oeing tuen una tlieie .Mayor or the
eity of Philadelphia, did. within one
year last past, commit (ho crime of
misbehavior and misdemeanor in
oftlcc, which crime was committed
under the following circumstances
and in the following manner:
"The mi id Thomas B. Smith, .being
Mn or as aforesaid, did appoint cer
tain citizens of said city to the post
or oflice of member of the Board of
Recreation, to which said hoard or
oflice he was by law entitled to ap

"That by irtue ot his oflice ot

the pot of supervisor of recreation
under said boaid, a acancy existed In
said position qf supervisor, which It
became the duty of the bald board
to fill by the appointment of a com

DEALERS CANT EXPLAIN
w around the corner, thou-
... ,.,,,.
i"ls of homes In this city are without
cca', despite coal oiders of long stand-
lnB'
ir-''- ' Philadelphia's 00 or more
retail dealers are wondertng when they
win He able to supply necessary fuel to
tllPr customers.
A large number of homes have part
ot their winter's supply of coal, but
many other homes' have not been able
to obtain even a half ton. This condi
tion is particularly true of the northern
part of the city.
At the same time, some retnll dealers
without a single lump of domestic size
coal In their yards are wondering1 why
other jards are brimming over with
coal and et refusing to take any more
orders.
l.rirl Mu'.lng Inqulr.v
Krancls A. Lewis, Lounty fuel admin
istrator. Is now engaged In learning the
exact situation In every part of the
city. Coal dealers are being called Into
conference at the rate of twelve a day
and questioned concerning their slocks
on hand and the numbep of unfilled or
ders they have.
These conferences are supplemental to
the reports filed regularly with the
fuel administrator, which give that offi
cial a comprehensive view of the entire
situation.
One dealer In the northern part of
the city has since April and up to
Monday last, delivered 5353 tons ot coal
In the family sizes. But In sharp con
trast with those deliveries ate unfilled
orders for C8C8 tons of coal with cus
tomers clamoring for their supply and,
of necessity, getting nothing more than
promises.
With the prevalence of Influenza and
its occasional and deadlier aftermath,
pneumonia. In mind, householders fear
that winter storni will sweep down
on a city ot cold furnaces.
"Where Is Ihe coal?" Is the question
hurled nt dealers In all parts of the
city. and the dealers can only refer
the questioners to the fuel Hdmlnlstia
tlon. Order 'for 100 Ton
Another coal retailer in the northern
part of the city, whose business Is com
paratively small has delivered slightly
more than 1700 tons, nnd now has a
denuded yard with unfilled orders for
1000 more tons.
Another question arousing perplexity
among householders, but not so much
as the apparent coal scarcity, Is the
price question.
Varying prices obtain for the same
sizes of coal among different dealers.
Twice monthly, coal retailers go over
their books and total the costs of the
coal to them, striking an average and
adding to that average a gross profit of
J2.50 a ton.

slgtiiflcince and has been tlie subject
of study, tliough the question of the

the Ualkan Power. ,
Intrrriil In New ork Npeerli '
Intense Interest is felt here in the
President's speech In New York. On
the occasion of his last opening of
Liberty Loan drive tlie President went 1
further In declaring his purposes than '
in anv picilous utterance. He announc
ed his determination to use "force to
the utmost." I
Since then the situation has changed
Thr Allied force hair fellow n a rapuelo 1
to drive the (Irrinnni nt will. The tem
per of tlie country has hardened so
that nine men out of every ten are
dipiandlng a complete military victory
over the foe. And the President is'
singularly sensitive to the Hews of the
common man vv ho has to do the
llght-
lug In this war
It Is the general belief here that the
President has now little hope of ob
taining the kind
of peace he wants, ,
