COAL INDUSTRY IS
BADLY DENORALIzED
Car Shortage Most Trouble
some Feature $50 Garfield
Says Reports Stretched

Washington, Sept. IL. - Utter con-
fusion" it is officially stated, exists
in the coal industry today.
Threatened with shutdown of manu-
featuring plants and public utilities,
facing famine this winter in many
sections of the country, coal admins
traitor Garfield wrestled with the fol-
lowing difficulties:
Two hundred coal operators asking
increases over the presidents maxi
mum prices.
A committee from the United Mine
Workers, headed by John P. White,
asking wage increases for the six hun
bred thousand union and n~on-union
bituminous miners.
Italy, South America and Canada de-
manding enormous amounts of coal to
keep industries going.
American munitiOn plants and the
navy requiring unheard of coal sup
plies.
Thousands of individual manufactur-
ers and towns t~elegraphing for relief
from threatened shortage.
Whole industries-particularly rub
Der. glass and canning-fearing shut
down from lack Of coal, throwing
tHUuSdINS OuV VI WIN
Miners in many sections working on
ly half and two thirds of full time
because of car shortage.
"The railroads of the country have
broken down; the war and the coun-
try's new needs have Outgrown them,' -
said President White of the miners
union.
Garfield, however, refuses to be STAN
peded. The "coal panic" has been slim
ulated, in part. kilograms arriving
here indicate that industries have been
circularized to send complaints.
Garfield intends to announce within
a few days his plan for a coal control,
er in each state and a citizens coal
committee in every community to serve
the situation and recommend maximum
retail prices.
If mines and wholesalers refuse to
aid the domestic consumer, the fuel ad-
ministrator will take steps to force
this relief, it is officially stated.

Label, Forester
Official Near Death

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-Jacob La
bel, national officer of the Foresters
OF America and editor of the American
Foresters' Review, was near death to-
day with a bullet wound in his head.
His assailant, Joseph Milia, a half
crazed claimant of sick benefits, is
dead.
Label had just returned from a for
esters convention in Portland, Maine,
where the relief board, of which he is
secretary, had ruled favorably on Mi
liza IS claim. Milia went to Labels home
late last night. Label told him he had
good news about the claim. While La
bel was opening his safe to get the
record of the claim, Milia shot him in
the back of the head with a revolver
and then turned the weapon OF him
self.

anything but trouble, hard times and

Government engineers have already
practically destroyed Korniloff's chanc
es of using the railroads for his add
vance. Every place from which reports
have been received of advancing reb-
els the tracks have been destroyed and
large forces of government troops con
centrated to oppose any progress.
Kerensky was quoted today as ex-
pressing the hope despite the tighten
ing of Korniloff' IS lines around the
city, hat there would be no wholesale
bloodshed.
Chief anxiety among the public was
in the food situation in %Petrograd. The
capitals stock of food was known to
have been severely depleted recently.
Even before the Korniloff revolt be-
came known, the provisional goern-
mem was seeking to relieve the short
age by furnishing transportation to
those who voluntarily wished to leave
On account of the German drive from
Riga.
Hopes to Avoid Civil War
A statement issued by Premier Ke-
rensky and sent by wireless to all Rus
sian fronts expressed the firm hope
that war would be averted He annOunc
ed the arrest of General Denikine, conf
mander on the southwestern front,
with his staff, and of General Erdelli,
formerly military governor Of Petro-
grad.
comfy small dctachments of troops
have been moved toward PetrOgrad by
General Korniloff,' the statement as
serted. Through d%ecepuon they have
remained deluded regarding the posi-
ton. The further advance of these
units has been arrested and the bonds
between them broken. Individual units
have sent delegates to P%etrograd re-
questing that they be furnished with
orders TO arrest the commanders who
betrayed the government.
"The government has taken meas
ures 10 put PetrOgrad in a state of de-
Tense against attacks and the hope is
entertained that all bloodshed or civil
war will be avoided
The workmen's and soldiers coun-
ell reported that the Kronstadt garri-
son had formally placed itself at the
disposal Of this government today.
To Brand Him as Traitor
Legal proceedings have been started
against Kornilotf to brand him as a
traitor to the government. Korniloff re
leased the provisional commissioners
at his headquarters and ne has arrived
here.
The newspaper Reich publishes an
interesting narrative q. the events i'm
mediately preceding Kerensky's an
nouncement of his determination to
fight Korniloff. According to this story
Professor Paul Miliukoff and General
Alexicff visited the premier and offer
to mediate the differences developed
between the provisional government
and General Korniloff.
Kerensky, according to the Reich,
expressed his willingness to hand over
the Government to a new cabinet. Lat
er he conferred with his ministry and
their approval was obtained for Gen
eral Alexieff to undertake the forma-
ton of a new cabinet.
Later the Reich asserted that Ke-
rcnsky suddenly changed his mind and
determined to re-organize a cabinet of
his own.

A|RPLANES COLLIDE
TWO AVIATORS KILLED
Machines Take Fire, Fall 400
Feet---Me Dead When
Taken From Wrecks

San Diego, Cal, Sept. 12.-Edward
NJ. Walsh, Jr., of Oakland, and Theo-
dore B. Lyman of st. Helena, Cal, both
~privates in the United States signal
corps, were killed here today in one of
the most sensational aviation accidents
in American history.
While under flying instruction at the
North Island aviation school early to-
day, the airplancs piloted by the two
men crashed together 400 feet above
the earth, both machines bursting in
to flames and falling to the ground.
From the blazing mass the men were
removed. Both were dead.
An investigation board was at once
summoned and a probe of the accident
begun. According to officers at the
school, it is probable that each aviator
failed to see the other approaching.
Accidents frequently occur when ma
chimes approach at a "blind angle and
this is believed to have been the cause
of the death of Lyman and Walsh.
Their engines were said the be working
perfectly.
The mother and sister of young
Walsh had just visited him here and
were returning to their home in Oak
land today. Lyman leaves a widow at
st. Helena.
The two machines, complete wrecks,
were valued at $4,000.
The news of the accident quickly
spread. Officials at North Island at
first refused to give out any infOrma-
ton whatever. Later the names of
the victims were announced.

Would Restore Monarchy

London, Sept. 12.-General Korniloff
plans to place the head Of the DoIgo-
rouki family IN the throne of Russia,
according to reports which reached
here today.
One member of that family, Prince
Dolgorouki, is now a voluntary exile
with the former ear at Tobolsk and
presumably it is this representative of
the family which the revolving Russian
general aspires to put into power. He
is one of the greatest mobiles in Russia.
A wireless dispatch received here
late today from Petrograd declared
The Ukranian parliament (rada) had
formally declared its d%isapproval Of
General Korniloff' s counter revolution
The news was received with great sat
lsfaction here, inasmuch as Ukrania
has been heretofore largely against the
provisional government. Moreover, it
is the home of the Don Cossacks, who
form the majority of General Korni-
lofts revolving forces.

likely, too. that certain machines OF
heavy loading (Which is not the same
thing as great total weight) and small
head resistance in a steep dive at
tain speed of $50 miles per hour.
Certain dangers are encountered
by very high-speed machines. The
dangers were anticipated years ago,
and to some extent, at any rate. they
are provided for in building. These
fast craft have their own degree and
problems of instability, and they are
no whit easier to fly or safer than
slow craft
"a diving speed of something more
than 200 miles per hour having been
attained, it seems likely that an en-
tirely new phase is entered upon, re-
quiring very careful consideration.
1T may be interesting to compart
the speed of mechanical flight with
that attained in other locomotion, ar
tificial or natural. There is no doubt
that mechanical flight has beaten
everything, but this victory has only
been attained within the past few
months. The nearest competitor ap-
pears to have been an electric train
on special speed trials ut Zossen, near
Berlin. in October, 1908, the speed
being 1901 miles per hour. Nothing
approaching this is reached on steam
railways. by which the maximum of
speed probably has never reached 100
miles per hour.
The mono-rail system. although it
gives prospect OF greater speed. has
not yet been put to this use. The
Bachelet 1ovitated' train would, 1t
was claimed, travel at more than 200
miles per hour.
Motor cars on the track have not
reached the speed of the Zossen trials,
and record motorboat speed is still
well under a mile minute. Birds are
far behind, it being doubtful whether
the Independent speed of the swiftest
birds, such as teal and quail, is up to
sixty miles per hour"

URGING FARMERS
TO THE LIMIT

The University Of Nevada is taking
an active part in the movement to in
crease the food supply to meet the
present crisis. Acting President Lew
ers is making a personal campaign
of letters addressed to friends and ac-
quaintances throughout the state. A
recent letter from President Levers
to John Henderson at Elko was pub
lished by the latter. and 500 copies
were sent by him to farmers
in Elko county. These letters en-
phasize the great Importance of pro-
ducing an increased supply of food
products in Nevada, and the need of
the most careful use of all supplies
now on hand.
Information received by President
Levers from Washington indicates
a strong probability that the present
food shortage will become serious and
that it will continue for at least two
years and possibly three. Under the
circumstances not a moment should
be lost in final effort to increase
the acreage planted in Nevada, espe
cially in grain and potatoes. Where
it is too late to plant wheat Dean C.
s. knight of the school of agricultur,
advises the planting of barley which
can ordinarily be counted upon for
a heavy yield. even though planted
late.
Judge E. A. Quicker of Winnemucca
is making a special trip to the Para
disc valley region. one of the most
beautiful and fertile valleys in Ne
yada, to use his personal influence
among the farmers of that valley tc
increase production.
Reports received by the universit!
from all parts of the state indicat
that Nevada farmers feel the neet
of serving their country by helping
America to meet the greatest foot
crisis in history.
