THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. TUESDAY, JAN. 22, 1918.
I THINK LITTLE. OSWALD LOOK LIKE Hit MOTHER - RAILROADS ARE STILL HAMPERED BY BAD WEATHER WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Large supplies of coal were moving freely to eastern householders and trans-Atlantic shipping Interests today as the result of the fuel administration's closing order, but clearing of the railroad congestion still was hambered by unavoidable weather conditions. With manufacturing plants east of the Mississippi facing the fifth day of the shutdown and reports here indicating that the first heatless Monday had been strictly observed, fuel administrator Garfield declined to say whether an extension of the closing order would be necessary. "We will not cross that bridge until we come to it," Dr. Garfield said, "there will still be the nine remaining Monday holidays. Results of the operations of the closing order have been fully up to our expectations insofar as the weather permitted." The fuel administrator also pointed out that Washington's birthday, which falls on Friday was taken into consideration by the administration, when Monday was selected for the closing day. Since many plants give a Saturday half-holiday, officials expect another day shut-down in February. Reports here said New York already had on hand enough coal to fill the bunkers of fifty vessels loaded with supplies for the American army and the allies and more than a hundred ships in Hampton Roads were being coaled rapidly. The heavy movement of coal has taxed tug and barge facilities heavily and plans to commandeer tugs if necessary, are being considered by the shipping board. Officials, who recently sought a railroad embargo on general freight as a means of relieving congestion deeclared again that this step would have to be taken or non-essentials denied transportation if the freight tangle is to be straightened out. Director-General McAdoo declined to order the embargo it -was learned, despite its recommendation by the war conference board. RESTORE ALSACE ARGUES HARDEN j j AMSTERDAM, Jan. 22 Germany i should not take any territory from the Tinssinn pirmirm and mieht. eive 1 hark Alsace-Lorraine to France. Max-! imilian Harden declares in Die Zukunft. He says: "He who wishes to tear away Poland, Courland. Lithuania, Esthonia and Livonia from the Russian empires, makes of this empire a mortal enemy, for Russia will not always have Leninistic feelings. These countries would bring us no advantage. Their economic developmeut could not in the least be helped by gold fertilization by Germany with its one hundred and fifty billion marks of war debt and a Slavic strain through Germany would endanger the life of the country, not merely the life of east Prussia. After our experience in the west is there now to be created a much greater and more dangerous Alsace-Lorraine?" With regard to Alsace-Lorraine, Herr Harden writes: "Neither Premier Lloyd-George nor President Wilson believe Germany is willing to surrender Alsace-Lorraine to France at the present moment, but what about Germany's attitude two or three years after peace is signed when there can be a fair consultation with the jeople? It was admittedly a mistake to take possession of Alsace-Lorraine. Must we always carry this burdensome inheritance of our forefathers? We are strong enough to be our own masters and to cease to be trammelled by errors of the past." SNOW COVERS EAST WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 Snow was falling today throughout the eastern half of the country north of Georgia and promised to tie up the country's transportation systems as badly as they were before the beginning of the five-day industrial shutdown, designed to aid the railroads in clearing their lines of congested traffic and to place coal in communities suffering from the severe cold. From the New England states southward along the Atlantic coast to Georgia and extending inland to the Mississippi river the storm rages. It began during the nght and the snow fell steadily in most sections. Weather bureau officials said it would continue j tonight. A $200,000 coal washer will be built by the Republic Iron & Steel Co., Sayreton. Ala., concrete and steel construction having been adopted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. An administration bill, giving President Wilson broad powers to fix prices of food and other commodities essential to the government's war preparations or for domestic consumption was in the hands of Chairman Lever, of the agrii cultural committee today for introducj tion in the house.

Representative Lee of Georgia, Candler, Mississippi. Democrats, and Haugen Iowa, and Mc Laughlin, Michigan.

The president, in his annual message to congress, gave notice that he would ask for such authority and administration officials are known to favor price regulation in iron, steel, oil and cotton, as well as food both for war purposes and the public. More U. S. Aviators Have Began Work in France WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Monday, Jan. 21. By The Associated Press.

CAMPAIGN FOR DOGS STARTED WRIGHTSTOWN, N. J., Jan. 22. Thousands of lives can be saved in France by army dogs and homing pigeons, said Major General Scott, commander of camp Dix, in starting a campaign yesterday for those of these battle front auxiliaries. He urged patriotic citizens in New York, New Jersey and Delaware, who have Belgian police dogs, German sheep dogs, or Airdale terriers, to turn over these dogs to him for training. He also said breeders or owners of homing pigeons could do their "bit" by permitting these birds to be used by the government in maintaining communication between the infantry and artillery in battle front work. At present, there is no appropriation in the war budget for the purchase of either dogs or piegons, Major General Scott added.
ALLEGED SPY, CHARGED WITH ARSON ATTEMPT, PUZZLE TO U. S.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Walter Sporemann, in jail at Baltimore on a charge of having attempted to explode a powder store-house at Fort Monroe Ya., is a puzzle to the government) authorities. There is doubt as to whether Sporemann should be tried as an arch-spy or simply interned as an alien enemy. Department of justice officials are said to lean to the theory that the prisoner can be charged with no greater crime than that of being an alien enemy. Secretary of the Navy Daniels, however, believes the case against Sporemann a serious one and is insisting that it be not dealt lightly w-ith until the evidence gathered by the navy intelligence bureau is weighed. Department of justice officials now deny the stories of Sporemann's alleged connection with former Ambassador Bernstorff and Captain BoyEd, which were circulated after search of the youth's room in Baltimore. Early stories following his arrest attempted to make him out a master spy in the employ of the German government and who was landed from the U-53 with large sums of money for the compensation of his confederates. Photographs of Sporemann have been sent to all offices of the secret service in the country, to department of justice officials, police and military intelligence bureaus. The arrest was made by Lieut. Fred Dorton, in charge of the naval bureau at Baltimore. Lieutenant Dorton claims Sporemann was caught by a sentry near the powder storehouse In the act of lighting a match. Sporemann, Dorton claims, was wearing a United States officer's uniform and fled when challenged by the sentry. Mrs. F. H. C. Sporemann, sister-in-law of the prisoner, said at her home in Baltimore that Walter had come from Germany in 1910 and lived at their home for a time.

IT EEMTO ME Ti TAKING A, LONCi TIME TO 6T THAT Cv4tt r . PRETZ-EUt j GOALLESS DAYS REDUCE SHIPS IN NEW YORK PORT NEW YORK, Jan. 22. In the fat of the worst ice jam in New York bar bor In many years, encouraging head way had been made in coaling ship! during the five fuelleBs days, ending today. A week ago, there were 213 ships tied up at docks, while earlj today there were but 110. Thirteet large steamships were supplied wlta bunker coal yesterday and transports tion officials expected that many mor Bteamers would be bunkered befon night. Veteran harbor men say they can' not remember a time when the ic menace here was so great. The lc flows average 200 square feet, jarm ming the shore line of Brooklyn, Man hattan and Staten Island. Two larg trans-Atlantic liners spent four hours crushing through ice ten inches thici before gangplanks could be put out, The Hudson and East rivers are filled with floating ice cakes. The ice conditions also have seriously hampered the movement of coa! to this city in barges from tidewater. Fuel administrators were disappoint ed because of the comparativelj small tonnage of coal received during "heatless Monday," but attributed th deficiency largely to the unusua! weather conditions. Eighty-two tugj crippled by the ice are tied up at drj docks. In spite of an unexpected setback, due to a misunderstanding of orders, whereby thousands of truckmen stop i ped work at noon j esterday. Som progress was noticed in relieving th freight congestion. Transportation of ficials anticipate marked improvement in the next few days, unless sever weather disarranges carefully mad plans. Many of the city's Industries resumed business today, having been closed on the first of the "heatless and workless" Mondays, but a large army of wage earners had another day of enforced idleness, in obedience to the orderB of the national fuel administration. Local fuel administrators expressed themselves as well pleased with the results obtained by yesterday's shutdown. The number I of violations reported was much j smaller than was predicted, j The theatres and other amusement leged to remain open yesterday, felt the pinch of the order today when they were forced to close. SHOE STORES WILL BE CLOSED EARLY Richmond shoe store owners Tees day decided to close an hour earlier than usual, beginning Wednesday, to aid in conserving coal. They will also be closed an hour earlier on Sat' urday night. Walter Sporemann "Walter a master spy? He hasn't brains enough," she said. Another woman In the case is MiiB May Stoops, a violinist who is playing In local hotels. She is engaged, to marry Sporemann. She protests that he is innocent of any connection with Berlin so far as 6he knows, but says she will repudiate him if the evidence justifies the charges against him. It was through Sporemann's love for the violinist that he was traced from Ealtimore to Washington and finally arrested in Newport News. Interception of mail to ber disclosed Sporemann In the employ of a contractor at Langley aviation field.
