Three Jugo-Slavs employed at Cramp's
shipyards, who were arrested by agents
of the Department of Justice on suspi
cion of having collected money to aid
Austria In the prosecution of the war
against the United States and Its' allies,
will be examined at the Federal Building
today. The men were arrested after one
of their number had shouted "Hurrah
for the Kaiser." '
With the examination of the men Gov
ernment agents will start an Investiga
tion Into societies composed entirely of
Austrlans employed at shipbuilding and
as munitions workers.
Simultaneously with this Investigation,

Persons who grumble, at the limited
.levator service and ths shutting off
of1" lights In office buildings and on
Mrects at nights, who complain against
the skip-stop trolley Bcrvlce and other
conservation regulations, nre looking at
the situation from a narrow and selfish
angle, not froin a broad and patriotic
viewpoint, according to E. I. Cole, sec-
rotary of the conservation division of
the Federal fuel administration for the
State of Pennsylvania. I
, "Every pound of coal saved now will
4)e equivalent to two pounds when the
cold weather arrives," said Mr. Cole.
"The State, as a' whole, has been ap
. Bortloned 7.C22.300 tons of domestic an
thracite.
The Austrian shipyard employes who
will be examined today arc Ignatz I.ur
son, 2665 East Thompson street: George
Levak, 260 East Harold street, nnd
Andrew Cakfl. 2021 Livingston street.
All admitted they are alien enemies, and
say they registered as such when war
was declared on Austria.
According to Federal agents, the men
have been collecting funds, for the last
few weeks, ostensibly for aiding dis
abled Jugo-Slav soldiers In Austria.
They are said to be members of n so
ciety with distinctly pro-German lean
ings. Other workmen accused them of
aiding Austria and when opo of the
three shouted "Hurrah for the Kaiser,"
the trio was set upon by a mob and
escaped serious Injury only by the Inter
ference of the shipyard guards.
An official of the Cramp yard will ap
pear egalnst the men today. The men
sav their trouble Is the result of a fac
tional fight between Croations and Jugo.

ods, will not go outside the city. What
.other towns In the State save will re

' ' Keeping Careful Wntch
"We are keeping careful watch on the
total number of tons of coal saved In
each hotel and office building affected by
ytlie conservation rulings, and though
we are not prepared to give out any de
tailed statement until a month has
lapsed, you can say that one big Chest
nut street hotel alone Is saving a ton
and a half a day, and one large office
building," -which has Its own power
, plant, 'Is saving three and a half tons
'n. day. We are confident from reports
'received so far that the total of coal
conserved bythe' present rules will be
i most Impressive.
"There seems to be a vague .impres
sion that Philadelphia Is being made
the victim of some sort of visionary ex
periment. This Is not the case. The
whole matter has been most carefully
worked out, and no order has been Is
sued that has" not been unanimously ap-
,: proved by a board of expert engineers.
If other cities and States do not care
to follow our lead, they will probably
regret the fact next January .
"The fuel administration wishes to
emphasize the fact that tho supply of
, coal alloted to Pennsylvania will fall
far short of the demand unless It Is
carefully conserved and every ounce
, of power secured from every pound. The
"miners cannot dig out enough coal and
. the railroads cannot transport enough
to meet every need of the State or the
country, we must get along with what
; . m will have, and It seems only wise
to save In every possible way now so
to keep the wheels of Industry run-

"FLARE" AT DUPONTS
DESTROYS POWDER
300,000 Pounds "Go Up"
When Truck Bearings Be
come Overheated a
More than 300.000 pnundi of cannon
powder were ruined when n powder mag
azine was destroyed In a "flare" at Plant,
No. 2 of th" du Pont company at Car
neys Point. N. J., earlv this morning. No
person was Injured. Tho damage Is put
at S260.000.
The reflection from tho flare lighted
up the sky and could be seen many miles
away.
A heated bearing In a motortruck Is
believed to have caused- tho "flare."
Soon after the magazine started to burn
a statement was Issued by officials of
the company to the effect that some
powder was Ignited by the heat from a
bearing.
Several other magazines and freight
cars on, a nearby siding were threatened
for a time by the blaze.
The du Pont Company today Issued
this explanation of tho "flare":
"Tho explosion took place In a ware
house on the edge of plant No. 2. It
contained about &00.000 pounds of can
non powder. It was caused by the
heating of, the brake bearings of a mo
tortruck which was loading In front of
the warehouse. There was no loss of
life. The men who were doing the load
ing had plenty of time to get away after
the flare started. The bearings heated
on account of a tight brake on the mo
torcar." y .

INTRODUCES BILL
FOR AIR DEPARTMENT
Provides for Cabinet Member
With Full Control Over
Aircraft
Wajlilnuton, Aug. 1 (By I. N. S.),
Senator New, of Indiana, a member of
the Senate Aircraft Investigating Com
mittee, today Introduced a resolution
creating a department of aeronautics,
with a Cabinet member to be known as
"Secretary of Aeronautics" es Its head.
"I am confident that this Is tho solu
tion of our aircraft difficulties," said
Senator New, "and this. Is borne out by
every army oftlcer of hl'sli command and
every member of the aircraft board of
tho old nnd tho new regime. This bill
Is based on the testimony taken before
the Investigating committee."
Tho Secretary of Aeronautics under
the New bill would haye "direct and
complete" control of all matters pertain
ing to the design, purchase, nnd manu
facture of aircraft and aircraft equip
ment Intended for tho use of tho army,
navy or marine corps."
The Cabinet member would bo ap
pointed by tho President and confirmed
by tho Senate, and would receive a sal
ary of $12,000 a year.
Financial provision for the new de
partment Is made by turning over "un
expended balances of such appropriations-
as may have, been made for the
purpose and manufacture) of aircraft and
aircraft equipment nnd all appropria
tions hereafter made for such pur
poses.".
Tho Introduction of Senator New's
bill closely follows tho statement made
by Senator Reed, another member of
the Investigating committee, favoring the
creation of an air ministry, nnd Indi
cates that this will bo an outstanding
feature In tho committee's report.
WORK FOR MAIMED SOLDIERS
Edtlystonc Rifle Plant Will Em
ploy Men Invalided Home
American soldiers Invalided home
from France will be given employment
nt the Eddystone rifle plant, according
to Major W. A. Garrett, assistant gen
eral manager.
OlTlclals of the Mldvalo Steel Com

have nsked War Departmnnt olllclals to
send soldiers Incapacitated at the front

the men will probably stnrt to work

The Eddystone olllclals' action Is one
of the flrst steps In a natlon-wldo move

Trenlon, Auk. 1.
Governor Edge today, In announcing
the platform upon which he will stand
as a Republican for the United States
Senate, declared for emergency war pro
hibition, woman suffrage, encourage
ment of the new merchant marine, a
business-like budget system for the na
tion's financing, Federal co-operation
for bridging the Delaware Itlver be
tween Camden and Philadelphia and tun
neling tho Hudson between Jersey City
and New York and an apportionment
of war revenues between taxes and
bond Issues, that huslness and Industry
will not be strangled by destructive tax
ation or suffer from overlnflatlon Inci
dent to Imprudent borrowing.
"I realize that the views I have taken
respecting all of the subjects treated
In the platform will not, of course, meet
with the approyal of every citizen,"
said Governor Edge today. "It would
be presumptuous to expect such unanim
ity of opinion In thin day, when the
problems are of such perplexing char
acter. ITpon t,oine subjects I have
reached no final conclusion, for the rea
son that I realize the necessity of main
taining an open mind In order thnt the
period of wonderful experience through
which we arc passing may be used as a
guide. For any man to stand up today
and arbitrarily decide tho future of such
problems, for Instance, as Government
railroad ownership, or permanent taxa
tion policies. Is to prove that he Is ut
terly Incompetent to nssumo tho re
sponslbllltles of business government In
reconstruction times. Treatment given
such matters under stress of war neces
sity might be wholly Impractical In
times of peace, and probably would be.
"I feel Justified in asking tho public
to compare this platform and lt3 treat
ment of vital national problems with
the destructive appeal to prejudice and
empty resort to demagoguery or person
al criticism on the part of those who lm-
aglne the people will be patient with
an effort to contuse Slato utility regula
tions, Important as they aro locally, with
tho far-reaching problems now before
tho nation, when hundreds of thousands
of our boys aro In mortal combat and
governments are trembling In the bal
ance. "In addition to war support and ac
tivity, I give special prominence to two
subjects tho development by America
of a foremost place In world commerce
through the encouragement along profit
able lines of our new merchant marine
and the reformation of national finances
through tho adoption of a business-like
budget system, because 1 consider these
Issues of Immediate and paramount im
portance; nnd If chosen Senator I will
concentrate my efforts chiefly on their
successful accomplishment as I have on
specific Improvements In State affairs."

FURNITURE Store the largest in the State and it has no jewelry department losses
or any other department losses to make up by charging excessive prices in its
