crense for Fuel Supply.

Edison Company Official Also

to Each Mine.
Excesshe exposition of coal since all
restrictions were removed on April 1

. market that the fuel 1 III of the public
' utilities of New Vctk city will be at
least 110.000,000 higher for the year end
Ins Match 31. 1021. than In the year end
Ing Marth 31. 1920.
This feet was made known at jester
a -,.inn of the Innulry being con-
ducted by the spccM Senate committee,
on reconstruction r.d production In the
Engineering Society """"-.
Thirty-ninth street, through the qucs
tltnlng of John W. l.leb, vice-president
of the New York Hdlson Company, and
Alfred M narrett. acting Public Service
Commissioner. Doth urged n restrict on
of coal exports, and Mr Lleb suggested
definite assignment of cars at tne
mines for public utilities.
Mr. Llfb raid delivery on the Edison
Company's contracts for the coal year Is
but 62 per cent, of the amount called for
at from It. 25 to $4.75 a ton. and It Is
necessary to buy coal In the open mar
ket at from I7.B0 to J12-50 a ton. With
out the opportunity to buy In the opn
market, he said, the company would be
"down and out." It Is easy to get all
the coal wanted at the high priced spot
figure, he said.
"What this means to the communlt.
he told Senator Calder. "will be realized
.t.. . that Hie New York Edl-
son Company supplies energy to some of.
the street railways: to me irun imc
the New Haven from Woodlawn almost
to Stamford: to the New York, West
chester and Boston, that ft .operates
practically all the telephone and tele
graph lines of the city : that the hos
pitals and the Fire Departments high
pressure svstem depend on the electrical
energy It supplies ; that it supplies most
of the city's hoisting transportation. In
cluding the elevators In buildings.'
Senator Calder asked him how It was
that he could buy "spot" coal readily
enough and yet could not get deliveries
en his contracts. He explained that the
mines are receiving but 30 to 50 per cent
of their car requirements and that they
In turn divide their car allotment be
tween the coal they must send on con
tract and that which they arc freo to
dispose of at any price, or "spot" coal.
Asked If It was considered legal to do
this Instead of filling their contracts
first, he replied:
"The question of legality has been
raised, but It Is looked upon rather as an
ethical than a legal point."
.Mr. Lleb estimated that the public
utilities of New York require 5.000,000
tons of coal a year, including anthracite
and bituminous. From 25 to 35 per cent,
of these requirements Is now being
bought In the "spot" market, ho sal
Franklin Miller, assistant to Mr. Calder.
thereupon estimated that the difference
between the cost of coal bought all on
contract and that bought part contract
aso. part "spot ' would amount to a flat
Ujerease of 35 a ton on what should
lave been the price were exports not
so heavy, or an -added cost of 110,
040,000. Relating the difficulties of his com
pany In securing coal. Mr. Lleb told of
a new generating plant under construc
tion near Port Morris, to the docks of
which large ocean going steamships
may approach and discharge coal car
goes from the Southern tidewater coal
shipping points, Instead of depending
altogether on railroad hauling. He re
marked that oil ships could do the same:
but when questioned whether the new
plant meant a transfer from coal to
oil as the fuel for the big public utility
company he said such a proposition Is
too problematical and too far fn the
future. The present high cost of oil, he
said, would not render such a shift ad
vantageous. "The public utilities of the city have
Just ten days' supply on an average,"
Commissioner Barret said, "and If there
Is a strike on the railroads or at the
mines they will have to shut down within
a week. Their dally requirements av
erage 25,000 tons and they sought to
have In storage from 500,000 to 600,000
tons. I have figured that from July 1
to September 15 the utilities should re
ceive 500 carloads a day to maintain
them and put a little aside for reserve.
but to-day they are barely receiving
enough for each day s consumption."
The committee learned of famine coal
conditions In the northern counties of
New York State from John M. Carlisle,
lawyer, of Watertown, N". Y formerly
Public Service Commissioner for the up
State district, and formerly State High
ways Commissioner.
Robert M. Bush of the Brooklyn
Union Gas Company testified that his
concerns supply of anthracite Is less
than half what was contracted for. The
bearing will be resumed Monday.

Mayor Speeds Dock Commit'
sioner on "European Trip.
When Murray Hulbert, Commissioner
of Docks, goes to Europe to attend the
Olympic games at Antwerp as a mem
ber of the American Olympic commit

velopment In several of the larger
European ports before returning, His
Inspection will he made nt the Instruc
tion of Mayor Hylan, who wrote him a.
letter yesterday, part of which follows:
"I think it would be of advantage to
the city of New York If you would take
a little additional time and Inspect a
few of the larger harbors of Europe with
a view to learning not so much what
has been done there as "what the various
authorities are doing to apply to their
harbor Improvements the result of their
war experiences In shipping and trans
portation. "If you can conveniently do so you
might Include In your Itinerary the port
of Hamburg, My Interest In the free
xone system of that port has been
aroused, and I think that first hand In
formation of Its operation, practicability
and desirability would prove of service
In our port studies.
"I wish you would also make a study
of the methods In vogue In the various
harbors you visit for the disposal of
ashes and garbage. There may be some
Ideas that we could apply with advan
tage to our own disposal problem."
HOLD BANKER'S SON
ON FORGERY CHARGE
Stcdman Heferwl to Huphcs
as 'Charley' to Get Cash,
Complainant Says.
Harry B. Stedman, who was arrested
In Brooklyn last wctk when the pro
prietor of n restaurant complained he
had given him a bad check, was Indicted
yesterday for forgery In the second de
gree and attempted grand larceny. Stcd
man Is 30 years old. a Harvard grad
uate and the son of the head of the
banking house of Stedman & IUdfield of
Boston. The Brooklyn restaurant keeper
said Stedman claimed to be on friendly
terms with former Supremo Court Jus
tice Charles E. Hughes, and when his
check was qu;3t!oned he went to the
telephone and talked to somebody whom
he referred to familiarly as ' Charlie.'
The complainant against Stedman.
however, Is Norbert P. Pendergast, a
broker of 20 Broad street When the
Grand Jury' returned the Indictment yes
terday Judge Charles C. Nott. In Gen
era' Sessions. Immediately Issued a bench
warrant for Stedman. The warrant will
be fl'ed wjth the Kings County authori
ties and Stedman wl'l be brought to
Manhattan to plead to the Indictment.
Before he entered the Grand Jury
room Mr. Pendergast told Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Richard C. Murphy that
one day last December Stedman called
at his office and told him that he had
Just purchased 3400,000 worth of mort
gages from various title companies ana
that he had Just been left an estate
worth $2,000,000. He told Mr. Pender
gast that he wanted to leave his business
affairs in his hands.
Pendergast and Stedman, according to
the broker's statement went to luncheon
together that day at the Bankers' Club.
While there Stedman gave Mr. Pender
gast an order for $250,000 worth of
stock, writing out a checK lor the
amount upon a blank check of Ms
father's firm. Mr. Pendergast said he
paid for the luncheon, but Stcdman In
sisted on tipping- the waiter. When he
reached in his pocket he discovered that
be was penniless, and arrccted genuine
embarrassment. Mr. Pendergast said he
Immediately let Stedman have 350.
The next day, according to Mr. Pender
gast, a young woman called him on the
telephone and aiked him why he had not
kipt his appointment with her. As he
had no appointment, Mr. Pendergast was
surprised, but when she called him
"Norbey" he declared that pernaps il
woald be better to Investigate, and he
promised to see her. She also Informed
him that he had taken her Jl.ouu ring.
When the young1 lady arrived at Mr.
Pendergast's office, at his Invitation, she
discovered her mistake. Her description
of the man who had Impersonated him,
Mr. Pendergast said, fitted Stedman ex
actly. A few days later the manager of
Mouquln's Restaurant called Mr. Pender
gast on the telephone and Informed him
that a S50 and a J170 check bearing his
name had been returned from the bank
as no good. It is alleged that there was
a check for 3270 purporting to bear
Pendergast's signature In payment for
three cases of wine from Mouquln's.

It was a quick Job and the Magistrate,

Douras denied he waa Intoxicated.
