None of the tens of thousands of men who have donned and who are donning uniforms from Pennsylvania Is entitled to vote at the primary election. In order to vote at the general election they must be reijlstcred by s gpeclal commission, which body, under the laws of the Commonwealth, will also count their ballots. The votes of fully 35,000 Phlladelphlans will have to be cast under the supervision cf the commission for the r.ow offices, judgeships and councllmanic vacancies that ore to be filled on November 6.

PKI1CST DKSPAIKS V WAKD Additional light on the via of pol tie ii w.irfatc which Is being wged in thu Klftli Ward, long known as "the Bloody Angle' has been given by the Kc. Dr. Daniel I McDermott, pastor of St. Maty's C.itholl" Chureh, Fourth and Spruce street". Father McDermott has lived In the ward for thirtj two jears, and from his familiarity with Its political history commented on tho cry now raised by tho Carey faction that the police aro being used to demoralize the oters. Recalling the ttU of a man named Prcm Inger, who In 1009 conducted a house In He.enth Htrect below Spruce, Father Mc Dermott said that as a member of the board of managers of St. Joseph's Female Or phan:,' Asylum, which was directly opposite the house, ho had testified to the disgraceful Fcencs which were enacted In the Prcmlngci house. Ho repeated the comment lie bad made on tho trial at that time when he said . "Premlngcr became a witness in his own behalf and snoio that each and ciery alle gation made by the witness against lilin and his house were false James Carey did likewise Mr. Carey was very prominent In court, rushing from counsel to his wit nesses, eildentlj to coach them in contra dicting the witnesses for tho prosecution.

This was not all to stigmatize Jnmes Caiey as a tmboritcr of perjuiy and his witnesses as perlurcr. When asked what ho had to say before sentence was pronounced, the defendant admitted that he had kept a dlsieputable house and thereby confessed that he had perjured himself while testlfjlng, and nn.ilgued In the presence of the court all his witnesses as perjurers and James Caiey as a sub orner of perjuiy. Caiej could not havo stiucl. a deadlier blow at tho administra tion of juptlee. Whose property, reputa tion or life could be safe If a waul boss with brazen effrontery can paiaile fortv or sixty perjurers In u court of Justice? The accused was useful to the Organi zation because ho helped to swell their fraudulent majorities : therefore he must be paled fiom all penalties for his other ci lines.

I ifth Ftreet and Allegheny avenue, Mr Wolf, with teats running down his chcl;s, raid that the charges had been Instigated h; the Vare leaders In the ward. He said, "If any man dares to bring the charge that I am not an American to my face, I'll tako my chances with him." Mr. Wolf for many years has been a leading real estate man of North Philadel phia. Ho was born In Germany almost sixty years ago. Ono of his rons has been summoned to Camp Meade in the draft service. Fui ther aili ue for Philadelphia!!!, on the eoal situation has liien received from Dr. lluuy A. Gat field, National Coal Adminis trator in Washington. Philadelphia!! eertalnl.v should not buy pny coal that they do not need absolutely for tho noM few weeks nt least. Doctor Garfield raid Pi Ices will be lowcicd on the first of October, he announced. Prominent coal dealers in this city ic fuscd to make any comment on the state ment of Doctor Gat field that e-oal v.ill be for salo at lower rates next month. "If wo can get the coal from the mines i heaper, it is n certainty that the con sumer will get cheaper prlce," said one wholesalo coal dealer. Doctor Gai field Issued a warning against a eoal panic. He said: "Tho people should bear in mind that I will confer with the Piosldent as soon ns he gets luck to Washington about the high piie'3 of coal. I still say that the consumers will get their coal net month at a reduced and reasonable figure. There is no need of plunging headlong Into this problem, for It will bo worked out satisfactorily. "I want to say at this time that I am not attail.ing tho dealers. All I ask on their part Is fair play to the public, and I will see that they get fair play In return. Ry tho til st of net month everything will be ar ranged and all our plans will bo In opera tion. I again say that coat nrlccs wilt bo levvered to a icasouable figuic to the con sumer and there will be enough of It to go aiound. "Consumers must not, however, become fcollsh about tho pi.jstnt ultuatlon. If they keep their heads, everj thing will come all llRht. I glvo assurance of this. They should buv coal this month. If the need It. Of course, they should get It as cheap as they can. But thev should not, however, buy more than they need. I am quoted as saying that I advise peoplo not to buy coat at exorbitant figures. J did not say that. I said they should buy only as much coal as thoy actually need at this time and trust to the Government to assure thorn of their fut'iro supplies at reasonable rates. "A panic over coal will lead to con ditions similar to those In Germany at tho beginning of the war. Americans made a rush to get out of Germany. They paid high prices to travel and wont to great Inconvenience and discomfiture to get away. Those who kept cool were sent away in good time. They traveled In special cars provided for them, and everything went along smoothly, There was a panic then. "L'nduo haste and alarm swayed many people. There was no occasion for It, nor Is there any reason for apprehension or fear over the coal situation. Everything will come out all right. Things will be WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. Labor todaj loomed up as tho most vex ing problem in the coal situation. Dr. Harry A. Garfield, coal administrator, found him self taco to fare with a labor situation which threatens to tie up the coal Industry In the United States. Retail prices seem to be In a fair way toward settlement. Distribution Is u prob lem which can be met by whipping the tallroads in'o lino. Production can bo forced If necessary by governmental com mandeering of mines. Labor alone stands as the one factor which tho Government cannot whip Into line men cannot bo made to work. AVhethcr the situation will reach a crisis none of tho ofllclals In the coal nd mlnlstratlou would say, although they ad mit that the labor situation is a "vexing pioblem." Middle western miners have presented demands to the eoal administration. Ken tucky miners to the extent of somo ICOOft already aro on strike. In other coal fields there Is a gieat unrest and a tendency tiwnrd making large demands for In creased wages. Doctor Garfield has turned the problem very largely over to John P. White, presi dent of the Flitted Mine Workers of Amer ica. Mr. White, as a representative of tho miners and a member of the coal adminis tration, will attempt to appease the pro testing parties Miners have already placed their case before Mr. White and have made demands for Increases in wages to "meet the rising living costs." As a representative of the mine workers Av'hlte knows the situa tion in the Individual fields, and It Is hoped that he will be nble to reach an amicable settlement of wage disputes, so that Amer ica's coal supply will not be hampered. Hmplojcrs havo made demands upon the Government. U is generally understood that mine operators havo told Doctor Gar field that the fixed prices are not tnitnolcnt to meet rising demands for wages. They decUie that since the Government has fixed flic price of coal It Is up to the Government to meet tho demands for Increased wages. They ask a subsidy from tho Government or else that the Government pay tin differ ence In wagca on all of Its coal. The labor demands aro steadily being pushed torwaid bj the coal operators as reason for a revision of tho flcd coal prlccH. State coal administrator jet to be named will be asked to Investigate labor conditions and it Is most probable thjit tho situation will not be met until they havo mado a final repoit. At all odds the coal administration Is de termined to produce coal at a1 reasonable price. Uvery Instrument of the Govern ment will bo used to this ond : but labor presents a factor which cannot bo forced by Government action. smile;!
