MORE FUEL FOR THIS
STATE May RESULT

Kansas City, Jan. 21.--Plans for re-
districting the territory in which they
have jurisdiction so that coal can be
more easily distributed were to be
taken up at the meeting here today of
the fuel administrators of the plains
states-Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska Ok
lahoma and Arkansas. The meeting
was called by suggestion Of II. A. Gar
field, federal fuel administrator.
Fuel administrators have found that
in some cases coal has been hauled
long distance, or across several states
to districts which were supplying
points back along the line. The OBJ
ject Of the meeting here today is to
prevent this condition by arranging
that each district provide for itself.

Whatever may be said Of the papers re.
producing these disloyal utterances, the

Citing criticisms Of Mr.. Roosevelrs
editorials, Senator Stone continued:
For example. Roosevelt denounces
the president and the government in
terms that would subject al
most any other citizen to arrest, yet
his utterances, which I say would be
denounced as reasonable If made by
others. are widely published without
even official protest.

Roosevelt, first to show that his vaunted
claim, self-advertised of a superior
brand Of patriotism is empty; and sec
oudly, to inquire why Roosevelt may
say things with impunity which a cit
i2en of lesser consequence dare not
even repeat without danger of indict-
ment for disloyalty."
