SUPPLIES ARE
PLENTY HERE
Stores Will Be Equal to Increased
Demands Coming Up...Famine
In No Lines.

Inquiry made yesterday as TO the
readiness of merchants to meet the
increased demands which will soon
be made upon then; by reason OF the
much larger activity in the district,
which resumption at McGill of work
to full capacity in all departments
will bring about, resulted in finding
that the stores will be equal 20 calls
and that no famine in any line OF
staples is probable. Therefore there
should be no increase in prices which
have lately prevailed.
The inquiry made resulted from re-
ports which have lately been current
of counternrlIding of orders placed
earlier in tie year by local mer-
chants. With circulation of the re-
port Yesterday of the intention OF
Cumberland Ely to go ahead with the
construction work on concentration
and smelter, question was raised on
the streets as to the ability OF the
merchants to meet the situation with
regard to furnishing supplies equal
to the larger demand which will come
with return of full working forces.
Investigation developed that while
there has been some countefmand-
ing of orders this manner OF action
has not been near so general as ru-
NOR indicated. Curtailments have
been mostly in orders for luXuries
rather than in staples. Holiday
goods orders have been pretty heavliy
cut. Some merchants will counter
mand the countermanding orders put
in as soon as they learn OF final de-
cision with regard to resumption at
McGill. which will now be q matter
of but a few days Others conslc CT

arrives for the placing of spring ana

A feature entering importantly
into the situation is extensive pur-
chases in the last few months from
stores which are either Closing ou'
now or have lately closed out. These
offered goods at largely reduced
prices and the thrifty stocked ul

supplies which will carry from week

FRISCO BOY
Tells VIVID TALE
TO JUDGE

Pittsburg. Dec 2S.--IIoward Ray, To-
year-old lad, on his way to San Fran
cisco. hoping TO find his home and his
parents. whom he left before the earth
quake, told a sensational story OF adven-
ture as a sailor, OF being shanghaied py
the crew of a British ship and OF being
mistreated by United States consul In
Brazzl to whom he applied for relief. In
the police station here last night when
he applied for lodging.
When 13 years old. he said. he shipped
as cabin boy at San Francisco on tne
steamship Chill bound for Cape Town.
As cabin boy and as ordinary seaman
often performing the full duties OF a
grown man. he worked his way on differ
ent ships to Sydney, Melbourne and TO
many other places, finally landing at Rio
Janeiro Brazil. where he was seized with
desire to return homo. he shipped on
a boat bound for Norfolk, Va. and reach
ed that port was given his pay for
his voyage, and his discharge.
Walking through the streets or Nor
folk he says, he was suddenly seized by
sailors from the British coal steamer IL
tiania and carried aboard where he was
kept a prisoner until the ship sailed. Then
he was released and put TO work as
sailor. The ship was short OF men ana
he was forcibly taken on as a recruit.
In course of time he was again in Rio
Janeiro, where he complained 10 the Unit
ed states consul. That official the lad
AYERS gave him curt treatment, hushed
up the fact of his having been shang-
haied. after several conferences with the
British consul. and finally refused to as
sist. him to get back TO the United States,
because he could not produce proof that
he was an American citizen. The British
consul. the laid says. secured him
chance TO work his way TO New York,
where he arrived a few days ago. He
stole his way TO Altoona. Pa, on freight
trains. he says. and the authorities at
the latter plave gave him transportation

SCHOOL COMMITTEE VOTES
DOWN HOGAN RESOLUTION

John w. Hogan's resolution iEstructing
the committee on bylaws to prepare and
report "A set OF bylaws for the govern
ment of the school committee for the
coming year in conformity with tho re-
cent opinion prepared by city Solicitor
Baker as TO the powers of the body, was
defeated ~ TO s at the meeting OF the
committee last night after voting IA TO
10 against adopting motion by Mr.. Frost
To table the resolution.
Mr.. Hogan declared that the position
the committee seemed disposed TO take
would place II In the light OF an organi-
cation which is incompetent, incapable
and therefore not worthy OF being trust
ed TO transact the business for which II
had been elected by the people. He
thought that the time had come when
the committee should shake off the fet-
ters of government by previous organi-
cations.
Otherwise" he asserted. "the time will
come when the school committee will find
itself In a position where II cannot con-
troll the superintendent and secretary,
both of which officers will be holding
their offices by virtue OF the action or
preceding committee"
After declaring Il infeasible TO take up
the matter Of the superintendents tenure
OF office and the other points involved,
at this time, the executive committee re-
commended that, IL there be any uouDt
of the status of tho committee. It should
apply to the general assembly for such
legislation as will give the school COM
mittee ''the powers II ought TO possess.
The report asserted that Commissioner
OF Schools Waiter r. Ranger believes
this n favorable time and opportunity for
legislation enabling school committees
throughout the state 10 employ their SUI
perintendent, teachers and other employees

bers concluded the business OF the special
meeting for organization, which was
held Monday. Dec. 2 at which time it
