns bituminous coal in his own home by preference and added that if choice of fuels depend- ed solely upon a question of safety the bituminous varieties would “wi in a walk.” Lowis orkers other day and complained that he could smell gas from the bituminous coal he had Jjust started to burn.’ sald Mr. Kudlich. “Mr. O. P. Hood, the chief mechanical engineer, pened to get the phone. the person at the other end a few questions and learned that he had a bot-alr plant, with which it easier for any smoke or dust to reach the living quarters, of cou Soft Coal Gives Warning. “After learning all of the fa Hood_ replied how lucky you are. You would have gotten gas just the same with an. thracite coal, but it would have been carbon monoxide. You can't that gas and it might have killed you before you knew {t. At least bituminous gas warned vou it coming and now you can check It before any harm 1S done.’ Then Mr. Hood told him how to stop the smoke and gas. “That just about sums up the situa- tion generally. Out west bituminous is burned almost exclusively. In fact only about one-sixth of the public uses anthracite coal and I am safe in saying that there are more deaths among that sixth from carbon monoxide than there are among the other fivesixths from suffocation. Tt Is little short of ridiculous to say that soft coal is more dangerous than an- thracite. Methane Is Not Polsonous. “The gas that bituminous coal gives off is known as methane gus. It not poisonous in the least, is extreme- ly odoriferous and requires un ex- tremely dense concentration before it can produce suffocation. If a family were to sleep in a room without any open window and, from lack of kno Ing how to arrange the dampers, large amount of gas were to accumu. late, suffocation might result, it was sald.

Four years and more after the in- quiry was ordered, the Senate at its forthcoming session is to receive a report on the investigation into the fairness of the court-martial verdict dismissing from the service Capt. Ed. mund G. Chamberlain, & young Ma- rine Corps aviator, because of his story of a sensational battle with German airplanes on the western front in 1918. Chamberlain claimed that while on turlough he visited a British sector, obtained an airplane and while with a British bombing expedition shot down five German planes, damaged two others and. sweeping earthward in his own damaged plane, scattered a detachment of German soldiers. On_the basis of Chamberlain’s story the Navy Department recommended him for the highest honor for gal- lantry and courage, the Congressional Medal of Honor. The voung officer's » story soon was challenged, and stead of the medal he received dis- missal from the Navy after a court- martial in Paris and London. The Senate investigation was or- dered early in 1921 on the motion of Senator Sheppard of Texas, in which State Chamberlain lived.
