BANTONTOWATCH ~FORLAW EVASINS “BY OAL DEALERS Begin Saving Coal Now by Saving Gas, Warning of j Cortelyou. District Attorney Banton took a Nvely interest to-day in the activities of State Fuel Administrator William H. Woodin and the hearing to take Place on alleged coal profiteering. Mr Banton assigned John F, O'Neill, his assistant, to Col Donovan, legal advisor to the Fuel Administrator. The determination to Bistant to watch any by Mr. Woodin was f co-operate with en an as. igation held ed following a Conference last night between Col Donovan and Mr. Banton. fn assign ing Mr. O'Neill to-day, Mr. Banto announced that he did not want any- thing done by Mr. O'Neill or by any one connected with his office th&r might grant immunity to possible de- fendants in the future. He said that Mr. O'Neill would merely be present fm an advisory capacity and “listen in."" More than 200 carloads of anthra- cite coal, chiefly in household sizes, were brought to New York tide- water yesterday by the Lehigh Val- ley Railr it was announced., Perth Amboy received 151 carloads for New York delivery; Newark, 18; Jersey City, 45 and local points on the New Haven Railroad, 27. Collierles served by the Lehigh Valley Railroad yes terday mined 46,191 tons of anthra- @tte coal, an increase of 9,609 tons over the same day last year A circular sent out to gas con- sumers yestérday by the Consolidated Gas Company of New York and signed by George B. Cortelyou, Presi- @ent, warns New Yorkers that they ere facing a “serious shortage of ooal," and as coal is used in making gas, to "begin economizing in the use of gas now.” “New York State, like other locall- ties," says the circulur,"’ is facing a serious shortage of coal. Economy in the uxe of coal is imperative. As coal fs usefl In making gas, economy in the fise of gus means a saving of coal. The time to begin economizing in the ‘use of gas is now, in order that coal may be conserved for winter use when gas will be in great demand, as a gubstitute for coal, for household heating.” That it is inadvisable at the pres- ent time to fix a “fair price’ on coal was the opinion of Mr. Woodin to- day, who said: umerous inquiries are coming In- to this office as to what is a fair price for coal in New York City and vicinity, A fair price is determined by three factors: “Price at the mines, ‘freight charge, and “margin added by the dealer." “We have control over only one factor, The freight rate is fixed, The price at the mines varies from $5.00 per ton to $14.00 per ton, over which the State of New York has no control “It is therefore impossible ¢or the Now York State Fuel Administrator tu determine whether a price charge oy any retailer Is fair until he has exact knowledge of what the dealer has been obliged to pay at the mines.” Mr. Woodin is endeavoring to se- cure a fixed price at the mines so that he can determine what the fair retail price of each dealer should be, he said. in the mean time he would be happy !f the rich could buy the high price coal from the high priced mines and leave the lower priced coal for the less fortunate. : Mr. Woodin issued ment to-day: nder Section 18 of the act creating the Fuel Administration, any violation of that act or any violation of a rule of the Fuel Administrator Is a misde- meanor. It is not proposed that the Administration will erect a bureaucracy of lawyers to enforce che provisions of this act. It is belleved that the act can be more effectively enforced by the authorities already duly constituted. To carry out this purpose, the legal adviser of the Administration is com- munieating with each District Attorney throughout the State. By following this method the State fn saved expense, duplication avoided and offenders pros- ecuted by those best qualified,” Prec B nation ELEVEN CHARGE AGAINST THIS COP One That He Crawled Into Bed With Prisoner. Patrolman Darby Dent of the But- ler Street Station, Brooklyn, appeared before Deputy Commissioner Leach to-day for trial on eleven charges of violation of department rules. Only two of them were heard to-day. One was that while assigned to guard a prisoner in the Long Island College Hospital last April he got drunk and crawled into bed with the prisoner. It was also charged that Dent has repeatedly failed to appear for trial, The additional charges will be tried Oct. 17—if Dent is there. And if he isn't he was told not to come back at all. Decision was re- served on the charges heard to-day. Another policeman on trial was Francis O'Connor, accused of getting drunk Sept. 16 at Coney Island. He sald he merely took a tonic prescribed by his doctor for a cold. Five other policemen were heard on minor charges and decision was re- served in each case. the following DR.

Three hundred thous ad children were inoculated as a tre ventative of diphtheria, This 304,000 were compared with an equal uumber that had not been inoculated. Tire percentage of diphtheria cases among the non-inoculajed was five times greater than those who had been inoculated, “We want to inocultte all the schopl children and then be in a post- tion to inoculate all entering classes, and perhaps youngsters before they go to school,” added Dr. Copeland, The $25,000 asked by the Health Commission for the diphtheria pre- vention bureau would employ five physicians at $1,340 a year; five nurses at $1,405 a year; two bacte- rlologists at $1,495 a year; two lab- oratory assistants at $864 a year and eight helpers at $724 a year, The Estimate Board approved the creation of the prevention bureau but Dr. Copeland's requests for salary increases in the Health Department offered at To the members of the American Bankers’ Association, assembled in New York for their Annual Convention—Welcome!
