Industries F Forbidden
To Use Domestic Coal
Fuel Board Warns Household
ers Will Suffer if Plants
CHAT

WASHINGTON, April "A warning
against the use of domestic anthracite.
coal fer the maintenance of industries
was issued to-day by the fuel admins
tration. In some industrial communi-
ties manufacturers, endeavoring to
avoid fuel curtalnment regulations i'm
posed by the government, are using do
nestle coal.
The official communication sent out by
the Fuel Administration day states:
ut is noted that domestic sizes of
anthracite coal have been used by the
industries norder to keep the plants
going. This, in the opinion of the ad-
minlstratlon, should not be done and
it is absolutely unfair to the docestic
consumers of those communities which
are going to receive the allotted ton
mage.
IF portion of this tonnage is used
for manufacturing purposes to replace
bituminous coal, it simply means you
are going to have a shortage among
your domestic consumers, which it is
going to be impossible to take care of.
The coal dealers should be instructed
not to supply domestic sizes of anthra-
cite coal for industrial purposes where
it is to replace Dituminous.

Customs Men Arrest
Alleged Opium King -
Think They Have Man Who
Dispensed Much of Drug
Here Lately

With the arrest in Brooklyn last
night of two men who were charged
with tratflclng in drugs, customs agents
and the police believe they have the
opium king" through whom increased
quantities of the drug have been intro
duced into this country in the last six
months
The men arrested are William Seigel,
twenty-elght years old, of 1924 Broome
Street. who says he is jeweller, and
Max Cross, thirty-four years old, of
923 Forest Avenue, The Bronx. who is
held as an accomplice. They We're taken
by customs men, with the assistance
of Detective Thomas Mcdonald, who
was at one time head of vice squad
here.
On information from sources I'M
named, the customs men came to sus-
pect Seigel Of selling the drug to SOL
diers and sailors. James F. Nc
Conochie, special agent. posed as a
dealer in drugs.
He met Seigel by appointment and
arranged for the delivery of 25 cans
of opium. Last Aight, they were to
meet again in Brooklyn to exchange
the drug. AS they came together
Seigel began unloading cans from an
automobile driven by Cross. McCono-
chic opened one Of the cans and said
"This is the right stuff" which was
the signal to arrest both men. The
police say that the opium was worth
SLIPS. They believe that it came into
the country by way of Canada. Other
arrests may follow.

Mails Are Robbed

Thievery has invaded the railways
and even the parcel post, where a
wellnigh perfect honesty had prevailed
before the war. In the discussion of
the railway appropriations in the first
week of March the Railway Minister
said in the Prussian Chamber: "Thefts
have increased the tasks of the ad-
ministration enormously, almost mon
strously, and they have multiplied to
an immeasurable extent within few
years" An assistant of the Railway
Minister reported that 1877 officials
and employees had been sentenced by
the courts in 1917, against only 767
in 1915. He admitted that thievery was
enormously prevalent and took on we'll
nigh incredible forms.
1t appears to be impossible now to
get food of any kind through on the
railways without large losses through
thieves A Berlin suburban town had
several carloads of apples coming from
Bavaria and announced in advance that
each citizen could get two pounds; but
thieves took toll to the extent of one
half, and 10 the distribution was only
one pound.
The boldness Of the railway thieves
is remarkable In February some
butchers and livestock dealers were
arrested in Westphalia as they were
about TO send off carload of sausages
and smoked meat. II was directed to
COLOGNE and was marked railway ser
vice uoods"; and they almost sue

Declares Jealousy
Keeps Marines Home
Britten Tells Congress Daniels
Wants Sea Soldiers Sent to
France

WASHINGTON, April 4.-What
promised to be spirited debate in the
House to-day, preciptated by charges
of Representative Britten, of Illinois,
Republican. that military jealousy" is
keeping the marines from the fighting
line in France, was cut short by Ma
jority Leader Kitchin with a motion
to adjourn. Mr.. Britten said Secre-
tary Daniels was anxious to see the
marines go to France, and called on
the Secretary to tell the country who
is Irresponsible for this injustice"
Several Democrats sought to reply,
but only Representative Sherley, of
Kentucky, had spoken when the dis
cussion was cut short. Recalling that
Mr.. Britten had proposed 20 amend the
draft act so that no man called into
the service under that law could be
sent to fight in foreign country with
out his consent Mr.. Sherley added:
81 am glad to note that the gentle
man from Illinois has changed his
mind to the extent that he wants some
men to go"
