Washington. Oct. 17.-Sending of a
brigade of American troops to Lith-

ator Mccormick. Illinois, declared in
the senate today. He gave no details
but said he had his information ION
reliable authority"
Dispatch of additional troops to
Europe for the Ultimate purpose of
policing Silesia during the plebiscite
proposed in the peace treaty formed
the text of another chapter of de-
bate on the treaty in the senate today.
The authority of the war depart
ment to take such a step was ques-
toned by Senator Brandegee, Repub-
lican, Connecticut, and the scarcity of
information availa bic to the senate on
such subjects was deplored by Chair
man Wadsworth of the military COM
mittee. The departments action was
defended by Senator Nelson, Republi-
can, Minnesota, and others.
Nobody knows under what author
ity these troops are being sent" said
Senator Brandegee. "It may be that
the war department has some idea
that the status of war technically still
exists aItho it does not"

WON'T FIX PRICE
Coal Dealers Want Open Con-
tracts With the City.
Insist on Charging According to
Delivery Market.
GOOD SUPPLY ON HAND
Stanfeld Has Enough To Run
to First of Year.
Commissioners Are To Pass
Upon Bids Submitted.

Refusal of coal companies in plac-
ing their bids to guarantee prices on
delivery has created a condition never
met with before in obtaining the city's
winter supply of coal. according to
Wilbr Stanfield, commissioner of
water and light.
The question of accepting or reject
ing any of the bids opened last Tues
day will be brought before the city
commission tomorrow morning. Not
only are the bids higher than usual.
but the dealers submit them subject
to fluctuations in price. In other
words, the city might enter into a con-
tract with a company for coal at SO a
ton. Upon delivery, the price might.
be $3.50. And the city's hands would
be tied SO far as buying from another
company which had not raised its
price.
Dealers Stand Firm.
Stanfield's patriotic desire to place
contracts with local companies is lead
ing him into no little grief. But the
dealers are apparently firm in their
Bids were submitted by five Topeka
and two Kansas City concerns. All
quoted the same prices.
Prices quoted, f. o. b. the mines,
were: Slack, $3.50; mill coal, $2.95,
and nut, $3.50. The water and light
health and some other departments
use nut coal. About 5000 tons of
slack is burned annually by the water
and light departments; 220 tons by
the health department and 100 by the
street department.
Present Supply Good.
In the event of the proposed miners
strike, the city departments will prob
ably not be affected over two months
Stanfield said he now has twenty-six
cars of coal on the tracks, which he
estimates will last until the first of
the year.
