AN ATLANTIC PORT. Sept. 15.-A report that an enemy submarine has begun depredations in American waters was brought here today by two steam ships which vest erdaY morning picked up wireless sos" calls indicating that a ship was being shelled by a U-boat in the vicinity of Nantucket lightshlp.
 One ship receiving the distress calls was a British freighter and the other an American tanker. Both reported the scene of the attack as about 60 miles east of Nantucket and the time about $ o'clock yesterday morning. The lden- titv of the submarines victim was not learned by either vessel, so far as is publicly known.
 According to the commander of the British vessel. the messages received by his wireless operator from the ship said she was being shelled and reported her position, but only d part of her name could be heard-the word Abby" which is the last name or several ships in Atlantic trade.
 The American tanker's captain con- firmed the British shippers report but added no details. Following the new rule of the sea, established since Ger man submarine warfare began, neither vessel went to the assistance of the submarines victim.
 Reports of the sighting of subma- rines or periscopes in American waters have been frequent since the United States entered the war, but the fact

ID ACQUISITION GOAL AND FIX
 FAIR SALE PRICE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Plans for taking care of the small con sumers coal needs this winter by requisitioning co-called spot coal at the mines and directing it's sale through local dealers at government fixed prices were disclosed tonight by Dr. H. A. Garfield the fuel ad- miaistrator.
 The first move under this arrange ment, Dr. Garfield explained, will be to ascertain through state fuel administrators soon to be named the exact requirements of each state above the amounts that have been contracted for. These will be as- semLled and the total supply re- ouired will be apportioned among the country's mines. Operators will be required to trim their contracts enough to enable them to supply the necessary amount of spot coal.
 Tentative retail prices will be fixed for every community in the country possibly within two weeks Final prices to be fixed on recommenda = tion of local committees. Dr. Garfield said. will represent considerable re- duction in cost to the consumer. Jobbers and retailers under the retail price fixing plan stand to lose money on any coal they may have purchased and stored at tho h'--- prices that have prevailed, and one reason for delaying the flxing of ie- tail prices, Dr. Garfield said, was to give them an opportunity to get rid of their stocks.

 CARING FUR FLOUR
TRepubIican A. P. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-New York not only is assured of an abundant flour supply but soon will face the problem of how to take care of the surplus being shipped from western mills. according to a statement issued tonight by Julius H. Barnes, president of the food administration grain cor poration.
 Flour price is asserting itself rapid ly from the wheat price," the state ment said, showing reduction of flour prices generally throughout the country and even in New York the bakers trade is beginning to adjust itself There are stores already selling a 20-ounee loaf of bread for 10 cents, which is at the rate of seven cents for the ordinary loaf.
 The facts are that the primary marketing of wheat is increasing stead ily that mills are producing greatly in excess of flour consumption; that more flour is arriving every day in New York than New York can possibly consume: that such railroads as the Frisco are beginning to report scarcity of cars because of heavy country movement of wheat and flour; that the whole mar keting movement is now under way about three weeks later than usual partly because of uncertainty as to what action congress would finally take which threw the winter wheat machin- cry out of gear, and partly because northwestern farmers are preparing the ground for next years crop instead of rushing wheat to market, being as- sured of a steady price,
 Louis w Hill president of the Grea' Northern railway in statement hert tonight declared the great trouble th' farmers in the west have had to con- tend with is the scarcity of labor.

 response, our artillery put barrage on

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Conferees on the war tax bill clashed today over senate eliminations from the measure of the manufacturers gross sales taxes and others, totalling about S10,O00,00O and compromise by which half this amount will be raised from these sources finally resulted
 House conferees, led by Democratic Leader Kitchin, declined to agree to the senate proposal to strike out the five per cent manufacturers tax pro- vided in the house bill The compro- mise agreement is understood to have restored tax of somewhat less than this amount on musical instruments and jewelry ard revision of the auto mobile tax sections, with increases of two per cent on the gross sales taxes of patent medicines, cosmetics, perfum- cry and other toilet articles is probable. The compromise section is being draft ed for presentation to the committee next week and it is expected that it will be adopted as drawn.
 On other senate changes the confer ees did not fare so well. The amuse- ment tax, reduced by the senate from $60. 1000, 900 to s19,000,000 aroused much discussion and final vote on it prob ably will not be reached for several days.
 Approximately two- thirds of the bill had been disposed of when adjourn ment was taken tonight, and it was expected that report would be ready next Thursday for presentation to both houses. The excess profits tax and postal rates sections will be the last considered.
 Unexpected objection to the tobacco tax section which promises to delay final agreement suddenly appeared to- day. MT. Kitchin is understood to op- pose the proposed senate increase in the tobacco case from s25,000000 to s30,000,000 He was of the opinion
