Events shap ed rapidly today toward relieving the threatened coal shortage and high prices for fuel throughout the country. Tentative prices, averaging about $2.23 a ton, for homo sizes, fixed by President Wilson for coal at the mouth of every bituminous mine went into ef fect. Prices to retailers and consumers will follow shortly. H. A. Garfield, president of Williams College, and now chairman of tho wheat-fixing board, has accepted tho post of fuel dictator, forecasted by the United Press. His installation will fol low completion of his present wheat task. The rates of profit to be fixed by the president is expected to be twenty cents a ton for wholesalers and fifty cents for retailers. This, added to the president's prices at tho mouth of mine in the 29 coal districts of the country, together with railroad freight and ex penditures of local delivery, will afford overy city a working basis for figuring the coal costs to the American home. Costs for the average house should be figured on prepared sizes, which are 25 eenta. UigUot than, the run of . iuiue.il coal. Tho president's prices at the mines rango from Sl.Uli with Big coal veins to $3.25 in Washington state's smallest veins.' Cuts Out Small Mines Washington, Aug. 22. Thousands of so-called wagon loaders, coal operators on a small scale, but producing many thousand carloads per month in the ag gregate will be wiped out by President Wilson's maximum prices, tXcordi'- to Chairman Peabody, of tho defense council's coal committee today. The industry, however, will be solid ly behind the president in his effort to reduce prices to the avorage consumer, he sai8. A largo part of the country's coal production already under contract will not be affected by the president's prices. ATHLETICS MAKING II!

Anyone who loubts the one time right of the Ath letics to win world's championships can be referred today to these facts: Charles Albert Bender, one of the stars cut loose by Connie Mack when he wrecked his famous team, has won three successive games by shutouts and has a string of four consecutive victor ies. Colby Jack Coombs has been a consistent pitcher for Brooklyn . until this season and still has enough pitch in ability to disccunt many a young hurler.

There thev are. the three stars of tho last Hack hope crusher, and , they wero veterans when Jlack deemed to drop them. ; Bender's record is the most imposing.

Addr, Registrar, Oregon Agricultural CoUage, OorraUia, Oregon. have to be increased very soon "cither now or in December." Vvealth Must Par Replying to the speech of Senator LaFollette, delivered yesterday, he in dicated that wealth, as represented in war profits, must soon answer the, roll call for "conscription" as has the man hood of America for service on the fighting line. Of the method of carrying out such taxation, however, ho said: ' We must protect our business and our credit, for tho credit of the Unit ed States is the great pillar of the war. Imperil your credit and you imperil tne victory of tuo Blues. And if we don't win, if at the end we find ourselves just where we were in the summer of 1914, we will have to spend countless billions more preparing for the next war, which a distinguish ed German general has just announced must be prepared for. ('No peace without complete vic tory for America and her allies is pos sible. Any other end to this war would leave the world an impossible place to live'' in." Take All War Profits ' Take all war profits before taxing the' people a- penny, urged Senator Townsend of Michigan, another mem ber of the finance committee who did not sign the majority report. "If this war depends on war prof its," said Townsend, "I'd abolish war profits, wipe' them out entirely, before I'd allow one cent more to be added to the people 's burdens. "This is not a popular war. It is a! necessary war. 1 know it is langerons to say it is unpopular but the public attitude toward it is such that we can not take a chance oi irritating the peo ple through 'taxation when their pa triotism is not at high pitch "Therefore, I'm against the irritat ing proposals of this bill to increase rimil rates nnd to tax railroad tickets, tea, coffee and sugar. "I also am againBt huge bond issues. Give us few bonds and much taxation, but the burden of the taxes mostly on war profits." J-low mucn would you raise oy tax ation? "Senator Borah of Idaho, asked I'd like to see 'three billion dollars raised by the present bill," replied Townsend. -"I'd get all this from in comes, war profits and liquors with perhaps" a tax on automobiles and amusements and similar luxuries." Senator Gerry, Rhode Island, briefly adv'ecdted lis amendment to the in come, tax provision Dy wnicn oi per cent of every income over $l,uuu,uuu would bo taken. Would Cost oerry $670,000 Lewis, Illinois, supported Gerry's amendment and lauded Gerry, who, a millionaire himself, must pay two thirds of his income to the government if his amendment is adopted. 'T like to contrast tho conduct ot this representative of the country with some of those who while crying aloud for war, were at the same moment cheating their government," said Lewis. "There has been a tremendous amount of ingenious lying about in comes to the members of the senate fi- Ttsaie e,Twwiae. Sonntora have boell approached by men who, on Sunday, have marched down the aisle holding the collection plate and very next day have come here, and justified a course which in any other forum would be called perjury and subjected to the pen alties for that crime." i Senator Smoot, Utah, opposing tho Gerry plan said the sixty seven per cent rate is "absurdly high." "In Great Britain," said Smoot, "tho highest rate on incomes is forty two per cent." ' 'There are not any incomes in Great Britain such as we have here," said Senator Borah, "if they had they would probably take a bigger share of them." Senator Kenyon said he would offer an amendment to conscript all incomes of $100,000 or ever. He sought to raise the rates in the Gerry amendment to take ninety per cent of all incomes over $1,000,000. Senator Smoot pointed out that be cause of existing income taxes, the ad dition of a ninety per cent rate would take more than 100 per cent of incomes OVer $1,000,000. Kenyon then withdrew the amendment.- "Let the amendment stand," said Seiiator Penrose, "as a monument to an attempt to confiscate more than the total of a man's income." Senator LaFollette, who has already offered two amendments to increase the income tax rate announced that he had three more- I i.

Spectacular blows at war pi of its were struck in all giveriimenc qemters today. President Wil.ton began his price fixing program Ly establishing a price of approximately $2 a ton on bituminous coal at the mine and expected, to fix the price to retail er and consumer soon. Increasing demands wero heard in the senate for revision of the great tax bill so as to conscript wealth more heavily. President Wilson's sweeping action in tumbling down the price of coal only foreshadows what the government is ready to do in the case of other pro ducts steel, oil and everything need ed by tho government. Labor, determined to share in the pro fits, threaten strikes in many ship yards and other plants. It is expected however, that early adjustment of these troubles ayill come. The department of justice is increas ing its vigilance to ferret out German agents who may be behind some of the labor unrest. It is knojvn that some have been dis covered working on a number of vital war tasks particularly aircraft produc tion. . ..Arrival of the Japanese mission today will open what may prove to be inter esting conversations between tho United States and the mikado. However, the need of ships Japan's possible contri bution to the war at this stage is not so acute now, owing to tho speed up order from the shipping board and a ship building program that will call for $1,000,000,000 more fr omcongress. Hence, it appears likely the Japanese mission may not develop into more than a friondly call. Conscriptlonists Aim. vVnsVimrton. Aue. 22. Advocates of conscription of the country's .wealth won a decisive victory wnen me today by a vote of 74 to 0, adopted tuc Gerry amendment to the war revenue, raising $40,000,000 additional revenue from incomes. Wealth conscription advocates won a second victory when by a vote of 35 to ;2, the seuato approved the so-called Leuroot surtax on incomes between $130, 000 and $80,000.- The Lenroot rates of 13,75 per cent, adopted by tho house was reduced to 12 per cent by the sen ate finance committee. After the senate, by viva voce vote had putJiaek into the bill all the Len- root tax rates, ou luruun i to $500,000 in place of lower rates vo-j ted for by the senate finance committee i Senator La Follette of tered a substi-1 b tute for the entire income tax section TJ of the bill. Thi substitute beeins with a one per cent tax on incomes of $5,000 and runs to 33 per cent tax on incomes of more than $47,500. Move Gathers Strength Washington, Aug. 22.-The senate move for conscription ui cuu reinforcements today or senators ... . vow rrtfit onng nigner laconic " i taxes. , . The struggle promises to no inui- spectacular and bitter tnan any m parliamentary conflict. Those who be lieve wealth should pay a greater share than provided by the senate finance committee had Senator Chamberlain advocate of conscription of youth on their side today. .. ... Senator Borah piannea ia su,. committee revenue nut on -it i,.v.- weslthv men and great corporations to fatten on the profits of slaughter of Americans and their allies- . . .V A poll by opponents oi tne preacu bill indicated 36 senators tavor highor taxes on weafth, 42 favoring the com mittee bill and 15 "doubtful." In gen eral, the senators from farm states are for increasing both income nnd war profit taxes, while those from factory states are opposed. The te3t of strength will come when the senate is asked to choose between the finance committee's plan and that of Senator LaFollette, providing larg er taxes. While Senator Chamberlain does not plan to speak on tho bill, he will use his influence to swing over some of the doubtful, and Senator Townsend, of Michigan, is preparing a speech against the present bill. The trading with the enemy bill was to be reported today but its passage soon is doubtful because of the revenue jam. , The military affairs committee plan ned to hear Colonel Beichmann's ans wer to charges that he is a pro-German man, before passing on his nomination to be a brigadier general. JOURNAL WANT ADS PAY 22 SAN FRANCISCO RIOTS Series of Riots This Morning Get Beyond Police Control, Many Injured San Francisco, Aug. 22. A sories of riots the most serious since the car strike began, broke out in various parts of San Francisco today, So serious did the rioting become that Chiof of Police Whito was forced to re-organize tho department, put the policemen on 13 hour shifts and put 200 more bluo coatg on strike duty. Up to II o'clock 22 cars had been practically wrecked. At several points the rioters got be' yond the control of the police and re serves were called from central station. Emergency hospitals in the Mission district, south of Market street, whero all tho riots occurred, wero kct busy all morning receiving riot victims, most of whom had been badly beaten. The most serious riot was staged directly in front of the Labor Temple, where strikers had gathered for a meeting. Strike leaders allege that a United Railroads car, filled with strike breakers and guards and followed by several atomobiles loaded with guards stopped in front of the temple for tho purpose of starting trobule. . Immediately a fight started. Strik ers, who were preparing for a meeting in the labor temple, poured out of tho building and .engaged in the fights It is estimated that- two hundred men participated in this fight, during which heads were cracked freely by both sides. Half a dozen men wore taken to hospitals as a result. While the police wero quelling this disturbance another serious riot began at 24 and Folsom streets, where three United Railroads cars were stalled. The scenes in front of tho labor tcmplo wero repeated here and a dozen men are declared to have been injured. Meanwhile smaller disturbances had broken out in other sections of the Mis sion district with similar results. During the height of the violenco Mayor Eolph called an emergency meeting of the utilities committee of the board of supervfsors and invited Jesse Lilenthal, president of tho United Railroads, to attend it. Lilen thal accepted and will meet the city officials at 2 p. m. Mayor Rolph an nounced his purpose of seeking an im mediate settlement of the strike. TO LEAVE FOB SERVICE. !
