(Y DEPARTHENTS BUNCH COALORDERS Nearly 8,000 Tons to Be Par- chased of One Dealer Almost 5,000 tons of coal will be purchased at one time and from one dealer this year, according to a de. clsion of the committee on printing and supplies which met in the of- fice of Mayor Paonessa last evening, The committea decided that it would be possjble to save someo money by placing the entire’order in the hands of on@ dealer, father than to distribute it ameng several. Heads of the city departments were pres- ont and took part In the disclission. The committee will advertise for hlds early next week, but will re- serve the right to accept or reject all bids. Bids must be in by April 10 and will be opened and considered by the committee as a whole, There will ‘be required 2,000 tons of anthracite and 2,600 tons of soft coal, This will provide coal for the police, fire and school departments, municipal garage and City hall. Because of the fact that some de- partment, especlally the school de- partment, lacks sufficlent, storage space to ask for dellvery at one time, suitable delivery arrangements will be made. In some cases as many as three deliveries may be nec- wsary. Chalrman Bartlett of the committee stated this morning that he feit sure there would be a ma- terfal saving by this method.

The girl was returned to her cell in the county jail; not the same girl who entered there almost two months ago, but a chastened girl whose frequent collapses in court have glven an entirely different as- pect to her legal status, The jury is to begin Monday. It was stated that the taking of testi- mony will begin then and it was de- nied emphatically that the young defendant would enter a plea at that time*to a charge of elther murder in the seconll degree of ma..slaugh- ter, Many suggestions have come from sources unidentified with the prose- cution and defense that the vegdict in the girl's case be expedited, [Senator Wheeler Is Out On Bonds Set at $1,000 Washington, March 28.—Senator Burton K, Wheeler, of Montana, in- dicted here yest®day on conspiracy charges in connection with oll land permits, appeared in District of Co- WOMAN'S DEATH 15 (Continued From First Page) and told the judge of Clar!

Clark, one of the first witnesses in the inquiry that led to the indict- ment of Willlam D. Shepherd as the slayer of his fostser son, Willlam McClintock, orphan milllorfaire, was questioned by state's attorneys today on information that he had been of- fered $5,000 to leave the city. Detectives were sent out to bring in also for questioning the head of |a detective agency who was said to have made the offer. Clark formerly was a salesman of the national unl- versity of sclences, whose head, Charles C. Faiman, was jointly in- dicted with Shepherd after he sald he had given Shepherd typhold ger and instructions on adminis- tering\{hem to McClintock. decWaration that Faiman never had any germ cultures in his school was made by Mrs. Luella Rhuebell, recovery from her landlord of cer- tain documents she said would have a bearing on the Shepherd case. The documents, which, she said, had been taken from her last Monday, would clear Shepherd of the charges against him. Another assertion that Yaiman's testimony would be discredited came from Willlam Scott Stewart, Shep- herd's attorney, who served notice on Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney that he would apply for a rehearsing on his motlon, denied Wednesday to have Shepherd released on bail pending trlal, Faiman and others who appeared before the grand jury which indicted Shepherd testified at bonding company. Charles A. Douglas, one of the Montana senator's counsel, accom- panied Mr. Wheeler in court.

This was decided upon last night despite the primary discovery that evidence of heart disease existed in both bodles. A complete chemical anal- vsis of the organs of the bodies will take at least a month, Dr. Willlam D. McNally, coroner's physician, es- timated. . e Land Companies Are Near To Fraud, Is Statement Washington, March 28.—Tand companies operating in the Great Lakes states have employved sales methods “which appoach very close to the border line of fraud,” de- clared a statement today by the de- partment of agriculture based upon its investigation of land settlement and colonization in the lakes states. In making public the conclusions reached by the investigation, the department did not identify the sec- tions in which it was conducted fur- ther than that they were the Great Lakes statos. Istablishment of definite state and national policies regarding lands and settlement activities of private agen- cles was urged, While a number of companies are pursuing “honest and carefully planned systems” of land development, the department said, much wild land had been sold to farmers by agencies whose “concern was sale and not settlement.” any deposits and including Hunger Strikers Ready To Eat After Two Weeks Hamburg, March 28.—After fast- ing for two weeks, 72 com:nunists serving time for complicity in last year's “putsch” here notified the prison warden today that they were again ready to take thelr share of the prison fare.

Davis, democratic presidential can. didate, and Charles W, Bryan, vice- presidential candidate, suffered such a crushing defeat in the election last fall.” The democratic national committee filed suit to compel Van Patten, Inc,, |to account for a $50,000 cash ad- ivance for campaign advertising last fall and to return any amounts due. Van Patten, Inc, countered with a suit for $84,220, claiming the agency spent $9,220 above the original $560,- 000 and lost additional money as commission’ on & $600,000 contract, of which the committes expended only about $100,000.

Mr. Van Patten sald that Jesse H. Jones of Texas, director of finance of the democratic national committee, would be a central figure in the case. Jones was a McAdoo supporter, Shaver asserted that the intima- tion of Van Patten that the case would bsing out into the open ru- mored charges of discord 1in the democratic ranks during the presi- dential campaign had no basis in fact. Rayford W. Alley, counsel for the democratic national committee, ex- plained the committee's attitude to- ward the suit. “The committee,” he said, *is morally and legally obligated to ac- count for all funds entrusted to it, and to discharge this obligation the committee must aseertain the uses to which the 850,000 advanced to the Van Patten agency was applied. “After making every effort to get an accounting for nearly four mounths, the committes was com- pelled to resort to the courts.” Will Give Demonstration in Physical Education A demonstration of physical edu- cation will be given by the pupils of the Washington school in the school auditorium, Thursday evening April 2, at 8 o'clock.

Baker, who yesterday observed his 86th birthday may be called upon to play the role of peacemaker among the eastern rail- roads if opposition to the projected Nickel Plate merger and the pro- posed four-system plan for con. solidation grows too intense, There have been hints that other mem- bers of the Big Four might use ob- Jectlons to the Van Bweringens' plan as a lever to obtain concessions in the general regrouping of the east- ern roads, Mr. Baker is considered a powerful ally of the Van Bwer- ingens and would probably use his influence with the New York Cen- tral and other big systems to re- move this sort of opposition. The conservative lines on which corporations are conducting their business apparently without inflation are reflected in recent annual re- ports for 1924, Bethlehem Steel, al- though operating at 85 per cent of capasity, showed inventories of only $79,000,000 compared with $89,000,- 000 gt the beginning of Jast year, In- ventories of General Motors were reduced to $97,000,000 from $138,- 000,000 while U. 8. Steel reported only a small increase to $285,000,- 000 from $270,000,000 a years ago. The Norfolk & Western earned $12.85 a share on the common stock in 1924 after preferred divi- dends, compared with $13.85 a share in 1923. Net income of $18,- 243,248 decreased about $545,000. The income account for the year in- cluded $3,126,636 interline business for December on instructions of the interstate commerce commission, which in pervious years had been carried over to the next year, thus | glving 1924 the benefit of 13 months interline business, With this item excluded, last year's balance for the common was equal to $10.53 a share. A prosperous business vear was forecast by Percy Rockefeller, a di- rector of the Anaconda Copper Co. and other corporations, on his de- parture for Europe today. *Condi- tions are fundamentally sound and there iIs nothing to worry about,” he said. “We have had some tem- porary sethacks but thek have heen purely local. I am positive things are coming out all right.” The White Motor company's net income of 1924 declined to $4,084,- 248 equal to $8.16 a shara on the capital stock, in comparison with $6,964,666 or $13.93 & share in 1923, Surplus for the year after dividends was $2,048,248 against $4,964,666 the year before, The final step in the Baltimore & Ohlo railroad's $150,000,000 re- funding program will be compléted this spring through the sale of about [$45,000,000 in bonds to retire a 314 per cent lssue of the southwestern division maturing July 1. The inter- est rate of the new bonds, it is re- ported, will be 51 or 6 per cent.
