Philadelphia retail coal dealers who are charging cxrestlve rates may have to re fund excessive profits to consumers after the prlco has been llxed by tho Govern ment nfter October 1 Dr Harry A Garfield, national fuel ad ministrator, It was said In Washington, probably will placo such an Interpretation upon tho Pomercno nmendment to the food control act, nnd selzo upon tho refund basis ns one meatu of solving tho problem caused by tho dealers standing "pat " It has been made quite clear that the Government will go the limit to bring the prlco boosters to book, and this can be mid to bo particularly true of tho Federal Trade Commission, which has been engaged In a eerles of Investigations In tho cities of tho country, the report of which was mado public two dajs ngo. In other cities, where similar survejs aro being conducted, conditions nro said to be as bad, and In some cases worso At the same time, it Is learned that re tailers may expect another Jolt at the hands of the Tederal Trade Commission next week. What form this villi tako was not made known, but something Is coming that Is expected to make them sit up and take notlco It Is believed If the refund Is decided upon to compol retailers to do business fairly until the Government finally puts a retail prlco on coal, that the right of a consumer to claim a refund would date from the time tho President fixed tho prlco on coal at tho mines. Doctor Garfield Is probably the busiest man In Washington Just now. His offices aro literally besieged from morning until right by coal operators, chiefly from the bituminous fields, appealing for the right to charge a higher prlco on the ground that unless they got It they will havo to quit buslmss. These operators come from every section of tho country. .WANT NO NEGROES IN FIRST DRAFT Provost Marshal Eliminates Them From First 45 Per Cent Called SHARPLY CRITICIZE ORDER No negroes aro to be Included within the quotas now being called out by tho provost marshal general to go to the training camps This last order has so cut down the avallablo certified soldiers In somo of tho local draft districts, whero tho negroes constitute 60 per cent of tho total draft quota, that all of tho white men in those sections will bo called In this first, detnll, and then the full proportion ot 45 per cent will not be supplied. Elimination of negroes who qualified In the draft In tho Twenty-third district be came known today through a telegram which reached tho members of that board Tho telegram, dated Harrlsburg, came from tho ofllco of the Adjutant General. No explanation was given why no negroes wero wanted In tho first forty five per cent quota of tho Twenty-third District. B. Gordon Bromley, former chairman of the Democratic City Ccmmtttce, who is clerk of tho Twentv-thlrd local board, to day criticized tho telegram. ' This Is damnable," said Mr. Bromley. "Slnco last May when I became connected with the board wo havo received orders, orders that later wero countermanded, new orders which later were changed or sup plemented. "I don't se why the negroes should, stay at home at this time Many of them want to go. Negroes ni d whtto men took tho same chanco In the draft and now that element of chance Is being removed and the white men havo to go.. At present we don't know when wo will havo to send tho negroes.

Ishll then paid a warm tribute to the late American Ambassador to Japan, George Guthrie, and expressed his pleas ure at tho appointment of another Penn sylvanlan. . . , ' , ' In response, Mr. Morris expressed his sat Isfactlon at being able to be present in Philadelphia to help receive the representa tives of the nation to whose country ho Is on tho evo of departure. "My hopo Is," he said In part, "that tho bond between the two nations made by the world war wilt develop a mutual under standing and knit us closer even thnn tho Industrial enterprises of peace have. I pledge the best efforts of which I am capable " Mr. Trigg, who presided, told the visitors with pride of Philadelphia's other name, the "Workshop of tho World," and ex pressed the hopo that nfter tho war tho bonds of peace and commerce would bind still tighter the tie between the two countries Other speakers were Fridtjof Nansen, minister plenipotentiary from Norway, nnd the Japanese Ambassador to tho united States, Mr, Sato. CORDIAL PUBLIC WELCOME Despite tho persistent rain, a three-deep crowd turned out along tho line of tho procession which led down Chestnut street. If the Joyous exuberance of the creating that marked the coming of Joffre nnd Vlvlant was absent, it was perhaps be cause the Impassivity and solemnity of the Japanese bearing seemed to call for a similar return. But "ICImlgayo," the Japanese national anthem, with Its minor haunting notes caught tho spectators and made tho hats fly off. Ishll, the white of his mustache In vldld contrast to tho leathern Immobility of his face and the Intense black of his short bristling hair, responded to the welcomes extended by the Mayor and Mr. Morris In English which wns fluent and compre hensible, If somewhat heavily accented, and when he outlined the purpose of the mis sion In cementing the friendship between tho Mikado's Island empire and tho land of the Stars nnd Stripes his words brought forth a round of applauso from thoso as sembled In Independence Room. JAPAN'S PLEDGE OF LOTALTY. "Tho purpose of my mission wns and Is," ho said nfter felicitating Mr. Morris on his appointment, "to tell ou this and only this that wo stapd with you and will stand with you throughout tho struggle for lib erty and for freedom, and that wo will rejolco with jou when this bell shall ngaln ring tho proclamation of a rlghtoous peaco os It rang 134 ycara ngo "I havo tried to Impress upon you through your representatives In the halls of Congress," he said, "tho fact that In Japan tho true spirit of Individual liberty nnd of freedom for tho nation burns ns brightly aB It does In America. It seems to mo that thers could be no more fitting opportunity than this to assure you that our Ideals and olir hopes run alongside of ours. The whole vorlrt answers tho aum mons to uphold 'freedom' 'and 'liberty' fiom oppression and from wrong Tho force that moved this great bell of yours to sound the nlarm In 1776 Is tho same human force that brings tho call to ua today." AMBASSADOR MORRIS SPEAKS Greeting tho guests, Mr. Morris said that In view of his recent nppolntment tho occa sion was of peculiar Blgnlflcanco to him "Tho men who here declared this people's Independence nnd hero wrought out tho fabric of a moro stablo government had no narrow or no selfish purposes," ho said, addressing Ishll. "Tho notes of tho bell nbovo us which was cast that It might proclaim liberty throughout the world found responsive echo In tho aspirations which they nourished. They wero struggling to realize not rlghtn for themselves, but a heritage for tho world a heritage which should assure for all peoples tho rights which they claimed for themselves the right of Independent national existence, tho right to develop their Institutions as tholr national spirit nnd traditions should dic tate and safe from nggresslvo Interference of ambitious nations. ISHII AN INTERESTING FIGURE Chief Interest In tho mission centers, of course, In Its chairman. Ishll Is another ot the young men that tho war has brought Into prominence. His fluent English to gether with tho reputation that ho Is said deservedly to hold of being nn excellent "mlxcr'ias made him tha Ideal spokes man of an embassy which arrived In tho Unltod States nt a critical period In tho relations of this and the Par East country.
