Than Can Be Produced and Transported Kat Fuel Administrator in An i nounclng Plan for Conservation Radical reductions tn the quantity of coal consumed In the manufacture of electricity and gras used for street lighting advertising and store and theater illumination will be put into effect soon by an order which the fuel administration announced yesterday Is in preparation Necessity for further conservation of fuel and the proposal that private eitiaens should be asked to economize in lights became known some days ago The fuel administrations formal announcement that details of such a plan have been worked out says that in every city and village of the country electricity is being wasted in large quantities in the production of light Coal Needs Greater Than Supply The country needs now and for the whole period of the war will need more coal than It can possibly produce and transport says the statement Confronted by this condition the fuel administrator will order radical reductions lit the quantity of coal consumed in the manufacture of electricity and illuminating gas used for the purposes specified While the official order has not yet been signed It is expected that it will provide for closer restrictions in the New England States New York Pennsylvania New Jersey Delaware District of Columbia and Maryland than in other States where the transportation of coal is not such a tremendous problem Only Enough Lights for Safety In any case it is expected the order wlll provide that no theater or other utdoor lights shall be turned on until 4he street lights shall have been lighted Unnecessary daylight use of electric lights and electric advertising displays will probably be shut off altogether The order will deal also with store window lights and will extend to all kinds of fuel including gas and oil The amount of public lighting in any city village or town shall be only so much as may be necessary for safety and the use of lights commonly known as cluster lights for purpose of display or decoration shall be discontinued MontaronieryCommissionersf BpedaitoJ6W9hlngt0B Ppst ftockvUle Md nThjunty commissioners toaay4ignattVnnual tax levy for the year

career which was one of the most remarkable In American criminal history Born with the desire to kill Mre Halliday took a heavy toll of lives before she was sent to the insane asylum Even after her confinement in that Institution she killed the only two women who pitied and befriended her Although convicted of only four murders she was accused of at least four others but was not tried for them In 1893 Mrs Halliday killed her husband Paul Halliday a farmer of Bur linKham Sullivan county bis imbecile son and Mrs Margaret McQuillan and her daughter Sarah a servant in the Halliday home The bodies of Halliday and the women were burled beneath the Halliday shanty and the son was burned to death while he slept Mrs Halliday was convicted of these murders and sentenced to die in the electric chair However it was found that she was Insane and she was sentenced to life Imprisonment Gov Flow er having commuted her sentence She was sent to Matteawan and made eev eral attempts to commlti suicide In 1906 Miss Nellie Wickes a young attendant at the asylum to whom Mrs Halliday had become attached told the woman she planned to leave the Institution for other work Seizing a pair of

chairman of the House District committee were Inserted In the Congressional Record yesterday in a controversy between the two men over the circumstances and conditions of the sale of about 20 acres last spring for an addition for Walter Reed Hospital Col Parker through Representaw tive Greene of Vermont eubmlttted his side of the case Representative Johnson insisted as a condition to the insertion of the Parker communication in the Record that he be accorded opportunity to answer It This was granted and the two statements appear in the RecOrd together Last week said CoL Parkers com

the government for an addition to Walter Reed Hospital at 4000 an acre which I Anally sold for 3000 Makes Patriotic Appeal Col Parker then explains that the Waltier Reed Hospital knowing that he represented former Senator Cameron asked him to negotiate for the ground Mr Cameron first wanted So 000 an acre Col Parker says he advised sale at 4000 an acre At the request of the Secretary of War the property was valued by one of the assessors at 3000 an acre Col Parker then visited Mr Cameron in Harrisburg and made a successful appeal to Him to mingle patriotism with price with the result according to the statement of Col Parker that Tilr Cameron replied that looking at it from that point he would accept 3000 and this was all there was to it I had no interest in the ground either directly or indirectly concludes the Parker statement I did however obtain a statement from the most prominent and conservative real estate men in Washington as to values and they certified as set forth by Mr Johnson This ground was really worth at the time of selling 5000 an acre it is worth that today The statement of Mr Johnson is as usual misleading and on a par with most of his statements Representative Johnson In his statement lays emphasis upon the fact that both In his communication to Representative Greene and in a newspaper notice on the subject Col Parker said VI had no interest in the ground either directly or indirectly Then concluding Mr Johnson says Explained by Col Parker It is unfortunate for CoL Parker that the records inv the office of the recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia contradict those statements Those records show that by deed of conveyance dated March 25 1918 Myron Parker et ux Nellie conveyed 1976 acres to the Unitedi States of America for
