To Look After Needs of Railroads and Large Utilities, Expecting States To Control Local Distribution. Washington, July 31 The government machinery for emergency distribution of coal swung into gear today as the central committee with Henry B. Spencer federal fuel distributor, as administrative head, began work to supply coal to the industries and localities where it is most needed, and to maintain fair price levels at the mines. An adequate staff was organized to handle the reports and orders-expected to flow through Washington. Accepting only the responsibility of keeping the railroads and interstate public utilities supplied with coal and directing a proper distribution as between states, at the same time through car allocations holding mine prices at a fair level, the federal agency looked to the various states to control distribution and prices for consumers locally.

Organizers of the international union were credited with having attempted to persuade the men to refrain from working.

Topeka, July 31. They're coming down the home stretch today-some Kansas candidates. They range from candidates for the nomination of governor to township constable. Tomorrow the verdict will be cast at the ballot boxes. On the state, congressional and judicial tickets are 121 names.

State-wide interest attaches to the state ticket, with Republicana recognizing a close race among five of the seven candidates' for the gubernatorial nomination; the Hopkins-Porter supreme court candidates; the six-sided bout for attorney general; the septette aspiring to the office of superintendent of insurance; and the three-cornered flight for state superintendent of public instruction with Miss Elizabeth Lorraine Wooster, the only woman on the state tickets who is conceded a chance for nomination, running for a third term of office. Claims and Counter Claims. Today claims and counter claims are flying fast here at the political hub. Publication of eleventh hour lists of supporters and endorsements has created a sensational flare back in the Republican ranks. Misunderstanding as to the choice of some of those whose names have been published is alleged by candidates.

In last-day as customary, practically every candidate announces his confidence he will be nominated. The Democrats have a triangular race for the nomination of governor; and four Democrats want to be nominated for state superintendent of public instruction. In all but the first and eighth districts, the Democrats have a contest for the nomination of congressman. A record breaking "literary finish" has characterized the campaign. Thousands upon thousands of circular letters and other forms of campaign literature have been mailed at the Topeka postoffice.

This flood is somewhat subsiding today but the postoffice clerks still are working overtime. The clerks are prone to paraphrase the campaign slogan of Mrs. W. D. Mowry, woman candidate for governor "More office work and less oratory" declaring it is a campaign of "more circulars and less, oratory." Accuses Insurance Firms Authentic reports indicate that the contest for the nomination for state superintendent of insurance is responsible for a large portion of this volume of "mail order" politics.

Emmett George, candidate for this office, charges that large insurance companies are rivals. These companies are conducting a dual contest within the six-sided bout for the nomination. He charges that already the expense of circulars and mailing in behalf of either one of the two candidates he named, as equivalent to more than a year's salary paid by the office sought and the term of office is but two years. Jesse Miiey of Girard, running on the Republican ticket for state superintendent of public instruction, is president of the Kansas State Teachers' association. For years Miss Wooster has been unfriendly to the state association.

She has started rival associations and started rivals to the association's state magazine. Headed by Frank Pinet, secretary of the association, a large number of Kansas school men and women have put on a spectacular campaign for Miley. Fred A. Seaman of Topeka, third contestant in this race, has openly denied the allegation that he is in the race in the interest of Miss Wooster, Denies Knapp Endorsement. endorsement by J.

M. Kess-ler, secretary of the Kansas state taxpayers organization, of Fred W. Knapp. for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, got a quick response from A. O.

Delaney, of. Leona, president, of the organization. A telegram to the Lambert-son headquarters from Mr. Delaney stated the taxpayers has authorized no endorsement of a Republican candidate for governor, and that the Kessler endorsement was merely a personal one. Delaney wired today that) he is sending to the chairman of each of the 56 counties in which the taxpayers are organized a statement to this, effect State Offkfals Home to Vote.

Business at the state capitol today was virtually at a standstill, due to absence of officials from nearly every department who left last night or this morning for their respective homes to vote in the' primary tomorrow. These absentees include Governor H. J. Allen who'will vote in his home precinct at Wichita. DAIRY INSPECTOR ON JOB J.

Atchison Car ot Near Princeton Into Ditch Other Motor Accidents Over Week-end.

Freeling Kershner, aged 17, em- Ployed on the farm of Claude Al lison, east of Princeton, was dan gerously hurt about 8 o'clock last night when a Ford car in which he and T. Atchison, also living east of Princeton, crashed against the high bank of a roadway ditch south of the Frank Bell farm, two miles south of Ottawa. A deep jagged wound was cut in his throat from which there was a very profuse hemorrhage, and he was bruised and contused. He is at Ottawa Community hospital and was reported this afternoon to be making good progress. The accident occurred when the car, driven by Atchison, coming to the city on the trail, was speeded up as another car from the south attempted to pass.

Eyewitnesses say that the two cars acquired high speed, and were side-by-side as a third car bore down from the north. In the effort to pass the approaching car the Atchison car was crowded to the ditch, got from control of the driver and hit the bank. Kershner was hurtled forward and through the wind shield, a jagged piece of glass inflicting his major injury. Atchison clung to the steering wheel and was unhurt. Kershner's wound bled profusely and fortunately a touring party came along from the south and offered to bring him to the city, as the Ford car was wrecked.

The injuries, though very serious are not necessarily fatal, it is said. Kershner's parents, it is said, live in Coffey county near Waverly. H. T. Clearman Hurt.1 H.
