SAYS KAISER WOULD OUST
GRAFTERS FROM CITY HALL
Then He Would Impose Worse Bur
dens, Declares Miss
Richards
Should the Germans conquer our coun
try and come to Philadelphia their first
act would be to tear the political grafters
out of City Hall and put them In Jail,
where they belong, according to Miss Janet
Richards, a lecturer and writer, who spoke
this morning at the Broad Street Theatre.
Miss Richards went on to state that the
cities of Berlin, Dusseldorf and Munich, in
Germany, are undoubtedly better managed
than some of the cities in this country.
"When the Kaiser reads of such defeat
of good government forces as occurred in
Philadelphia and New York yesterday,"
said Miss Richards, he "undoubtedly says to
his subjects: 'See, that Is what happens In
a democracy. They don t know even how to
govern themselves!"
Miss Richards accused Hylan, Mayor
elect of New York city, with being rabidly
against the English people. She said that
Bhe had no doubt that every German vic
tory on tho other side was hailed in certain
political quarters In this country as a worthy
event.
"It is up to each city to vindicate the
principles of democracy In Its elections,"
she said, "but In the lights of the events of
yesterday In the two large eastern cities
decent people can only repeat. In the lan
guage of the Bible, 'Oh, Lord, how long, how
long?' "
In her outline of what the Germans would
do it they came tcuthls city, Miss Richards
spoke of the burden they would ultimately
put upon the citizens. She characterized this
burden as worse than that put upon the
municipality by tHe. gang rulers.
ROUNDING UP BRITONS
FOR SERVICE IN THE WAR
In the near future there will be no "men
without a country" in the United States, as
far as the English are concerned. Speak
ing today at a luncheon of the Rotary Club
Colonel St George Steele, of the British
recruiting mission, said that a thorough
census was' being made of those men In this
country who came from England or her
colonies, arid that in tho not far distant
future those or them who had no naturali
sation paper, would be conscripted Into the
English army. Those who had taken out
their first American paper, would be told
to join the American, color.
Colonel Steele said that women In Eur.
land were about to .tart in the exclusive
Duuaing oi a Daitiesnip, "Thero are over
1,000,000 Englishwomen engaged, in rough
work at this time," he said. "They do

'MEANEST THIEF TRIES
TO STEAL 400 LBS. COAL
Woman Catches Negro Driver
Departing Before. All of
Order Is Unloaded
The fact that coal Is selling at the high
est price In years makes little difference to
Chnrles Congter, a negro, of BSS7 Ludlow
street He was characterized as tho
meanest thief In Philadelphia this afternoon
by Magistrate Harris, before whom he was
arraigned on the charge of stealing 400
pounds of coal from Mrs, Sidney Krumltne,
of B037 Larchwood street.
It was through the alertness of Mrs.
Krumllne that the negro was arrested. She
ordered two tons of coal from the Atlantic
Fuel Company. Fifty-seventh street and
Whitby avenue. The cool was accurately
weighed and was exactly two tons when
taken from tho yard by Congter. When he
delivered the coal to the Krumllne home
Mrs. Krumllne noticed that a considerable
quantity was still In the wagon when Cong
ter was nbout to drive away. She called his
attention to the fact, and the negro, It Is
said, told the woman that tho wagon had
two and a quarter tons and that he In
tended delivering tho other quarter-ton to
another customer.
On telephoning the Atlantic Fuel Com
pany, Mrs. Krumllne learned that tho entire
quantity on the wagon had been Intended
for her. Policeman Stauffer was sum
moned. He nrrested the negro and brought
him before the Magistrate. Frank II.
Mathers, president of the coal company,
appeared against Congter. He denounced
the negro for such a trick at this time when
the price of coal Is high and expressed the
belief that Congter might have been prac
ticing the same trick on other customers.
Congter was held In $100 ball for a
further hearing on Friday.

Thanksgiving turkeys and other poultry
were suggested at the meeting of the Phila
delphia Produce Exchange, at Front and
Chestnut streets, today.
The plan was suggested In n communica
tion Bent by tho food administration In
Wnshlngton, nnd read at the meeting. It
not only suggested the nlmost Immediate
release of poultry now held In storage ; but
an expression of opinion from counsel of
the fuel administration intimated that the
Department of Justice would be Justified In
taking action against cold storagonen who
refused to release such products.
It was explained that such refusal could
be held ns a violation of the special food
act passed last August.
A copy of the communication has been
pent to all cold-storage owners. It read In
part:
"It is suggested that all dealers adjust
their prices so that turkeys and other frozen
poultry can be put on the market at once."
Such action would tend to lower prices, It
was explained. Severnl dealers ulso ex
pressed themselves against the practice of
carrying frozen poultry over from one sea
son to the next season of plenty. The food
administration evidently also frowns upon
this procedure, as It Is Inauclve to high
prices and scarcity In tho market.
