Fight With Detectives
BOTH SUSPECTS DENY GUILT
While search was being made to
day for the robbers who engaged in a
revolver fight with a detective when
caught lobbing a freight car ou 11
Tteadiiig Uuilwny sidetrack near A
street last ubjht, a telephone message
was received at the Episcopal Hospital
for au ambulance to take William
Coates. twenty-two years old, from
182.1 hast Sergeant street. Coatcs was
suffering from a bullet wound in the
bodv.
Detectives questioned Coates as soon
as he reached the hospital, thinking
that he might have been wounded in
the heht. He denied that he was in
the railroad jard and insisted that his
wound was due to an accidental shot,
when it friend dropped a revolver.. He
is to be questioned1 further.
A man who sajK he is Harry Smith,
thirty years old, who was shot, the
police say. by Trunk Hass, a Heading
Kailroad detective, at the time of the
fight with the thieves, is also a pa
tient at the Episcopal Hospital. His
leg is fractured by a bullet. He de
nies that he was with the thieves
and sajs he did nothing to justify the
shooting. He also sajs that he does
not know Coates.
..The police, however, say they have
identified Smith as John Joseph Jack
son, of Eighth and Hace streets. They
say also that they have found that
omith and Coate3 are acquainted.
Detective Hass gays he was walking
along the Heading Railroad tracks
when n man with a revolver ordered
him to "bark up." no walked back
ward, he says, until he reached an iron
pillar. Then, taking advantage of this
cover, he opened fire upon the man who
had stopped him. Four others ap
peared and opened (ire upon the de
tective, but ran when one of them fell.
Has3 states that Smith was the man
who fell.
Hass asserts that the five men were
robbing u freight car loaded with
candy. He thinks thnt the robbers
were looking for a car contuiuing
liquors. Two wagons were waiting
to carry oft" the booty, the detective
bays.

ALL WORLD !S LAZY,
Y
Disinclination to Work One of
Causes for Existing Eco
nomic Conditions
URGES MORE PRODUCTION
Thrift and greater production arc the.
two vital necessities of America and
the rest of the world, according to Pro
fessor Thomas Conway, Jr.
Professor Conway, who fills the chair
of finance at the University of Penn
sylvania, lectured there today on finan
cial problems of world reconstruction.
An analysis of the financial situation
of the world, staggering under enormous
post-war burdens, he said, reveals
clearly that the hope of the world de
pends ou the willingness of the people
to produce more and save more.
"One of the most nlarmlng features
of the situation," Professor Conway
declared, "Is tho widely prevalent dis
inclination to work, existing not only
iu this country but throughout the en
tire world. The war has produced 11
spirit of restlessness and has destroyed
habits of industry and thrift created by
jenrs of peace.
"The uncertain clement iu the entire
situation concerns the willingness of
the people of Europe to throw nsfdc the
specious and unsound panaceas of the
ultra-radicals, to turn their backs upon
the mirage of bolshevism and sovietlsm,
and in the same spirit of united deter
mination and self-discipline with which
they waged the war, start back over the
long, hard trail to comfort and pros
perity. "I believe it is the duly of every
one of us upon every occasion to
pfeach the gospel that the cure for eco
nomic ills which beset us on every side
is to work and save faithful, Indus
trious work, thrift, and the wise in
vestment of our savings ngainst the
proverbial rainy day."
Estimates of the direct cost of the
war. the professor Htated. range from
SlS0,3o-i,000,000 to 5210,035,000,000.
The latter figure, he added, is more thun
nine times the aggregate of the stocks,
bonds and other corporate obligations
of the railrouds of this country.
From a financial point of view, the
professor said, the direct cost of the
war is yet to be paid by the people of
the belligerent nations. Less than
Sli'.OOO.OOO.OOO of the cost of tho war
was derived from taxation, virtually
this cutire nmount being raised bv Great
Britniu and the Uuited States.
JAILER SEEKS DEATH
Attempted Suicide Prohibition Se
quel Arranged for Cremation
Newark. O., Jan. 17. (By A. 1)
George Abbott, city jirison keeper, yes
terday visited an undertaker and ar
ranged to have his body cremated and
his ashes scattered in Buckeye lake,
then went to his office at the city
prison und fired a pistol bullet into his
head. He walk's till living today, though
plo sicians believe the wound is futal.
Abbott has been despondent over do
mestic troubles and the fact that it
was proposed to abolish the city prison
because of the few prisoners committed
there since prohibition became effec
tive. Abbott was married four times.
His third wife committed suicide with
the policeman's revolver about ten
years ago.
CRIME SCHOOLS FLOURISH
N. Y. Detective Says "Graduates" In
Course There Practice Here
Schools of crime, the "graduates" of
which pursue their profession in Phila
delphia, where they meet and co-operate
with other "alumnae," are in opera
tion in New York.
This information was given the de
tective bureau here today by Detective
William King, of New York, who came
to Philadelphia to see John Valcre, the
fourteen-year-old alleged bandit who
was arrested Thursday after the break
ing of the window and attempted rob
bing of a pawnshop at Second and
Market streets.
The detective also questioned Edward
Bice, whom the police arrested yester
day, suspecting him of having been im
plicated in the attempted robbery.
According to King, Rice is a crim
inal with a long record and is buspected
by the pjlice of New York of being the
head of one of the "schools" where
young boys are taught to steal,
UNDERTAKER MAKES DENIAL
Craft Not Trying to Bring Soldier
Oead From Franco
Washington, Jan. 17. (Bv A. P.)
Denial of charges that tho undertakers
of this countrj, from pecuniary mo

have America's soldier dead returned
from France, was made today by John
F. Martin, of Elizabeth, N. J., presi
dent of the National Funeral Directors'
Association.
"There has not been and is not now
any organized effort ,m the part of the
undertakers to urge the bringing back
of these bodies." said a statement
issued by Mr. Martin. He added that
to bring back bodies to those who wi9h
their sons to remain buried in France
would be u "great shock and injus
tice." Meetings recently held in New York
and other cities, at which the opposite
point of view was taken, Martin de
clared, were held without any under
takers having been present,

"There are also the problems of in
