Statement From the Chamber A statement from the Chamber of t Commerce reads : "If orders for merchandise which nre being held for one reason or another were given out, contracts were awarded and necessary repairs to properties made at this time, millions of dollars' worth of business would give an ImpctUB to many lines of trade anil thousands of people would be given employment within the next thirty dnys. "For those reasons these slogans have been adopted in the, campaign! to obtain work for tho idle: "Iluy ndwt" 'Repair your properties I" Give out your contracts!"

KABER REFUSES FOOD Slayer of Husband Offers $6000 Bribe to Matron at Reformatory Marysvlllc. O., Hcpt. 15. (By -A. P.) Following the dlbcovcry of nn alleged nttempt to escape from the State Reformatory for Women here, Mrs. Knthcritie Knber. who is serving a life ncntencc for the murder of her husband, n wealthy Cleveland publisher, was reported yesterday by reformatory officials to have Instituted a four-day hunger strike ten days ago, when the alleged plot was discovered. Mrs. Knbcr has been placed in soli tary confinement. Mrs. Louise Mitten dorf, superintendent of the reformatory, announced that the conspiracy was dis covered when she intercepted letters written to Mrs. Kaber by Mlrs Marian McArdlc, her daughter, who is in a Cleveland jail awaiting trial for com plicity in the murder. According to Mrs. Mlttendorf. Mrs. Kaber smuggled out two letters through the aid of a sewing room matron, to a ".Mr. Sademan," of New York, and an unknown person In Cleveland, plotting n jail delivery in which Mrs. Kaber was to make cood her csennc. The con spiracy provided that violence, even the muruer oi airs, .uittcnuorl and her husband was to have been used if necessary. PLAN TIGHTER REIN LIQUOR IMPORTS have been little short of a scandal, officials declare. Even the clause permitting certain wines to bo admitted for sacramentnl purposes apparently has been abused. In the first seven months of last year wily 08,075 gallons of wine were ad mitted for this ostensible purpose, while in the same seven months this year i some 000,231 gallons have beeri admit- ., ,. , ted. Officials declare It is out of rca- 'for ReiieiOUS son that there should be any such legit imate increase in trie, ucmnmi tor tuc purposes permitted under the law. In addition there were wines of other descriptions admitted by the tens of thousands of cases on legal permits for BnAnlflfi tMlHnAMAM 111 h m tM mm a nndf j. nifvuuiu ;uij"ivn va viiu iti iii B"'f yu v f bKMITS ARE UVtrl-WUrmnU of whicli probably went to the cmbas mich, which lire illinium: irum me p hlbltlon law, some 24,000 gallons n Demand for Wine Purposes" Ha3 Increased Tenfold in Year trouble Is believed here to He In the loose regulations regarding the Ihsmi nncc of permits, nnd It Is this situa tion that the prohibition offlco 1ms at tempted to meet by new and stringent regulations.

New regula tions' covering V'the Importation of liquors nnd wines Into the United States on permits for "legal" purposes have been laid before the Secretary of the Treasury and nro expected to be promulgated within the , next two weeks. A recent Incident In New York, when a dock was found plied high with cases of Scotch whisky brought Into the coun try on legal permits, is said to have brought tho importation situation to a head and got tho prohibition commis sioner's office busy drafting new rules. Supposedly little "hooch" or wine was to come Into the United Stales after It went dry, only a trifle for mediclno an da trlflle moro of wine for sncramental purposes. But on top of the widespread bootlegging of whisky from Canada and the Bahamas and Mexico, even the legal Importations I WJr W Not for many years have prices of boys' and girls' shoes been m a W Low as then are at Hallahans today.
