"THE BEAST OF BERLIN
STIRS BIG AUDIENCE

Thank God, we are waking up-wa
are realizing the Importance OF prop
aganda-propaganda has put the claws
of Germany into every country of the
world and given her an invisible, uD-
seen control of many of them.
I'VE have been too proud to use prop
uganda even in our own country to
offset the dangers Of the enemy here
in our midst-those right among us
wherein lies our greatest danger" said
Burr Mcintosh, Americas leading pre-
pardeness man, at the Broadway the

Berlin" is showing.
Mr.. Mcintosh was not expected to
speak, but was carried away with en-
thusiasm while watching the first half
of the picture and asked permission to
go on the stage, which was readily
granted.
Broadway never heard such an ova-
ton as greeted the conclusion of his
patriotic speech by an audience that
packed the theatre many of whom had
paid one dollar for the privilege OF
standing.
ITO show the Kaiser in his true col

DRIVERS SOLD
COAL FROM LOAD
Sentenced to Ninety Days for
Stealing Fuel -Morecraft
Fined for Receiving 1t

So many complaints have been re-
ceived by coal dealers during the
past few months that coal delivered
to customers seemed to be of short
weight and that they felt that they
were not getting full tons, that the
dealers got together and decided to
investigate the matter.
AS result Chief Burke was appeal
ed to and he assigned Detective Ser
geants Huff and Long and the mer-
chants borrowed Detective Wyck off,
who is employed in local factory.
to assist. The result Is that the de-
tectives arrested three coal drivers
bought stolen coal from them.
The drivers were fined $50 each by
Recorder Pickersgill and the man
who is alleged to have bought the coal
from them was fined 800. They all
had the choice of paying the fines or
the drivers would go to jail for nine
ty days and the other accused man
for 100 days.
The drivers could not pay their fines
and will most likely go to the county
workhouse, but the man who is ac-
cused of buying the coal paid his fine
and is free.
The drivers accused are Vincent
Diziszk, of 312 Ridgley street; Ste
phen Schfzeki, OF 715 Charles street.
and Michael Smith, of SAG Elizabeth
street. The man accused of buy
ing the stolen coal is John Morecraft,
a grocer OF los Fayette street.
The coal dealers were in court TO
press the charges and it developed
that the practice of stealing coal by
drivers had gone on for some time. A
driver would go to the coal yard
where he was employed and load up
his wagon with coal. The coal would
be weighted and found correct and
then he would start out, but before
delivering the coal the driver would
stop, 1t is alleged by the detectives.
at Morecraft's nlace in Fayette streer,
and leave in some cases one bag and in
other cases two bags of coal. He
would then deliver his coal to the
houses.
The people who bought coal no
ticed that in some cases the tons were
very small and they complained of
this. Some went to the dealers and
others to Sealer of Weights and Meas
ures Henry loft. Mr. .Toft weigf@i
some of the coal in the wagons afts'
the drivers had taken off bag or two
and found that 1t was short weight
and he was puzzled to think that a To-
cal dealer would short weight coal
and he began to complain and the
dealers then let him into their conf
dence and they all began 10 watch.
A few days Traffic Officer Kssprxa
at State and Fayette streets, niticed
that coal drivers began TO stop at
Morceraft's place and he reported the
occurrence to Detectives Long and
Wyckoff, who watched the place and
checked up the drivers who stopped
there and the coal they delivered and
as a result the three drivers and More
craft were arrested.
ARfN nlAQhad
Morecraft stated he did not know the
coal was stolen, that the drivers had
told him that 1t was coal that had
been ordered by people and that the
people could not pay for II and they
r-o'ld ~sil II to him instead of TAX
ing 1t back to the yard. Recorder
4 kess6 gave him a good lecture
and told him he did not believe his
story and then imposed the fine.

Detectives Secure Money for
Man Dying in Hospital

Detectives Hartman and Gutowski
were called into rather peculiar case
yesterday afternoon in which dying
man who had given money 10 a friend
TO keep and who wanted the same sent
to him at the city hospital so that he
could give 1t to some friends, but
could not obtain the money from the
man who had 1t unless a police officer
was sent to the house to say that 1t
was all right.
The detectives secured the money
1t amounted to $3.50 and was handed
to him by Hartman and Gutowski at
the hospital.
Several years ago Vincent Horbart
came to this country and started to
work In local factory. At the same
time he commenced to save money and
gave II to a friend who is In business
on Hall avenue, to keep for him. A
few months ago when he was taken i'll
he had about $1,000. but he has been
Ill at the hospital for some time and
had left OF this amount $3.50.
According to the detectives he sent
for Rev. Francis Gross and told the
priest that he would soon die and that
he wanted the church of which Father
Gross is pastor. to have some OF the
money SO that he could have a suitable
plot in the cemetery and a tombstone
over It, The balance of the money he
wanted to give to a friend.
Father Gross, according to Hartman
and Gutowski, called on the merchant
who had the money and he refused to
give 1t up unless the priest got a po-
lice officer. The detectives were as
signed TO the case and learned from
Horbart that he wanted the money
and they went and got 1t for him.

LIBRARY MUST
GUT EXPENSES
Increased Activities Drain on
Institutions Resources More
Money for Books

With $4,000 in the city budget for
the use of the public library next year,
most of the time of the library trus-
tees at their regular meeting last night
was taken up in planning how to make
that amount cover the constantly in
creasing expense of running the insti-
tuition. 1t became evident that there
would have to be curtailments along
certain lines as the activities of the
library this year left the board with a
deficit of some five or six hundred dol
lars, which will have to be made up
out of next years budget. Among
things that are likely to be cut down
or eliminated altogether are the
branch library in the western section
of the city and the various commun-
ity interests that have been using the
auditorium and meeting rooms in the
basement of the library during the
past year.
The budget as tentatively adopted
by the trustees last night is as follows:
Books. $4,000: salaries. $500; re-
pairs. $3.50; light. $500: heat. 5000;
Janitor's supplies. $75: furniture,
$3.50; telephone, s4S; library supplies,
5000; rent for branch library, $120;
printing. $40; miscellaneous, s217.
This budget provides for no furni-
ture at all for the auditorium for
which 80 huCA mas Deeu expected as a
convenient meeting room for various
interests in the city: it also leaves only
a little over $3.50 a month for books
This, the trustees realize, is a ridicu-
lously low figure for books for public

great demand for books. particularly
among the children. keeps the shelves
well nigh depleted, the wear and
