Chicago, Dec. 5.-Following receipt of instructions from Fuel Adminis- trator Garfield at Washington, r. w. Proctor, regional coal director, today announced that fuel will continue to be furnished meat packers in Chicago and the west and northwest to operate slaughtering, refrigerating and pack ing plants.

KICKED GUT OF U. S.;
 MUST NEVER RETURN
Anarchists Start, But Law yer May Get Them Back
 For Short Time.

New York, Dec. 5.-Writs of habcas corpus in behalf of Alexander Berkmun and Emma Goldman were granted by Federal Judge Mayer this afternoon on application of Harry Wcinbcrgcr, counsel for the anar- chists sent to Ellis Island earlier in the day for deportation to Russia. WeinOerger said he would insist upon his clients presence in court when argun2 Ant Was heard.
 Alexander Berl1man and Emma Goldman, his companion in thirty years of anarchstic activities, were sent from the mainland of the United States today, probably never to return.
 Ordered deported for urging over throw of the government by violence, they were taken by ferry from the tip end of Manhattan to the immigration station at Ellis Island, where they will be held until a ship is available to send them to Russia, whence they came. Their liberty on bail expired, they were surrendered by their coUn- sel at the demand of the department of labor.
 Berkman's career in America came to an end while Henry Clay Prick, whom he once attempted to as- sassinatc, was being buried in Pitts burgh.
 A stones throw from the statue of Liberty, the two most notorious an archists in this country probably will spend their remaining days in the United States, of which Berkman never became citizen. The woman, claiming to be a citizen by an early marriage will make last legal effort to remain on this ground and Berk- man also will seek a writ of ha abeas corpus on the claim that this country s right of free speech permitted him to urge his anarchistic ideas freely. Hundreds of immigrants, eager to become real Americans, but detained at the island because of poor health or technicalities, gazod at the couple who had so detied the laws of land of freedom that they had spent much of their lives in jail.

 ton Of Scnatc-McXiCan Consul Very Particular About Giving Gre
 dentialS to Cross International Line.

El Paso. Tex, Dec. 5.-Border rep reSentativeS of American concerns in Mexico today weru preparing to carry out instructions fer withdrawal of American citizens employed south of the Rio Grandc. While no Immediate exodus of Americans, of whom there are many hundreds, is expected, agents here are endeavoring to provide means for a quick movement north, II conditions become serious.
 Prepare to Leave at Once.
 Instructions to prepare for imm edi- ate withdrawal from Mexico came on the heels of news from Washington concerning the Mexican situation as viewed in congress. Ill somo cases the instructions were for immediate Withdrawal and in others calls were less urgent and apparently designed as precautionary measure so that Americans in isolated sections of Mexico can be notified to be ready for any eVentuality.
 If the United States senate should adopt the resolution Withdrawing reel OgnitiOn from the Carranza govern ment, 1t was said, there would be an imm mediatc exodus from Mexico leaving many mines and other prop critics idle and throwing thousands of Mexican laborors out of work

DEPT. OF JUSTICE
 RULES ON PROFITS
Gain of 6S-7O Cents Per Hundred Pounds of Sugar is Deemed to
 Be Sufficient.

Hartford. Dec. 5-Protit of 6S cents per 100 pounds on sugar is deemed to be a reasonable margin by the department of justice, in d letter received by l.. $. Dist. Attorney John F. Crosby. The margin has been from 60 to 70 cents per 100 pounds. Recently a New Haven wholesaler applied to Fair Prico Commissioner Scovillc for relief claiming that the profit fixed was inadeuuutc The wholesaler had asked for $l n 100 pounds on bulk sugar and SIPS on carton sugar.
 The letter was exhibited at a con- ference held with the |. $. Dist At torney. It was there announced that during the remainder of December and until the sugar equalization board ceases tO function there would be q rigid enforcement Of tho limitl- ton on sugar profits. Tho fair price committee voted & to against the request of New Haven wholesaler for an increase in the wholesalers profit. Four merchants and one housewife on the committee favored an increase in the profit.
 The U. $. Dist. Attorneys office an- nounced in addition that besides en- forcing the law on profits the burden of proof would be placed on the re- taller to show that he was obliged to raise the price of sugar, which may not exceed one cent per pound.
 Retailers to secure protection should keep their receipts for sugar sold them by wholesalers, the office declared

 The secret meeting held by the su- lqcpreme. council yesterday, with Mar sinai Foch and Gen.

It is said this conclusion was reached at the secret session of the council Of five yesterday at which Marshal Foch was present.
 Ample means exist to pronounce and carry out an ultimatum, it is sad the marshal demonstrated at Inc meeting, and if is reported hc under > took to put into execution the plar he drafted last Juno, the more threat of which brought German del egateS to Versailles.

BERLIN TEA CHEERS FORMING
 UNION AND MAY QUIT WORK
Threaten Strike if Finance Board Refuses to Grant Them Desired Salary In- crcaScS.

Teachers in the Berlin schools are preparing demands for an increase in salary, which, if not met by a more generous scale of pay, may result in a wholesale walkout. The resolu tions have been in the process of for nation for some time and those fam liar with the situation have antiCi- pated an early preSen tatiOn before the finance board, which controls the salary paid to the Berlin teachers. Through d series of meetings held "on tho quiet the teachers have formed an organization, similar in it's construction to the teachers unions now in many of the larger cities. This ''union," although not recog- nized as such at present, may back up the demands of the teachers for increased salary by ordering a walk out.
 Formal Notice January i.
 The finance board will receive otf- cial notice of the denands about January 1, it was stated this morning and there is little doubt that their requests will be compiled with, ac- cording to a statement made by a Berlin city official today. It has been recognized for some time that school teachers are poorly paid, he said, and many teachers are quitting their posts in the larger cities to take more remunerative employment. The town of Berlin has an excellent staff
 of teachers, it is stated, and the com munity would suffer by their leaving. WaIlsout is New Idea. Steps taken by the Berlin teaching staff in unionizing is similar to the action taken by teachers throughout the country in an effort to obtain sal ary increases, but the possibility of a general wall1out of, the entire teach ing force establishes a precedent. The salaries paid the Berlin teachers do not average moro than $1,O00, and this is considered a generous esti- mate.
 Teachers On War Path. The town meeting, held several months ago developed into d battle over the school budget which was raised to $47,000, an increase of $10,- 900 more than the year previous. This amount was considered by the citi zens to be enough for the running of school affairs but the teachers think differently and are now on the war path to have a hearing in the mat 1 ter. superintendent of Schools B. k. Showalter could not be reached this morning but it is hinted that he is In entire sympathy with the teachers, and will support their demands.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
Body Of Duck Phillips, ColOred, Found
in Woods Near Marston. Coroner's
Inquest

Coroner A. M. Smith held an
inquest Monday morning mid
way between Marston and Hof-
man, over the body of Duck
Phillips, a colored man of Hamlet.
The members of the jury were
c. H. league, w. E. Gardner,
John Henderson, S. E. league,
!. NJ. Davis and w. H. Kinks.
Their verdict was that the de.
ceased came to his death from a
pistol shot at the hands of un-
known party or parties.
The body Of the negro, who
was about 30 years old, was found
in the woods, about a hundred
yards from the Marston-Hoffman,
in a decomposed condition. He
was lying on his back, and it was
evident that the body had been
dragged from the public road.
He must have been alive when
dragged to the spot, for the
ground was disturbed where his
left foot moved. There was no
money on his person. The ball
entered the chest from the front,
and lodged in the body.
The negro was in the employ
of Mr.. Sharpe, livery and auto
man of Hamlet. He took a Ford
out Friday night and that
was the last seen of him until his
body was found. No trace of the
car has been found. 1t was pre-
sumed he was held up on the
road, shot, the body dragged tc
the woods and the murderer stole
the car.
