STANDARD TIME
ZONES IN j. s.
MAY Be CHANGED

Washington, Sept. 5.-Changes in
the standard time zones of the United
States, moving the lines slightly west
ward, are recommended in a tentative
report made public today by the in
terstata commerce commission.
The primary object of the change,
which becomes effective Thanksgiv-
ing if the commission finally approves
the report, is to unity the time chang
ing practices Of railroads.
Between the central and mountain
zone the new line would go from Port
al, N. D., south along the Missouri
river to point near Pierre, S, d.,
thence southwest to the White river,
thence to the Nebraska-South Dakota
state line, through Nebraska and Re-
publican rivers to Kansas, near Phil
Iipsburg, detouring west to Dodge
City and back to Mineola, using the
boundary line of the state to Cimar-
ron river which it would follow into
Oklahoma, moving generally west
ward to Collingsworth county, Tex
as, and thence southwest to the Rio
Grande.
The boundary between the Noun
tain and Pacific zones would begin
9t Ine Ihnauldn DOTuer near Bltck
Foot Indian reservation and move
south through Cutbank, Helena. Mon
tana, west of and parallel with the
Oregon Short Line railroad to Poca-
tello, Idaho, crossing the Utah line
near Weston, through Salt Lake City
and west to the Utah-Nevada bound
cry which would follow from a point
near Uvada to enter Arizona through
Yavapia county across the Santa Fe
railroad at Seligman and follow the
Colorado river through the state to
the Mexican border.

Washington, Sept, although the
senate today adopted a resolution au-

"dry" zones around coal mines, ship

it again failed to reach a final vote
on the emergency agricultural appro-
priation bill with its rider providing
for national prohibition from July /, !,
1919, until the nations huge army is
mustered out after the war.
The resolution for prohibition zones
about war plants was part of the

be delayed and that the president
should be given the power immediate

the separate resolution was approved
without a roll call and after seant
debate. Later an effort was made by
representative Miller of Minnesota to
bring the resolution before the house
but Representative Dent of Alabama
objected and il went over.
Long discussion of the Stacker
roundup at New York and of the
