BURN FOODS TO
KEEP UP PRICES
Altoona's City Manager Re
veals Action of Whole
sale Merchants There
Altoona, Aug. 15.—As a result of
investigations made by City Man
ager H. G. Hinkle during the past
day or two, the revelation has been
made that thousands of bushels of
potatoes, peaches, onions, turnips
and other foodstuffs have been haul
ed to the city's garbage disposal
plant at East Altoona during the
present summer, where they have
been Incinerated.
The names of the wholesale mer
chants who have thus been de
stroying foodstuffs rather than per
mit it to be sold at reduced prices
are in the hands of the city man
ager. The excuse of the jobbers is
that the articles were spoiled, a
claim that is not borne out by the
reports made to the city manager
by the man in charge of the dump.
The most recent large cargoes of
fruit and vegetables taken to the
plant were as follows:
About July 31, between thirty and
forty tons of potatoes, hauled by a
wholesale produce house; on Au
j gust 11, fifty baskets of peaches,
i taken by another firm, and on Au-_
! gust 12, a great quantity of pota
i toes, estimated at 500 bushels,
i taken by the same firm that hauled
the peaches.

28 CASES TO BE
TRIED IN ADAMS

Rule on Plea For Slay
ers on August 25
Gettysburg, Pa., Aug. 15.—Twen
ty-eight criminal cases are on the
list for the August term of court
which convenes on the last Monday
of the month. Of this number 20
are new cases and eight continued
from former sessions, and it is like
ly that all of them will not be tried
at this term, particularly the cases
against the four McShefrystown
boys charged with arson. These boys
are before the York county court
on the same charge, but retainers
have been lodged against them so
that the Adams county authorities
can deal with them when the York
county proceedings are finally set
tled.
Perhaps the greatest matter of
importance at this term of court is
the expectation of the handing
down of an opinion by Judge Mc-
Pherson in the motion for a new
trial of Clarence Collins and Charles
Reinccker, the two boys convicted
at the January term of first degree
murder for the killing of George
Bushman last October.
