WILL SHOW BALKANS a
HE WAS NOT CROOKED

John X. Duletich has been re-
leased from the county Jail, where
he has been held for over two
months under charge Of abscond:
ing with $780, belonging to the
Servian Society Balkan Of this
city, of which order he was treas!
urer. The prosecuting attorneys
office finally released Duletich;
having no proof of his guilt.
Now Duletich wants to prove to
his fellow countrymen that he was
on the square and he asks them to
meet him tomorrow evening at $40
Main avenue. All members Of the
society are especially requested to
attend this meeting as Duletich is
anxious to account for every cent
of money that he handled. He had
left town when the charge was
made against him, but says that he
had no intention of running away.
Further, he says that a committee
Of six whihc audited his books
found that instead of his being
short the society actually owed
him $432.28.
The charge of shortage is said
to have been founded on the fact
that great many of the members
had not paid their dues and that
Duletich had tried to carry them
as members until such time as
they could pay up. The outcome
was that he was arrested on a
criminal charge and spent two
months in Jail before he could I'm
ally establish his innocence of in
tent to defraud.

WHEAT SKIN GAME ExACTS
ITS TOLL FROM SPOKANE
Price Of Flour Increases Five Cents Per
Sack and Bread May Follow.

In Portland flour has advanced
40 cents per barrel; on Puget
Sound 20 cents, and at Winnipeg
20 cents per 100 pounds.
The mills of Spokane are sup
piled with enough wheat to last
until new wheat comes in, but the
price of flour follows the general
Patten uplift.
Several bakers said today that
they would have to either reduce
the size of the loaf or raise the
price. Other bakeries. among these
the largest. have -four enough on
hand for months yet and they say
they will make no difference in the
price.

ct members are considering thou
sands of letters protesting against
the Patten bull operations In Chi
cago. The general opinion Is that
no federal statute can deal with
the situation. Representative
Townsend of Michigan Is prepar
ing to make corners impossible by
law.
A possible remedy is suggested
in a provision Of the Sherman law
designed to offer protection from
conspiracy In restraint OF trade
Many think this Is not broad
enough to cover the present case
Townsend is acting on that theory
Secretaries Wickersham, Ballin
ger, Nagel and others held con
ference on the matter yesterday
but their decision Is unknown.
CHICAGO. April 15.-The most
disastrous effect of the Patten cor
ner Is apparent in poor west side
neighborhoods, where bread has
raised a cent per loaf. 1t is ex
pected a corresponding raise will
be made by better bakeries.

The people of Spokane, like the
people Of every other city in the
United States and Canada, will
have to pay their share Of the mil.
lions that Patten has made in his
Chicago wheat gambling corner
and enough in addition to make up,
rs far as they can be squeezed,
the losses other dealers and legiti.
mate interests have suffered
through the great skin game on the
most absolute necessity of life.
Flour in Spokane has within the
past two days increased in price
IS cents on the barrel, which in
the retail trade means an increase
to the consumer Of Ave cents per
sack. The btst grades of -four are
now $3.50 per sack and the lower
grades are not enough cheaper to
shout about.
The price of bread has not yet

an increase will be made unless
there is a speedy recession Of the
price of wheat and -four.
Thus the wheat gambling game

fetal tax that you did not consent
to and have no knowledge Of how
It was imposed. The answer is
greed of stock market gamblers
and laxity OF law that Will permit
