GROUND Is BROKEN
FOR SUBWAY LOOP
Operation Starts on Locust
Street Leg by Excavation for
Re-Laying of Sewers

Ground for the Locust street leg of the
delivery loop of the subway high-speed
transit system was broken this morning,
when workmen began the work of OPEN
ing Locust street at Eighth for the relay
ing of two sewers.
One square at a time will be done so
as not to hamper property owners on
Locust street too seriously The paving
for a distance of forty-five feet on each
end of the street will be kept intact dur
ing the operation.
The delivery loop will run from Broad
and Arch streets under Arch to Eighth
under Eighth to Locust and under Locust
10 Broad street, and will cost nearly 81 900.
900. Contracts for the Arch and Locust
streets sections are held by the keystone
State Construction Company. which is the
concern of Senator McNichol. The Eighth
street section of the contract has been
awarded to Smith, Hauser & McIsaacs, of
New York, although this firm announced
informally some time ago that 1t would not
accept the contract.

BONE-DRY LAW
Liquor Transported for Per-
sonal Use Not "Inter-
state Commerce"
DECISION OF U. S. COURT

WASHINGTON. oct. 2.
70 waiter Mitchell negro living at
Republic. Kanawha County. w. va be.
onss the distinction OF making the first
test OF the bone dry" law NJ March O.
Isi1, which prohibits the ira sportation OF
intoxicants into any state or Territory the
iaws OF which prohibit the manufacture or
sale therein of liquors for beverage pur-
poses Mitchell was acquitted by the
United States District Court. and the ne.
partment of Justice has lust instructed the
United States District Attorney not TO at.
tempt an appeal OF the case 70 the Supreme
Court.
Mitchell bought quart of whisky at Cat
lettsburg, KY. and, taking a car on the
Ohio Valley electric line transported Il to
henova, w. Va. intending to carry 1t to
his home in Republic He knew that the
law of West Virginia permitted him to do
this. but he did not know about the 'bone-
Dry law recently enacted by Congress for
tne purpose of preventing persons living in
ory States from importing liquor for their
own personal use.
At Kenova Mitchell was arrested by the
authorities and indicted in the southern dis
trict of West Virginia. The case was heard
Oh an agreed statement of facts and there
was no trial by jury. The District Judge
acquitted Mitchell and held that while the
bringing of the liquor into the State on his
person was transportation of liquor there
was no phase Of commerce connected with

tion in interstate oommerce" within the
meaning of the "bone-dry" law.
The District Attorney proposed an imme-
date appeal of the case, in order that the
United States Supreme Court might pass
upon tho constitutionalty of the law, but

POPE SEEKS PEOPLES
SUPPORT IN PEACE MOVE
Approval of Certain Socialistic
Aims Attributed to His Holi-
ness by Rome Paper
ROME oct 9

ROME, oct 2.
Pone Benedict is apparently seeking sup
port OF his peace plans from the people of
belligerent nations. since his appeal TO the
rulers has so far been Ineffective. Direct
approval by the Holy Father Of certain
sociallstic aims was attributed to him In
two separate statements today
The greatest significance was attached
TO an editorial In the Osservatore Romano,
newspaper frequently regarded as the
Natican's Official organ, and which II was
believed was approved by the Pope. The
editorial declared the Holy See was in
agreement with the Socialists of Italy and
elsewhere in so far as they were seeking
to safeguard democratic liberty and pro-
tect constitutional rights by legal means" "
Those who professed to see the Pope TAX
ing the radical step OF sympathi2ing with
soc!alistic ideals read the Osservatore
Romano's comment in connection with a
bitter editorial attack in the Corriere
dltalia on German Foreign Secretary
they held. the Vatican had contrived a
diplomatic hint to Germany as well as a bit
of counsel to the German people, and es-
pecially the German Catholics
Another direct intimation of the Vati-
cans position on the development of the
peoples rule was in the Pope's words Of
greeting to a new Russian diplomat accred-
lied to the Holy See.
Interviewed today, this Russian fatty de-
MED that the Pope favored a reactionary
Russia. He said his Holiness expressed
personal sympathy with Russia's democracy
regarding the revolutionary movement as
political and social evolution.
Il found the pontlflcal mind agreed" this
diplomat asserted that peace is the ex-
elusive prerogative of Parlaments respon-
sible to the people or the people them
selves"

the unbroken rush of foreign orders,
- the untitled tonnage of that corpora
ton decreased $4,000 tons from the
last month. The production caught
up with the demand that much in
thirty days. This, of course, means
OILY one thing, the domestic consumer
is out of the market until he can get
reasonable prices.
The decline in building operations
in the United States is another matter
of broad significance. Here is a coun-
try where everybody is employed,
where thousands of people are flock
ing into cities, where money and
credit are overabundant. and yet peo-
pie are not building houses to live in
and only add to their factories when
the purchasers of their products pay
for the extension.
The truth is that the whole scale of
prices is war-made and artificial. Food
and clothes we must buy, and in the
clothing trades the prices are fairer
than in any other. People can do
without new houses for a while how
ever, and they have evidently decided
to do without them until building
prices come down.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1917-19??, 1917-08-23

President Wilson, acting upon au
thority vested in him by the food con.
troll bill, has fixed prices of coal al
the mines. The prices vary according
to kind or quality of coal and the dis
trict where it is produced. In Ten
nessee the price of run-of-mine is
fixed at $3.50 and $2.40, prepared
sizes at 1925 and $2.65, and slack OF
screenings at $2.O5 and $2.15. The
Presidents next step will be to fix
prices of coal to the consumer, allow
ing the retail dealer a reasonable
profit. The profit allowed the dealer
together with freight charges, will
represent the difference between
prices at the mine and prices to the
consumer. The consumer therefore
can be assured that his coal will cost
him appreciably less this fall and
winter than it cost him last winter,
instead of more. Coal that will here
after sell for about four dollars a ton
sold last winter for six and seven
dollars.
