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

Jellicoe Discloses
H/iine Sank Lord
Kitchener's Ship
London, Feb. 12. 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. .

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:

Rise in Green Stuff
Shipments of green groceries to
the city within the past several days
have been falling off considerably,
and a consequent rise in price of
such articles was noticeable in the
city markets to-day. 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:

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

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

Washington. Feb. 12. Senator j
Weeks, of Massachusetts, spoke to- j
dav before the Senate Banking Com- |
mittee, which is considering the re
nomination of John Skelton Wil
liams, as comptroller of the Treas
ury, in support of his bill abolish
ing the office of the comptroller and
vesting its powers in the Federal
Reserve Board.
The powers exercised by the comp
troller, the senator contended, were
too great and too important to be
vested in one man and conflicted
with the authority of the reserve
board. Even were the office not so
important, he declared, Mr. Williams |
was "temperamentally unfit" for the
position. „ j

Boycott Shows Its Mead
The revival of the spirit of the
old Pans economic conference,!
which planhed boycotts and after-1
the-war discriminations, is some
times in evidence during discus- !
sions. It made its appearance in
the desire of one country to impose
discriminatory duties on enemy
commerce, during the consideration |
of the plan to make all International .
waterways open for all nations on
even terms. This was regarded as]
a violation of one of the "fourteen !
points," but the commission dealing
with the subject is having some dif- j
ficulty in passing this point. How
ever, the general acceptance of the
principle of international control
over such waterways, to the extent
at least of prescribing rules which
shall govern navigation and defining
the riparian rights of abutting na
tions, is believed to have paved tire
way for ultimate agreement in the
commission upon a report which
will probably pe received with ap
proval by the Peace Conference or
its legatee, the Society of Nations.
Camp Hill Fire Laddies

Following a meeting of the Camp

a challenge was sent to the mem
bers of the borough council inviting
them to debate on any local question
with the flije-fighters. It is planned
to select teams and hold a big pub
lic affair with admission to be

made about the question of purchase
of efficient fire apparatus the fire
men said to-day they were ready to
discuss that question thoroughly.
The council, it will be recalled, is
now in a dispute with the firemen
on this question.
It was also decided at last night's
meeting that Camp Hill will have a
Chautauqua this summer. Members
of the company will canvass Camp
Hill and Washington Heights to soli
tickets. The Rev. Raymond A.
Ketchledge was unanimously elected
as Assistant Fire Marshal for Camp

Belgium Claims German
Territory of Peace Board
By Associated Press.
Paris, Feb.' 12. The Belgian
claims as placed before the Supremo
Council yesterday include a demand
tor the return to Belgium of some
territory held by Germany, in addi
tion to requests for free navigation
of the Scheldt and the restitution of
certain territory held by the Dutch.
The German districts demanded are
Montjoie and Malmedy, just east of
the present Belgian-German bor
der. The population of these dis
tricts is mainly Walloon and their
possessions by Belgium, it was
pointed out, would deprive Germany
of an outlet for a new Invasion of
Belgium.

Be Given Hearings by
City Council Tomorrow
When council meets In special
session to-morrow morning to con
sider the charges which have been
preferred .against Theodore A. Mag
neili and Edward Schmehl, patrol
men who were suspended because it
is alleged they accepted 20 cents
each as a reward for returning a
fTrayed lior.se to Its owner. Ctty
Commissioner C. W. Burtnett prob
ably will preside as Mayor Daniel
D. Keister is the official who has
brought the changes.
Although Solicitor John E. Fox
will conduct the hearings for the
city, it was decided that Commis
sioner Burtnett should preside be
cause the mayor is preferring the
charges. Witnesses have been sum
moned by subpena for the city. It
is believed the two officers will be
present and will be represented by
counsel.
As the suspended policemen have
made sweeping charges of ineffi
ciency in the department and al
lege that other officers on the force
have committed offenses much more
serious than the ones charged
against tliern, there is much inter
est in official circles and among tax
payers in the hearing to-morrow.
