There wns little change In the coal
shmtagc situation yesterda) Coal was
moving slowly from the mines and the
lecelpts at tidewater fell off from Sat

next twenty-four hours approximately

Saturday's figures were estimated to b
about la.dOO torn". n, upilnst a normal
demand of from S.'.nno to 15,000 tons.
A repi emulative of Tun Sun toured
the ynils and docks from 1'erth .xmboy
to rdcewater jeslerday, and while let
ters kepi arriving at Tub Sun orflce
sjwrtlntr that hundreds of empty cars
were lying on the tracks at New Jersey
terminals and that the railroads were
dually not helping overcome thn coal
crisis of New York none of these
Klorles could be substantiated In fact
from a personal view of conditions.
At a meeting of 5ni) small dealers on
Saturday night a tentative, organization
whs formed to he Known as the United
Hebrew Itetall coal Dealers Association.
It was openly charsed nt the meeting
that cellar dealers are being charged
by the coal cartels nt the rate of $20 to
tiS.lio a ton for coal that thu carters
purchase from the wholesaler at the
Oovernnient price of from $S.r0 to JO 10
a ton.
A committee of these dealers was ap
pointed to confer with the Manhattan
Fuel Administrator, and Kceo Schley
has ananged that this meeting shall
take placo at 11 o'clock this morning

Buenos Atrks, Dec. 23. Only tho
Utmost vitrllince or ratrols and mounted .
troopa prevented anti-German rioting
yesterday. The. downtown streets were
crowded with Christmas shoppers and
ereral attempts were made to organize
demonstrations. Students and others
marched to La Union Hulldlng chanting
1C OO0 pesos," which was the amount I
of thn monthly subsidy said to have been
obtained from llerlln by Count von Lux-
ourg, the drvned (Ierman Minister.
The crowds dispersed when charged bv
troops, put patrols trotted through the
downtown section all night preventing I
marching crowds from Joining each
other. The publication of the additional I
i.uxourg uespaionc nas caused a new
outbreak of bitterness against Herman
and It is expected It will be voiced In
Congress this week.
As a result of the revelations that the
Hermans had been paying a mnnthly

Wahiiinoton, Doc. 2.1. Washington U
Cappa, formerly chief constructor of the
navy and recently general manager of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, on
whose shoulders much of the blame for
the delay In the hlp programme has
been placed, probably will be asked to
appear before tho Senate Investigating
committee and tell hit side of the con
troversy. The committee appears satisfied with
the prospects of the Shipping Hoard un
der Its present management. It has been
brought out In the Investigation that the
primary cause of the delays In the pro
gramme were directly due to the au
thority divided between the chairman of,
the Whipping Hoard &nd the general man
ager of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion. This' has been eliminated, power
and responsibility being centred In the
rhalrman of the board and any fault In
the future will be attributed directly to
him.
It Is said that It has been the plan of
some memhers of the lnestlgatlng com
mittee since the beginning to nsk Ad
miral Capps tn appear and relate his
side of the controversy and what led In
the delays, particularly In the wooden
ship programme. Admiral Capp", having
lately severed his connection with tho
Emergency Tleet Corporation, has not
desired to go before Ihe committee be
cause It might appear to place him In
the position of a disgruntled official who
had been practically ousted.
If he had any facts reflecting on the
ability or Judgment of his former as
sociates tills might sere to induce
Ihe committee to an opt such voluntary
testimony with a grain of salt, taking
Into consideration tho position In which
the Admiral would appear.
Now, however, the. committee has
heard much of the blame for all of the
delays in carrying out the ship pro
gramme put directly on Admiral Capps,
and It Is conceded that the Admiral
should have a full and fair opportunity
to throw any light on the situation from
hi" side and to clear himself if he can.
The committee will not meet ngaln un
til Wednesday.
