Pabst remarked, that the 'robber fish barons are worse than the coal barons'' when it comes to mulcting the public. It also reveals that patriotism is but an empty phrase to the man who, works for his own pocket all the time. In fact patriotism is a profitable thing to trade on if you happen to be a fish man with the commercial spirit and meatless days coming around. Then you show your love of country by "soaking" it to the patriot. But, let Dr.

Pabst tell the story. The doctor went down to the Cholera Banks two days ago with the early morning fishermen and caught a twenty-five pound cod. It would have made a good many codfish steaks for the family. "I took it home and we talked it over," said Dr. Pahst.

"I decided that a fish like that might feed forty people or more, so we forbore to cut it up and got In touch with Dr. Henry Moskowitz, Commissioner of Markets, who suggesed that I let the St. Vin Put Suspects at Seems Likely.

S. Attorney John CJ Knox that they were German Re servists, and had for months prece4 ing their arrest been employed onj many of the river piers.

It; has been determined by the secret Service forces and the New York lice that th President's proclamation, barring alien enemies from the riven front zones shall not be treated as dead letter. The three were taken before Knox, who ordered them to Ellis Isl-land. Mr. Knox indicated that he believed it likely that the State and Federal authorities would shortlv' made up of those who are so poor that they cannot buy even the necessities of life, so they must depend on charity.

The "coal line" consists of people who have money to buy fuel, who in many instances offer any price for it. but who cannot get it, for there is no coal to be had. The "coal line" begins to form about 7 o'clock or sometimes as early as 6:30. It includes mothers and fathers of large families, apartment house owners, men and women of small means, men and women of large or comfortable means. They are often insistent, pleading.

Sometimes the women have tears in their eyes when they are told to return the next day. It is the early bird that catches the coal these times. If a dealer gets a boat load or less in the morning it Is snapped up quickly as a hungry hound snaps up a piece of meat. In a few hours, maybe less, the thirty, forty or fifty tons doled out to the dealer who in normal times would get 150 or 200 tons is all gone and the fuel-hungrv must wait until another allotment ar rives. There are nearly five months of winter weather ahead and dealers say frankly that unless the activity at the mines increases and the supply, now about 33 per cent, of the norma), grows in volume there is going to be trouble just as soon as heavy snow nad bitter cold weather strike 5,000 Bid Them Godspeed as Train Leaves L.

There was not even half a ton for him. Very foten the would-be pur-chasor presents a physician's certificate certifying that there is somebody ill in the house.

Of course where thereis sickness the dealer bends every effort to see that such a household is served as quickly as possible. Some times the plea that there is somebody ill at home has no basis in fact but the dealer has no time to investigate and he has to take the caller's word for it. He cannot go back of the story such as that told by one small boy who appeared with a $10 bill wrapped in a piece of paper and said: "Phase, mama says we must have a ton of coal. My two sisters are sick in bod." There was no coal when the boy paid his visit but the family got some the next day. AiNirtment House Owner's Pica.

Among the visitors to the Bacon coal otilce today was one apartment house owner who pleaded that the tenants set him "crazy" and agitatedly ended with the statement that unless he got coal right away he would be "in the soup."

It had been expected that the new cars would be in operation before the end of the present month, but Mr. Menden declares that the company had found it impossible to complete certain structural work necessary to permit of the operation of the big cars.

"It will be several weeks," he said, "before the necessary changes to the elevated structure at Wycoff avenue station on the Myrtle avenue line can be completed sufficiently to permit of the operation of the all-steel cars over the Broadway-Myrtle avenue route to Metropolitan avenue. Some other work remains to be done, including changes at the Fresh Pond station, and the removal of the platform edges in the Center street subway. Delay In Delivery of Plates. Mr. Menden stated that there had been a delay in the delivery of angle plates which are to be used to extend the edges of the platform of the wooden cars after the station platform edges have been removed in the loop subway.

He said these platform edges were now in transit to this city. "I am sure," said Mr. Menden, "tho steel cars will begin late in January or early in February." Engineer, Menden believes that it will be possible to begin all-steel car operation ais far as Manhattan Junction on thei Broadway-Myrtle avenue line. On ihe other hand, the operation of the! new cars to Cypress Hills and Canarsie will not be possible for many months, he thinks. That the placing in operation of steel cars between Manhattan pnd East New York would result in an addition of from 25 to 30 per cent.

Lewis today appeared before Justice Faber in the Supreme Court and vigorously opposed a reduction in the bail of $25,000 which is holding Gaetano Mig-gliaccio in jail as a material witness in the double murder case, one of the chain of twenty-three unsolved murders, in connection with which Ralph Danielo, Lefty Esposito and others have been indicted for murder Jn the first degree. Miggllaccio, who is In the importing and grocery business, lives at 39 Spring street, Manhattan, and owns much Brooklyn property, appeared with his attorney, John Oliva, who asked that the bail be reduced to a sum he could furnish.

"We have had great difficulty in getting convictions In Italian murder One of the largest crowds that has witnessed a draft send-oft tn Brooklyn during the present war appeared this morning at the Carlton avenue yards of the Long Island Railroad to watch 689 men from Boards Noa. 36 to 48 inclusive, entrain for Camp Upton.

As the national anthem was played the gathering, estimated at more than 6,000 persons? uncovered and stood at attention. Although the crowd was a big one it was very quiet and the women present outnumbered the men two to one. Every man in the "draft special" seemed happy at the prospect of getting nearer "the front."

The young man who opened the office of J. M.

Bacon's coal yard at Reid avenue and DeKalb, today at 6:30 o'clock, found several people in line. Beiore 7 o'clock there were ten people waiting. They all wanted coal at once. Some of them were be-shawled women, some were from the congested sections of the town and some were from the better neighborhoods. Quite a few produced rolls of bills and said they would pay at once.

"We cannot lake your money," was the invariable reply. "We have no coal to sell you, and it would not be fair to accept the money under the circumstances. Be here early tomorrow." One of the early ones who appeared later when an Eagle reporter heard her story was Mrs. Albert Lindsey of 13 Cornelia street.

Danielo, who has confessed to murder In twenty instances, six of them in Brooklyn, told this man Miggliaccio in his presence that he was present and saw the double killing which is the subject of indictments, and this man would not even aid the authorities by admitting he knew anything about it. "These murders grew out of the fefud between the Neapolitans and the Sicilians as a result of their rivalry in the merchandising business. This is the beginning of the work of one of these societies to get all these men out of jail." "It impressed me that $25,000 bail is very high bail in view of the fact that this man is not accused of committing a crime," said Justice Faber. "Your honor has no idea of the vast fund which these Italian organizations have at their disposal for the portec-tion of their members in just such cases as this. This witness has shown no inclination to help the authorities in the slightest degree.

The bail should be a million dollars. In fact, there should be no bail at all." "This man is in the importing business," said Lawyer Oliva. "He is not a gangster. He is a family man and his oldest daughter is now in court. He owns property here and in Manhattan and he tells me his equities, in them amount to $15,000." "The statement that he is in the importing business appeals to your honor," the District Attorney replied, "but this man is a member of one band that has been at war with another as a result of the rivalry in a certain line of business." "I shall take the matter under advisement and decide later in the day," said Justice Faber.

Miggliaccio was taken back to jail. LOST Brlndle BULL DOG. with screw tail. anBwere to namo of Ted. Reward, 1723 Albemarle road.

Washington, December 6 An order is being issued by the Postofflce Department this week, prohibiting the sending by Alanhattan merchants of large bundles of mail by employees who live in Brooklyn and having them deposited in the Brooklyn Postofflce for delivery, so as to be able to make use of the two-cent postage rate instead of 3. Word has reached Washington that many Manhattan merchants have been doing this and the postofflce will issue a specific order against it. Some time ago the Postofflce Department issued an order prohibiting the sending of mall by merchants to suburban towns of New York by employees, and having it deposited for local delivery at the rate of 2 cents for each ounce. Now the department will stop the same thing being done with regard to Brooklyn.

One, a little boy, was with her. It Is not an uncommon thing for the women to take their children with them when thay go to the coal yards. They seem to feel that the sight of the little ones will hasten the delivery of coal. When Mrs. Cohn was told to return she gave a sigh and shrugged her shoulders.

Many of these people are unable to understand that the coal dealer is doing the best he knows how to relieve the situation. They seem to think that he has coal and is selling to favored ones. As a matter of fact the dealers are serving their old customers first but even the customers of years standing must wait their turn. Mrs. Lindsey was one of these.

Washington, December 6 Representative Swift of Brooklyn has introduced a bill in the 'House similar to the one introduced in the Senate by Senator Calder, concerning the making of the Greater City of New York one postal zone.

Mr. Swift's bill is in the form of an amendment to the. Revenue Act. He wants the net amended so that the term "drop letter" shall apply to any letter of first-class mailed within, and for delivery within, any part of the territorial limits of any incorporated city of the United States. This would not' only make a letter mailed in Brooklyn for delivery in Manhattan and vice ven come under the L'-cent ruie, but would apply to a number 01 other cities of the country as well.

In case Congress fails to pass the 2-cent postage for Xew York City, it is believed here that the President will be by the Postollice Department to issue an executive order making Greater New York on postal district. Senator ('abler arid other members of Congress from Brooklyn are against this, becav.se it would make Brooklyn a sub-s a on of Manhattan and place Pes. Burton of Brooklwi in the position of Deputy Postmaster to Postmaster Patten of Manhattan. In order to forestall the Issuance of an executive order. Senator Calder and the members of tho House from Brooklyn, are going to put forth a concerted effort to have Senator Calder's bill passed UNCLE SAM PLANNING BIG program of balloon observations in France.
