URGES REVOCATION
OF MONDAY CLOSING
H f. BYRD Virginia ADMINISTRATOR
Recommends Withdrawal Of Fuel
Order to DR. Garfield.
SAYS OBJECT REALIZED.
All Virginia Has Entered With One
Accord the Observance of the Orr
tier--Not One Serious Violation Re-
ported.

The federal fuel administrator for
the state OF Virginia. Harry Flood
Byrd. yesterday urgently recommend
ed to the national fuel administrator.
DR.. Harry a. GARFIELD, that the heat
less Monday" order Of the govern
rnent, and the consequent closing Of
stores and manufacturing plants. be
revoked.
The object of the ''nsatless Mon
day order--ths hunksrtng OF the
steamers In the Virginia waters at
plying of coal for necessary war tn
duatries. and the alienation OF the
suffering IN the homee-has been ac-
oompltshed. The result has been
achieved while the weather has been
the seversst In years.
Besides the big result that has been
realized. many factories In Virginia
that use large supplies OF coal are
busiiy engaged in necessary war work
and have been exempted on Mondays;
therefore continuing the use OF coal,
Mr.. Byrd says. the Monday closing
order as applied to non-exempted IN
dustries and places of business will
not hereafter accomplish substantial
savings OF coal TO Justify the order.
This Monday closing order has been
a great interruption to the usual chan
nels of business. which MIR. Byrd
thought distinctly disadvanta,geous.
He feels, though. that there has been
great saving on the part OF the
stores and factories.
Mr.. Byrd says that the people have
been most patriotic IN their observ-
ance of the fuel control regulations.
, The factories. stores and Offices have
readily closed and no force has been
found necessary. No violation OF a
serious nature has come to the atten-
ton OF the authorities. The willing
ness with which the Virginia people
have responded to the government q
order has been brought 20 the atten-
ton of DR.. Garfield and the adfninis-
traitor has expressed his qualification
and appreciation OF the strict observ-
ance OF the law. Administrators Byrd
Ia also highly pleased with the ready
accord of the Virginia people. 1t is
an excellent manifestation OF patriot
ism when all the countless factories
stores and Offices throughout the en-
tire state rise with one accord and
carry out the body and spirit of the
order without one violation.
II seems unlikely that there will be
another 'heatless Monday" Three
observances of the holiday has ac-
complished enough. Mr.. Garfield be-
lievex, TO discontinue tho order. I'm
dcubtediy there has been n great con-
servation. and II Ia expected that

Brooding over the fact that he faced
possible Imprisonment for bringing Iiq-
uor into the state unlawfully and also
possible interment for leaving a barred
zone without special permit, Max

ferred death to the punishment that ap-
peared to be imminent
Max Hirschmann was born in Ger
many SO years ago and came to this
country with his parents when young
man. He arrived in Michigan City in
1886. and during the most of the time
since had either been bartender or had
been engaged in the saloon business for
himself. In the days when the Vreeland
bar was the leading saloon of Michigan

Last summer a trunk in the baggage
room of the Michigan Central depot was
accidentally broken and this disclosed
the fact that it was packed with filled
whisky bottles. The shipment came
from Chicago, but no one claimed the
trunk. Investigation was Immediately
started which resulted in the discovery
that the trunk had been shipped by Max
Hirschmann from Chicago to himself.
He had made misstatement 10 the
baggageman in Chicago as to the con-
tents Of the trunk. Hirschmann's arrest
followed and he was taken to Indianap-
oils for his preliminary hearing This
resulted in the matter being held over
for the federal grand jury, which viii
meet this month. Hirschmann was an
alien enemy and carried a card, and by
reason thereof he was not permitted to
leave the barred zone without special
permit. This he did by going 70 Chi
cago at the time he purchased the
whisky in that city and had it sent to
Michigan City. For this act he faced
internment. and for the shipment of the
whisky he was liable to Imprisonment.
