GERMAN ships
DUE This week
Four of Five AllOcated to United
States We're In Thick of
Fighting at Jutland.

Washington, Aug -Four of the
five German warships allocated to the
United States for experimental pur-
poses were in the thick of the fighting
at the battle of Jutland, according to
naval intelligence records here. The
vessels are due at New York from
Brest, France, this week and under a
clause of the peace treaty they must
be destroyed within one year after
their arrival
The light cruiser Frankfurt now a
wreck in machinery and being towed
to the United States by the transport
Hancock, was the first ship in the Ger
man bottle line when it collided with
the British grand fleet, while the
%, ,000- ton dreadnaught Ostfriesland
was ne ninth ship in the line, imme-
diately in the rear of the flagship of
the German commander-in-c -chief, Ad-
miral Scheer.
OF the three destroyers all of which
are being tewed over as a result of
their submersion with the German
fleet at Scapa Flow, the G-102 and the
y-43 were in the forefront of the fight
ing throughout the Jutland engage
ment.
Leading a division of four scout
cruisers that bore the brunt of the
British fire at the opening of the en-
gagement, the Frankfurt, flagship of
Rear Admiral Brodicker, was hit four
times. but with a small calibre shell
in each instance and stayed in the
fight to the finish. The third cruiser
behind her was sunk at the opening
of the engagement The Frankfurt,
which has a speed of % knots, is be-
lieved to have participated also in
raids on the British coast
Although she was well up in line and
her Pinch guns worked throughout
contact with the British fleet, the
dreadnaught Ostfriesland, flagship OF
vice Admiral Schmidt, commanding
battle squadron No. 1, escaped with
out a major blow, so far as naval rec
ords here disclose, but was damaged
later by hitting a mine during the
withdrawal to Wilhelmshaven.
One of the two destroyers, the
G-1o2. was with the scouting forces,
close to the Frankfurt, at the opening
of the battle. She took part IN the
destroyer attack on the British battle
cruiser divisions at 4.30 p. m, and
later in the general engagement with
British destroyers sent out to cover
the battle cruisers. The V-43 also
was in the thick of the fight and was
included in the flotilla that launched
the destroyer attack under cover of
which the German fleet began its
withdrawal. The third destroyer in

Helped
Get Wagon Up Hill

Juite little excitement was fur
nished residents on Quincy street near
Madison on the car tracks this morn
ing about 80 when a wagon of lum
ber drawn by two horses could not
get pa. slight icy slope at this loca-.
ton. The horses fell several times
reaching Madison and Quincy street
coming from Main and failed TO MAXI
much headway up the slippery hill. A
motor truck tried coming to the, res
cue and the wagon hitched on behind
this truck and the trick signalled all
speed ahead. The wheels, of the truck
went round and round but nothing in
the way of progress happened. The
way out OF the predicament was FUR
nished by the Bellview car which came
up behind the lumber wagon giving 1t
a good sized boost from the rear. 1t
wasn't but moment until the truck
started and the lumber wagon came

Judge Lowe Made Sentence
Light and Gave Lad
Some Good Advice.
THREE YEARS TOR GARTER.
At That the Judge Felt That
He Was Being
Lenient.

y
Three cases were disposed of and
one set for jury trial by Judge Lowe
in the Criminal court this morning.
James Doyle, arrested by county
officers Saturday night after having
peen indicted by the grand jury last
week, entered a plea of not guilty to
three Indictments OF robbery and trial
was set for January 26. Doyle is rep
resented by Attorney E. B. Garskadon.
William Taylor was sentenced to
serve ninety days on the county
roads at the discretion OF the shsr-
iff, and to pay fine of one hundred
dollars, for a violation of the prohi-
bition law. Taylor was arrested at
Monongah yesterday by Deputy Sher-
'df Howard Adams where he was
Working.
According to Prosecuting Attorney
'iaggerty, Taylor is an old offender
tho has been operating by leaving
Pittsburgh trains at a suburb and
/,dst escaped being caught some time
!, Ago by jumping off the train after a
fight with a deputy sherfff. Taylor
has pair of broad shoulders tnat
are an Indication of ability not only
to put up stiff fight but to engage
in more useful occupation than the
one in which he has been active OF
late.
A strong plea to the prisoner to go
straight in the future was made by
Judge Lowe to James Miller when
the latter was sentenced to a year in
the penitentiarY the minimum under
the law. The Judge expressed the
deepest sympathy with the boy who
H. AId 10 a.,
thinks he may be about nineteen, pu,
could mo- do otherwise than impose
the sentence in view of the prison.
I er's confession. Running away at
! the age of nine from the home of an
uncle whe had taken him at the death
of his mother when he was four years
old, growing up without any educa-
ton, but always working until he got
mixed up with gang of older heads
who got him to keep some stolen
property and then induced him to Join
1em, this boy told kte story in a
straightforward way to the Judge.
Judge Lowe expressed the opinion that
the boy is not an intentional Grim
inal, and gave him some very wnoie-
some advice about the kind of asso-
ciates to form while in prison.
Miller had been with a gang of rob
bers only a few days when an attempt
was made to rob a store using Miller
as a lookout. One of the gang was
shot and slkilled by the owner OF the
store. and ldiller fled to Martinsburg
where heswas located and arrested
Saturday.
lNaking money belonging to another
was bad enough but imposing on a
sick nSn who had befriended him was
worse said the judge in sentencing

itentiary for three years for stealing

TALKS
ABOUT COAL PRICE
Has No knowledge That
Operators Have Added
Fourteen Per Cent.
LRy Associated press1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Attor-
ney General Palmer said today that
he had received no information that
bituminous coal operators had added
to the price of coal the IA per cent
wage increase to miners authorized
by President Wilson pending final
settlement of the wage controversy.
ut is true" said Mr.. Palmer, that
in some sections of the country lar
ger price is being charged for coal
than that fixed by the. Fuel admins
tration. This makes it appear as if
the operator had; added the IA per
cent increase in wages to the price Of
coal.
"Taht the price is greater than the
Fuel administration price is caused
by the fact that the operators allege
that the coal was bought on contract
beofre October 81. 1919, which con-
tract coal was expressly excepted
from the government price by an or
der issued by DR.. Garfield on Novem-
ber 12."
