cred, officials said, had been indicat-
ed at previous hearings held in the
cotton Safes.
The regulations as they finally
will be formulated from testimnoy

REGULATE FUEL CONSUMPTION
MAKES MOVE FOR
COAL CONSERVATION
First step Taken to Eliminate Nom
essential Consumption of Fuel With
order From Administrator Garfield
Restricting Amount OF Electric Adj
vertising.

Washington. Nov. 9.-The govern
ments first move towards eliminating
non-essential industries to save coal
was made tonight in an order by tn,
iuei administration limiting the use
or fuel for electric display advertis-
ing to the hours between 7.45 and II
D. m. A score Of other industries will
be affected by similar orders that will
be issued as soon as complete classif-
cation is made.
Faced by the realization that coal
production can not keep pace with the
present rate of consumption the fuel
administration is ready il necessary
to guarantee supplies only for do
mestic users and industries either
necessary in the conduct of the war
or vital to the public.
1t is estimated that the limiting o..
electric advertising to three and n
quarter hours each night will save so
per cent. of the fuel now used in
maintaining the signs that light
broadway in New York City and hun
dreds less famous thoroughfares in
towns throughout the counry. In q
statement accompanying today's or
der the intimation is carried that i.
may become necessary to eliminate
electric signs altogether.
Exception was made in the order
for signs maintained by small mer-
chants for the purpose of directing
the public to their places of business
II these are not of an unreasonable
size they will be permitted to con-
tinue lighted while the establish
ments are open for business but mus
be dark with the closing of the shops
Experts say that about $500 tons
of coal are used annually for the op-
Grafton of display signs. This amour.
1t is estimated would keep 100000
families warm during the winter
months.
although the fuel administration
is anxious to avoid interference with
legislation just as far as possible.
said the statement accompanying the
order, lit is determined that the in
dustries essential to the war and to
the domestic consumers of the coun.
try shall be protected"
A committee of gas and electri
companies cooperated with the fue.
administration in framing the order
and gave full approval to it's provis;
ions.

CATTLE FROM WEST.
Tentative Emergency Rate Formulat-
ed by Meeting OF Traffic Managers
at Atlanta.

Atlanta, Nov. "a tentative emer-
gency rate to facilitate the move
ment of approximately 10000 cattle
from the drought sections of the
southwest to fields east of the Mis-
sissippi was formulated here today at
a meeting of traffic managers OF
Southeastern railroads. The propos-

will he held soon, it was said, and af-
ter the proposed ~ates formulated
here are decided | ION they will be
carried before the interstate COM

Department of agriculture agents
have pointed out that unless a rate
is established which will permit the
early movement of the cattle, there
is danger that they will perish.

port Cossacks and such other troops
who have not already gone over to
the extremists.


Washington. Nov. 8.-Discourage-
ment felt here over the news of the
overthrow Of the Kerensky govern
ment at Petrograd is tempered by
hope that the extreme radicals who
have seized the capital may not be
able to extend their control over the
army or any considerable part of the
country. However. 1t in feared that
much blood must be shed and the ma
tion further demoralized before any
power rises above the turmoil strong
enough to control the situation.
The suggestion that the new power
at Petrograd may be short lived Is
based to an extent upon the fact that
the Cossacks. the best military force

OF their own local liberties. always
have been reckoned. upon to support
q strong conservative government. 1t
was conceived in some quarters that

General Korniloff. the strong man of
the Russian army, with his Cossack
hackers. he might set up q new and
more powerful government at Mos
COW. where he could count upon the
loyalty OF a majority OF the large
population OF that ancient capital
An obstacle TO the success of such
plan is found in the possibility that
korniloff. embi+tered by the treat
ment he had received at the hands of
kerensky when the latter was yacil-
lating between the radicals and the
conservatives. might refuse to risk his
future further upon such an uncertain
leader.
In view of the intensity OF the dem
ocratic spirit developed i'm Russia

regarded here as difficult to con
ceive the appearance of any other
