Mr.. Clyde Townsend. who has
been confined to the Gibson In.
firmary at Richmond the past
two weeks where he had an arm

Will not Make Change.

Mr.. Burrell Akers, l.. & 4.
roadmaster, informs us that he
will not take control of the w
& l. division of the l., & N, but
will remain on the l.. q L which
is contrary TO statement made
in these columns last week. Mr..
Akers, we regret to say, has been
thinking of moving TO Wincbes-
ter, which gave rise to his report
ed change in position. We OBJ
tanned our information from a
reliable source and regret that
the statement made by mistake
and which proves to not be alto
gether true, has caused Mr.Akers
and associates some annoyance,
even though we reported the
facts as they came to us.

Twenty-One Years Ago.

"We are free!n
Just twenty.one years ago the
The Times first saw "the light of
day" with the present editor as
its protector. We are proud to
be able to record the fact that
the paper has reached its major
ity in years, as would be termed
in young mans career. It, can
not be said that we are just now
free, for we have exercised that
hberty-freedom of thought and
speech-from the beginning.
While the paper is far from be-
ing a bowling success, financially
or influentially, it has an estab-
lished record for telling the truth
as we know 1t, and our readers
know to depend on its policy,
which has never wavered.
We hope to be able to print
the Times for Powell county folks
many more years, and if they
will give US the same liberal pat
r0nage in the future as in the
past, we will be trying it so long
as we can, for in the language of
one of our subscribers " e believe
we are, from financial point of
view at least, eft for nothing
else.'
We wish all our readers the
full compliments of the season
and a happy and fruitful 1917.

Receiver Denied.

The John j. Curtis heirs, who
are suing to recover oil lands in
Estill county, failed to get re

that their interests are lost, but
that they must seek an injunc-
tion. Many of the heirs live in
Powell county.

CABINET DISAGREES
ON PRICES OF COAL
McAdoo Thinks $3.50 a Ton Fair
Despite Views of Others.

Secretary McAdoo seems 10 think
coal for the government at SEQ a
ton at the mines is a fair price. de-
spite the fuel views OF Secretaries Ba-
ker and Daniels. When the Coal Pro-
duction Committee OF the Council of
National Defense called the coal op-
orators to Washington last month and
obtained a promise of IS coal. with
a reduction Of % cents a ton for coal
for the government, the War SeCre-
taTy and the head of the navy pro-
tested that the figure was too high.
Nothing seems to have been done in
the matter. and no word can be had
from the Office OF Francis s. Pea
body, of Chicago. chairman OF the
committee, who was responsible for
the operators coming here.
Mr.. McAdoo's ideas were made
known yesterday afternoon when Il
was learned that he had signed con-
tracts for 100000 tons OF bituminous
coal for the use of his various de-
partments in Washington at a price
Of $3.50 ton at the mines. The gov
eminent will nave TO pay the freight
on all purchases. Il is understood.
which will amount to about S1.s0 a

EMBARGO in FORCE
TOMORROW Midnight
No Ship Will Be Allowed to Clear
Without Export License.

Order began to shape itself out of
cnaOs in the exports council yester-
day The bureau of licenses for
the first time indicated that it would
be able to handle the hundreds of
applications for export licenses which
nave already come to It. The bu-
reau stated last night that no shin
would be allowed to clear from an
American port after tomorrow mid
night without a license for every
item in her manifest.
Administration officials were IN
some extent relieved by this promise
They have been worried ever since
the proclamation was Issued bv tho
apparent lack of preparation for its
enforcement by Secretary RetteId
Shippers all over the country have
been thrown into something ot a
panic by their failure to get license
information from the Department of
Commerce. Hundreds of shipmnnts
have been held up. and scores of
ships have had to wait expensive
days pending the clearing I'D Of ;hese
uncertainties.
A rush OF efficient volunteer work
ers has come to the expert license
division and the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, however
and these men, working without nav.
are beginning to clear up the clut-
tered decks.
Secretary Redheld. It was learned
yesterday. up to the very time the
proclamation was issued, insisted
that it should be limited to fuel and
grain. The inclusion of all other
basic commodities in the Presidents
embargo proclamation made the
preparations he had made wholly
inadequate
The bureau OF license stated that
the first preference in licenses would
be given to the shipments of SUD-
plies for the allies. Representatives
OF NJ. Tardieu and Conop Guthrie,
the British and French purchasing
commissioners. have been with the
license division preparing TO clear the
first allied shipments of next week.
