Why grieve for the things that are

Why weep for the flowers in summer

KEEP LIGHTS ON
Governments Electric Sign Or
der Remains in Force.
banner Backs Up on His Total
Darkness Decree.

Topeka must shut off her lights
only two nights each week, according
to an order from c. H. Danner, local
fuel administrator. The announce
ment this afternoon is based on rul-
ing from S. n. Hawkes.. assistant at
torney general to the effect that the
every night lightless order is illegal.
Following his drastic fuel order as
affecting Topeka mercantile estab-
Iishments, Danner supplemented the
original order with a decree that all
unnecessary lights must be turned out
every night until further orders. This
order is recinded. Topeka may now
use her white way. The stores may
light their buildings Electric signs
may be displayed. The shut down will
occur only on Thursday and Sunday
nights All other nights. Topeka may
forget the gloom and depression and
at least let the world know she is on
the map.

Only Food, Fuel and War NUM-
tiOnS Can Be Moved.
Affects Only Penn. Lines, b. &
o. and p. & r. Railroads.
WEATHER IS RESPONSIBLE
Emphasizes Move Is To Spe-
cialize on Coal Shipments.
Says Tieup Is Worst Thruout
Allegheny Region.

Washington. Jan. 23.-An embargo
on all freight except food, fuel and
war munitions on the Pennsylvania
lines east of Pittsburg, Baltimore &
Ohio east of the Ohio river, and the
Philadelphia & Reading was au-
thorized today by Director General
McAdoo.
The action was taken on recom-
merdation of A. H. Smith, assistant
director general in charge of trans
portation in the east. No reference
was made to the recommendation for
an embargo submitted last night by
Fuel Administrator Garfield. The en-
barge is temporary and is expected to
last only few days.
Acts on Smiths Suggestion.
"On account of the extremely severe
weather which has particularly af-
fected operation of railroads crossing
the Allegheny mountains" said the
railroad administration announcement,
Director General McAdoo, upon the
recommendation of Regional Director
Smith, has authorized him to place an
embargo upon all freight except food,
fuel and such war munitions and war
supplies as are specifically approved
by the war department upon the
Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg,
Baltimore & Ohio east of the Ohio
river, anu the fSedQ1fIS
for the purpose of enabling those lines
to continue specializing upon coal for
the double purpose of supplying the
acute conditions in New England and
the harbor of New York and else
where and in the provision of empty
cars for mines and coke ovens"
The practical effect of this order
will not greatly change condition OF
the last few days. it was stated by
railroad administration officials. since
local embargoes already have been de-
clared by many eastern railroads.
MeAdoo Changed His Mind.
An embargo on everything but food
fuel and munitions has been under
consideration for several, days. Up to
last night, however. the director gen
eral was not favorable to a genera
embargo, believing that railroads soor
would be able to move the entire vol
ume of accumulated freight. This
hope was shattered last night by the
continuation of bad weather and snow
almost everywhere east of the Missis-
sippi.
A threatened serious coal shortage
in New York also is said to have has
tened the decision.

PUSH R. R. BILL /!
Success of Next Liberty Loan
Depends on 1t, Says McAdOO.
Govt Must Raise 10 Billion
Dollars Before End of June.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Ten billion
dollars must be raised before June 80,
Director General McAdoo testified be-
fore the house interstate commerce
committee today.
Congressional delay in passing the
railroad legislation Will seriously
hamper this gigantic work and is en-
dangering flotation of the next liberty
loan, he warned.
The savings banks and other de-
positories of the average man hold
more than 00,000.000 in railroad
securities, sufficient to spell failure
for the next liberty loan unless the
holders are assured by legislation that
the government is guaranteeing these
securities" he said.
Il therefore must earnestly beg you
to expedite this measure"
Cut Passenger Traffic.
To curtail travel on the National
railroad during the war, Director Cen
eral McAdoo may soon increase pas
senger rates. Passenger trains also
may be further reduced later.
Before the passenger service can
be reduced much more, in order to
prevent many disturbances, the great
amount of travel must be decreased
When that time comes 1 think the
rates ought to be raised
Representative Winslow, Massachu
sets, charged that many railway en-
ployes, believing they are in the gov
ernment's employ. are growing lax in
their work.
McAdoo sharply denied the charge,
saying his reports indicated the con-
trary. The spirit OF both officers and
employees in this respect is most graft
flying the director-general said.

SHUTDOWN ENDS
Industries Halted by Fuel Or
der Resume Operation.
5-Day Suspension Failed To
Clear Congested Railroads.

Washington, Jal.- 23.-America's in
dustries, idle for the past five days
under the fuel administration's closing
order, resumed operations today in
the face of a congested transportation
situation east of the Mississippi,
threatening daily to become worse
from adverse weather conditions.
At the same time Mr. McAdoo, of
the railroads, was considering pro-
posals of the fuel administration to
embargo all freight except coal and
food for the rest of the week. at least
to insure an adequate movement of
those commodities
Shortage Still Serious.
Chicago, Jan. 23.-Illinois industries
resumed operation today after the
five-day shutdown decreed by Fuel
Admin strator Garfield, still facing a
serious coal shortage.
The recent billiards.. with the at
tendant tie-up of transportation
created a shortage of a million tons
in the state, according to State Fuel
rapidly approaching normal condi-
tions, but at the same time we are
facing a coal shortage of a million
tons, whereas a shor' time ago we
estimated our deficit would be only
half a Million said Williams
Was SaIvs ton of Chicago.
Cars that were held up in Chicago
by the storm have returned from the
mines The circuit is complete and
the railroad situation is getting bet
ter every day. 1 am confident that
the five-day shutdown was the saliva
ton of Chicago"
The schools will remain closed an
other week it is believed. If they
reopen next week it will be with only
one-half day sessions.
5-Day 'Tieup Didn't Help.
Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 23.-Traffic
conditions in Indiana today are in the
same congested condition that they
were five days ago, when Doctor Gar
fields closing order went into effect.
The coal movement has not been
speeded up.
This was the statement today of
j. W. Coneys, federal railroad rep
resentative in Indiana.
But Seaboard Got Coal.
At the end of the five-day restric-
ton period no official could say today
Just what were the effects of the in
dustriai shutdown except that it had
got coal to seaboard for ships.

holders were fewer than they had
been for weeks. Railroad congestion

pc no disposition among the mer-
chants to "howl'' about the order.
Mitchell Gives Views.
Charles L. Mitchell, who was chair
man of the committee that arranged
tonlghts conference, took the floor,
and with his dynamic energy forced
the meeting to head What ought
to be done tonight is this said Mitch
ell, talk the matter over in a busi-
nesslike way and don't take advantage
of the occasion to throw abuse at Dan
ner.' Mitchell, too, said that Danner
was laboring under difficulties when
he issued the order. "Danner in re-
sponse to his appeal to the merchants
for advice received telephone answers
only to his appeal, and that from only
four merchants of Topeka"
Mitchell then caused the meeting to
be broken up into its component parts,
the drygoods and clothing merchants
in one group to themselves alone, the
meat and grocery men to themselves
and the various branches of business
IN their own particular groups. These
groups were to nominate a spokesman
for each business to represent that
business at the meeting tonight with
definite ideas as to what that particu-
lar group thought equitable in modi-
Tying the present closing order.
The probable spokesman for the
various classes of merchants at the
conference with Emerson Carey, state
fuel dictator, and c. H. Danner
county fuel dictator. which will be
held tonight at the Chamber of Com
merce will be: Fred Voiland for the
Kansas avenue merchants; William
Green for the grocers; G. L. Hooper
for the theater men; Harper Rigby
for the pool and billiard halls; and
some prominent barber to be selected
for the BARRIERS.
Just after the noon hour. C. w. Ma g
CART, president of the ministerial union
announced that an agreement had
been reached with Dictator DanneI
whereby the churches will abolish al
services except that Sunday morning
Under this agreement, it is understood
that the churches of the city will cease
to have Sunday evening services and
will stop the Thursday night prayer
meetings. as well as the other gather
ings that are held from time to time
on week days and nights in the
churches of the city. When asked con-
cerning this Danner said, That is cor
| rect. The churches will hold no meet
| ings except that one on Sunday morn
! ings. There will be no definite order
| issued to this effect"

IT'S BUNK, SAYS HOUSE
Mayor Calls Danner Fuel Order
MOSTLY CamoufIage."

Topeka business men today are
taking an unusual interest in the fuel
situation. The fact that food stores
are allowed two hours less day than
pool halls has aroused the ire of both
consumers and grocerymen. Mayor
House has offered the suggestion that
the grocery stores might get relief by
installing a couple of pool tables in
the rear of their stores.
Il would not by word or deed do
anything that would hurt the cause"
said Mayor House today, but I'll not
hesitate to say that the fuel admins

peka is mostly camouflage."
