THE PRICE OF BREAD.
A Baker Says There May BE a General
Increase In Weight.


There Is no change In the bread situation
today. One of the leading bakers Of the
city told q Star reporter this afternoon that
it was not probable that the price would be
reduced. but that 1t was likely that the
weight Of the loaves would be increased by
all the bakers to eighteen ounces. This
weight, he said. was being given by some
bakers already. while others still served
the sixteen-ounce loaf.
The Weight of Bread.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t was stated In our former communica-
ton that the law was changed, allowing the
bakers to make the bread, single loaf, from
sixteen to eighteen ounces. but they have.
as a combination. In defiance Of public
wishes, concluded not to alter the weight or
price. They have presented no forcible ar
guments in taking this position on this
question.
The bakers Gust as the BARRIERS in the
case of the Sunday law) were instrumental
in changing the assize law, which regulated
the weight of bread according to the price
of flour.
The first assize law was passed in 1906,
with a table of prices of -four and require
ment of weight of bread as follows:

an employe of a. NJ. Byers, her brother
in-law, kidnapped her husband and took
him TO Chicago, where he was placed in
the custody of DIR. L. W. Tallman, The
latter took Byer3 TO Duluth, and then to
st. Paul where he was placed in a hotel
under the charge Of Eva Diltz trained
nurse.
Mrs Byers located her husband on Aug.

then returned to Chicago. Here, she al
leges, NOR inc was surreptitiously ad-
ministered by DR.. Tallmau and while she
was unconscious her husband was again
carried off. Byers was then taken from

deavored 20 regain possession Of Byers.
