Alcorn yesterday asked Judge Kellogg in superior court to issue bench warrants for the arrest of J. Willie Mills, Senator Richard Covert and Alderman Cornelius J. Dehm of this city. The warrants were issued, Mills being charged with mal- feasance in office—until his recent suspension he was a federal prohibi- tion enforcement officer — and the others being charged with a minor of- fense under an old statute which has not been repealed. They are at lib- erty today under bonds of $1,000 for Mills and $500 each for Covert and Dehm. Bonds were furnished by Ired Beloin. Charge Against Mills The statute under which Mills is °ld reads as follows: very person concerned in the administration of justice who shall take anything to influence his behaviour in office, and any person who shall give or offer anything to any person concerned with intent to influence }is be- havior in office shall be fi *d not morve than $1,000 and imprisoned In the state prison not more than five years and shall be forever incapable of holding any office of trust or profit.” Charge Against Covert and Dehm The statute in the case of Covert and Dehm is as follows: “Procuring Liquor by False Statements. Every minor and every person to whom the sale of spirituous and intoxicating liquors is by law forbidden who shall en- ter any place where such liquors are sold or reputed to be sold to be drunk on the premises, or who shall purchdse or attempt to pur- chase such liquors, or who shall make any false statement for the purpose of procuring such liquor shall be fined not more than fifty dollars. No person accused of a Violation of this section and no person accused of selling such liquors to any such persons shail be excused from testifying before any court in the state for the rea #on that he may thereby incrim- inate himself, but no t stimony so given by him shall be used in any prosecution against him for such offense, nor shall he prosecuted fnr any offense so closed by him."

Brodhead of New York and Lynn M Ranger of Boston. The summons issued by the trade commission results from an inquiry made to the commission a short time ago by President Coolidge as to whether some unfair practices vailed in the anthracite through the reconsignment of anthra- cite shipments so as to cause an un- nevesary increase in consumers’ costs. The president presented his inquiry as rsult of information brought to his by the federal coal of are: a attention mission The trade pre- | business executive proclamation declared a public emergency and cooperated with the federal fuel distributor. The state fuel commission of | Pennsylvania after investigation fixed com- | a price of $8.50 u gross ton at the mines as the maximum for the pre- pared sizes of anthracite, which might be charged by the larger min- ing companies operating what are known as “Company mines.” For the smaller or so-called independent operators whose producing costs were shown to be higher, higher prices were permitted. The Maderia, Hil™ and company, one of the independent operators was authorized to charge $10.50 for these prepared sizes. The trade commis- |slon in its complaint alleges that the firm although it had agreed to sell to the wholesalers at the maximum price of $10.50 actually soid at the invoies | price of $11.50 upon the secret eon: plaint explains that most of the an- | thracite is produced by a few operators and the remainder by cer- independent operators. large | bate a part commission in its com- | dition that the wholesalers when they had disposed of the coal would re- of the margin.
