the necessity of support from the inside

PRICE OF BREAD.
Ii Won't BE Reduced, Says n Promi-
nent Baker.

The Star reporter made round among
the bakers this afternoon. They seem ex-
cited at what they term the interference Of
the public with their business-their private
business. Bread was their business.
One baker told the reporter that, notwith-
standing the Introduction Of machinery in
the baking business, 1t took more human
labor 10 produce loaf of bread today than
1t did one hundred years ago. The wages
Of bakers had Increased and their hours of
labor had been shortened. Better bread
than ever was being made. The fact that
any one should suggest the establishment
of municipal bakery or popular control
of one, they thought, was too funny for
anything but a minstrel show. The people
ought 10 run the gas and electric light and
the railroads and the banking business, but
the bread business was no concern of the
people. The let-alone policy was the right
policy. I'VE Will not reduce the price of
bread" said one important baker, as he
brought his hand down on the Office desk.

house and took the doctors two children.

In The Star at the time. DR.. Glennan sub
sequently filed divorce proceedings, which
were answered by his WIFE Yesterday I'm
Lawyer Ralston's Office testimony was
taken In the case. and today the boarding
house proprietor called at the Police Court
and wanted warrants for DIR. GIennan and
four members or employees of the McDevltt
detective agency. MIR. Lester wanted the
warrant for HOUSEKEEPING or forcible en-
try. but the clerks, of course. refused a
warrant on such charges, but would have
given one charging the destruction of pri-
vate property. But Mr.. Lester wanted
warrant on a charge that would get the
alleged offenders locked up. Until MIR
Birney, the district attorney. can look into
the matter, no warrant will be issued.

THE published statements made by In

in regard To the recent stamp robbery at
the bureau of engraving and printing are
entirely wide Of the facts in the case"
said Acting Chief Sullivan of the bureau
of engraving and printing to a Star re-
lcrter this afternoon.
when l first obtained information in re-
gard to the peculation," Mr.. Sullivan con-
tinued, Il went to the Secretary of the
Treasury, and was authorized by him to
place the matter In the hands OF the secret
service. II has been there ever since Mon
day morning l received a message from De-
tective Weldon requesting me to call at po-
lice headquarters. and did so. in company
with Chief HaZsn of the secret service.
1t appeared that Detective Weldon had
lest sight of the fact that there were other
persons than himself in the case. When we
reached headquarters ] reminded him that
the police was in the hands of the secret
service. Mr. Weldon replied cheerfuly
that he understood that fact fully, and he
said that he was aware that he was simply
cooperating with the secret service.
Inspector Hollinberger spoke in similar
strain. and remarked that he was working
under Chief Hazens orders. No angry tiff
whatsoever between Detective Weldon and
myself occurred, but on the contrary every
thing was most harmonious"
III any one in this establishment Is i'm
plcated in the robbery we want TO get them
out and if Inspector HOiiinberger and De-
tective Weldon have any Information in
regard to the same il is their duty to impart
