COAL FAMINE EXISTS
IN COLUMBUS

1t seems now that if the coal
man does not get some coal or
the weather man does not lay
off for a few days the people are
going to suffer, and in fact il
has reached this point now,
Mesquite wood is all the fuel the
people have been able to buy for
several weeks, and it is no easy
matter to get it. The coal men
are doing everything in their
power 10 get coal, but it does not
appear to be available, or at least
they have not been successful
The cause is supposed to be a
shortage of cars and labor.

Funston: Studying

IT, SAN ANTONIO y Tex, March 23.-
orders going from Fort Sam Houston
today provide for rapid action at points
along the border Should a new rebel
lion in Mexico make it necessary. Cen
eral Funston was not altogether con-
yinced of the truth of the report that
General Luis Herrera, the reposed
military leader at Chihuahua had en-
tered the field with Villa against the
United States, but the repetition OF
the report and absence OF acceptable
evidence to the contrary caused the
General and staff to regard 1t as prob
ably true.
The censorship imposed at Ell Paso
by General Bell was done without or.
ders from headquarters here, but it
is known that General Bell has au-
thority to go far in the exercise of
his own Judgment in meeting an extra.
ordinary situation. Staff officers OF
Z General Funston. studied a more ex-
tended, area OF northern Mexico today.
The probable moves of Herrera and
his 1000 men were carefully consider.
ed and at every point along the Dor.
der note was taken of the position
of American troops and sthe time it
would take to move them to meet any
situation.
