This will be the last metting for the summer, and all young people of the various societies of the city who are affiliating are urged to be present PLENTY OF CARS IS ONLY HOPE FOR GOAL IN WINTER-MORROW (By Associated P?ess) WASHINGTON, July 10. Adequate facilities for coal shipments is the principal remedy for abnormal speculative prices, J. D. A. Morrow, vicepresident of the National Coal association, today told the interstate com merce commission in making an appeal for a continuation of a 30-day priority order for open top cars at bituminous coal mines. Acute shortage of coal will prevail as long as there is an inadequate sup-j piy or cars ai iut) uimes, tie nisei itu, adding that ample shipments of coal will decrease speculative prices. At least 545,000,000 tons of coal will be required for the current year ending March 31, the witness stated, pointing out that much of this will be needed to make up a shortage of 15,000,000 tons that ordinarily would have been in reserve last April. Since that time shipments from the mines have been 1,245,000 tons a week below the requirements, making a total shortgage of between 30,000,000 to 35,000,000 tons, he declared. Production 'Way Short An average weekly production of 14,000,000 tons should be maintained until Dec. 1, Mr. Morrow said, if the country is to have the aggregate production needed to make up the deficit and carry it through the winter. At present the weekly production Is approximately 10,400,000 tons, he stated. The witness denied that a great volume of export coal business has produced a shortage in this country. "The total export of bituminous coal to July 1 was only 8,000,000 tons," he said, "but in the total domestic shortage was approximately 35,000,000 tons." An embargo on coal would he "a rank discrimination against the coal producer," Mr. Morrow testified, adding that It was not practical to prohibit overseas movement of coal, even if determined upon. Much coal originating on railroads, especially in the south, could not be utilized except through export, he said. Expects to Complete Today The commission, with only a few more witnesses to be heard, expected to complete today its hearings. Much divergent testimony has been placed before the commission during the several days of its investigation. Some witnesses have urged that the order be modified so that certain industries might share in the car distribution while other interests, particularly representatives of states where a coal shortage this winter threatens, have insisted on the necessity for a strict enforcement of the policy. Representatives of the miners who testified yesterday argued that an adequate car supply to the mines would Insure a greater coal production and a consequent reduction In the price. Cap I eim in. r itai DtocR Return Be Made in July Logan Capital stock tax returns, for the period ending June 30, 1921, must be filed in July, 1920, A. N. Logan, revenue collector, announced Saturday. "The blanks (Form 707) are now ready. All corporations that have not already received this form should apply for it soon at the local revenue office here. All returns in Wayne County should be rent to the office for record therein," said Mr. Logan. "The following quotation from the fatept revised regulations, approved June 21, 1920, Is found on page one of said Form 707, and should be carefully studied: " 'Every corporation must file a return or submit conclusive evidence that it Is not liable. Determination of liability rests with the commissioner. Tliis applies to companies claiming exemption on account of not being engaged in business or as personal service corporations, etc., under Section 231, Title II, of the Revenue Act of 1918. See Arts. 28 and 31, Regulations 50, Revised.' "Several Wayne county corporations failing to file report in July, 1919, were called on to file delinquent returns and pay penalties. This annoyance to taxpayer and collector may be avoided this July, 1920, by attention to this matter in time." Perry Williams Almost Struck hy A Ballet Perry T. Williams, local dealer in tombstones and monuments, thought for a moment Friday that he was the picked victim of assassins. While standing in his garage at Sixth and Southwest A streets yesterday, Mr. Williams heard the zip-p-p of a bullet through the leaves of a tree. The bullet sailed through the doorway, strucki the floor and glanced to a box, where it fell to the ground. Mr. Williams could find no one near. As the report of tho gun from which the bullet was fired could not be heard, it is thought that it was discharged from a distance. Mr. Williams is now carrying the little bit of lead as a souvenir. Robert Kinnett Is Dead Robert Lewis Kinnett, 9 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis F. Kinnett, one and one-half miles south of Greensfork, died at 9:15 a. m. Saturday. He is survived by his parents and two sisters, Mildred and Hattie. The body will be shipped to Tipton, Ind., for burial.
