Mrs. Caleb P. Fox, of the Huntingdon
Valley Country Club, won the Mary Thayer
Farnum Memorial Cup at the Wilmington
Country Club today, with a total of 181
for 3G holes. Her victory was a very har
row one, for she finished up only one stroke
ahead of Miss Mildred Caverly and two
strokes ahead of Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow.
Despite the fact that she had trouble on
one or two holes, Mrs. Fox played flno golf
and thoroughly deserved her victory.
She started out with a four, a three, a
five and a four and was even fours for the
first four holes. The fifth proved expensive,
for she got Into a trap with her second
shot and took two to get out. and the hole
cost her an eight. She settled down again
after this nnd played fine golf to the turn.
Sho was out in 43. Sho Btarted tho home

made up somewhat for It with a three on

GARFIELD ISSUES
DEFITOCOALMEN
Tells Both Owners and Min
ers Trifling Will Not
Be Tolerated
WILL COMPEL PRODUCTION
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.
Fuel Administrator Harry A. Garfield
late this nfternoon wired both the coal oper
ators and the miners In Illinois, Indiana,
und Ohio, whero thero are labor troubles
threatening tho coal supply, that he will
deal with them without gloves. If cither
sldo attempts to bring pressure upon him
to reach a decision on their differences he
declares he will postpone decision and use
"whatever power Is necessary" to compel
tho production of coal.
Dr. Garfield's telegram to the miners
and operators in seven districts whero
strikes have already occurred or aro Im
pending follows:
"American citizens engaged In the mining
of coal, whether operators or miners, are
for tho most Dart mindful of tho fact
that our country Is at war and that the
hurdtn rests upon them to produce the coal
needed without interruption. But there
are evidently some who fall to under
stand the gravity of the situation and
who do not hesitate to advocate strikes at
tho present time as a means of forcing
the Government to at once decide whether
the wage Increase agreed to at the meetings
recently held at 'Washington by tho orr
ntors and miners of the Central district,
should Justly be covered by an advance In
the prices fixed by the President. The mat
ter has been submitted to me and all con
cerned aro expected to co-operate. I am
giving immediate and close attention to
the question and hope to reach a decision
at an early .date. The only circumstance
within my control which will delay that
decision will bo the violation of the spirit
of the arrangements between the operators
and miners, which was that under no cir
cumstances should the production of coal
In the United States at the present time
be allowed to diminish. If either the oper
ators or the miners attempt to bring pres

Andrew J. Moloney, president nnd di
rector of the Philadelphia Life Insurance

been bc-rn March 3, IStC In Maryland.
MR. MALONEY'S VIEWS
Mr. Mnlonoy had not as yet received for
mal notltlcatlon of his appointment to the
commission when Informed of,'tlio fact by
tho Kvuxino Lr.nuEis. Wlpn nslted If ho
had in mind any general points on which
the insurance laws of the State should be
revised, ho said:
"I have been practicing under that law
for many years, but I do not know that It
needs nny revision. 1 am one of those few
Mho believo that the fewer new laws we
havo the better that ts to say, I brllevo
that law, to be etllraclous, should be con
tinuous, so that tho public does not become
confused by constant change In It. Unless
It should be specially called to my attention,
t do not think of any abuso nf the Insurance
lawn of the State which would call for any
change In It."
In attempting to liquidate the affairs of
the Pension Mutual, State Insurance Com
missioner O'Nell, acting us receiver of the
company, l-uggested last 'JariQaty- that th
company's policies be taken over by the
Philadelphia Life Insuranco Company, of
