UNBELIEVABLE! COAL PRICES MAY BE LOW (By Associated Press) NEW YORK. July 15 A reduction of the price of bituminous coal was predicted here today by members of the sub-committee of railroad officials and coal operators meeting here to complete details of a plan to relieve ihe coal shortage in New York City, New England and the northwest. By a scientific distribution of cars, the committee hopes to provide a steady stream of coal to the affected districts. Under this plan the committee members believe the coal speculators will find it impossible to exact the high priceB that the acute shortage has made possible. The car question alone is the stum bling block, it was said; the coal operators having assured the railroad representatives that enough coal can be mined to supply all orders. The shortage is estimated at 25,000 open top cars, only a fraction of which, it is said, are now being bult.

Students Starve in Central
Empire, Friends BoardSays; Is Feeding Many of Them Pitiful conditions are reported existing among the students in German and Austrian cities by the American Friends service committee. Whether to buy bread or books is the problem now lying before thousands of stu dents in the higher schools and universities of Germany and Austria. Many of them are forced to give up nn nopcs of study in order to secure bare living. In Vienna the Quaker mission is Tirniirtins a rfntlv breakfast, for 1.100 students, consisting of cocoa and bread. A charge of one-third of a cent is made for this. The work is being rapidly expanded. It is planned during the coming year to supervise adult and student relief in Germany besides having exclusive charge of the great child-feeding operations. The American Friends service committee will handle the students' relief through the Hoover fooddraft plan, by which money from interested contributors in America will he converted into food drafts in New York, and the rood drawn from the warehouses of the American Relief administration in Germany. As many workers are coming homo from the service in Europe, vacancies are made for which additional help Is desired. It is necessary, however, to pass a very rigid examination before acceptance. One of the requirements is a thorough knowledge of the German language. FEW BIDS FOR CITY COAL SUPPLIES ARE RECEIVED BY BOARD Bids for supplying coal for the Richmond Municipal Electric plant and for city buildings received by the board of public works, Thursday, were almost conspicuous by their absence. One bid received for coal for municipal buildings was rejected because it failed to offer coal in the quantity advertised for, 250 tons. This bid was submitted by the Richmond Coal com-! nany, Dy u. u. smim. One bid to supply the municipal electric plant with 25,000 tons, was taken under advisement. The bidder was the Smith-Osborne Coal Sales company, represented by O. O. Smith. The board objected to the restrictions imposed by the bidding company. The company agreed to give the board until Monday morning to accept or reject the bid. ! Don't Guarantee Rate The Smith-Osborne Coal Sales company offered to supply the municipal electric light plant with 25,000 tons of Kentucky run of mine, nut and slack for a period of one year at the rate of $6 per ton, f. o. b. mines, but the bid was qualified with the demand that if the city accepted it the city would enter into the same conditional agreement with the operators that the bidding company would be required to enter into, a provision against maintenance of the rate in the event of embargoes, strikes, wage increases to miners and other causes over which the contracting company would have no control. Mr. Smith called attention to the chaotic condition of the coal market. "This is principally due," he said, "to the action of the great industries going into the open market with preposterous offers. They are willing to pay almost any price for coal. The bigger the expense they run up, the less excess profits tax they have to pay," he remarked. The city in recent months has purchased coal for the municipal plant for $5.00, $5.25 and $5.75 per ton. Only occasional shipments on these orders are being received. Some of the coal purchased at $5.00 has not yet been received. The plant's consumption now averages 100 tons per day and it has a little over 30 days' supply in reserve. The bid for coal for city buildings offered only two carloads, considerably less than the amount advertised for. one carload of Pocahontas A at $11.00 per ton, f. o. b. mines, the other Kentucky lump, $10.00 per ton, f. o. b. mines. Army Planes Start Right To End at Nome, Alaska MINEOLA, July 15.

Each plane will carry an army pilot and a mechanician or observer. Sixteen stops have been provided, the dis tance between statons ranging from 200 to 350 miles. Moscow Manifesto Brought Into Chicago Reds' Trial (By Associated Pi-pss) CHICAGO, July 15. The Moscow Manifesto, containing the principles of the Russian Soviet, and issued over the signature of Nikolas Lenine and Leon Trotzby was introduced today as evidence in the trial of William Bross Lloyd, and 19 other members of the Communist labor party, on charges of conspiracy against the government.

GOAL IS SECURED BY FARM MANAGER H. M. Buettner, manager of the elevator at Fountain City, reports the arrival of five cars of Kentucky and Illinois coal, this week, at a cost of $11 per ton to the threshers. He says it is "good coal," the best obtainable, and the threshing ring men are hauling it away so that the cars may be sent back to the mines. Mr. Buettner says that orders have been placed by the federation farmers i for 12 cars of anthracite. The state j federation has engineered a deal j whereby a lot of anthracite was secured by the sending of represents-1 tive direct to the mines, the contracts , providing a delivery price of about j $15 per ton at Indiana points. Some j of this coal will come to Fountain j City. j Threshing in New Garden and ; Franklin will begin about Wednesday nf npTt week, at which time a lot of grain will be in condition machines. for the Peasant Artist Darde Felt Own Way to Fame; (By Associated Press) PARIS, July 15. Paul Adolphe Darde, awarded the envied Paris Salon national prize for his marbles "Faun" and "Eternal Suffering," is greeted by critics as a geniuus in the real sense of that abused word. Darde, in the simple telling of his career, stands out among artists. He was a shepherd in the region of Lodeve. Son of a small farmer, he watched a flock or worked the ground j until he was 20. He fought in the j war and today, famous, he is only 31. The big. powerful, blond-bearded peasant, began drawing, he says, when j he was eight but felt his own way I until he took a drawing course in the ' Lodeve high school and later studied j at Montpelier. Through .the counsel j of his two art teachers he came to j Paris. He spent five weeks here in the government art institute and ( worked three days in Rodin's studio, j With that slim grip of the classic 1 school and the modernity of Rodin, Darde began the working in marble ; and metal that made experience his teacher. The "Faun" Is a massive, vigorous conception, sneering, cynical and sensual. "Eternal Suffering" represents a woman's head, snake-entwined, with face up turned, in anguish and almost distored as if with physical pain. Darde works directly in marble without a wax .or plaster model. Richmond Rotarians To Entertain Muncie Club Thirty members of the Muncie Rotary club will be entertained by the Richmond Rotary club next Thursday. Dudley Elmer, as chairman of the committee appointed for entertainment, says the entire "doings" will be held at the Richmond Country club.
