Berry, chairman of the commission and commandant of the National Guard, foresees increasing use of fuel oll. He gays that before anthracite min- ing operations Were suspended the state contracted for installation of oil burning apparatus in a new armory being erected in South Brooklyn. Many publlc bulldings are now equipped with fuel ofl heaters, al- though in not &ll cases are they be- ing used regularly.

The New York city department of publio markets is trying to deter. mine the best methods for use ot coal othér than anthracite, Varlous grades of soft coal, coke and Welsh coal will be investigated, but no sub- stitutes of & prepared nature will be tested. 4 REPORTED KILLED —_— Detalls of Egyptian Religious Cere- mony Tragedy Are Awaited By Outside World.
