DECLARES PRICES WILL FALL
Secretary Wilson Predicts Lower Cost
of Living This Winter.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Sept. 20. - Secretary
Wilson Of the department. of agricul-
ture predicts lower retail prices during
the coming winter season, for meat,
dairy products, poultry and other ne
cessities of life. He says the relief for
the householder will come from the
enormous yields of small grain and corn
in the great grain territory of Illinois,
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Iowa, Nebras-
ka and Kansas.
"tHeavy crops,' the secretary said,
Hhave resulted in the return of normal
agricultural conditions in the great pro-
ducing states. Meat producers have
been losing money for the past three
wears. Grain cost too much. There
was no profit in feeding, as strange as
this may seem to people who pay such
prices as we do for our meat. But the
heavy grass crop Of this year, in addi-
tion to the heavy corn crop and the
heavy oats crop, will all combine to
bring about normal feeding conditions.
And this means direct influence on
horses, beef, pork, dairy products and
poultry.
''Prices should not average as high
for these articles in the future, but
at any rate the farmer will make more
money because he has more and cheaper
raw materials to use. The greatest good
to all classes, of society comes when we
have full crops. -

LIQUOR DEALERS
GET TWO JOL1S
Rand Ordinance Is Unanimously
Turned Down and Legal sa-
loon License Refused.

Two severe jolts were given the liquor
interests in the meeting Of the council
committee on licenses today, when the
Rand ordinance was turned down and
permission was refused Peter Boesen to
conduct a saloon at 5000 Twenty sixth
avenue s.
This action on Mr.. Boesen IS applica-
local saloon regulation. Mr.. Boesen is
a respectable citizen, never accused of
violating the laws and the place at
which he wants to sell liquor is within
the patrol limits. There is no legal
ground upon which he could be refused
a license, yet the committee voted to
recommend that the application be
denied. License Inspector George Long
fellow, speaking for the administration,
explained that there were already eight
saloons in the twelfth ward patrol dis.
tion. The saloon in question had
changed hands four times within the
past year, because of the inability of the
proprictors to make both ends meet
This proved that the saloon business
was overdone and that the present APP
plication was simply an effort on the
part of brewing company to force 9
saloon in section where it was not
needed.
Alderman W. w. Ehle of the twelfth
ward insisted chat Mr.. Boesen was en-
titled to license, being man Of goo6
character, but in view of the fact that
the city council has the discretion under
a recent decision Of the supreme cour
to limit the number of saloons in tn,
Lefty or any portion Of it, the committee
voted to stand by the administration il
! it's campaign to reduce the number o:
| saloons in the residence districts.
The Rand ordinance was turned dow
by unanimous vote. Alderman Rand
who was present, did not seek to defent
it nor did anyone else. When the meas
ure was killed so ruthlessly, it's fathe
laughed heartily over the death Of hi
offspring. 49,. ~
