Indiana Cities
VIII Feel Probe
of Coal Shortage
90 linz $50 servlee:

| News-Times Special Service:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, My 5.-A
dozen Indiana cities are TO feel at
once the probe OF Indiana's new
public service commission, intent on
solving. if possible, the coal short
age and high price conditions in In
diana. If power exists. under pres
ent laws in the state, the big utility
companies Of the state. the indivi-
dual consumers. the factories and
business generally will be freed
from the coal octopus
And even then there will be a de-
termined effort made to have the
coming special session of the Indi-
ana legislature enact some sort of
law that will give the commission
power at least to compel coal opera
tors and the railroads 10 furnish
service-to bring the supply that is
known to exist, to the consumers or
operate their properties under a re-
ownership. which will mean the
coming together CT demand and
supply.
May Name Receivers.
Gov Goodrich already believes
the commission has power to go in
10 any court in Indiana and ask that
a receiver be appointed for any rail-
road that is discovered making spe-
cial contracts for its own coal with
the mine owners, or refusing or fail
ing TO furnish adequate cars for the
coal trade, because higher freight
rates exist on some other commodi-
ties.
There already is a definite impress
sion existing in the minds of some
members of the new Indiana com
mission that coal operators and coal
dealers are particularly responsible
for the present prices of coal in In
dianapolis and other large cities in
Indiana. These dealers, it is be-
lieved. have stored large quantities
of coal TO force up the prices. At
the same time these same dealers
are charging thc the public's rush
TO store coal against war prices is
responsible for the shortage. Not
more than % percent of the de-
mand is being supplied generally
throughout Indiana now. although
Indiana has millions of tons of coal
in some IA counties that is Access
sible TO coal-carryiug railroads
and miners are ready and willing to
mine it, The shortage exists in In
diana coal, as well as to foreign
fleI Such as the West Virginia
types.
The commission has called a spe-
cial meeting of coal dealers and Op-
orators for Indianapolis next We'd
nesday morning at 10 o'clock to be-
gin its investigation of the situation.
Immediately thereafter hearings are
to be held by the body in probably
a dozen of the larger cities Of the
state, such as South Bend. New AL
bany Evansville, Terre Haute. Fort
Wayne, Richmond, Brazil and Lin
ton.

Short Term Bills
Offered to Banks
By Government
Issue of $500, 900, 900 Is Put
Out Through Federal Re-
serve Institutions

An Offering of s2OO.OOO,OoO Of Ger
tlfcates Of indebtedness. bearing in
tcrcst at 2is per cent, was announced
yesterday by the United States Treas
ury. The certificates, which mature
July I next, are part Of the 100000
600 authorized by the last Congress.
Fifty million dollars Of the amount
was issued on April last, and was
oversubscribed by the twelve Federal
Reserve Banks.
The present issue is being offered 20
banks and bankers throughout the
country through the medium Of the
Federal Reserve Institutions. The pro-
cecds, according to adviccs from Wash
ington, Will be devoted TO meeting tho
expenses Of the government between
now and July 1, the beginning Of the
new fiscal year, it being stated that
the sale of these notes is in no way
related TO the governments financial
programme for carrying on the war.
Subscriptions Coming In
According to a statement given out
BY the officials of the New York Fed
eral Reserve Bank, if an issue of war
bonds is brought out by the govern
ment prior to July the certificates
Of indebtedness may be used in pay
ment for subscriptions to such bonds.
It was stated that banks had subscribed
freely for the notes.
Low Rate Causes Criticism
Criticism was heard in some banking
quarters Of the governments plan to
raise funds pending the issuance of
long term bonds at a rate of interest
as low as 2l2 per cent. One banker
characterized this policy as bad bust
ness" No doubt was entertained. now
ever, that the certificates would be
quickly sold.
A rise in the call money rate yes
terday to per cent was attributed in
part to the preparations OF New York
banks to subscribe to the certificates.
