Indiana Cities Will Feel Probe of Coal Shortage

News-Tim Special Service: INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., My 5. A dozen Indiana cities are to feel at once the probe of Indiana's new public service commission, intent on solving, if possible, the coal shortage and high price conditions in Indiana. If power exists, under present laws in the state, the big utility companies of the state, tiie individual consumers, the factories and business generally will be freed from the coal octopus. And even then there termined . effort made coming special session ana legislature enact will be a deto have the of the Indisome sort of law that will give the commission power at least to compel coal operators and the railroads to furnish service to bring the supply that is known to exist, to the consumers or operate their properties under a receuership. which coming together supply. May Name Gov. Goodrich will mean the cf demand and Rc(vlvers. already believes the commission has power to go into any court in Indiana and ask that a receiver be appointed for any railroad that is discovered making special contracts for its own coal with the mine owners, or refusing or failing to furnish adequate cars for the coal trade, because higher freight rates exist on some other commodities. There already is a definite impression existing in the minds of some members of the new Indiana commission that coal operators and coal dealers are particularly responsible for the present prices of coal in Indianapolis and other large cities in Indiana. These dealers, it is believed, have stored large quantities of coal to force up the prices. At the same time these same dealers are charging the:, the public's rush to store coal against war prices is responsible for the shortage. Not more than '20 percent of the demand is being supplied generally throughout Indiana now, although Indiana has milkons of tons of coal in some 14 counties that is accessible to coal-carrying railroads and miners are ready and willing to mine it. The shortage exists in Indiana coal, as well as to foreign fuel, such a? the West Virginia tyr.es. The commission has called a special meeting of coal dealers and operators for Indianapolis next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock to begin its investigation of the situation. Immediately thereafter hearings are to he held by the body in probably a dozen of the larger cities of the state, such as South Bend. New Albany. Evansville. Terre Haute. Fort Wayne. Richmond, Brazil and Linton. BABY BOY, LOST ALL NIGHT, IS FOUND ALIVE Sen re J i Continued Through Night Finally Discovers Exhausted Child. News-Times Special Service: TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.. May .".

Kaiser's Power Will Be Curbed By the Reichstag

International News Service: LONDON. May 5. The power of the German kaiser is to be curbed. A dispatch from Amsterdam today said that the constitutional committee of the reichstag has decided to alter article XVII. of the German constitution relating to ordinances and decrees. In the future the kaiser's decrees will be issued in the name of the empire and will require the counter signature of the chancellor or his representative. The chancellor hereby acquires respor.sibility to the reichstag for his oiliciai acts. Hitherto he was responsible to the kaiser only. The constitutional revision was brought about by the progressives, national liberals and centrists. Some of the conservatives voted against it. Not oniy is the power of the kaiser restricted but a check is also put upon the authority of the chancellor. For some time there hasbeen agitation in favor of limiting the great power of the chancellor. PLYMOUTH. Mrs. L. J.

Doctors Stand Amazed at Power of Bon- Opto to Make Weak Eyes Strong According to Dr. Lewis

A lady who used it says : "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this pre scription for 1 days everything seems clear. I can read evin fine print without glasses." Another who used it says: "I was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, timi eyes which induced fierce head.ncb.es. I have worn glasses for several years both for distance and work and without them I eould not read my own name on an envelope or the tyiewriting on the machine before me. I can do both now and have discarded my long distance glasses altogether. I can count the fluttering leaves on the trees across the street novr, which for several years have looked like a dim green Mur to me. I cannot express my joy at what it has done for me." It is believed that thousands who rear glasses can now discard them in a
