ANOTHER SUIT
FILED AGAINST
NEWCOAL BODY
Specific Shipment Clause Held
Unconstitutional by Chi
cago Company.
SAYS ORDERS CONFLICT
A°suit testing the validity of the action
of the Special Coal and Food Commission
of Indiana in ordering coal companies to
make specific shipment* of coal to cer
tain Indiana concerns in specific amounts
and on certain dates, was filed before
Circuit Judge Harry Chamberlin today
by the J. K. Dering Coal Company of
Chicago.
The coal company in its petition, asks
that the orders transmitted by Jesse
Kschbach, as chairman of the special
commission, seeking to compel the com
pany to ship carloads of coal from its
Indiana mines in Vigo County and Ver
milion County, he declared null and void
and be ordered vacated by the court.
CONFLICTS WITH BASIC
LAW OF r. S.. CHABGF..
The Dering Coal Company claims, in
the suit, that the actions und orders of
the Special Coal and Food Commission
are illegal and Invalid because it con
flicts with Section 1 of Article 14 of the
Constitution of the United States which
provides that no act shall “deprive any
person of liberty or property without
due process of law." and the coal com
pany claims the actions of the Goodrich
coal commission does deprive them of the
“liberty and freedom of contract in re
spect to property.”
The complaint sets np numerous or
ders of the coal commission ordering the
coal company to make specific ship
ments of coal on certain dates. The
company claims that some of their coal
is suitable only for use in by-products,
gas. coking aud metalurgtcal work.
COMPANY BOUND BY
FORMER. CONTRACT.
The coal company claims that it is
bound by a former contract entered into
•with the Illinois Steel Company to de
liver for one year its entire output of
coal from its mine in k ermillon County
to the steel plant at Gary.
The company also Is under valid orders
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
to deliver coal to cars furnished by the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois Kailroad.
The plaintiffs contend that the State
coal commission can not legally Inter
fere with former contracts and orders of
other commissions when it is impossible
for the coal company to make the ship
ments as ordered by the State Coal Com
mission.

POINT TO SAVING
IN CHEST IDEA
Men in Various Lines Agree on
Principle of Plan.
Expressions of opinion obtained from
Indianapolis men representing many
different lines of endeavor all agree on
the real saving tlint Is to he obtained
through the success of the Community
Chest organization and policies.
Different reasons have been advanced
for the support of the chest by different
advocates, hut all agree that In the
abandonment of Innumerntde drives In
favor of one drive for all the community
13 best served.
Edward A. Kahn says:
Nearly fifty different solicitations are
combined In the one campaign for funds
for the Community Chest, to be con
ducted during the week of Nov. 29 for
the support of charitable and philan
thropic institutions of Indianapolis.
Through the one campaign, the sub
scribers to the chest protect themselves
from many appeals. Indianapolis cifl
sens should appreciate this fact, and
liberally contribute to the Community
Chest. There Is no better way !n iny
opinion of financing the various Institu
tions than through a centralized bureau.
Mgr. Francis If. Gavlsk says:
What Is the Community Chest for
which there will he an organized drive
for funds during the week of Nov. 29?
It Is a common purse of fifty or more
benevolent and philanthropic agencies In
Indianapolis. It Is the united expression
of the community towards Its charities.
Better one big collection for all the char
ities than fifty solicitations for fifty
good works. All of us have our favorite
charity. Even that one will fare better
under the Community Chest than under
the separate canvass for funds.
During the drive week, let us not limit
our vision to our political, church or
racial horizons. As members of the great
community of Indianapolis let us expand
the view to the entire field of community
welfare. Let every one share in filling
the Community Chest as we did two
years ago with the War Chest. It Is a
worthy undertaking, and Indianapolis al
ways puts through that sort of thing.
Evans Woollen says:
I am heartily in favor of the'Com
munity Cheat for Indianapolis and Its
campaign for funds, for the support of
charitable and philanthropic Institutions
which will be conducted during the week
of Nov. 29. I f.s-1 sure that the Com
munity Chest will meet with the general
support of Indianapolis citizens. In my
opinion this is the best way of financing
charitable and philanthropic institutions
—by combining some forty or fifty char
itable individual campaigns into one gen
eral campaign—thus relieving the sub
scribers from a multitude of appeals.
Stoughton A. Fletcher says:
If for no other reason, the Indianapolis
Community Chest campaign for funds
should he supported by Indianapolis peo
ple generally, because It will take tha
place of many campaigns by Individual
institutions. It would be a bad thing
Indeed for the city If the various char
itable and philanthropic Institutions were
to be compelled to make separate cam
paigns as was done In former days. I
am heartily in favor of the Community
Chest and its campaign for funds, to be
conducted during the week of Nov. 29.

TO DETERMINE
COLLAPSE CAUSE
(Continued Pram Page One.)
Mr. Melvin was quoted before his ap
pearance at the coroner’s office ns hav
ing told Herman Scherrer, one of the
architects, that the building might not
stand the vlbrutl >i:h of the derrick and
suggested that the Ittenback company
place more guy cables to support the
derrick. This was done later, it is said.
Melvin also declared on the day of the
accident that he did not believe there was
any danger from the derrick when it was
not in motion, and the derrick, according
to many witnesses, had not been in
motion for five lulnute* previous to the
aceident.
Mr. Melvin ulso stated on the day of
the accident that the steel work was in
perfect plumb and that the customary
permanent rivets had been put in place.
The coroner is attempting to determine
if the weight of th* derricks was too
great for the roof to support; if the
steel work was not sufficiently bolted
and riveted to hold, or If the vibration
of the guy wires supporting the derrick
had loosened the steel structure lu such
a way ns to cause the collapse.
Twenty-two witnesses test'fled yester
day before the coroner, who is being
assisted by tlty Building Inspector Wai

Capture in Wrangel Haul in

MOSCOW, Nov. 17 (By Wireless to
Berlin, Nov. 20.—50 enormous was the
booty captured from General Wrangel In
Crimea that the soviet government has
appointed a special commission to su
pervise its transportation from the bat
tie front. The captures embraced every
kind of war materials, including many
French fighting airplanes, tanks, guns
munitions for artillery and small arms
and unused uniforms. The prisoners in
cluded soldiers from thirty different
units of General Wrangel’s army.
A great wave of rejoicing swept over
soviet Russia when news of the victory
was flashed over the government wlre

in sight for the first time since the sq*.t
government came Into power.
The autl-Red forces under General
Balaehovitch and General Petlura, which

With prospects of a Complete cessa

soviet government are now discussing

The storming of the defenses of North
ern Crimea by the Red army was one of
the most dramatic battles of modern
times. Russian military men say that it
compares with the battle of Verdun. The
powerful defensive works, which were
believed by General Wraugel’s engineers
to be impregnable, were first breached
with violent artillery fire and then the
troops poured through the gaps.
Leon Trotzky, commissar of war in
the soviet government, personally direct

as the Kusso-Polish armistice was signed
Trotzky left for the Crimean war theatei

With Regard to Nerv-Worth.
They W r rite Letters Recom

Offer Indisputable Evidence.
Nerv-Worth gives real results and
Is a real medicine. It does not act as
a mere stimulant, nor depend upon
alcoholic stimulation to produce re
suits. The ministers whose letters
are reproduced below have tested
Nerv-Worth, and found that It is
really a preparation of highest merit,
and because they know that It gives
results, and has real medicinal value,
they recommend it to others. Noth
ing could be more convincing than a
group of statements from gentlemen
or the cloth. Read what they say:
Rev. Mr. Tate, Pontiac Ave.,
Dayton, Ohio
“For five years I was In a very
nervous condition,” said Rev. Tate.
"I couldn’t find any relief, it seemed,
until I took a bottle of Nerv-Worth.
I didn't have any nerve force to di
gest my food. I could eat only a few
things. 1 was advised by my doctors
not to eat any cold lunches. Gas
would form ou my stomach, and
cause terrible bloating, my blood was
also in very bad condition, and my
circulation poor. My legs would get
cold and numb, and my hands would
also get the same way. I am now
nervous no more, and 1 can eat any
thing any time. My stomach and
digestion are tn fine condition, I have
no more bloating, my circulation is
good and there is no numbness and
cold feeling in my legs and hands.
I am feeling fine, and have regained
mv health and vigor. Nerv-Worth
changed everything."
Rev. H. Malone, Meadville, Pa.
“I was in a terribly run-down con
dition. had no appetite, and couldn’t
sleep. I was very nervous, and my
stomach xvas bad. Gas would form

troops—and they justified Trotzky’s ex
pectations.
It is now apparent that the demorali
zation of Wrangel's soldiers had been
under way for some time before the
collapse. Twenty-four hours after the
faU of Simferopol and Sebastopol local
soviet governments were administering
all public affairs. They had been es
tablished a month previously, but had
to conduct their affairs by underground
system.
The first telegram from the Crimean
soviet government was received by the
Moscow government Tuesday night. At
that time It was not known definitely
that General Wrangel had escaped to
Turkey upon a ship, and the message
aroused some expectation here that
Wrangel might be a prisoner.
Red soldiers captured an order of the
day signed by General Wrangel saying,
that as the allies were giving him no
further military assistance, ho extended
permission to all his soldiers to sur
render themselves to the Reds.
Military experts writing In tha local
newspaper, Pravda, say that the Impor
tance of the victory in Crimea can not
be overestimated.

almost ashamed to tell, but in fact I
can eat anything and everything. I
am no longer bothered with flutter

Nerv-Worth for the benefits I have

Rev, John T. Hickman, Salem,
W. Va.
“I take pleasure in saying that as
a general tonic, Nerv-Worth is the
best I have ever used I now sleep
more soundly, my appetite is better,
and my stomach is in better condition
than for years before. No one
needing a tonic should fail to give
Nerv-Worth an honest trial.’’
Rev. Mr. Jenkins, Cumberland,
Md.
"I have used Nerv-Worth in my
family with the result that I am will
ing to give this testimonial, believ
ing it will help the suffering wherever
it is possible for Nerv-Worth to
reach the case,” said Rev. Jenkins.
“I am doing this for the good of
others, and in giving this testimonial
to the effectiveness of Nerv-Worth.
I have not been influenced by any
argument for Nerv-Worth doing what
it claims. I am, in truth, as far as
I can discern, speaking of the prop
erties of Nerv-Worth.”
Nerv-Worth does not contain any
artificial or alcoholic stimulation to
deceive the user. It acts in a sensi
ble way through real medicinal value
to give the desired results. Nothing
■ould be more convincing than the
letters from the ministers above. If
you suffer, try Nerv-Worth. Give it
a trial, and you will find that it will
give you results. It is sold on a
money-back guarantee. Buy one bot
