after having confessed to police that!
he shot and killed Charles L. Joyce
in the Hupp home in Lakewood last
night. Joyce was a travelling sales
man for a New York cloth house, i

police to-day when they questioned
: the 13-year-old daughter of Hupp.
According to Hupp's statement to
Dakewood police he shot and killed
Joyce when he found him in his
home last qight and because of at-
tentions Joyce had fevidenced toward
Hupp's wife.
"It was because of my Jove for
my wife that I shot Joyce," said
Hupp.

Feel the Lack of Coal
Philadelphia, Jan. 11.—Philadelphia
waa Within forty-eight hours of so
mg llghtless. trolley less and tralnless
yesterday because ot a c6al shortage
revealed by the Philadelphia Klec
trlc Company, which called for tuca
to break the ice jam in the Delaware
river and release two fuel barges.
The company, which furnishes elec
tric lighting for the city and power
| for the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
I Company and electrified portion
l of the Pennsylvania llailroad from
llroad Street Station to Paoli, was
, dewn to two days' fuel supply.
! The company had two coal barges
tied up in the Ice at Horseshoe Bend,
i in the Delaware river. When it sent
: word of its predicament to City Hall
two ice-breaking tugs were dis
patched in a hurry. The tusr re
leased the barges and broke a chan
nel up the Schuylkill river to permit
unloading at the Twenty-sixth
Christian streets power station.
From officials of the Philadelphia
Electric Company it was learned las'
night that the coal supply is a seri
ous problem, as the plants can get
just enough fuel to_keep a few days
ahead. Coal is on the way, both by
water and rail, it was said, but cold
