ALLEGED "PEEPINa TOM"
Man Caught at Rochester Pleaded
Not Guilty To Charge

Rochester, August 21.-After fin
ishing detective tale, clicking of the
lights and raising the curtain pre-
paratory to going to bed, young
woman staying at the Park hotel,
112 First avenue Sc, found herself
Icing a situation as dramatic as the
book she had been reading, accord
ing to information furnished by the
police.
AS she raised the curtain, a mans
face, dark and brooding, peered in at
her. One large hairy hand clutched
the sill Of the window which entered
into her bed room and in that hand
med an evil looking knife.
With q SCrc.t-A Ok terror she pulled
own the shade to shut out that lace
and ran into the naII. Police arriving
at the Park hotel few moments la
-er found and arrested Joseph
Schiltz on a charge of disorderly
conduct, taking from him a knife.
Yesterday before Judge Richard
Manahan, Walter E. Newsome, chief
of the Rochester police department,
told of the "Peeping Tom," who had
aroused the occupants of the Park
hotel, hanging around there for
nearly an hour and appearing in q
weird manner at bedroom windows.
When he had finished the man who
ave his name as Joseph Schiltz
pleaded not guilty to the charge of
4Isorderly conduct and his trial was
set for today.
The entire patronage Of the Park
hotel was aroused after a prowler
appearing suddenly at the bed room
windows and disturbed their slum-
bers.- The man, it is reported, would
scale the side of the building like
yome nimble cat and press his face
to the screens of the various rooms.
He was described in frantic calls
to the police over the phone as hav-
ing the countenance of a Bull
Montana" He said nothing as he
looked into the rooms but in his
hand he carried a knife and when
he saw somebody he would make a
peculiar kissing noise in his throat.
The Park hotel by the time the
young woman rushed into the hall
was already thoroughly aroused and
the hurry up call was sent to the
police. The officers arrested the man
"Schlitz," shortly afterward, whom
they report was In the act of trying
to get near one Of the windows Of
the hotel Schiltz states he was try
ing to get down into Mayo Park when
the officers caught him.

Washington, D. c. August %
Protectiol of the public against a
shortage of heating fuel next win
ter b. insuring an adequate distri-
button OF hard coal substitutes in
case OF a up in the anthracite
fields was the uppermost concern
Today Of the government.
All aspects OF the situation were
being closely studied by officials as
plans went forward for the confer
ence in New York next Tuesday to
which the governors of all the prin-
cipal anthracite consuming states
we're invited 0y F. R Wadleigh.
federal fuel distributor, yesterday to
send representatives to assist in
formulating an emergency distribu-
ting system.
The invitation for a conference
with Representatives of the inter
state commerce commission and the
principal eastern railroads to con-
slider tentative plans for the insti-
tuition Of central distributing agen-
cies in each state, with supervisory
headquarters in Washington, went
to the executives OF eleven states,
the New England group and those
along the middle Atlantic seaboard.
1t was dispatched after confer
ences during the day between
President Coolidge and heads of the
government agencies concerned.
Will Urge Use Substitutes
In addition to considering the
tentative scheme Of distribution al
ready worked out by Mr.. Wadleigh,
the New York conference, the gov
errors were informed, will endea-
yor to evolve practical plans for in
structing the public in the use OF
substitute fuels for anthracite. This
was seen to be in line with the
view held by the administration
from the first that the public itself
by turning to substitute fuels, could
exert strong pressure on any strike
situation that developed.
While hope still survived in ad
ministration circles that the an
thracite miners and operators would
find a way to avert a tie-up OF the
mines on September 1, there was no
indication today Of any intention to
further government Intervention In
the situation at this time.
