ThH paragraph, and others, from the opinion, clearly indicate that the only method of procedure to he followed from thN time on for the i-l ion of the constitution in Indiana is that of another legislative ; t. submitting the question of calling a constitutional convention to the votM- of the state, probably at a special elect. on.

Atter a hrief period of hysteria yesterday, however, these leaders immediately set to work to train their ,'uris on Jov. r.oodrhh and other täte leaders, to compel a special session of the legislature. This immediately presented dozens of peculiar political angles. The governor already has made up his mind to call a special session in case th congress does not enact legislation. Kivinir Preset Wilson plenipotentiary powers over the coal situation. In case, however. that the congress acts, or in case the Indiana coal operators "come across" with a maximum price of about 2 a ton at the mine for "mine run'' Indiana coal, the governor is very much set airainst calling a special session for any other purpose.

MANY MINER REFUGEES TO UNKNOWN POINTS

ST. I.nriS. .Inly 10. The train leaving Flat Itiver Sunday for the north carried many refugees left over from Saturday's rush of the American mining element to oust foreigners. Th:- refugees were picked up all the way from Fiat River to Riverside, the junction point connecting the I,";td I'.elt line with the I nter-Mountain system. At Riverside the congestion was so great that extra cars were taken on. The Rev. Rasil Kal Ksnikoff. pastor of the lreek church at Pesloge, was tempo-arily earing for the people. No touxing could draw from him the destination of the people. "1 would like to tell you hut I dare not." he answered.

hillion djllars was wasted list year; in this country through inefficient'

use of coal In the opinion of Van II. Manning, director of the bureau of mines, who issued a statement Sunday night characterizing this waste as unpatriotic as well as unprofitable. "Last year." said he, "the United States mined COO, 000. 000 tons of coal, the greatest production ever witnessed in the world, and of this amount we wasted K.O.OOO.OOO tons, or 2." percent, through inefficient use. "Although the average efficiency of all kinds of steam power plants in tiie United States can be only a matter of guess work, it is quite probable that the average is somewhere in the neighborhood of five or si percent of the energy of the coal transformed into useful energy readv for distribution. If it were possible to elevate the average efficiency to something near the maximum now attainable in steam plants. 2o percent, about three times as much energy would be available for the productive industries. "The bureau of mines has for a numher of years been engaged In studying the problems and has completed a number of reports that tend to solve many of the difficulties met with in the burning of coal. Many of the conclusions can be put into operation at once with a Kreat saving of coal and without any expensive new equipment being installed."
