The backbone of the embargo Is thus broken In time to relieve the rears of thousands of shlvcrlnR Phlladel-phlans In the western nnd southern sections of the city thnt have been hardest hit by the temporary stoppage of deliveries Initial action was taken by Mr Potter In a telegram to McGarry, representative of the Lehigh Valley at South Ilethle-hem. In which ho stated his Intention to hold the road strictly accountable for hard-ship imposed on thousands of consumers nt Ahe outset of cold weather.

Mr McGarry at once responded with the explanation that the embargo hod been rendered necessary by Ijie congestion of 685 cars of coal ready for to the P. It. It. at Phillips-burg. "We will undertake to switch together two trains for Philadelphia and deliver to the P.

"The accumulations on our road reacted on our connections at Phllllpsburg Junction nnd the Lehigh Valley, to protect Itself placed an embargo. There are on the Lehigh trnclcs this morning about 400 cars awaiting delivery to us. We took from them 100 cars yesterday, nnd hope to do as well or better today.

The Lehigh will switch out tomorrow solid trains of coal for Philadelphia, which will be forwarded promptly. In addition they will en. deavor to ship solid trains of coal from Packerton, which will greatly relieve the situation. "We hope to Bet the better of our own accumulation to such an extent that the Lehigh Valley can lift lis embargo very shortly. In the meantime, we will give all the preference to Philadelphia coal physically possible."

Lewis announced today that no more red tickets would be issued except upon the personal application of the physlclnn to the administration.

This action, ho said, was caused by the fact that the red ticket privilege had been nbused and that certificates of physicians had been obtained two easily. He declared that the new ruling would give relief where it was actually needed and at the same time prevent Imposition upon the officials. Another interesting ruling made today was that In future dealers will he required t. satisfy themselves, before Ailing orders, that tho purchaser has not on hand more than a thirty days' supply nf coal.

Del. Nov 28 Wilmington's Thanksgiving turkey market took a tumbb' tulay. as a of tho drie by II Itldgeley Harrington, of Dover, who has begun war on the local commission merchants and marketeers, be-cause they tried to freeze him out tf the city's trade. Whereas turkeys yesterday In King street market, the largest in the city, were h-ld at forty-five and fifty rents a pound, today the price full to forty Harrington, who yesterday sold two carloads and trucklrml from Philadelphia at thirty to thirty-hewn cents a pound, was ohllged to raise Ills price to thirty-five to forty. Harrington said lie was forced to raise his rates three cents because of the price-fixing of tut keys by the Covernment in Philadelphia, He said he found he was actually underselling Philadelphia, and that his calls for fowls from that city would seriously affect 'he prise there.

When Harrington sold nf first c.irloail of poultry esterdu.vi he hurried to Philadelphia and, obtaining a fresh supply, brought It to Wilmington in a large motortruck. He thought he had enough to last him. It did last until I p. and when the last turkey was sold he returned to Philadelphia and today the scenes of yes-teiilay vvero re-enacted. Just as fast as the clerks would weigh a turkey several persons, with money In hand, would make a grab for it.

In explanation of Hip increase in price today, Harrington this afternoon said: "We are compelled advance the price to forty cents, because the food administration has caused the advance of tho wholesale prli'f to us In Pennsylvania. Our first consignment we sold at prices which were not suftlciently large to net' us very much jirollt, but we are not complaining, as we did not go Into this sale for the purpose of making money. As a matter of fact, it Is Impossible to handle turkeys on a margin of two cents a pound and break even, let alone make a profit. Harrington's sale of turkeys yesterday exceeded anything of I he kind ever held In this city. In addition to a largo nuantlty of ducks and chickens, which he sold at ten cents less per pound than the regular market quotations, he sold more than 10,000 worth of tuikeys at prices ranging from tniriy cenis to inirty-seven cents pound.

per Kvery barrel of turkeys was personally opened and appioved by the city nieut Inspector, Samuel M. I-'ord, before they were sold. An Intimation that Harrington Intends to continue hla price smashing campaign was contained In a sentence uttered by him this afternoon. "I shall have further announcements to make alter Thanksgiving."

1917 Mnsarlo. March 13. 1917. Philadelphia police have started an Investigation In tht city ns the result of the exposure. It was reported some of the murders hail been committed In this city, but Detective Hen Christy, of Now York who talked with Danlello after his arrest did not remember Philadelphia being mentioned In the confession.

loop vv Detective Christy's stntement was made ut City "all today He came to Philadelphia from New York to get Frank who Is wanted In New York on the charge of killing Policeman Morgan Hurrnvvs wa arrested last week at Hcg Island Detective Callahan sild New Yolk authorities had asked tho Philadelphia Detective Kuioou to look up their lust of unsolved murders in the expectation that Danlello might be able to clear them Danlello Is known ns "Italph the Barber." He Is said to belonged to the gang of murder "bosses'" and "gambling kings" which thrived on crimes committed in Italian sections In New York. The revelation was due to a woman, Mrs Theresa Valvo, whose young daughter doped to Philadelphia with "Halph the barber" last year. As the latter already has a wife and four children living in Italy, hn was arrested In this city on an abduction charge. Hoth he nnd Amelia, the girl In the case, denied that they had befi married She said she had been married here to another Italian named Damlgo, who resembles Damello As a result Damlgo was arrested and convicted on the abduction charge. Then "Ralph the bartender" and the girl eloped nil over again.

The two were tinced to lleno, Nev, where Danlello was nt rested recently after Mrs Valo, angered at the treatment her daughter had lecelvcd. appealed to the police. She Infoimed them that Danlello was mmderer and that he had boasted of taking part in sevetal muiders 1NDICTICD FOI5 MfllDF.n The girl also was arreted In Ileno Hoth were extradited nnd brought to New York on perjury cliaiges In connection with the testimony nga'nst Damlgo. Danlello since has been Indicted for murder In the second degree It was while awaiting trial that he decided to "squeal." Tho confession was sensational In the extreme. The prisoner told of three bands of Italian criminals and gamblers operating In New York and Brooklyn which for the last ten ears have lived by levying tribute and exaclng vengeance in tho Italian sections.

The bands even at times fought each other. Death warrants against offenders their criminal code were signed time ami again by the 'gang bosses man was safe. Danlello said Often a victim would be executed, that Is. murdered, by a man who posed as his last friend The gambling was carried .011 in tho rear of small stores. Those who would attempt to buck up against the established syndicate would be done away with Shooting was the usual procedure.

Sometime the stiletto wi-uld bo un-d The hodles of the victims woutd be done away with In true Italian vendetta stylo. In nt least one case the body of a victim was placed on the railroad tracks at night to be mangled beyond recognition by a train. Danlello Is it small man of swarthy coni-pleNlnn. He has an eight-Inch knife scar on one cheek His story is being verified by the police. He "squealed," partly Ihtongh fear, It was said, and also in vengeance th pangs which seemingly had deserted him and refused mire financial nrslstance He Is tblrty-oiu- years old.

The robbery was alleged to have been committed in a downtown hotel In this city several months ago. The woman was found bound and gagged In her room. She had been severely beaten.

She said that Kelly, who also wits In the mom. had directed two men in the assault and robbery Tho lefusul of the woman to appear and prosecute Kelly after having preferred the charge against him, coupled with the fact that Bbe changed her testimony In the case and resumed her relations with the defendant, was responsible for the action taken by Judge ilogers, who declared that she had trifled with tho court and defeated the ends of Justice. Kelly's trIN for robbing the woman hud been listed eleven times, nnd each time continued because the woman did not appear to prosecute. At the trial Monday sha changed her evidence given on a former occasion and declared that she believed Kelly Inno-cent.
