DEAL At MIDDLETOWA
RO6T. H. TAYLOR CHARGED WITH
FORGING GEO. v. MOORE'S NAME

Taylor Was Employed by Burris & Son
Who With Moore Pushed the Case
With Result TayIor is Held
Robert II. Taylor, an automobile
slesman formerly employed by Wal
ter s. Rurris & Son. of Middletown.
was sent to the county workhouse
Monday of last week after being sur
rendered by his bondsman, George W.
Rhoades, who had been on his bond
for 81, 600 for his appearance at the
next term of court. on a charge of
forgery. The hearing was held late
last week, before Magistrate D. w.
Stevens at Middletown. While en-
ployed by Burris & Son, Taylor had
sold an automobile to George V.
Moore of Cheswold. and in part pay
ment for the same had taken a note
for $3.50, receiving the balance in
cash. Taylor, it is alleged in the
legal action, kept the original note
and turned in to his firm forged note
bearing the signatures of both Moore
and his wife, in settlement for the
car.
Several weeks after leaving the
employ of Burris & Son, Taylor, it
is further alleged in the action, went
to Moore and rendered him his cash
payment on the car, and then went
before a Dover magistrate and made
affidavit that he had destroyed the
note which Moore had given him, and
that Burris & Son had no claim what
ever on the car. The car was turned
over to Taylor, who brought it tC
Middletnwn, and few days later sole
it to Morris Berg, local tailor, fol
1926. Later, the ear was replevineC
at the instance of Burris & Son. Sup.
posing that Moore had sold the car
demand was made on him by Burri!
& Son for payment of the note
Moore denied owing the note, and pro
duced an affidavit which Taylor hat
made. The note was shown to Moor,
at the Citizens National Bank, an,
was by him pronour ced forgery.
warrant was then issued for Taylo
and he was held in 81, 900 bail, whic
he furnished, and was at large unit
he was surrendered by his bondsmen

BRITISH WAR MISSION ENDS
Practically All Major Issues Which
Brought Experts to This Coun-

Washington, May 22.-With the prac-
teal conclusion of the negotiations
over trade matters, the decision to
send an American army to Europe and
the transfer of naval negotiations to
London, practically all the major is
sues which brought the British war
mission to this country have been set
tied.
What remains now is the detailed
working ont of policies by experts.
Much of this, especially rs to embar-
goes. rationing. food control, ship con.
struction and the like, depends on the
powers to be conferred by congress in
legislation now pending.
A number of experts in the British
mission will remain in Washington in
definitely to discuss further details

MAY SET COAL PRICES
U. S. BOARD BLAMEs OPERATORS
FOR HIGH COST OF FUEL.
Trade Body Declares There Is Nc
Shortage-Asserts Excessive Prof
its Should Not Be Permitted.


Washington, May 22.-The bitumin-
GUS coal shortage is blamed on the
railroads, in Il report by the federal
trade commission. Producers, by TAX
ing advantage of the lack of cars, are
charged with responsibility, however,
for prevailing high prices.
There is no scarcity of coal in the
ground" the report says. There is
sufficient coal in the bituminOus coal
mines now being operated, not only to
supply the present demand, hut also to
supply Il greatly Increased demand.
The unprecedented demand for this
fuel in the last six months, together
with the difficulties of rail and water
transportation, not only has absorbed
the coal as fast as it could be shipped
from the mines, but has led also to al
most complete exhaustion of the ecal
stored at tidewater points ana at the
docks on the Great Lakes. a.....
"The country faces IL serious state of
affairs in obtaining Il commodity which
Is basic TO practically every form of its
military and industrial activity"
Under the war time conditions"
says the report, 1T may become the
duty of the government TO take steps
similar 10 those found necessary by
belligerent European countries, and
not only to regulate the distribution of
coal from the mouth of the mine to
the ultimate consumer by allotting the
quantity of the product which the diff
ferent classes of consumers shall be
allowed 10 purchase, but also to estab-
fish the prices to be paid by different
classes Of consumers. At
time like the present excessive profits
should NOT be permitted to he extorted
from the public by producers and dis
tributorS of any prime necessity of
life"
The interstate commerce commits
sion, the Supreme court decided, has
power TO compel railroads to furnish
n reasonably adequate" supply of
coal cars to handle normal and sea-
sOnaT' demands for interstate com
merce originating at mines along their
line and to award PREPARATION to ship
pers for failure to supply such cars.
