VAST QUANTITIES
Of COAL THROWN
ON MARKET NOW
Jobbers and Wholesalers Are
Permitted to Charge Fifteen
per Cent on Purchase Price,
Under Restriction,

washington, Nov. 8.-Thousands of
tons of coal held by jobbers and
wholesalers was made available for
emergency distribution today, when
the fuel administration decided to al
slow the dealers to take a small margin
of profit on coal they had contracted
for at high prices before the govern
ment prices were fixed.
Under previous orders iobbers have
been permitted to sell only at small
margin above the government price at
the mine, regardless Of the figures
named in their contracts. Because in
many instances this price was less
than the coal cost them, the jobbers
have held their coal.
May Have Better Margin.
Today's ruling provides that the
iobbers may sell at a margin of 10 per
cent above the contract cost to pur-
chasers to be designated by state fuel
administrators. The fuel administra- :
tors will place the coal in communities
most in need of 1t.
Measures to increase coal produce
ton were taken up at conference to-
day between officials of the fuel ad-
ministration, directors of the National
Coal association and representatives
of the railroad war board, the prior
tiles committee and the Interstate
Commerce commission. Consideration
was given to a proposal that coal ship
ments be given preference in trans
portation over all other commodities
except food and war supplies. This
step was urged by the coal operators
who say the car shortage Is forcing
mines to stand idle in many parts of
the country.
Have Wide Discretion.
Local committees serving under
state fuel administrators were given
wide discretion by the fuel admins
tration today in fixing retail margins
In a recent order retailers were di-
rected to charge no greater margins
than they took in 1915 with the pro-
vision that in no instance were the
margins to be more than charged in
July of this year. Today's order em-
powers local committees to reduce
these margins wherever investigation
shows they are unreasonable.
Fuel administration officials pre-
dicted that the order would bring low
er coal prices in many parts Of the
country.

BULGARS REPORTED TRYING TO EFFECT SEPARATE PACT
 WITH FOE THROUGH SWISS
GAMBLE ON PEACE
 BEFORE NEW YEAR

London, April 12.-A feeling in some quarters that the war may end before the last of the year is indicated by the fact that in underlying circles busi- ness was done yesterday to pay total loss if peace is not de- clared before December 31, at forty-f1ve guineas per cent. Some time ago business was done at the rate of 15 per cent, against the declaration of peace within eighteen months. A report in Wall street that ten to one was being offered at Lloyds that peace would be concluded, within ninety days was described as more in the nature of a jocular bet and att tempt to trade. The wide bet ting orders frequently men, toned are not seriously con- sidered as indicative of market opinion.
 Cargo insurance rates be- tween England and America hold firm at around eight to ten guineas per cent, accord ing to the steamer, and insur- ance for securities varies be- tween twenty and thirty shill- ings per cent.

TRAPPED BY FALL OF WORK ELEVATOR Obrutz Has Narrowing Ex- perience in Temporary
 We'll

Trapped in the bottom of an eleva- tor shaft at the new Beaton x Caldwell building at the rear of 195 Main street yesterday afternoon by concrete carrying elevator that had fallen two stories upon him, John Obrutz of 93 Broad street had a miraculous escape from death and escaped only through rare presence of mind and quick ac- tion. He was engaged in making some repairs to the mechanism at the bottom of the shafting when some one released the elevator. There was not sufficient power to hold it and, weighing several hundreds of pounds, it z.4--.rted on it's plunge downward. ObrutZ heard the unaccustomed noise and, glancing up, was mortified to see the bulky mechanism approach ing with great swiftness. Realizing that his only chance of escape lay in hugging one of the walls he threw himself prostrate and did so. The bot tom of the elevator is V shaped, this fact materially assisting him in his fight for life. He was pinned in, un- able to move and the ponderous car rier rested heavily on his shoulders, back and hips.
 Fellow workmen rushed to his aid but it was some time before they were able to pry the mechanism apart and release him. Stunned and suffer- ing great pain, he was taken to the office of Dr. J. E. Martin for surgical attention. No fractured bones were found and. unless internal injuries de- velop, it is expected that he will re- cover. Today he insisted upon shay ing himself and being about the house. workmen say that it is enc of the strangest escapes from death they have ever witnessed.

 Notwithstanding all the big events the new food regulations which are to be Introduced on April 15 form the exclusive subject of discus sion in the most considerable circles of the people. The nearer the fate full day approaches the greater be- comes the tension. A dimunition in tl. bread ration forms a serious diff culty for the entire population and causes great preoccupation."
