 RE GI0NAL DIRECTORS
 DUE ID COAL SHORTAGE
Situation is Extremely Serious and Immediate Action Necessary-If Director Hines AD- proves This Program Will Go Into Effect at Once.

Chicago, Nov. 1S--Director General of Railroads Walker D. Hines, and seven regional di- rectors will meet here late to- day to consider a nationwide freight embargo as a means of conserving the country's meagre supply of coal. Mir. Hines is expected to arrive in Chicago this afternoon.
 The condition growing out of the emergency were informally discussed this morning by the regional direct ors, who planned to have a definite program ready to submit to the di- rector general.
 An embargo on all freight on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail- road between Chicago and the Pacific coast has been in effect since Satur- day.
 If Director General Hines approves the recommendations of his regional directors an order may be issued inn mediately which will mean:
 Nationalwide embargo on freight.
 A 40 per cent. cut in passenger train service throughout the country
 Closing down of all non-essentia1 industries.
 Fifteen million workmen thrown out of employment.
 The situation is extremely serious and immediate action is necessary, " said P. H. Ashton, regional directH1 of the northwestern roads. My judgment is that a general embargo is the only way to meet the emer- gency."

NEWELL'S SANITARIUM
SUED FOR $4,000
MRS. EMMA c. MOORE SUES
FOR DEATH HUSBAND.
Charges That Nurse Allowed
Him to Fall Out of
Bed.

Charging that her husbands death
was due to the negligence of a nurse
at Newell sanitarium, Mrs. Emma G.
Moore Monday afternoon, in the cir
cult court filed suit against the sani-
tarium, and Drs. E. T. and E. Dunbar
Newell for $4,000 damages, The suit
grew out of the death of the COM
plainant's husband which was caused
the wife charges, by a fall he received
while a patient at the sanitarium.
The suit was brought through Tatum,
Thatch & Lynch, who stated Monday
afternoon that they had not thor
oughly investigated the facts in the
case and did not as yet like to state
just what the liability was, IL any.
They state they brought the suit for
Atty. c. G. Moore, relative of the
complainant.
The wife charges that several
months ago, as the result of run
away horse which her husband was
driving, he was thrown from his
buggy near Shellmound and suffered
a fractured skull. He was carried to
Newell's sanitarium where he was
given every attention possible. The
wife claims the husband continued
to improve until one day the nurse
left his bedside and as result the
patient fell from the bed and sus-
tanned injuries which, it is charged
later resulted in his death.
This is the second suit filed against
this same sanitarium in the past
several months, the first one being for
$4,000 upon charge that during an
operation DR.. Newell had sewed
