City Gang Trying TO Reward
Speakers Trlppe.

The most interesting development Of
the past week was the nomination by the
Democratic city organization Of Speaker
Trippe at the head of the list of men from
whom the Governor is to select member
of the Board of Election Supervisors for
Baltimore City.
The Anti-Saloon League has charged
that this isan attempt on the part OF the
city gang. which has already twice killed
the local option bill. to reward the Speak
er for appointing as chairman Of the
Temperance Committee man who owns
property used for saloon purposes and for
his other past and prospective services to
the liquor traffic and against the local
option bill. The League says that this
throws much light on the desire of the
Speaker to pose as impartial on this
question, for he evidently wanted this
appointment to get by safely; and that it
accounts for his resentment when the
League forced him into the open in his
true light as an opponent Of the bill.
A number of the leading pastors Of the
city have taken up the cudgels for the
local option bill and against the effort to
secure unfavorable action by the COM
mercial bodies. Among the leading
pastors who discussed it last Sunday were
Rev. ]. Ross Stevenson. d. D.. pastor Of
Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church.
Rev. Charles H. Dodd. D. D.. castor
Eutaw Place Baptist Church, Rev. De-
Witt M. Benham, D. D.. pastor Central
Presbyterian Church. Rev. T. o. Grouse,
D. D., pastor Mt. Royal Methodist Pro-
testant Church, and many others,
The hearing of the local option advo-
Gates was great success. The League
took down special train and had "a
speeches in hours, representing tens OF
thousands Of people and scores Of organi-
zations. A spirit of earnestness and de-
termination was the keynote underlying
the entire hearing.

County his petition to the Honorable
Court that he (the spetitioner) may be de-
clared duly elected to the Office of County
Commissioner of Cecil county for the

District is composed Of the Fourth, Fifth

Women's Boycott Causes Tumble
In Butter and Egg Prices.

Butter and eggs will soon be selling at
prices within the reach OF the average
householder
This prediction was made Saturday by
men close to the. markets. following
another drop in the price Of butter at the
Philadelphia Produce Exchange. In less
than two weeks the drop in this COM
modify has been II cents. and it is said
speculators are facing heavy losses.
Counting on continued prohibitive prices.
they bought heavily, and now that the
decline in the market has come, they are
forced to sell at less than purchase price.
Fresh eggs are now selling wholesale
at as and SO cents, and retail at 10 and Al
cents. Within the next two weeks, il is
expected that the retail price win drop
from to 10 cents.
Best grades of butter sold at the Prod
uce Exchange Saturday, for 20 cents.
Ten days ago the price was Al cents
The drop of IL cents 10 the Wholesale
price in this time is slowly working its
way into the retail trade. and prices will
be low generally throughout the city
this week.
Just what has brought about the steady
drop in butter the commission men were
not prepared to say Some of them how
ever. admitted that the boycott in force in
Philadelphia and other cities has been a
large contributing cause.
Many thousands of householders re-
fused to buy butter at the prohibitive
prices. and as consequence the dealers
who have large stocks on hand are facing
the alternative of selling now at the high
est price they can get for their goods or
holding it in storage. They are not
favorably impressed with the thought of
keeping the product in the warehouses.
because they have no means of telling
just how low the prices win drop. So
they are selling now, many Of them at a
loss. for the best price that the market
affords.
