PEOPLE SHOULD FORM CLUBS TO CUT COALP RICES Professor Stockton of Indiana University Has Solution for Problem.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., June 20 The people of the state should see what

II uiey can ao toward neipmg tnemi selves In the present -movement to re

duce coal prices In Indiana. Prof. F. T. Stockton, of Indiana University, declared in a statement made public today. He said: "Now that the Public Service Commission of the State of Indiana has declared there is no excuse at present for the high prices of coal, it is time for the people of the state to see if they cannot do something on their own accord to secure lower prices. At the same time the commission should do everything in Its power to force the hand of the mine operators and local dealers. "One thing Indiana people might do is to form coal buying clubs to pur- , chase directly from the mines. Of course rtxis can be done only by a comparatively large number of persons acting together so that a big order can be placed. Employers Can Help "Large employers of labor can perform a service for their employees by ordering in car-load lots for distribution at cost. Perhaps this would be a more feasible plan than the first because it is difficult to get a group of scattered consumers to act together. The employer, however, would be in a position where he would have the

facts concerning coal costs, transpor

tation, etc., and he could aid his help without compelling the latter to form en organization. ;Here in Blomlngton one company has provided a store to sell to employees at cost. The same plan could be extended to the retailing of coal at a saving to all concerned. "Except during an emergency, Indiana cities do not seem to possess the constitutional authority to buy coal or foodstuffs for re-sale to citizens. Perhaps the courts might hold that the present situation constitutes cn emergency. There is grave doubt r.bout this, however. "For myself, I believe it is no more than fair that our cities should posess the power to buy and sell necessities when the private distribution thereof leads to excessive prices and rerious public - inconvenience. Call this socialism, If you wish. There are some people who try to frighten timid souls anything socialistic which conMitutes an extension of government interests in the welfare of the majority." PRIESTS WOULD RETURN.

MEXICO, June 20. The government has received petitions from about 80 Mexican priests now in the United States who fled from Mexico during the revolutionary period, asking permission to return. The antecedents and past actions of each will be carefully considered before permission is given or denied. Among the petitioners were several archbishops and other high dignitaries.

The packs were laid on the ground, and the mules shook themselves, while the jackals that haunt the Khyber came closer, to sit in a ring and watch. King dug a flashlight out of one of the packs, gave it to Ismail to hold, sat on the other pack and began to write on a memorandum pad. It was a minute before he could persuade Ismail that the flashlight was harmless, and another minute before he could get him to hold it still. Then, however, he wrote swiftly. . . "In the Khybef, a mile below you. "Dear Old Man I would like to run in and see you, but circumstances don't permit. Several people sent you their regards by me. Herewith go two mules and their packs. Make any use of the mules you like, but store

the loads where I can draw on them in case of need. I would like to have a talk with you before taking the rather desperate step I intend, but I don't want to be seen entering or leaving All Masjid. Can you come down the Pass without making your intentions known? It is growing misty now. It ought to be easy. My men will tell you where I am and show you the way. Why not destroy this letter? ATHELSTAN." He folded the note and stuck a postage stamp on it in lieu of seal. Then he examined the packs with the aid of the flash-light, sorted them and ordered two of the mules reloaded. "You three!" he ordered then. "Take the loaded mules into Ali Masjid Fort. Take this chit, you. Give it to the sahib in command there." They stood and gaped at him, wideeyed then came closer to see his eyes and to catch any whisper that Ismail might have for them. But Ismail and Darya Khan seemed full of having been chosen to stay behind; they offered no suggestions certainly no encouragement to mutiny. "To hear is to obey!" said the nearest man, seizing the note, for at all events that was the easiest task. His action decided the other two. They took the mules' leading-reins and followed him. Before they had gone ten paces they were all swallowed in the mist that had begun to flow southeastward; it closed on them like a blanket and in a minute more the clink of shod hooves had ceased. The night grew still, except for the whimpering of jackals. Ismail came nearer and squatted at King's feet "Why, sahib?" he asked; and Darya Khan came closer, too. King had tied the reins of the two horses and the one remaining mule together in a knot and was sitting on the pack. "Why not?" he countered. Solemn, almost motionless, squatted

on their hunkers, they looked like two

great vultures watching an animal die. "What have they done that they

should be sent away?" asked Ismail. "What have they done that they

should be sent to the fort, where the arrflcer will put them in irons?"

"Why should he nut them in irons?" asked King. "Why not? Here in the Khyber there is often a price on men's heads." "And not in Delhi?" "In Delhi these were not known. There were no witnesses in Delhi. In the fort at Ali Masjid there will be a dozen ready to swear' to them!" "Then, why did they obey?" asked King. "What is that on the sahib's wrist?" "You mean ?" "Sahib If she said, 'Walk into the fire or over that cliff!' there be many in these 'Hills who would obey without murmuring!" "I have nothing against them," said King. "As long as they are my men I will not send them into a trap." "Good!" nodded Ismail and Darya Khan together, but they did not seem really satisfied. "It is good," said Ismail, "that she should have nothing against thee, sahib. Those three men are in thy keeping!" "And I in thine?" King asked, but neither man answered him. They sat in silence for five minutes. Then suddenly, the two Hillmen shuddered, although King did not bat an eyelid. Din burst into being. A volley ripped out of the night and thundered down the Pass. "How-utt! Hukkums dar?" came the Insolent challenge half a minute after it the proof positive that Ali Masjid's guards neither slept nor were afraid. A weird wail answered the challenge, and there began a tossing to and fro of words, that was prelude to a shouted invitation. "Ud-vance- f rrrennen-orsss-werrul ! " English can be as weirdly distorted as wire, or any other supple medium, and native .levies advance distortion to the point of art; but the language sound no less good in the chilly gloom of a Khyber night.

CHICAGO, June 20.

All of her income of $20,000 a year had been used to maintain her titled husband's establishment, she continued. "He thought he would get hold of

our fortune when he married me," she

said, "and he immediately tried to do so, but failed. I had an income of $20,000 a year. Ten thousand I gave him to use and at different times I gave him parts of the other half with which to pay household bills, but he never paid them, and the bills came back to me." '
