COAL VIDLATIRS " WARNED OF LAW N. Y. Fuel Administrator Will Enforce Ruling, He Assures New York, Sept. 27—Violators of the recently enacted state fuel law, whether dealers or consumers will be prosecuted vigorously, Willlam. H. Woodln, state fuel administrator, said vesterday. Those pleading ignorance of the ruling of the fuel administra- tion {ssued in general order No. 1, will not be excused, he added. General order No. 1 prohibits deal- ers from selling to any consumer more than two weeks' supply at a time and prohibits consumers from buying more than enough for two weeks. This order is still in force. Mr. Woodin said, and must be obeyed until rescinded. ‘““Under chapter 673 of the laws of fense is a misdemeanor, “‘the first of- fense is a misdeameanor and punish- able by a fine of not less than $100 or more than $1,000 or by imprison- ment for not more than one year or both. The second offense constitutes a felony.” ‘When Mr. Woodin was cuestioned regarding prices he said they should not be much more than last year's or about the same as before the min- ers went on strike. Persons purchas- ing coal at exorbitant prices are re- quested to communicate with the fuel office and produce their bills so that action may be taken. Hard coal continues to arrive in New York in large quantities, accord- ing to railroad reports. More than 900 carloads of anthracite were brought into the city Saturday, Sun- day and Monday by the Lehigh Val- ley, officials of that railroad an- nounced. Collieries served by the L high Valley railroad shipped carloads on Saturday and 11,060 car- loads yesterday. Of the 909 carloads which arrived at New York tidewater within the last few days, 300 were distributed locally yesterday. Perth Amboy re- ceived 230 for New York city and vicinity delivery, ILong Island 11, Newark 28, Jersey City 17 and New Hayven points 14. A new high mark for coal car load- ings was reported y sterrty by the association of railway eSkcutives in the following statement: “The total for the week was 212, 110 cars. This exceeded the preced- ing week by 10,968 cars, On the basis of this loading, coal production during the past week approximated 11,500,000 tons, of which about 9,750,- 000 was bituminous and 1,750,000 tions was anthracite coal.

Director Expects 28-Hour New York to San Francisco Service. Chicago, Sept. —A mail service between New York San Francisco is a possibility for next spring, and night flying in the mail service out of Chicago probably will come within two months, Colonel Paul Henderson, chief of the air mail service, said here yesterday. | The plan for transcontinental mail 1planes provides a schedule twice daily, |with a take-off at New York early in | the morning, arrival at Chicago in the evening and a night trip westward to ‘Cheyenne and completion of the jour- 'ney to San Francisco next morning, Colonel Henderson said. The Chicago - Cheyenne stretch {would be the first section to be il- luminated at night, he said. Plans also are being made, he said, to pro- {vide emergency landing fields perhaps (as near as 25 miles apart with illum- \ inations to guide the night mail pilots. “At present we lose by night stop- overs all that our average speed of 110 miles an hour gains us by day,” Mr. Henderson said. *“The mail trains keep right on. We have had to in- vent our own night flying devices and lights.” Colonel Henderson called attention to the fact that the air mail service had operated 6,800 miles a day with- out accident for ten weeks. 28-hour air and MOVE AGAINST INJUNCTION Chicago, Sept. 27.—Donald R.

At the same time federal agents arrested four men in Chicago, and nine warrants were {ssued for officers and salesmen of the corporation elsewhere, Arrested in the raid here were Benjamin Crager, president; his fa- ther, Henry Crager, vice-president, and Joseph E. Dorn, the latter a broker at 2 Rector street. They were released under $)0,000 ball each by United States Commissioner Hitch- cock after their attorney, Thomas A. McGrath, had entered a general de- nial of all the government's allega- tions. Those placed under arrest at Chi- cago were Samuel Safir, Samuel Getz- ler, H. E. Sideman and Samuel Ros- enblatt, who were held in $25,000 bail each charged with having made false representations, orally and in circulars, in the sale of stock. According to the federal authori- ties, the accused men introduced a new and highly successful system of stock ‘‘reloading” when they dis- posed of stock in a tire corporation and a glass casket corporation, two concerns which had retained the Cra- ger battery of high powered stock Postal inspectors said that the Crager sales- men, in their zeal to make sales, had represented to prospective buyers that a national law making a glass casket mandatory at every burial was a matter only of months Fifty Men Push Sales. The Federal agends also said that the salesmen, fifty of them and each a master of the technique of per- suasion, had been able to induce stockholders in both companies to double and treble their holdings. Dis- creet hints at big developments, a partially masked desire to buy the stock the victim already held, rather than to sell hign more, were some of the methods the Federal inspectors laid at the door of the Crager sales- men. These methods, sald Assistant United States District Attorney Peter J. McCoy, acting like a magnet on| $1,000,000 in nine months, drew be- tween $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 into the coffers in the last two years. He | said that while the tire and glass | casket concerns were live and going enterprises, the accused men also dabbled in fifteen ‘dead and dying corporations,” leading the stockhold- ers in the moribund concerns to be- lieve that a prolific resurrection was at hand. Two weeks ago, C. M. Daniels of 24 Main street, Boswell, Pa., complained Ito postal inspectors in Philadelphia. He had been approached by Crager salesmen who wanted him to increase his holding In the glass casket com- pany. The information he supplied to the Philadelphia authorities caused them to communicate with the post office staff here and Inspectors Na- than Noile and Thomas Fitch were assigned Describes Alleged Methods. According to their reports and the allegations which Mr. McCoy made the basis of his indictment, the prin- cipals in Crager Systems, Inc, \\'nulll: make an arrangement with the offi- cers of a corporation, which was in| need of funds, whereby the Craxer} salesmen would dispose of any treas-| ury stock that might be on hand. Inj other cases, according to the govern- ment’s charge, stock of defunct cor- | porations would be acquired. Then the circulars would begin to go out. A Crager salesman, who got| | his assignment from the lists of stork- holders, wouwd visit a unde would tell the jrospect that he and stood he held, say, 100 shares, Then anoher salesman would appear, gald Mr. McCoy, and offer to buy the stock outright. As a rule the stock- holder refused to sell, the option holt e him back. Next, said Mr. Me-| oy, came u letter from some stoc firm, trying to buy the man's stock, and finally another salesman who ar- rived and informed the stockholder that big thinge were ahead of the| company in which he held shares, “"di that a new issue of stock had becn| voted. The salesman would then v.-| form the lucky one that he had been allotted 100 or so shares. And the stockholder would promptly sih- scribe. I Actually continued Mr. McCoy there were cases where yet another repre. | sentative showed up | “He'd look the man over," said Mr.| McCoy, “and say that the salesman| who had been there last week miust 'have had something on his mind !\when he said that the lucky one had {been allotted only 100 shares.

According to Noile, the company's main activities were directed from the New York and Chicago offices, al- though branches or agents were ac- tive in Boston, Baltimore and other cities. Noile described the furnish- ings of the two floors occupied at the ‘West Forty-second street address as excellent.

There have been complaints or kicks from dissatisfied customers hefore and in each case, demanding an immediate and thor- ough iuvestigation, we have been thoroughly exonerated—nothing has come of it. There is absolutely noth- ing to this. “There may have been cases where salesmen, in excessive zeal, have made extravagant statements, but these statements were entirely the work of the salesmen and the principals of the company knew nothing whatever about them.” William P. Green, national vigilance committee of the Assoclate Advertising clubs of the World last night issued a statement in which he criticised the methods of the Crager System.
