Ninety-One. Cars of Commer

Omaha faced with fortitude yes

strictions and regulations made
necessary by the coal famine, even
though a cold wave, chilling the mer
cury down to four degrees above
zero, visited the city.
The retail stores, which were
open from 10 a. ni. to 5 p."m., were
exceptionally busy during the ab
breviated working day and a stead
ily lowering temperature made the
coal question the real paramount is
sue of the day.
News of the calling off of the

heartened members of the local,
coal committee, but following this
news was received that miners in
Wyoming went on strike yesterday,

Order for Street Cars.
V. M. Jeffers, chairman of the
sub coal committee, issued the fol
lowing order with respect to the
distribution of. street car traffic:
'"To avoid a misunderstanding in
regard to the order publish'ed in the
Sunday papers as to' the hours for
offices to be open:
"It is the order of the committee
that the offices are to be opened at
9:30 a. m. and closed at 3:30 p. m:,
and, the office force dismissed at
3:30 p. m., - -- .-"
"Separate and apart from the sav
ing of fuel, light and power in the
buildings, it is necessary to relieve
the street railway company of peak
loads in the morning and evening
and to do this the hours of different
business occupations have been set
at different periods in order that the
employes of the various concerns
can use street cars at different hours
to reach their places of business in
the morning and return at different
hours in the evening, thus reducing
the demands upon the street railway
and upon the ectric light and
power service.
Banks Close Early.
At the conclusion of a 'meeting of

"We 'find it necessary in ndvmal

Indicted Senator WilF Not .
' , Resist Service of Warrant
Newberry Will Appear in
Court Voluntarily to An
swer Charge of Fraud in
"Election Preferred
Against Him.
Grand Rapids, Mich., Dec. 1.
Unexpected progress was made by
federal officers in preparing the way
for an early trial of, the 135 men,
including U. S. Senator Truman H.
Newberry, who were indicted by
a federal grand jury here late Satur
day, on charges of corruption, fraud
and conspiracy in connection with
the Newberry election campaign in
1918. Service was secured on a
number of those indicted and first
arraignments were held before Fed
eral judge C. W. Sessions, half a
doen of the defendants appearing in
court.
Something of a sensation was
caused when two of those cited in
the true bills, but whose names did
not appear in the list announced
Saturday, came before Jadge Ses
sions and pleaded guilty to counts
contained in the indictments. These
were William E. Rice, a Grand
Rapids printer, who pleaded guilty
to conspiracy and was released
under bond of $1,000 and Allie K.
Moore, formerly a Grand Rapids
newspaper man and later a publish
er at Marquette, Mich., who pleaded
guilty to four of six counts. '
Appear Before Summoned.
Several others of the 121, whose
names had been withheld pending
service of the warrants correctly
suspected they had been named in
the indictment, and appeared volun
tarily in court. They included,
George E. Rogers, former Grand
Rapids alderman r'George K. Welshr
Kent county manager of the New
berry campaign; Charles Carpenter,
a former member of the Grand
Rapids health board and Roman
F. Glocheski, said to have been em
ployed at a salary of $150 a month
to work during the Newberry cam
paign among the Polish residents of
Grand Rapids. All pleaded not
guiltv, Glocheski being held in
$2,500. bail and the others in $1,000
each.

Speculation as to whether New

disposed of when former Circuit
Judge James O. Murfin; of Detroit,
now of the Newberry counsel, an

ator Newberry 'would resist service,
if he desired, on the ground of sen
atorial immunity.
Arraignment of the remainder of
the defendants is expected to spread
over the entire week, but all these
named in the indictments. Judge
Sessions announced, must appear in
court on or before next Monday,
December 8. Trial of the cases will
not be permitted to drag, Judge
Sessrons indicated " today, stating
that an effort would be made to

RANKS OF MINERS
IN COAL FIELDS
STILL UNBROKEN
Number on Strike Swelled by
Others Leaving Posts Drastic
Fuel Regulations in Force.
Chicago, Dec. 1. The ranks of the
uniorf miners in the central' competi
tive field apparently remained un
broken today, the thirty-first of the
strike in the bituminous coal fields.
From other mining centers came re
ports of miners leaving their posts
and only one report was received
of men responding to the posting
of the J4per cent rficrease. But en
couraging news to coal consumers
came from Kansas, where produc
tion of coal in the strip pits of the
Pittsburgh field by volunteer work
ers was started, under troop pro
tection. Operators posted notices of the
wage increase ordered by the gov
ernment, . but the blowing of ths
whistle had no effect except at
Braidwood, 111., where' eight men
reported for work.
Want 31 Per cent Raise. '
-John L. Lewis, acting president
of the United Mine Workers of
America, in a statement issued at
Springfield, 111., declared the strike
will be settled only by agreement
on a 31 per cent increase.
"The mines remained idle"today,"
said Mr. Lewis, "and this is suf
ficient demonstration that the min
ers will not accept tne 14 per cent
increase granted by the fuel admin
istrator." -
With the visible supply of coal
shrinking more rapidly on account
of the -severe cold weather of the
last two days, regional coal commit
tees put into 'effect drastic fuel
regulations. These regulations were
more stringent than those applied
during the war and coal' directors
believe they will aid in staving, off
a fuel famine. -
Chicago Schools Closed.'
The public utilities commission of
Illinois today issued an order for
bidding the" further use of electricity
for street signs and show window
illumination. Earlier 30 Chicago
evening schools and 63-community
centers were ordered closed by the
board of education. It also is
planned to cut the school day an
hour.
In Kansas City the campaign to
save fuel was in full force. Business
houses opened at 9 a. m. and closed
at 4 p. m. Schools were closed and
amusement, places not allowed to
open.
At the Hanna, Wyo., mine 450 men
struck and at Hudson, Lander and
Geldo, 500 additional men refused to
report to work.

AIRMAN KILLED
JUMPING FROM
v STRICKEN PLANE
rarachute r ails to Upen in
Time and Lieut. Graves In
stantly Killed in Lemburg.
'Lemberg, Dec. !. Lieutenant Ed
mund P. Graves of Boston, Mass.,
a member of the Kosciusko aerial
squadron of the Polish army, was
killed when his airplane crashed on
the roof of the palace of Count
Pptocki, which is occupied by the
personnel of the American Red
Cross. '
Gasoline escaping from the ma
chine ignited and started a fire
which nearly consumed the building.
Lieutenant Graves, who was a
Harvard graduate of 1913, -was the
first number of the Kosciusko
squadron, which 1s made up of
American volunteers, to lose his life.
The accident was witnessed by
thousands of spectators, who had
crowded into Lemberg for a cele
bration in honor of the freeing of
Lemberg from the Ukiainians a
year ago.
After the Kosciusko , squadron
had flown over the city ' Lieutenant
Graves flew down the central street
several hundred feet above the
crowd performing what is known as
the "double loop." During the ma
neuver the right wing of the machine
broke. Graves coolly threw off his
safety belt and jumped with a par
achute. The height was insufficient
for the parachute to ODen and
Graves struck the ground and was
instantly killed, while his machine
crashed on the roof of the Potocki
palace.
Graves volunteered for service
with the British" royal air forces be
fore the United States entered the
war.. He was an "acrobatic" teacher
in the instructors' school at Toronto,
and .afterwards served overseas.

State Department Means
Business This Time, Porter
Says, in Commenting on
Matter of Message.
Washington, Dec. 1 The govern
ment's note to Mexico, made public
today at the hour of its delivery in
Mexico City, renews the request for
the immediate release of William O.
Jenkins, the -(American consular
agent, imprisoned at Puebla, and
bluntly charges Carranza with at
tempting to becloud the issue.
Iii the sharpest language yet ad-'
dressed to the Carranza government
and probably more pointed than one
government usually addresses to aiv
other in a formal diplomatic com
muViication the United States says
""it reganis Mexico's plea of judicial
reasons tor not releasing Jenkins as
"mere excuses." and ' gives notice
that it will mTt be drawn away
irom the main facts nd into adis
cussidn of "irrevelant and unim
portant matters."
, ' Wilful Indifference.
The altitude of the Carranza gov
ernment in the matter, the note says,
has been to "assume a wilful indif
ference to the feelings of the Amer
ican people and the conqlusion
drawn by the government is that
Mexico has sought to divert the at-
leiuion oi tne American people ana
the Mexican people as well fromthe
fact that Puebla second largest city
in Mexico', is overrun by bandits
thHetfce civif authorities are' ngll
ge'it" -1- ..-- , V- '., '
The ultimatum was served and no
time givMt in which this . govern
ment expects Jenkins to be released
and neither was there any state
ment in the note as to what the
course of the American gevernment
would pursue if the renewed re
qufest for his release is denied.
Means Business.
. After a conference with Secretary
I Lansing, late today Chairman Porter
..., e re .....
oi inenouse ioreign anairs commit
tee expressed the opinion that "the
State department means business
this time." Chairman Porter indi
cated that he was in accord with
the government's present policy in
dealing with the Mexican situation.
Chai rman Porter was with Secretary-Lansing
for a half an hour
discussing the Mexican situation in
general, and later appeared hopeful
of a solution of the trouble. '
, "The danger to the United States
of this condition of continual unrest
and feeling of hostility towards us
in Mexico," Mr. Porter said, "lies in"
the fact tnat it provides a fertile
field for anti-American propaganda
and even a base for attack upon the
United States by any foreign coun
try that effected a combination with
Mexico. By this the spirit, if not
the letter of the Monroe doctrine
would be violated."
