NO BEER FAMINE
IS EXPECTED HERE
Brewers Association Meets
the Closing Edict by
Earlier Deliveries

A famine in beer, n situation predicted
by some consumers of beer who are In
clined TO view the future with gloomy
forebodings, Is not likely to visit Phila-
delphia as a result of the fuel admins
tration's order shutting down the brew
cries for five days. According to the
Philadelphia Lager Beer Brewers Asso-
citation, which includes in its membership
forty-two of the ffty-hve breweries In
the city, the breweries delivered to their
customers enough beer on Friday to
last them until Wednesday. when the
breweries will resume operation.
Many of the local breweries distributed
so much Of their stock on Friday that
they had left only a very few barrels in
stock. But the supply which was sent
out was much larger than is needed for
usual daily consumption of beer, and II
was said at various breweries that Il
will be possible to brew enough beer in
q few hours TO meet Wednesdays needs.
After that, Il will be easy 10 produce
enough in advance to tide the saloons
over the ten consecutive Mondays on
which the breweries will be shut down.
About 10000 barrels of beer are con
aumed daily in the Philadelphia district
according to figures from the office OF
the Collector Of Internal Revenue

PARIS Jan. 2l.---A Paris newspaper
prints photograph of Miss Anita Pat
ton, Of San Marino. Cal, and says 1t is
reported that she is engaged to General
John J. Pershing, commander OF the
American forces In France. The news

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Jan. 21.--Miss

old friend OF the Patton family. There
was no tangible basis for the rumors,

Ing the banking institutions of the State

the State governments have the right
to close the banks and trust companies

The Governor recommended in his
statement on the fuel orders several
days ago that the freight embargo and
the movement OF coal might be aided
by the bringing in of $4,000 soldiers
acquainted with rallroading and now In
the southern cantonments. However, he
has no power over the soldiers in the
camps and railroad men generally have
criticized the suggestion adversely for
the reason that the movement OF so
many men would tie up the railroads
more than they are now.

bars on the heatless Mondays, but so
far he has done nothing. lie has no

RAILROADS FIGHT ZERO
COLD TO RUSH TRAINS

NEW YORK. Jan. 81. 49, Despite
weather conditions even worse than
have prevailed for the last fortnight
railroads in the eastern territory are
battling vallantly TO untangle the con-
gestion which made necessary the dras-
Tic fuel embargo. Reports received at
the Office of A. H. Smith. assistant di-
rector general of railroads, told of the
desperate efforts being made to move
trains.
The severe cold has slowed up traffic
and hampered unloading and clearing OF
main lines, yards, tracks and terminals.
Work OF taking loaded coal barges to
steamships waiting for fuel here was
slow and difficult owing to ice jams,
stihened by high wind and tempera-
ture of s degrees above zero. Fully
50 per cent OF the feet OF tugboats has
been laid up because of damage from
Ice. At the coal pockets frozen coal
again caused great delay in loading and
unloading.
For the twenty-four hours ending at
a. m. Sunday II was announced that
1902 cars OF anthracite and bituminous
coal had been dumped at tidewater ter
mlnals. compared with 1864 the day
before. At tidewatsr yards were 2Ols
cars Of anthracite and 1853 of bitumi-
nous. The day previous there were 22sv
cars OF anthracite and 14G7 OF bitumi-
nous. In transit within twefty-fouI
. hours Of tidewater were lO4l cars 81
anthracite and 2s6 Of bituminous. There
were S21 vessels waiting for bunker
coal, compared with al the previous
iWenty-four-hour period

ments. Squads Of men working in brief
shifts were sent out TO clear the
switches. Workmen were compelled TO
lay off in increasing numbers, the re-
ports stated, crCating further shortage
of help.

gradually relieves the shortage In New
York and Its suburbs, the city looked for
ward cheerfully to its first "heatless
Monday" Clearer understanding OF what
the Government desires has frightened

A resolution calling for strict com.

Candidates for Commissions to BE

Examinations are being held at the
United States recruiting office, 1873
Arch street today, for candidates for otti-
GERS In the engineering corps or the
United States army. The main require
ment is that the candidate must hold
diploma from a recognized engineering
school. This provision is regarded IN
many circles as a mistake, as 1t is con-
tended that many leading engineers
have been trained on the Job and really
know more about it than college-trained
men. Applicants must also be in good
physical condition and between the ages
Of twenty-one and twenty-nine' years.
Written examinations will be held for
those already in the army and\a mental
test for those outside the service, which
will be much more difficult.
