WEAVER SAYS COAL

ought to have II the people are to be
kept warm, the most important thing
looming up today was as to whether
the coal that is being received here
is being unloaded promptly that the
little that is arriving may be passed
promptly to those in need.
Coal Not Moved.
Reports received by Mr.. Weaver, he
said today. were that the coal men are
not moving coal from the freight yards
and another drastic move is TO be made
to solve that feature.
Mr. Weaver laid the situation before
George R Loyal, freight dictator of the
District, yesterday afternoon, and the
agreement was reached that unless there
Is the promptnest sort OF hustling by
consignes OF coal, Mr.. Loyal will gather
a force Of men, go to the freight yards
and unload the coal on sidings, resorting
later. If necessary, to the gathering Of
trucks to take 1t where n belongs. the
coal men to be charged with the work.
Coal men have claimed, 1t is
charged, that coiored labor refuses
to unload coal under present condi-
tions because of really serious dan
gers involved in cave-ins of coal in
the large cars, involving life and
limb
Loyal VIII Do the job.
Mr.. Loyal, who has shown tenden-
eneies to do things and let them be
Questioned afterward, was today de-
termined to grasp the car unloading
problem by new Methods that will
excite criticism, but will, he is sure,
obtain results. He is Withholding
action pending the carrying out of
promises made to him by coal men
to~apply themselves steadily to re-
moving the coal, and he was rather
confident that the promises would be
made good
I'VE will unload the coal IL the
coalmen do not do it," he said to-
day. but 1 have talked with them
and have promises. which / believe
will be kept, that they will work dill
gently to get coal away from the
cars found considerable coal On
the tracks a few days ago. more than
should have been there, but this was
moving today, and moving fairly
well. ] have offered these men the
use OF additional trucks, IL they want
lit. / am going to wait a short time
longer to see what happens. ! have
assurances, however. that believe
will be kept"
Weaver Suspicious.
There were inside tips today that
Mr.. Weaver is beginning to doubt
whether he Is receiving fair play I'M
der his recent agreement with the
coal men. and that he is prepared to
again tatke up his original PROPOSE
ton Of assuming personal charge of
the coal situation as a Federal meas
ure unless perfect faith is kept all
along the line.
Just Two Things to BE Done.
Mr.. Weaver realized that the very
heart OF the coal problem in washing
ton consists In two things: Getting
the coal here and then getting II
speedily to the people.
If the coal does not get to Washing
ton the fault is somewhere. When
IT does come here there is also re-
sponsibility for its getting straight
to the people.
In lacking up the Fuel Administra- |
ton he hopes for more coal. In the |
matter Of moving the coal from yards |
he felt today that Mr.. Loyal held the |
whip hand.

New York, Nov. 6.-At least
two years will be required to COM
plete rehabilitation of American
forces in France, according to esti-
mates of allied military leaders.
General T. Coleman Dupont, who
has just returned from two months
visit to the western front where he
conferred with high officials in each
of the allied governments, brought
this estimate back AS the minimum
expectation Of army officials.
Military officials have been urging
us to think in terms of long war,
said General Dupont, and now
they are equally insistent that we
begin to accustom ourselves to
thought of long rehabilitation.
There is an immense task ahead of
our forces when peace is declared.
AS one of our generals said to me,
Tell the people back home it will
be two years at least, before, they
see us all. We have years work
just to untangle barbed wire that
has been strung back and forth
across France.
It must never be said Of Amer
ica that she, left her work half
done, =" General Depont continued.
We owe everything to France,
and our men will have to stand by
until they have done what they
can to set her on roads to restoration
and while they stand by over there
it is going to be tremendously i'm
portant that we stand by them over
here.
This fact gives double import
ance to United Wan Work cam

not lived with Our boys can imagine
how vital1y important the service
of these seven organizations is: no
one who has studied history of
other wars can overstate their i'm
portance i'll the period of demobili-
zation.

Death Valley Scotty

Nevada, is once more in the public
eye, having reappeared there with
evidences of rich mineral possess
ions in some locality which, as is
usually the case, he fails to dis
close. Scotty,, the Death Valley
mystery, the man who chartered q
swift train over the Santa Fe from
the desert to New York, and made
a sensational and meteoric flight;
who ten years ago startled the
world with samples of rich gold, is
still in the self-sane desert with
boobies of gold, newly mined, Now,
as for several years, he is ranch
ing, raising cantelopes, watermel-
ons. figs, peaches and grapes.
Scotty without a sack of ore OF
mysterious origin would not be
natural. and when recently he re
appeared in Go1dhe1d the mys-
terry had with him a large sack
which according to an experienced
miner who saw it. was newly
mined and exceedingly rich gold
ore. Scott says he has a small
mill which he can transport any
where on the back of his mules.
Where Scotty gets the rich ore is
as much of a mystery as ever, but
he does get it and, according to
reliable people, it is as high grade
ore as was ever mined. He is be-
coming an old man, but never has
he disclosed to mortal man the
spot in the mysterious desert where
he gets the yellow stuff.

Election of Governor

Returns Indicate Small Majority

Election returns have come in

state Offices the result is still not
known with certainty. Both Camp
bell and Golfer adherents claim
the governorship for their candi-
dates by small majorities. The Re-
publicans claim Cambel1 will have
a majority of between 800 and 400,
while the Democrats at last ac-
counts were claiming a majority of
200 for Golfer. It seem certain,
however, that Hayden has been

County seat removal was reject
edsby big majority. The War
ren District was the center of ac-
tion and the large vote of that
place either against removal or ior
Bisbee was a decisive factor in the
result. Coupled with the strenu
Gus work of the Tombstoneites was
the aid given bv the other towns
and county precincts, including
Benson. At this precinct the vote
was 1 for Removal to- 130 against.
The vote here for the principal
candidates was as follows:
Congressman - Hayden, Dem,
65; Maddox, Rep, 40.
Governor = Golfer, Dem, 81;
Campbell, Rep, II.

The contest for precinct offices
developed considerable interest, in
which there several independent
candidates. For Justice OF Peace
the vote was: Rucker, Dem, 7S;
Prof6tt, Ind, SO.
There were no party candidates
for constable, but three were run
ming on the Independent ticket.
