The mines in that district being very wet" ones the stopping of the pumps for four or five days would cause a shutdown of the mines for two years or more. Several riots occurred and there was one ser ious clash between the miners and sol diers. Shortly after that, however, the trouble quieted down and since that time there has been no disturbance there.
 It is a recurrence of this trouble that is feared by the governor if the troops are withdrawn at the present time. and his recommendation to the government will be made accordingly. Colonel Hornbrook, the commanding officer of the troops at Globe. also at- tended the conferences held there

ELECTRIC SIGNS ID
 BURN FEWER HOURS
 ID CONSERVE FUEL
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The gov ernments first move towards elim- mating non-essential industries to save coal was made tonight in an order by the fuel administrator linn iting the use of fuel for electric dis play advertising to the hours be- tween 7:45 p. m. and II o'clock D. m. A score of other industries will be affected by similar orders that will be issued as soon 1s complete classification is made.
 Faced by the realization that coal production cannot keep pace with the present rate of consumption, the fuel administration is ready, if nec- essary, to guarantee supplies only for domestic users and industries either necessary in the conduct of the war or vital to the public.
 It is estimated that the limiting of electric advertising to three and Q quarter hours every night will save 50 per cent of the fuel now used in maintaining the signs that now light Broadway in New York and hun dreds of less famous thoroughfares in towns less famous.
 In a statement issued today the intimation is carried that it may become necessary to eliminate elec- tric 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 If these are not of unreasonable size they will be permitted to continue lighted while the establishments are open for business, but must be dark with the closing of the shops.
 Experts say that about 250,0O0 tons of coal are used annually for the operation of display signs. This amount, it is estimated, would keer 100, 900 families warm during the win ter months.
 A committee of gas and electric service companies co-operated with the fuel administration in framing the order and gave full approval tc

 A package. which police earlier in the day believed had been used to lure the victim to the room in the hope of obtaining a narcotic, police now believe to have been merely decoy.

 This afternoon the theory was ad- vanced that pr. Chapin had been mur- dered when he refused to break a promise he made to his wife to quit the drug habit.

The revolutionary element under Nikolai Lenine continues to hold the Russian capital, but with the attitude of the Russian soldiers on the various fronts returning it's assumption of power is still unknown.
 The Italian armies continue their re- treat across the Venetion plains toward the Have river. where it is expected stand will be made, aided by British and French endorsements and under a newly formed military conferencl of military officers. General Cadorna has been removed from supreme command and given a post on the inter Allied conference, the other members of which will be the noted French general. Foch, and General Wilson, sub-chief of the British general staff, General Diaz has been placed in chief command of the Italians.
 The reports from Russia still re- main meager but those that are drift ing through indicate that Lenine and his followers, including the congress of workmen's and soldiers delegates, are desirious of a cessation of hostili- ties for three months in order that ef- forts may be concentrated upon bring ing about peace.
 With the telegraph lines in the hands of the Bolsheviki faction it is natural to presume that communica- tions from Petrograd lean toward Lenine and his faction, but advices at hand from official and semi official Russian quarters in Europe and the United States tend to lessen the gravity of the situation and to indicate that order will be brought out of the chaos at no distant date.
