retary. Ralph Bolton Of the Greater Des
Monies committee, in response to his
appeal for assistance. In a telegram
Mr.. Bolton asked each road to allow
coal mined today for railroad consump-
ton to be turned into domestic chan
nels.
j. A. Gordon of the Chicago, Great
Western replied that his road is oper-
ating on a meaget and unsafe margin
and that to turn over n days sup
ply of coal would force that road to
cease operating temporarily.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
has only a thirty-si hours supply Of
coal at points where the Des Moines
district coal is used, according to the
reply Of officials Of that line.
The Rock Island is in desperate

(By Associated Press. }

Boston. Oct. 9.-With the few ad-
ditional reports available today. the
story Of the submarine activity OF
Nantucket Lightship yesterday is
fchanged only slightly from the first
stories received. If the Germans
continued the work today nothing
has been heard of it and it seems
likely they are not sinking any more
ships.
Secretary Daniels informed tho
President that as far as he could as
certain. all International laws have
been observed by the navy depart
ment. However, he is prepared to
establish a patrol along the North
Atlantic to see that American neu-
|trality is observed. Six ships are
all that are positively known to have
been sunk, although the commander
Of the destroyer Ericsson reports
THAT he understood nine to be gone.
No names of additional vessels are
mentioned. The report that nine
have been sunk comes from no other
source.
The only persons from the six ves>
Isels not accounted for were the crew
of the Kingston, which took to boats.
The destroyers combed the calm sea.
Stories Of the number of submarines
differ widely, but many believe that
there were two. 1t is assumed that
the U-53, which came to Newport
Saturday, was one of those active.
The survivors of one Of the ships
said they were certain they saw the
U-63 on another. AS far as Is
known only six torpedoes were fired.
The U-53 carried eight.

the Austro-German lines at several

STOCK MARKET
TOOK SLUMP
BUT REACTED
after FIRST HOUR
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Oct 9.-The stock, cot
ton and wheat markets are demoral-
lied as a result of German submarine
activity. Standard stocks declined
as much as twelve points at time
Cotton broke from eighty to thirty
two points. Wheat at Chicago fell
as much as five cents per bushel.
All markets reacted after the first
hour, gains or several points from
the lowest being general. On the
stock market an unprecedented total
of approximately 100000 shares
were dealt in during the first hour.
