To bo frank. It looked like n saloon petition for another location with the title pago torn off and tho names thus sub stituted for the petition for Sixtieth street and Lansdowno avenuo. "In case of such a petition as this. It seems to me that a self-respecting court would have called tho lawyer boforo the oourt and have asked him It ho had ex amined It before making tho presentation. "There Bhould bo a chance for tho disbar ment of any lawyer presenting such a peti tion. Tho names wero gathered from all over the city on Woodland avonue, around Sixtieth and Market streets, In tho Tender loin, In Kensington and along tho water front The attempt to put nsldo this ro monstranco Is a blight on the courts it Philadelphia."

BiailT TKARS OF BATTLK The fight against the granting of a license at the Sixtieth (street corner has lasted eight years. Petitions of protest have been signed by thousands of residents, door bell campaigns have been waged, and the proposed license transfer has been stormed against from West Philadelphia pulpits. The transfer was grantod some time ago by Judges Barratt and Davis. It aroused euch a furore among the residents that the two Judges decided to hold a rehoarlng of the case, which was dona, Announcement was made last night that Judges 'Barratt and Davis had decided again In favor of granting the transfer. The fight has ended thus with a victory for the liquor forces. Judge Barratt wrote the opinion handed down yesterday. In commenting on the de cision, Judge Davis said: "Both Judge Barratt and I went out to West Phlladel phla to get first-hand Information concern ing the neighborhood, "We had been led to believe that It was an excluijve residential neighborhood, but our Visit changed our pplnlon. We found many stores there, and the neighborhood is developing Into a veritable llttlo business center."

Hero are somo of the remedies which early arrivals nt tho capital havo sug gested, and which they say thoy will push In resolutions to be Introduced: An embargo on oil foodstuffs A law compelling those who otoro foodstuffs for speculate e purposes to dlspoBo of ten per cent of their hold ings ovcry thirty dnye, nt prevailing prices. Investigation of tho entire riuestlon of high prices, cither by the Federal Trado Commission or n special Joint congressional committee which will rocommend legislation suggested by Its findings That tho President and his Cabinet will strongly favor the last suggestion Senators nnd ltoprosontntlvcs say Is a foregone con clusion. The President has discussed tho high cost of living with his Cablnot ad visors, and ho Is taking deep interest In tho work of tho postoftlco, commcrco and agriculture departments along this lino. Tho embargo Idea, besides having Repre sentative Fltzgorald, Now York, to lead It, will havo tho strong backing of many other Congressmen. Representative Jeff McLemoro said today ho would favor It, and that ho had Inter viewed or hoard by mall from many othera who would do tho same Howovor, no food embargo will bo estab lished without a bitter legislative fight Many urban representatives aro expected to line, up for It but representatives from rura'l districts havo announced thoy will fight It to tho last Republican Minority Leader Mann and Representative Borland, Missouri, both with strong followlngs, bo llove nn ombargo Is not what Is wanted If Representative MoLcmoro thinks a food embargo will fall of passage ho will strongly urgo a check on storugo specu lators Borland wants a congressional or Federal trado commission Investigation. MRS. NEW YORK HAPPY; FOOD PRICES DECLINE NHW YoniC, Nov 30 Militant Mrs New York Bat down to her Thanksgiving dinner flushod with tho success of her first real battle with tho high cost of Hlng Nearly ovcry commodity which went Into tho annual feast toduy was cheaper priced because of her militancy. Turkeys, which a week ago were selling nt forty-threo to forfy-flvo and oven fifty cents a pound, were quoted today at thirty two to thlrty-flve, and fow wero being taken at that price Tho long-troddtn worm, tho ultimate consumer, has turned. Hggs have dropped four cents a dozen In tho two days that tho clty-wlde boycott has been made In effect, and It Is probable there ulll bo further reduction before tho two- week boycott has expired Wholesalers will lose thousands of dollars as a result of New York's Indlfferonco ns to whothor It hod tur koy or chicken for Its Thanksgiving dinner Many dealers will put their birds bopk Into cold storage and wait for tho Christmas trade, but this is costly because of storngo charges nnd shrinkage Restaurants havo oomo to the aid of tho egg boycott. One Chambers stroot placo printed a menu whloh contained "eggs boy cotted " Othor restaurants publicly dis played signs advising patrons to abstain from eggs. RETAIL PRICES OF FOOD UP 16 PER CENT IN YEAR WASHINGTON, Nov 30 Opposition to the embargo on food products proposed by Representative Fitzgerald, of Now York, was expressed by Minority Leader Mann, ot Illinois, nnd Representative Borlnml, ot Missouri, who made a long though unsuccessful fight nt the last session of Congress for an Investigation of control of meat prices by the so-called "beef trust." The Republican ledder declared that nn embargo for regulation of prlcos would In dicate a drift toward socialism, for Gov ernment regulation of food prices would lead to Government regulation of many other things Only nn embargo for retal iatory purposes would bo acceptable, he said, and for that there Is no apparent need nt this time. Mr. Borland proposes to combat tho high prices of food by an Investigation of the alleged "food trust," either by tha Federal Trade Commission or p. congressional com mittee. A resolution to no urged by Mr Borland at the coming session of Congress will provide tor an Investigation of the cold storage plants and the extent to which they ara used by speculators. Retail prices of foods In the United States as a whole advanced threo per cent from September IS to October 16, making a six teen per cent increase for twelve months, as shown In reports compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics The figures came from 725 retail dealers tn forty-five principal Industrial cities. In the thirty days covered In the reports meats declined In price from one to six per cent but all other articles given, except tea, oonee anu rice, advanced rrom one per cent for chickens to six per cent for butter, bread and sugar, and eleven per cent for .eggs.

Governor Will Urge Strict Insurance Laws Conthmrd from I'nrn One ment that any cltlzon of this Commonwealth Is entitled to" If present Insuranca laws nro Inadequate, Governor Brumbaugh said that evil will be corrected. Ho smiled when ho remarked that he became the owner of a policy many years ago when ho was n btruggllng school teacher , "And I wasn't earning a largo salary In those days," said the Governor. "I remem ber how I saved my money for tho day whon collections on premiums becamo duo I can Just Imagine how policyholders would feel If they felt thnt their fcavlngs becamo Impaired." The Governor In his Interview said that ho has been giving tho question of creating better Insurance laws careful considera tion nnd had decided to touch upon that feature In his message to tha next legis lature WILL URGE CORRECTIVES 'If our existing Insurance laws are not ndequnte and do not protect the man who buys Insurance, I nm certainly in favor of any enactment that will make his In vestment safe," said the Governor. "My message to the legislature when It recqnvenes will contain something on tho question of protecting oui citizens who Invest their savings In Insurance policies "Pon't you feel that In view of certain facts disclosed In the Investigation of Com missioner O'Nell Into tho affairs of two Insuranca companies licensed under the laws of Pennsylvania., nn Investigation should be made of Insurance conditions In this State? "I have explicit faith In Commissioner O'Nell," replied the Governor. "Ho Is a capable man, and I feel confident that his department Is qualified to cope with the situation But, should the facts warrant It, I am In favor of asking the Legislature for such an Investigation. I ngreo with Mr Scnrlet that such an Investigation Is In the province of the Legislature." "Don't you think that Charles Evans Hughes Is the sort ot a man to conduct such an Investigation?" "I agree with Mr. Scarlet that Mr. Hughes would unquestionably qualify for euch an Investigation. But In the State of Pennsylvania wo have many eminent men who undoubtedly could also perform the same service. You must admit that we ha7e many native sons In Pennsylvania who possess tha ability to perform the kind of service for which Mr Hughes Is fitted," Governor Brumbaugh added again that he was keenly interested In seeing that policyholders were protected to the full ex. tent of tha Insurance laws.
