A COAL MEN CHARGE CONGRESS PROBERS (Continued from First Page.) than the law requires a Washington dealer to deliver, and that the price in Washington for the same coal was about $7.50 to the curb and $8.25 in the cellar for a long ton. The long ton cost to the \witness was later computed at $7.30. Where the Dollar Goes. In the course of the questioning that went back and forth over the statements of Senator Neely tness, Mr. Griffith asked permission to sub- mit some data showing just how the consumer's dollar was used in buying his coal. Mr. Griffith than presented data covering coal sales of represent- ative Washington companies for a perfod of three months. These months were for July, August and December, which were declared to represent a fair estimate of the average annual business. $333,250.05; of this sum the co: at the yards in Washington 642.88, or .7855 per cent of the sales price; trucking, $20,965.99, or .0629 per cent; vard rent, $1,250, or .0037 per cent; yard expense, $4,964.74, or .0149 per cent; depreciation of permanent equipment, $3,390.50, or .0101 per cent; administrative, $18,413.01, or .0552 per cent; hired hauling. $8.950.85, or .0268 per cent; profit, $7,190.22, or .0215 per cent. Mr. Griffith then submitted further testimony regarding the statements of the chief engineer of the Government fuel yards, yvesterday. Mr. Pope shov ed where he delivered to the curb of his yards a_ton of prepared Poco- hontas coal for about $10, being the same coal retail dealers kLere sell for $14. Mr. Griffith pointed out that Mr. Pope delivers his coal as it is recelved. whereas the dealer has to sell part of his coal'as slack, for about half what he gets for the prepared fuel.

Would Employ Auditors. Senator Glass of Virginia has in- sisted, throughout, that the merits ot distant coals have no bearing on profiteering in Washington. adding: “The thing for us to do is employ some auditors to look over the books of these retail men and determine once and for all if they have profiteered. On Wednesday a note was passed around to newspaper men announcing that Senator M. M. Neely of West Virginia would present every re- porter signing his name to the docu- ment with a ton of Fairmount high volatile bituminous coal. The Sena- tor, this paper declared, was sending a whole carload of this fuel, which it had been testified at the hearing { was too smoky for use in Washington. to the National Capital for distribu- tion among newspaper men. The on cost to those signing the papers would be the cost of hauling the ton from the car to their homes SRl Calls Centipedes Harmless. Centipedes and millipedes have more than eight pairs of jointed legs. Miili- petes look like centipedes, but they have two palrs of legs to what appears to be each segment of the body. They are vegetarians and harmless. Centi- pedes have no more than one pair of legs to each segment of the body. They are carnivorous and, like spid- ers, have poison glands in conection with their jaws, says Adventure Mag- azine. The story about them is just the same as those about the spiders and the true scorplons. They are rarely, if ever, fatal, but they are not pleas- ant when they get through a success- ful attack, which is their defense. 1 have never been bitten by them, but a man I know has gone to a great dea! of trouble to get large ones for the sake of having them bite him so that he can see what it is like.

The present lighting company has been generating power at a compara tively low cost, although the cost to the consumer is somewhat higher than in many other cities of this section o1 the country, the committee reported. But_the present company must ex pend $6,000,000 in equipment to *ake care of the estimated growth of busi- ness, which cost must enter into any future calculations on this subject. By the most conservative estumate power can be delivered in Washington from this project at 3.75 mills. which is approximately 2 mills less than it/ can be generated by steam. Smallg streams at the head of the Potomac are now being utilized for electric power, and subsidiary com- panies of the American Water Power Co. are now erecting an $8,000,000 plant in this section, and an enormous plant costing more than $50,000,000 has just been authorized by the pub- lic service commission of Maryland on the Susquehanna River near Balti- more.
