Revision by |. C. C. Advocated
After Foreign Dealers
Petition for Change.
MARKET HELD LIMITED
BY VARIANCE IN CHARGE
Lehigh Valley and Central Railroad
of New Jersey Would Be At
fected by Proposal.

A recommendation that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission revise
downward the rates on anthracite from
thu Lehigh and Wyoming fields served
b. the Lehigh Valley and the Central
Railroad OF New Jersey, in Pennsylvania
70 Washington and vicinity to bring
them into line with those prevailing
from the Schuylkill fields on the Read
ing line, was made today in report by
Examiner Charles w. Berry.
At present there is a diferential of
roughly So per ton on deliveries here
over the Baltimore a. Ohio, and IL is this
situation for which the report recon-
mends correction. The Pennsylvania
has the advantage of the same rate for
deliveries here from the three fields.
In addition to the rates to Washing
ton and vicinity the report also recon-
mends revision of those to points in
Delaware, Maryland Virginia and West
Virginia.
Market Here Held Limited.
The petitioners were four Pennsyl-
vania ccal concerns and the Baltimore
Coal Exchange. The contention is that
the higher rate limits the market here.
Under the examiners report, JOINT
rate would be afforded by the Reading
line from the Lehigh and Wyoming re-
gions. The report says however, that
several dealers having yards on the Bal
tinlore g. Ohio here testified that no
change was necessary, as the Reading
coal satisfies demands. One dealer, with
yards on both the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore q Ohio, the report said, testi-
fed that he is injured because he cam
not receive this Reading coal and de-
liver it from his yards on the Baltimore
q Ohio. The Reading also protests the
joint rates.
Local Complaint Pending.
The examiner said in his report
"that IL is important TO the consuming
public that access be had to the great
est possible number of mines and impor-
tant to the mines and the carriers
serving them that rates be adjusted
so as to permit competition in all
reasonably accessible markets on an
equitable basis"
GOAL dealers in this area already have
a complaint before the commission al
leging that rates from the anthracite
fields to washington are unreasonable
and asking for revision and for repara-
ton. This case has been set for hear
ing for next month.

Three Suspects in HoId-upS
Tell Officers "You Can't
Do Anything to U.s."
ATTEMPT TO QUESTION
TRIO PROVES FUTILE
Arsenal Is Found in Room at Hotel
and One Man Is Identified as
Stolen Check Passer.

Openly defiant, three gangsters, who
were arrested Saturday with an ar
senal Of guns, ammunition and
burglars tools, are baking the eff
forts of detectives to question them In
connection with the bank robbery at
hold-ups, 1t was declared by police to-
day.
You guys are just a bunch Of cop
pers. You can't do anything to US"
they mockingly declared when detective
lined them up before nearly a score Of
hold-up victims in an effort to connect
the trio with recent robberies in this
city.
The men, who were arrested by De-
tective Sergts. Joseph Waldron and
Thomas Sweeney near Fifteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue late Saturday,
were booked as william Martin Tierney,
81 years old; Albert Joseph Curley. "a,
and Percy Michael Fitzgerald, SO, all of
st. Louis.
Suspects Mock Police.
All three men have police records. de-
tectives say, while Fitzgerald has been
identified as a member of the notorious
ST Louis gang known as 'Egan's Rats"
During the futile attempt to question
them the three men mentioned the re-
cent third-degree probe by Department
of Justice agents and the grand Jury
and laughingly told detectives that we
are not going to tell you anything, and
you can't do anything about 1t. We
know the situation in Washington, and
you guys are afraid to use the strong
arm stuff any longer"
Capt. Edward J. Kelly assistant chief
of detectives, handed one Of the men a
pair of glasses and told him to put them
on. hoping to afford one Of the hold-up
victims robbed recently by a gunman
wearing glasses an opportunity to see
the man with spectacles on.
DO you mean me?" the man asked
Kelly Huh! don't have to put them
on, don't have to do anything for
you"
Arsenal Found in Hotel
A search Of the mems room in a
downtown hotel made shortly after their
arrest disclosed three pistols, q saved
off shot gun, ammunition for the
weapons and kit of tools of the type
used by professional safecrackers. A
high-powered roadster of the same make
and answering the description Of the
car used by the robbers in the Kansas
bank job, was found in a garage on
New York avenue, where the men had
left it a short time before their appre-
henSion.
In the loot taken from the bank was

fed as the man who cashed a travellers
check for $50 at local hotel, accord
ing to Patrick j. Lynch, an express
company detective, who is tracing the
stolen checks:
Fingerprints and photographs of the
men are being mailed to police through
out the country in an effort to deter
mine if they are wanted, The trio
probably will be charged with vagrancy
here if they are not wanted in other
cities. detectives said.

year. They played heady brand
Of ball and deserved to win.
Neither team was able to score
until the fourth inning when the
visitors, after two were down,
scored on a fielder's choice, a stol-
en- base and a hit. In the fifth
frame they added another run
when Nutting was safe with a two
Dagger Larson followed with a hit
that scored Nutting. In the sixth
another score was added on an
error, a stolen base and fielder's
choice. One more run was added in
the ninth, when Nutting got his
second hit of the game and scored
on an error by Soltau.
The locals had only one chance
to score when Soltau was safe on a
hit and went to second on a passed
ball. He was the only local man to
reach second.
The members Of the Pequot
team did some wonderful fielding
and both pitchers did effective
work. Neither Of the moundsmen
walked a man or hit a batter dur
ing the siesta.
