GARFIELD FIXES COAL PRICES
Fuel Administrator Announces Final
Decision, Which viii Be Bind
lnq on All Dealers.

Washington. Fuel Administrator
Garfield announced regulations, effec-
tive at once, for the limitation of the
retail prices of bituminous and an
thracite coal throughout the country.
The fuel administration has fixed,
in the conclusions arrived at, not the
specific price which the retail dealer
will be allowed to charge the con-
sumer, but the gross margin which
the retail dealer will be allowed to add
to the average wholesale cost Of his
coal In making retail prices.
The retail dealer will be allowed to
sell coal to The consumer at a price
representing an advance of not more
than 80 per cent over the retail gross
margin of 1915. In no case, however,
Is the gross margin from now on to
exceed the gross margin Of July, 1917.
II, for example, retail coal dealer
bought particular kind of coal in
1915 at an average Of 81 ton and
sold II to the consumer at 50 ton,
his gross margin was 81. DR.. Garfield
now allows him to add 80 per cent to
this amount, making his gross margin
for 1917 S1.30. provided that is not In
excess of his gross margin in July
last.
II the retail dealer now pays an av-
erage of SO for the same kind of coal
he will be allowed to sell 1t to the con-
sumer for not more than $4.30 a ton.
Doctor Garfield selected 1915 as a
normal coal production year.

MAYOR ARRA|GNED
IN MURDER CASE
Philadelphia Executive and
Eight Others Accused
OF ELECTION CONSPIRACY
Hearing Attracks Throng To Court
Trial OF Gunmen Waits On Dis
posal OF "Hieherups"
In Case.

Philadelphia. - Mayor Thomas b.
Smith and eight other men were
formally arraigned on the charge OF
conspiracy to murder as the result OF
the killing of Policeman Eppley by I'm
ported gunner during the recent pri-
mary election riots in the bloody
Fifth ward. The hearing took place
in the Municipal courtroom of the City
Hall before Judge Brown.
The other eight defendants are:
Isaac Deutsch, Common Councilman
from the Fifth ward; Police Lieuten-
ant David Bennett, William E. Finley,
Select Councilman; John Wirtschafter,
special policeman; Michael Murphy,
special policeman; Clarence Hayden,
Emmanuel Uram and Louis Feldman,
the latter three being policemen from
the Fifth ward.
The trial of the two gunmen charged
with the actual murder was put aside
in order to prosecute the nine men.
Samuel G. Maloney, chief of the Val
OFarrell Detective Agency, who was
arrested on charges OF conspiracy to
murder, but later released on a writ
of habeas corpus, with the aid of Dis
trict Attorney Rotan, was the star wit
ness against the accused.
Hours before the time set for the
trial spectators jammed the corridors
of the City Hall in efforts to gain ad-
mittance to the courtroom. Admis-
sion was by card only. Many clergy
men were unable to gain entry and
had to be satisfied with news that
came from the trial.
That Mayor Smith told James A.
Carey, who was elected as Common
Councilman from the bloody" Fifth
ward, that he (the Mayor had started
the Wares against Carey and that the
Wares were told to 60 the limit during
the city administration, was brought
out when Carey was put on the stand.
Carey testified that the Mayor told
him that the city administration was
against the witness.
"I started the Wares against you.
told them to so the limit. and that
my administration would stand behind
them,' Mayor Smith told me-" Carey
testified.
Carey was one OF the men assaulted
by imported gunner and suffered from
a fractured skull.

The Drake was vessel of 14,100
tons. She was built at Pembroke in
1901 and had a speed of % knots.
Her complement was 900 men.
A sister ship of the Drake, the Good
Hope, was sunk in the battle with the

with loss Of S87 men.
The Drake was well known in East
ern American waters, having several
times visited the United States and
Canadian ports. She was the flagship
of the Fifth cruiser squadron which
attended the Hudson-Fulton celebra-
ton in New York in 1909.
The loss OF the Drake recalls the
fact that she visited Annapolis In
1907, the year of the jamestown Ex-
position. She was the flagship Of
Prince Louis OF Battenburg, who was
commanderin-chief of special squad
ron of warships sent to represent the
British government at the jamestown
Exposition. The squadron lay off An
napolis for a week and the Prince and
his officers were the recipients Of many

ernment in Washington.

one Is asked to lend his money to the
government. The loans will be repaid
In full with interest at the rate Of 4

not. No other investment compares
