FORGERY SUSPECT HELD
Man Arrested at Willow Grove
Taken to Eastons

Believed to have conducted an exten-
sive system of worthless check passing
during the past year in New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and New
Jersey. E. f. Matson, twenty eight

ated, and he has several times boasted
of the fact that he is graduate of
large eastern university. He refuses to
tell where his home is.
When arrested fifty-siq check books

Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are called
on by Director Kfusen, of the Depart

example to the other children of the
city for safe and sane Fourth of July.
Pointing out that patriotism is rot

Us dangerous the use by children of
explosives, toy pistols, fire balloons,
sparklers, roman candles, snakes and
other Illuminating fireworks. Continu-
ing, he says: ..... ...
More especially this year, the year
of victory, wifi it's rejuvenated spirit
of independence and freedom Of the
world, there may be a tendency to re
turn to the thoughtless, childish and
frivolous display of patriotism by the
use of explosives. Let us anticipate
with sound mind and Judgment the
awful catastrophies which might result
especially among the children-our flu
ture citizens-if we, for one moment
relax the stringency of our laws against
the use of dangerous explosives. One
need only recall the past to remind us
of the burned fingers. the powder
marked faces, the loss of eyes, the loss
of limbs, the deaths from tetanus ant
the loss of life among little girls by
burns caused by the so called harmless
sparklers. BY all means let us use goot
discretion in the celebration of this

of expressing our feeling of patriotism
and our joy Of victory without the ust

commenting on the reported fighting on
the border between the Villistas and the
American troops.
"Such uprisings of bandits occur at
intervals and have no political signifi
cance,' said Doctor Pellicer. villa s

RISE IN PHONE RATE
EEFFECTNE TODAY
Additional Charges for Bell
Service Will Be Made on
Bills Rendered July I
OUTRAGE, SAYS SCHAFFER

An increase of 20 per cent in tele-
phone rates of the Bell Company went
into effect in Pennsylvania today.
The advance in cost of service will
effect all business establishments and
householders. Pay station rates for city
calls will not be increased.
. The increase in cost of telephone serv-
ice follows an order made by Postmas-
ter General Burleson. An attempt to
prevent the advance in telephone rates
In Pennsylvania was made by Attorney
General William 1. Schaffer, but the
Supreme Court of the United States
rendered a decision upholding the ac-
tion of the postmaster general.
Ask Penrose to Aid
Mr.. Schaffer has asked Senators Pen
rose and Knox to take up the fight in
Congress to see whether the postmaster
general has the right to arbitrarily in
crease the phone rates without obtain
ing the sanction of the Pennsylvania
Public Service Commission.
81 regard the new schedule as nothing
short of an outrage" said Mr.. Schaffe:
today. "In my opinion the postmaster
general is merely trying to make the
public pay for the ineficiency Of the
governmental operation of the tele-
phones"
The attorney general has also ex-
pressed the opinion that, despite clauses
In contracts which call for subscribers
paying for the cost of disconnectinl
the telephones, should they care to have
them taken out, they can make the tele
phone companies bear this expense.
As it stands today it is a question
whether or not subscribers care to put
up with the inconvenience of doing
without the telephone connection or not
If they choose to dispense with thu
phone, the attorney general is of th'
opinion that all they will have to do il
to let the telephone company know thi
and let it go ahead and remove the in
strument.
On July Bills
The additional charge for telephone
service will be made on bills rendered

Under the new rate the cost of call
to many nearby places has been doubled
As an illustration, the rate betweel
Philadelphia and Chester has been in
creased from ten to twenty cents.

vance in rates on the Keystone lines, al
