MAXIMUM COAL PRICE SET BY ADMINISTRATION.

Washington, Oct. 30.—The order re-establishing the old maximum coal price of the fuel administration tonight at a conference of Dr. H. A. Garfield and a railroad administration official. It was immediately taken to the white house for president Wilson’s signature, but the president had gone to sleep after his arduous day and it was deemed inadvisable to wake him. Accordingly the order will not become effective until tomorrow. j Dr. Garfield said that the plans contemplated that all questions of allocating coal would be left to Director General Hines for settlement. The former, as fuel administrator, will give his authority to Mr. Hines’ orders, but will not remain in Washington to undertake supervision of the work. Dr. Garfield said that the point had not yet been reached necessitating curtailment of industries, but if it is necessary eventually the cur-' tailment list prepared by the fuel administration for the war industries board during the war probably would be used. The war industries on that list, of course, he explained would not get the treatment they did during the war, and might be cut off altogether. Price control over anthracite, the fuel administrator emphasized, would not be exercised at this time. He made the statement regarding anthracite to correct a previous assertion that the control would cover prices of both soft and hard coal.

CAR REFUSES TO RUN; THIEVES FAIL IN ATTEMPT.

W. C. Babcock came mighty near losing his Hudson automobile some tfine- ’’ and but for . .the fact that, the car refused .feo, ran the thieves would have been well on their way by this tiriie. Mr. Babcock placed -the car in the garage at his home on College avenue about 7 o’clock Wednesday evening, and when he went to get. it the next morning he found that it hdd disappeared. A few momenta later he found it standing in the road at the intersection of College and Milroy avenues, where the thieves had abandoned it. - :■ Mr. Babcock was at first inclined ! to believe that it was simply a prank ' of boys, but later came to the conI elusion that the heavy rain which ' fell until 3 o'clock in the morning i would not have been the kind of a 1 night selected by joy riders for such I a prank. i Mr. Babcock had been driving the car Wednesday afternoon and found the battery and spark plugs in bad condition and it was with difficulty that he was able to drive the car to his home. The thieves had pushed the car from the garage to the road, and it was evident that their attempt at theft was made early in the evening as the tracks were almost obliterated by the rain. Mr. Babcock considers that it was mighty good fortune on his part that the car was not in running order. The same night Robert Reeve, the mail carrier, had two automobile tires stolen from his garage, lending additional evidence that thieves' were plying their trade that night
