PRICE EIGHT CENTS NAVY-7 ARMY-O IN CLASSIC Spectacular Contest is Won in Last Quarler of Play by Midshipman Eleven SOCIETY ATTENDS _at-. New Tork, Nov, 27.—Once back in a year of dawn some wise philosopher said that a straight lino was tho shortest way between two points. This aftemoon In front of 40,000 flower-bedecked, fur-clad spectators, the Na-vy proved that the old rule had lost none of its veracity. The Na-vy beat the Army 7 to 0 in their twenty-third annual battle. Ben Gund Koehler, a twenty-one year old boy of ! 5S pounds frm Geneva, Xebraska, scored the touchdown that gave the midshipmen Nictory and evened thc count with thc Army of eleven games to eleven in a thirty-year period. BUT—to young Clyde I-Cing, who booted the Navy to a \'ictory last year and who stroked the Na\'j- crew to a world's record at Brussels last sum¬ mer; to Eddie Wilkie. EUwood. Indiana the giant hea\'>'woight wrestler from the Olympic games; to "Countrj-" Moore, the tackle from the mountains of X'irpinia and to Harry Albert BoUes, of Seattle, goes the credit for drawing the straightest line between victory and defeat. That line of young admirals opened holes In the heavy army defense that a fleet of motor trucks could have driven through. And through the holes th.at these young husky midshipmen opened, the spectacular young Bon (^und Koehler plunged for his touchdown. Secretary K.Tker, fJeneral Pershing, Genei-al MrArthur and all the striped and braided offiiers of the army were there on the sirle lines to see the bril¬ liant Waltei- Isdward Fren'h, tho Army tank, of ^^lrristown, N. J., stop¬ ped before he started. Secretary D.iniols and all the admir- .als of the navy with their arms crowd¬ ed with gilt tape were there to see the glorious triumph of the Navy over the ,\rniy. William G. McAdoo, Herbert Hoover, .1. P. Morgan, Judge Landis, supreme head of organized baseball and five itate governors, the cre.am of New V-.rk society who might be classed as oaucrals, were there, sitting in the r,.«.y shadows that settled down on ¦^oogan's Bluffs, content to see the better team win. An Earned Victe^ry. The bettor team won—.all agreed. For two long jieriodg fought in the Navy territory-, through thirty minutes of battle fought in tho sh.Tdow of tlieir OT^Ti goal posts, the Na\T team cansed its bluo-Manketed goat on the side linos to bleat with anxiety. l"nr two periods and a half of a bit- lerly fought battle, the Army out- manuvered the N.Tvy. For thirty- seven and a, h.ilf minutes of .a man- to-man conflict the N.a\-y st.ands were moaning—"cnn ^hoy hold against it?" Then .suddenly in the dying minutes of the third quarter, aa a bolt from the dusk that wa.s gathering over the cro-wded amphitheater, the Navy punch was loosed. Tho mid.'^liipmen took the ball in midfield. Twenty-year-old Vincent Paul Con¬ roy, <rf Oc-den. I'tah. and the youth¬ ful Ko^hlor. broke thronch the holes; Ihat the gallant line opened for yards 1 and yards. I The Army dofonse rollqpsod. ] l'p in the stands whore the gray- cI.Td cjidets were gritting thoir teeth! until their jaws hurt wifh exhortations j oi "hold 'em .A.rmy" -<lown on the field ] -where th» tminers were running out: dashing cold water in the faces of thel faltering young generals—all over the j big hollow, filird with humanity, thei huroh spread that the .Army was gone. The .\rmy was gone. | Cr-ss-Cross Play A criss-cross play on the 12-yeard line worked.. Karly in the final period Conroy. the Ogden boy, whose hands resembled those of a dreadnought coal j heaver, took a pass from center, feinted a run to the loft, passed the hall to Bon Gund Koehler and he squirmed through the Army line for a touch- doTvn. Mr. Clyde Iving, he of the educated toe. made the count 7 to 0 with a per¬ fect goal from touchdown. The game was over then. Conroy, by two fumbles on the Army's 10-yard line In the fourth period pre¬ vented what seemed like a sure second touchdown. But the middles were sat- i.^fled. The cadet.<< bet thoir lives and future ..tl French. But lie wa.s a marked man from the fir.st to the last whistle. He did not get away for varying runs from from ten to thirty ynrds. but neVer when those runs would mean a touch- do-wn. Captain Eddie Ewen, of Portsmouth, N. H., covered himself with glory in the last game he -will play for the Na%T. He was a mass of flying legs ^nd arms in the midst of the .\rmy in¬ terference and three times he threw the great French, the socond best point scorer of the East ,for_ fifteen yard losses. The Army had nothing but French. When he was stopped all hope was lost. And thc Na\-y stopped him in his tracks. The battle was the ustial exhibition of color and spectacle. The midshipmen In their trim look¬ ing blue were there 1500 strong, the • cadets In their s-ombre grey held forth in equal numbers. French Hero For Army The great hero of Verdun, General Ni velle, of the Flench army, was an Army rooter. The Nav>- goat was there and he did a hundred miles or more up and do-wn the sidelines, dragged by two crazy mishipmcn. who forgot the feelings of the goat in their gloating over victory. Continued On Page 4) Slate Mixture Makes Coal Useless; Profiteering Plot Alleged To Exist Complaints. that anthracite coal shipped to distant cities contains so much slate and refuse as to make the burning of the fuel.impossible, reached this city yesterday as a factor in the fuel famine that is said to exist in mamy cities of the East, in some cases entire shipments of coal sent from the anthracite fields have been rejected and turned back by dealers and con¬ sumers. Tlie result has been a rising indignation that may take the form of a demand for an official investigation into the coal industry. One of the complaints received here came from New Haven, Conn. In that city one dealer declared that during the past three or four months thousemds of tons of coal shipped into New Haven and delivered to householders were from 33 to 50 per cent composed of slate. The first di.-jcovery of slate in the coal by the New England people led to the belief that they had received a poor shipment through mistake. When subsequent orders brought cm equal amount of non- burnable fuel, the dealers began refusing to accept shipments that showed the waste. One New Haven dealer was forced by his customers to remove 50 tons that had been placed in bins at home. The largest shipment refused consisted of three barges loaded with anthracite product after being sent from Perth Amboy to New Haven, says the New Haven Register. A dealer in Connecticut divides the blame between the coal companies and the wholesale shippers at tidewater points. "It ie a bare-faced scheme," he asserted, "and while the slate and coal mixture originates at the mines, the local dealers handling it are a party to the deception. It is easy to tell the difference between slate having the appearance of coal, and the real article. At the mines all slate is combed out from the coal and cast aside. Evidently for swindling purposes, this has been mixed at the points of shipping and the p-jblic defrauded through the agency of unreliable agents." « In recent weeks representatives of many distant cities have come here for the purpose of placing orders for their local sup¬ plies. Invariably they have been told that shipments are being made as fast as possible, but that the local demand must be taken care of first. A representative of a local company de¬ clared that it vrill require constant work between the present time and the first of January before the fuel famine can be abated.

Nov'. 27.—Thc Volstead law will neither bo "dampened" nor made "more dusty" during the next ye.ar, Representati%-o Volstead of Minnesota, author of the .act, pre¬ dicted upon his return to Washington today. Volstead said th,at he had no amend¬ ments to his l.Tw to suggest and had he.ord of none that would demand the attention of the house .iudiciary com¬ mittee, of which he is ch.iirman. "I am sure no amendments of any kind to the prohibition enforcement rift will be considered during the com¬ ing short session of Congress," he said. "Then during the special session there will be so m^iny other matters of greater import,ance that if there j^hould be any dem-ind for amendments, final action could not be taken until the regiilsr .session of the new Con¬ gress which begins in December. 1921. "T hoUovp that the law Is working well and that much of the opposition tn prohibition is dying out throughout the country. If anyone does not think that prohibition is here to stay, he is badly mistaken." Volstead said that he is receiving fewpir letter$ every day demanding that the maximum alcoholic content of bever.ages classed as intoxicating be raised. The pre.sent law declares in¬ toxicating any beverage containing' more than one half of one per cent of alcohol. New Congress Dry. Tlie new Congross, in the opinion of Volstead, will he drier than the present one. and he believes any proposal to restore light wines and beer would be certain to f,ail. The prohibition legis¬ lator pointed eut the several "wet" were canght In the Republican land¬ slide. Many new faces will appear on the judiciary committee, which frames all prohibition enforcement legislation dnring the special session of the new Congress to be called by President- olect Harding. Three Democrats, who kd the fight on the House floor against the Volstead law. ' will be missing. They are Representatives Card of Ohio. Igoe of Missouri, and Steele of Penn¬ sylvania. All declined to be candidates for re-election. Five new Democrats must be appointed to the committee .-ird Volstead pointed out that in the new Congress Democrats from the "wet" districts of the Xorth will be so scarce that "dn,"s" from the South probably will have to be apj)ointed to fill all the vacancies. Volstead does not believe that more than five or six of the judiciary committe members in the noxt Congress will bo "wets." No indication has l.e^n received by the judiciary committee chairman that the treasury department at the coming short session would recommend any changes in the Volstead law. AN ALARMIST APPEAL Washington, Nov. 27.—President¬ elect Harding Is a member of a Marlon, Ohio, employers association similar to those working to destroy collective bargaining and bring about auto¬ cratic control of industry-, Samuel Gompers. president of thc American Federation of Labor, charged in an editorial In the issue of the "Feder- ationlst," official publication of organ- 'Ized labor, made 'public today. These employers associations which have been waiting years to set up an Industrial oligarchy. according to Gompers, "found great encouragement in the election results In geneftil." Therefore, Gompers argues, "fears may be expressed properly" whetheif these employers will receive "official oncouragement. "But if reaction considers the elec¬ tion as a mandate to destroy human freedom, it Is mistaken and -will dis¬ cover Its mistake," Gompers warns. Gompers called attention to post¬ election editorials published by a well knp-wn daily financial newspaper of New Tork and by other newspapers. The financial newspaper's editorial, as quoted by Gompers, called for amend¬ ments to the "unprincipled Clayton act exempting the A. E. of L. and unions generally from operation of the anti¬ trust law." An editorial In the Hearst news¬ papers called for extension of the ter¬ ritory of the United States straight south to the Panama canal, Gompers said. These editorials and the issuance of several injunctions against strikers are held up by Gompers a.s indicative of "what it may be assumed is the plan and the scheme of reaction." "However." Compors warned, "it is one thing to plan and another to exe¬ cute. The dream of a great oligarchp' nf employers long ha.« been in the minds of those who now speak exult- ingly. Thoy have long waited for a day in which tho workers would be Bums From Stove May Prove Fatal Btirns received yesterday when his clothing caught fire frora a kitchen range may result fatally for .\ndrew Boroskl, 13 months old, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Boroski, of Garfield street, Nanticoke.

Washington, Nov. 27.—The British government may refuse to allow the committee of the American commis¬ sion investigating Irish conditions to go to Ireland, according to an opinion expressed tonight In official British circles. The Impression waa given at the State Department at the same time howe\-er. that passports to the British Isles would be granted to at least some of the five members of the committee, but as individuals and not as members of the Irish commission.

New Tork, Nov, 27.—Once back in a year of dawn some wise philosopher said that a straight lino was tho shortest way between two points.
This aftemoon In front of 40,000 flower-bedecked, fur-clad spectators, the Na-vy proved that the old rule had lost none of its veracity.
The Na-vy beat the Army 7 to 0 in their twenty-third annual battle.
Ben Gund Koehler, a twenty-one year old boy of ! 5S pounds frm Geneva, Xebraska, scored the touchdown that gave the midshipmen Nictory and evened thc count with thc Army of eleven games to eleven in a thirty-year period.
BUT—to young Clyde I-Cing, who booted the Navy to a \'ictory last year and who stroked the Na\'j- crew to a world's record at Brussels last sum¬ mer; to Eddie Wilkie. EUwood. Indiana the giant hea\'>'woight wrestler from the Olympic games; to "Countrj-" Moore, the tackle from the mountains of X'irpinia and to Harry Albert BoUes, of Seattle, goes the credit for drawing the straightest line between victory and defeat.
That line of young admirals opened holes In the heavy army defense that a fleet of motor trucks could have driven through.
And through the holes th.at these young husky midshipmen opened, the spectacular young Bon (^und Koehler plunged for his touchdown.
Secretary K.Tker, fJeneral Pershing, Genei-al MrArthur and all the striped and braided offiiers of the army were there on the sirle lines to see the bril¬ liant Waltei- Isdward Fren'h, tho Army tank, of ^^lrristown, N. J., stop¬ ped before he started.
Secretary D.iniols and all the admir- .als of the navy with their arms crowd¬ ed with gilt tape were there to see the glorious triumph of the Navy over the ,\rniy.
William G. McAdoo, Herbert Hoover, .1. P. Morgan, Judge Landis, supreme head of organized baseball and five itate governors, the cre.am of New V-.rk society who might be classed as oaucrals, were there, sitting in the r,.«.y shadows that settled down on ¦^oogan's Bluffs, content to see the better team win.
An Earned Victe^ry.
The bettor team won—.all agreed.
For two long jieriodg fought in the Navy territory-, through thirty minutes of battle fought in tho sh.Tdow of tlieir OT^Ti goal posts, the Na\T team cansed its bluo-Manketed goat on the side linos to bleat with anxiety.
l"nr two periods and a half of a bit- lerly fought battle, the Army out- manuvered the N.Tvy. For thirty- seven and a, h.ilf minutes of .a man- to-man conflict the N.a\-y st.ands were moaning—"cnn ^hoy hold against it?"
Then .suddenly in the dying minutes of the third quarter, aa a bolt from the dusk that wa.s gathering over the cro-wded amphitheater, the Navy punch was loosed.
Tho mid.'^liipmen took the ball in midfield.
