NO RELAXATION IN COAL RULES Officials Warn of Further Need For the Fuel Regulations Washington, Dec. 11—Expressions by Government officials of satisfac tion and relief at the settlement of the Nation-wide strike of bituminous coal miners were couple*, to-day with warnings to the American peo ple that early relaxation of the dras tice restrictions on the consumption coal must not be expected. Fuel Administrator Garfield im mediately on receipt of word that the miners in Indianapolis had agreed to accept President Wilson's proposal, declared that immediate removal of regulations on soft coal consumption was not to be consid ered. Director General Hines in a for mal statement asserted that disloca tion created by the strike could not be remedied instantly. The public, Mr. Hines said, will be expected to continue conserving fuel until nor mal conditions are restored but just as soon as practicable restrictions will be rescinded or modified. "As a preliminary to bringing back normal conditions," said the Direc tor General, "coal mined will be al lowed to run as billed except the ( Mtther! Watch V. 11 \ Child's Tenpu!

ANOTHER NOTE SENT TO MEXICO It Deals With Interference of American Oil Properties Washington, Dec. 11.—Another memorandum on the Mexican situ ation from President Wilson is on its way to Carranzo to-day. It deals with the interference of the Mexi can government with the operation of American owned oil properties In Mexico and was prepared by Chair man Payne, of the Shipping Board, after representatives of the Asso- I ciated Mexican Oil Producers, headed by F. R. Kellogg, of New | York, had presented the situation to | him. i At the same time Mr. Payne pre pared and sent to Secretary Lansing a letter urging the importance of protecting the American supply of Mexican fuel oil upon which the Shipping Board is almost solely de pendent for fuel for its 500 oil burn ing passenger and freight steamers. It developed to-day that the State Department has been continuing to protest to the Mexican government against decrees forbidding the drill ing of new wells on privately owned property in the Tampico fields and other decrees affecting the oil in terests of American and other foreigners in Mexico. Makes Third Note Three notes have been dispatched within six months, but it was said that President Carranza had not re plied to any of them. The first went forward last June 18, the second on October 1, and the third on November 18. In the first two [ the State Department specifically protested against the action of the Mexican government in preventing the drilling of new wells on prop erty owned by Americans and in sisted upon more adequate protec tion of Americans working in the Tampico oil region. The note of November 18 was.dis putched after receipt of official in- j formation that Carranza soldiers had seized another American owned well on November 12. It is learned that Mexican military forces at various times during the | past month have stopped drilling j operations of American companies j on the pretext that "permits" to drill had not been obtained. In, order to obtain the "permits" foreign oil companies must agree in advance that such wells as may be drilled would become the property of the Mexican government. The United States has repeatedly protested against these decrees in particular. Certain American owned com panies desiring to increase oil pro duction to meet the present fuel oil shortage in the United States, it was said, have drilled wells without ad mitting the loss of their property by such acts. The State Department, both in formal notes and in in formal communications, was said to have informed the Mexican govern ment that this action by the Ameri i can companies was not in defiance of the Mexican authorities, but only the exercising of rights acquired un der Mexican law. British Promise to Replace Excess Coal on the Imperator Washington, Dec. 11.—Decision of the railroad administration to permit sailing of the Cunard liner Imperator from New York to-day resulted from an offer of British ministry of marine and the ship's agents to replace the coal loaded on the vessel in excess of existing bunkering restrictions. In accept ing the offer, the railroad admini stration reserved the right to insti tute criminal or civil action in the case. Maryland Collides With Carmania Boston, Dec. 11. —Messages inter cepted at the naval radio station here last night told of a collision between the British steamers Carmania and Maryland about 500 miles east of Halifax. The Carmania was slightly | damaged. The messages did not in dicate the extent of the damage to the Maryland. The position in which the collision occurred was given as latitude 45.40 north, longitude 53.17 west. The Carmania is bound from Liv erpool for New York and the Mary land is believed to be bound from Baltimore for London. One of the messages from the Carmania, declin ing a proffer of aid from another steamer, said that assistance was not needed, as the damage sustained did not affect the ship's safety. Another message said that the Carmania was "proceeding all right." DENVER BOYS' NEW SPORT A number of large auto tires roll ing blithely down Cheesman Park hill at a bigh rate of speed caused a traf fic blockade at Tenth and Franklin streets several afternoons last week. Passing pedestrians and autoists stood in open-mouthed amazement, looking at what appeared to be auto tires endowed with life, some rolling with perfect balance, others reeling drunkenly from side to side and at the end of the hill landing in a heap. Upon closer observation the tires wore fount to be filled with small boys curled snugly in the inside of the rim and hugely enjoying the consterna tion of the passerby. Tire racing is the latest fad In the sport realm of the small boy, and the lad whose father owns an automo bile and a number of old tires, is the most popular member of his group. The tires are hauled to the top of the hill, and, in order to make the race successful, twice the number of boys as there are tires are required. When the contestants are properly curled in the tires, with feet and hands firm ly braced, the boys behind the tires' called the starters, give them a push and away they go. spinning down the two blocks of unbroken hill, ending at Tenth and Franklin. The object i to keep a perfect bal ance and arrive at the finish without a spill, but this is exceedingly diffi cult, due to the dizzy feeling caused by the spinning. Often there is a gieat crash and all of the tires and occupants fall in a heap upon each other. After untangling themselves and gaining their equilibrium the boys crawl back into the tires and resume the race. After several after nccns of experience the dizziness is overcome and the tires proceed down the hill in fairly orderly fashion. This promises to be as popular as baseball and unless fond parents find seme other and more profitable means of disposing of old tires the hills and parks of Denver soon probably will be populated with seemingly living robber tubes.—Denver Rocky Moun tain News.
