Friday evening after the girls had
gone to cooking, Mr.. Miller from
Garfield came down to Warner
school to give lesson in woodwork.
We used scroll saw. 1t had

hold our saw straight up and down.
We could not work in our wood

Five Colored Men in Tolls,
Charged With Breaking
Into Residences

The police of this city made an
important haul this forenoon when
a negro who gave his name as Irwin
Boob Allen was captured. Allen is
now lodged In cell in the police sta
tion, and will answer q charge of
robbery. All will be charged with
robning the home of George NJ.
Whitney, 1905 North Second street,
last Friday. and will likely be charg-
ed with participating in a series of
robberies which have baffied the po-
lice for some time.
Yesterday afternoon, a young ne
gro named James Harrison was ar
resed by Detectives ShuIer and
Speese, charged with having entered
and taken from the home of A. R.
Calder, 22OO Bellevue Road. two val
liable watches and jewelry, the
whole amounting to $500. One of
the watches had been pawned at a

Federal Commission Shows

Some interesting sidelights have
Philadelphia by a report of the Fed
eral Trade Commission. Recently
Philadelphia dealers declared that
they wished they were making fifty
cents a ton profit" This week Phila-
delphia prices were Jumped, and an
appeal was made to DIR. H. A. Gar

report OF the commission followed

April. despite the claims of the deal
reached fifty cents. The report does
not cover pea coal. on which the
nhIs Idhrsest st. advanGe , was made: Philadei-
Pn1a PM dealers csaim their cost of haul
The statement of the Federal Trade
commission is considered significant
in that 1t takes into account the pos
coal from the railroad controlled
mines. Dealers explained the in
crease in price by saying that they
were required to buy largely from
the independent operators. who are
permitted to charge an excess of sew
enty-hve cents a ton over the price of
the large operators. Shortage of sup
ply was given as another reason. The
commission experts claim that the
city received more coal during April
and May of 1917 than was received
during the corresponding months. the
year previous.
Philadelphia's newly announced
prices are somewhat higher than Har-
risburg prices, the difference ranging
from sixty cents to $1.10 ton. Com
missioner Garfield has advised resi-
dents of the Quaker City to hold off
buying until later in the year. He
promises that the people will get coal,
