Expenditure would be limited by aw, surplus would be repavable 90 days after election, and supervision would be in the hands of responsi party committees which would report 10 the Federal authorities.

FLINTSTONE. Md.. March 20.—Eli Ritchey, a game protector, with the assistance of Adam Snyder and Wil- liam Johnson of Everett, killed a wild eat on Sideling Hill Mountain that measured 54 inches from tip to tip. The animal had been killing game and was tracked to a rocky knob on Kings Knob. 2 The cat had worked its way under the rocks and the men were unable to reach it. After sending “creepers,” small dogs, into the rocks to fight it, they were forced to dynamite the stone until they could reach the cat and dispatch it.

TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1928, SKEPTICAL OF BIG - COAL CONFERENCE Get Better Results With Few at Board. Because of the size of the conference Gov. Fisher of Pennsylvania is under- stood to be arranging to consider re- adjustment of the coal industry, Presi- dent Coolidge doubts if the results would be practical or affirmative. The President would be happy to see something of that kind brought about, but he is inclined to think that more would be accomplished if the conference was smaller. According to the reports, the governor is suggesting a conference to be attended by representatives of the various coal-producing States, of the | mine operators and mincrs and the Fed- eral Government. The President based his doubts about | the success of such a conference upon the lack of results growing out of the recent parley between the Secretary of Labor and representatives of the opera- tors and miners. 1f the subject to be considered was the mere question of wages, the con- | ference as proposed by Gov. Fisher, | the President believes, would hold out more’ promise. Inasmuch as the entire economic problem brought about by the coal situation and involved in the mat- ter of reorganizing the industry would have to be discussed, the President is 1ot hopeful of any great results. However, if Gov. Fisher wishes to hold such & conference, he would not oppose it and would no doubt have the Government represented. COL. HALL REASSIGNED.

Hughes were in the cabinet when the Sinclair contribution was made and neither had condemned it. He also criticized the continued silence of President Coolidge, who. he said. was the chief beneficiary of the Sinclair gift, because it “cleared the decks for the 1924 campaign.” Robinson injected the name of the | iate Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of Interior during a part of the Wilson administration, who, he said, approved some of the first leases in the naval oil reserves and became identified with the Doheny interests after leaving the cabinet. Senators Johnson. Republican, Cali- fornia, and Glass, Democrat, Virginia, the latter a cabinet associate of Lane, deceased cabinet officer, also spoke. Glass termed the Robinson attack a “dastardly insinuation” and said Lane left the cabinet a poor men.

Hearings Resume Tomorrow. They declared the same oll rators had attempted for eight ytlr‘:p'dunng reserves, but been turned back. Glass said Ryan's aid to the Democrats always had been beyond question. Merritt Baldwin of Merigen, Conn., who is sald to have been a private secretary to Sinclair from 1922 to 1924, will appear as a witness when the ofl commitiee resumes its hearings tomor- row.

Liberty bonds today had led to Sullivan, Ind., the home town of Will H. Hays, former Republican national chairman, and Special Investigator A. M. Pisher, a representative of Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota, of the Senate Teapot Dome investigating com- mittee, was here to investigate. Pisher questioned Sullivan citizens and checked at different Sullivan banks in an attempt to prove or disprove that a biock of the missing Liberty Bonds of the Continental Co. passed had through the hands of Sullivan citizens. ‘“Friendship,”’ ex- plained the lady who had read Emerson, “is based upon re- spect.” She was giv- ing a lecture at the Woman’s Club and never realized that her words explained the growing popular- ity of Yorktown Cig- arettes.
