Ordinance Being Drawn Up
Which Provides Admission
of Kelker Extension
According to a borough Council
man, an ordinance providing for the
admission of the Kelker extension In
the vicinity of Pine street will be
brought up before Council in month
ly session on Monday night.
Council has been considering this
move for more than a year. A sur
vey has been taken of the plot,
which will include a large amount of
ground. Figures which have been
compiled by Borough Engineer Oal
lrghfin will be submitted to Council
on Monday if the ordinance is in
shape to be brought up, the Coun
cilman said.
The territory to be taken into the
borough is splendid for building pur
poses and will be laid off in building
lots. For the present time at least,
the Councilman said, building will
not be encouraged on the lots. Resi
dents will be urged to purchase
them and cultivate them during the
summer.
According to present indications,
the budget for 1918 will be present
ed to Council by the finance commit
tee. This committee has been work
ing hard and probably will complete
its work at a meeting to be held the
latter part of this week.
At this meeting bids for the dis
posal of garbage will be opened and
the matter of adding patrolmen to the
present police force will be taken
up.
Cary Admits Shooting
Watts During Fight
Andrew Cary, 254 Lincoln street,
held on a charge of murdering Ar
thur Watts, 126 Adams street, on
Monday, made a statement yester
day afternoon to District Attorney
Michael E. Stroup, admitting that he
had shot the other colored man.
Cary declared however, Watts had
threatened his life on Monday and
several times before that. The story
told by Cary and the one by Mrs.
Watts wife of the murdered man,
conflict in many respects it was said.
The principal fact that Cary first
shot Watts while the latter was
standing in the kitchen of his home,
then followed him into the next
room and fired again, was corrobor
ated by Mrs. Watts. No date has been
set for the inquest or for the pre
liminary hearing of Cary.

PRICE FIXING
PROVES FAILURE,
ASSERTS LODGE
Coal Production Curtailed
Through U. S. Action, Says
Massachusetts Senator
By Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 27. —Govern-
ment price-fixing as a method of pre
venting profiteering hai proved a
failure Senator Lodge, of Massachu
setts, declared to-day In giving the
Senate the conclusions he had drawn
from the recent Investigations of the
coal and sugar shortages. In the
case of coal. Senator Lodge said,
price-fixing had only served to cur
tail production while the food ad
ministration's price plan for sugar
had kept western beet sugar from
the eastern states and in the mean
time retailers of coal and sugar had
protiteercd.
Price-Fixlne Policy Wrong
"To prevent profiteering by a few,"
the senator explained, "the funda
mental error of the administration
was that a policy for all of fixing
prices—declared a failure in both
Germany and France —was adopted,
instead of one of stimulating and
increasing production."
Blame for the coal shortage Sen
ator Lodge laid to the fuel adminis
tration's price-fixing plan together
with railroad difficulties and the
closing order he had described as
"complete confession of impotence
and failure." He denounced the fuel
administration as an "unnecessary
agency" which was "composed large
ly of amateurs."
Created Chaos
"The result of the fuel adminis
tration's policy," ho said, "was to
add to the already enormous rail
road difficulties by creating chaos in
distribution and adding to all this
suspense, alarm and uncertainty duo
to fixing an arbitrary price.
"The system adopted by Mr. Hoo
ver had at least the merit of main
taining production. The system of
making a different coal price at each
mine was impracticable. Even if
they kept "prices down, which is
purely guesswork, they brought a
coal famine .with this nominal fixed
price."
Declaring he did not believe the
railroad problem could not have
been solved, Senator Dodge con
tinued:
"But nothing can be more certain
than that the policy of the fuel ad
ministration, its attempt to substitute
a new scheme of distribution, its
reckless price-fixing, brought on a
coal famine in a country which has
more coal than any in the world.
Paralyzed Private Interests
"What we needed was not a shut
ting down of industries; a freight
embargo on all railroads (the fuel
administration policy) is a striking
evidence of how much harm has
been done by paralyzing private in
terests and undertaking to solve the
difficulties by one bureau composed
largely of amateurs.
"There was no need of the fuel
administration, no reason why it
should exist at all. Its powers, how
ever amiable and patriotic the pur
poses of their possessor, have been
employed to make a bad situation
worse and do nothing but harm. The
vital point of the whole coal situa
tion was the railroad problem."
Either Secretary Lane or Francis
S. Peabody, Senator Lodge said,
should have charge of the coal situa
tion. Annulment by Secretary Bak
er of the agreement Mr. Lane
brought about at a conference of op
erators. dealers and consumers was
;riticised by the senator. He also
lenounced conferring of vast pow
ers upon, state fuel administrators.
SILL ic luv..
Must He Democrats
"So far as I can learn," paid Mr.
Lodge, "the only qualification of
these gentlemen is that they should
be Democrats."
Senator Lodge also warned the
Senate against official interference
with what some government bureau
may decide to be a nonessential in
dustry. Neither, he said, In conclu
sion, should those who criticise gov
ernment affairs be charged with be
ing friends of Germany.
"X think it will be wise to omit
attacks upon patriotism of m
merely because we differ from the
as to the manner in which the w
is being conducted," he said. "F
triotism is not confined to those a
pointed to more or less lmporta
offices In Washington. There is
tendency to make the test of p
triotism a blind unquestioning su
port not only of the President hii
self, but of everyone he sees fit
appoint. It is ours to support t
President, but never beyond wh
our conscientious convictions of du
to the country and the cause d
mand."
