New Regime Due to Women's Vote Kast St. Louis, 111.—The women voters of this city general ly given credit for the vote of 4,784 to 2,454 polled recently in favor of the commission form of government. In only one of the eight wards in the city, namely, the First, did the opponents ol' the new rule run ahead of its adherents. Business and professional men generally express themselves as well pleased at the result. They say that it shows the world that the race riots and other lawlessness charged against the city was opposed by the Citizens generally. Mayor F. W. Mollman, who was opposed to the new rule, said, after the election, that he would attempt to run the city as nearly as possible as it will be governed later under the new rule. He declined to say whether he would he a candidate for Mayor when the commission form goes into effect. There will be no change in the present form of government until April, 1919, when the next munici pal election will be held. Under the new rule, there will be five commis sioners, one of whom will serve as Mayor and head the Department of .Public Affairs, while the others will head the Department of Accounts and Finance, Public Health and I Safety, Streets and Public Improve | ments and Public Property. The j Mayor will receive $4,500 a year, i and the Pther Commissioners will be I paid $4,000 each. I COAT, SHORTAGE FELT KEENLY IN MISSISSIPPI Jackson, Miss. —All sections of Mississippi. are reporting a serious ! coal problem. In JSckson, where i the strain has not been felt so much i as in some other parts, it has been | necessary for dealers to refuse to sell more than $2 worth (one-fourth of a ton) to any private family, and in proportion to the business houses. A number of the latter for a low days found it necessary to stop run ning their furnaces and to use coal oil stoves. It was necessary to turn over most ol' the Jackson supply to the gas company and other public ! service corporations. The situation in Meridian is more j serious. Kven with the utmost economy, dealers have been unable to keep the supply more than two days ahead of the demand, and fu ture shipments cannot be depended j upon.
