Fuaua's Charges Against Heads Of

HE REFUSED TO RESIGN
Commissioner Gray Makes a state,
nent Today In Which He Says
Fuqua VIII be Discharged
for characterization.

That former Night Captain Fuqua
will be deprived of his star sometime
next week was the statement made by
Commissioners Gray this morning in
answer to an inquiry. The charges
made by the deposed captain have be-
come SO personal, says the commits
sioner, that they can be overlooked
no longer and for the good of the SER
vice and to maintain discipline in the,
department, Fsuqua will be asked to
give up his star.
Il will let Fuqua go sometime next
week. said Mr.. Gray today, in order
to keep the department out of the
hands of the patrolmen. fl kept
Fuqua, the discipline Of the depart
ment would be a minus quantity. for
the officers would soon think that
they could make any kind Of talk that
they wished and not be punished for
1t. Fuqua's charges against us, If they
are allowed to go, would give the cit
liens of Keokuk an impression that
there was something to them and that
we were afraid Of him, and in order
to show them that we have nothing to
conceal and invite investigation, we
will be obliged to discharge the form
er captain.
Il have always considered Fuqua
one Of my best officers and when /
made the change at the station and
put him on day beat, had no idea
that he would act as he has. He has
made numerous applications for day
work, saying that he could not sleep
in the day time and Thought was
helping him when / changed him. An
other phase of the matter was the
fact that all the night men had been
making complaints about him to me
and as they were not giving the best
Of service | thought that I could help
matters by taking him off the night
desk, That my interest in his own
welfare has not been appreciated, is
plainly shown by his actions of the
past two weeks. He has forced this

Driven to Beans.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IF you
want something to take the place of
meat that won't turn profits over to
the beef barons and will save you
money in these days of high prices
eat plain beans.
This was the remedy suggested to-
day by DR.. R. E. Doolittle, DR.. Wileys
successor as Uncle Sans chief of the
pure food board.
Eat beans, if beef is too expensive
said Dr. Doolittle, in statement to
the United Press. "They are the best
substitute for beef. One should not
eat meat, anyway, more than once
daily, depending, of course upon the
physical condition and employment OF
the person. Hard workers need more
meat than those in sedentary work.
1t seems to me the harder man works
and the lower his wages, the more
meat he needs. Meat is protein. Pro-
TEN is strength
But beans are high in protein per-
centage. Not canned beans but home
baked beans are the pest. canned
vegetables of all kinds are not as good
as fresh.
"Other good substitutes for meat of
high protein value, are peas, all kinds
of nuts. cheese and milk.
"Mind YOU, I'm not recommending
vegetarian diet as the best and only
dict INT substitutes for meat. Sugar,
too is healthful to give physical
strength. Oatmeal contains some fat
but breakfast foods, generally are
merely starchy.
IF fish cannot be considered meat,
| would recommend fish as substi-
tute for meat, but generally, fish
prices follow those of meat.
Beans and peas, however, are the
best of all for meatless menu, but
eat meat once a day II your stomach
and pocketbock feel like it."

Cheaper Than at Home.

LONDON, Aug. Though Eng
land is not cattle raising country,
because too small for very many
head to find standing room, though
the cost of bringing it from thousands
of miles away has to be added to
prices the English pay for meat, and
although the British think these
prices are perfectly exorbitant, meat
costs less in England today than it
does in America. English-raised beef
is supposed to be very expensive, but
the best cuts were quoted today from
II to % cents per pound. Foreign beef
was 13 to Is cents per pound. This
is compared with 20 to % cents for
round steak in America or % to 35
cents for porterhouse. English raised
mutton costs 20 to % cents and i'm
ported mutton, to Is cents. English
veal costs is to 20 cents and imported
veal 8 to IL. Pork costs IL to 10 cents.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 2.-The high
price of meats announced in Chicago
today has been felt in Denver and
the Rocky mountain region for several
weeks, though prices have NOT been az
nigh as those prevailing in Chicago
today.

ers have relied to offset the great
shortage in corn fed beef falls short
OF last years output and following an
increase of $1.50 per hundred weight
over last years prices beef on the
hoof promises to. go still higher.
The best grassers today are bring.
ing from $500 to s7.75 here on the
hoof. Corn fed cattle which brought
a record price of $500 in the local
markets some time ago will 20 much

Retailer Loslns Money.
SPRINGFIELD, III. Aug. 1.-THE
consumer is paying 10 to IL per cent
more, but the retailer is losing the
money"
This was the statement today of sew
eral leading retailers, regarding the
increase In meat products during the
past five months All agreed that
there has been a Is to % per cent in,
crease in the wholesale price but
each declared that he dared not make
more than ten per cent increase to
his retail trade or the people would
quit eating meat.
| Local heads of Chicago packing
firms said it was impossible for then
4 to get first grade meat enough to sup
ply the growing demand.
