Will Consider Moore's Civil Service Plan DEPUTY MAYOR WANTED Proposals for extending civil crvice to county department- here, liberalizing the municipal civil service ond erenting the new office of ileputy mayor, will be considered the evening of .tnmiiiry ll) by the Philadelphia charter committee. Invitntlons were sent to memberi of the committee todn for the meeting, which will be held in the board room of the rhnmbcr of Commerce, I'. 1. 1) Itoach. secretiirj. sent out the cull nl the direction of Thomai Itneburn White, chairman "f the ubcommtttee on charter. "The committee i not committed to any of the suggestion recently uthnin-cil 'oncoming changes In the charter." Mr White explained today. "The com mittce unites suggestion from any body nnd is going to consider the sug gestions so far made." A meeting of the committee of sev nty wil b" held before the (barter com mittee version. It is scheduled for January 17. Discission then- will re volve around proposed changes, in the election laws. One improvement the committee of seventy desires is u stricter "voters' assistance" clause. Mnyor Moore is an iidmcato of changes in the riul scrie law. He desires n wider range of choice for citj department lieads when making appoint ments from eligible lists. One recent .experience the administration hud win the difficulty experienced in selecting t captain of police. The administration, under the law. was restricted to the tint two names on the list and the first two meu tiiali fled were regarded as politically hostile to the administration. The Major is known to look favor ably on a proposal to create a deputy mayor, who would be empowered to sign municipal contracts and to relieve the Mayor of a mass of executive de tails. With -iiich an office in existence there would be an official who could act In the ubsenco or illness of the Major. Tho charter committee plans to nr range a legiMative program after sifting through the suggested changes. The committee will appear before the Legis lature and ask to have the fhauges agreed to and written into the charter. State Coal Probers Can Show Gouge Continued from rune One or heads of operating companies against whom or winch complaints had been lodged (an admission that there had been prolittecring). u representative of the Department of Justice being pres ent at all the hearings. "Whatever may be said of the extra legality of the proceedings, some such action seems to have btsjn demanded by the emergency conditions that existed and the ends accomplished hae Justi fied tho means." Now what "ends have been accom plished?" might be asked. Has the committee "reduced excessive prices to the consumer," as it flam boyantly announced that it would do? I quote its alleged purpose in its own language. Ha, the Price Gone Down? This is a nfextlin for the consumer In Philadelphia and eastern I'ennsyl ania to decide on personal evidence. It would be harder to find than the last line of a thousand limping limericks. Has any ultimate consumei m or around Philadelphia noted any diminu tion in the price of anthracite ioiiI for the household, the (httreli, the .school or the hospital? The compiler of the anthracite bu reau of information's report manifestly fell down on his job. He omitted the most important and mteiesting part of his report the figures showing how and when the committee had "reduced the price of coal to the consumer." The anthracite bureau's statement wanders nil over the country explaining, or trying to explain, how the "outlaw" switchmen's strike in Chicago, the rail road embargo on anthracite to the New Kngland states, tin tugboat stnke in New York and other untoward acts of individuals "balled up" the anthracite business Hut wlint about the situation, and the price in Philadelphia'' It wasn't af fected by these far-fetched troubles. Moth Still (in On The story goes maundering around like a lost spirit in Hudes, keeping as far from Philadelphia as possible. And it is Philadelphia that Pbiladel phians are interested in. The fair-prbe committee of the antlnacite presidents still goes on and so do the anthracite prices in Philadelphia. Announcement was made this week i in Harrisburg by members of tin. I.e.; islature that u movement to impiuc into! this situation wou'd be made. It will be interesting to discover! through this investigation just wh that SI advance on the price of io.il lut April was really imposed. It was given out at the tun,, tinu thin extra SI n ton was to pay the an ticipated rise in the wugis of the miners. Well, the wage question has been nettled nt, so , seventeen cents, but the $1 raise still holds good. It's still being tolleitrd from the con sumer. Thn fair-prife lomunttec of anthracite presidents hnve rvulentlj overlooked it.

JANUARY '8, 1921' FATHER DOMINIC PLACED ON TRIAL Mayor MacSwInoy's ' Chaplain Charged With Writing In- criminating Letter DOCUMENTS READ IN COURT By the Associated Press 1 Dublin, Jan. 8. Statements "likely" to cause disaffection to his majesty" In documents alleged to have been written by Father Dominic, chaplain to the late Lord Mayor MncSwIncy of Cork, or to have been in possession of Father Dom inic, were read at the opening hero to day of his trial by a field general court martial. The charges against Father Dominic are based on certain passages in a notebook and in a letter, and it was de clared that the occused priest would maintain that tho passages were dic tated to him by Mayor MncSwIncy in the presence of the Urlxton prison au thorities for transmission to Mac Hwlney's friends nnd that the letter was a private communication to a friend in Kngland. The letter on which tho first charge against Father Dominic is based Is al leged to have been written by him No vember 20 to a friend. This letter, which was superscribed, "Franciscan Cn nuchin Friary. Cork." touches on the (activities of the militant Sinn Fclncrs, excoriates tne crown torces ana reters to the recent Sunday in Dublin, when fourteen Uritish court-martial officers wero assassinated, ns a "terrible but wonderful day." The letter nsscrta that "the boys got the lenders of the B. and T. (Black and Ton) reprisals," nnd goes on to say that the Crokc Park shooting which followed the killing of the uuxlllnry officers was "ordered ns a reprisal by Macready, Tudor nnd tho rcmnnnt of the reprisal committee." (General Sir Nevil Mncrcndy is military commander of Ireland, and Ccncrnl II. M, Tudor Is commander of the Black and Tans, or auxiliary forces.) The letter nlso declared that "it wns decided, too, to assassinate Larry 'O'Ncll (tho nnme of 'the lord mayor of Dublin) thnt night." The second charge is based on the memorandum nllegcd to hnve been found in Father Dominic's room at the Ca puchin Friary in Dublin.
