COUNTRY CLUB
PLANNING FOR
BUILDING
Membership to Discuss Pro
posed Structure at
Luncheon
MANY CHANGES MADE
Mistakes in the Old Building
Will Be Eliminated
in the New
•aembers of the Country Club, of
Harrisburg, will meet at a luncheon
at the Penn-Harris to-morrow at
noon, to discuss plans submitted
by the Board of Governors for the
new clubhouse to replace the one
burned last March.
The committee in charge has re
ceived bids on the proposition and
wishes to discuss the plans thor
oughly with the club members be
fore going ahead with the building.
As designed by Architect Stoddart,
who was architect for the Penn-
Harris, the new plans include greater
convenience at the entrance, addi
tional locker accommodations for
\ women and men, a glass enclosed
porch on the south side, a second
floor porch adjoining the ballroom,
and an adequate water supply,
which is something the other club
house did not afford all year round.
Finance Committee Named
The building committee is con
fident that the club members will
wish to adopt these plans, but fur
ther. discussion of the financing of
the building must be discussed be
fore they can go ahead. Lesley Mc-
Creath, George W. lteily and Charles
H. Bergner have been appointed as
, a committee to devise and suggest
a plan for properly linancing the
scheme. All members who are com
ing to the luncheon are requested to
notify Frank J. Brady, secretary of
the club, before ten o'clock to
morrow.
The new clubhouse will be a two
story structure of the same kind of
stone which was used in the last
building and it is the intention to
use the old foundations and a por
tion of the walls in the construction
of the clubhouse. It is estimated
that the cost will be approximately
$85,000.
More Comforts
The new house will not have the j
bowling alleys which were planned |
in the former structure, but by this |
saving of space there will be much :
more room for the locker and
shower rooms and also space for
the addition of several rooms where

Mosquito Problem to
Be Met by City and
Railways Company
The Harrisburg Railways Com
pany has offered to meet the city
half way in ridding the upper end
of town of malaria breeding mos
quitos by providing the needed
quantity of cinders and paying half
of the transportation charges to
Division street and the Pennsylva
nia railroad near where the low
lands to be tilled are located. The
cost to the city will not be more
than several hundred dollars under
this plan and Dr. Raunick, city
health officer, has asked Council to
provide the money.
The malarial mosquitos are bred
in a small swampy section at the
Sixth street end of Hoffman's woods
and on property adjoining owned by
the Lalance-Grosjean Company,
which has agreed to fill it up if
the city does its part. The ground
lies high and the water accumu
lates only in one depression which
can be removed at small cost. The
people of the upper end of the city
are solidly behind the State and
City Health Departments in their
efforts to relieve the situation. The
traction company ordinarily is able
to dispose of its cinders without
cost to itself, but at the solicitation
of the health department will load
the cars and pay half of the freight
charges. Dr. Raunick believes he
may be able to make an even more
economical arrangement by the use
of motor trucks.

LITTLE EVIDENCE
OF PRICE FIXING
IN CITY MARKETS
Wide Range in Quotations
For First Time in
Many Weeks
LITTLE IS LOW-PRICED
Effect of the Anti-Forestalling
Ordinance Seen at Pro
duce Stalls
Price-fixing, at least on some of
the produce brought to the city
markets, to-day, apparently has
stopped to a certain extent, judging
from the wide range in the prices
asked by the dealers, truckers and
farmers.
But the prices to the consumer
are as high as ever for good grades
of supplies, although some produce
was brought in quantities, indicat
ing big crons during the week.
The attempt to raise the price of
eggs to 55 cents on Saturday met
with the same result as during llie
last two weeks. Customers would
not buy except by necessity and to
day most of the eggs in the markets
were offered at 50 and 52 cents.
Com Plentiful
Peaches and corn were plentiful
in market. For the fruit* 15 cents
a box was the price at almost every
stand, although a few sold them at
10 cents during the early hours. By
the quarter peek peaches sold for
20, 25 and 30 cents; 14-quart
baskets were $1 to $1.30, and half
bushel baskets $1.25 up, depending
on size and quality.
Prices for corn varied from 10 to
35 cents a dozen. Small ears of
evergreen, golden bantam and other
varieties were sold for 10 to 20
cents a dozen, while large ears of
evergreen were 25 to 35 cents.
Elderberries were on sale to-day
at some of the stands for 8 and
10 cents a box, picked from the

Post Office Not Looking
Forward With Joy to
Distribution of Foods
Post office employes are not
whooping up with joy the arrange
ment to distribute through the par
cels post system the mountains of
foodstuffs now stored in Govern
ment warehouses. This plan of
distribution will be inaugurated Au
gust 18 and only those \Vho handle
the parcels post packages can have
any fair appreciation of what such
a deluge of canned goods will mean.
It is entirely possible that many of
the cans will have rusted to such
an extent as to make their handling
more or less precarious and those
dainty missives which pass through
Uncle Sam's hands on their way to
all parts of the country in the
service of Cupid may be embellished
with highly colored tomatoes, can
ned beef, bacon and other decora
tions.
Charles H. Hoffman, superintend
ent of delivery at the local post
office, observed to-day that he
started his lifework as a grocer's
clerk and that the approaching dis
tribution of foodstuffs through the
mails didn't give him a moment's
worry.
A lot of people are wondering
why there has been a considerable
jump in the price of coffee. During
the war the better grades speeded
up from about 35 to 4 5 and 4 8 cents.
Then the consumers began to use
the cheaper grades, but these have
likewise soared to the war prices of
the superior grades.
The attitude of the Government
representatives regarding the dis
posal of the fnorraous stores of
foodstuffs is somewhat puzzling. One
officer is said to have declared to
a wholesaler that, the prices to the
latter would, of course, be under the
figure submitted to municipalities.
Asked why this discrimination in
favor of the wholesaler, he replied
"I don't know!"
Those opposed to the price-fixing
policies of Uncle Sam are denounc
ing the plan of the Government to
buy wheat from producers at a guar
anteed price of $2.26 per bushel and
sell it to the trade at $1.50. Farmer
and businessman are objecting in
asmuch as they do not believe the
artificial drop in the price of wheat
will affect the cost of living in any
degree, but might upset stable trade
conditions. An authority declared
that illegitimate speculation in food
stuffs and unrestricted exports is the
cause of the high prices at the pres
ent time.
STATE TO MAKE CITY
A MARKETING CENTER
Recently Reorganized Bureau of Department of Agriculture
Announces PJan to Show How Producer and Consumer
May Be Brought Together to Best Results
Harrisburg, already selected by
Col. Edward Martin, commissioner of
health, to be a model city in health
and sanitation and destined to be the
beautiful civic center of the Com
monwealth, will be made the p.ace
of model marketing under new State
plans. Advantage will be taken of
its remarkable situation, proximity
to the garden of the nation and the
wheat and fruit belts of the Key
stone State to demonstrate how to.
secure the best- in the way of food
by up-to-date methods.
The business of the newly reor
ganized State Bureau of Markets is
not to fix prices or to upset the laws
of supply and demand, but to shorten
the distance between producer and
consumer, according to Secretary of
Agriculture Frederick Rasmussen
and Guy C. Smith, the newly ap-.
pointed chief of tho bureau, who to
day outlined some of the plans for
the bureau. One is to make Harris
burg a model marketing center.
"The bureau has no power to reg
ulate prices, that should be under
stood" said Secretary Rasmussen.
"Neither has this department any
such power. And we do not intend
to try to do too much."
State-wide Scope
Mr. Smith says he wants to evolv?
a plan of State wide scope which will
link up the producing districts with
the markets. He has specialized in
the marketing end in Connecticut
and New England. Part of the plan
is to build up a state report system
which will show where there .is
plenty of one kind of produce and a
demand in another. Philadelphia or
Pittsburgh may be filled up with po
tatoes and Williamsport or Scranton
need them, for instance, he says. The
aim is to study out tho problem and
as Harrisburg is in the center of a
rich agricultural district with a
varied production and with unusual
railroad and trolley facilities some
thing will be done to develop the
thought. Harrisburg, says Mr. Smith,
seems to have all the elements of any
marketing center and what will work
here will likely work in other popu
lous districts.
The next move after working out
ULTIMATUM IS
SERVED ON HUNS
BY RUMANIANS
Demand Reduction of Hun
garian Army, Surrender of
Animals and R.R. Stock
By Associated Press.
Paris, Aug. 6. —The Rumanians
have nerved an ultimatum on the
Hungarian government, according
to messages reaching the Peace
Conference. The ultimatum, it is
stated, makes demands far in ex
cess of the armistice terms and
gives the Hungarians until 8 p. m.
to-day to comply with them.
It is greatly feared in conference
circles that the Rumanian action
will result in the overthrow of the
new Hungarian government.
French circles state that the Ru
manian Army is not under the com
mand of Marshal Foch, the Allied
commander-in-chief, the Rumanian
generals refusing to accept orders
from the French. The Rumanians
have not been actively participating
in the Peace Conference since Pre
mier Bratiano some time ago took
exception to the decision of the con
ference upon the principle guaran
teeing the rights of minorities
within national borders.
Demand Half of R. R. Stock
In their ultimatum the Ruman
ians demand the reduction of the
Hungarian Ar/ny of 16,000 men and
the surrender of thirty per cent, of
the harvest animals and farm ma
chinery and fifty per cent, of tho
railway supplies.
The ultimatum which was for
warded to Paris by Lieutenant Col
onel Romanellt of the Allied mlli-
XContinued on Page 11.]
a reliable report system and putting
u plan into operation will be to se
cure in the cities economical means
of distribution, which is the greatest
foe to speculation and profiteering.
Forestalling ordinances, centers of
distribution and proper organization
of farmers to obtain fair prices even
if they do not have to lose the time
of taking their produce to market.
Many farmers do not take produce
to market for this very reason and
both producer and consumer lose.
The idea is to take advantage of the
recently enacted agricultural co
operative association law which will
mean "more even distribution of
food supplies" in opinion of the new
director.
Cannot Regulate Prices
"Another important matter follow
ing up the sending of produce to
market with knowledge that it is
going where it is needed and where
the grower will get fair prices is
proper packing," raid he. Much is
sent to market that should never go
and the establishment of grades and
packing methods will enable farm
ers to save money and their time.
"The business o fthe bureau of
markets," Director Smith concluded,
"is to concern itself with the machin
ery of distribution; to encourage
production; to eliminate waste; to
cultivate cordial relations between
consumer and producer and to use its
best efforts to eliminate the specu
lator and forestaller from the field,
A state cannot successfully regulate
prices. By trying to do they would
drive produce out of the state. But
states can make it easier to dispose
of products than it is now. They can
assist with organization in building
machinery that will operate more
efficiently than our present system.
After that is done, prices, in the end
must be left to our old friends Sup
ply and Demand. If we make it
easy for the supply to reach the de
mand—which means reducing the
cost of distribution to the minimum
—we will accomplish all we set out
to do. And that, by the way, is some
large contract. Harrisburg seems
well situated t otry it out."

WINS BRIDE AS

ON BATTLEFIELDS
Captain Meade D. Detweiler
to Marry Pretty Ital
ian Girl
ARRIVES IN NEW YORK
Young Woman Is Met at Pier
by Veteran and His
Mother
Captain Meade D. Detweiler,
said to have been the first American
to win the Italian war cross, is- to
take a pretty Italian bride, it was
learned to-day when Mrs. Detweiler,
his mother, left for New York to
welcome to America the young
woman whose heart was won dur
ing the dark days of the war.
The bride-to-be is Miss Esther
Minoli whose home is in Cannero,
Lake Maggiore. Announcement
that she was coming has created
something of a stir among the young
people of the city among whom Cap
tain Detweiler is widely known.
Captain Detweiler is the son of
the late Meade D. Detweiler, former
District Attorney and Grand Exalted
Ruler of the Elks.
Engagement Surprise
Captain Detweiler saw consider
able service with an ambulance corps
in France during the summer of
1917. When the situation became
critical in Italy he was in the first
American detachment sent to that
country. He served there with little
chance for rest until the armistice
was signed. He was decorated by
the Italian Government for bravery
and cited several times. It was dur
ing this service that the Captain
met Miss Minoli, whom he induced

Excessive Profits Grabbed
AH Way Down Line Boost
High Prices of Shoes
Washington. Aug. 6. The high
price of shoes was declared to be due
to excessive profits taken by every
factor in the shoe production in
dustry in a report by the Federal
Trade Commission to Congress made
public to-day. The packers were
charged with having begun the
pyramiding of shoe prices by an
unwarranted increase in the price
of hides, the supply of which they
were said to control. On top of
this increase, it was charged, the
tanners have taken "exceptional
profits," while the shoe manufac
turers have demanded an "unusual
margin," and the retailers have
charged prices that are "not justi
fiable."
The commission's report covering
the four-year period from 1914 to
1918, is the result of an exhaustive
inquiry into the price of hides,
leather and shoes begun more than
a year ago it was said. It has been
in the President's hands for some
time, and it is understood that he
I urged its speedy printing and trans
[ mittal to Congress in connection with
efforts of the Government to combat
I the high cost of living. *
To show that the packers during
the last four , years have fnade un
warranted increases in the price of
"packer" hides, the report pointed
out that the price differential be
-1 tween their hides and country hides
hides of a lower grade has in
creased "far beyond the usual pro
portion." Charges of excessive
profits against the tanner and the
shoe manufacturer were said to be
supported by "the high rates of re
turn on investlnents," in both indus
tries following the price increases.
| "The public," said the report,
"had to pay prices for shoes that
not only could not be justified be
cause retail shoe dealers took too
much profits, but because the dealer
had to pass on to the consumer the
excessive profits received by butchers
for hides and also the excess profits
of tanners and shoe manufacturers."
Outlaw Band Holding
Young Girl Is Sought
by Posse of 100 Men
Welsh, W. Va., Aug. 6.—A pitched
battle was expected momentarily
early to-day between a posse of
100 men, armed with high-power
rifles, and a band of outlaws headed,
by Manderville Farley, alleged army
deserter, who is charged with ab
ducting and holding prisoner in the
mountains the 14-year-old daughter
of Kenneth Abshire, a farmer. The
posse, headed by Sheriff Q. J.
Elliott, of Mercer county, and
Sheriff George Foster, of Raleigh
county, left Bluefields last yester
day and was reported this morning
to be nearing the camp of the out
laws, who number twenty men,
mostly draft evaders on the summit
of Flat Top mountain.
Abshire's daughter, it is alleged,
was lured away from her father's
home two weeks ago by Farley.
Abshire, having himself deputized
as a special officer and securing
a warrant for Farley's arrest, went
into the mountains last week. He
met Farley with the girl and opened
fire on the mountaineer. Although
wounded by two shots from Ab
shire's gun, the mountaineer man
aged to escape with the girl when
a dozen of his companions came
to his assistance. In another en
counter with the band. Deputy
Sheriff Edward "Wills, of Raleigh
county, was beaten badly by the
outlaws.

COMBINED WAGE
DEMAND MADE

Representives of Fourteen Unions Act as
Unit; Wilson to Speak to Con
gress; Stone Talks
By Associated Cress.
Washington, Aug. 6.—Representatives of fourteen different
railroad unions now have joined in a communication to Director
General Hines asking immediate increases in wages. So far as
known this is the first instance on record in which all the rail
road unions, representing 2,000,000 employes, have acted as a unit.
Wilson to Consult Congress
Mr. Hines said to-day he had not had time to analyze the
communication, but it seemed a formal presentation of wage de
mands already made public. President Wilson will address Con
gress in person Friday to make recommendation for legislation
designed to aid in reducing the cost of living. This was learned
to-day at the White House.
Firing Squad For Profiteers
Some sharp views of leaders of organized labor on economic
problems were developed at the opening of hearings to-day before
the House Interstate Commerce Committee on labor's plan for
the reorganization of the railroads.
Warren S. Stone, grand chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- j
gineers, said labor might advocate j
a firing squad for profiteers and de- j
clared that unless Congress found a |
solution of the high cost of living
problem within a few months
America would see "its very worst
period."
"The people are not going to
starve," said he. "They are going
to die fighting."
He added that the time would
