International News Service:

NEW YORK. Nov. %. - Mayor
Mitchell today threatened to estab-
lish a municipal coal station for
the people of New York unless coal
dealers refrain from charging ex-
Orbitant prices for fuel.
The mayor held a conference with
seven of the biggest coal dealers in
the city after which he issued a
statement The statement declares
that financial support for the plan
has been assured and that the coal
would be purchased through a COM
mittee of citizens. If the plan goes
into effect the fuel will be taken to
various points and there distributed
to small purchasers by wagons of
the street cleaning department.
The aim Of the mayor is TO pro-
tect the poor of the east side where
coal is usually bought by the pail
BY purchasing in small quantities
east side dealers sometimes get as
much as $40 for coal in the winter
The plan is the most radical ever
proposed for the relief OF the city's
poor.

WILSON HACKERS

Election Bets Are Paid OFF

republican presidential nominee, 10

on his reelection. With Hughes
congratulations and the announce
ment that Republican National
Chairman Wilcox had conceded the
election 10 the democrats Thursday
morning. notices were posted by
Stockholders that bets would be
paid.
Although private bets were paid
during the latter part OF election
week. the public shareholders re-
fused 10 cash any tickets until it
was known definitely that Wilson
had been reelected. Bets on the re-
suit in California, Minnesota and
states where the races are close. but
practically conceded, are still being
held up.
II is estimated that something
like 100000 changed hands in
South Bend as the result of the ma
tional. state and county elections
Somewhere around 100000 was held
by public shareholders and it is be-
lieved that the bets made between
individuals will bring the figures W
close to the 100000 mark One
firm alone paid out about $1,000
Thursday.
Most of the betting in South Bend
was on the national outcome. Al
though odds on Hughes were re-
ported as being given on Wall st.
and other parts of the country. the
greater part of betting done in
South Bend was at even money. The
best bet offered TO democrats in
South Bend was a 10 to wager or

Considerable money changed
hands as the result of the state cleo
ton. Both democrats and republi-
cans felt confident of the state and
betting on the Indiana outcome wa:
even. Democrats were forced tC
give odds on the county candidates
and there was little wagering done
owing TO the fact that the knowing
ones practically conceded the lOca
vote to the democrats.

LOCAL FIRMS MAY BE
REPRESENTED AT FAIR
Display at Lyons Will be Held Next
Year Despite European
War.

Notwithstanding the fact that
France itself and all Europe is en-
gagged in war, notification has reach
ed South Bend that the annual Ly-
one Sample Fair will be held as usual
this coming year from March 1 to
March Is, 1917.
This fair has become the worlds
greatest exhibit of manufacturers
products for the sole intention Of at
tracing the attention of who lesale
buyers. 1t is distinctive in the fact
that no retailing at all is permitted
and that notwithst ding its exclus-
i've character. the easonable fees
charged has given il ch a wide ap
peal that in 1916 more than 1900
firms were represented. These were
from France, Great Britain, Canada,
Russia, Italy. Switzerland, Holland
and Spain. The United States alone
was notable for its absence in the
market.
Estimates have been prepared by
the municipal committee in charge
of the fair. that the expense Of
sending and maintaining a single
salesman and an exhibit weighing
one ton. for the two weeks of the
fair is very slightly in excess OF
S40O, Though accommodations had
TO be denied many prospective eX-
hibitors last year. sufficient booths
are being prepared for double the
number this year, and in line with
the attempt 10 stimulate trade be-
tween the United States and France,
the merchants Of the former are
asked to fill these booths.
1t is not at all unlikely that as
many as a half dozen of the larger
of South Bends manufacturers may
see fit to install exhibits at the fair,
since South Bend-wOrld-fam
has not yet reached the limit of its
possibility 10 cater TO the trade OF
the world.
