WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 '. While re
laxation of restriction in the use of
bituminous coal continued today. In
dicating government belief that the
strike crisis has passed, congressional
Investigation began to bear upon the
active participants in the settlement.
The appearance last night of Dr. H.
A. Garfield, whose resignation as fuel
director was accepted yesterday by
President Wilson, before the senate
sub-committee investigating the coal j
situation, was followed toda." by in-1
dications that Attorney-General Pal
mer and other hijh officials would
be called on this week to explain why
plans of ' Dr. Garfleid were set aside
and a compromise made with the
miners' union on a basis which the
former fuel administrator described
as "contrary to fundamental prin- ,
ciples of government."
Reramptioa Held Assured.
Acting President John I Lewis of
the United Mine Workers of America
predicted today that by Monday night
95 per cent of the miners would be
back to work.
"Though it has been a difficult task
to reach all of the men in the short
time since the decision was reached."
he said, "It is certain that they will
go back."
Restrictions imposed on the use of
fuel during the strike gradually are
being rempved under the scretion
ary authority to rescind srch orders
given the regional railrcad directors.
Thus the working week will open ' j
morrow with, a nearer approach to a
normal jndustrial situation than any
week since the strike started Novem
ber 1.
Control Yet Exercised.
Although most of the .power to re
scind the. various restrictions has
been placed in the hands of the re
gional directors, the railroad admin
istration is continuing to exercise a
supervisory control over bituminous
coal and coke. This has been made
necessary ' not alone by the resigna
tion of Dr. Garfield, but also by the
resignations of Cyrus Guerney Jr.,
assistant to Dr. Garfield, and John A.
Alport, chief engineer, both of whom
came back to Washington to serve
with their chief when the fuel ad
ministration was revived. These res
ignations have practically put an end
to the reinstated activities of the ad
ministration. Appointment by President Wilson
of a commission to supersede the fuel
administration is expected this week.
No intimations of the personnel have
been given in official quarters,
though the basts decided upon will
make its composition include one
mine worker, one operator and a rep
resentative of the public. The three
will have power to readjust wage
scales above the present advance of
14 per cent to the miners, if decided,
and also to advance the selling price
of coal.
The scale committee of the oper
ators of the central competitive field.
It was learned today, probably will
meet in Cleveland Wednesday to con
eider their attitude toward the strike
situation.

EAGLE PASS, Texas. Dec. 14. Def
Inite news from Fred G. Hugo, Amer
ican manager of the J. M. Dobies
ranch near Muzquiz, Coahuila, held by
Francisco Villa for $10,000 ransom,
still was lacking today. Unofficial
reports reaching the border, how
ever, indicated the American with
several Mexican hostages, probably
was being detained in El Pino moun
tains, about 100 miles from Muzquiz.
Apparently reliable information to
day is that the rebels did not leave
Muzquiz until Saturday. It was stat
ed they headed in the direction of
El Pino mountains, leaving word that
the money for Hugo's release was to
be left at Pino Solo, situated in the
mountains.
Villa did not molest the poorer per
eons in Muzquiz, confining his loot
ing to the wealthy residents and the
principal stores, according to today's
advices. He carried off a large sup
ply of blankets, several automobiles,
horses and wagons and great quanti
ties of food, it was said.

meinDcr or nouse immigration com
mittee which is inveetieatiner condi
tions at Ellis Island, denounced Sec
retary of Labor "Wilson and his de
partment in an address here today on
What Ails America?" He referred to
he refusal of Secretary Wilson to
give the committee the department's
report on immigration service, declar
ing that "no man is too big in this
country to withhold anything from a
congressional committee." He assert-
d the committee is determined to find
ut who is responsible for "the lax
conditions at Ellis Island."
It was announced that officials of
the department of labor would be
called before the committee in Wash
ington tomorrow.
"The officials of the department of
labor." said Mr. Siegel, "are more re
sponsible for the spread of radicalism
than any one set of men in this coun
try."
Since the congressional committee
got busy investigating the department
of labor," he continued, "four hun
dred radicals have been taken into
custody again, having been either
paroled or released on small bonds at
ome previous time following their
original incarceration at Ellis Island."
Sympathizers and comrades of radi
cals in jail throughout the country
gathered at a Christmas remembrance
dance tonight and contributed money
and gifts for their imprisoned col
leagues. More than 500 pounds of su
gar were delivered to Elizabeth Gur-
ley Flynn, destined for several fed
eral prisons. She estimate' the num
ber of "political prisoners at 1500.
Jacob Abrams, Hyman Laehowsky
and Samuel Lipman. whose convic

lating to war prisoners or the. extra
dition of German subjects for trial
although it expresses the hope that
the allies will permit themselves to be
convinced that both issues have an
important bearing upon the internal
political situation in Germany.

Ted Atwater was the hero of the

the fraternity house. His spectacular
end run had captured the champion

rival's field.
"'Do you know, fellows, I thought the
day before the game that I would
have to chuck my chance to play for
the championship." he said.
"Standing around the station In that
drizile when the crowd gave the team
