May ASK POWER
TO COMMANDER
OIL and METALS
Attempt to Mulct Govern
ment May Result In Dras-
tic Legislation
NEW PLAN TO CURB
EXTORTION DISCUSSED
War Profteering Is Not
Confined To Food and
Coal

Washington, June 21.-As a result
Of unchecked war profteering not
only in the sale of necessities of life
to the people, but in the furnishing
OF military supplies to the govern
ment, President Wilson may ask con-
gress to enact the most radical legis-
lation ever proposed in this country
The president and his cabinet dis
cussed yesterday a plan to exclude
fuel from the food administration
bill and include 1t in new measure
empowering the president to COM
mandeer and operate coal, copper
iron and lead mines, smelters, cement
plants, oil wells and refineries and
any other industrial establishments
the proprietors of which refuse to
furnish their products to the govern
ment at reasonable prices.
To Curb Extortion.
In the cabinet meeting this radical
experiment in government ownership
and operation was put forward as the
only means of curbing extortion by
the interests controlling the supplies
needed for the conduct of the war.
1t is believed that the clothing of
the president with authority to COM
mandeer and operate any mines and
industrial plants would serve to
bring their owners to time and that in
few instances would it be necessary
for the government to exercise the
power in order to curb extortion.
'@-- p Coal Price Too Hiah.
Following the refusal of Secretary
Josephus Daniels to pay the price for
naval coal demanded by the coal
barons and pronounced satisfactory"
by Goal Baron" Peabody, chairman
of the coal production committee of
the council of national defense, it be-
came known today that the navy de-
partment also has refused to pay the
price demanded for cement. The
navy is in the market for 625, 900 bar
rels of cement and the army for even
more. Secretary Daniels has agreed
to pay the cement manufacturers rs
per cent Of the price asked and to
arbitrate the remainder.
The arrangement respecting the
price of copper, entered into by some
on the copper men with Bernard
Baruch, representing the government
has been set aside and while the
charge is made that the Baruch ar
was altogether too favor
able to the copper interests and per-
mitted profits in several instances of
more than 100 per cent, the copper
men aAe proclaim1ng that the price
of "a cents a pound, which Baruch
had agreed to, is not high enough and
are demanding 25 cents.

REFUSES
TO REOPEN THE
REGENTS ACTION
Denies Langer's Petition for
Rehearing and Old De-
cision Stands

Bismarck, N. D., June 21.--A final
decision came in the board of regents
fight which has loomed large on the
North Dakota political horizon since
January last evening when the SUI
preme court entered an order denying
Attorney General Langer's motion for
a rehearing. The old board won the
first decision in supreme court several
weeks ago when the tribunal denied
the petition OF Governor Frazier. filed
through the attorney general for a
writ Of custer.
is, the last date upon which the gov
ernor could message to the senate
nominees to succeed two members of
the board of regents whose terms ex-
pire July 1. Instead Of two names, the
governor sent in five, with an opinion
from the attorney general holding the
appointment Of the board two years
ago by Governor Hanna and its con-
firmation by the senate illegal, mas
much as these acts took place in
March, as prescribed by the act, while
the act did not become effective until
July /. ..... .@
The senate rejected all nominations.
They were twice returned and twice
more rejected, and adjournment was
taken without any nominations having
been confirmed. Governor Frazier's
next step was to serve notice on the
board of regents declaring their seats
vacant and demanding place for his
five nominees. whon. he fuEuielae ~
commissions. The board resisted, and
custer proceedings followed There is
now said to be question whether the
governor can name successors to the
two members whose terms expire July
1, inasmueh as he did not submit his
nominations for confirmation by the
senate at the proper time.

that with Americanism standing forth
as the first principle, the conven-

after the war, appealed to Mr.. Burt

NAVAL BATTLE
Is FORECAST
In GERMANY
Berlin Expert Predicts that
British and German
Fleets Will Meet
MANY BELGIANS
BEING DEPORTED
Russian Soldiers and Work
men Demand Resumption
of Offensive
(Ry Associated Press.l

| copenhagen, June 2l.-The steady
continuance of the submarine cam
stroyed tonnage admitted in the ad-
| miralty report for May, will, in the
opinion of Capt. Kuehlwetter, the
naval expert Of The Berlin LokaI
Anzeiger, ultimately force a general
naval battle between the British and
German fleets as the only means of
ending the submarine menace.
Capt. Kuehlwetter blames the good
weather for the falling off in the num-
ber Of submarine victims. He argues
that the weather permits small sub
marine destroyers to venture further
to sea and to detect periscopes easier.
In this argument the critic is quite
partial as he equally blames storms
for the failure to secure better results
in marks.
5eIgians Deported.
Havre, France. June 21.-A large
number Of Belgian civilians from the
Mons region have been deported by
the German militia authorities ac-
cording to information received by the
Belgian government. The deported
men were sent to points ten TO twelve
kilometers from the front in France,
notably to Fenain, Arleux and other
places in the environs of Douai where
they were forced to work twelve
hours daily in all weather on mill
tary tasks such as railroads, trenches
and handling war materials.
Vote For Offensive.
London, June 21.-Dispatches from
Petrograd to the Exchange Telegraph
company say that the congress of
soldiers and workmen and delegates
yesterday voted confidence in the

mously passed a resolution demanding
an immediate resumption of the Of

Resent Socialists Activity.
Copenhagen, June 21.-M. Rottbper,
the representative of the conservative
party in the Danish cabinet, has been
asked to resign by the party execu-
tiyes. ..a. .r.
This development was caused by
the participation of M. Staining, So
cialist minister without portfolio, In
the Socialist conference at Stockholm.
The conservatives first requested
Premier ZahIe to dismiss NJ. Stauning
on the ground that his action was in
consistent with the determination OF
the Scandinavian government to alb
stain for the present from these
mediations. The premier refused
saving that the minister's partictpa-
tion in the preliminary discussion at
Stockholm must be accepted by all
parties but he will not participate in
the final peace conference where reso-
Iutions might be passed which 1t
might be undesirable for minister
to sign.
Clash With Revolutionists.
New York, June 21.-Eight persons

public of Kirsanov in the province OF
Tambov, Russia, according to a cable
