DOUGLAS, Nov. 5.-Officers on both sides of the line tonight are searching for two men, an American and a Mexican, who early this morn ing held up and robbed Antonio Per alta, Mexican stamp agent of Agui Prieta, just across the border from here of s19,000 in gold coin. The robbery took place shortly after six o'clock on the main business street of Douglas. There were only few persons on the street at that hou, and the higEwaymen vanished before Peralta or the man that was with him could summon the police No clue was left by the robbers and. although they were unmasked. the stamp agent is unable to give good description of them.
 Peralta placed the gold in sacks at lis office in Agua Prieta and in con- pany with a trusted employe. started for douglas in a carriage, with the intention of sending the money by express to Nogales, Sonora. Three Blocks this side of the international boundary they were approached ny the two robbers and ordered to halt and after doing so were attacked. Peralta was stunned by a blow over the head with the butt of a re- volver, while the man with him was severely beaten. The robbery was reported to officers at Douglas and at Agua Prieta within half an hour after it took place, but they have been unable to find trace of the men.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Compul- sory separator of the negro and NliIe races in residential districts is a viola tion of the cons ,itution. the supreIl-n court held today iu in unanimous opin- ion declaring invalid the Louisville Ky. segregation ordinance. The meas ure, which prohibited persons of eilher race moving into block: in which ma jority of the residents were of the op- posite color, is similar to ordinances TOW in effect in St. Louis, Baltimore, Richmond and many other southern cites.
 Such laws. the court decided would n. prevent ,e amaiSamation of the races as was claimed by the Louisville authorities, Oi prevent race conflicts.
 Desirable ds this IS and importaI t as is the preservation of the pubic peace" said tGe opinion, this aim can not be accomplished by laws or ordin ;,Jices which deny lights created or proie cted by the federal constitution '
 Laws providing for the separation of the races in public eCnveyances and in tiie public schC.ls where equal priv lieses are give!:. tn" court pointed cdt, have been upheld. tLt it asserted tint such legislation must have it's lini-a- tions and cannnt be sustained w!la,e the exercise of authority exceeds the restraints of tIle constitution.
 The courts action was a reversal of the lower court, which held the ordi- nance to be reasonable exercise of the state police powers.

FOOD AUTHORITIES 7 COME ID RELIEF v OF STOCKMEN N
Republican A. p. Leased Wire

EL fPASO, Nov. 5.-Herbert C. Hoover. national food administrator. today promised the southwestern cat tlemen to make an immediate investi- Eatlon of the prices of cattle feed. es- peciaily of cotton seed products, with view to reducing these prices and saVing thousands of cattle that are starving on she ranges because of the drCuth.
 A telegram from the food admins arator was received late today by Sec retary W. L. Amonett of the Pan- handle and Southwestern Stockmens association and read before the execu- tive committee of the association in session here. Reports made to Secre- iary Amonett showed that range condi- lions in the southwest were bad be- cause of the drouth and that, as there were no cars available for moving stoc6, the loss from starvation would be heavy unless relief was obtained at once.
 The association was also notified that $500 cars had been promised the cattlemen of the southwest. Of this number two thousand will go to the south plains country of Texas, western and southwestern Texas while the re- maining 1900 will be distributed be- tween Arizona and New Mexico. How ever. none of these cars have yet been received and the cattle situation was described as critical tonght by the assocaton secretary.

ROADS PROBABLY WILL BE ALLOWED THE INCREASE IN RATES ASKED F0R

cross examination of such of the rail- road witnesses as shippers may desire to recall and on Saturday, November r, argument will be heard. In the meantime Examiner Disque will hold hearings here on different phases of the case
 While the hearing was in progress today John Skelton Williams, comp troller of the currency, issued formal statement predicting that the commits sion would authorize the increases, and declaring that the present railroad rates are not high enough to maintain the credit of the roads.
 An important development was the filing by railroads entering Boston ol applications for authority to increase passenger rates one-quarter of cent per mile on one-way tickets and mile age tickets and 25 per cent on the so- called trip tickets.
 Easing his statement on the fact that national banks hold great quantities O. railway securities which have been steadily depreciating, Comptroller Vii. Hams said: When the railroads shal have laid frankly before the commits sion the facts and figures which vii show so conclusively the extent tt which the rates now in force are insuf ficient to maintain the credit of tho roads and to enable them to perform efficiently their public functions under the present extraordinary condition: we have no right to doubt that the de. cision which the commission will reaci will be one which it's superior knowl edge and painstaking study of tht whole situation will in every way jus tify and that the relief needed will b, promptly accorded.
 If way cannot be found now t, reduce promptly the prices of material. and the cost of labor to a normal basis and this for the present is hopeless. i seems clear on the facts before us tha revision and modification of tn, fabric of rates to meet the new condi tions has become imperative
 If the relief which is manifestly re quired at this time is granted, believ, that confidence in our railroad securi ties will be revived and basis estab lisfed for new financing and for pro ceeding with new development an, construction work which is now s greatly needed The beneficial influ ence and effect of such action woul, be felt instantly throughout the entir country"

 Momentous Meet At Kansas City
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 KANSAS CITY. Nov. 5.-Whether the 35.000 coal miners of the south western district, which includes Mis- souri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkan- sas. shall go out on a, general strike depends upon the decision of the con- vention of miners of the district to be held in Kansas City, November r, ac- cording to Alexander M. Howat, presi- dent of the Kansas district, United Mine Workers of America.
 The call for the convention was sent out by Mir. Howat today upon his ar rival from Washington where he and other officials of the union of the southwestern district has been in con- ference with officials of the federal fuel administration. MT. Howat in structed the striking miners to return to work immediately and abide by the decision of the convention. About eighty-five per cent of, the 14,000 min CTS of the Kansas district were out he said he had been informed.
 The convention will pass final judg- ment upon the so-called automatic strike penalty clause which continues to be the chief obstacle in the way of an amicable agreement Mir Howat ex- plained. He declared that if the con- vention chose to accept the penalty clause as now worded, there would be no strike but if the convention re- jected it. the strike date, would in all probability be set by that body.

DARKER MENACE TO ITALY TEUT0N H0RDES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 The Austro-G German forces operating against the Italians along the Taglia- mento river from the region of the Carnic Alps southward to the Adriatic sea are proving a serious menace.
 The invaders of Venetia have driven their way across the river at PinZano and are proceeding westward, while to the north on the Italian left wing, in- tensive operations are being carried out by the Teutonic allies, the two maneu- vers probably having as their ob- jective the cutting off of the entire right wing of General Cadorna's army.
 The Berlin war office in it's an- nouncement of the fording of the river says six thousand Italians were made prisoner and additional guns taken. The Italian official communication merely says the enemy succeeded in bringing some of it's forces to the right bank of the stream.
 There is no indication yet whether it is the intention of General Cadorna to endeavor to maintain the Tagliamento line, but it is not improbable that his stand here is a temporary one while positions of greater strength are being prepared in the rear.
 Both the Rome and Berlin war of fices are silent as to the movement be- gun by the enemy in the Trentino re- zion last Saturday. which it was believed at the time, indicated that the Germans and Austro HungarianS would attempt to push southward along the western banks of Lake Garda through Brescia and out upon the plains between Milan and Verona. In the first attempt to break the Italian front in this region the Teutonic allies were repulsed.
 The British and French troops in Flanders continue to carry out raldine l operations successfully against the 1 Germans and to lombard heavily the | enemy positions at various points, with 1 the Germans replying actively ill the sector between the Houtholst wood and l the Confines YpreS canal. Bombard- ments also predominate on the south l ern part of the front in France
 Two additional defeats of the Otto man forces are recorded-by the Brit | ish in Southern Palestine, and by the Assians. in the region of the Black sea coast North of Beersheba the British are pressing on toward Gaza. The Russians have driven, the Turks | from first line trenches in the Black | sea region and have advanced at some places to the third line. Large quau- ! titles of booty were captured.

GOVERNMENT DRAFT
 ONEVERY GOAL MINE
 0F TENTH0F OUTPUT
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Nov 5.-An order reQuisitioning for the government 10 per cent of the output of virtually every coal mine in this country will be issued by the fuel administration prob ably tomorrow. The coal will be dis tributed by the government to meet emergency requirements wherever they may arise
 Consumption is keeping pace so closely with production that many parts of the country are feeling the pinch of coal shortage. Industries essential to the public welfare in many cities face the prospect of closing down and thousands of househoders have found it impossible to purchase win ter's supply of fuel.
 The fuel administration has met the situation as best it could by ordering individual mines to supply emergency needs, but it has been decided that government pile of spot coal" will best serve the purpose. Operators will be directed to trim contracts generally to furnish the 10 per cent desired. It is likely that instructions will accompany the order directing producers to reduce first the contracts of concerns whose output is not required either for war purposes or for domestic requirements
 Within a short time the fuel admin istration will classify all industries in the order Of their importance and will direct that they be supplied with coal according to their classification. Essen tial industries and householders will be classed under the heading "A" and others will be rated as, in the opinion of the government, they should be sup piled.

NEW YORK. Nov 5.-Stocks tumbed again in Wall Street today. Standard railroad shares and represen tative industrials suffered extreme losses of to ' points, with irregular and, for the most part, slight recover es Many factors of varying degrees of importance ptered into the sell irg.
 Chief among them was the emphasis placed by Wall Street in the financial position of the railroads. It seems to be the unanimous opinion of the sub stantial monied interests that speedy action to relieve the strain on the transportation companies would most effectually offset the timidity now prevalent among holders of securities.
 This phase of the general situation was earnestly considered at d confer ence today between officials of the stock exchange and prominent banking interests. including J. P. Morgan.
 Foreign developments also figured actively in the days depression. The further offensive of the Teuronic ar mics in Italy and the American losses in the western theater provoked fur ther liquidation from new, as well as old sources.
 Some of the issues involved in to- morrow's local election also were taken into account by investors who are frankly apprehensive of the growth of radicalism in it's relation to corporate properties, notably public utilities.
 Generalization of rails was the most dscouraging feature, stocks of the highest grade yielding more easily than volatile issues in the special divisions.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The su- preme court held today that the inter state commerce commission has practi- Cally unlimited powers to investigate the activities and expenditures of rail roads.
 The decision was rendered in the case of President Milton H. Smith and other officials of the Louisville and Nashville railroad who contested the commissions authority to require them to answer questions regarding that company's political activities and contributions. The court decided that a carriec has the right to mould or ,nlighten l.utlic opinion bat that it's conduct is open lc inquiry.
 The cp;riOH is the first definition Of tGe wide powers conferred on the commission by congress in 1910, which the railroads have always de- nied. It declares flatly that the in vestigating and supervising powers of the commission extend to all ac- tivities of the carriers and to all sums expended by them which could af- feet in any way their benefit or bur den as agents of the public
 It is not far from true-it may be it is entirely true, as said by the commission, the court said that there can be nothing private or con- fidential in the activities and eXpen- ditures of a carrier engaged in in- terstate commerce
 The case grew out of an inquiry in- stituted by the commission last year in response to a senate resolution in troduced by Senator Lea of Tennes- see into the Louisville and Nash villes alleged political activity its relations with other carriers and its efforts to affect public opinion rela- tive to rate reductions.
