secret Service men and naval intelli-
gence officers. who went to Rochester
~ T., on Friday on a mysterious mis-
sion, returned yesterday apparently
we'll satisfied with the results of the
trip. In Rochester, it was learned
they arrested Ernest Won Carlhausen
who is said to be lieutenant in tn.
German navy.
The capture Is regarded as an i'm
portant one, it is said. but no details
concerning the activities which directed
slsplclon toward Won Carlhausen were
to be obtained. He was turned over to
Northern District of New York. Sew
eral government bureaus have been
seekk.g him for some time, and one o.
them is said to have used a picture of
him IN his naval uniform in the prose-
culion of the search.
Won Carihauscn is said to be an
electrical engineer of exceptional abil
ity, and to have been graduated from
the kiel Naval School in Germany with
the rank of constructor
When the governments intention to
enroll and tingerprnt all enemv asiens
more than fourteen years old became
known, Won Carlhausen is said to have
been living at 2l0 North Third Avenue,
mount vernon, n. Y. He is married
and has son, and at the time. it is
said. had q permit issued by United
States Marshal Thomas D. Mccarthy.
Six weeks ago. it is said, he left his
home in Mount Vernon. None of his
nighbors knew Of his denarture. nor
was Marshal Mccarthy Informed Of it..
as was required by the regulations. II
is believed that the search for him
began soon after his absence from
Mount Vernon was discovered.

NAL, Administrator De-
clares in Defence

Before more than six hundred Will
Jams College men, gathered last night
at the Hotel Bltmore for the annual
midwinter reunion in this city, DR..
Harry A. Garfield, United States Fuel
Administrator and former president of
Williams, defended the policy of the
workless Mondays and explained WHY
they were ordered.
Overseas Service Reestablished
AS result of the closing order, DR..
Garfield said, 480 ships, carrying more
than 100000 tons of food, fuel and
munitions and other war supplies,
which had been tied up in Atlantic
ports, were bunkered and sent to sea
from January II, the day the order
became effective, to January 20. A
normal number of ships only remained
at anchor, he declared, and the flow of
supplies necessary to The American ex-
peditionary forces and the Allies had
been reestablished.
In addition, the Fuel Administrator
continued, the rails were cleared for
important shipments of steel and other
commodities to factories, without
which the most essential war indus
tries inevitably would have been
closed, but not il an orderly fashion"
DR.. Garfield called attention to the
fact that the nations foreign COM
merce had increased from two billions
IN 1913 to nine billions, and said there
had been placed on the railroads little
more than one-half the number of To-
comotives needed to care for the in
creased traffic, the remainder being
sent to France and Russia. Almost
without exception, ne continued, the
manufacture of war material was at
its height about the first of last De-
cember. Then came the worst weather
the country had experienced in twenty
years. The railroads found the
struggle against overproduction and
billiards. too much for them, the ad-
ministrator said, and some relief was
necessary.
"Io cite few only of the most i'm
portant articles,' said DR.. Garfield, ''the
shipments Of steel plates essential to
the building of our ships fell off nearly
SO per cent during the period from the
beginning of December to the middle of
January.
Peoples Spirit Praised
"The fuel administration, believing
in the democratic ideal, asked not that
some but that all participate in the
sacrifice necessary to save us from our
own prosperity, and the American
spirit arose and asserted itself. There
was no crushing Of the weak in great
scramble, but all stopped except the
few appointed to absolutely necessary
work.
"The reaction of the American peo-
pie in the face Of the greatest crisis
which this generation has been called
upon to face proved that they were
true inheritors of the American spirit
and practical advocates Of the prin-
ciple Of democracy. They have demon
strated that free action and willing
cooperation is more effective than au-
tocratic compulsion. They imposed re-
straints upon themselves which the en-
tire army Of the United States could
not have forced them to observe. 1t is
the American spirit, the spirit Of ef-
fectlVe cOOperation"

Coal Prices Cut
By Regulation of
Jobbers' Profits
Retailers to Pay Uniform
Figure for Fuel After
April l

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1G-Reduction
in the retail price of both anthracite
and bituminous coal is expected bv the
fuel administration as the result of a
decision announced tonight to elimi-
nate jobbers' commissions after April l.
Under the new regulations retail deal
ers will obtain coal at the same price,
whether purchasing directly from the
mines or through middlemen.
Jobbcrs now are permitted to add to
the government price at the mine a
commission of from Is to 30 cents a
ton, but the old practice will be re-
sumcd of making the jobbers look to
the mine operators for compensation.
The mine price will be increased slight
ly to provide for the operators added
expense, but it is announced that the
advance will not be equal to the com
mission now allowed the jobber. The
amount of the increase will be deter
mined later.
Jobbers Called Profiteers
Elimination of jobbers' commissions,
the fuel administration announced, was
necessary in order to wipe out sys-
tematized form of profitecring which
has increased the cost Of Ilel TO the
consumers.
"Under the system Of allowing the
jobbers a specific guaranteed commits
sion" said the statement, "it developed
that it was possible for some operators
to adopt the practice of establishing
subsidiary companies solely for the
purpose Of selling. thereby absorbing
the jobbers' commissions. Another
practice was that of swapping COAL
Two producing companies might agree
to act as jobbers for each other. Each
might buy the coal of the other and
then sell at the mine price, plus the
jobbcr's commission.
JObbcr Is Essential
"Thc operator who sold direct to the
retailer was at a disadvantage, because
he was forced to bear the selling eX-
lense and was not permitted to collect
the jobber's comml sson
"Thc jobber is essential to the con-
duct Of the coal business, and the fuel
administration has given careful study
to the best means for insuring him a
reasonable compensation for his ser
vices, While at the same time eliminat-
ing fictitious commissions, which were
ultimately paid by the consumer"
