Baltimore, January 23-Many of the ministers of this city in their sermons to- day applauded the meat boycott and urged the members of their congregations to support the movement. Denunciations of those chargeable with high prices were frequent and severe. The Rev. Henry M. Wharton of Brantley Baptist church. referring to the boycott, said:
 "If such great movement does not alarm the trusts and wake up our Con gress, then something else will happen. It is the first muttering of the distant thun- der. God save us from the storm
 The Rev. Francis H. Scott of the Cal houn Street Christian church, took as his theme, gro jail with the oppressors of the poor,'' and said:
 tThere Is no civilized country on the globe that is so enslaved and that has had It's vitals sapped to such degree as has the United States been by the trusts eat ing at it's inwards Let the man who IS expressing the poor cease his oppression or let him take his seat in a cell"

Extravaoance Cause of High Prices,

Santa Barbara, Cal, January 23.-The high price of food is due as much to the average American housewife as to the packers themselves and avarice of the monopolies, according to E. P. Ripley. president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad
 The rapid increase of money in circula- tion, Mr. Ripley said, was the cause in no small part for the present situation.
 .Extravagance," said the railroad mag nate, .is the paramount cause. Most women will pay three to four times as much for food done up in fancy packages as they will do for the same foods with o..t the frills and furbelows, which is all folderol'

Thoroughly indignant over the &C
ton of Mr. Pinchot in inducing senator
Dolliver to read a letter from him IN
the senate Thursday, president Taft
would listen to no advice that the
forester's violation of executive orders
be overlooked pending the inquiry soon
to be undertaken by congress He de-
clared the dignity of the presidential
office was being attacked and he would
be unfaithful to his trust if he sub
mitted longer.
Mr. Taft undoubtedly realizes fully
what the dismissal of forester Pin
chot means in a political way. He has
been Convinced some time that the So
called insurgents and other critics
of his administration had enlisted the
services of Mr.. Pinchot and practically
were defying him to dismiss Pinchot.

pose of putting it squarely up to the

picked up the gage OF battle thrown
down by Mr.. Pinchot through the hand
of senator Dolliver and is ready for
the coming fray.
Political observers in Washington de-
clare that the situation created by these
developments is the most tense in
many years.

January Z. 1910
'rSir:
The secretary of agriculture informs
me that on the 2Sth of December your
associate forester. Mr. Price, went TO
him and proposed TO resign or the
ground that he had been engaged with
Mr.. Shaw. assistant law officer in in
Erigating the publication in various
newspapers and magazines of articles
attacking the good name of secretary
Ballinger and charging the interior de-
partment and the land office with cor
ruptiOn. The secretary .thereupon wrote
a note to you under date OF December
% asking for your recommendation in
the premises. You did not answer. but
on January you had a conversation
with him in which YOU said you wished
to make statement which should be
read in the senate at the same time as
my message transmitting the record in
the Claws case and that you thought
you could induce senator Dolliver TO in
troduce the statement for YOU
The secretary advised against such
a course: but asked you for a recon-
mendation regarding Prices resigna-
ton that he might bring the matter to
me. to whom, he told you, it must ulti-
mately come.
INSTRUMENTATION
Without further conference with the
secretary and before making a report
to him you succeeded in making public
by having IT read in the senate, a letter
stating that you had sufficiently dis
ciplined Messrs. Price and Shaw by
reprimanding them and that YOU would
recommend that no further punishment
was required You did this before that
recommendation was submitted to the
secretary and me. whose power and
duty it was to determine from Prices
admission what action should pe taken
on his resignation.

PROBLEMS OF THE PRESS
They Are Discussed by Major Hemp
hill In Lecture mt YnIc.

New Haven, Conn, April 2i.-"Some
Present Day Problems for the Press
were discussed by Major j. c. Hemp
hill. editor of the Richmond Times
Dispatch. in his lecture under the
Bromley Foundation at Yale Univer-
sity Tonight. The income tax. the
labor question. temperance reform.
woman's suffrage. the tariff and muck
raking We're the topics presented.
Regarding the proposal to amend
the Federal Constitution to permit an
income tax. he said that such. tax
is essentially Just II imposed upon
the man whose income is 500 or $500
as well as upon tho man whose in
come is s1,0oo,000, upon the gross in
come and not the net income. and
without exceptions"
The press should deal with the labor
question. the lecturer said, With no un-
certain sound. Labor has no higher
rights under the law than capital. yet
the newspapers speak with bated
breath, so great has become the ty-
ranny o, organized labor and so weak
the Independence of the Individual"
In settling the question of true tenn
perance. Major Hemphill said a policy
must be adopted that takes into ac-
count the rights of the individual and
the security of property. AS to wo-
mans suffrage, he pleaded for
square deal" for woman. saying that
In the past I'VE have simply trihed
with her and deceived her at every
turn"
On the tariff issue, he urged consid-
GRAFTON of all questions of taxation
and revenues upon their merits and
expressed the wish that the newspa-
pers would discuss them, not according
to their effect upon the narrow public
they serve.
Muck-raking was decried in these
words: THE mobs which hang and
burn negroes in Texas and Illinois are
not worse enemies of well-ordered So
ciety than are the muck-rakers."

Employers Believe in His Hon

Foul Play.

Mystery. deep and perplexing, sur
rounds the disappearance of John Cos
tello, cashier of Schwartzchild & Sulz-
berger, who, with about $1,000 in
checks and currency, left the estab-
lishment at the corner of Sixth and
Canal streets, Tuesday at noon, and
has not been heard OF since. The mat
ter was at once reported to the police
department. but detectives detailed to
take charge of the case have not been
able to gain any information. Believ-
ing that Costello, who has the conf
dence of the company, was innocent
of any wrongdoing. Manager w. e.
Brooks, in charge of the local estab-
lishment of the company, has refused
to issue any warrants against him. and
is of the opinion that he met with foul
play on his way to the bank, where
he was to have made the deposit.
Detectives Put to Work.
The case was placed in the hands of
Detective Sergeant Wren. who ran 1t
down as far as possible. AS the mat
ter stands now. it seems that Cos
tello disappeared from the face of
the earth, apparently without cause.
Shortly after he left the office he was
seen by representative of the COM
pany. There was nothing unusual in
his dcmeanor, and no report was made
until after he failed to return from
the bank.
Immediately after Mr.. Brooks found
that he had not deposited the money
or returned to make any explanation.
a thorough examination of his books
was made. but. nothing wrong was
found Sergeant Wren was then called
in, though after working for more
than day. found no clue.
Mr.. Brooks said yesterday that Cos
tello had often had chances to take
very much more than the amount he
disappeared with in cash, Most of
what he had Tuesday was Oh paper
and payment on all the checks has
bcen stopped, though none them has
set been presented for payment.
Costello has been In the employment
of the company since NovemberSSO of
last year, having come here from
