The TJnlted States began giving away
money today to all patriots. Havo you
made arrangements to get your share?
The Government will give $4 In gold to
nny person who will lend It $100 for a
year. And, of course. It gives your S 100
back, too.
This gift Is made because Undo Sam
began today to reload. Ills guns for a sec
ond big volley direct at the falser. He
wants three billion dollars with which to
purchase even more military strength thin"
ho bought with the two billion dollars he
got by the first Liberty Loan.
The Government looks to the district of
which Philadelphia Is the center to supply
not less than a full tenth of the entire
nation's subscription. To answer this call
every man, woman and child In Philadel
phia ought to lend Uncle Sam not less than
$200, In return Uncle Sam will give J8
for the use 6f each $200 for a year.
BONDS ARE AN INVESTMENT.
Thousands of citizens will not bo able to
Invest Ihls sum, however. That means tlat
If Philadelphia 'Is ttf keep up Its splendid
record of patriotism that began 141 years
ago, with, the ringing of the old Liberty
Bell, every one who can invest mere than
3200 must do so. Their reward will be
if1 dust pa much greater,
1 l "You don't give- the Government one
&j))nny when you buy a Liberty Bond," said
Ik the committee yesterday. .''Your inoney
(KXlcwrieB back to you., with Ji. added to every
. $10IT you Invest."' '"
The response to the nation's' appeal begin
With a- rush In Philadelphia this morning.
V.y 10,000 persons put their names down
' fir amounts ranging from $50 up to $250.-
000. It was idle to guess at the total
amount subscribed. It might have been
$3,000,1)00 or it might haVo been $301000,000.
Wlen the first Issue of Liberty Bonds
was sold, three months ago, an atteriipt was
made to estimate the amount subscribed
during each day of the campaign. These
guesses came so far from the actual fig
ures that great confusion resulted. The
committee In charge of selling the present
issue has therefore decided to make no esti
mates while the campaign is going on.
But the whole city hummed with talk
of the Liberty Loan. Thousands of persons
devoted their time to bringing In pledges.'
BOY SCOUTS ACTIVE
The first report that came In after the
central committee opened Its publicity of
fices In the Lincoln Building at 10 o'clock,
waa from the Boy Scouts, who have been
working to secure subscriptions for the past
several days. George T. Bodlne, chairman
of the Boy Scout Committee reported that
they had already rounded up more than
7S00 subscribers. As each subscribed for a
$50 bond, at the least, tho total was thought
to be In the nehglborhood of $500,000.
The campaign Is being conducted In the
Philadelphia district, which Includes part of
Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and
Delaware, by the Federal Reserve Bank of
the Third District. Six hundred and
twenty-nine national banAs are members of
this Federal Reservo bank. They, to
gether with hundreds of State banks and.
trust companies, not, members of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, were receiving subscrip
tions, simultaneously this morning, so that
It was impossible to say who'brought In the
first subscription.
Th,e first individual subscriber reported
at the Lincoln Building headquarters was J.
xiAndrews Harris, 3d. eighteen-year-old son
of J. Andrews Harris, Jr.. vibe president of
the Franklin. Nat oiial Bank. He bought
two bonds with $100 -he had saved during
vacation time. The patriotic young Amer
ican enters the Wharton School this fall
He lives on. West Chestnut avenue, Chestnut
21111.
The first subscription came In from liar-
rls before the noise of clocks and whistles
announcing 10 o'clock llad ceased,
The largest subscription reported In the
city tbls morning was one for $100,000 by
the Lois & McVitty Leather Company. This
-was surpassed by one for $250,000 by the
Safe Deposit Bank of Pottsvllle. Both
were In before the campaign was an hour
old.

GARFIELD PLAN
TO ADMINISTER
SALES OF COAL
To Name State Fuel Agent
With Plenary
Powers
DISPUTES DEALERS' VIEW
Dr. Harry A. Garfield, national fuel ad
mlnlHtrator. told the 15VENINQ I.ijdgeii over
I the long-distance telephone from Washing
ton this afternoon that before the end of
this week he would appoint a State coal
administrator -who would have Jurisdiction
over the retail coal prices in Pennsylvania.
The Identity of the appolnteo Doctor Gar
field would not divulge.
This State , coat administrator, .Doctor
Garfield explained, in turn, would appoint
local committees, whose duty it would be
to study tho new retail prices fixed by the
dealers as a result of yesterdays order
from Washington and to have an accountant
study the financial reports of the various
dealers to determine whether they were fol
lowing strictly the new order.
If the local committee for Philadelphia
finds that the dealers In this city are fall
ing to follow properly the price revision
which fixes the retaljer's profits to not be
over 30 per cent more than his gross mar
gin of profit In 1915, nor to exceed his
July, 1917, margin, then a new order will
be Issued fixing specific, prices for the va
rious grades and classes of coal.
Doctor Garfield took exception to the
views of a number of Philadelphia dealers
'that the new order will not mean a reduc
tion and that It may even permit an In
crease In price to the ultimate consumer.
He predicted that when the new schedules
have been worked out a definite reduction
to Philadelphia householders will result.
Directly a variance with Doctor Oar
field's views, the opinions gathered from a
number of retail dealers throughout the
city and their advice to the public can be
given as" follows;
Prices will not be reduced; they may
advance. If you want coal or will want
coal buy It now. Don't watt for a lower
price, because a lower price Is extremely
l Improbable and if you watt cold weather
may catch you and you may be unable to
obtain deliveries when your need of coal
Is imperative.
The sixty-cent reduction of pea coal at
the mines may result In a like retail re
duction If the reduction at the mlnei
actually put Into effect, but the retailers
are skeptical about, that
The gross margin allowed retailers by
the Government Is not to exceed 30 per
cent In addition to the gross margin of the
clner year 19J5, and la.net to exceed th

MEETING HIS OWN IDEA
Denies Penrose-McNichol Influ
ence in Call or That He Is
Dominated by Them
State Senator Edwin H. Van's charges
that tho arrest of Mayor Smith and his co
defendants In tho "Bloody Klfth" Ward
murder conspiracy Is" a. political plot en
gineered by the Penrosc-McNIchot forces to
ruin the Muyor and himself were denied to
day by Jiidge Kugeno C. llonnlwell, of the
Municipal Court,.
Specifically giving tho Ii to Senator
Vare's averment that last Thursday's town
meotlng protesting against "government by
murder" was planned two hours after the
killing of Detective Kpplcy, Judge Bonnl
wcll declared that If tho remainder of the
statement was on a par with this, then the
entire statement "reeks with falsehood."
Judgo llonnlwell, who called tho protest
mass-meeting, denied that ho was a biparti
san Democrat under tho Influence of Sen
ator Penrose, "as Implied by Senator Varc,
RKKKS WITH I'ALS CHOOD
Judge Bonnlwell's statement was as fol
lows: "If Senator Vare's entire statement of
alleged facts published in this morn
ing's newspapers contains no moro truth
than his assertion that the Academy of
Mustc meeting was decided upon two hours
after tho Bhootlng, then every averment In
the statement reeks with falsehood. No
suggestion came to me from any source,
before or after the shooting;' that such a
meeting be held. I waited until Friday
(September 21, the second day after the
shooting) morning, expecting that the men
who had been, leaders In decency would ba.
stirred Into action by the hypocrisy of the
Mayon the lawlessness of Bennett and the
degradation of our election. When Fri
day morning's papers contained no such
call, and with consultation with no other
person than my wife. I Went dli'ect to the
Academy of Music from my home and
made a deposit of $100 to ongage tho Acad
emy, and f elected eight citizens, who ap
peared to me as representatives of ster
ling decency, to take charge.

cljy speaks more eloquently than I can as
to the men. upon Vyhorri tho self-accusation
of guilt rests. There' Is a maxim: 'Whom
the gods would destroy they first make
mad.' It was never truer than tdday."
Supplementing his statement, JUdge Bon
nlwell dented that he was a "Penrose Demo
crat," as Implied In the Varo statement.
"I am not making this statement in de
fense of Senator Pcnrnbe or of any one
else," he explained. "I havo no concern
for him or for his Republican political fac
tion." VARE CHAROUS PENROSE PLOT
Senator Vare's statement alleges that the
"Frog Hollow Musketeers" were Imported
from New York by his political foes, the
Penrose-McNichol wing of the Republican
party. In a plot to besmirch Mayor Smith
and himself. The arrest of Select Council
man William E. Flnley, executive dlrcctot
of the Republican City Committee, was the
culmination of the frame-up to Implicate
Innocent men, he declared. Pledging his
entire fortune to the task of running down
tho guilty ones. Senator Vare annqunceit
that he has employed Detective William J.
Burns to make a special Investigation and
turn over the results to the District At
torney. The Vare statement reads as follows:
I charge that the arrest of1 "William
E. Flnley wus In consequence of tho
most daring and unscrupulous frame

men. He never would have been ar

forty-two injured In last night's air raid
over England the fifth within a week
defenders brought down one hostile ma
chine at Dover, and London Is absolutely
unterrlfled today. The official statement of
casualties today showed that the raids are

Armed with knives, chisels and hammers,
they dug from the streets fragments of
shrapnel which showered on the city during
the attack. The youngsters only regretted
that school prevented further shrapnel

London has ever seen, pesplte a misty
moon, efforts- to trace the 'course of the
battle across tne heavens by following the
sound of the airplane engines and the shell
bursts were sometimes partially successful.
The German machines seemed to turn and
twist, quickly altering their course when
the British guns planted shells too close
for the nerves of their pilots.
