BEARS IN tn. BREAD MARKET
Leading Bakers Say that Prices Will Not
Go Up-Now at Least.


Go Up-Now at Least
"No, the price of bread will not be ad-
vanced-not for some time,' said a promi-
nent baker to TIMES reporter yesterday.
The after-thought suggested further discus
sion, and the baker added:
"There are several persons, 1 know, who
would like to have the price go up, but you
can say that it will not be yet awhile
HAS the proposition been under discus
sion in the bakers association" was asked.
"Oh. yes; but just casually Those who
forced down the price got it in the neck,
and they are now trying to get tho price put
up"
Another leading baker made pretty nearly
the same observations. When asked if he
could say when there would be an advance
In the price, his indefinite reply was mot for
some time"
He was asked if, in his judgment, the price
when advanced would he higher than it was
prior to the reduction, he said:
''The price of bread then will depend upon
the price of -four
Both of the operators said there was great
falling off in the demand for bread. and one
had a list of firms that had been obliged to
take four or i've delivery wagons out of
service
Another baker was seen. one whose regular
force of workmen ranges in number from
three to six. He said:
.'The price will go up certainly. There
is a positive less in the business now" And
he proceeded to show how the losses come in.
IA barrel of four he said, represents
$50 loaves of bread. At 315 cents per loaf
that will bring in 1915 to the operator Good
flour will cost S4.25; for labor, yeast, and
other expenses, incidental the baker pays
out So. 50 more, and that leaves him but 81
profit on each barrel. Out Of this he pays
his taxes, living expenses. and extras for
overtime made by the men, to say nothing
of meeting expenses from stale bread, bad
bakes, and other sources.
II know a baker" he added, swho lost
$25 week before last, and last week he was
out $40. To stand a chance to make any
money the baker must work from twenty-five
to fifty barrels a week, and have a sale for it
all. That is what no firm does now, and
there is not a bakery in the city that is run
ming at profit.

Living Under Snow.

ST lived under snow for two months,
said Tom Allen. s'It was in 1868, in
what were then the wilds of Minnesota
near Albert Lea. Four Of us had built
a hut in order to hold homestead
claim, and fortunately had laid in
supply of provisions sufficient to last
two or three months during the winter.
One night it commenced to snow, and
large fakes fell constantly for two days
and nights. Then the wind began to
blow, the snow continuing, and the
next morning we could not open the
door. The windows were completely
blockaded, and we could not tell that
it was daytime except by our watches.
We built a big fire and staid in the
house, supposing that it would pass of
in few hours, but the weather turned
intensely cold. On the third day we
tunneled out through the window, but
found it impossible to remove the drift,
which completely covered the hut. The
cold weather continued without break
for two months. The top of the snow be-
came hard enough to bear our weight,
and we would 60 out by the window,
returning at night, but it was two
months before the snow thawed suffi-
cient to uncover the hut. st. Louis

The Matabe1e.

There has always been doubt since
the last hostile operations of the English
in South Africa as to what has become
of that once powerful and prosperous
tribe known as the Matabele, which for
so long held the British invader in
check. That they have disappeared from
the scene and that Africa is rid of their
presence has repeatedly been stated fiji
cially both in and out of parliamen It
was reserved for Mr.. Rhoades, tn. u
tocrat of the southern portion of the
dark continent, to enlighten the world
as to the ultimate fate of the unfortu-
nate natives. In a speech delivered in
London the other day. with as little re-
gard for grammar as for the aversion
felt by civilized nations to cannibalisn,
he deliberately confessed in speaking of
the Matabele, We've incorporated them
into ourselves. New York Tribune

EARLY CONVENTION.
j. S. ClarksOn Discusses the
Presidential Campaign.
Favors a Date in May, '96, for
Making Nominations.
THE CHOICE OF PLACE
Will Probably Settle on a West
ePn City.
San Francisco is Rising
FaVOrite.

: WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-J. S. Clarkson
member of the Republican national COM
mittee for Iowa, who is at present in this
city, says he is in favor of an earlier date
than usual for holding the Republican
national convention of 1895. He thinks
some time between May Goth and 30th
will be the best time in the year to name
the candidate for the next president of
the United States.
Mr.. Clarkson says it isn't too early to
predict the city that will be chosen for
the meeting of the convention. He has
heard, he said, that Detroit, Pittsburg,
Denver and San Francisco, are among
the candidates. Mr.. Clarkson. like Chair
man Manley of Maine. is inclined to the
belief that San Francisco would not be a
bad selection.

WHERE is IT2
The Alleged Affidavit in Which
S. B. West
Takes Back All He Said in the
First One.
THE SENATE CONFIRMS
Geo. I. Anthony For Insurance
Commissioner
On the Strength of the Second
Affidavit,
BUT KEEPS 1T SECRET.
Does Any Such Affidavit Exist
at ALI?
Star Chamber Business That
Makes the Public Suspicious.

Ex-Governor George 7. Anthony has
been confirmed by the state senate as
state insurance commissioner, but the
public is in total ignorance as to why the
expected investigation was not made in
view of the damaging charges hanging
over him as made public in the S. B.
West affidavit.
The members of the special senate in
vestigation committee, as shown in the
regular senate report on another page Of
this paper, made a unanimous report for
Gov. Anthony's confirmation.
1t is said by certain senators and pub
lie officials interested in the matter that
a later affidavit made by S. b. West in
which he retracted all that was sworn to
in the published statement, was pre-
sented to the committee as evidence to
prove the innocence of Gov. Anthony,
but it is not known whether this is true
or not.
This second affidavit is not in evidence.
We hear a great deal about it, but we
don't see it.
One thing only is certain, an affidavit
made by s B. West has been published
making damaging charges against the
man who has been confirmed as insur-
| ance commissioners.
say that another affidavit was produced
in evidence, but this affidavit they re-
fuse to make public.
A STATE JOURNAL reporter this after
noon asked Senator Thacher, chairman
of the committee, 20 allow him to see the
| evidence which was filed with the COM
mittee, but his request was refused.
Seuator Thacher said: ~ can't show it
to you. 1t affects too many public men"
If there is such an affidavit in exis-
tence the public ought to know it.
The affidavit making charges against
the old state board of railroad commits
sioners has been published, and if there
| was any evidence presented to the senate
committee to relieve them of the charges
the members of the board of railroad
commissioners ought to have the benefit
of the publication of that evidence.
Until the alleged affidavit or evidence
is made public the people of the state
will be inclined to believe that no such
affidavit or evidence exists.
Certainly the charges made against
Governor Anthony and ex- Commissioner
Mitchell remain unrefuted as far as the
public is concerned.

A Division in the Church Arises Over the
Immaculate Conception
NEW YORK, Feb 13.-The committee
of seven bishops, seven priests aud seven
laymen appointed at the last general
convention of the Protestant Epis-
copaI church to consider the
revision of the constitution
and canons of the church, and report
what is deemed advisable to be done in
that direction, has nearly completed its
labors
"In regard to the record of the recent
encyclicai, and the creation of an arch
episcopate. DR.. Thomas Richey said:
The encyclical was called forth by
the fact that an institution purporting 20
be one of the Christian seminaries was
teaching its students to hold that
the veritable incarnation of our
blessed Lord and the Virgin
birth from his mother were all we'll
enough as a working hypothesis but that
they need not be believed in as histori-
Cal facts. The specific cause of
the attack was that the stand
ing committee of the diocese of
Massachusetts had been censured by its
bishop because they had rejected the pa
pers of two candidates who had denied
the virgin birth.

A THRIFTY FIREMAN.
lie Sets Fire to Buildings to Make Busi-
ness for HimEelf


YPsILANTI, Mich, Feb. 13.-Samuel
Graham, captain of the Hose company
No 2, was arrested this morning charged
with incendiarism. For the past eigh-
teen months fires destroying vacant
houses and outbuildings nave been fre-
quent on the east side, and the fact that
Captain Graham's men were always to
respond caused some suspicion, which
the police officers have gradually fol-
lowed up.
AS result Chas. M. Walker, former
minute man of the fire department, was
taken into custody last night and made a
full confession duplicating Captain Gra-
ham and Fireman Archie Harrison.
The mysterious fires ceased several
weeks ago, when the department was re-
organized and Graham became the reci-
pient of a monthly salary, and the sys-
tenn of paying firemen by the hour for
work performed, was abolished.

COLUMBUS, O., Feb ia special to

Hooking Valley coal cars we're totally

The fire originated in the weigh Office,

electric wire which was not properly in
sulated. Fire extinguishing facilities
were inadequate. The capacity of the
hopper was twenty three cars per day.
Eight hundred men will be deprived
of employment with no prospect of
securing work elsewhere, which, with
the existing suffering of miners in the
valley on account of depressed business
and conflicts of various kinds among
coaI-workers, make the situation assume
q more appalling phase.
