SEE LOWER COAL
FOR WISCONSIN
FIXING OF PRICES BY FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT WILL CHEAP
EN- FUEL IN STATE.
TO LIMIT AMOUNT OF PROFIT
Public Affairs Board Investigating
Overhead and HauIage Expense.
Transportation from Mines to
Milwaukee $500 Per Ton.

Madison The fixing of anthracite
coal prices at the mines by the fed
eral government promises some relief
to the people of Wisconsin in coal
prices, according to information of the
Wisconsin Council of Defense. The
price to consumers will be little low
er. The limitation of the government
would indicate that prices will not be
higher as was feared by many.
The government figures at the
mines, long tons, are: Egg coal. S4.45;
stove coal, $4.70; pea coal. 81, where
mines are owned by the railroads
which haul direct TO big consumers.
To Wisconsin users of coal the fol-
lowing figures can be added per ton,
according to data compiled by the
council of defense: From the mines to
Buffalo, $1.75; docking at Buffalo, %
overhead in handling about, $3.50;
profit, so cents, or a total of $3.50.
This would allow stove coal to sell in
Milwaukee at $3.50.
The sale price may be even lower
than $3.50, for these figures are based
on the long ton of 2,24o pounds. The
short ton is 1000 pounds. If this one
tenth is deducted coal might sell in
Milwaukee at $40 per ton.
The state board of public affairs is
now conducting an investigation of the
cost of handling coal in Wisconsin.
IAI nf
consin Council of Defense, says that
in no case should overhead rates eX-
coed SIS per ton. The preliminary
investigation made by the board of
public affairs showed an overhead OF
from $1.10 to $3.50. The question of
what is reasonable profit on coal has
not yet been determined. In some OF
the investigations made by the federal
and state government this profit was
found to be as high as 81 ton and
above. Men connected with the Coun-
Gil of Defense, however, think that 5O
cents a ton or below would be a rea-
sonable profit. One coal dealer in
Madison handles 10000 tons of coal a
year. This would give him profit OF
$500, 900 above his overhead expenses
Some time ago Gov. Philip indi-
Gated that after the federal govern
ment had fixed the price at the mines,
the state would fix the price at which
coal would be sold in Wisconsin. If
limitation is placed upon the amount
of profits that can be made by local
dealer, coal prices will be much lower.
If the coal is TO be transferred into
the state, freight rates must be added
to the figures above. From the lake
ports to Madison, for example, the
freight is $1.25 a ton.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S UNIVER-
SAL EMBARGO PROTECTS
coUNTRY's NEEDS.
LICENSE FOR ALL GOODS
Board Headed by Vance Mccormick to
Have Entire Charge of Issuing Per-
mits to Ship Commodities
From American Ports.

Washington, Aug. 20. - President
Wilson on Monday night issued proc
lamation giving the government con-
troll over all commodities exported
from the United States.
1t Is the most drastic step for econ
omy control taken by any nation dur
ing the war. The president said he
aims at control, not at actual stop
ping of exports.
All articles of commerce must be
licensed for export to enemy coun-
tries and European neutrals. This
will give the United States for the
first time control over certain NUM-
tons and money sent to the neutrals.
The list of commodities for which
license is required is widely extended.
This" says the president. lis for
the protection of our own needs"
The proclamation was accompanied
by an explanation in which the presi-
dent detailed the difference between
the divisions established in naming
the commodities coming under the
ruling
THE purpose of this proclamation
is not export prohibition, but merely
export CONTROL the president said.
1T Is not the intention to interfere
unnecessarily with our foreign trade,
but our own domestic needs must be
Safeguarded and the necessities of all
the nations at war with Germany
must be protected. After these needs
to administer to the needs of the neu-
trail nations. This task will be dis
charged without other than the prop
er qualification that the liberation of
our surplus products shall not be
made the occasion of benefit to the
enemy, either directly or indirectly.
mo licenses will be necessary for
the importation of coin, bullion, cur
rency and evidences of Indebtedness
Until required by regulations to be
promulgated by the secretary of the
treasury at his discretion"
The administration of the proclama-
ton, except as it refers to coin, bull
lion and currency, Is placed in the
hands of the exports administrative
board.
This board q few days ago had no
authority to act. Its members, headed
by Vance Mccormick, chairman, ad-
vocated a strict rationing system with
regard to allies and neutrals alike.

Forty years ago" says President
Butler of Columbia university in the

Americans IS very considerable. The

ception of authorized officials, dis

The mob, composed of members Of
the various companies of the Twenty
fourth United States infantry (negro),
started on its hunt for blood shortly
after eight o'clock ut night.
Within few hours 10 white men,
one Mexican and one negro had been
shot to death. All were citizens, with
the exception of Capt. j. w. Mates,

LARGEST American Flau.

The city Of st. Louis, Mo. possesses
the largest American flag in existence,
as far as is known. 1t is 100 feet long
and as feet wide. Each of the thir-
teen stripes is 6 feet wide. Imagine
plot of ground containing 11,700
square feet-almost one-quarter of an
acre-and you will have an idea of the
size of the flag. When used in parades
1t requires 200 people TO carry it. But
on account of its great width It cannot
be carried through many OF the streets

WANTS TO BE EXEMPT
FOR HE "PlLOTS" PUPILS

! of claims.
A certain school teacher, call
} ed under the draft law, asked
for exemption on the grounds of
being a pilot" knowing that
seamen are exempt under one of
the provisions of the selective
act.
He was asked several Ques-
tons regarding nautical terms,
and not being able to answer
them, was asked how he could
claim exemption as marine
pilot. He replied that he looked
up the word pilot In the diction-
airy and found that it means
lone who guides others" and be-
ing a school teacher, he felt that
he should be excused from sery-
ing in the army.
Needless to say he was certi-
