C. C. Is Told. By the Associated Prese. NEW YORK, October 12.—W. A. Gordon, statistical accountant for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, vesterday contended before the Interstate Commerce Commission that New England carriers were en- titled to higher rates on coal ship- ments than railroads in the Eastern district as a whole. He presented figures in support of his contention to the commission, which is inquiring into thé all-rail rates on coal from central Pennsyl- vania mines to New England and ern points, to decide whether the rates should be reduced. Robert L. Wallace, New England district manager of the Pocahontas Fuel Co., said any material increase in the cost of delivering West Virginia coal would handicap its successful competition with Pennsylvania coal. ¥. T. McCauley, assistant general freight agent of the Western Mary- land Railroad, testifying before the commission, sought to show that op. eration of Northern rall lines was much more expensive than that of Southern tidewater lines.

The celebration started Sunday aft- ernoon after Alexander had stopped the Yankees in the seventh inning and had sailed along to victory. The town went wild.

BORAH SEES ADDED CAUSE FOR INQUIRY Senator Cites Dye Ruling as Increasing Need for Alien Property Jury. The Supreme Court decision yester- day upholding the sale of selzed Ger- man dye patents by the alien property custodian to the Chemical Foundation was cited by Senator Borah, Repub- lican, of Idaho, as givirtg added reason for investigation of the custodian of- fice. He indicated that, if the inquiry were undertaken, Harry M. Daugh- erty and Thomas F. Miller, a former custodian, would be among the first witnesses summoned. The Senator is chairman of a special Senate commit- tee to Investigate the office, but has been unable to proceed because no funds were appropriated. Asserting he did not care to com- ment on the outcome of the Daugh- erty-Miller trial in New York, the Sen- ator, however, sald that “‘our whole record in reference to the administra- tion of alien property is a sorry one.” “We have been foremost among the nations,” he asserted, “in advocating the protection of private property against the ravages of war and against confiscation. “It is now elght years since the war, and we still hold this property from its owners. It has amounted to con- fiscation to hundreds of owners. Some of the Instances of injustice and in- Jury are beyond belfef. It is no wonder that individuals look upon this prop- erty as legitimate prey. The more speedily we clean up this mess and do as near justice as we can the sooner we will give some evidence of living up to our professions.” S (ESRS WED BEFORE REGISTRARS British Couples in Large Numbers Prefer Economy Marriages.

H. L. FUGUA DS N LOUISANA 0. H. Simpson Succeeds in Office Vacated by Sudden Death of Klan Foe. By the Associated Press. BATON ROUGE, La., October 12.— Arrangements for the funeral of Gov. Henry L. Fuqua of Louisiana, who died here last night, were being held up pending the arrival here today of Mrs. Fuqua, who has been on a tour through the North. The governor's wife was located shortly after his death in Clarksdale, Miss. Members of his immediate family and a few close friends were at his bedside in the executive mansion when he died from internal gastric hemorrhages. The illness, from which he had been suffering but a few days,| had not been regarded as serious. Lieut. Gov. O. H. Simpson was sworn in as governor last night by Chief Supreme Court Justice Charles A. O'Neill. Gov. Fuqua stood for a conservative and constructive administration; he was a firm believer in education. The outstanding act of his tenure of office was the enactment of legislation pro- hibiting the wearing of masks, and during the two years he was governor he had the opposition of the Ku Klux Klan. He was born November 8, 1865, at Baton Rouge, was educated at Louls- iana State University and was miar- ried in 1890 to Miss Laura Matta. Two children were born to the union, Mrs. Walter Scott of Tallulah, La., and Henry L. Fuqua, jr, a student at Louisiana State University.

Transverse cuts which are being made in the streets and sidewalks at the rate of 200 a day, will be paved more quickly than heretofore under a new policy adopted by the commis tee on underground construction gt a conference yesterday afternoon, with Engineer ~Commissioner Bell. Additional men will be employed on the street paving gangs for the spe- cial purpose of repaving the gaps. Under the old policy the cuts re- mained unpaved for several months and resulted in considerable criticism from motorists. Now it is planned to pave them not later than a week after they are made. The delay in laying the new paving was sanctioned by District officials in order to allow a cut to settle. Those who make the cuts in the future, however, will be required to puddle the hole imme- diately. The puddling of a hole will prevent settling and allow new pav- ing to be put on as soon as it is filled. The committee also took steps to reduce the number of cuts now being made, especially in new paving, by re- quiring the Potomac Electric Power Co. to submit all plans of proposed installations to the Highway Depart- ment for approval.
