Hy an cxlcnsion of his poueix. jiis-l coiilliini'd. cvci.v hairier, haa been lemowd from his cMicisi- of complete authority in all coal mattets conceinlnir PeiiiisylMinhi. This announccnient Is of the deepest Interest In every dial-consumer who has been anxiously and hopctully watching his disposition "f ""' more llie Ited authority he has eicrclsed heretofore. "Mr. Putter's conception of his powers ot ollice has been that they were purely ad ministrative, subject al every point lo tin higher ruling of Washington." was said by those closest to the Administration today. "Even with his very keen utilization of tho gravity of the dangers thieatenlng Phila delphia, this Implosion has laigely cur tailedibls tled of action. Hut any such lim itation as has existed in his mind no longer exists. Ily this latest extension of Ids powers he becomes subject to fin higher authority, not even that of (iarfleld himself. In other words, it is now up to Air. Potter. The coal situation existing In Philadelphia has become a matter of gravest concern to the powers In Washington, and that a coal famine In Philadelphia at tho outset of a piobibly severe winter must lie averted at any cost, It Is fiankly admitted, not merely for the interests ot the Philadelphia citizens. III prepared to meet such a famine, hut because such a famine would strike a blow at the most vital Interests of the nation. Philadelphia Is the heart of the nation's shipbuilding Industry The whole world Is looking to her for the winning of the war through the ships only she can provide. The largest shipbuilding concern in Phila delphia is at this moment sending out ad vertisements, urging householders to open their homes to tho workers on the (Jovvern ment ships West and Soifth Philadelphia aro at the present moment In tho clutch of an actual coal f amino. Their retailers have no coal, and there Is llttlo coal Immediately availa ble, though bright predictions have been made a-plenty T.abor conditions compli cate any Immediate correction' of this ap palling condition. Tho question Is: What will William Potter do toward their ad justment? What will ho do toward Informing him self as to the car supply, admittedly In sulllclent, and to- the repairing of Its ile flclencles'.' Will he be big enough to look itf coal problems through the eyes of needy consumers, or will he be blinded by the Klatnour of big business? Is he big enough to meet the big dealers without fear or favor? Aloro than a million and a half Phila delphlans now have tho right to look to William Pctter for the right answer to all these questions. SH00TSSERVANT GIRL, BELIEVING HER BURGLAR Lawyer, Awakened by Her Fumbling at Door, and Wounds Her in Shoulder Anna Ferric, eighteen years old, a do. mestio employed In tho homo of Oeorge, Hart, an attorney, .1921 Pulaski avenue, left tho house early laat night lo visit some friends. It was shortly after midnight when she returned. To gain entrance sho went to the rear door. It was lucked, ami sho had forgotten to lake her koy. For several minutes sho fumbled with tho doorknob In un effort lo force the door She made so much noise that she aroused her employer, who, glancing out ot the window and seeing the hazy outlines of a llgure working at the door, believed that a burglar was Mrylng Iu gain entrance. Quietly ho stepped over to his room and returned with a revolver. He called to tlm llgure and, receiving no answer, tired three times. Then he closed the window'. The girl was taken to the Germantown Hospital, where It was said that her wounds are not serious. Hart was arraigned before Magistrate Pennock today and testified that the girl had been employed by him yester day, but was not to go to work until thin morning, and that when he heard a noise and saw a shadow on the side of the house Jio thought a burglar was trying to enter the house. He called out the word "halt," he said, but got no results, and then he tired a shot In the air. Tho figure continued. to advance ana he shot twice at the shadow, wounding the girl. Magistrate Pennock held Hart In $400 ball for a further hearing next Thursday. 1NTERURBAN CAR KILLS ONE UHADKOItn, Pa., Nov. IB.

Ily this move, supple mented by transfers to cover bills not In cluded In the loan, the Administration hopes to meet all demands until the .veal's end. The loan by no means covers all the bills Incurred upon th- faith and credit ot the city, as coal bills aggregating a half mil lion and many other heavy charges will be allowed to go over the calendar year with out any attempt being made to pay them. The whole of the $1,200,000 will be utilized for wages, salaries and other personal Items, except $320,003 for Interest on new loans.

This will probably bo done al a special meeting to he called later in the mouth, as today's meeting Is the last regular one b fore the tlmo limit on fixing the tax rate has expired.
