Kansas and Five NeighbOr
States in Conference Today.
Will Work Together To Elimi-
nate Extra HaulS.

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 administration of the plains
states-Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Ne
braska. Oklahoma and Arkansas The
meeting was called by. H. A. Garfield,
fetIeral fuel administrator. Fuel ad J
rninistrators have found that in some
cases coal has been hauled long dis
tances or across several states to dis
tricts which were supplying points
back along the line. The object of
the meeting here today is to prevent
this condition by arranging that each
district provide for itself
However, # all these states are
made into one district there may be
an exception to this proposed rule to
permit Illinois to ship coal to st.
Louis, which obtains almost its entire
supply from that state, and to Kansas
City Illinois coal being used eXclu-
sively at the plant producing power
for the street car system and the cleo
trio light company.

DEVISE FUEL. PLAN PAPER PLANT FIRE
Pioneer Factory Totally De-
strOyed This Morning.
Fifteen Girls on Third Floor
Escape the Flames.

1t took only thirty minutes this
morning for mans entire plant,
equipment, supplies and output to go
up in flames, when the Pioneer Waste
Paper company building at Ninth and
Adams streets was totally destroyed
by fire. The loss will not exceed s1O,-
900, L. F. Seller, the owner. stated as
he stood watching the firenen. playins
useless streams of water into the fur
mace.
Fifteen girls. working on the third
floor of the building, slid down the fire
escape to safety after they had assist
ed in emptying all the fire extinguish-
ers and doing all in their power to
avert a spread of the flames.
The fire started on the third floor
near one of the shafts where the
bundled paper is sent to the first floor
1t was we'll under control until a piece
of flaming paper dropped into the
papered we'll Then the girls ran for
the fire escape and the plant was
doomed.
The building contained 100000
pounds of paper. Owing to the car
shortage the owner was unable to keep
his stock down and the plant was
jammed to the doors with waste.
The plant was a. frame building
three stories in height and only par
TALLY covered by insurance. Frozen
water plugs crippled the effectiveness
of the firemen, but it is doubtful, con-
sidering the contents of the building
if it would have been possible to save
the plant if a line was placed thru
every window.
L. F. Seller, only a few years ago
was a mail carrier at the postoffice
He hired a negro to collect waste
paper for him. His business grew to
such proportions that he found it nee
essary to resign and build a plant. He
has been adding to this investment
for the last seven years until he had
a business that reached to all parts o1
the country. He said today that he
! did not know of his plans for the fu-
ture.
No other property in the vicinity
was damaged. If the wind had beer
from the northwest, thousands OF
dollars in milling property would
have been endangered

TREATYWITH GERMANY
New Russian Republic, Ukrania,
Reaches Agreement With Kaiser.

Amsterdam, Jan. 21.-The negot.a-

the Ukranian peoples republic at
Brest-Litovsk have resulted in an
agreement on the principles of a peace
treaty which is to be concluded and
the war be declared terminated ac-
cording to advices from Brest-I4itovsk
today.
Ukranian's independence has been
recognized by Petrograd, but it had
heretofore been thought and appar-
emily understood by the Bolsheviki
delegates that Ukraianian delegates at
BreSt-Litovsk would act in concert
with other Russian Representatives
Cables last week carried a hint of
the diSpleasure of Bolsheviki delegates
over the separate peace conferences
which the Ukrainians were holding
with the Germans.
Ukrainia occupies parts of Poland,
Lithuania and Courtland.

The wind was blowing IL miles an

Topekans need expect no surcease
from the present brand of cold and

in the predictions of the weather bu-
reau Meteorologist Flora said this
morning that there is q possibility,
and good one. that Topeka may
have a little snow tonight. but he did
not say anything about any sudden

among the lay prognosticators of the
city that this week would be the cold

weather bureau denies this emphatf-

prospect of any severe cold in Topeka
this week. The lowest temperature
