STORING BAD EGGS
PRODUCE WRITER IS NEARLY
SUSPENDED FOR ASSAILING
TRUST.
FRESH SUPPLIES HELD UP
Newly Laid Product Bought for II
Cents and Sold for rs to 80 Cents a
Dozen-Old Ones Laid Away for
Future-Federal Inquiry Soon.

Chicago.-Under the direction Of an
alleged butter and egg trust, thou
sands of cases Of bad eggs are being
placed in Chicago storage houses for
future human consumption. The stock
of good eggs in storage Is being CON
stantly increased, while new laid eggs,
which cost the commission man II
cents a dozen, go to the housewife for
25 to 80 cents.
Statements to this effect published
by the Chicago Produce Bulletin
known in the trades as the Green
Sheet"-nearly caused the author to
be suspended from the Chicago but
ter and egg board. He was charged
with "uncommercial conduct"
One of the "uncommercial' things
which Isaac Tuck, publisher and ed
itor of the bulletin, did was to predict
a coming break" in the price of eggs
and butter. His other "uncommercial
o~ffenses were to decry the storage and
sale Of No. 3 eggs.
In the face of an unprecedented pro-
duction, Mr.. Tuck said in his paper,
the prices of eggs and butter remain
exorbitant. Furthermore, he limited at
the responsible parties.
Investigations, following he publ
cation of the article, brought out a
general conviction among produce
men that the price board Of the but
ter and egg board regulates the prices
OF butter and eggs. It was even said
that since the conviction OF New York
poultry dealers for an identical Of
Tense many dealers had refused to
serve on the price board.
According to a few Independent deal
ers exactly the same conditions pre-
vail In the butter and egg situation In
Chicago as prevailed In the New York
poultry market when thirteen dealers
were sen to the penitentiary for con
spiracy in restraint of trade
Butter and eggs, it is said, are COM
ing on the market in unusual quanti-
ties, but, as fast as they arrive, are
being sidetracked to the cold storage
houses. A mar in the egg business
declared during the day that the price
of the highest grade eggs to the con-
m should not be more han %
cents a dozen.
September IS the long promised gov
eminent Investigation into the butter
and egg board of Chicago Is to be
taken up.

PANIC DUE TO FEAR
PICTURE SHOW HORROR IN
WHICH Sc ARE INJURED Is
WITHOUT A PARALLEL.
Frightened Boys Unconscious Shout
of Fire Starts Frantic Race for Exit
Of Theater-SenseIess Mass Soon
Fills Narrow Passageway.

Canonsburg, Pa.-Twenty persons
were s~uffocated or trampled to death,
26 were seriously injured and 80 were
less severely hurt in the senseless pan
ic at a moving picture show in the
Canonsburg opera house, according to
the revised figures, How foolish the
t panic was developed more fully
when those involved returned to their
senses enough to relate just what oc-
CURED. 1t TRANSFERRED hat there was
no fire. The fatal rush for the exit
was due alone to baseless fear.
1t developed that not even a spark
flashed. The film broke with a snap
ping noise and a bright light was
thrown on the screen. A frightened
boy imagined it was a fire and uncon-
sciously shouted out the death knell
OF more than a score Of persons as he
started the mad rush for the exit.
Bolus Dubrowski, a huge miner,
jumped from his seat and ran wildly
for the same exit. In a moment there
was fighting, struggling masses after
him. At the head of a narrow stair
way, which leads to the street, the
miner tripped. AS he rolled down the
stairs he swept from their feet many
persons who were waiting their turn
to enter h theater and soon there
was a horrible pile Of women and
children and a few men at the foot Of
he steps. Dubrowski was probably
the first person killed.
It was all I'VE within a short time.
The stairway was jammed full from
top to bottom and those behind could
not get out. Ffremen, several police
men and a few level headed citizens
untangled the human mass.

lnventing New Fruits.

Notwithstanding the past few
days Prof. n. E. Hansen has been busy
Judging the multitude of new yarie-
ties of plums which he has originated
during the past few years by crossing
the native plums and sand cherries of
the northwest with large oriental
fruits. such as the Simoni Apricot from
China and the choicest plumS from ia
pan Many varieties are coming in
to bearing for the first time, and 9th.
ers have been bearing several years,
long enough to determine their value
for general Introduction. The theory
with which Mr.. Hansen started sixteen
years ago has been proven true, viz,
that the hardness and vigor of the IA
tive plums and sand cherries Of South
Dakota can be combined in large meas
ure with the size and quality of the
choicest plums of the orient. By selec-
ton through several generations OF
many thousands of seedlings of the
native sand cherry, a faVOrite bush
fruit of the Sioux Indians, the bitter
ness and acerbity Of the skin and
flesh have been entirely eliminated.
In the cooking and preserving tests of
these new fruits. some of the hybridS,
notably the hybrids of the native plum
and Chinese Apricot, such as Hanska,
Toka and kaga. compare faVorabiy
with the California plums in quality.
