FELT AT CHEYENNE, WYO.

Cheyenne, We, Nov. 10.-With the
mercury a little above zero--the cold
est of the season-Cheyenne today be-
gan to face the pinch of coal FAM
inc that threatens to make the city
lightless so far as concerns electricity,
and heatless over big part of the
downtown section.
Coal is being rationed out in 200
pound lots at 81 ration. Before an
order is filled the city fuel admins
tration sends a representative to in
vestigate the bin of the applicants to
make sure it contains no fuel.
Scores of families have reported they
are without fuel today.
The Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Pow
er company, which supplies the city
with electric light and gas and heats
the downtown business buildings with
steam, today indicated it might be
forced to close unless fuel could be
had within a few days.
Other Wyoming towns are said to
be virtually ''in the same boat with
Cheyenne.
Governor Robert D. Carey today is
sued a proclamation calling upon
those who have more than enough
coal for immediate use to share their
supply with less fortunate neighbors.
He also urged the mayors of incor-
porated towns to appoint local fuel
administrators to ration fuel.

Washington, Nov. 10.-MeXico will

tion of the Carranza government was
announced in note from Hilario Me-

at Mexico City, in reply to the recent
demand of the state department that
Mexico omit no effort to effect the
release of William O. Jenkins, even
though it be necessary for the MeXi-
can government to pay the ransom
to the bandits who captured the
American consular agent
The text of Medina's note as pub
lished in Mexico City, was received
today in Washington 1t was under
date of November B.
IF it should be claimed in this, or
any other case" the note said, that
the Mexican government should pay
any sum by way of ransom, the gov
ernment would be in the painful no
cessity of not accepting such de-
mand, declaring categorically that Il
will not pay any ransom for Mr..
Jenkins, even though it should be
proved legally in the investigation
now being carried on by the author
ties of Puebla that the consul was
compelled to pay any sum or that he
had already made such payment. (Mr.
Jenkins counsel paid the $50 600
ransom demanded by his captors.)

though it recognizes the obligation i

lieves that this protection should be

PERMANENT RAIL.
PROGRAM BEFORE
THE LOWER HOUSE
Interstate Commerce Commit
tee Rejects Untried Plans,
But Builds On a Foundation
Already in Existence

Washington, Nov. 10.-Under per-
manent railroad legislation formally
reported to the house today by Chair
man Esch, of the interstate COM
merce committee, the railroads mus
make application to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for a genera
increase of rates within sixty days
after their return to private opera
ton, January /.
The house comittee in its report
said it did not attempt to adopt new
and untried plans, but had built on q
foundation already in existence.
Government ownership was reject
ed, it was explained because of the
presidents announced intention to re-
turn the lines to private operation a.
the end of the year, the desire foi
such action by the carriers, and the
widespread demand among the peo
pie that federal control cease as soon
as suitable legislation could be en-
acted"
"The Plumb plan also was rejected
the report said, because its provisions
were 80 radical and the principles so
foreign to the fundamental principles
of our government that II was con.
sidered by the committee as impos-
sible."
Opposing creation of transporta-
ton board, as proposed in The sena
measure, the report said such an or
ganization to advise the Interstate
Commerce Commission would be
needless and expensive burden, more
subject to political influence than the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Referring to the labor provisions OF
the house bill, creating boards for the
voluntary arbitration of disputes pc
tween employees and carriers, the re-
port declared fulfilment of wage con
tracts by both carriers and workers
was essential
The report of Chairman Cummins'
of the senate interstate commerce
committees bill also was presented
today. Anti-strilSe provisions OF the
measure are defended.
Both strikes and lockouts mus
cease" said the report. They can
10 longer be tolerated in free coun-
try. The government must settle
strikes between galway managers ana
employees"
Senator Cummins said the labor
adjustment boards proposed plar
would provide complete, impartial
Justice to both railway corporations
and employees and to the public az
we'll"
The report said the governments
loss during the two years operation of
the roads would be about s6Vo,Ooo,-

SHOUP THREATENS
To USE FORCE TO
SUBDUE STUDENTS
Governor Says He viii Call
Out Troops If the Students
at Colorado Colleges Do.
Not Stop Fighting


Denver, Colo, Nov. 10.-Governor
Shoup viii use troops to suppress
fighting between the students of the
University of Denver and the Colorado
School of Mines. If necessary, the gov
ernor said today in a proclamation is
sued from the executive offices.
Trouble between the schools broke
out on November 6, when. it Is al
legged men from the School Of Mines
exploded dynamite on the campus at
the University of Denver, On No
vemher Z, students from the Univer-
sity of Denver. who went to Golden
for the purpose, it is alleged, of
painting the School of Mines emblem
an" on Mount Zion. were captured by
Golden students who painted the
School of Mines emblem on the fore
heads of the Denver men.
The governors proclamation said:
ut is high time that the manage
ment and control of the Colorado
School of Mines and the Denver Uni
versity exercise their authority and
put a stop to the lawlessness that has
disgraced the state the past few days
in which students Of these institutions
are alleged to have played the leading
parts.
"Why students of these Institutions
of learning should be allowed to
handle dynamite or other explosives,
and wilfully destroy the peoples prop
erty is more than law-abiding citizens
can comprehend. The past ten days
federaliZed state troops have been in
the coal fields to preserve life and
property and to see that the laws are
not violated, and | hope 1t will not
be necessary to send troops to Denver
University and the School of Mines in
order to suppress lawlessness. These
miners of coal are not allowed to
handle dynamite or weapons promis-
cuously, and students in our colleges
have no more rights to do SO than the
miners.
"As I have previously remarked,
the high and the humble are on an
equal plane in their obligation to re-
spect the law, and executive author
ity will certainly have to be used un-
less the students referred to cease
their lawless activities and become
once more law-abiding citizens"

Washington Makes Elaborate
Preparations For FittingIy
Commemorating Greatest
Event In All History,
GERMANY BROUGHT TO
KNEES ONE YEAR AGO
Generals PerShing and March
to Plant Two Trees Today
in Lafayette Square, To Put
On a Mimic War,

Washington, Nov. 10.-As darkness
fell over the national capital tonight
three huge Illuminated crosses shown
out from the high walls of the war
risk insurance bureau building, across
Lafayette square from the White
House, and the celebration of Armis-
tice day, the first anniversary of the
cessation of hostilities in the world
war began. The giant symbols were
formed by light pouring from selected
windows in the otherwise dark fa-
cades of the great structure, and one
of them looked directly down on the
square where official Washington will
DIN tomorrow in celebrating the new
anniversary.
To the country at large formal mes
sages commemorating the day were
sent out by President Wilson, MEM
bers of his cabinet and General Per-
shing.
Secretary Daniels in message, re-
called "the exaltation of joy which
swept the world a year ago when the
fighting stopped in France.
ut is for US in America he said,
ito say whether the supreme sacri-
flee of those who died or the equally
heroic service of those who lived
shall or shall not have been made in
vain. The eyes Of the world are upon
the people of the United States. The
easy way is to withdraw from the re-
sponsbilities which we voluntarily as
sumed the day the first American
fighting man crossed the sea. That
way would make the treaty OF Paris
as miserable a document as the treaty
of Vienna after the Napoleonic wars
Secretary Lansing in his message
said the celebration of Armistice day
was q fitting commemoration of the
admission of defeat by the malignant
power which for over four years had
devastated Europe"
'"As we labored to overcome the
armed foe of liberty" he said in part,
80 must we labor to restore that
that which was destroyed by that foe.
Until such restoration is accom-
plshed our task remains unfinished,
our duty is but partially performed"
Tomorrow, in the presence of cabi-
net officers, General Pershings and
March, and many other officials two
red wood trees will be planted in La
fayette square to commemorate the
day. An army firing platoon will take
part in the ceremony and later engage
in mimic warfare, with all the tools
that trench fighting in France devel-
oped
The service in the square will be
opened with an invocation by Lieut..
Belvin Maynard, the Flying Parson,"
who was first to complete the flight
in the recent transcontinental race.
From his plane high above the city
the aviator-preacher will speak by
telephone so that those below may
hear.

ONE OF PRIDE IN HEROISM
OF THOSE WHO DIED IN WAR

Washington Nov. 10. - President
Wilson, General Pershing and Secre-
tary Baker issued statements to the
American people on the occasion of
the first anniversary of the signing of
the armistice.
The president said to Americans the
reflections of armistice day would be
filled with solemn pride in the hero
ism of those who died in the countrys
service and with gratitude for the
victory of both because of "the thing
from which 1t has freed us, and be-
cause of the opportunity it has given
America to show her sympathy with
peace and justice in the councils of
the nations"
The exercise by the American peo-
pie of practical patriotism during the
war General Pershing said, was an
avowal of their firm adherence to
the principles of free government that
will continue to have great influence
upon the progressive thought through
out the world.
mourning its dead, the country was
grateful for their achievement and
tor that of their living brothers and
that "in the name of both we may
hope for an early accomplishment of
the terms of peace that shall COM
plete their work upon the battlefields
of France"
President wilson's message follows:
ITO My Fellow Countrymen:
"A year ago today our enemies laid
down their arms in accordance with
an armistice which rendered them inn
potent to renew hostflities and paya
to the world an assured opportunity
to reconstruct its shattered order and
to work out in peace a new and 1uster
