H. Holahauer of Dallas, an accred-
ited volunteer deputy for Wiley
Blair, federal fuel admintstrator tor
Texas, a visitor Thureday in Austin,
expressed surprise that in the capital
city of Texas so little attention wax
being given to observance of the
"Lhtes" nights order.
This order, issued Dec. SO. 1911, by
H. A. Garfield, United states fuel
aduinistrator, reads:
“LAghtless" N ight Order,
"Al eigne of every kind, including
merchant signa theater eigne, display
lights on buildings and elsewhere,
hotel sign advertising, are ordered
discontinyed completely on Thursday
and Sunda nights of each week. On
these same nights stores not open for
business must not show inside lights
more than necessary for satety.
"Manielpalities with cluster lights
or extra bright lighting for white way
effect must reduce Mme on Thureday
and Sunday nights to only so much
lighting as is necessary for satety:"
In repeating this order for ob-
aervunce in Texas the federal fuel
administrator for Texas said:
"It is believed that the carrying out
of this order will result in the sav-
ing of a large quantity of fuel and
at the same time will bring more di:
rectly to the people, through visual
evidence, that we are engaged at this
time in the carrying on of a Ereat
world wa , which every red-blooded
American man, woman and child le
determined to win at all coat."
Holzhauer Urges Observance.
Mr Holzhauer la manager for the
Michelin Tire company at Dallas, his
duller roquring him to travel conoid-
erably in the state. On his travels
he note, how the fuel administrator's
order is being obeyed, and when he
finds any indication of Blackness he
uses his powers of persuasion to
bring about better obedience.
"I etpected to find that in Austin
the order was being obeyed to' the
letter," said Mr. Holzhauer.
"I was greatly surprised to see in
the great Texas capital that non-
obsorvance of the order was very sen-
ertl.
"Upon making inquiry I learned
that many persons had not taken the
order seriously aa applying to Texas,
because the shortage of fuel was not
noticeable here, and others had for-
gotten that Thursday and Bunday
nights had been named for Aightieas
nights.
"I have presented to many that the
observance is necessary not only to
eonne-ve cool, but to keep before the
people at all times the fact that thia
country la engaged in a great war.
and that every conservation movement
must be obeerved and encouraged ae
much for the morel effect as because
it is a vital necessity.
"On CongreM avenue I obeerved
one store bed put out all lights ex-
cept ■ mfety light, while a rival only
two doora away had every window
brilliantly lighted until near midnight.
The ett authorities, however, ap-
poared to be obeying the order etrict-
ly bo far as the municipal lighting
was concerned.
"I believe if thto matter is called
to the attention of the business peo-
ple they will be more careful In giv-
ing absolute obedience to the order."
Senator Borah’s resolution, declar-
ing that wars resulted mostly from
the careless neglect by powerful na-
tions. of the rights of the weaker
ones, called for the repreeentatlon
at the pence table of all nationalitles,
however unimportant
Both he and Owen asked that the
senate foreign offal re committee give
immediate attention to their pro.
posals.
Senator Lewis declared that in the
intereats of a speedy general declara-
tion by the senate, he was willing to
have his resolution referred to the
committee which might take part of
them all. In composine a general

NEW YORK. Jan. 11.— All Spanish
ships now in American ports are to
oc held for an indefinite period on
orders from th* United States govern-
ment in Washington, exercised for
the first time today, when the Al-
phonso XII ws ordered detained
just as she was about to sail.
Th* Alphonse XU, a large passen-
ger liner of th* Spanish koyal eMail
ine, had aboard 260 passengers bound
for Spain when her sailing was can-
celed five minutes before scheduled
time for departure. The order wa*
delivered by officers of the United
States navy to Jose Zaragosa, agent
for the company, and huge notices
"•re posted also on the dour of the
snip's offices, saying:
"Suspend all sailing until further
notice."
Agents of the line were surprised
by tne action, which caused wide-
spread speculation in shipping circles.
Zaragosa declared he was at a loss
t understand the reason for the or-
der and that he had received no pre-
vious intimation of it.
Five other steamship* of the same
line are in port here and three are
in Spain. The Une also has about a
