Chester Manley is
Dismissed by Mayor

Mayor Conaway's first police case
consisted in clearing up the charges
which were made against some East
side boys accused by Sanford C. Nor
ris with raiding a melon patch. At
the regular hour for police court,
none of the three boys accused ap-
peared. Later in the usy chester
Morley turned up and as the organi-
zation Of the government had been
effected in the meantime the New
mayor took up the case.
Young Morley protested that he
had not been in the melon patch and
had only been implicated in the af-
foir because two other lads explained
their presence there by saying they
were hunting for him, Later they
admitted that they had not seen Nor
ley and had not been hunting him.
t"ia Conway after listening to
Money's story dismissed him.

.ABNIT GOAL OARS
ARE IN BAD REPAR
More Light Thrown Upon
Fuel Transportation at
Senate Inqirye

WASHINGTON, Sept. S-Represer-
tatives of the National Coal Associa-
ton resumed their testimony yestei7
day before the senate coal inyestigats
ing committee. They reiterated that
the threatened coal shortage this Win
ter was due largely to shortage o.
railroad cars while representatives OK
the railroad administration told the
committee that although the EQUIP i
ment was in bad shape as result q
the unusual demand on the ratleoaus
during the war the railroads would
transport all the coal required this
winter. Director General Hines y
expected to appear before, the COM
mittee this week.
]. d. A. Morrow, vice president OF
the National Coal Association declar-
ed there had been no general increase
in prices at the mines during recent
months which could not be explained
BY increased demand and decreased
supply caused chiefly by a shortage
of cars He explained that the mar
ket for labor was made so uncertain
by the scarcity Of cars that in many
cases the employers, being unable to
hold men through periods Of idleness,
were paying bonuses to get them
when needed.
Senator Frelinghuysen, Republican,
New Jersey. told the committee hel
would submit a number of complaints
about prices which reached him and
would call on wholesale and retail
coal dealers to appear.
John Callahan, traffic chief OF the
coall association, presented several
hundred kilograms which he said,
showed a car shortage in practically
every bituminous coal district with in
dications of an increasing shortage
from week to week. Hundreds OF cars
filled with Stag and other refuse, Mr.,
Callahan added, were permitted to
stand for weeks at a time on sidlngs.
Frank McManamy, assistant direc-
tor of operations Of the railroad ad-
ministratlon, said the number Of cars i
now in bad order was due largely to
the unusual demands that had been
made on equipment during the war
but repair work had been rushed
since early in July. Prospects were
good for early alienation, he explain
ed although the repair work was de-
layed two weeks in August by strikes. :,
A. G. Guthein of the car service
section of the railroad administra-
ton, after asserting that the railroads
would transport all the coal required
this winter, he suggested as the rail-
roads had not recovered entirely
from the effects Of war, that coal OPP
orators restore their pools at tide
water and the lakes, resume war
time demurrage and use water trans
portation more extensively.

The difficulty encountered by the
