COAL OPERATORS TAKING UP FIXED
 PRICES FUR GOAL
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Coal op- orators from many parts of the coun try came to Washington today to take up with government officials the prices just fixed for their product. Cost figures prepared by the operators will be presented to the federal trade commission on whose cost of produc- tion statistics President Wilson based his prices for coal. Officials admit that the prices set will drive many operators out of business. but say that while individuals will suffer, the pulp lie generally will benefit. Both bunker and export coal, it was stated today are to be included in the new scale of prices. Bona fide contracts for this coal, however, as for domestic coal will not be disturbed Frank $. Pea body chairman of the coal committee clared today that operators generally felt the government prices were fair and that any inequalities would be corrected. The services of the coal committee, he said, would be put at the disposal of MT. Garfield.
 The labor situation continues to give officials some concern. Miners through out the country are asking wage in creases which in most instances, it is said, will be refused now that the price of coal has been reduced. The government, some officials believe, may have to intercede even to the ex- tent of working out with all interests concerned a general wage scale.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Viscount gave to the Associated Press tonight a statement defining the purposes of his mission to the United States. Members of the mission noticed at Honolulu, at San Francisco and finally here in Washington indications that their coming might be misinterpreted by certain elements and it was felt nec- essary to explain that no commercial or selfish interests were to be sub srved.
 The ambassadors statement follows:
 "The imperial Japanese mission came to the United States for two reasons. First, to convey to the pres ident and to the American people the appreciation and congratulations of the emperor and the nation of Japan for the entrance of the United States into the war as allies of Japan and the other nations now waging war against the enemies of freedom; sec ond to determine how best to co-op crate with the United States in carry ing the war to a triumphant con- clusion.
 Having determined in what man. ner Japan can use her resources and strength to this end, it is the purpose of the mission to further aid the allied cause by showing what she can do with the help and cooperation of the United States Japan is entirely un- selfish in her aim. We are fighting for common end and we wish to aid in the common efforts
 The mission will discuss with the proper departments of the government matters concerning shipbuilding ma terials and necessaries in other lines with the fullest understanding that such materials as well as the finished

WILSON ID REPLY ID POPE'S PEACE
 PROPOSALS SOON
GRepubIican A. p. Lease1 Wire]

WASHINGTON, August 27.-Signs were in evidence today of the dispatch of President Wilson's reply to the peace proposals of Pope Benedict at an early date Officials freely con- ceded the probability of the early completion of the communication in- dicatng that the president and Ser retary Lansing have at least agreed upon the basic features of the reply. IL is understood that rough drafts of some of important points already have been prepared.
 So far no authorized statement has been forthcoming as to the nature of the reply. Officials even deprecate speculation concerning it and there has been a formal denial of a published report that Secretary Lansing h.. l in- formed some of the entente diplomats that Pope Benedict's proposals would be rejected. No official opinion exists that the proposals will be accepted, but in diplomatic practice there is a wide field for discussion between the two extremes of rejection and acceptance
 Much of the uncertainty here sur rounding the preparation of the American reply has arisen from the fact that the major part of the nego- tiation upon this subject has been conducted in foreign capitals. though resident American ambassadors be- cause until he had developed the views of the entente chancellories, President Wilson was maintaining an open mind on the subject.

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug 27.-The city council adopted a resolution today pro- viding for an investigation of the dis turbance last Thursday when seven teen persons were killed as a result of indiscriminate shooting by 100 negores of the Twenty fourth infantry. A board of inquiry was appointed by Acting Mayor D. M. Moody and the investigation is eXepected to get under way tomorrow.
 A telegram has been addressed to Washington asking that Major K. s. Snow, who commanded the negroes, be kept here long enough that he might appear before the board of inquiry.
