MINOR INDUSTRIES TO GET
SMALLER SUPPLY OF COAL

DR.. Harry A. Garfield. United States
fuel administrator, has begun the cur
tailment of coal to Industries not essen
tial to the war. Manufacturers OF box
board, paperboard, strawboard and kim
dred products have been ordered to sus-
pend absolutely the use Of fuel In their
plants between o'clock Saturday morn
ings and the same hour Monday morn
ings
It is estimated that with Saturdays and
Sundays coalless days in this industry
200 tons of fuel o week, or 100000
tons a year. will be saved. Severe
penalties will be imposed ON any manu-
facturer violating the order.
This method of conserving coal by
shutting or manufacture for a stated
period of hours was deemed most effec-
tive by the fuel administration and by
the manufacturers themselves.
The paperboard makers were among
the first called in by DR.. Garfield for
his conferences with manufacturers not
engaged fin war work. through which IL
is proposed to reduce coal consumption
by perhaps 50.000,000 tons during the
looming year. They estimated the amount
of fuel they could save, and agreed to
cooperate in any plan that might be
agreed upon.
Similar orders affecting other.>indus-
tries. probably nearly 100 in all. will be
issued lator.

REPLIES TO TENANTS SUIT.
Representative Crago's Charges in
Ousting Case Denied by Company,
.3X8

Denying that they are taking ad-
vantage of the war situation to raise
the rents on their apartments, the
Fidelity Storage Company today filed
its answer in the District Supreme
Court to the suit of Representative
Thomas s. Crago of Pennsylvania to
prevent the company from ousting him
from his apartments at the Farnsboro
and renting them to a third party at
increased rental.
The storage company asserts that
Mr. Crago filed his suit "for political
reasons" 1t denies that he had a
yearly lease on the apartment at 81 200.
but month-to-month lease at $135 a
month. 1t is claimed by the defendant
that it offered the apartment to Mr..
Crago at an annual rental of $1,000.
but that he refused, saying he did not
expect to be in Washington after
March, 1917.
Regarding Mr.. Crago's charge that
defendant was taking advantage of the
war and was asking excessive rents.
the storage company said that they
elect to stand on their legal rights.
having been unjustly accused and
given an undeserved and unjustifable
lnotoriety as seeking to take advantage
of persons having occasion to rent

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. IA pro-
test against enforcing the store
closing section of the fuel admins
tration's recent order IN North Da-
kota border line towns was wired
Washington this afternoon by Capt.
/. p. Baker, in response to a tele-
gram from the conservation division
of the United States fuel admins
tration suggesting that this provis-
ion of DR.. Garfield's order be ap-
piled to all North Dakota towns
within three miles of 'the Mime
sofa border" because Of the injus-
tice done to merchants in cities in
Minnesota, near the border"
In his answer, Capt. Baker tele-
graphed that it is pot regarded ad-
visable to apply thd order to North
Dakota towns, which are much larg-
er in comparison than the nearby
Minnesota towns, and that the
Minnesota merchants should be re-
lieved from the restrictions Of the
Monday closing order, IL they suf-
fer injustice.
1t is probable, says Capt. Baker,
that North Dakota will be spared
the severity of the regulations in
question.
Capt. Baker also wired the federal
fuel administration protesting
against a suggestion made this
morning that an embargo be placed

Last Friday, the fuel administrator
of South Dakota issued an order
closing business in South Dakota
towns within three miles OF the Min
nesota border, doing so at the sug-
gestion of the federal fuel admins
tration.
At that time no step was taken by
the North Dakota fuel administrator,
nor was any suggestion made to him
relative to the proposal.

Following the school bonding cleo
tion Wednesday, in which the pro-
L.posal to issue S240, 900 in bonds for
the construction of a combination
grade and high school was ratified
by vote Of 1887 to S11, a margin of
576 votes, as indicated in the table
at the head of this column, John
Frame, member of the Fargo board Of
education, left for Bismarck Wednes-
day evening to confer with state Of
ficiaIs with respect to the purchase
by the board of school and university
lands Of the bonds.
The board recently went on record
as faVoring the purchase Of the
bonds, and necessary steps to COM
plete the purchase are being taken
today. Mr.. Frame will present to the
attorney general the complete record
Of the proceedings to date Of the
Fargo board of education with re-
spect to the bond issue. so that the
record may be made clear for the
state board.
1t is likely that a resolution to sell
the bonds will be passed by the board
of education at an adjourned meet
ing to be held Friday evening, on
Mr.. Frames return from Bismarck.
1t is the present plan Of the board
Of education to call bids for the con-
struction of the high school not later
than March 15 The general con-
tract also will call for the razing Of
the present Central high school
building, and the use in the new
structure Of such material as may be
available.
The result of the Wednesday bond
ing election. announced in the extra
edition of The Forum Wednesday
afternoon, was received with genuine
satisfaction by the board of educa-
tion and the people of Fargo gener-
ally, who, despite the comparatively
small ballot cast, expressed them
selves most decidedly as to their
wishes in the school construction
program.
An examination Of the statement
of votes, as canvassed by the city
commissioners Wednesday evening,
reveals the fact that the women were
more generally in favor of the build
ing program than were the men.

Perfect Order
On Board After
Torpedo Struck
(By Associated Press.)

Londonderry, Ireland, Feb. T.
Proof OF the order which prevailed
on the Tuscania is given by the land
ing Of two typhoid and two pneu-
monia. cases without bad effect.
Forty Of the survivors were taken
to hospitals. In the majority Of
cases they are suffering from injur-
les as a result of accidents in the
lowering Of lifeboats or in conse-
quence Of sliding down ropes.
The survivors are proud of the be-
havior Of the only two women on the
Tuscania. They went down a rope
in fine style, laughing.
AT 7:45 o'clock Tuesday evening,
said Thomas Smith, Of Glasgow, a
boatswain's mate on the Tuscania,
Il was in No. / room talking with a
fellow boatswain when / heard n
terrific explosion and felt the vessel
heeling over. / said to my mate:
They've got her now
We commenced lowering boats on
the starboard side. The soldiers
were lined up on deck waiting for
the boats. Unfortunately many
jumped overheard.
Il found the boat at No. Q station,
to which proceeded, had been blown
to pieces. ] then helped to get boats
ga, 9-B, and &C away with full COM
plements and the second officer got
boats one TO seven safely away.
After seeing these launched I
proceeded to the other deck where
/ launched a raft. picked up four
teen soldiers and two of the ships
company who were swimming about.
We had no cars and had to paddle
along with our hands. We were
picked up at o'clock in the even
ing and landed Wednesday morning.
The first survivors were landed at
4:30 o'clock Wednesday morning.
From then until a. m, many patrol
boats arrived, each bringing a full
complement Of survivors, the number
OF which by that time had reached
$50, including 40 members of the
crew.
All the medical men at Larne. on
the eastern coast Of Ireland where
some Of the survivors were landed,
were reuuisitioned.

Washington, Feb. 7. - Torped0ed
and sunk by a German submarinc.
the Cunard liner Tuscania. lies at
the bottom OF the North Atlantic
ocean today and 210 men OF tha
Thirty second national guard division
are missing.
On the basis OF figures reported to
the war and state departments here
the missing would be 210. The
figures Of the British admiralty as
they stood early today. placed the
missing American troopers at 16s,
but a later statement confirmed the
other figure giving the number on
board as 1887 and the number saved
as 2.1S7.
The position OF the Tuscania of
the north coast Of ireland. evidently
headed for England. was such that
numbers OF British patrol ships and
other vessels rushed 10 her side and
in that way the losses were minimiz-
ed.
Such reports as were at hand early
today gave no details Of how the
transport, supposedly heavily con-
voyed, fell in with the submarine,
but it was regarded as more prob
able that the ship stumbled on the
submersible, rather than that the
disaster was the first shot In the
much advertised German offensive
against the line of American troops
and supplies.
The war department issued the FOL.
lowing statement:
British authorities have wired
instructions 10 their commands in
Scotland and ireland to AFFORD our
troops from the Tuscania every
possible assistance and to furnish
81 HHFsnF arts
Officers have been dispatched from
Liverpool and Glasgow and London.
to points in Ireland where survivors
now are and they will wire names
Immediately. American consul at
Belfast reports six hundred survivors
at Larne. AS soon as they are
properly outfitted they viii be
brought TO Winchester"
Baker Promises Details.
Secretary Baker issued the follow
ing statement:
THE sinking of the Tuscania
brings us face to face with the losses
of war in its most relentless form.
1T Is q fresh challenge to the CiviIiZ-
ed world by an adversary who has
refined, but made more deadly, the
stealth OF the savage in warfare. We
must win this war and we will win
this war. Losses like this unite the
country in sympathy with the
families or those who have suffered
loss: they also unite us to make
more determined our purpose 70
press on.
As rapidly as details come in, they
will be given TO the public, in order
to relieve anxiety where possible.
and notice will be sent as promptly
as possible to those whose sons and
brothers have been added TO the ma
tion's heroic dead"
