NO FURTHER DELAY IN
ENFORCING COAL ECONOMY
Curtailment Of Fuel to the Less Es-
sential Industries Is to Begin
This Week.

There is to be no further delay in the
enforcement of coal economies in east
ern states. Curtailment of fuel to the
less essential industries is to begin this
week and will be continued until the
famine is relieved.
Details of the apportionment are to
be left largely to the several state fuel
administrators, but they will work un-
der general instructions from the
United States fuel administration.
Household needs are to be supplied
first and next will come the industries
essential to war. Many industries
whose products are not necessary for
waging the war probably will be re-
quired to shut down at least three days
a week until the fuel crisis is over.
Production of bftuminouS coal in the
first week of January returned almost
to the level of early December, before
the severe weather began to impede
operations. The average daily produce
tion was 1,S47, 900 tons. according to the
United States geological survey. Pro-
duction Of beehive coke amounted to
SIS, 900 tons. Losses in the anthracite
industry were larger than in either
soft coal or coke, the weeks shipments
to only 27,517 cars.
General improvement in working con-
ditions was reported from Illinois, In
diana, Ohio. Pennsylvania. West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky. In Virginia, Ala
bama, Iowa, Arkansas and the West
Virginia panhandle losses due to labor
shortage increased.

Treated Remarks as Joke.

Wornall says that the officers remarks
were treated as a joke until he took an
az from under his overcoat and struck
MI. Winters with its fat side. All of the
men then were forced to lie face down on
the floor. while Whistler selected money
mostly bills of large denomination, and
threw them into sack. Wornau SAYS he
then was forced to get up and bind the
other men. His own hands then were
tied by the officer, and all of them were
gagged.
Here. says the staff officer who reported
WornalfS statement, the cashiers mind
is blank, and he recalls nothing that hap
pened until he became conscious in an
ambulance on the way to the hospital.
After the crime Whistler went to the
quartermaster's office, where he removed
the bloodstains from his hands and gar
ments. He then proceeded to a class in
French When an order came from head
quarters of report from all company
commanders Saturday the captain
seemed to know that detection was al
hand. 1t was then he shot himself to
death. "
A note Capt. Whistler wrote after he ha 4
decided to kill himself, was addressed to
young woman at Ottawa, Kan. hui
Army officers are making every effort to
keep secret both her name and possible
relation to Whistler.
