State, county and borough fuel ad-

day had not brought on the much talked

there would be dealers here and there

Announcement was made in the fore
noon by Joseph A. Hail. deputy fuel
administrator in The Bronx, that deal
ers in that borough were in dire straits
for supplies. This was later consider
ably modified by Cyrus Miller, the Dor
ough administrator, who explained that
emergency supplies had been distrib-
uted where they seemed most needed.
Like all other fuel administrators, ne
cautioned the public against sudden
run on supplies.
1t was said on behalf of Albert H.
Wiggin, state administrator, and Reeve
Schley, administrator for Manhattan,
that Inquiries by mail, telephone and
otherwise had not disclosed any gen

sufficient heat to keep up the tempers-
ture TO the mark required by the COM
mission-40 degrees.
Attorney Williams showed a marked
unwillingness to permit representa-
tives Of the transportation lines to
make comparisons with conditions on
those lines last year because of the
fact that indictments still are pending
against officials Of the roads fer their
failure to supply the required amount
Of heat last year.
For the same reason Mr. Ransom
argued against the suspension of the
commissions present rules. i'm order 70

He said that even a temporary suspen-
sion OF the heating order might be
used as a defence by the indicted Of
fcers Of the roads.
Mr.. Hylan Asks Delay
As a consequence Chairman Oscar
Straus suggested that the lawyers for
the commission and the roads arrange
plan for experimenting with the
human fuel plan. The plan will be
submitted TO the Public Service Com
mission tomorrow morning. II il Is
accepted it will be worked out on a
single line in Brooklyn during the
ensuing two weeks. The result will be
reported to the commission.
"Since the experiment might work
obvious discomforts on passengers, |
suggest that stockholders Of the roads
involved submit themselves for use as
car heaters at these tests" said Attor-
ney Ransom.
Mr.. Williams protested that IL would
be almost impossible 10 get them to-
gether for the purpose.
Mayor-elect Hylan. who had written
letter of protest 20 the Public Ser
vice Commission because of the pro-
Dosal 10 suspend the car-heating plan,
had been invited 20 appear az the
hearing, wrote that il would be impos-
sible because Of other duties. In con-
clusion he said:
IF there is any doubt in the minds
of the commission IS TO whether cars
should be properly heated, or the peo-
pie be compelled to ride in cold cars
during the winter months, would ash

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-With all
labor difficulties in the coal fields
practically settled through the ador-
ton of the fuel administrations pen,
atty clause by both operators and
miners in the Southwest, Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield stated to-day that the
next great task before the government
was the coordination of transportation
facilities for the rapid movement OF
fuel from the mines to distributing
points. The transportation problem
is in far from satisfactory shape, Dr.:
Garfield admitted. In this he affirmed
the recent assertions of operators that
production was being more and more
curtailed each week through car short
age.
officials of the fuel administration
take the position that a solution OF
the transportation problem lies not
in additional facilities as much as IN
the efficient use of existing facilities:

problem is to get the maximum OF SER

After dancing a few afternoons there
she said, Asch introduced her to sew
ersl men. She declared that she after
ward met these men at Asch's request.
She said Asch always demanded money,
and she gave it to him.

prietors of some Of these so-called re-
spectacle dance resorts are ignorant OF
the immortality that is hourishine in
their places" said Mr.. Smith. 81 have
evidence that in one Of the most noted
restaurants the young girls who take
TART in the cabaret are obliged to get
acquainted with male patrons between
$3.50 and II o'clock in the evening. Con-
d,tions are appalling, and intend to
start a drive TO clean these places up"

simple device of substituting psssen-

Heat and power experts, representing

promised to give much greater de-
gree of comfort than the old-fashioned
system of heating cars with fuel.

6O.Day Wheat Famine
In u. S. Is Predicted
By Food Official
[SpeciaL Corespondencel


CHICAGO, Nov. 1a.-Fresh from a
conference in Washington with Her
bert C. Hoover and food administrators
of all other states, Harry A. Wheeler,
Illinois food administrator, announced
to-day that the use of pork products
may have TO be abandoned for a time
in the United States; that a wheatless
meal every day may be ordered, and
wheatless and meatless days are 70 20
on; that America is in danger OF being
entirely with out wheat -four for sixty
days before the next grain crop is mar
vested, and that the Illinois price reg
ulating plan has been adopted by all
other states.
"The situation with reference to
wheat is becoming acute" said Mr..
Wheeler, "and is causing anxiety IN
Washington. The most astounding fact
is that the United States had shipped
every grain Of its surplus to Europe
November /, and that no more can be
shipped until the next crop of wheat IS
harvested, about July !, 1918, except
what is saved out Of our ordinary con-
sumption.
"The situation shows that there Is
the greatest need Of careful conserva-
ton. and il will mean an increasingly
rigid supervision of wheat products.
We have saved great deal by means
of wwheatless days, but at the same time
consumption has increased. The flour
is not being boarded, for we have traced
il. II is being consumed.
"You can look for an order for
wheatless meal every day, and 1t is
likely to come soon. At the present
rate Of consumption we will be entirely
without wheat -four for sixty days, as
our present stock will give out two
months before the next harvest.
"A plan to permit the milling OF only
standard -four, containing proper
ton of corn -four, is under gonsidera-
ton. Every possible saving must be
enforced or we will be forced to use
corn bread entirely"
