REGULATIONS TO
 HOLD INDEFINITELY

Washington, Dec. 9-In the face of an expected settlement of the bituminous coal strike at Indianapolis, Fuel Adminis~ trator Garfield put in effect to- day the most drastic regula- tions for fuel economy since the restrictions of 1918.
 Even if the strike were settled to- day, he declared, fuel saving meas ures would be necessary as several weeks would be required before the nations normal fuel supply could be restored
 Probably the most important regu- latIor that prescribed for manufac- turing plants using bitumtnuus coal or coke, which will be restricted to operation Of three days a week on the basis of the present working hours. Exception is made to plants rnanu- featuring what is considered neces- sary products and those consum.l.g < anthracite coal. gas and other fuels. It is understood that plants already having a supply Of soft coal on hand will not come under the provisions Of the order.
 The order, which will be admins tered through the railroad admins eration, includes curtailment of street lighting. lights and heat for office buildings and industrial! plants and current for street railways,

MI. SON WIRES LEWIS URGING MINERS ID

Washington, Dec. O1Secre- tary Wilson today sent a tele- gram 10 John L. Lewis. Acting President of the United Mine Workers of America. urging the miners to accept President Wilson's proposal for settle ment of the coal strike. The miners representatives arc to act on the proposal this after moon al Indianapolis.
 The PresidesIt, Secretary Wilson sad. had pointed way out with honor to the government and honor to yourselves"
 The telegram, which was addressed tHso to the members of the miners scale committee, follows:

Plenty Of Coal Says
 Secretary
Foresight of Business Men Will Enable Shops to
 Keep Going

Luckily for the residents of this city the local manufacturers and business men were foresighted enough to ac- cumulate a supply of both bituminous and anthracite ocal before the miners stopped working, otherwise the fac tories would be compelled to close for three days a week and the illumina- ton of all offices would have to stop at 4 o'clock each afternoon.
 It was at first thought that the or der of the Fuel Administrator affected those who had coal on hand as well as those who were obliged to obtain their supplies through the Fuel Ad- ministration but the officials in Wash ington have today construed the or der to apply only to those factories who are obliged to get their coal in the future through the Fuel Adminis- tratOr.
 George S. Hawley, of the Manu- facturers' Association today said that the local manufacturers had a fair supply of coal on hand and that as far as he could ascertain there was no shortage of coal in this city.
 Those who have a supply on hand can use it according to their discre- ton and they will not have to share it with others who are not so fortu- nate, as they were compelled to do during the war" said MT. Hawley.
 "The order as I understand it is for the purpose of equalizing the dis tributton of coal between \the East and the West. In the western part of the country the manufacturers do not store coal as they do in the East and when the strike came the West was hit hard, while the East, because of their habit of laying in a winter supply was fairly well supplied.
 Tt would have been very unfortu. nate if the order had applied to the factories in this city as it would have affected between 10000 and 50,O0B employees"

0 >OneI Holding Three
 For ROssignaI Murder
POLICE STILL ENDEAVORING TO LOCATE MORE OF MEN WHO PARTICIPATED IN
 FATAL AFFRAY

After Q day of Investigating and questioning, three men are now being .heId by Coroner John J. Pheian, in connection with the murder Of Harry RossingaI of 409 Capitol avenue which occurred sunday night on the East Side. The men who are now in cus- tOdy without bonds are Patsy Frenzo If l29 Willard street, at whose house 2ossigral was a visitor Sunday night, Andrew DeAIoro of 143 sherman street md Tony Funlaro of 130 Willard street. DeAIoro and Fumaro were ar -csted by detectives last night, and will be examined by Coroner PheIan within few days.
 All three were arraigned in the City court this morning, charged with nolled, and the men were then locked up on orders of the coroner.
 When arrested, De3Ioro and Flu marc claimed that they attended the party which was given at Frenzo's residence Sunday night. From infor- nation received by the police. how ever, Indications point to the fact that the men did not take part in the festivities. It is not known whether they were members of the gang which RossignaI and his friends en- countered at the corner of Willard and Pembroke street.
 The police are still trying to locate some Of'the Italians who participated in the fight 1t the corner. So far, however, their efforts have been un- successful. The gang seems to have covered it's tracks thoroughly since its disa appearance immediately after the stabbing.
 William H. May, of 249 Coleman street, Edward Bassett and Lorenzo Isivigina, of HarraI avenue, all of whom were arrested yesterday and questioned by Coroner Phelan have been released from custody. None of these men have been able to sup ply any information as to the actual facts of the murder.
 In an attempt to thrash out the details of the mystery, the police questioned many of RossignaTs friends and acquaintances, but so far these people have disclaimed any knowI- edge of the affair. Further arrests are expected, however, and it is be- Heved that the police will be able to establish the identity of the murderer within a short time.

HOPE ID RAISE S1,5OO,OOO BY
 ZONE SYSTEM
Company Gould Have Been Helped By Removing
 Titneys.

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 9--- Harry M, Burke. who IS representing the Man chester commuters at the hearing on the zone system of trolley fare charges before the public utilities commission. at the capitol, was chosen by attorneys interested in the pro- tests as their spokesman today The hearing was resumed from the point left of yesterday with General Man agre John Punderford on the stand explaining some of the financial eX- periences of the Connecticut con pany. With MT. Burke will be w. P. Seeley, who represents Bridgeport, and Judge w L. Bennett, corporation counsel of New Haven. as assisting questioners.
 MT. PunderfoTd said in answer to MT, Burkc's questions that the com pany expected. or rather hoped, to get S1,5OO,000 more revenue from the zone system.
 Chairman Higgins of the comnis- sion asked MT. Punderford what re lief the company had requested of the last general assembly. The reply was that the company could have retained the six cent fare and possibly have reduced it to five cents had the legislature removed some of the bur dens, such as street paving, highway bridge repairs, and could have help- ed by removing the competition by jiIneys.
 MT. SeeIey, for Bridgeport petition CTS, said that the company's wit nesses had shown the company to be insolvent MT. Burke said he did not agree that the Connecticut Co was insOIvent.
 On motion of Judge J. P. Futile of Hartford. a recess was ordered, dur ing which attorneys conferred.
 On resumption of the testimony Mir. Burke asked MT. Punderford if it were not so, that at a hearing in De- cember, 1916, on a protest against the six cent fare, the corporation counsel of Hartford had suggested the zone system. MT. Punderford re- called that this was so and he added that the zone system now in use is unique so far as the United States is concerned, that it was the only one of its particular kind in operation.
 Reply to MT. Burke the general manager admitted that it was not un- til the last legislature failed relief that a zone system was considered.
 MT. Punderford admitted that the company does not know whether the zone system will be a success or not. He was sure rates are now too low.
 Do you consider you gave the six cent fare a fair trial?" asked MT. Burke.
 We gave it q dangerously long trial" replied MT. Punderford.

WEST TERRIBLY
 HIT BY COAL LACK AND STORM

Chicago, Dec. 9-The most severe weather of the winter, with sub-zero tempera lures and further depletion of the diminished coal reserve gr.pped nearly all Of the country west of the Mississippi river, with a spread southward and eastward forecast for tomorrow and Thursday.
 Districts where the fuel reserve al- ready virtually was exhausted were chief sufferers today from the swoop of the low temp peratures. At Butte, Mont, with 30 degrees below zero, hundreds were reported in distress, suffering from hunger and cold.
 Zero temperatures spread over Col OradO, Wyoming. Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin. Minnesota. the Dakotas, Northern Iowa and parts of other western states.
 Severe interference with the move rlent of coal from the Colorado mines was caused by the cold, tenpera lures in that state ranging from Il to r de- grees below zero.
 In Kansas. Missouri, Arkansas and Oklah Oma where mining by volun- tears from surface deposits either was going on or in prospect it was report ed that such work probably would be impossible in the face of the adverse fF tStJi' Fi E-Iltt-l-OIlS. l tNliil-dS, "litIe it was hoped soon to see 100 carloads of fuel q day taken out. mines for several days have been worked under circumstances that heretofore has caused a cessation of labor.
 Should the cold snap be protract- ed in those states, reports said, much suffering might be expected.
 Driving snow accompanied the falling temperatures, in some places and in Montana a train stalled Sum day at Sheridan still was fast in a six foot drift. The passengers were taken into the town however.
 At Lander, Wyo., it was 31 degrees below zero; 26 below at Livingston Mont, with 25 below reported from. various places ill eastern Oregon Great Falls, Mont was believed the coldest place in the country> however, with a thermometer reading Of ga degrees below zero.
 Pastures in the western country were reported buried under ice and much suffering by range cattle ana other exposed animals was feared.

KING H'ILL C0NTIuUETOD
 FIELD WORK
But Bridgeport Man is Dis placed As Leader of
 Wood Boom

The support Of George w. Perkins and other influential Republicans is expected to be gajnad by the seIec- ti0n of Colonel William C. Proctor as leader of the movement to nominate General Leonard Wood for the presi- dency on the Republican ticket, a position until now held by John T. King, Republican National Commit teeman from Connecticut.
 That political friction has existed between MT. Perkins and Mir. King is well known, the latter having to some extent displaced MT. Perkins as Col Roosevelts political adviser just be- fore Col. RooseveIts death. In fact, the organization developed by Mr. King for the purpose of promoting Col. Roosevelt's candidacy for the nomination for President furnished the nucleus for the present Wood or gantZation.
 Friends of General Wood learned some time ago that it would be impOS- sibIe to get the support of number of influential Republicans, of whom MT. Perkins was said to be one if Mir. King continued as the head of the Wood forces.
 Letters received here from persons at the conference have stated that this was accomplished in the opinion of the Wood leaders. It was explained tthat there was no desire to d:spIace or supersede MT. King, who will con- tinue as perhaps the leading political field worker in the Wood movement. which has grown. it was said, beyond the lines upon which he originally es- abolished it.

 AGAINST MEN
 GETS ARRESTED
Charged With Being AL legged Frequenter of
 Gambling House.

When the cases of Barney Bgersky, Braggino Gargin. John Sheriden and Frank Brindisi, all of New Haven, cana up for a hearing in the City court this morning. a queer situation resulted, and Samuel Talinsky of New Haven and Christopher Testa of 629 HarraI avenue found themselves mixed up in the law.
 The four New Haven men have been held in Bridgeport since December 3, charged with stealing $436 from Ta- Ensky during the course of a crap game said to have been operated by Testa in his pool room at the corner of Catherine street and Harral ave- nue. TaIinsky and Testa appeared in the City court this morning and were promptly arrested, TaIinsky being charged with frequenting a gambling house and Testa with operating the establishment.
 Any robbery charges H5ich may have been entered against the New Haven quartet were drop ped this morning. and each man was fined s5 for frequenung a gambling house. Talinsky paid q similar fine on the same charge. Testa. alleged pro2rie- tor of the gambling establishment, will be arraigned in @ie city court Monday morning. He has been re- leased under $IOO bonds.
 The four who were held here for nearly a week are well known in New Haven, and are said 10 have police records in that city. They were re- gently arrested there in connection with safe-blovi12g, but were releas- ed because of lack of evidence. Every .lan admitted that he came to Bridgeport on Nov. 19 for the pur- pose Of gambling. and declared that the house. got rake off on the game.

ADMITS HE HAS LIST OF CLERKS WHO RECEIVED MONEY TURNED OVER TO HIM BUT WILL NOT GIVE IT
 FOR PUBLICATION

While over Si,OOO was re- ported by the Republican Town Committee as having been turned over to Town Chairman J. Alex Robinson which he is claimed to have expended for clerk hire, Mir. Robinson this mdrning abso- lutely refused 10 give the pub lie any accounting for the money.
 Yesterday The Times published ex- ceruDts from state laws governing corrupt practices at elections which showed that no one but a political agent or a treasurer should pay out any money and they should file a re- port. AIr Robinson neither has the rating of 9 tre2surers nor a political agent and he did not file q report beyond stating that he gave $50 to the campaign.
 4 Times representative today asked &IT. Robinson if he would give the public . list of names of the clerks who had received the $f,000 which was turned over to him.
 In no uncertain terms MT. Robin son replied that he could give the names as he had a list but stated very fOrCibly that he would not give them out for publication.
 While the Town Committee has re ported this sum as having been spent for clerks there Is no definite knowI- edge given, as under a sworn state ment, that this sum was expended for the purpose stated and taken in view Of the political laws governing cleo lions as published yesterday it is seen that an evasion at least has been ac- conn OFfG71p6

 SEEK DELAY

Paris, Dec. 9-Germany's deIega- ton at Versailles is considering what is looked upon as the last word Of the supreme council of the peace conference relative to the signing of the protocol of the treaty of peace.
 German demands for modification of the treaty clauses calling for the surrender of the Germans charged with violations of the laws of war fare, as well as those dealing with the repatriation of prisoners of war, are rejected. The status of America in relation to the treaty is held not to alter the effectiveness of the pact, and German objections along this line are described as "pretended rights" Germany is told it is vain to seek to delay the operation of the treaty and that the allies await the sigma ture of the protocol without further loss of time.

FOSCH GIVEN
 LONG TERM IN
 REFORMATORY

On the charge of stealing an au:o- mobile from Bennett Preston of Fairfield, William Fosch and David Cunningham of this city, were ar raigned before Judge Reed in the criminal superior court this morning. They pleaded guilty. As Fosch was found to have a police record. al- though he is still a minor, he was sen- fenced to the State Reformatory dur ing his minority. Cunningham, also a minor, had not been arrested before so the court suspended the execution of a six months Jail sentence and placed the boy on probation.
