Plans to defraud the government,
said: to have been formed by a group of
former army men. pome of them offi
cers, orc revealed today to Captain of
Detectives Bonder nnd officer of the
nrmy Intelligence office here In the al
leged confession of John H. Muir.
Muir. who 1r fifty jears old, is under
arrest in this city and wanted in Mount
Holly. N .1,, to answer a forgery
charge.
According to Captain Sotidrr, the
plans to cheat the. government were
revealed when Mulr was confronted by
two men in civilian clothing, who are
said to haxo accused him of tnking
52000 from them in New York to or-
?a,ulze a company which was never
ormed.
"Yes. I'm the man that got the moncv
from your crowd," the prisoner is (.aid
by Captain Soitdcr to have answered.
Then, according to the detects e. he
charged he had been given the money
"to salve" men of the United States
transport corps, through whom, it is
said, they wanted, to get ten auto
mobiles. Found Ann" .Men in Scheme
"I want to say that I have found a
nitmber of former army men planning
to steal from the government." Cap
tain Sounder said Muir told him.
"These men (indicating the two civil
ians who confronted him) are among
tbcra."
Muir is then said to have outlined
the plans to form a syndicate in New
York for the purchase and sale of mo
torcars now owned by the government.
The $2000 Muir is said to have taken
from the two men was. according to the
prisoner's statement to Captain Sou
der, to bo used as "hush money"
among the service men in chnrgc of
the machines,
The fact that Muir was a former
service man was established after his
arrest at a Chestnut street hotel by
Detective Abbott, of Central Station.
The arrest was made on a charge of
forging a check, but Muir was freed of
the accusation. He was held, however,
for carrying a heavy service revolver
and for falc pretence.
Honorably Discharged
Abbott found an honorable discharge
certificate on Muir's person, showing
he had been" mustered out of service
sir months ago. His record shows he
served with distinction at St. Mihicl.
Two letters were found in his pocket
One of them, signed with the name of
Harold McCormick, of the Interna
tional Harvester Co., told of their serv
ice together In France, and mentioned
that the writer had talked of Muir to
a 'Mr. Perkins."
The other letter, addressed to George
TV. Perkins, New York millionaire and
had of the company, bad apparently
been, written by Muir. It asked the
financier to provide the writer with 2.",
rwi Iiiit. (.arc (mm th covernroont
" and then sell thom at higher prices in
the market. rne writer saiu a prom,
of $230,000 could be realized in this
way in sis months' time. The letter
had never been mailed.
Remained in Transport Corps
Abbott learned that, following his
discharge from the army Muir had been
engaged as a civilian employe in the
transport corps.
A note written by Captain Rouder to
the local office of the army intelligence
resulted in today's developments in the
case. An officer in uniform, attended by
four soldiers, a Secret Service agent aud
the two men in civilian clothing, went to
Captain Souder's office and Muir was
brought before them.
After the proceedings in the de
tective's office, the army officer left
-with the two men in civilian clothes.
SEAMEN ARRESTED BIG RUSE

Eight seamen of the U. S. Lake Fres
co, a shipping board vessel, walked InUi
TUiited States Commissioner Manley's

V" tain Ernest M Peters charged that on
'-' TJovember 11 the men celebrated
'armistice oay, ana retuscu to tanc

'quality of food and quarters.
He agreed to make matters right, and
the ship was two miles at sea when the
stream suddenly gave out. It was neces
Wry to return to port, where the

IIPPM wwwtry, ate tweatietn
ny the Associated Press
Washington, Pec. 0. Not one cent
can be added to the price of coal to
financn any Increases In the wages of
nilucrs, Fuel Administrator Garfield de
clared today, nfter reading press dis
patches that Governor Cx. of Ohio,
had proposed that miners and operators
In that state compromise on the basis
of n 2." per cent advance In pay for
the men.
Doctor Garfield Indicated that the
government would interpose no ob
jection if the increase could be given
without ndwinoliiK coal prices.
"Tliern will be no increase in the
present price of coal as flxca under the
Lever net." Doctor Garfield said, "no
matter what local arrangements nnd
ngreementi- are put into erfect.
He added that his position was ab
fc.lutely unchanged from that taken on
November "l, with the authorization
of the cabinet. Doctor Garfield ex
plained then. In suggesting the ljj, pr
cent Rdvance. which the miners prompt
ly rejected, that he was not fixing wage
scales, anil had no authority to do so.
He Indicated that the Increase sug
g(sted was merely that which the oper
ators were able to grant without ad
anclng the price of coal which the
government has fixed.
All bituminous coal mines now in
operation must close within n week uu
less the railroad administration pays
for the coal it has confiscated or di
verted, said n statement today by the
American Wholesale Coal Association.
The association said the railroad ad
ministration had refused to pay for the
coal until a price it considered fair had
been fixed by Doctor Garfield and that
Doctor Garfield had refused to change
his price ruling.
Mines which will be affected, the
statement said, are producing now
r,400,000 tons of coal weekly, the sole
supply for the nation in the present
crisis.
"If the mines are to continue to pro
duce coal they must have money to
meet their payrolls," said the state
ment. "The railroad administration is
taking 00 per cent of this coul. It has
paid for no confiscated or diverted coal
for sixty days and refuses to pay until
a price which it considers fair is fixed
by Doctor Garfield. Doctor Garfield
has refused to change his price rulings.
So long us this deadlock continues coal
mines can get no money for coal which
has been mined and shipped."

360 QTS. OF SCOTCH WHISKY
BURLINGTON
Son of Laic General E. Burd Grubb Inherits Enough Spirits to
Insure Against the Inconvenience of "Stveet Dry and Dry"
Where there's a will there's a way to
get good old Scotch. That's the only
way to get it these days it has to be
inherited.
A windfall a wet one has come to
B. Burd Grubb. of Burlington, who re
cently served with other city troopers in
France nnd is socially prominent in
Philadelphia, in the form of thirty
cases of old Scotch whisky, left him in
the will of his uncle, C. R. Grubb1, of
'Manada, P.i
This delightful legacy, which is finer
and rarer than much fine gold, is safely
cached in an old wine cellar in Ma
nada, Dauphin county, whence it will
have to be removed to a more favorable
position before the internal revenue
sharps declare the movement of liquor
illegal on aud after the dreaded 10th
of January.
Mr. Grubb's share of the Scotch
makes, iu round cheerful figures. 360
quarts of the treasured stuff. And real
Scotch whisky, as every one knows to
his extreme depression, is worth at
least $20 a quart.
That runs the value of tho inheri
tance up to $7200, which figure fails
APARTMENT RENT RISE
RENEWS TENANT FIGHT
Occupants of West'Phila. Build
ing Plan Contest Agents
Offer Explanations
i
Tenants of an anartment house at
the northeast corner of Sixty-third and
Callow hill streets have received notice
of an approaching increase in their
rents.
In consequence, several of the occu
pants have joined the West Philadel
phia Tenants' Protective Association,
following nn indignation meeting Inst
night.
A. M. Xevin, chairman of the pro
testing tenants, said today that he and
his colleagues will refuse to pay the
advanced rental, which, they say,
averages about 50 per cent.
Carpenter &. Wilson, 0220 Market
street, are agents for tbe property.
At their office today it was said the
apartment houses hod been sold rccentlv.
and that the move to Increase rentals
was inspired by the new owner. In
the notice sent out the reason given
was tho increased assessment and the
growing cost of fuel and other inci
dentals to upkeep.
It was asserted today at 'the office
of the. agents that tbe value of the
property had been Jumped $20,000 for
taxation. The building bad not been
kept up-to-date, and the new purchaser
planned a general renovation, it was
said. To cover these added expenses
the rents had to be raised.
It was declared that while the extra
amount might be CO per cent, as in
cases where rentals had been lifted
from $40 a month to $C0, even the ad
ditional price did not bring the revenue
to the level of other similar suites in
the same vicinity.
At last night's meeting of tenants.
William Roberts acted as secretary and
a committee was named to obtain legal
aid. The notice rtcelved from the agentB
set forth that the new leases would be
effective January 20. but tenants were
notified to give noticn of their Inten
tions before noon December 15. Some
of the recipients held this time to be
too short in which to procure new
apartments.
Old occupants declared the same
suites for which $60 is now demanded
had been rented in 1014 for $23 and
$25 a month.

The railroad administration today es
tablished an embargo, effective Mon

Kansas, federal agents were instructed
to proceed nt once against producers who

age in the West to increase the price of
their product.
Oil producers. Senator Capper haid,
have increased their prices from about
$1 a barrel before the strike to nearly
$4.50 a barrel. Senator Capper also

ducers "bad got together" on prices-.
The. embargo was expected to aid in
forcing down the prices.

After a battle, during which many of
'he fair contestants were hritlsed nnd
battered, the All-rhlladelphlajteam de
feated the varsity of Bryn Mawr Col
lege today In the closing hockey match
of the season. Score, 8-0.
Tbe game was marked with many
surprising plays, not to mention bumps
end thumps.
The Cheston sisters and the Misses
lownsend and Irons, of the All-Phlla-delnhlans,
were the stars of tho game
and helped score the points which mnde
a strong contrast with, the zero of tho
Bryn Mawrites.
Miss Townsend scored two gonls in
the second half, while the Oheston sisters
landed a goal each. Miss Irons figured
with two goals.
The excitement started nt the very
Ju,. Pt. ,f thf &amc- Thc first na'f was
full of thrills. x
Miss Irons First to Score
The first goal was scored bv Miss
Irons in less than two minutes nfter
the first play. On the. next play Miss
laylor, of Bryn Mawr, received a blow
on tho eg and hadJto retire, Miss Ncel
taking her position.
Shortly after the substitution Miss
Cheston, captain of thc Philadelphia
team, scored tho second goal. On this
play tho rootera ,for the Philadelphia
team ebcred lustily.
In a few more scrimmages Miss Irons
scored her second goal.
Each aggregation had a little army
"'rooters and they were true to their
calling. They completely enrlrcled the
grnssy arena and gave vocal encourage
ment in mlghtly volume. As they sat
tailor fashion enveloped in heavy
blankets about thc big field, the stren
uous rooters resembled a big delegation
of squaws at an Indian conclave.
Makes Colorful Scene
Thc blankets were startling In color
and made a vivid contrast with thc hazy
atmosphtre. Alternating with these
comfortable robes were sport coats aud
hats which fairly lighted the sceno in
spots and added to the life of the sur
roundings. Confidence -was reflected on every
feminine countenance and determina
tion evidenced on each side.
The' fight started off evenly with each
side somewhat wary.
The All-Philadelphia team was mode
up of the best players of the various
Philadelphia country clubs. The line

Politicians will hnvc to explain tbe
why nnd wherefore of things when
Vvomcn take nn active interest In poli
tic', Mrs. John O. Miller, president of the
Pennsylvania League of Women Citi'
sens, made this statement, today at the1
convention of tho organization at the
New Century CJub. The convention was
called by the Woman Suffrage party,
which formed a Philadelphia branch or
the League of Women Citizens and then
parsed out of existence.
Mrs. Miller declared the league would
be on guard constantly in city nnd
stale and keep n close watch on all
kinds of legislation.
"The women arc coming Into some
degree- ot power at n time when they
are much needed." she said. "Thou
sands of those who will soon be toters
nro college yomen, mature women aud
those of average modern intelligence.
They form a thoroughly representative,
group. The fact that worasn vote will
not destroy the home.
"It's second nature with a woman to
say why," she added, "and this will be
developed ns their interest In govern
ment Increases."
One bf thc biggest things before "the
women now is the classes for citizen
ship which will soon be started. These
courses will nlsovbenefit the men.
Next to that in importance is the
plan to better the school conditions
of Pennsylvania. "Women should oc
cupy some of the school positions, as
they can handle many educational prob
lems better than men."
A review of the new charter for
Philadelphia was given by Mrs. Ed
ward W. Biddle. president of the Civic
Club. Incidentally bIic praised Mayor
elect Moore.
"Mr. Moore has promised to stand
by the charter," said Mrs. Biddle, "and
that is nil we can nsk of him." In
discussing the charter she touched on
the reduction of City Council, the budget
system, the elimination of firemen nod
policemen from politics, the city's power
t) do its own street cleaning and other
subjects highly pertinent to tho city's
welfare.
Mrs. Biddle. spoke of the necessity of
women taking interest in government.
Their inattention to governmental af
fairs, she said, left them woefully
ignorant.
After the convention Mrs. MUIcr was
asked if tho new organization would
keep in touch with governmental affairs
in politics.
She said thc league would have n
thorough legislative program and would
be constantly on guard watching all
kinds of legislation.
One of the first moves of Philadel
phia's women citizens will be to urge
''the election of a proportional num.
bcr of women ns members of the. Board
of Education as successive vacancies
occur."
Mrs. George A. Piersol, wrho has
headed the suffrage organization for
some time, wns elected president of tbe
new league. Mrs, George A. Dunning.
Mrs. Harry E. Kohn, Miss Helen Fogg,
Dr. Lida Stewart Cogill and Mrs.
Ralph Raiguel were made vice presi
dents; Mrs. K. Q. A. Ellis, secret
tacy, and Miss Bello Donehower, treasurer.
