ORDER TO REMOVE
 ALL RESTRICTIONS
Director General Hines Orders Resumption of Train Service and Lifts Light Ban-Many Miners Are at Work.

Washington, Dec. 12. = Regional directors of railroads were given au- thority tonight by Director General Hines to remove restrictions on the pse of light, heat and power derived from coal, as soon as the fuel situa- tion warrants. It was expected that the restrictions would be removed first in the eastern district, which in- cludes New York
 The regional directors also were au- thorized to restore train service re- moved or curtailed to meet the coal shortage due to the bituminous min- CTS strike as soon as the fuel supply in the various regions justified.
 Sending out of the instructions con- stituted the first step taken by the government in the expectation that miners would accept the governments strike settlement and return to work.
 Director General Hines said cond-i tions in the regions varied greatly, and coal still was being shipped from the east to the west; but that removal of restrictions might shortly be justi- fled.
 The railroad administration receiv- ed unofficial estimates during the day that from 65 to TO per cent of the miners had gone back to work. Pri- vate reports to operators said that in Indiana nearly all the men had re- turned, but elsewhere good deal of delay was being shown.
 Fuel Administrator Garfeld's resig- nation sent to President Wilson yes terday was discussed by White House officials, who expressed the belief that it would be accepted, though it was not indicated that the president as yet had acted. The work of the fuel administration it was said, probably would be transferred to the railroad administration. Dr. Garfield refused to discuss the matter.
 Operators representing the Central Pennsylvania district, on eof the larg- est in the United States, were the first to act today on the settlement proposal and while accepting it, criti- cised it's terms with the utmost vigor

POPULAR MINISTER IS
 RETURNED TO PRESCOTT

The people in Prescott generally were glad when the announcement was made of the return here as pastor of the Christian church of Rev. Theo. F. Hall, who has been located at Hope since leaving Prescott over a year ago. The local Christian congregation has been without pastor since Rev. Halls departure. He and his family will nave to Prescott in the near fu- ture, and Rev. Hall will take up his pastorate January i.
 The Christian congregation was unfortunate in losing it's church build ing few weeks ago by fire, the sec ond time in it's history, the last fire occurring the night before the revival meeting was to have begun. Through the invitation of the Methodist con- gregation, the Christian people began their meeting on schedule time, the preaching being done by the Rev. Hall. A very successful meeting was had and number of conversions were had and many new members were re- ceived, which was very encouraging to this progressive and wide-awake denomination, and although they are badly handicapped through lack of a building in which to worship, services will be held regularly. A fund has been raised by subscription and to- gether with the insurance of $2,50O on the burned building, the congregation will begin erecting brick edifce in the near future.

TRAIN SCHEDULE
 BACK TO NORMAL
Official Announcement is Made By Regional Director Bush at St. Louis-Will Stop Crowded Condition of Trains.

St. Louis, Dec 12.-Passenger train service, curtailed as a coal saving measure, will be returned to normal in the southwest region at midnight Sunday, B. F. Bush, regional director, announced tonight.
 This decision was reached following receipt of authorization from Director General Hines that normal service be established as soon as the coal situa- tion permitted.
 MT. Bush expressed the belief that the fuel situation in the district would be virtually normal Monday.
 Midnight Sunday is just one week from the time the curtailed train schedule, ordered because of the coal shortage, became effective.
 Railroad officials expressed much satisfaction over the fact that the change is to be made so soon, as con- gestion of traffic has become very serious on several of the lines.
 On account of the crowded condi- tion of the trains that remained after the restrictions were put into force, train crews have found it very diff cult in keeping the train movement up with the schedules, so much time being required to handle the passen- gers and their baggage.

ALABAMA RIVER
 ON A RAMPAGE
Montgomery Badly Crippled and Many Towns Are Inundated Millions of Dollars Worth of Property Devastated.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 12-The Alabama {river seemed to be the center tonight l |of the floods that for nearly week Ehave inundated the low-lying sections | of three states As the crest passed Montgomery, leaving the city without street car service, gas lights and with hardly enough power from crippled electric plants for street lights and water supply, reports from down [stream became more alarming. ] Public utility plants not already owned by the city were communicated pt Montgomery today under an ordi- nance adopted by the city commission which had been accepted by the com panies. This action was considered necessary to conserve fuel and power and drastic regulations carrying penalty of $1O0 fine for violations were adopted for conservation of elec- tric current.
 At Selma it was said the river had risen to such a stage as to threaten the lower sections of the town and fause fears that the gas and electric plants would be- shut down before morning. Eufaula, Alabama, on the chattahoochee, reported stage of 53 feet there and although it was said he river was rising slowly, it was Thought the danger to the Central of Georgia Railroad bridge had passed.
 Reports from Hattiesburg, Merid- ian, Enterprise and other sections of Mississippi showed the floods reced- Eng, leaving washed out railroad lines, heavy damage to property and live stock and total of seven dead in that btate.
 Three persons were drowned near Atlanta, five near Montgomery; one ht Prattville and one near Selma, bringing the total known death list in the three states to seventeen.
 Possibly the greatest financial loss was to the great power plants in Georgia and Alabama and the conse- Auent shutting down of scores of in- dustries dependent upon them. Rail- roads also lost heavily and trains were being detoured tonight in most of the
 Hood sections.
