Eggs and Butter Claimed to BE Weak

Cheese Factory Is
Busy
Busy

Five cares of domestic block cheese,
twenty cases OF local case count eggs
and one carload OF Idaho potatoes were
sold. Offerings of eastern potatoes In
dicated desire to sell at slightly under
former asked prices. On the other hand
brokers braced Highland Burbanks. No
tice or resistance was quietly handed to
broker who offered Highlands at $500
after the other party had asked $40.
Bid price was as high as $1.95 for that
carload. The Jobbing price Is S2.2b.
Dealers who have been looking for a
break in prices for spuds are still hope
full. The brokers handling eastern
spuds appear to be doing heavy busi-
ness.
There were no changes In quotations
for commodities. Eggs are slightly
weak at 25c, and still another decline
In butter is expected.
Talk about a trust formation in the
fsh market, either on the coast or in
Los Angeles, Is ridiculed. Notice was
sent to fishermen yesterday to stop
shipment of halibut for time as the
market is greatly overstocked. All
other kind of fish wanted.
Chinese peddlers showed UP in
greater numbers yesterday for business,
and trade in fish, fruits and vegetables
was more active than on Tuesday. The
Chinese need the money for the cele-

DEPARTMENT
So Many Complaints Board
Of Works Is Swamped,
lie Says.

Commissioner Augustus F. Eggers,
of the Board of Works, called the at
tention of the committee on streets to
the complaint of patrons of the Pub
lie Service Corporation concerning car
traffic north on Broad street at a meet
ing of the committee this afternoon.
Chairman Frank j. Book explained
that the cars were being crowded
beyond capacity because for some UNI
known reason The motormen held their
cars back, making them as much as
ten minutes late at the Four Corners.
Mr.. Book went on to say that he in
tended to institute early next year a
department to look after car service.
At present, he declared, too much of
the Board of Works time was taken
up by trolley troubles. With such a de-
partment complaints by citizens could
be more easily Investigated.
Most of the complaints referred to
by Mr.. Book concerned the looping Of
the Clinton cars at the D., L. and w.
station. Many persons, he said, had
protested that after getting on Broad
street cars to go to Forest Hill they
were left at the station and refused
transfers.
In regard to the Elizabeth avenu ac-
cident Mr.. Book said he thought the
question should be taken up with the
law department.
The water, lighting and sewer COM
mittees of the Board of Works met
and adjourned without tr~ansacting n
business.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. 2s.--At
the biennial Republican leve-feast to-
day. United States Senator Albert j.
Beveridge made the chief address, out
lining his views as to what should be
the future action of the party in the
State and %reiterating his former state
ment that Indiana will stand solid in
the next national convention of the
party for the nomination Of Vice
President Charles w. Fairbanks. SEN
ator Beveridge said;
after we elect our President we will
revise tariff; n man in any party
who proposes a tariff revision on the
eve of a national election is either too
uniformed or too insincere to be trust
ed. Any tariff revision unsettles ome
what the legitimate business Of the
country. but a tariff revision before a
Presidential election would prolons that
disturbance for ruinous months. Mean
while a tariff commission should gather
the facts and have them ready for Con-
gress.

BELIEVES LAWRENCE TO
BE OLD OFFENDER.
Arthur McDougall Thinks He Was Here
Twenty-four Years Acquitted to
Fool Rector and Was Arrested.

Arthur w. McDougall. secretary Of the
Bureau of Associated Charities, believes
that Walter Lawrence, who attempted to
get aims from the Rev. A. A. James, rec
tor of Christ Episcopal Church, on Tues
day night, and whom the rector held until
the police could be notified. is the same
man who, more than twenty-four years
ago, appeared in this city under the names
of James Hall and James w Williams,
and worked the same game which he tried
to work ON Mr.. James.
Lawrence went to the James rectory, at
81 Congress street, said that he had been
~wrongfully sentenced to jail, and since his
recent release was trying to live down the
disgrace. Mr.. James had heard a similar
story about two months ago, and had be-
friended the teller who repaid him by
forging checks TO the amoun of about $500
on the man who gave him employment.
When the clergyman suggested to Law
renee that the police Investigate his story,
he tried to escape, but was held until a
detective arrived. When questioned by
Captain Christie, of the Third Precinct
Police Station. he admitted having served
time in several prisons.

INSIST HE'S
A GHOST
Away by Family WHO
Believe False Report and
Wave Phantom" Away.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Reported
dead, Lazar Wolhsh was turned away
as a ghost when he appeared in the
flesh after a period of absence. He
wasn't buried in the Zion Cemetery,
this city. despite his inscription being
chiseled on a tombstone.
According to the city records Lazar
Wolish was inferred here with fitting
ceremony on August IL last, at an ex-
pense of $50 to the Komoyonka Stru-
malo Benefit Society, and in the pres
enc of seventy-five members of that
organization,
And, according to the sight of all
Komoyonkaians in his native country,
Austria, LaZar Wolfish appeared to
them in seeming human flesh one
month after he had been buried in New
York. And he has been pleading vainly
there to this day for recognition as a
live human being.
In consequence the Komoyonka Stru-
malo Benefit Society is about t bring
suit against the Long Island State Hos
pital authorities at Islip, L.. l., to col
lect the $50 which was spent for the
burial in Zion Cemetery.
Wolfsh came to this country last
June and got a job as digger in a New
York Central excavation. He Joined the
Komoyonka Benefit Society.
Lazar was just learning to pitch dirt
according to the American method
when a policeman got him for making a
lrumpus at the Union Market station.
His English was no English at all;
his misfortune ratified him, and his
shriekings of innocence were so badly
noicannctrttoA fhat fhou Sant him IN
Bellevue.
From there a learned council of brain
specialists consigned him to the Long
Island Hospital. They said his case
was hopeless, which infallible expert
opinion may lave had something to do
with the certificate of death which was
shortly issued for him.
On August Lazar Wolnsh was pro-
nounced by the asylum physician to be
officially dead. The Komoyonka Strumalo
Benefit Society was duly notified; so were
Lazar's parents in Austria.
Over In Komoyonka the father, mother
and brothers Of Lazar Wolish were still in
sackcloth when one September night a
knock came to their humble door.
