A. O. Footc, of tho Ucrry-Footo Co.,
Inc., In tho Land Title Building, said
n jump of at least ?1 In the prlco of

w"n- ,rnV,lin,?t from 52.35 to
?J.0o a' ton, ' ho said. "The $1 In

tt hen tho supply catches up with the
demnnd, Ihe price will come down j but
not to Its present level."
"Oh, boy, I hate to tell you!" was
the answer of James Sense, of the Davis
Coal Co., Wldcner Uulldlug, when he
was asked how this order would affect
the market. "We deal largely In West
Irginia gas- coal. Cement manufac
turers are the greatest users of the
grade. They nre unable to get coal at
present to till their needs.
"The cement men will bid against
each other mid before April .10 coal

realize thnP. but can't tutn down the
highest bidder. If wo nre able to get a
good car supply to transport conl the
price will drop somewhat before July,
I believe."
I. C. Cameron, of the Cameron Conl
Co., Real Estate Trust Building, said
many companies arc mining coat at a

in tho market," he said, "with coal
finally selling nt n price nbout ten or
twenty cents n ton above tho present

At the offices of the Bituminous Coal

said that If cars are plentiful and tho

Admission was made today that the
Central German government lacks power

where but n smnll proportion of tho

denied, however, thnt bolshevism has

pected in diplomatic and military circles
hero to remain virtually unchanged un
til the peaco conferees in London de
cide whether or not German Govern
ment troops shall be allowed in that
district.
The conference had before it yester
day a protest by Czecho-filovakln
ngainst such action. It failed to reach
a decision, and put over to today the
question whether the valley should be
allowed to remain as It Is or If the
Czech protest should bo overridden.
This is the only instance whore the
Entente may takn n hand in the German
disorders, nnd then, only because Ger
many, under tho provisions of the
treaty of Versailles, does not control
that section of tho country. It Is
declared here tbat the Entente is still
maintaining n hnnds-off policy, not
withstanding the recurring reports that
the British mission In Berlin is attempt
ing to dictate to tbo Ebert government.

It would have started n preliminary

the question squarely to the front at the

Recalls Old -Time Fights
Tho situation today is assuming a
similitude to the old factional fights of
the Delaware of twenty yenrs ago. It
also furnishes occasion for tho nnti
suffragists to talk of tbo "steam roller"
methods of Republican National Chair
man Hays. The Hays method is but
the panting of a four-cylinder flivver
compared to tho stone-crusher methods
of tbo Wilson administration In at
tcmntlne to smash its wav into first
placo to save Democracy's face. From
this it can oo observed that the zone
of influence is located in Wnshington.
Absolutely nothing was done by either
branch of tho Legislature at yester
day's session. The little fortv bv fiftv
assembly ball and the Lilliputian Sen
ate chamber exhaled delicatn nerfumes

"Just Enough Turkish"
I'dtiuia's leadership here, where cipensWo

result, more aud more ot them, ihe country
