6 WEST SHORE FUEL I SITUATION LAID BEFORE^ POTTER fj immediate Action Necessary j to Avert Serious' Coal Fam- j ine; Many Bins Empty Members of the Cumberland County. 1 Fuel Committee, It was learned to- , day have made "'irorous represents- j tions to State Administrator Potter in I regards to the coal situation in Le- ; r.'.oyne. Camp Hill and other towns in the lower end of Cumberland county, which is said to be alarming. L Tills territory is served by four dealers. Wierman & Wlerman, P. W. I Lender. S- W. l.eaeh and the Paxton ff Flour and Feed Company, and upon the shipments to these dealers the en tire community must depend for the : winter fuel supply. • I The first named dealer Informs the fuel administration that he alone lias on his hooks the unfilled orders of , more than a hundred families, many of which were placed with him during i April. Failure of the fuel administra tion to insure even the regularly al loted monthly shipments in given by this dealer as the cause for his in ability to supply consumers. Criticise Paxtoa's Methods , Attention of the fuel committee has also hcen called to the practice of the i Paxton Flour and Feed Company In j hauling a large pert of its allotment across the river to supply its custom ers in Harrisburg. It is about this practice that most of the criticism is directed. At a recent meeting of the county 1 committee the entire situation was | laid before that body by Robert L Myers, who represents the lower end of the county on the committee. Mr. My'ers presented eommunica- i tions from various consumers who ] complained about the situation. One ! consumer who placed his order on April 1. the first day permitted by the fuel regulations, contended that he' was entirely without fuel at that time. Another poinled out that many ' soldiers' families were entirely with- I out coal and called attention to the serious shortage of last winter"Which ' resulted in much illness and suffer ing In the lower end of the county. j Families Close Homes So acute has the situation in the t "WVst Shore towns become that some j fa mil ics arc already planning to . close their homes there and obtain rooms in Harrisburg on account of their inability to obtain fuel. After these facts wero laid before 1 the committee, a subcommittee was ! appointed to give special attention to : averting another fuel famine in the i lower end of the county. Mr. Myers, who is a member of this i committee, intimated this morning! that important progress in solvrng> tlie problem has already been made. , He did not, however, say .iust what ; had been done and inquiry among the | dealers developed the fact that the I present month's shipments have been j far below tlie allotments. Hint at Disclosures It Is intimated by those who are | watching the situation in this com- | n unity that the trouble is all caus-i e<l by a lack of co-operation between the local committee and t.he state ad- i lulnlstrator, who it Is hinted, obtains much of his information regarding' affairs in this community from other: sources than the local committee. It i is hinted that some rather startling disclosures will be ipsdo in the near future regarding the manner in which ; the county allotment is being affected by diversion of shipments to other points. , CHRISTIAN KXUIvWOR SOCIAL !

GOVERNOR URGES UNERRING PROBE OF PA. WEIGHTS Declares Againsl Elements of | Waste and Unfairness in Commercial Life Declaring for an impartial inves tigation of the weighing machinery, of the state and against every etc- \ mcnt of waste and unfairness in the; state's commerce, Governor Martin j G. Brumbaugh addressed members I of the Pennsylvania Association oL Inspectors of Weights and Measures | at tho opening session of their thfiea dny conference held in the Senate 1 chamber at the Capitol this morn i ing. It is the sixth annual confer-J ence of the kind to be held by the< inspectors, of which there were ahout 100 present. The Governor's! address of welcome and that of Jumes' Sweeney, chief of the Pennsylvania Bureau of Standards, were the prin cipal features of the morning session, reports of different committees and that of the treasurer of the associa tion taking other places on the pro gram. "The Department of Weights and Measures." averred tho Governor, "will be a greatly increased and im portant one during the coming year. We have come to a point in this country due to the war when every element of wusto and unfulrncss must disappear from the marts of trade and when every man must get what he pays for, no more nd no less." Continuing, Governor Brum baugh said: Urges Fair Inquiry "It is of tho utmost Importance, that an impartial investigation of the weighingjnachinery of the state bo; made to assure fairness to the boiler and buyer alike. The State of Penn sylvania is coming to be free, 1 am glad to say, "of any atmosphere of cheat or fraud surrounding its! weights and standards." Speaking of the state's relation ,to the Federal government in the war crisis, the Governor said; "So far, iiji this war, the national i government Ilasn't asked anything of the old Commonwealth of Pennsylva nia that the latter hasn't given great and gloriously. Anything that we can do for the nation should be ! done freely, promptly and splendidly I for the winning of the war." In tit's respect, the Governor added, all | Pennsylvanians should- strike to ! make this slate .first- I ' Cliiof Praises Inspectors Congratulating the inspectors for I the work they had accomplished tiur j ing the past year and emphasizing ♦.he pressing need of "devising nteth ' ode to prevent the profiteering of I certain dealers who take advantage i of the abnormal conditions existing I as a result of the war," Chief Swee i ney, of the Bureau of Standards, also' addressed the conference. This speaker urged the adoption of, resolutions by the conference, before 1 it adjourned, pledging its members,! collectively and individually, toi i whole-hearted aid in the country's cause and to give its soldiers the! fullest encouragement in winning the' ; war. There never was a time in the j j history of the weight and measure ! proposition in Pennsylvania, Mr. | Sweeney said, when a conference of the inspectors of weights and meas ures was more necessary than at the present time. Tho chief of the bu reau stressed the important aid ren dered by the inspectors to the State Food Administrator in preventing the violation of-regulations affecting the conservation of food. Interest in Court Decision Much interest attached to the con-I ference hereabouts apropos of its, I likely action touching Judge McCar- I rell's decision made in the Dauphin! I county court last winter when he! : ruled for a defendant in a cokl case | that a dealer could not be legallv prosecuted who had given short! I weight by rcales that had been duly I tested and passed by inspectors even j though the shortage be proved. It I j is expected that the conference will | urge the enactment of a law by the! state Legislature making such cases' | amenable to prosecution and punish [ ment. _ TIMBER I.AXD PURCHASED S. A.

This unusual development is at tracting much attention In court cir cles as it has not happened before. Usually in past years at least half a dozen lawyers were available in ths court room and when the district attorneys called a defendant for trial who was not represented the triai Judge would ask one of the attor neys to "oblige the <*>urt by assist ing the defendant." Now the judges haven't any lawyers to call upon for that help. Lawyers assisting the registrants with "the questionnaires have been "head over heels" in work. The legal advisory board an nounced that the lawyers would sit 'n the city council chamber between 11 a. m. and 1 p. m.: from 4 to 6 p. m_ and from 7 to 9 p. m.. but tho hours of their sitting have been extended, not voluntarily, but because *he. crowd of registrants has been so big that it couldn't be handled in rhe alloted time. Several inwybrs were unable to get into the council chamber to-day bacause the room was so crowded witjj registrants and they called ten or a dozen .registrants out of the room" and took them to their lnw offices.

NEW SYSTEM TO GOVERN DRAWING OF WAR NUMBERS Five Days' Delay Expected in Announcing New Draft For Army WunlUoiriou. Sept. 25. A new sys- ! tem of giving the order in which i draft numbers are drawn from the big glass boxvl at the Capitol is be ing worked out. and it is likely tho full list of numbers will not be made public until live days after the draw ing takes place. Representatives of the committee on public information, the provost marshal general's office and the news associations are working on a pro gram to meet the unusual situation presented by the large number of "pills" to be drawn, due to the heavy registration. It will not be possible to flash the order in which numbers are" drawn over the press wires, as on previous occasions, as it is estimated the pro cess will involve twenty-six hours of constant drawing and use of the tele graph wires of the press associationes for a corresponding period, if the press wires are tied up on the draft numbers for such a long time, it would mean serious demoralization of all other news service. The drawing is expected to take place next week, probably on Wednes day. This is the date originally fore cast by General Crowder, and the manner in which<the states are report ing to him indicates it may be pos sible to hold the drawing then. The plan under consideration provides that only the first twelve or fifteen num bers drawn from the bowl by promi nent officials shall sent out over the- wires. Thet remainder will be compiled In printed lists by a special I force at the government printing of fice and mailed to the newspapers for publication on the fifth day following the drawing. This, it Is contended, will prevent a demoralization of the news service out of Washington and \<%ll enable every newspaper to have ap equal opportunity of printing the full list as drawn. the entire bar to raise any objec-j 1 tions to the motion. He said it j ! would greatly inconvenience him as j 1 he desired to have the cases on the ; list in which he was attorney, dis- ; posed of. The court remarked that j , i all the other lawyers were in the j • j same position- Mr. Kunkel then sug- j i gested that the courtrooms would j ■ I not be of any greater service in ■ , handling the crowds of registrants, | • and also intimated that a place might i be found at the Capitol building to j do the work. He told the court hi would not protest if the list were j I continued but did not think such . ! | action should be taken.

The Bolshevik! are fast retreaters. Yesterday a Bolshevik plane drop ped three bombs in an American held village, but without damage. Later it descended within the American lines and was captured. Although some other forces are participating In the maneuvers, the Americans are largely predominant on this sector. The frontier is be ing extended as fast as the engi neers are able to repair the damaged railroad. Except for the railway line the ter rain In this region Is almost impas sable.

FOURTH LOAN IS NEEDED TO BEAT ]' KAISER IN WAR McAdoo, Calling For Six Ril-j lion Minimum, So Advises | New Yorkers* • i New York, Sept. 25.—Six billion i dollars is the minimum amount | which* the people" of the Uni't*! j States are asked to subscribe for the j Fourth Liberty Loan, according to j an announcement by William G. Mc j Adoo, Secretary of the Treasury, in a ! stirring address here last night, out- j lining the government's plan for the ! campaign, which starts Saturday, j The share allotted to the New I .York Federal Reserve district is ,$1,800,000,000, or 30 per cent, of; | the greatest loan yet offered. The : j loan, which will bear 4 % per cent, j I interest, will run for 20 years, rna- I turing October 15, 1938, unless the I government should exercise its re | served right to redeem the bonds on i or after October 15, 1933. Asserting that, without this vast ' sum, "we canno,- lick the Kaiser," I' the Secretary made a special appeal [ for the subscriptions of corporations ! and wealthy individuals, as returns I from the Third Liberty Loan indi ! cated that wealthy corporations and j persons of large means had not re , I sponded "commensurately with their [labilities fo help." He pointed out , [ that of the 18,000,000 Americans 1 j who subscribed for the last loan; [only 22,500 including corporations, i bought bonds in excess of $10,000.' • "It would be preposterous." the .

Work of Swindlers Denounced [ Mr. McAdoo also condemned the . practice of "swindlers and unscru ' pulous and unpatriotic people, who, •[contrary to the urgent request of the • Treasury Department, had induced • | holders of Liberty Bonds to ex '■ • change them for stocks or invest ments of doubtful Value." He pointed m out that these operations forced the p treasury to buy the bonds, thus i thrown upon the market, in order ,: to protect the market and the credit oI the government.
