THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 17, 1918,
HAWKEYES WANT
TO BUY COAL IN
EASTEM STATES
Governor Harding Hteads Dele
gation to Capital With This
End in View; McHugh May
Aid War Industries Board.
Wthlnrtoa Baraaa of The
Omaha Bee, 1811 CJ Street.
Washington, March 16. (Special
Telegram.) A delegation of Hawk
eyes including Governor W. L.
Harding of Des Moines; -Charles
Webster of Waucoma, la., member of
the fuel administration; AV..F. Shep
herd of Harlan, Senator W. G. Has
kell of Cedar Rapid's, and A. C. John
son of Dubuque, arrived in Washing
ton today to prevent, if possible a
repetition of last wmterY coal situa
tion so far as Iowa is concerned. .,
The delegation seeks' first to have
the price of coal established so that
the consuming public may feel at ease
about buying coal in May June July
or August with the assurance that the
price will remain fixed. '
The delegation also is here to pro
test against Iowa being placed in a
zone that will prohibit i(s purchase of
coal, and this particularly relates to
bituminous -oal in the event that coal
is not stored early, if necessary, in
West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Il
linois and Ohio. t ,
The members . had ? a conference
with officials of the fuel commission
today, where their suggestions were
received with attention. . They were
not able to see Fuel Administrator
Garfield on account of his mother's
death, but will continue ther confer
ence with officials tomorrow.
Not After Depot.
Governor Harding said his business
in Washington primarily was to get
the coal situation adjusted for next
winter and not wait until mid-summer,
when there would be such a jam
that nobody would be satisfied.
When asked if he "was here to urge
the establishment of a quartermaster's
depot at Des' Moines, he said:
"Most emphatically not, my trip is
to get the coal situation well in hand,
that is all."
Frederick Heckman, representing a
number of Omaha contractors, while in
Washington recently, complained that
there is a disposition on the part of
officials of the war industries board
wholly to ignore western contractors,
and was given to understand by one
of the officials of the cantonment
divisions that no contracts were to be
let to western firms, but , instead,
would go to eastern firms.
Congressman Lobeck being ap
praised of these rumored discrimina
tions addressed a letter to Daniel Wil
lard, chairman of the War Industry
board, asking if such a policy had
been determined on.
"If this be true it is to be regretted,"
said the congressman, "as we of the
western states consider ourselves a
part s of the United States and are,
contributing our lull share to the
conduct of the war in men.money,
and material, I understand tne infor
mation as to the discrimination alleged
was conveyed by Captain Alfred H.
Granger of the building department
of the Council of National Defense."
Today a letter was received by Con
gressman Lobeck from xaptain
Granger in which he says: "When
the group of Omaha contractors
called upon ns, I had the privilege of
talking to them personally and I can
not understand how they went away
with the impression that there was to
be any. discrimination against western
firms in the recommendation of con
tracts for government construction
work. - ' " ' .
! Not "Cutting Wert. '
"I distinctly remember telling them
absolutely the opposite of this. My
talk 'with them was. most pleasant
and I felt that they went away satis
fied that I .would do everything in my
power , personally to. bring .western
men before the committee." ,
Captain Granger states that when
Horace Burt was president of the
Union Pacific he designed and super
Intended the Union station in Oma
ha and being a western man himself
with all his -interests in the middle.
west he cannot understand how the
erroneous impression got abroad.
He further states that information
from the cantonment division is that
a great tdeal of work this summer
will be spread throughout the country
and it: is 'his desire that this w'ork
be given to western contractors. t
' Binder- Twine : Relief. Z".
Senator Hitchcock stated today he
had been informed that a Committee
of five persons is to be appointed on
fertilizer licenses to operate jointly
with the Department of Agriculture
and the food administration and that
just as soon as rules and regulations
are promulgated Nebraska producers
of potash will be expected to come
under those regulations'.
Senator Hitchcock also stated that
he had been, advised by the food ad
ministration" that' if the farmer of
Nebraska cannot make satisfactory
prices with dealers in binder twine,
that the food administration will fill
orders for them. It was the aim of
the food administration to . equalize
the burden between producer and
consumer and if Nebraska farmers
think they are sot getting a square
deal he urges them to take up the
matter with , Mr. Hoover's depart
ment Further the letter advises that

KIECKHEFER STILL
IS BILLIARD CHAMP
Chicago Cue Expert Wins From
Bob Cannefax of St. Louis
by Score of 150
to 142.
Cfiicago, March 16. Augie" Kieck
hefer of Chicago retained his title as
world's three-cushion billiard cham
pion by defeating Robert Canncfax
of St. Louis, 54 to 42, in tonight's
play, giving him a total of 150 for
the three nights' play against Canne
fax'sl42. Kieckhefer led by 18 points at one
time tonight, but Cannefax by a bril
liant spurt came within four points of
catching him. Tonights' block went 64
innings.
Tonight's block was the most spec
tacular of the match. Except for one
slump by Cannefax, each man played
in wonderful form and each repeated
ly made seemingly impossible shots.
Kieckhefer, four points behind at
the start of the block, quickly passed
Lannetax, who was able to score only
16 points in the first 38 innings.
Kieckhefer at this stage led, 134 to
116. but the St. Louis player in the
next 18 frames scored 20 times, while
Kieckhefer scored only nine. During
this spurt, Cannefax discarded his
safety play and made many sensa
tional shots. ,
Kieckhefer then regained his stroke,
however, and his last three points
came on unusually difficult chances.
. Cannefax's high run tonight was
five and Kieckbefer's four. Cannefax's
play was erratic, while the champion
shot a steady game. Cannefax at times
resorted to deliberate safety to 6low
up Kieckhefer, having nine safeties
called on him, but following only
three of them, did Kieckhe:'er fail to
score.
The score: j.

TEUTON LEADERS
IN FIGHT OVER
BALTIC STATES
General Staff Wants Dynastic
Questions Settled as It De
crees; Call Crown
Council.
(By Associated Treea.)
Washington, March 16. Serious
differences between the German civil
government and the military leaders
over the plan of the general staff to
annex the Russian Baltic provinces
are rnnrrrt in an official HisnatrVi
I based nnnn fisrman nrvtnanrr r.
ports received here today from
France. The dispatch says:
"A crown council at which were
present Emperor William, , Marshall
von Hindenburg, Count von Hertling
and many notable personages, has
been held to deliberate upon various
questions relative to the conclusion
of peace with Russia, the offer made
the emperor of the ducal crown of
Courland and finally to the affairs of
Roumania and Finland. .
DIFFERENCES ARISE.
Serious differences have arisen be
tween the majority of the Reichstag
and the government on one side and
great headquarters on the other.
These divergent views concern
dynastic questions and the attaching
to Germany of the four Russian Bal
tic provinces of Livonia, Esthcnia,
Courland and Lithuania, as well as the
questions of the rectification of the
frontiers of Poland.
GENERAL STAFF OBDURATE.
The general staff sunoorted bv the
right desires the immediate solution of
all these problems in a manner fav
orable to Germany. The civil govern
ment, which considers the present sit
uation far from stable prefers to tem
porize. Germany's military -and poli
tical victories in Russia will gave her
little economic benefit immediately in ,
the opinion of American officals fa
miliar with the resources of the slav
territory.
Notimore than 10.000.000 bushels
of grain is believed to be available
now in eastern and southern Russia,
but in Uctober tt is possible that from
30,000,000 to 40,000,000 bushels will be
available from the new crop.
ferliaps more important than eram
will be the vast resources of the Si
berian dairy farms, which have been
developed by German capital and
which will begin to supply in June
the fats for which Germany admitted
ly has been suffering.
No Big Grain Stores.
SenM-ofiicial reports of the capture
of 80,000,000 bushels of grain in
Roumania are ridiculed by officials
here on the strength of reports from
American Red Cross workers and
others who have been in Roumania
recently. They say there was no grain
to be bought in the open market and
that even when commandeered .cars
were sent under guard to remote reg
ions, only limited quantities could be
obtained and those were subject to
pilfering fyy the needy population.
Russia always has sold its grain
rapidly after the harvest, because
there are few facilities for storage
and officials here believe little stored
grain remains. Supporting this belief
are reports 'that last gear's crop in
Russia were below normal and the
revolution has further curtailed pro
duction. Meat animals obtained in Russia un
doubtedly will help Germany to some
extent, but the amount of them will
not be large. Many are in remote
sections. The same thing is true of
the vast mineral resources, which are
found chicflx in the Ural mountains,
in mines which have been neglected
of late and reached only by a tele
phone system that has lost much of
its efficiency.

Fills Stomach
With Hew Energy
Weak, Worn Out, Gaity, Sour Stom
ach Revived and Made to Enjoy
Food With Stuart Dys-
. peptia Tablet.
Most of us eat three times a day
and often forget that each meal
should be disposed of in the stomach
to make room for the next. The fail
ure of the stomach to do this is called
indigestion or dyspepsia, with its sour
risings, gas, rumblings, pain, depres
sion and the feeling of stuffiness
when breathing is difficult.
The most effective remedy imd the
most reliable one, because you can
get it at any drug store in the United
States or Canada, is Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets, at 50 cents a box. Instead
of depriving yourself of food or going
on a starvation diet simply keep on
as you have and let these tablets
straighten out your stomach, digest
the food, and keep you in the fight.

Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
1 Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right
with the system full
of poisons.
Millions of folks bathe internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. "What's an inside bath?"
you say. Well,, it is guaranteed to per
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, immediately upon aris
ing "in the morning, drink a glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it. This is a
very excellent health measure. It is
intended to flush the stomach, liver,
kidneys and the thirty feet of intes
tines 7of the previous day's waste,
sour bile and indigestible material
left over Snathe body which if not
eliminated every day, become food
for the millions of bacteria which in
fest the bowels, the quick result is
poisons and toxins which are then
absorbed into the blood causing head
aches, bilious attacks, foul breath,
bad taste, colds, stomach trouble,
kidney misery, sleeplessness, impure
blood and all sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain a Quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This
wull cost very little, but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation. Adv.
