 Mir Ladd refused to say whether or not the governor would give up his office to Mir Campbell. He professed ignorance on all points, and even m- luired if Mir Campbell planned to be inaueurated when. where and how. He inquired when the governor elect planned to be sworn into office and registered no enthusiasm when in formed that it would probably he today.
 The secretary stated that it would not take long for the governor 10 move his personal effects out of the office. There is. according to Mir Iadd, very little to move outside of few souvenirs. and that in case a move was made. the entire office would he turned over to Governor-elect Camp bell as good as it was found five years ago.

New Mex lco is threatened with a serious fuel famine and appeals have been received ny the state corporation commission from a dozen towns for relief. The commission has wired the chief coal producers at Raton.

pay transportation to obtain miners, but don't know where to look for them.
 Then it was also suggested that it might be a good plan on the part of Bisbee and Douglas. where the greatest scarcity of coal has been apparent, to transport some of their hardrock men at the expense of the municipality 10 Gallup, and let them work long enough to get cut a sufficient amount of coal to last the city until the mine opera tors catch up on other orders.
 No Dancer In Phoeni<
 There is on an average cf one car ul coal a day coming to local coal dealers At that rate, according to those in a position to know, there should be no scarcity of fuel in Phoenix. Prices have elevated considerably in the past couple of weeks, but this has been due to fear of lack of coal on the part of panic stricken housewives, the result being the purchasing at one time of more coal than is really needed. The price of wood has also gone skyWard, and at some yards 1t is almost i'm possible to purchase q large quantity.

HIGH PRICE OF COPPER CAUSES
 C0AL SCARCITY GAY RAILROADS

The railroads are in no way to blame for the shortage of coal i'll Arizona, according to railroad officials. w. $. Goldsworthy, general agent of the San i ta Fe, was d caller at the corporation commission yesterday afternoon in re- gard to the protest sent his road by the commission.
 MT Goldsworthy stated that orders had been issued by his road. to rush coal shipments through to Blsbee and Douglas giving them preference over everything except livestock and perish able goods. hl explanation of his stalc- ment that the railroads are not to blame. MT Goldsworthy stated that there was but one reason for the scare ity of coal and that is the nigh price of copper
 The coal miners who have been em- ployed in the New Mexican coal fields, have all deserted and come to Arizona to work in the copper mines where wages are higher, stated MT Colds worthy.
 The railroads have plenty of cars and the rush of traffic is not so large but that the roads can take care of coal shipments. In fact he stated that the Santa Fe has had cars by the wholesale on the track at Gallup but the mine operators could not get men to fill them. This is not the railroads fault, he explained, and there is no way his road can overcome this obstacle.
 As to the claim that the santa le is confiscating commercial shipments for it's own use. Mir. Goldsworthy branded this as untrue. The road has plenty of coal without taking over commercial orders
 Why Not Help Out
 It was suggested yesterday lt the state house that there was in the, neighborhood of 100 idle miners at Ray and probably as many more in every camp in the state. and as long as there is a scarcity of coal in Arizona, it would be rood plan to take those men to Gallup and put them to work.

 The Asace-Lorraine question is the great stumbling block which has hitherto defeated all attempts of the famous so- cialist international to restore harmony and unity among the various national groups affiliated to it. and the Dutch so- cialist organ. Het Vollz, now puts forward the foregoing as the chief point in draft of peace terms upon the basis of which, it urges, all socialists might undertake a campaign in favor of ending the present terrible struggle.
 Rejecting the idea of the war indemnity recently referred to in the Reichstag as out of the question, the programme in question sets forth further that Germany shall surrender the territory she has oc- cupied in the west in return for the res- tcration to her of the free sea- which is, says Het Voll, 100 times more necessary for her national existence, while the allies shall give her back her lost colonies in ex- change for the non-Polish Russian terri tory in German occupation and the resto- ration of Servia and Montenegro. Russian Poland should, it is proposed, become an Independent state, which is on the one hand what the Russian Emperor has promised and on the other would furnish Germany with an important reinforce ment of the safety which so many of them regard as threatened on the Russian side,
