THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL 81, 1910

REPRESENTATIVES oil evening ne"o'
papers in Richmond have incurred the
displessure of the police authorities, az
the following notice with show:
We have decided to give cut news
to the afternoon papers at a certain hour
In the morning and once sgain Ia the
afternoon. Newspaper reporters will be
given a bulletin at these houts con-
IaIuipg the items which we care to give
YOU. There will be no use coming
around for it at other hours, or sskirg
questions.
Afternoon newspaper reporters 10
future are to be denied free sccsss to
tbs chiefs or the dttsetives' Offices.
Heretofore it has been the custom ct
police headquirie for reporters to
mingle with and converse freely, and
as often IS they liked, with the various
q tacbes Of the department. They will
be denied this privilege 10 future and
a, en- evidence that the authorities
mean all they say, 1t may be stated that
a representative of an evening paper
was elected from the police headquarters
Yesterday. 1t will be useless for re-
poriers, upon securing an outside tip,
10 depend on the police department ior
details OF story or crime, bu! they Will
be compelled to either accept what the
department chooses ID give ont, aud a.
stated hours, and rest content With only
the most mesger facts, or work the story
on the outside on theiE own hook
The restrictions have been placed Oh
afternoon papers only. The Richmond
police department fails to give Its res
sons for this movement against the
afternoon papers. Newspaper men have
much With which to contend. Some
people imagine they have no right any
one ia bound to respect, while another
elias, often look upon them With sbou'
as much patience as they do newspaper
boyp. Sach disc. urtesits, however, are
generally shown by those clothed 10
little brief authority. SJme one in de-
fiuiug the offense, contempt OF court, "
said it depended altogether on the
character Of the tribunal. 1! might be
regarded az a trivial maltsr by the

New York, April 2l.-To the farmer,

cents a barrel.
Philadelphia, Penn, April 2l.-
Nearly all foodttufs are getting cheaper
and are likely TO remain 80 for some
time, according ID wholesale grocers here
today. Canned goods have been re-
duced an average Of two cents can.
Dried fruits are selling from 30 t. S5
cents q bushel cheaper, and the price Of
-four hiss been redu :ed 80 cents q barrel.
While there has been slight drop in
the price Of pork, there has bsen no sp.
probable reduction In beef, which still
remains high.
Boston, April 2l.-Provlsion dealers
here expect decrease soon In the prices
on meats, with the possible exception
Of beef. Salt pork has fallen In price 10
the large provision stores, but other pork
products still remain the same. There
hes been little change In the prices on
-four, butter, lard, beans aud potst)es,
but tire wholesalers expect q decline
shortly.

sect material decrease in the cost of food
stuffs will be followed by further slump
according to the plei'ctitn OF local
market men, grocers and butchers Idsy.

The Alabama Mine Horror.

Birmingham, Ale, April 2l.-WheD
the hospital car OF the Tennessee Mining
Company reached Mulga today, where
fiit3en white and from ten to twenty Ave
negro miners were entombed by 40 ex-
plosion lste last night, plans we're CON-
ple!ed to send men into the mine. The
work OF rescue Is difficult. The shaft
house was destroyed, the cages spruog,
and the timbering above the FIST level
blown out,
Attempts to enter the mine to aid those
entombed we're futile, owing to tSe gas,
and there was au all-aigkt wait uutil
the hospit'l car, equipped With gas he!-
mt t. and life savings apparatus, got to the
scene.
There is q chance that some OF those
eniombed are alive although old miners
say the possibility Is remtt', as fire fol-
lowed the blow Cu. and gas is present IN
large quantities.

SOME Of the progressive repuollcsns
In Washington ere still unconVinced
that Seustor Aldrich'S announcement OF
retiring Is made in good faith and With
Gu, mental reservation. They believe
his retirement will depend on the result
of this IalFs congressional election. l.
the democrats capture the House, Mr..
Aldrich, these prOgrsssives figure, will
reiu,e reelection, as democratic control
OF the House would make 1t impossible
10 carry ont bis central bank plan or to
serve further 10 a legislative way the In
terests be represents. But 10 the un-
likely event that ths republicans retain
their majority in the House, then the
progressives believe Mr.. Aldrich will
claim this is VIndicstIon for him, and
will yield to the demsnds Of bis friends
that he take one mora term 10 the Sem
ST.. 1, will be also observed that Soma
tor Bales announcement that he will
not be 8 candidate for reelection has q
string to 1t.
