BOOST PRICES.
OF ANTHRACITE
COAL AT MINES
Retail Dealers to Charge More
After Saturday For
Product
PEA A DOLLAR HIGHER
Further Orders Are Expected
Daily From Washington to
Protect Consumers

Philadelphia, Aug. S0.-The big
anthracite mine owning companies
are readjusting prices at the mines
to conform with the Presidents ma
tion-wide price list.
The new prices become effective,
under the governments ruling Sat
urday. They will mean a boost in re-
tail prices, the dealers say, unless
the government revises its rates
again.
The Lehigh Coal and Navigation
company has taken the initiative.
Announcement is made by the COM
pany that the price of it's pea coal at
the mines will be $4 a ton Septem-
Der l. 1t has been selling at sS.4O
a ton. With the usual 10 cent. winter
increase effective next month, 1t
would under ordinary conditions be
only $3.50 for the winter.
New Schedule
The Philadelphia and READING
usually leads in announcement OF
coal prices. Announcement of their
schedule is expected to-day or to-
morrow.
A price of SO a ton at the mines
has been charged for pea coal this
month by the Philadelphia and
Reading. If it takes full advantage
OF the Presidents order it can charge
81 extra beginning Saturday, with
out having increased pay to the
miners or incurring any expense thai
would justify an increase.
There has been no word from
Washington regarding the complaints
sent in from this city on the new
prices. An order regulating the re.
tail dealers is expected daily.

HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE WHEN
CAR UPSETS
Passenger and Grew Near
Death When Trolley Jumps
Track and Turns Over

An unusual accident occurred be-
tween Calder and Reilly street, in
Cameron, this morning at 1880
o'clock, when a large closed car of
the Harrisburg Railways Company
jumped the track. continued for
some distance parallel with the tracks
and then turned over on its side.
Fortunately the car contained but
one passenger when the accident oc-
CURED. C. E. Martin, an agent for
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, had been making collec-
tions in that neighborhood. and was
returning to the city. Mr.. Martin
was cut about the face and was bad
ly shaken UP, but was not seriously
injured. -
The conductor of the car was
Aaron Nye. William J. Essix was
running the car. The accident oc-
CURED in front of the Gospel Mis-
sion. At this point the streets are
not paved, and there is bad dip
in the track. 1t is claimed that cars
have jumped the tracks there three
or four times during the past month,
but this is the first instance in which
a car has turned over.
Persons living near Calder street
saw the car leave the track. 1t con-
tinued for some distance along the
rails. then suddenly swerved, and
swung across the car. lines. When
the rear truck of the big car struck
the rails, it was unable to maintain
its balance, and toppled on it's side,
almost blocking the roadway.
Bystanders say that the car was
not running at a rapid rate of speed
when it left the rails. The men in
charge of the car escaped without
injury.

FIRST QUOTA
WILL LEAVE IN
BODY SEPT. 5
Twenty-seven From Dauphin
to Start Then For Camp
Meade

The men who will make up Dau-
phin county's first draft quota, five
per cent. of those to be summoned
on the first call for troops, will leave
in body for Camp Meade Wednes-
day, September 5. There will be
twelve from this district, ten from
the second and seven from the third.
This announcement was made b.
Adjutant General Stewart to-day.
Four from each district in Cum
perland will leave for the same place
the same day. Juniata will send
hVe, Lancaster county, first district,
ten, the third and fourth, nine each /;
Lebanon county, nine in each dis
trlcti Miflin county, seven; North
cumberland county, seven in the first
and second each; eleven in the third
and nine in the fourth; Perry county,
seven; York county, eleven in the
hrst, fifteen in the second and one
each in the two-city districts.
Franklin's quota will be one and
he will go with the men to be sent
Thursday, September 6. Hunting-
don county will send seven men Fri
day, September Z.
Men Go Together
Changes authorized by Washing
ton have permitted Adjutant Gen
eral Stewart and Colonel Sweeney to
so arrange the transportation of the
tlrst five per cent. of the drafted men
from Pennsylvania that all from any
one district will go on the same day
and in a group. This, it is thought,
Will be much more satisfactory than
the sending of one or two men each
day beginning September 5, as was
at first proposed.
Destinations and dates for depart
ure together with the number of men
to- go from each district were an
nounced to-day after the state Off
cials and railroad passenger experts
had gone over the arrangements.
The first allotment will leave waa-
nesday September 8, and it has been
so planned that the entire Ave ner
cent. quota required by the govern
ment will be moved in one day from
each ad4strict instead of few men
each day for the five-day period.
This makes but one days work for
each local board in the assembly and
dispatch of the men summoned and
the men themselves will travel with
neighbors and friends instead OF
among strangers.

Daniels Says U. S. Fights
Battle of German People
Bv .4ssoeialed Prfss

Charleston. w. Va, Aug. 30.-Sec-
retary Daniels. speaker here to-day
at the breaking of ground for the
government arnfor plate and pro-
jecti1e plant, declared that America
is fighting not only for the demo-
cratic nations of the world. but is
waging "the battle of the people of
the German empire themselves"
Mr.. Daniels asserted that in pre-
pairing for q terrible war the navy is
taking the surest means to bring
about an early and effective peace.
The Secretary declared that the
government had been dilatory in pro-
viding for Its war needs. Had atten-
tion been given to the far-sighted ad-
vocates of preparedness. he said, the
country would not have entered the
war with wholly inadequate facilities.

Artillerymen Outnumber
Infantrymen in Great
Battle Near Verdun
BY Associated Prets

Paris, Aug. 30-The number of
artillerymen employed in the recent
operations in the Verdun region was
greater than the number of infantry
men put into the battle line. This
surprising fact is explained by the
correspondent of the Temps as be-
ing due to the difficulty of the gum
ners' tasks in addition to the i'm
mense number of cannon. Heavy
shells had to be carried to the guns
for hours at a stretch by men who
were compelled to wear masks which
rendered breathing difficult and OBJ
structed their vision.
The correspondent adds that the
object of the artillery now is less
directed to destroying enemy guns
than to forcing the German gunners
to suspend service and seek shelter
For this purpose, he said, gas shells
are employed largely.

May Mean Big Battle.

Into The Sea.
RENCHALSOPUSHAHEAD

London, April 23.--The British
troops fighting in France have made
additional gains between Arras and
st. Quentin and also southeast OF
Loos, in the latter district, taking
prisoners, according to the official
communication.
Apparently big battle is brewing
along the front between Arras and
Lens, where the British guns are again
hammering the German lines. Except
for this artillery activity and small
gains southeast of Loos and between
Arras and st. Quentin, in the region
of the Havrincourt wood. Sunday
passed with comparative calm.
Likewise on that part of the front
held by the French artillery duels pre-
dominated, being intense between the
Somme and the Olse. In Champagne
the Germans launched several attacks
on the heights in the Massi of Moron
villers and against Monthaut, which
were repulsed with heavy casualties.
German aviators shot down near
Newport an entente airship which fell
blazing into the sea.
