PRICES GO UPWARD.
"Short- Order" Restaurants Advance
the Charges for Meals.


A number Of 'short-order' restaurants
and eating houses in the city have increased
the price Of regular meals at the rate Of
from 1914 to 40 per cent. The reason as
signed for this increase is the enhanced
cost Of provisions, especially Of meat and
vegetables Several of the restaurants have
done away with regular meals altogether
and are now serving edibles on the order
system entirely. Some Of the boarding
houses have raised from 25 to 35 cents and
others from 35 to so cents for regular meals
The proprietors declare that it Is impossible
to do profitable business on the former
scale of prices, meats and groceries having
in the past three months. They say that
edibles are always high at this time of
year. but the present increased cost Of pro-
visions is so unusual and prolonged that a
raise in the price Of meals was found nee
essary.
The articles Of food which have advanced
in greatest proportion are meats, eggs, but
ter and potatoes. Canned goods and cured
vegetables are not much higher than at
other seasons of the year.
The proprietors Of other restaurants who
have retained the old schedule Of prices all
say the increased cost of food Is keenly
felt, but as q rule they do not anticipate
permanent high prices. The greatest COM
plaint noted is In regard to the price of
meat.
1t is predicted, however, that unless pro.
visions fall to the former scale of prices
all the restaurants will be compelled to
put up their charges for meals and short
orders.

Senator Clark's Chauffeur Convicted Of
Breaking the Speed Law.

Peter ]. Anderson, chauffeur in charge
of the steamobile owned by Senator Clark
of Montana, was convicted by Judge Scott
in the Police Court this morning on a
charge Of having violated the speed regu-
leticns of the District while on the way
to the Maltby building, via G street and
New Jersey avenue, Thursday last. A fine
Of $40, which the court imposed, was paid
by the senator. Senator Clark was evi-
IDENTIFY not pleased with the verdict and
expressed a desire to carry the case to a
higher court on appeal. but was in
formed that such could not be done unless
II was carried up on writ.
Bicycle Policemen Simpson and Charlton
the complainants against Anderson, testi-
fled that they followed the machine Thurs
day morning last along G street from 9th
street northwest, and that a speed of from
twenty to twenty-five miles an hour was
maintained on G street from 9th street to
New Jersey avenue. On New Jersey ave-
nue. the speed was increased so the officers
said, to tWenty-fOur twenty-five miles
hour.
The senator, who was sworn a wit
ness, informed the court that he had had
great experience in France with SINH
lar machine where the speed law was
rIgidly enforced.
1.-THE morning IN question we ran very
slowly on our trip to the Maltby build
ing, and I'm sure we did not travel over
ten miles an n9ur at any time curing the
trip" the senator said, land" he continued
Il think the speed indicators on these Off
GERS machines must be wrong, but I don't
believe they would willfully state what is
not true in this case"
Senator Clark said that he was a law
abiding citizen and had no desire whatever
to violate any Of the District laws.
Anderson, the chauffeur, made a state
ment in which he said that speed Of ten
miles an hour was not exceeded on the
morning alleged in the information.
I've had years Of experience in driving
horses, riding bicycles and running these
machines. and If my own mother told me
that I violated the law / would dispute
her." he declared
He said he had operated a horseless vehi-
Gle in New York city, and had never been
arrested or even cautioned for violating
the speed law
Henry H. Gilfrey who was in the vehicle
with Senator Clark Thursday morning, said
he thought a speed of eight miles hour
was the highest reached.

of $50 imposed by Judge Scott in the Po-
lice Court yesterday. having been convicted
