VIII Add Gear Shift Cars

"A new added attraction which we
expect to be very popular" said Mr..
Heater rs the installation Of gear
shift cars. Hitherto we have used
only Ford cars-coupes. sedans. open
cars and four-door sedans-we are
using more and more OF the latter and
expect to eventually use four-dOor
sedans exclusively. But we feel that
many customers viii appreciate the
fact that they can now rent Max
we'll as we'll az q Ford.
Our customers come from two
general classes; most OF the people
who rent cars IN the daytime are
commercial travellers while most or
the beople who rent cars at night are
beople who are seeking pleasure or
recreation. Both have n great deal Of
praise for the system. Especially are
the. travellers our staunch friends. A
travelling man viii rent q car while
he is in Indianapolis, tell us just
when and how long he win be in Lou
isvllle, Cincinnati or some other city.
and we send on and engage car for
MIN at our OtneT bfHNCH places LOT
the time that he is scheduled TO be in
those particular cities. The man ap-
precates this courtesy.
NO matter how few miles a man
wishes to drive-he pays only for the
exact mileage he drove-even II he
kept the car a whole day and drove
only three miles, he paid for but
three miles.
Our place is open at all times, day
and night In serving the public in
a business like ours It is necessary
to be able to meet the call at all
times II one Is to conduct the bust
ness successfully. When a man wants
a car. he wants It then. no matter
what the clock may say; it is our
business to meet his need"

L. & N. EMBARGOES
 "DEAD FREIGHT" GOING TO LOUISVILLE YARDS

Owing to a badly scongested condi- ton in the Louisville yards, the gate way to Cincinnati and other points north of Louisville on the Louisville and Nashville has been embargoed, and no dead freight of any kind is being received for Louisville and points beyond, road officials stated Tuesday. The order went into effect Sunday morning. The embargo will be lifted as soon as the congestion at Louisville is relieved, depending on weather conditions, which have ham pered the northern lines connecting with the Louisville and Nashville at Louisville.
 The route to Chicago via Evans vile is still open.
 Congestion at Louisville was caused, was caused by the growing accumulation of freight cars there which the northern connecting lines have been unable to handle. They have been hampered by bad weather conditions, and the Louisville yards have become so crowded that 1t has been deemed the best policy to throw no more freight into them until they have been relieved. Only perishable freight and live stock are being re- ceived for Louisville destination and points north.
 Pig iron shipments are among those that are shut off. This embargo is the first one affecting this district since the car shortage of last sum mer,

 Practically all business Is for sec ond quarter. Spot iron is becoming difficult tG obtain on account of prior commitments to regular customers One concern Is shipping practically hot iron, yards being bare of stocks.
 Furnace interests have so far ex- pressed themselves as favoring con- seryatism In prices.

 The mayor of Dortmund also has been expelled because of his re- fusal to carry out French orders.
 PARIS, Feb. 2O.-One of the re- suits of the increased resistance of the Germans in the Ruhr and Rhineland has been the temporary cutting off of telephopnc and tele- graphic communication between these regions and France and Bel gium. However, the French are taking over the central stations at Dusseldorf and other points.
 All the stores in Duesseldorf are closing up again under the menace of having the windows smashed, and the hotels and restaurants are also closing under similar threats.

War to Death ons35n Weeui1 Planned By Contention
SITUA TION GROWING MORE TENSE N RUHR BY GERMAN ACTIVITY

DUSSELDORF, Feb. 2O.-(By Associated Press. The French, determined to rid the Rhineland and the Ruhr of German officials who are suspected of being trou- ble makers, have announced the expulsion of numerous officials from various parts of the occupied areas. The German people and their newspapers declare that French measures antagonistic to the populace would only serve to increase the resistance and bolster up the German cause.
 The more expulsions, they say, the greater their determination to stick it out.
 The latest official to be expelled is Burgomaster Rotten of Duessel- dorf, who was escorted by French soldiers into unoccupied Germany. He was busted because of his re- fusal to carry out general De- gouette's orders ana publish his proclamations. Herr Kotten's ex- pulsion has created greater furore than the arrest of Dr. Gruetzner Saturday. Both of these officials have established them selves at Elberfeld and will direct their official activities from that place.

COAL BARONS.
 RAISING FUEL COST, CHARGE
Unjust 0verCharge of $3.61 Per Ton Being Taken by Great Mine Monopoly,
 Union Leaders Tell
 Federal Fuel Body

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Pro- ducers of anthracite, through monopoly organization" of the in- dustry, are taking an unjust over charge of at least $3.61 a ton from consumers, officials of the miners in the Pennsylvania anthracite region charge in memorial made public today on it's presentation to the United States coal commis- sion.
 Declaring themselves "tired in the face of such figures of the op- erators' common cry that coal strikes are caused by the lack of ability to pay better wages" the memorial asks the commission to enforce uniform cost accounting systems, by which the facts could be determined beyond question, and to consider methods of making it possible for linen to engage in business of mining coal to produce fuel instead of to produce profits" ," Officials Sign Statement.
 Thomas Kennedy, c. J. Golden and w J. Brennan, presidents, respective ly, of three union districts in the an- thracite region, and Ellis Searles and John Moore, representing the interna- tional organization, acting as com mittee. signed the preliminary state ment.
 Overcharging in anthracite occurs in three separate divisions, the state- ment asserts, about $1.26 a ton being unnecessarily added as mining cost S1 in transportat tion and s1 35 in dis tribution. while it is added that in land owning there Is an overcharge which we will not attempt to esti- mate, but which may become the most disturbing factor in the indus try in the immediate future" The household consumer of anthracite, it also is charged, pays from s4 to st of the overeharging per ton on do- mestic sizes, because a part of the total anthracite production Is only fit for steam firing and bears less of the overcharge claimed.
 O o O
 Take Huge Sum.
 Considering the whole annual out put of anthracite, the committee says the overcharges alleged would result in taking 252700,000 year from the public in charges which its members do not believe are inevitable or in an.- way necessary" The total profit of six of the larger corporations pro ducing anthracite, the committee cons tinues. in 1920 was found to be $32,- 00o,000. as compared with sS,000, 900 ir 1912. If all anthracite producers profited similarly during the period it is added, 1920 earnings out of an thracite production would amount tc s51 .000. .000. as compared with 5000 900 in 1912.
 The commission Is asked to ascer- tain the facts as to production profits. as the estimates are asserted to be as close to the truth as permit ted by the very limited information made public. The miners officials have been unable to obtain all the data necessary to show the situation in it's entirety.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.-Con- sideration of the administration shipping bill in the Senate was completely blocked today by the filibuster inaugurated yesterday against it.
 Single-handed, but with the CO., operation of group of determine opponents of the ship bill, com posed largely of democrats, but in- cluding several republicans, Sena- tor Sheppard, democrat, Texas, for hour after hour during the day and into a night session held the floor in continuation of his speech, be- gun last night, on the League of Nations. He concluded his address shortly after 6 o'clock tonight. His associates in the filibuster re- mained at his side continually. ready to take up the task should he falter. On concluding he had spoken total of 10 hours and 45 minutes, and continuously for hours and 40 minutes.
 Proponents of the shipping legis- lation, powerless to stop the flow of words, conferred from time to time, but the conferences for the most part came to naught and they bided the time when those waging the filibuster might become ex- hausted or some opening develop for the use of strategy.
