BONE-DRY FOOD BILL CALLED TOO DRASTIC Dr. Austin O'Mallcy Believes Measure as Passed by House a Mistake A prntcHt ngalnst tho "licer and light wlno prohibition" In tho "dry clause" of tho Lever food control bill .tried by the House and pending In the Henalu was made today by Dr. Austin O'Malley. of 2228 South llroad stieet, author of the "Cure of Alcoholism." Coincident with the v!tr expressed by Cardinal Gibbons, Doctor O'Malley believes tho clause to bo too drastic nnd far-rench-Ins. ".lust now." he said, "I do not think the passage nf a incasuro calling for such a radical chango would be prudent I am for the prohibition of all distilled liquor. That point cannot bo too strongly emphasized, but I bellow nt tho present tlmo a gradual bringing about of a general prohibition would be tho wiser plan to follow This Is a tlmo when opposition nnd hard feeling should not bo unnecessarily crented. "Much hard feeling nnd discontent will be nroused If tho lid is clamped down on all drink nt tho present tlmo, and It would be far better to make a law prohibiting tho salo and maunfacture of whisky and to uso all means to havo that law obeyed than suddenly and arbitrarily to with draw all drink when such an act Is almost sure to cause evasions of dhe law. "I am ngalnst a prohibition of beer and light wine nt tho present time and I believe tho measure put through by the House to bo too darstlc." Doctor O'Malley has studied tho liquor question, In Italy, Frnnce, Kngland and Ilelglum and has been In correspondence with Cardinal Mcrcler In regard to alco holism In tho last mentioned country, PRICE OF POTATOES DROPS 50 CENTS MORE $2.50 Wholesale Cut in Last Three Days Not Yet Apparent in Retail Market A further drop today of fifty cents a barrel has lowered tho wholesale p..co of potatoes J2.B0 In the last three days. The city Is being supplied bo fast that the potatoes are not cleaning up. Forty-seven carloads from Virginia and five from North Carolina wero unloaded this morning; Jlfty flve aro still on the track ready to bo un loaded. On nccount of the heavy shipment of 158 carloads received yesterday the de mand today was light. Tho best Norfolks and North Carolinas are selling today for 7.00 a barrel. The retail price of potatoes was not appreciably affected yesterday or today by tho wholesale drop, but should go down to morrow. It generally takes several days before changes In the wholesale markets are reflected In the retail prices. The price of tomatoes has been rising steadily for the last ten days. The crop haa been exceedingly poor and tha demand has greatly exceeded the supply. Most of tho tomatoes now being received are of very poor quality. Many of today's ship ment of six carloads from Florida and Mississippi were soft and overripe. On ac count of bad weather conditions in Missis sippi, the prices are likely to stay high until the Jerseys start.

Public officials should issue no permits for the solo of fireworks or explosives of any kind. These officials should seize and rcmovo all fireworks or explosives kept or stored without a legal permit. There should be a campaign of publicity in harmony with the above suggestions instituted in every community. I call upon all publishers of nowspapcrs to support this proclamation by wise nows items nnd definite editorial advico to the people. I call upon all ministers, all patriotic officials, all soefctics thnt hove the love of this republic at heart to organize for a proper observance of the day, which observance should 'nclude addresses upon tho meaning nnd value of our country, the wrong of war nnd how they may bo avoided forever, tho true meaning of liberty, the reason for the right observnnco of the day and due recognition of the fact that the nation that forgets God shall perish. I call upon and counsel all citizens to give especial attention to the right caro nnd culture of children in all things that make for truo cl ''zcnship in this republic and to givo by example ns well as by counsel on jnusually fitting observance of the great anniversary. MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH. Harrishurg, June 2(5. Governor. BALDWIN DOCK OPENING BIG ADVANCE FOR PORT First Ship Laden to Carry Loco motives Direct From Eddystonc The opening today of the Immense dock of the Ualdwln Locomotlvo Works at Ed dystono marks the first step In contem plated lower river-front Improvements full of promise for the future of Philadelphia as a shipping cente' Tneso huge plnnts nre now on a direct Atlantic all-water rr.uto and aro served by three railroads' Within a short tlmo connection will be had with a fourth. Previously nil shipments from Kddy stonc to Hurope have been sent to New York or Philadelphia by freight nnd then placed on board ship. N'&w all goods will bo loaded at Kddystone directly on to the ship carrying them across the Atlantic. Owing to the urgent need of tho Allies and tho congested condition of shipping facili ties, the saving of tlmo and handling thus effected will be an Important one. This new dock Is situated nt the mouth of C'rum rrcek. a small stream flowing through the property of the Ilaldwin Loco motive Works. Its site, formerly mnrsh land, has been reclaimed at great cost. Hundreds of thousands of cubic feet wer required to fill it in to Its present level. It has been walled up with heavy concrete walls In front of which a thirty-foot channel has been dredged. On this dock Is the most modern of elec tric cranes, capable of carrying a load of fifty tons This is under absolute control of tho operator nnd handles entlro loco motives as readily as It does cases of shrapnel. At 2 p. m. today the first ship was loaded from this dock. It will carry a cargo of coal and locomotives to a foreign port Kour of these locomotives wero placed nboard the ship while In ballast. The coal was then loaded on top of tho locomotives, and the remainder ot the shipment then placed on tho coal. The locomotives are shipped com pletely assembled with the exception of tho wheels. Jl'ST THE BEGINNING This dock Is but the beginning of tho development contemplated by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, according to General Superintendent Sykes, who hns taken for his slogan, "Tho Dclwaro will bo tho Clyde of America." It Is planned to divert Crum creek from its course to ono that will bring It Into the Delaware several thousand yards abovo Its present mouth. To do so It will be necessary to move tho Kddystono Light house inland and somo distance further north. It is believed that tho Government will readily consent to this. Another huge dock will then be built Just above the present ono. This will more than double the loading facilities. Six of the largest ships can now be .loaded at once. By the time the new emergency merchant marine fleet is in commission it is planned to havo accommodations for the loading of flfteon ships. Following tho completion of the second dock, a largo tract of land further upstream will be developed. This Is now marsh land. Running from tho dock to the factories Is a private railway. This connects with the Chester branch of tho Heading Hall way, the Philadelphia, Baltlmoro and Washington Railway, the Baltimore and Ohio end the proposed new Industrial waterfriint road of the Pennsylvania Rail road, which will parallel tho present Read ing line Right of way has been obtained for this new branch and work will be start, ed on It In tho near future. When these Improvements havo been completed no fac tory In the world will have superior ship ping facilities, and It will no longer be necessary to divert the output of these large factories to other ports. Philadelphia Is well on the way toward being the port It should be. MORE LAND FOR BALDWIN'S Locomotivo Company Purchases 200 Acres at Eddystono The Baldwin Locomotive Works has pur chased two large tracts of land north of tho company's plant at Eddystone, accord-log- to an announcement made today.

DECREE FOR MRS. BETZ; ALIMONY $27,000 A YEAR Court Makes Only Small Reduc tion in Amount Master Recommended President Judgo Brcgy and Judge Tat terson, of Court of Common Pleas No. 1, today approved tho master's report Tn tho suit for divorce by Hmma G. BeU against John V. Betz, 3d, and granted n divorce a mensaet thoro (from bed nnd board), at the same time sustaining the exceptions to the recommendation of the matter that the husband be ordered to pay his wife 1,10.000 a year alimony nnd fixing the mount of nll mony to be paid at $2:50 per month $27 000 a year. The respondent is a grandson of the founder of the John V. Betz Brewing Com pany, from whom he received In gifts and later inherited hlB present estnte, nmountlng to approximately $2,000,000, It was declared by Cornelius Haggerty, Jr., and Congressman John R. K Scott that Bctz's Income amounts to more than $91,000 a year, nnd that he has been spending virtually all of this by Indulging in such luxuries as a private yacht which cost $65,000 and maintaining no fewer than five automobiles and several airplanes. They argued that the recommendation of tho master, William A. Carr, Esq., that Betz be ordered to pay $30,000 a year alimony to his wife, who has their two children under her care, was fair and Just, being only one-third of his Income. The case was argued yesterday on exceptions to the amount of alimony by former Dis trict Attorney P. P. Rothermel. Jr., rep resenting Betz.
