st. Paul, Sept. 16-Attempts to
enjoin the upper lake coal priority
order will be made in the federal
courts Friday, according to advices
received today by Governor ]. A. o.
Preus.
Donald ID. Conn, Minnesota coal
representative in Washington, tele-
graphed Governor Preus this infor-
nation but did not specify by whom
the injunction is being sought. He
stated, however, that the injunction
will be fought Ito the limit"
Members of the northwestern
states central committee would not
comment on who probably was insti-
eating the court order.
The influx of bituminous coal to
Lake Erie points is so great that the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, one of
the principal carriers of coal in the
soft coal regions, placed temper
airy embargo on all shipments. to
continue until all docks at eastern
points are able to load the fuel, G.
p. White, federal distributor for the
northwest, was advised today.
The coal is coming in such large
quantities that dock facilities can
not cope with the situation and the
embargo was made necessary 10
clear the congestion, MIR White said.
Mr.. White again emphasized the
need of consumers of coal in the
northwest, to oegin the purchase of
their supplies of bituminous coal If
the coal is to begin to move in this
district. The lack of buying by the
consumers stock sompany is one of
the reasons why coal is not moving
readily in the upper lake docks, Mr..
White explained.

1T IS MY DUTY"
SAYS MINISTER
SHERIFF-PASTOR SPRINGS THE
TRAP THAT ENDS LIFE OF
IOWA MURDERER.

Fort Madison, Ia, Sept 16-Sher-
iff Winifred E. Robb, minister of
the gospel, who pulled the trap
which sent Eugene Weeks, Des
Moines murderer to his death on the
scaffold at the state prison here yes
terday performed his duty without
a moment of hesitation. Although
the big sheriff was visibly affected
after the hanging was over, he stood
calmly on the gallOws while Weeks
knelt in prayer.
1T is my duty" Rob declared af-
ter the hanging. Il could not es-
cape without violating the oath /
took when | accepted my office. 1t
was life facing the guns in France.

Weeks was innocent, | would have

Many people who objected to my act
ing as eXecutioner requested me TO
have deputy do it, l would have
been just as responsible had il been
done that way"
Although there was no evidence in
Robb's physical demeanor to indi-
cate that the hanging of Weeks had
greatly affected him, friends Of the
preacher-sheriff said it was plain to
see that emotionaily ne was touched

Weeks died pleading for clemency
for Cross and protesting his own in
nocence. Cross, however, in a state

this morning declared that Weeks
was guilty.
A heavy rain yesterday morning
caused the rope to stretch, allowing
his feet to drag on the ground after
he had been dropped through the

MULE IS LOSING
PLACE IN MINES
ELECTRIFICATION OF MINES Is
LEAVING DONKEY WITH
NOTHING TO DO.

West Frankfurt, ILL.,, Sept. 16- -
The mine mule, whose history dates
back to the days of early coal mining
in southern Illinois, gradually is dis
appearing just as is Old Dobbin, the
once familiar dray horse. With the
gradual disappearance of the faith
full hard tail. old miners are pre-
serving for posterity tales of pathos
and sympathy for the once essential
draft animal of the mining industr".
Stories picturipg the mule going
blind by constantly being kept under
ground and picturing the colt born
far belo wthe surface are discounted
by the more truth loving miners as
fairy tales and by the mine opera
tors as stories whose design is to
lend a touch of romance to the early
history of coal mining.
The modern mine finds use for
only one mule that for the distribu-
ton of powder after the men were
hoisted to the surface. This mule is
lowered to the bottom of the shaft,
but brought back up after complet-
ing its work and is cared for in a
stable above ground. Electrical
power is used almost exclusively for
hauling coal cars under ground.
IN mines where the mule still Is
used extensively the animals are
brought to the surface frequently In
rare instances it is said, are the
mules kept in the pits for any length
of time When work in the mines
is suspended, it sa general custom
to bring the animals to the surface
where they are kept in pastures un-
til the mines resume operation.
The only animals known to breed
in the shafts and pits are rats and
mice These little rodents, however
are often made pets of the miners
for the reason that their presence in.
dicates absence of gas pockets. AS
long as the mouse or rat slips about
certain place, the miner is certain
to ba free of the gas danger

PLAN CHANGE IN
HANDLING FAIR
PROPOSED THAT IN FUTURE AD~
MISSION TO STATE FAIR
SHALL BE FREE.

Huron, Sept 16-AdmisSion to
free in future years if the plan be-
ing considered by the fair board is
carried out, according to state
ment made public here today by
John White, secretary of the board.
The board plans to throw-epen the
gates of the fair grounds as an in
ducement to larger attendance Al
though the attendance in past years
and this year has been very satisfaC-
tory, it is believed that a larger mum
Der Of persons would be induced to
visit the fair under the new plan.
Under the provisions of the state
law it will be necessary for the leg
islaturc TO amend the section relat-
ing to the admission charge, and It
is planned to foster a bill to that
end, which will be introduced at the
coming session of the legislature, ac-
cording to the fair board.
Average receipts from admission
fees have .approXimated $4,000 a
year. 1t is the contention of the fair
board that the state fair is an edu-
cational enterprise and that all peo-
pie of the state should have free ac-
cess to it. The board points out that
people of the state have always SUP
ported the fair directly or indirectly.
No change would be made in the
charge for entrance to the grand
stands, but it is believed that with a
larger attendance receipts from this
source would be greater.
The contemplated bill would prob
ably include an appropriation in the
neighborhood of $4,000, which
would be added TO the premiums of
fered.
