TAKE STUART'S
WATCH, $1,000 IN
CASH AND BONDS
Former Governor of State Out
Two Ways When Bur-
glars Call

Philadelphia, May 2S.-A dia-
mond-studded watch voted twenty
eight years ago to Edwin S. Stuart,
former governor OF Pennsylvania, as
the most popular man in Philadcl-
phia, has been exchanged by thieves
for a burglars outfit. Gloves were
used to prevent q clue from finger
prints.
Mr.. Stuart had no voice in the ex-
change. and he didn't know anything
about it until after it had been ef-
fected Sunday morning between $50
and o'clock at Leary's bookstore,
in Ninth street below Market. Leav-
ing their tools and their gloves the
burglars took the watch, $1,000 in
cash and $500 in Liberty Bonds be-
longing to employees of the store.
A lawyer living next door to the
store, which Is owned by a firm in
GLIDING the former governor, tele-
phoned to William Stuart, anoth er
member of the firm and brother of
the one-time chief executive, about
$50 o'clock Sunday morning that n
basement window of the building was
open. Mr.. Stuart went to the store
and found his brothers private office
Uttered with papers and his desk
broken open. A visit to the counting
room disclosed a similar scene of
confusion.
The safe doors were open. One side
of the door had been completely
pried open by forcing back the bolts.
The burglars outfit and gloves were
found on the floor.
Former Governor Stuart said the
loss of Liberty Bonds by the en-
ployes would be made good by the
firm. He did not express a deep

COAL RATION
PLAN IS FIXED
BY GARFIELD
Failure to Add to Production
Indicates Demand Will
Exceed the Supply

Washington May 2S.-The system
of distribution for the entire output
of coal, both anthracite and bitumi-
nous, has been determined upon by
the United States fuel administra-
ton, it was learned to-day. 1t in
cludes the apportionment of the en-
tire available supply by geographical
districts and states so that every sec
ton will receive the full amount
which can be devoted to it's indus
triec.
Final decision in the plan was
reached after a conference between
Doctor Garfield, Federal fuel admin
istrator, and the anthracite commit
tee. Figures on the distribution of
anthracite coal are to be made at
once, while those for bituminous
coal probably will not be available
for a week, due to the fact that some
last-minute changes were made in
the anthracite schedule. necessitat-
Ing a Encouragement of the bitumi-
nous figures.
Reports from the state fuel ad-
ministrators, the estimated produc-
ton for the year and a survey of
the industries of the nation were the
tion plan was evolved.
All States Ask Too Much
1t was said that the estimates of
the state administrators as to the
needs of their respective localities
had not been met, as they were all
too high. At the same time the fuel
administration forced it's figures on
production in order to be able to
allot what was plain was the mini
mum on which the various sections
could get along. The Industrial sur
vey was another important factor,
as the officials were unable to pro-
ceed on a basis of population or
other existing figures, but were
forced to take into consideration the
expansion of the industries and the
increased consumption brought
about in allied industries.
The distribution scheme, in addi-
tion to alloting the amount of coal to
be given the various regions. will
determine the field of production
from which it is to be supplied and
the short haul will be rigidlv ad-
hered to so that consumers living
close to the fields producing the
more expensive grades of coal will
be provided with them regardless of
other factors.
Another Shortage Predicted
