After the proceedings in the detective's office, the army officer left -with the two men in civilian clothes.

Not one cent can be added to the price of coal to financn any Increases In the wages of nilucrs, Fuel Administrator Garfield declared today, nfter reading press dispatches that Governor Cx. of Ohio, had proposed that miners and operators In that state compromise on the basis of 2." per cent advance In pay for the men. Doctor Garfield Indicated that the government would interpose no objection if the increase could be given without ndwinoliiK coal prices. "Tliern will be no increase in the present price of coal as flxca under the Lever net." Doctor Garfield said, "no matter what local arrangements nnd ngreementi- are put into erfect. He added that his position was ab fc.lutely unchanged from that taken on November with the authorization of the cabinet.

Doctor Garfield explained then. In suggesting the ljj, pr cent Rdvance. which the miners promptly rejected, that he was not fixing wage scales, anil had no authority to do so. He Indicated that the Increase sug-g(sted was merely that which the operators were able to grant without ad-anclng the price of coal which the government has fixed. All bituminous coal mines now in operation must close within week uu-less the railroad administration pays for the coal it has confiscated or diverted, said statement today by the American Wholesale Coal Association.

The association said the railroad administration had refused to pay for the coal until a price it considered fair had been fixed by Doctor Garfield and that Doctor Garfield had refused to change his price ruling. Mines which will be affected, the statement said, are producing now tons of coal weekly, the sole supply for the nation in the present crisis. "If the mines are to continue to produce coal they must have money to meet their payrolls," said the statement. "The railroad administration is taking 00 per cent of this coul. It has paid for no confiscated or diverted coal for sixty days and refuses to pay until a price which it considers fair is fixed by Doctor Garfield.

Doctor Garfield has refused to change his price rulings. So long us this deadlock continues coal mines can get no money for coal which has been mined and shipped." Detroit. Dec. 6. (By A.

Burd Grubb Inherits Enough Spirits to Insure Against the Inconvenience of "Stveet Dry and Dry" Where there's a will there's a way to get good old Scotch.

That's the only way to get it these days it has to be inherited. A windfall a wet one has come to B. Burd Grubb. of Burlington, who recently served with other city troopers in France nnd is socially prominent in Philadelphia, in the form of thirty cases of old Scotch whisky, left him in the will of his uncle, C.

Mr. Grubb's share of the Scotch makes, iu round cheerful figures. 360 quarts of the treasured stuff. And real Scotch whisky, as every one knows to his extreme depression, is worth at least $20 a quart.

That runs the value of tho inheritance up to $7200, which figure fails APARTMENT RENT RISE RENEWS TENANT FIGHT Occupants of West'Phila. Building Plan Contest Agents Offer Explanations i Tenants of an anartment house at the northeast corner of Sixty-third and Callow hill streets have received notice of an approaching increase in their rents. In consequence, several of the occupants have joined the West Philadelphia Tenants' Protective Association, following nn indignation meeting Inst night. A. M.

Xevin, chairman of the protesting tenants, said today that he and his colleagues will refuse to pay the advanced rental, which, they say, averages about 50 per cent. Carpenter Wilson, 0220 Market street, are agents for tbe property. At their office today it was said the apartment houses hod been sold rccentlv. and that the move to Increase rentals was inspired by the new owner. In the notice sent out the reason given was tho increased assessment and the growing cost of fuel and other incidentals to upkeep.

It was asserted today at 'the office of the. agents that tbe value of the property had been Jumped $20,000 for taxation. The building bad not been kept up-to-date, and the new purchaser planned a general renovation, it was said. To cover these added expenses the rents had to be raised. It was declared that while the extra amount might be CO per cent, as in cases where rentals had been lifted from $40 a month to $C0, even the additional price did not bring the revenue to the level of other similar suites in the same vicinity.

At last night's meeting of tenants. William Roberts acted as secretary and a committee was named to obtain legal aid. The notice rtcelved from the agentB set forth that the new leases would be effective January 20. but tenants were notified to give noticn of their Intentions before noon December 15. Some of the recipients held this time to be too short in which to procure new apartments.

Old occupants declared the same suites for which $60 is now demanded had been rented in 1014 for $23 and $25 a month. SMYTH SNUBS COL.

Though coming in for only fifth of his uncle's estate, he receives half the Scotch because three of the legatees are women. Three's a crowd when it comes to dividing cases of fine Scotch. That the inheritance is a thing that passes mere earthly value is shown bv the statement of Charles J. Iteuksuff. general manager of a brewing companv here, who says that the real thing in old Scotch is "worth what you can get for it." He added that good Scotch should bring from $15 to $o0 quart at auction, and that plenty of buyers at these high figures could bo found.

Miller, president of the Pennsylvania League of Women Citi' sens, made this statement, today at the1 convention of tho organization at the New Century CJub. The convention was called by the Woman Suffrage party, which formed a Philadelphia branch or the League of Women Citizens and then parsed out of existence. Mrs. Miller declared the league would be on guard constantly in city nnd stale and keep close watch on all kinds of legislation. "The women arc coming Into some degree- ot power at time when they are much needed." she said.

"Thousands of those who will soon be toters nro college yomen, mature women aud those of average modern intelligence. They form a thoroughly representative, group. The fact that worasn vote will not destroy the home. "It's second nature with a woman to say why," she added, "and this will be developed ns their interest In govern ment Increases." One bf thc biggest things before "the women now is the classes for citizenship which will soon be started. These courses will nlsovbenefit the men.

Next to that in importance is the plan to better the school conditions of Pennsylvania. "Women should occupy some of the school positions, as they can handle many educational problems better than men." A review of the new charter for Philadelphia was given by Mrs. Edward W. Biddle. president of the Civic Club.

Incidentally bIic praised Mayor-elect Moore. "Mr. Moore has promised to stand by the charter," said Mrs. Biddle, "and that is nil we can nsk of him." In discussing the charter she touched on the reduction of City Council, the budget system, the elimination of firemen nod policemen from politics, the city's power t) do its own street cleaning and other subjects highly pertinent to tho city's welfare. Mrs.

Biddle. spoke of the necessity of women taking interest in government. Their inattention to governmental affairs, she said, left them woefully ignorant. After the convention Mrs. MUIcr was asked if tho new organization would keep in touch with governmental affairs in politics.
