May POOL ENTIRE
SUPPLY OF COAL.
Government Approves Sys-
tenn Just Adopted by
Cleveland Producers
(Rv Associated Press.l

Washington, Nov. 26. - Eventual
government pooling and sale Of all
the coal mined in the United States
was seen as a possibility here to-
day in the fuel administrators ap-
prevail OF a producers pool just
formed at Cleveland which will
handle shipments of mines in Ohio,
West Virginia, a part of Pennsyl-
vania and perhaps Tennessee and
Kentucky. Creation Of other pools
will be encouraged.
II government pooling is put into
effect 1t will be operative next spring
and will supersede the shippers
pools. Under such an arrangement,
the government would requisition at
the mines the entire output OF coal,
selling IL without profits. Such a plan
was suggested by the federal trade
commission before the government
took control OF the coal industry. II,
however, called not only for govern
ment sale Of coal under q pool, but
for a system of paying producers on
cost plus profit basis.
Advantages in a government pool
pointed out today by officials would
be that distribution would be easier,
since the government itself would
direct shipments, and more efficient
operation OF priority OF movement.

first of six new members to be elect

It is rule of the Academy that as

ment of labor to industries vital to
the conduct of the war, will be taken

Mr.. Baker declined, however, to state

troops are now overseas as we ex-
pected in the beginning to have

Mr.. Baker indicated that an official
statement Of the number of AmerI-
can troops in France was not to be
expected at any time during the war.
He caused an inquiry to be made
of the military censor Major Gen

result in more liberal regulations as
to publication Of the designations Of

said, he desired to give It out.
The secretary's attention was call

going to carry the heaviest role in

willing to face life imprisonment in
the state penitentiary in order to

HALL CASE WILL

In Bismarck On Deem
Der 5-No Grand Jury

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 26.-In hts
refusal of the plea that a grand jury
be called in Burleigh county, Judge
w. l.. Nuessle. OF the district court.
set forth an interesting declaration
TO the effect that grand juries usual
~ are called for the purpose Of. eth.
er removing a condition created by
diBohnest prosecuting officials, to SUBJ
serve some political faction or in be-
half Of some influential defendants in
criminal cases, who WELD enough In
huence in a community TO guarantee
that a grand jury will not return In
dictments against them.
Judge Nuessle holds that In Bur-
leigh county, prosecuting authorities
are doing their duty. He doesn't at.
tempt 10 decide whether either of the
causes he has assigned for the ave-
rage grand jury call had anything 10
do with the circulation OF the petition
that asked him TO call a grand jury.
The Burleigh county district court
term Is fixed for Dec. 5. and at that
time, the cases OF the state against
Thomas Hall, secretary OF state, and
his clerk, Eugene Walla, in the auto
registration department, both charg-
ed with embezziement, will be tried.
Because these two cases are on the
calendar, the circulation Of the grand
jury petition was regarded with ex-
ceptional interest, as both cases would
have been submitted TO that jury.
Under the North Dakota system.
when a man is charged with crime,
the defendant is given a hearing in
justice court. il bound over to the
district court, the prosecuting official
of the county files information In that
court without the formality OF a
grand jury proceeding.
Judge Nuessle also holds that the
petition was filed too late to make IL
possible TO call a grand jury for the
coming term Of the district court.
