said He stated that less material is
being produced in the mills here than
before the war, despite the fact that
the demand is greater.
II feel, however, that we have an
excellent chance of getting our workers
back. The wages of mill workers have
greatly increased until they arc vir-
tually on par with the pay given in
the shipyards. And the mill workers
have shorter hours now"
Mr.. Whitehead also stated that it is
almost impossible for the mill owners to
get sufficient raw materials to meet the
orders that arc piling up, not only from
merchants here. but from out of town.

Many complications will be encoun-

Gil of Samuel Chew. owner of the his
toric Cliveden mansion Mt Germantown
avenue and johnson street.
Thomas Ridgway has been. named as
executor and trustee. Mr.. Chew died
on July 5 at 1920 Race street.
Under an arrangement made with the
executor the register was about to en-
ter decree probating the two writings,
when it was discovered that the will is
dated July 5, 1916, while in the final
paragraph of the codicil it is declared
that the codicil shall adjoin a last will
and testament executed ION or near the
1st day of January, 1917"
Whether the Chew mansion Is to be
sold or conveyed to the commonwealth
as q memorial will depend entirely upon
the instructions contained in a scaled
letter which Mr.. Chew left with his
will. He left, according to the petition,
personal effects valued at $4,000 and real
estate, the value of which is given in
the executors petition as $4,000.

BIG BUSINESS ORDERS
SWAMP PH|LA. FIRMS
Fall Demands Greatly in Excess
OF Supply, Say Manufac-
turers and Merchants
RAW MATERIAL IS SCARCE

Philadelphia business houses are lit
orally swamped with orders for fall
trade.
Manufacturers and merchants in vir-
tually every line of trade explain the
existing business condition in this city
as one of supply and demand, with the
latter climbing to such an unexpected
height that it is almost impossible for
the production to keep pace.
The business outlook is regarded as
exceptionally good, especially for the
merchant with large stocks on hand and
the manufacturer who can obtain raw
material.
''Therc is general scarcity of raw
MATERIAL" William II. Best, of Straw
bridge & Clotheir, said today. "An
the dealers realize the scarcity of goods.
Manufacturers are struggling hard
to fill all their orders. But this cannot
be done in all cases because of the cnor-
nous demand and the scarcity of ma =
terials. The public. however, looks for
the dealer to give 100 per cent scrv-
ice. Our difficulty lies in explaining
the situation to the customers"
A. W. Dannenbaum, Of l.. Dannen-
baum Son & Co., explained the short
age in the market for silk goods. He
stated that orders continue to pour in,

Mrs. Clara Sabor, who was killed in

known persons" according to verdict
today by the coroner's jury at an in
quest held by Coroner J. Preston Pot

The principal witness was Charles

boro. the morning of the murder.
Two of the men who had been de-
tained by the police on suspicion OF be-
ing connected with the murder, were
released this morning. A third man,
William Watson, negro, of Glassboro,
is being held to await further investi-
CATION of an alibi furnished by him.
When taken before Mrs. Israel
Krasne. mother of the murdered woman,

TAX OFFICE TRAILS
REALTY PROF|TEERS
Collector of Internal Revenue
Scrutinizes Records to Get
Facts on Incomes
TWELVE CLERKS AT WORK

Profiteering real estate men who have
made large profits during the last eight
cen months at the expense of home
buyers will receive n financial jolt from
The federal government If they have
failed to make proper return of all
profits derived from the sale and trans
fer of dwellings.
Twelve additional clerks have been
engaged by Collector of Internal Rev
enue Lederer to copy every transfer
recorded in the Office of the recorder of
deeds at City Hall. The sale of every
property in Philadelphia during 1913
will be investigated. This method Of
checking up on profits was in vogue for
the first time last year for the pur-
pose of comparing income tax returns.
Records were then taken for some
years back. The taking of the City
Hall records Of property transfers is
but one of numerous methods used by
the Internal Revenue Department to
verify the truth of the statements made
by persons making payment of income
taxes in this district.
George +. Fletcher, chief internal
revenue agent, is in charge of the work
of verifying returns. Expert account
ants also compile information, derived
throughout the year in the course OF
their business, for government uses.
with all our vigilance, however,
said Collector Lederer today, Il would
not want to say that we track down
every dollar, but there are various meth
ods uIed to secure accurate information.
The scope of our investigation into
sources of income is being enlarged oil
the time, and with each increase we,
of course, learn something.
1.-THE work at City Hall we are hav-
ing done to get n line on the profits
made from real estate transfers. We
gained considerable information from
following up this line of work last
year after inspection of the 1917 ant
earlier records. Since then there has
been a marked boom in the real estate
market hereabouts and undoubtedly
some large profits have been made
What we want to assure ourselves o.
is that proper returns have been made
of all profits earned. The government
takes nothing for granted"
