8 SEES NO REASON FOR INCREASE IN PRICE OF COAL JFederal Trades Commission Warns Anthracite Dealers Costs Are Known By Ass . ialed Press Washington. >Urch 13.—The Feder al Trade Commission to-day notified th® country's leading anthracite coal producers that any failure to grant the n3ual spring reductions cannot be justified by claims of Increased cost of production. The commission has heard, the notice says, that producers Intend either to withdraw or reduce the regular seasonal discounts on the ground of increased mining costs. In Its inquiry Into the cost of min ing anthracite, the report on which soon will be Issued, the commission has obtained detailed information on the costs of companies which mined In 1916 about 75 per cent, of the total production of anthracite. "This in formation," says the commission, "ob tained directly from the records of the companies referred to. Indicates 'no Increase in average cost in the last four months of 1916, and further In dicates an actual decrease of cost In the case of some of tho companies whose cost production Is high. Should Grant Discount "Judging from the tonnage produc ed in January, 1917, there Is no rea son to believe that costs thus far In 1917 would materially change the av erage shown by the figures complied from September to December, 1916. Therefore, it is the opinion of the commission, that further Increases In circular prices this spring by failure to grant the customary discounts could not be Justified on the basis of In creased cost. "The commission makes this state ment In advance of Its forthcoming report, because it is a matter of vital Interest to the public that no unjusti fiable increase in price be made. "This statement does not refer to tho increases in circular prices of all anthracite in May, 1916, nor to the panio prices which have prevailed on part of the tonnage this fall and win ter, concerning which the commission will make a report in the near future. The cost data already compiled by the commission, however, are conclus ive against further price Increases this spring." WITHDRAW EXCEPTION'S Exceptions to the charges of David E. Kecfe, superintendent of construc tion of the Camptown bridge, Brad ford county, were withdrawn in Dau phin couny court this morning by Rodney A. Mercur, Bradford county solicitor. WHAT TO DO WHEN HAIR GROWS THIN Give the Hair Root Nourishment and Stop Spread of Duldnens Thousands of men and women are Krowing bald every day and don't know the reason why. This is indeed a pity because baldness usually conies from carelessness and anyone who gives the hair just a little attention should have an abundance of good healthy hair. Dandruff and dirt help to cause bald ness by clogging the pores in the scalp and giving the dandruff germs fertile ground for prolific breeding. The treatment is very simple; remove the dirt by shampooing and destroy the dandruff germs by frequently ap plying a little of the real Parisian Sage (liquid form) a most efficient prepar ation that the best druggists every where are now recommending as one of the quickest and safest treatments to surely stop itching scalp and fall ing hair, remove all dandruff and to properly nourish and invigorate the hair roots. Parisian Sage is also the discrimin ating woman's favorite hair dressing because it gives her hair a softness and luster that fascinates and compels ad miration.

R.'S IF WAR IS WAGED [Continued From First Page] declared they were "hopeful" of mak ing a satisfactory adjustment of ques tions pending with tho railroads. The brotherhood representatives also informed President Wilson'that if while they were negotiating with the railroads the nation became in volved In war. tlicy would -co-operate to the fullest extent with the Govern ment. No Official Information Neither President Wilson nor Secre tary Wilson of the Department of Labor, had official information nt-day regarding the intention of tliu brother hoods to strike unless u satisfactory arrangement was reached at Thurs day's conference. An investigation was begun through governmental agencies, however, it was stated that there was little of a definite character that the government could do .inul the putcome of the meeting in New York Thursday is known. At the direction of President Wil son, Secretary Wilson of the Depart ment of Labor will keep in close touch with the conference In New York on Thursday and should it fall the gov ernment will then consider further steps. Government officials regarded It as inconceivable that there should be a nation-wide railroad strike at tills time and while no plans have been mapped out it was generally taken for granted that the President will use hia utmost efforts to prevent such a strike. The letter of the brotherhood rep resentatives to President Wilson tol lows: "We feel obligated to officially ad- | vise you of our intention to meet again j the National Conference Committee i of the railways oil March 15th, for the \ purpose of making another effort toi adjust the pending eight-hour con troversy. "We are very hopeful of working out a satisfactory adjustment with the railroads but if while we ar enegotiat ing, our country should become in volved in war, we want to assure you, as chief executivo of the nation, that we and the membership we represent, can be relied upon to support you to the fullest extent and that yourself i and the nation will have our hearty ! and full support." BROTHERHOOD MEN MUM ON STRIKE [Continued From First Paste] tioned frequently as having been pro posed for the strike, but national offi cials of tho brotherhoods would neith er confirm or deny tho report.

About 200 men were expected to attend the meeting here to-day. Boston. March 13. Local chair-i men of the railroad brotherhoods said they had received no strike orders up to an early hour to-day and that they had not been notified that the national officers of the four brotherhoods weie planning a general strike. "If any action of this kind were proposed I am sure that we would have heard of it," said H. J. Pair, chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen of the Boston and Maine System. St. Louis, March 13. Committee chairman of the four brotherhoods of southwestern railways met here to [ day in .a general conference to make [ recommendations fo rthe settlement of | the eight-hour controversy.

THAW [Continued From First Page] i They will enter $600,000 security, j Thaw's present income, according to ' his counsel, is between $75,000 and ; SBO,OOO on two trust funds left by his father, William Thaw. No appeal from tlie court's decision to-day can be carried to tile Supremo court, according to Thaw's attorney, i Immediately after the announcement i of Judge Martin's decree Thaw's coun sel in a telegram, notified Governor Brumbaugh ot' tlie action taken on tho question of Thaw's sanity and the ap pointment by the court of committees of bis person and estate. Mother Is Custodian , In another decree Judge Martin ap pointed Thaw's mother custodian of j his person. It was learned to-day that Mrs. Car- I negie, Thaw's sister, and Joslali Thaw, a brother, of Pittsburgh, were among I the witnesses who testified in the lunacy proceedings. Physicians testified before the j lunacy commission that Thaw was suf fering from dementia and would get worse as time went on. The commission heard testimony rc ; j viewing his life from the time he was 21 years old until his l'ecent attempt at suicide. To Appeal to Governor . New York. March 13. —The decision of tho Common Pleas Court of Phila ' dclphia declaring Harry K. Thaw in sane, which it is believed they will frustrate attempts to bring him to this city for trial on charges of assaulting Frederick Gump, will not deter Dis -1 trict Attorney Swann, it was learned here to-day from making application to Governor Brumbaugh for Thaw's extradition. This step will be taken it was said, just as soon as the district , attorney's office has been informed officially of the lunacy decision. The impression that Thaw cannot be brought to New York for trial do*;s not agree with two decisions of tho United States Supreme Court accord ing to Assistant District Attorney Black. The Porter Charlton case was one instance, Mr. Black said, and the other that of Drew verstls Thaw in New Hampshire, when under a Su preme Court ruling Thaw was extra dited from that State under conditions similar to the present one.
