FUEL DICTATOR WANTS ROADS
TO PUT BAN ON ALL FREIGHT
EXCEPT COAL AND FOOD.
Opposed to Scheme
Five-Day Shutdown Ends With
Transportation Still Disorganized.
Washington. I). C. Jan. 22. An
ursent recommendation that an em
haro be declared for a few days on
acceptance by the railroads of any
freijrht except coal ani food was sub
mitted to Director General McAdoo
tonisht by the fuel administration.
This action is imperative. Adminis
trator Gartield said to assure ade
quate movement of fuel during the
rest of the week, when the greneral
transportation situation east of the
Mississippi threatens to become worse
daily owinc: to the prolonged strain
m railroads of deep snows and in
tensely cold weather. The situation
in New York City is said to be des
perate. Ti.nijrht the five-day period of in
dustrial suspension ended, and with
the resumption of manufacturing to
morrow, railroad officials look for a
new flood cf traffic which the rail
roads cannot handle until normal
eat her is restored.
study closely Dr. Garfield's figures
showing how coal production had
been curtailed in recent weeks and
to take whatever action seemed best.
Meanwhile, he and Dr. Garfield set
about devising a scheme by which
fuel will be transported from mines
to consumers over the shortest pos
sible routes. -
By this means, it is planned to
save many thousand miles of need
less hauling, and devote locomotives
and labor thus conserved to trans
porting greater quantities to regions
where the coal shortage "threatens to
become more acute.
Already Have Priority.
Director General McAdoo was not
inclined to look with favor on the
embargo proposal. He held that
under government operations and
consequent pooling of facilities and
short haul routing, the railroads
would be able to clear all freight
without priority and without em
bargoes. Coal and food already have
preference over all other classes of
freight, he pointed out.
Mr. McAdoo promised, however, to
Will Work Out Plan.
A committee of two ofiicials from
the railroad and the fuel adminis
trations will work out a plan, which
may be based on a division of the
east into districts, each of which is
to get its coal mainly from a desig
nated mining area. Howard Elliott
president of the New Haven and A.
G. Gutheim, an oHIcial of the inter
state commerce commission's car
service bureau, will represent the
railroad administration on this com
mittee. The necessity for some new meth
od of dealing with the coal trans
portation problem was emphasized by
scores of reports that weather con
ditions were as bad or worse than
at any time since the unprecedented
period of cold and stormy weather
started two weeks ago.
Heavy snow throughout New York
and New England in Pennsylvania.
West Virginia and elsewhere, made
traffic movement extremely slow,
and cut the supply of empty cars to
coal mines far btlow even the late
sub-normal supply.
Goes to Hones First.
The bright phase of the situation
was a repoxt of Fuel Administrator
Garfield, that ships were being
bunkered more rapidly than last
week, and that coal was going in
suflicient quantities to domestic con
sumers. T,hese were the main pur
poses of the industrial curtailment
order.
Fuel administration officials call
ed attention to the fact that coal will
continue to move first to household
users, public utilities, public institu
tions and ships since that part of
the curtailment order creating a

It was evident that the fuel ad
ministration was disappointed in
that the order did not relieve rail
road congestion as much as hoped
for. Weather conditions were blam
ed for this, but it wasclear also that
fuel administration officials felt that
a general embargo, against the re
ceipt of freight during the five-day
closing period would have helped
materially in this respect.
Garfield's Statement.
Dr. Garlield said:
"Our reports show that the prime
purpose sought to be accomplished
by the regulation, the bmikering of
ships and the supply of domestic
consumers and public utilities with
coal, have been greatly served.
"Local officials of the fuel admin
istration in all parts of the east re
ported that consumers, on the xre
ferred list in the industrial curtail
ment order were being given the
full benefit of the coal moving into
the consuming territory.
"As a result of the patriotic co
operation of American industry, cap
ital and labor, the way has been
cleared for the prompt bunkering of
ships which long were tied up at
Atlantic ports, waiting to carry vital
ly needed supplies to the American
forces abroad and to the nations as
sociated with the United States In
the war."

Fr"m Wpflnfplay's lni1y.
Yesterday the students of the High
School had a treat in the form of
a talk given by Charles Dovoy.
Mr. Dovey gave a very entertaining
address concerning life aboard one
of Uncle Sam's big ships.
This was very interesting for the
pupils had not as yet heard any
thing about navy life, though they
had heard several talks concerning
life .in the army.
The members of the boys and girls
Glee clubs showed their spirit and
patriotism by turning out in a body
to sing at the Parmele last night.
The score of last Friday's basket
ball game given in Saturday's paper
was 14 to 4 in favor of Plattsmouth.
This is an error and we take this
time to correct it. The score was
40 to 14 in favor of 1'lattsmouth.
The squad was not so successful
when they journeyed to Murdock to
play the return game. Saturday
evening.
They were at a disadvantage for
the ceiling of the hall they played
in was low and the floor was rough.
This makes a great difference since
the boys have been used to playing
in a hall with a high ceiling and
waxed floors.
Even at that it wasn't a bad
score: 14 to 10 in favor of Murdock.
The squad has played four games
this season, losing but this one.
A High School paper is a new
enterprise which started in the High
School this year. It is to be a paper
printed once a month in magazine
form and is to contain the "doings"
of different school societies and ac

subscriptions from the pupils and
advertisements from the different
business firms in the city.
It is a big undertaking and the
school earnestly solicits support from
the business men.

Constitutional Provision Prohibiting
Imprisonment For Debt
Not Violated.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 21. Nebraska
men who refuse without good caue
to pay judgment for alimony are
guilty of a misdemeanor and may be j
imprisoned from three to six months
in county jail for each offense. The
supreme court has so decided in the
ease of LeRoy Fussell of Otoe coun
ty. The court holds that a judg
ment for alimony is not a debt in
the ordinary sense of the term and
that the legislative act of 1915 pro
viding for imprisonment is not in
violation of section 20, article 1 of
fhe constitution of the state which
provides that no person shall be im
prisoned in any civil action for
debt.
This act was passed by the legis
lature under peculiar circumstances.
After the bill had been killed in the
state senate a woman who had been
stung in the matrimonial game came
upon the floor of the senate and con
verted a sufficient number of mem
bers to turn the tables and the bill
was passed and became a law. Its
validity is new upheld by the su
preme court.
1
The act was attacked by Attorney
Moran of Nebraska City on - behalf
of the defendant Fussei. Upon John
L. Cutright, one of the young assist
ants of Attorney General Reed devol
ed the duty of briefing the case on
behalf of the state and arguing the
suit before the supreme court. His
contentions in support of the law
are upheld by the court. Judge F.
G. Hamer wrote the opinion of the
court affirming the judgment of the
lower court. Fussei was found guil
ty in the district court of Otoe coun
ty on eleven counts charging refusal
to pay alimony for the support of his
child. He was sentenced to three
months in Jail on each count, to be
served concurrently, and to pay the
costs.
The district court of Otoe county
decreed that Fussei should pay $10
a month, commencing January 1,
1915 for the support of his minor
child. Eva Louise Fussei. He was
later prosecuted for failure to pay.
Every objection raised by Fussei
as defendant is overruled by the su
preme court. His first was that the
act was ex post facto. The act is an
independent act and the supreme
court suggests that it was evidently
so drawn to give district court pow
er to enforce orders and decrees in
divorce cases. Ordinarily the court
would have such power by contempt
proceedings, but the supreme court
had previously held in two different
cases that a decree for permanent
alimony is not so enforceable.
The supreme court finds that the
legislature had power to enact such
a law. The defendant not being
guilty of any crime at the time it
was enacted it could not be said to
be operative as ex post facto law as
to him. He did not refuse to com
ply with the decree of divorce until
after the law went into effect.
On and after January 1st, we will do a
strictly cash business.
Positively Eo Credit!
J. E. EOTASO
The supreme court holds that the j
act is not in conflict with section 10,
article 1 of the federal constitution,
or the state constitution as an ex
post fac.to law; that the debt is not
a debt in the ordinary sense of the
term, and that the act is not in vio
lation of that section of the consti
tution which forbids imprisonment
for debt.
The court further holds that the
venue was properly alleged in the
complaint giving the name of the
state and county and that the suit
was properly brought in the district
court of Otoe county in which the
decree of divorce proceedings was
tendered. The decision says error
cannot be predicted in a misdemean
or case on the ground that the coun
ty attorney called to his assistance
another lawyer without the order of
the court.

HEALTH HAS A CASH VALUE
This truth is self-evident. Health
is even the only kind of wealth pos
sessed by most people. And because
the stomach is the fundamental ba
sis of health, it is extremely neces
sary to be constantly on the watch
to help the intestines to eliminate
all waste and poisonous materials of
which the system must be freed, if
the machinery of life is to run
smothly on. Ti mer's American Elix
ir of Bitter Wine is the most reliaMe
remedy in case of need. If you have
any stomach trouble, take Triner's
I American Elixir. You will see that
it3 reputation is justilied. Price

suffering from rheumatism, neu
ralgia, lumbago, etc., because they
do not know Trirrer's Liniment. We
