Whisky!

A number of cases We're dis
posed of by Mayor Keister in po-
lice court this afternoon. Whisky
was the cause of the downfall of
all the S1iscreants brought before
His Honor.
Mrs. Elizabeth Stouffer, who
was arrested in North Third
street last night on the charge of
begging in the streets for the pur-
pose of satisfying her. craze for
whisky, was among the persons
listed for trial. Mary Astrich,
South Ninth street, was charged
with drunkenness, having been
found ON the Walnut street bridge
last night in Il terribly intoxi-
Gated condition.
Whisky proved the downfall of
three others who received SEN
tences IN to-day's session. Fen
ton Snowden, Pete Raglan and
Joe Renel, we'll known to the po-
lice, were charged with larceny.
They unlocked the outside cellar
door of John Elscheid's hotel,
police say, and made away with a
case of whisky. They were start
ing to appropriate the contents
of the case to their own use in an
extended orgy at No. IL Cowden
street, where they live, when
Policeman Schelhas and Detec-
tives Carson and Speese arrested
them.

Grantham Crossing
Called Dangerous

Two complaints against the United
States railroad administration were
entered at the Public Service Com
mission to-day, one raising the ques-
ton of legality of railroad rates for
intrastate traffic filed by orders OF
the director general and the other
against a grade crossing.
The Lehigh Navigation Electric
Company, which operates a number
of electric plants in Eastern Penn
sylvania, entered protest against the
rates for hauling coal within the
State now charged by the Lehigh
and New England Railroad, contend
ing that such rates can be enforced
only by approval of the Public Serv-
ice Commission. This raises a ques-
ton similar to that taken before
the Dauphin county court by At
torney General Schaffer in the tele-
phone rates.
The other complaint attacks the
grade crossing at Grantham, Cum
berland county, being filed by Enos
IT. Hess, who contents that the cross
ing is obscured by a covered rail
road bridge and that the Reading s
tracks approach it through a deep
cut and on a sharp curb. An average
of eighty trains day pass over the
crossing and it is alleged that it is
dangerous and menace to the in
creasing volume of traffic over the
crossing.
Residents of Greensboro asked the
commission to suspend new rates
filed by the Greensboro Gas Com
pany.

In regard to the fifty cents ton
reduction, coal man explained
the situation in the following man
ner:
Before his resignation, DR.. Car
field, Federal fuel administrator, de-
clared that he was in favor of al
lowing the operators to charge an
increase of fifty cents a ton for an
thracite. Therefore, it is my belief
that when they make up what they
call their winter schedule they will
include the advance of fifty cents ID
ton.
ut is customary every spring to
Iop off tlrCy cents q ton from the
winter schedule, usually effective
April /. Each month thereafter the
price is advanced ten cents, until the
winter scheduled is reached, which
would be within five months. The
operators, therefore. before making
their fifty cents reduction this spring,
likely will raise their prices fifty
cents, so that after the spring re-
duction, the price will remain the
same as at present"
Other dealers shared in this view,
while still others said they could
not predict what action the opera
tors will take before April /.
