Companies of State Ordered
to Offer for Sale Each Week
Sufficient Amount of Coal
for Domestic Consumption.
APP0RTI0N QUANTITY

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct. 23.-All
coal companies in Indiana were or
dered today by the state coal and fuel
commission to offer for sale each
week within the state sufficient coal
to meet domestic consumption.
Orders also were being prepared by
the commission which 1t was under
stood would increase the retailers
margin in Richmond and almost a
score of other cities from 1925 to
$3.50 ton on Indiana coal, and $2.75
on shipments from other states.
Tie commission set 100000 tons
of coal monthly as the quantity
needed for the state and apportioned
this supply among the companies,
specifying how much each should pro-
vide weekly.
- The order, effective Immediately
remains in force until further action
by the commission.
Nothing in the order affects the
prices previously fixed by the COM
mission, and accordingly the sales or
dered by the commission are expected
to be made at the fixed price. The
fixed prices. it was said, will yield
every operator ''at least fairer prof
it,"
Chairman Eschbach in a formal
statement, declared that the issuance
OF the order was made necessary be-
cause many operators are withholding
their coal from the Indiana markets.
Operators failing to comply with the
new order, he added, would be fought
by the state with all its powers.
There is no reason the statement
said, why large part of one class
of our citizens may wilfully disobey
the law, while others must yield strict
obedience thereto"
weekly shipments and offers for
SALE" said the order, signed by Chair
man Eschbach, Governor Goodrich and
State Auditor Clauss, shall be dis
tributed as nearly equally over the
several operating days each week as
conditions will reasonably permit"
Must Provide Enough
Nothing in this order shall be taken
or construed as prohibiting or inter-
fering with the sale or trans sportation
of coal in interstate commerce, but it
shall be construed only as requiring
the mining of a sufficient quantity
for domestic consumption, except for
manufacturing purposes, over and
above normal and the bona fide de-
mands of interstate commerce"
Further the order directs that each
coal company in the state must submit
weekly reports to the commission,
showing the shipment made to Indiana
communities and also to local dealers
for sale but not taken from the COM

Judge William A. Bond in circuit
court, Saturday, sustained the motion
entered several days ago by attorneys
for the Doddridge-Beck company, to
set aside the receivership for that con-
Germ and at the same time he reap
pointed the American Trust and Saw
ings bank of Richmond, receiver for
the company.
r. X. Shiveley, one of the attorneys

notice.

peal
Court Sustains Argument.
When attorneys for the Doddridge-
Beck company petitioned several days
ago to have the receivership set aside,
they contended that the appointment
of the receiver was invalid for the rea-
son that notice of the receivership
was not submitted to the company un
til the day after the receiver had been
appointed. The court sustained this
argument in the decision he gave Sat
urday.
Charles w. Jordan, president of the
American Trust and Savings bank,
stated Saturday that he expected to
submit his report on the receivership
of the Doddridge-Beck company, Mon
day.
The company management contends
that the concern is solvent and has
been at all times under the present
management, the past two and half
years.

TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES

BUT RECEIVE NO PAY

Report that the state attorney gen
would not be allowed to draw pay for
serving as election inspectors in the
precincts in which they reside, not,
withstanding the fact that by law they
are required serve as inspectors has
caused a radical change of sentiment
on the part of the trustees of some
townships in Wayne county
When the first list of election Off.
cials was submitted by the Republican
county committee, few, if any, town
ship trustees were named as inspect
ors in the precincts in which they re-
side At that time the committee
was not familiar with the fact that
the law required trustees to perform
such election duties.
Demand Jobs
Several trustees of townships in
Wayne county promptly called atten-
ton to the fact that they had not
been named inspectors in their pre-
cincts and threatened to institute
legal action unless the Republican
committee certified them as inspect
ors. This was promptly done by the
committee.
Following the publication yesterday
of the report that township trustees
could not receive the extra pay of $12
for serving as election inspectors GER
tain township trustees, it is stated,
reached the decision that they no
longer desired to serve as inspectors
in their precincts. One trustee tele.
phoned to w. H. Brooks, county audi
tor, that he intended to resign as in
spector of his precinct.
This trustee was informed by Mr..
Brooks that he could not resign as
the law required all trustees to serve
as inspectors.

AS Friends, we must deplore the vio-

were still smoking, and people sleep
ing out in the fields in terror of a re
vival of the attack. The blood of one
victim was still red on the white
walls of burned house. The funerals
of the police and those slain in re-
vense passed before our eyes and the
uncoffined remains of an unidentified
person burned to death in a cottage
were still lying in a calf's shed at the
