Citizens Subject Aliens &
and to Alien
Confer On Rail Economy.

Officials of railways centering in
Chicago are meeting almost daily
for the purpose of perfecting plans
for the conservation of trausporta-
ton resources. In the present
emergency every effort is to be
made 10 avoid useless expenditures.
Every item OF loss on service is to
be eliminated as far as possible
without impairing efficiency.
The great need is the conserva-
ton of fuel. Ways and means of
saving locomotive power are being
discussed. The advisability of dis
continuing certain trains is under
consideration. While eastern roads
have not taken action as yet, they
are preparing for the time when it
does come. There is a possibility
lldl III Il SuOlt lilIlO lllC W Vol w III
be called upon to aid the east, and
the roads are preparing for that
time.
Passenger service is to be redu-
ced and competition eliminated
merely for the purpose of saving
the locomotives and fuel for urgent
government needs.
Economies of almost drastic ma
ture are being instituted under the
new regime. Government wants
are to be met at every point, accord
ing to prominent men i'll the rail-
road world. Useless expenditures
are to be eliminated, and it is hoped
that the good will be lasting. 1t
is more than probable that under
the efficiency campaign now being
conducted, railway expenses will
be lowered considerably and that
the effect will be lasting

Three "Kaisers, Loyal
to u. S., Change Names
Mother and Daughters Say They
Were Socially Ostracized

Three Kaisers were among the nu-
merous persons of German birth or
descent who last week obtained permis-
sion from the Supreme Court 10 change
their names. Since the United States
entered the war there has been no.
ticeable increase in the number of
these applications.
The Kaisers who discarded their
name because of "its distinctly Teu-
tonic origin and sign" were Mrs. Nora
Marie Kaiser and her two daughters,
the Misses Bertha Alice and Ethel
Elizabeth, who live at 1920 Broadway.
They took the name OF Swain, the
maiden name Of Mrs. Kaiser, who is a
widow.
In their petitions the mother and
daughters said they had been ITO Ger.
tain extent ostracized socially and
caused embarrassment by their name.
They expressed sympathy with the
cause of the Allies, and especially
with the United States
Edward A. Ehrensberger, who took
the name OF Earns, is engaged in Young
Mems Christian Association work. He
said his name had placed him under
the suspicion of being a spy. He added

Reporfed Seizure of
Big Radio Plant
In Theatre Denied

Federal officials characterized as
bunk" last night the report that a
powerful and completely equipped
wireless outfit had been discovered on
the roof of a Broadway theatre early
yesterday morning.
The report was published in an af-
ternoon newspaper, together with the
statement that three men, an engineer
and two chemists. had been arrested in
connection with the wireless seizure
and sent 70 the detention camp at Ellis
Island. The three were said TO be
Germans. No such men, it was learned,
we're either At Ellis Island or IN the
Tombs.
The only element of truth in the re-
port, it was said. was that small,
handmade wireless had been found IN
the cellar of the Casino Theatre, at
Broadway and Thirty-ninth Street. II
was not set up, nor Of sufficient power
70 be OF any great value TO the opera
tor in any case.
Thomas D. Mccarthy, United States
marshal. said last night that, on Satur-
day. a Captain II. Lawson, of the regu-
lar army, had called az the Federal
Building and reported the existence OF
the dismantled wirelesss outfit. 1t be-
longed, he said, to Paul Dahlstrom,
electrician of the theatre, who had
built and operated it AS hobby before
the war He said Dahlstrom desired
10 report the matter to the marshal,
together with the fact that the ma
chine had been dismantled.
The marshal paid little attention to
the matter until it appeared, in ex-
aggerated form. in the paper.

Coal Producers
Blame Railroads
For High Prices

Pittsburgh, June 10.-Decreased pro-
duction. through a continued shortage
of railway cars, was today given by the
Pittsburgh Coal Producers Association
as the primary cause Of the prevailing
exorbitant prices for bitumnous coal,
and an appeal was sent 20 Fairfax Har-
rison, chairman Of the Special Railway
Committee on National Defence. for
the help the association declares II
must have before rates can be reduced.
Comics of the letter, which was
signed by J. u. 4. Morrow. the asso-
ciation's commissioner and made public
here. were sent 10 the Federal Trade
Commission, the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Committee on
Coal Production Of the National De
fence Commission.
The letter pointed out that mines
represented in the association have an
annual production of 50,000,000 tons,
but that 100000 tons are being held
back every month because the rail-
roads do not provide the cars. Re
Gently Mr.. Harrison's committee for
mally requested the railroads 70 give
coal and iron ore preferential treat
ment. and "A little later the railroads
and the coal operators entered into a
pooling agreement for the more eff
cient handling OF coal TO Lake Erie
ports for Northwestern consumers.
Mr.. Morrow charges that the COM
mittee's order did not end the car
shortage, as is proved by the fact that
the mines of the district during May
failed TO receive nearly 10000 cars
which they should have had and which
would have enabled our operators to
ship 100000 additional tons of coal.
"This shortage of cars may be due
in part TO lack Of equipment" contin-
ues the letter. but we are convinced
that to an appreciable degree it re-
suits because coal cars are being used
10 haul other commodities. which for
some reason unknown to US have re-
ceived preferential treatment from the
railroads.
Stated plainly. the coal operators
here and elsewhere can produce all the
coal that the nation may require. At
present their sole lack is sufficient rail-
road cars and service. With sufficient
cars and service. adequate coal sup
plies can be assured and prices will
soon drop. The nations coal question
to-day. therefore. is simply and solely
a TRANSPORTATION problem"
