Issues Tickets Monday
Monday morning Administrator
Schley will send out the first batch of
tickets to be issued to the poor in CO.
operation with the Mayors Committee
Of Women on National Defence. The
tickets to be sent out first are spcci-
mems only, in order to acquaint the
small dealers to whom they are adj
dressed with the working Of tho new
system.
Evidences of n still greater shortage
of floating equipment, such as barges
and tugs, we're seen yesterday in the
reduced activities at the Jersey ter
minals Of the coal-hauling railroads.
In some cases the main obstacle in tho
way Of handling coal, it was agreed,
was that fuel was not being moved
through the snow-blocked districts of
Pennsylvania. But at others it was
again declared to be due to the short
age of barges, many of which have
been sunk or so damaged as to be use
less in their battles with the ice foes

Townley, Bankrupt,
Controls Funds of
Farmers League
Income of Non-P artisan
Organization $3,5 100000,
He Says
ISpecial Co,respond

FARGO, N. D., Feb LIN bank
cmptiou from payment of $4,000 in
debts, against which he lists assets Of
only $500, A. c. Townley, president Of
the National Non-Partisan League, ad-
mitted before Referee Charc at Bis
marck yesterday that he had directed
the finances of the league and its afiili-
ated enterprises, having joint income
Of $5,500,oo0. The proceedings are the
outgrowth Of Townley's farming opera
tons.
Townley testified that each Of the
10000 members of the n-Partisan
League contributed SIC for a two-year
membership. The organization also
collected $960,ooO through the Con-
sumers' United Stores Company, farm
crs paying hundreds of dollars for the
privilege of dealing at the company'a
stores. In addition. the witness dis
closed, the league collected s150,ooo
through the sale OF stock in the League
Exchange, which, he said, financed the
league. Townley further said that he
handled $2S0,000 Of league money prior
TO December l, 1916, in the leagues
first campaign, which resulted in TAX
ing over the North Dakota administra-
tlon.
Townley's testimony indicated that
the president OF the Non-Partisan
League has entire control of its tinan-
cial policies and those of its affiliated
corporations. Townley admitted that
lie was the sponsor of the plan by
which farmers contribute money for
the establishment of Consumers United
Stores.
In one instance. he said, COO farmers
had contributed 500 each, 100000 be
ing thus gathered in. Only S1O,0 was
needed to establish the stores, and the
balance of the fund was used for "edu-
cational and propaganda purposes"
Farmers received no stock in the COM
pany, merely the right to purchase
goods at the stores for period of ten
years, at the end of which time the
company took over the stores, as we'll
as the surplus collected in excess of
10000.

Violators Of Monday Closing
Face Fines and Jail Terms
Third Workless and Heatless Day To Be More Rigidy
Enforced-No Mercy To Be Shown Offenders
Local Fuel Administrators Declare

New York's third workless Monday
not only will find the lid tightly
clamped down upon all forms Of indus
trial activity, but 81 promise Of the
maximum Of punishment for violators
of the closing decree and minimum of
discomfort for those who bow to it's
restrictions.
Punishment for violators Of the or
der, with possible Jail terms and heavy
fines, will be made certain through
closer coordination Of police, secret
service and investigators from the Of
fees Of the fuel administrators, details
of which will be worked out to-day.
The hardships Of the first two workless
days will be lessened through Il read
justment of hours of business for small
grocers and delcatcssens, which will
be permitted to remain open until 6
o'clock in the evening, instead of until
noon only.
No Mercy for Violators
"Our sole purpose is to conserve fuel
with the minimum Of discomfort for
those who aid in the movement" said
Reeve Schley, Fuel Administrator for
New York County, yesterday, on an
nouncing the changes. "But those who
seek to evade the terms Of the closing
order may expect no mercy. The cvi-
dence will be turned over to Federal
prosecutors for immediate action"
Even reports that this may be the last
of the Garfield voorhees, Mondays did
not result in any change in plans on
the part of the fuel administrators or
reducing the energy Of the special in
vestigators who will enforce the clos
ing decree. Prospects that the work
less days might be brought to sud-
den conclusion were found in state
ment made by Floyd w. Parsons, editor

Danger Is Imminent
Streams in Middle West Over
flow Banks and Are Still
Rising

WASHINGTON, Feb. ii caring Sc
rious foods in the Middle West and
South within few days, the govern
mcnt railroad administration to-day
rushed empty cars westward from the
eastern congestion area to provide for
an emergency movement Of corn TO Gle
vators and cotton to Southern scaports
for transshipmcnt to New England
mills engaged on government orders.
This was undertaken without any
dimnuton Of efforts to transport coal
from the mines to consumption points,
where to-day the fuel reserves were re-
ported as near the zero mark as at any
time within the last two weeks. Owing
to the absence Of new snow to-day and
the steady work of clearing tracks OF
accumulated ice piles, the movement of
coal was slightly better, and officials
predicted slight improvement for the
next few days.
Danger Looms Large
The danger Of floods loomcd large,
however, with forecasts Of warmer
weather tomorrow for the Middle
West and the gradual eastward move
ment of the thawing area. The Ohio
River already flows through an ice
gorge seventy miles long, between Ohio
and West Virginia and Kentucky, &C
cordng to reports to-day to Director
General McAdoo, and a slight thaw over
it's northern watershed might send it
week and endanger railroad bridges.
Other streams in the Middle West and
! South already have overl!owed and are
still rising.
Special efforts are to be made TO
transport corn, much Of which this year
is soft, and must reach elevators quick

Progress Is Satisfactory
Satisfactory progress was reported
during the day in the movement Of

were diverted several days ago to avoid
the eastern rail and harbor congestion.
To New England the flow Of coal was
better than yesterday and promised to
improve further tomorrow. Transport
tation conditions in the Central Penn

improved. West Virginia was still

President Goes Over Dis
-
puted Points With Senate
Commerce Committee
Interstate Board
To Make Rates
Government Control Limit
=. ed to Is Months After
War Is Ended

WASHINGTON, Feb. l. - Prospects
Of an early agreement in Congress on
the Administration railroad bill bright
ened to-day when members of the SEN
3 ate Interstate Commerce Committee
returned from White House confer
.erce with word that the President did
not desire to have the Interstate Com
merce Commission deprived of its rate
making powers under government oper-
alton Of the carriers.
Soon after the conference the COM
mittee wrote into the bill provisions
limiting government control of rail-
roads to eighteen months after the
war and authorizing the President to
initiate rates, subject to appeal to the
Interstate Commerce Commission. This
proposal, which was adopted by vote
of II to 4, was q compromise Of the
committees differences and eliminates
the most serious obstacle to prompt
enactment of the measure.
Prepared by subcommittee
The agreement was prepared by q
ub-committee, consisting of Senators
Robinson and Townsend, appointed to
iron out the difficulties over the fixing
OF period for government operation
and opposition to giving the President

Flag Makers Charged With
Profiteerinp Settle Case

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Complaints
against certain flag makers and the
Association Of Flag Makers of America,
which grew out Of an investigation or
dered by the Senate on alleged prof
iteering in flags, were settled by agree
ment to-day with the Federal Trade
Commission. The association has been
dissolved, and the members are agreed
not to do anything which the commits
sion would construe as protiteering and
unfair trade practice.
1t was alleged that manufacturers
took advantage of the big demand for
the national emblem, when the United
States entered the war, to raise prices
to abnormal figures.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-02

power to fix rates. Those voting in
favor of the compromise were Senators
Smith, chairman, Of South Carolina;
Pomerenc, Myers, Robinson. Salisbury,
Thompson, Lewis and Underwood, Dem
ccrats, and Townsend, Watson and
Kellogg, Republicans. Those opposed
were Senator's Gore (Democrat) and
Cummins, Poindextcr and La Toilette,
Republicans.
Before the agreement was submitted
to the committee it was taken to the
White House by Chairman Smith and
Senator Underwood
AS finally approved, the bill will pro-
vide that government control of trans
portation shall continue for eighteen
months after the war terminates, in
stead of until Congress shall there
after order otherwise" as originally
drawn, or for one year, as provided by
Senator Watson's amendment, adopted
earlier in the week. 1t gives the Presi
dent authority to initiate rates, as the
railroads are empowered to do under
the existing laws, but if either the car
riers or shippers object, an appeal can
be taken to the commission, which will
make the final decision. This power to
initiate rates under the bill continues
during the period of Federal control,
instead oil during the war, as had been
suggested.
Expect Early Report
The committee continued its consid-
Grafton of other features of the bill,
and Chairman Smith hopes to be able
to report it to the Senate early next
week. He said that, now that the two
principal objections to the measure as
introduced had been removed, quick
progress in its consideration would be
made.
Discussion of the bill continued to-
day in the House committee, and while
there was some opposition to any lin
itation of government operations, most
Of the members seemed to favor pro-
posal that the government control be
limited to two years after the ratiica-
ton of the treaty of peace. 1t was
unanimously agreed that the committee
vote on the question by 8 p. m. to-
morrow.

ago had his neck broken in an acct
dent in a local mine and who re-
turned aere recently from San Fran
cisco, where he had been under
treatment in a hospital, returned to
San Francisco Sunday morning.
When he came here Clingan vas in
excellent condition and continued
that way for some time, but OF late
his condition has been growing
worse, caused, according to physi-
clans here and in San Francisco, by
this altitude affecting his nerv-
Gus system. He will not re-enter a
hospital and 1t is believed that again
being at sea level will cause him to
improve at the rate he was before
coming here.

PROGRAM

The Knights of Columbus wal
fund carnival last night in the Hip.
podrome presented a program thai

ed several that alone were worth
the price of admission.
An excellent program of vocal
and instrumental music was given
with songs by Mrs. j. G. Thompson
Mrs. Forrest Warren, Mrs. Arrow.
smith, Tom Maroney and Jack Ally,
ward, the last named rendering in
his inimitable way two songs in
dialect.
Before the program opened John
F.. Kunz delivered a patriotic ad-
dress explaining the purposes OF
the Knights of Columbus wal fund,
which was an excellent wartime eff
fort.
Opening the athletic part of the
program were a number of three
round boxing bouts. and the pro-
gram was closed with a boxing
bout. Some of them resulted in
one of the contestants being award
ed with a decision as a result of
his labors and others did not, be-
ing declared draws by Referee Billy
Shue, who at the end of the first
bout was asked by one Of the rail
birds, BILLY, who will win the next
one?"
In normal times an account OF the
bouts, a history of the contestants
and who the bouts were won by
might be of interest, but in these
stirring times, with a world war on
and congress in session, this is a
matter of Comparatively small mo-
ment.
A wrestling match between Vic
tor Ajax and Charlie Pine was a
different matter and proved the big
feature of the athletic program. At
the end of the match, in which
Pine was on the defensive through
out, neither man had gained a fall.
although on numerous occasions
Pine had narrow escapes from be-
ing thrown.
A number of the prides of differ
ent regions were introduced from
the ring. They all challenged
someone to combat or had already
done so and been accepted.
