BROTHERS HELD
Two Arrested Here Said to Be
illegally Wearing Officers
Uniforms.

Alleged to have played on the
sympathy Of the American public
by pointing to their army officers
uniforms and many medals which
had been conspicuously displayed on
their chests, Charles Starnes, twen-
ty-four years old, and, Arthur A.
Starnes, thirty-five. brothers, OF
Texas, were arrested last night by
agents of the Department OF Jus
tice and Detective Sergeant Arthur
3. Scrivener on the charge Of trans
porting a stolen automobile from
one State to another. They were ar
rested in a downtown hotel.
It Is charged that the men stole
an automobile in Dallas, Tex, and
sold II in Missouri They were given
a hearing today before United
States Commissioner Hit.
When William J. Burns, chief of
the investigation division of the De
partment of Justice. several months
ago heard of the activities Of two
men, supposed to be the Starnes. he
notified every agent in the nation
to be on the lookout for them. They
were trailed to several States and
were finally located here. Before
the legal proceedings could have
been accomplished they left. Thev
returned here a few days ago and
were located at the hostelry. When
pressed for their bills at the hotel,
1t Is alleged, they would point to
their uniforms and medals with the
object Of gaining sympathy.
Both men were taken to the First
precinct and were held in $1,000
bond.
Arthur Starnes In said to have
been an aviator in France during the
war, while his brother was a seaman.
A charge OF violating the national
defense act may be preferred against
them for unlawful wearing of army
officers uniforms.

WOMEN ) VOTE
AND LABOR WILL
DECIDE IN OHIO
Harding's Home State Has
Nine Republican Candidates
For Governor.
BY WILLIAM j. HUSKE,
international News Service.

CLEVELAND, Aug. s. - Labor,
restive and sullen. and the woman
vote. an unknown quantity. are the
chief factors, as voters OF both par
ties prepare to nominate candidates
for United States Senator and gov
ernor in the primaries in President
Hardings home State, Tuesday.
The attitude OF these two elements.
1t is conceded, will largely determine
the makeup Of the tickets. but thus
far there has been no indication that
they will vote as unit for any can
didate. The immense field entered
for the Republican nomination for
governor, for which there are nine
candidates, and divisions along other
lines, have prevented solidification
of this vote, although the union Ia
Dor vote in the contests for the Sen.
atorship will be cast against Senator
Atlee Pomerene and Congressman
Simeon d. Fess, political observers
say. 1t is not believed. however,
that labor can defeat either leglsla'
tor. and all prophets unite in pre-
dieting their nomination.
Appeals to union labor to defeat
Senator Pomerene and Congressman
Fess were mailed out from head.
quarters Of three of the big Four"
railroad brotherhoods here today.
Support was asked for John ]. Lentz
as against Pomerene and for former
Senator Dick as against Fess.
THE election OF Fess would be
little more of a calamity than the
choice of Pomerene," it was de-
clared.
AS to the governorship, however,
it is claimed that the effect Of the
coal and rail strikes has been to
align the labor element pretty
strongly against Col. Carmi A.
Thompson, with every other active
candidate falling heir to some of this
support. Thompson. a Cleveland
business man, is making his cam
paign upon support of the Admins
tration OF President Harding and a
promise to use business methods in
conducting the affairs of state.
In addition to Thompson, these
Republicans are seeking the nomina-
ton for the governorship next Tues
day: Congressman Charles l.. Knight
Of Akron: Secretary of State Harvey
G. Smith, of Columbus; State Sena-

suit.

FUEL DIRECTOR
G|VESRULEFOR
OBTAINING COAL
Machinery to Prevent Profit
eering Working "95 Per
Cent Efficiently"
BY International News Service.

General instructions to the gov.
ernors Of States as to methods of
procedure In obtaining coal through
the Federal coal administration were
issued today by Henry B. Spencer,
the Federal fuel distributor.
At the same time, it was an
nounced by Secretary OF Commerce
Hoover that the Federal machinery
for prevention of profiteering at the
mines "is operating 95 per cent ef-
ficiently." Profiteering in resales In
the various States cannot be con-
trolled by the Federal Government,
Hoover said, this problem being
strictly one for the governors.
Spencer's instruction to the gov.
ernors, in the form Of a letter, con-
tanned samples of the various forms
on which coal acquisitions should be
made, said:
1T will be seen that the Federal
Fuel distributor will not Except for
common carriers and Departments
of the United States Government
act upon applications make by con.
sumers or dealers directly to him,
but will refer applicant to his State
Fuel Committee, to the end that II
his need Is essential and the np.
plicant must have emergency coal
which he cannot obtain from sources
within his State, your committee
may then make application to the
Federal fuel distributor on form
so.
Governors committees are re.
quested to apply for coal produced
in other States only through the
Federal fuel distributor at Wash
ington, and not to order coal from
Federal fuel committees nor pro,
ducers outside their own States.
There is no anthracite coal avail.
able for distribution by the Federal
fuel distributor.
Application for emergency coal
to the Federal fuel distributor
should be made only for current use
and not for storage.
Application for emergency coal
should be made only for the most
essential purposes following the
priority classes established by the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
Service Order No. 20, copy attached.
Emergency coal supplied on these
applications made to the Federal
fuel distributor will be placed I.
o. b. railway cars at the mines at
the fair prices approved for the pro
ducing district by Secretary Hoover,
"lt will be the endeavor OF the
Federal fuel distributor to place
orders for emergency coal in those
districts from which the supply is
most available to the applicants"
The instructions were sent to the
governors of thirty.nine States. the
other nine being able to handle
Il cir respective situations without
recourse to the Federal Government
It was said. These States ere Ari
zona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New
Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming.
