Industrial concerns wilt be the first to be deprived of gas supply 'in case of a threatened shortage, if plans expressed by members -or the council mcei wiin the approval of the public service commission. Ashby Opposes Gas Increase. Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel, who was requested to outline the legal status of the franchise granted the teitlj zens Gas Company, asserted the position of the city administration, by opposing any increaso in the gas vote. Mr, Ashby said that In view of thu fact that gas company officials have de clared that they recently ended the most remunerative year in the history of the corporation, there can be no reason for an Increase from tho pres ent rate of 60 cents to 90 cents, as de sired by the company.

Although some councilman were of the opinion that a small Increase In the rate might afford sufficient funds to extend the storage capacity and thus inaure a greater supply of gas. Mr. Ashby 'stood out firmly against any Increase at all. The as situation will be considered more fully by a committee composed of Gustav G. Schmidt, president of the Council, and Councilman-Russell Wlllson and Jesse E.

Miller, which will confer with Mr. ABhby and the public service commission. The commission, about six months ago, held public hearings on gas rates and conservation, 'and is In possession of all data relating to the Citizens Gas Company. Mr. Wlllson, in suggesting such a conference last night, said that this may bring about a' soTu- tirn of, the bltuation.

Car Fare Discussion Begun. Indianapolis Street Railway Com pany was also brought Into the limey light by a resolution introduced by Councilman Louis W. Carneflx urging the public service commission to provide relief in order that tho company may give adequate service this winter. The, resolution, wnicn was referred to the committee on public works, pointed out that the street railway plant Is "wholly Inadequate Ut serve the present needs of the people or incii una polls in tracks, equipment and operating force," and states that with the approach of winter demands on the car system will be greatly Increased.

We have a flno chance to carry Oklahoma, and will certainly carry all the mountain and far-West ern states. Voters Make the Issues.

"Political committees are not making the Issues. Events and the voters and their love of America and our Institutions are making the issues. The Republicans, however, have shown full readiness to meet any Issue presented.

When, through their national chairman, fresh from a conference with their candidate, they pronounced the covenant only a 'second ary Issue after all, wo acquiesced.

Oct. A. A total of 10tJ Cornell students have been found guilty of fraud In their June examinations by the committee on student affairs. It was officially announced tonight. Humors nf wholesale "cribbing" by many students had bftn circulated recently and wero verified officially today by the public announcement of the disposition of the cases by the university authorities.

Of the 116 men "tried" by the committee, nine were exonerated and thu degree of one was withheld until after September of this year. Of the men found guilty, 101 were dismissed from the university for a year, but this judgment was mispended and the men have been permitted to return to the university this fall on parole. Three others wero suspended and one dismissed permanently. Another case Is to be passed upon by the authorities. This Is the first time In the history of Cornell that fraud has had to be dealt with on such a large scale.

OPERATORS TO CO-OPERATE Attitude Toward Regulation Changes Owners Expected to Relieve Shortage. INDIANA STATE' CAPITOL, Oct, The "price of Indiana coal, delivered to the consumer" In Indianapolis, will not exceed JS a ton, whtj'n coal prices are announced by the special fuel and food commission, according to Indications today. Whilo no announcement has been made concerning the price, It Is believed that the commission will follow closely the margins of profit and cost allowed jobbers and retailers by the Federal fuetailmlnistration. The Federal regu-latoryody permitted retailers to charge approximately $2,50 a ton for expenses in handling the coal and profit. The cuinmlsslon has announced that some Indiana coal, for emergency purposes, can be had at the mine for a ton.

Allowing Jobbers the necessary margins for handling the. coal and delivering It 'tphitan 'dettlersafid1 expenses of bringing the coal to the consumer, is believed that a ton will fairly approximate the cost of coal to 'the public when the commission has -com pleted its prlco fixing. Announcement Due This Week. Announcement of coal prices by' the commission Is expected tomorrow Wednesday. It Is understood that Jesse E.

Eschbach, chairman of the commission, will call the state regula tory body together and makevrecom- for thu various prices for Indiana coal. Mr, Eschbach and i corps' of assistants have been gather ing information concerning coal prices! for some time and a series of public hearings was held last week. Mr. Eschbach, Governor Goodrich and Auditor of ritato Klauss, the three members of the commission, were In conference concerning the prlco fixing work of the commission today. How-; ard Young and James W.

Noel, special I counsel for the commission, attended; the conference. It Is understood that the price of coal at the mine Is one of the problems which has been vexing the commission. Two courses are open to the commission in fixing the price of coal at tho mine. One uniform price may be adopt- cd for the entire statu or a number of different prices for mines operating under varying conditions may be decided upon. Uniform Price Held Unfair.

Many operators have Insisted that It would be unfair, to establish a uniform price at the mine on account of the different conditions prevailing at various mines throughout the state. Persons In close touch with the work of the commission have noticed a decided change In the attitude of the coal interests of the state. From tho open hostility which resulted In a suit In federal court, and which characterized the public hearings, the coal men have. changed to an attitude of co-operation, it Is said. It si known that several of the large coal-producing companies of the" state have offered coa supplies to the commission to meet emergency calls for fuel.

It Is said that the coal Interests will offer further co-operation with tho commission when coal prices are announced. Coal Men Oppose Regulation. With one exception, coal men Interviewed by Tho Star last night were decidedly opposed to any regulation of the marginal profit. Ansel Fa tout of the Kreeman-Fatout Coal Mining Company, stated that, while not familiar with 'the conditions governing the retail coal situation, he thought that (S a ton wajf a reasonable price. "In fact," he said, "I don't sec why rctallscoal men should charge more.

This should allow them a very fair profit, and I can not see why there should be any objections raised." Klmer Casady of the Casady Coal Company declared that the margin of K.QO It Is believed the commission has established, ts loo low. "It will force the email dealers out of business," he- declared. "It will be Im-' possible for us to operate on such a small amount. Expenses' are too high to permit it." The company handles, 'Mr. Casady said, about one car of coal each week.

A. B. Meyer, who stated that his company sold approximately 000 cars yearly, said that one -reason that the big companies are compelled to charge such high prices Is that they are unable to compete with the small dealers, who willing to charge less and handle the coal In a slip-shod manner.

No resistance was offered, despite the presence of police and carabineers, whose Instructions were not to oppose occupation of estates ln sufficiently cultivated. Similarly the peasants occupied the estate of Baron Camarata and Baron Klorlstella and many, others of the gentry. The prefect of Catania wan warmly applauded by the people for having Issued a decree legally permitting the occupation of estates and their division into small holdings among the peasants iwho fought In the war.
