officers Elected and Plans Made to
Keep Check on National LegisIa-
tion-Adopt Platform of Res
oIutions at Chicago.

Chicago, March 5.-The American
Farm Bureau Federation, representing
l,060,000 farmers in the United States,
and probably designed to be the strong
est league Of agricultural interests in
he world, began a two-days' session
lere. Twenty-eight states were repre-
'ented by SO delegates, many of them
women, each delegate standing for 20
700 individual farmers. The delegates
tat as a board of directors for the or
ganization as a whole. Several states
lot yet admitted to the federation sent
representatives to ask reco gnition.
First-day developments indicated the
selection Of Chicago or indianapolis as
rational headquarters. The matter
vas referred 70 the executive commit
zee, with Chicago apparently in the
cad because of its accessibility.
Resolutions introduced disclosed In
measure the activities to be fol-
owed. They included:
National legislation that will pre-
rent strikes and unnecessary suffer
ng.
An income tax based on :. cash re-
.eipts and disbursements.
A demand for an international con-
erence of farmers to meet in America
with representative from France,
England, Ireland, Canada, Germany
md other countries.
Investigation of the tariff in rela-
ion m farm nrOdI1cfS
Repeal of the reciprocity act with
Canada.
The federation met as a temporary
organization and almost the first or
Ter of business was the formation Of
permanent body. Election of Off
sers follows.
J. r. Howard, Clemens, Ia, was
chosen president.
S. l.. Strivings, CASTLE, N. Y, was
named vice president.
J. w. CIoverdale, Ames, Ia, tempo
rary secretary, was retained at the
pleasure of the president.
Both president and secretary are
TO receive salaries.
The executive committee reported
that in its opinion the president
should receive a minimum of $4,000
a year. Opinion seemed to favor that
sum. The matter finally was left
open. Experts will include an attor,
ney of national reputation, an econo-
mist and an editor to publish ma
tional agricultural journal.
One of the aims of the federatien
will be the establishment OF a. staff
of experts at Washington. All legis-
lation affecting producers Of food will
be closely watched.

COAL SHORTAGE
AGAIN SERIOUS
Results in Complete Estab-
Iishment of Preferential
Lists by Hines.
RAILROADS GIVEN PREFERENCE
Director General Recalls Old Lists
Used for Division of Coal During
War by the United States
Fuel Administration.

Washington, March S.-A coal short
age estimated in the neighborhood Of
100000 tons resulted in the com
plete establishment of preferential
lists by Director General of Railways
Walker d. Hines. Acting under the
powers conferred upon him by the
president under executive orders is
sued February % and March Direc
tor Hines ordered that all producers
and shippers give preference in the
shipment of bituminous coal as fol
oWs:
i. Railroads.
2. Army and navy, together with
,ther departments of the federal gov.
srnment.
3. State and county departments
md institutions.
4. Public utilities.
5. Retail dealers.
After this preferential list, manufac
urers engaged in turning out neces
;aries are to be allowed coal.
Because of the severe weather con
iitions diversion of coal to New Eng
and by water will be continued, it be
ng found impossible to transport suf
icient amounts to that section by rail
The preferential lists recalled into
)eing by Director Hines order are the
I'D lists used for diversion of coal
Turing the war by the United States
.uel administration.
Director Hines also appointed com
nittees, designated with powers of his
personal representatives to place the
diversion of coal according to the pref
.rential lists Immediately into effect
The directors of these committees will
)e:
G. n. Snyder, chairman eastern re
gional coal committee, with headquar
,ers at New York.
w. T. LaMoure, chairman, anG
James T. Storrow, vice chairman, New
England committee; III. A. Worcester
chairman, Ohio and Indiana commit
zee /; P. G. Findley, chairman, Detroit
,Gmmittee E. R. Bissell, chairman
Cleveland committee; Samuel Porcher
chairman Allegheny coal committee
with headquarters at Philadelphia; ;
e. Spengler, chairman, Pocahontas
,oal committee, with headquarters al
Roanoke, Va.
The sweeping action of the director
general was necessitated, 1t was ex
planned, by a number of urgent rep
reservations received from public utili
Hes, AAooIs, industries and domestic
consumers that they are unable to pur
chase coal to meet immediate and
pressing needs and that they will have
to cease operations unless they can Sc
cure adequate supplies promptly.
So alarming has the situation be-
come that Director Hines was com
PEELED to call upon President Wilson
for additional powers in dealing with
the serious shortage. These powers
were promptly granted by the presi
dent in an executive order simplifying
his order of February %, which con
tinued with Director Hines the powers
of coal distribution, even after the rail
roads had passed from government
control.

STEEPlECHASE BACK
ON A FIRM FOOTING
Cross Country Game Re-estab-
Iished on Eastern Tracks.
Certain That There viii Be Keen
Competition and Large Fields in
1920 at Belmont, Aqueduet
and Other Courses.

One of the most pleasing features
of the 1919 racing season is the re-
newed interest in steeplechaslng, the
most picturesque branch of the sport.
Though Il took some time to re-
establish It, the cross.country game Is
now on a firm footing again, and II
promises TO be immensely and de-
servedly popular next season.
II was u regrettablc feature of the
racing on the metropolitan tracks that
the steeplechase events were far be-
low the average of other years both In
the number and quality of the horses.
This was unavoidable, as many of the
owners Of jumpers were in the serv-
ice during the war and gave up racing
for the time. The result was that
when they returned IL was necessary
to establish the sport anew.
How well this has been accom-
plished was shown recently In Mary
land when some of the new fencers
were brought out. These were horses
developed for cross-country running
since last spring, and consequently
not yet at their best, but they showed
enough To make II certain that there
will be much better competition and
larger fields in 1920 ut Belmont park,
AQueduct and Saratoga.
More than 10 horses were trained
for the jumps last year. A number
Of these have not yet had public
trial, though they have schooled well.
But among those which have been
tried are Mrs. Payne Whtney's Roi

for the aged fencers and the lack Of
class In many Of the contests. There
should be better racing with younger
