WEDNESDAY EVENING, SPROUL NAMES NEW MEN ON SERVICE BOARD Magee and Ryan Are Let Out in the Appoint ments KL: A ° ADJUTANT GENERAL BEARY Governor Sproul yesterday sent to the Senate the names of Judge H. N. McClure of Lewisburg; Sidney Ray .Shelby, of Unlontown, and Sam uel M. Clement, Jr., of Philadelphia, to be public service commissioners. They will fill ono existing vacancy and take the places of Commission er Miehael J. Ryan, of Philadelphia, and William A. Magee of Pittsburgh. McClure is at present a member of the sommission, having been ap pointed by Governor Brumbaugh and Shelby lias been law partner of Senator Crow, Republican state chairman, since 1907. He is a native of Uniontown and is 4 3 years old. He is a graduate or Washington and Jefferson College and Harvard Law School. Clement is a Philadelphia lawyer who figured prominently in 1 lie Capitol graft cases and conies from an old famill* of that city. He is aged 4 7 and is well known. Clement's term will expire July t. 1921; MeCll're's term July 1, 1923, and Shelby'itSJuly l, 1928. At Hie same time the Governor announced the reappointment of Ad jutant. General Frank D. Beary and! Fish Commissioner N. R. Buller. Adjutant General Beary was ap-t pointed to that office by Governor .IRaimJiaugh following the death of Adjutant General Stewart. For many years previous lie had been deputy adjutant genera] and as such was thoroughly familiar with Na-| tional Guard organization of the ■state. Upon his shoulders fell tliej important duty of replacing the old I National Guard regiments with the] Reserve Militia and he did his work so quickly and so well under diffl-! cult conditions that when the men; turned out for their first annual en-| campment last July they behaved] like Guardsmen of .years experience.) His feat of equipping the Guard with ) tents, blankets, guns, shoes, uni forms, motor transports and all the! other accouterments required for a modern military unit was accom plished at a time when the markets' were all shot to pieces by war con-! ditions and done in record time and] at a reasonable cost to the state. Mr. Bulfcr who resides in Mt. Pleasant has been State Fish Com missioner since 1911 when he was first appointed by Governor Tener| Mr. Buller is an expert in fish cul ture. He lias been engaged in that lino of work ever since he left school in 1871 and was employed at the old Donegal Fish Hatchery. He is well and favorably known through out the state and under his direc tion there has been much improve ment in the trout and bass streams of Pennsylvania to say nothing of smaller varieties of fish, such as blue gills and catfish. He has done much for the fisheries of Lake Erie to protect them from the fish deal ers of other states. Recently he has planted many trout in the vicinity of Jlarrisburg! He has the confidence of the fishermen of the state who look upon him not only us an expert hut as one who sympathizes with the sportsman and desires sincere ly to see the fish protected and given opportunity to increase, at the same time giving the iingler all the privi leges possible. The hold up of the Buller and Beary confirmations by Senator Eyre ! is believed to he only temporary, i The commissioners were confirmed. 1 CAR AMY AUTO COLLIDE The lender of VTne street <ar No 830 was torn off in a peculiai' acci dent shortly after noon to-day.

A book writ ten by Admiral Viscount Jellicoe, the former commander of the British Grand Fleet, which will appear to-day, gives the cause of the sinking of the British cruiser Hampshire, on which Lord Kitch ener lost his life. Admiral Jellicoe explains thalt the ** Hampshire struck a German moored mine, which had been laid by a sub marine. The book contains revelations of British unpreparedness at the DB 1 ' ginning of the war. The Grand Fleet had to run out of harbor sev eral times because submarines were reported inside. Admiral Jellicoe says he avoided night action with his big ships off Jutland because the Briti3t> searchlights and lire controls were defective. He recommends a greater superiority of all classes of vessels than in 1914. . Deaths and Funerals MISS SISAX MAIJER Miss Susan Mader, aged 71 years, died yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Mary E. Kinnard, 1118 North Third street.

FOOD PRICES ARE BOOSTED TOO HIGH [Conlinaod from First Page.] markes him a flat offer, perhaps for the pliole product. When secured he may merely step across the aisle and resell it at profit to another farmer. He is the prime manipu lator of prices for he says to a farmer: "Hold on to sevent cents for your eggs to-day." To show his judgment he buys at sixty and does actually sell at seventy cents. Inspector Nebinger has also dis covered another medium employed to "soak" the consumer, but the blame in this case rests rather on the consumer. "You know," he re lated, "many housekeepers in Har risburg are provided with a con venient telephone. The lady of the house has the habit of reaching out from her couch and calling up her grocer and ordering him to do the marketing. The grocer, thus be comes a factor, and naturally his operation means more to the con sumer and is a feature in boosting prices." What most stirs the City Inspector is that on visiting Lancaster mar kets last week he recognized some fifty Harrisburgers, many of whom are railroad employes and Jiave passes, doing their marketing down there. Ife also ogled a big number of Philadelphians who cdme all the way to Lancaster for foodstuffs be cuuseMt is cheaper there than any where else, reason for this being that Lancaster drove out the broker huckster. Mr. Nebinger puts up the fore stalling evil direct to the City Coun cil with the following, presented in his report yesterday: "Prompt ac tion should be taken to overcome and a stop to it, as it makes it almost impossible for the consum ers to get the benefits they should, due to the fact that these dealers who are guilty of forestalling buy up and resell at an advance that which should in all fairness be sold direct to the consumer." Nebinger did not start this drive until he satisfied himself by a min ute investigation of the situation. He discovered that Lan caster has the biggest curb market in this country; 400 farmers gath ering on the open street. He vis ited York and to-day said: "Two weeks ago at York perfect fresh eggs were selling for forty-two cents per dozen, while they were charg ing seventy cents in Harrisburg, and tli6 eggs here were questionable. I found dozens of Harrisburgers down at York buying eggs, and made up my mind there was something rot ten, even if it was not the egg, in Harrisburg." Nebinger to-day received from Lancaster a copy of its municipal ordinance which did away with the precise nuisance which is hand cuffing the Harrisburg markets. The ordinance prohibits the "buying or contracting for any goods or pro visions on the way to the markets of Lancaster; prohibits persons from dissuading others from bringing their goods or provisions to said markets; prohibits persons from persuading others to nehancep rices of goods or provisions: prohibits the buying of goods or provisions in the markets and reselling same; pro vides penalties for all violations." This is why Harrisburg goes to market at lamcaster. The Ne.blnger drive includes a revival of the curb market in Har risburg, In Kelker street, between Third and Fifth streets. Sat urday one lone farmer showed up. He was the first to respond and is the last. The farmers who did have provisions there complained that their help had been called into war duties, but this one man stuck. Buyers, however, are plenty, 400 be ing there last market day, Tuesday morning, and the demand is strong for a great curb market as at Han caster. That city gets a good profit from this activity. Here but ten cents is charged for a stand on the curb, but Lancaster gets as much as $5O fro ma similar stand. Our local curb market Is big enough to ac commodate 300 farmers, assures Nebinger, and the community needs the enterprise, and wi'l get i( if the [ City Council does its part, RARfUSBURG TELEGRAPH FIFTY LICENSES ARE GRANTED IN BLAIR; 3 REFUSED -Hotels at Tyrone, Bellwood .and Altoona Must Go Dry HoUldajrgburg, Pa., Feb. 12. Judge Thomas J. Bald ridge handed down decision in the Blair county court here yesterday granting li quor licenses to forty-seven hotels and three breweries. The Hotel Garman, at Tyrone: the Bell House, at Bellwood, and the Columbia Ho tel, at Altoona, were refused li censes. Landlords were warned not to sell liquor by the bottle indis criminately. Only one new appli cation in the county was granted. During his administration Judge Baldridge has reduced the number of licensed houses to one-third. The court declined to grant any rebates on fees should the country go dry ifcx't July. LHKNtfEN FALLING OFF lsineastor, Pa., Feb. 12. —The time for filing liquor license applications has expired and eight places in tlie county have not applied, one be ing the National House. Lancaster. Last year 277 licenses were grant ed and this year there are but 269 applicants. It is generally believed that many of these applicants will not lift their licenses on April 1. COST OF LIVING^ IN LOCAL MARKETS [Continued from First Page.] to do with the* lowering of prices of these articles, especially of eggs. The egg laying season has been ad vanced from three to four weeks by one of the mildest winters of years. The hens have been able o get to the unfrozen ground where they have been able to find much material which has aided much to increase the product. The snow of to-<lay and continued cold weather which will cause frozen ground, may cause an as cension in price of the hen product, dealers believe. With the grounds frozen again, it will be necessary to return the hens to their shelter. The egg production in this case will be somewhat cut off. poultry men affirm. The cold storage product fig'urcs little in the living costs. Very few are being offered for sale, although many cold storage eggs are being forced from their resting places to tempt the generul public. Substitutes for Butter Substitutes for butter have fig ured largely in bringing an early reduction in its price. With the price of butter approaching the eighty cent mark, oleomargarine and nut butters, selling at from 30 to 35 cents per pound, had probably their largest sales since being placed on the market. Even now with the butter price returning to a nor mal basis, the substitutes continue to enjoy a much Wider sale than they had previously. Potatoes are coming on the city markets in larger quantities, hut thus far there has been little ten dency for the price to decline. The high grade goods were selling at $2 per bushel, approximately the same figure as three weeks ago. Seconds are on sale at some stores at $1.50 per bushel and one dealer even quotes a price of $1.40 per bushel for a medium grade article. Much in Storage Cold storage and other warehouses throughout the country are filled almost to the bursting point with products that had been stored up, many of them for government tise, contracts for which have since been cancelled. These goods will soon be thrown on the market for gen eral use. But thus far the influ ence of such goods has been slight ly felt. The prices of articles in the appended list have remained the same for the past three weeks: Navy (pea) beans .... 12-16 c hi ma beans 15-180 Wbite beans 15c Cornmeal (bulk) per lb. 5-7 c White flour (12 lbs.) ... 75c Spring flour (12 lbs.) .. 75c Pure lard 26-32 c Compound lard 24-28r, Potatoes $1.40-$2.00 Granulated sugar 9V4-llc " The retail price of meats among city meat dealers' is hovering around the same figure as it has dope for the past several months. The wholesale price has ascended somewhat within that time, dealers tell, but tliey have deemed it wise to hold to the same figures. The New York Times, relative to this situation' '.-The investigation of the packing interests caused a decided drop in the prices of meat during the last few days of Janu ary. Now that the legislative skies are clearing, the prices of beef, lamb, veal and mutton are climbing again." City dealers believe they cannot maintain their present figures long unless the ascension of the whole sale prices ends. But meats in the city markets, most of them fresh meats produced in this territory, little influenced by the packing in .ests, are selling at figures consid erably lower than prevail in the reg ular meat markets. Cheaper in Markets In the appended list are men tioned the meat dealers' prices of January 24, of to-day and the prices prevailing in the local markets to day: Beef, sirloin steak 55-55 55-60 35- -> 3 Hum by slice, lb. 60 65-70 40 Ham, whole, lb. 4 5 32 Beef.sirloin steak 55 55-60 35.

The append ed list, with the quotations of to day mentioned first and those of January 18 tn the second column, illustrates this rise In prices of some goods: Celery 10-20 c 10c Turnips, (4 peck . . 20c 15e Apples, V< ptsck .. 20-Soc 20c lettuce, head 20-25 c 8c Onions, % peck .. 2fle 10c Pumpkins, each . . 20c 15-20 c Quotations of to-day and Febru ary 1 illustrate forcibly this higher tendency In the appended list: Lemons, doz -. 30c 24c Oranges, doz 40-flOo EOo Cauliflower, head . 28-400 16-400 Cabbage, head .... 5-1 So 3-15 c tiweet pota'a Vt, pk. SOo ISo Fish Prices With the prleee of meat quite high, t#io food value of fish haM caused many householders to turn inoreaslng quantities of both the fresh and salt water product. The prices, which prevailed In the city fish markets to-day, have been In I force for the past three months and will continue until the spring catches, dealers say. A change In prices may be expected about April 1. The prevailing prices to-day were: Halibut 40c Cod 25c Steak tile * 30c Salt mackerel 30c. Fresh mackerel 30c Shad, each $1.25-$1.40 Smelts 25-40 c Haddock 15c Salt trout 20c White 2 5c Scallops, qt 40c Red snapper 25c Cattish 30c Flounders 15c River salmon 30c Future in Doubt The future prices of food supplies in this country depend upon a va riety of circumstances. Now that the restraining influence of the Fed- I eral food board has been withdrawn, the old laws of supply and demand are expected to reassert themselves. It is likely that considerable quan tities of food will be forced out of storage. The coming prohibition is expected to make large supplies in grain available. Great Britain at the present time is making a strong effort to supply herself as much as possible with provender from her colonies, such as Australia and Canada. Those who believe that there will be an other high peak reached in food prices before there can be a perma nent lowering of them, are counting on an extenVive export trade. The final solution of the problem of the high cost of living, in the opinion of many economists, is to be found in a stimulating of agricul ture by tlie government and the sending of many thousands of re turned soldiers to farms. POLICE UNEARTH CLUE TO ROBBERY [Continued from First Page.] $lOO will be paid for the conviction of the persons who broke in the window in the door of his store with the evident intention of rob bing it. The city detectives assigned to the ease of the safe blowing at tlie wholesale confectionery store of N. Freidberg, 126 South Second street, are working on a clue which they think may lead to the apprehension of the thieves who forced open the inner door of the safe and extracted premiums valued at $3OO. It de veloped to-day that a number of Liberty Bonds, unregistered, and belonging to one of the young wom en clerks of the eslablishment, was overlooked by the yeggman. The local police are inclined to the belief (bat the safe blowing job was done by local marauders, and was not the work of professional yegg nien from one of the big cities. George Sliuler, detective in charge of the Bertillon system, was able to secure finger prints where the safe blowing operations were carried out, and is holding them in ease the clues being followed up by the detectives materialize in arrests. Chief Wetzel this morning re iterated a warning to businessmen, that with the war ended and high war' wages tumbling, crime once more will appear as a lucrative business io dishonestly inclined rogues, and the utmost precautions must he observed to prevent a repeti tion of such a wave of robberies as swept the South Second street area. Tie warned merchants to let lights burning ,in .their establishments at night, so policemen can see at a glance that nothing suspicious is taking place within.
