DEALERS IN MEATS
R|D|CULE STORY
Retailers Say Figures Have
Not Changed More Than a
Fraction in Weeks.

Retail dealers in fresh meats at Cen
ter market today ridiculed the stories
recently published in regard to sharp ad-
vances in the price OF dressed beef. pork,
mutton. veal and lamb Such state
ments. half dozen dealers declared. are
unwarranted and have absolutely no
basis in fact.
Retail prices of meats have not fluc-
tuated more than fraction Of a cent
pound in several weeks" one of the
largest retail dealers stated today 1T
is fact that the retailers margin OF
profit has been materially reduced. but
the consumer is not suffering by reason
of this. Packers prices have made
slight advances from time to time, but
as yet the retailers are not actually los
ing any money. Furthermore, In some
lines retail prices are actually lower to-
day than they have been for some time.
and In only one or two lines nave any
advances been made"
A canvass of half q dozen retail meat
stalls in Center market showed that prices
remain exactly where they have been 1ol
the past month. except in the case OF
sirloin steak, which has advanced from
% to SO cents a pound; porternouse
steak. which is now 80 to 35 cents a
pound. as against 30 to so cents a few
weeks ago. and round steak, which Is
now - cents a pound, a 3-cent advance
over prices of a month ago. To counter
balance this in measure pork chops
have declined to 20 cents Il pound, with
pork roast selling at the same price
Prices for these pork products two weeks
ago were % to % cents a pound. AL
other dressed meats remain at prices tina,
have ruled for from two weeks to q
month or more.
Drought conditions that have wrought
havoc with gardens, farms and orchards
in other parts of the country have ap-
parently had little effect on the regions

GEORGE HUGHES. AGED 70.
SUED BY WIFE JUST az
She Says He Called Her Mother
IAN Old Dutch Hen
Asks $50 a Week.

Mrs Cora G. Hughes. who has sued
George Hughes, a wealthy resident OF
Poughkeepsie, for "a separation on sew
eral unusual grounds. asked Justice
Mills, in the Supreme Court at Mount
Vernon Yesterday. for $50 a week all
mony and counsel fees pending the
trial.
Mr.. Hughes is seventy years old aad
worth. his wife says 100000, while
the plaintiff is forty-two. They were
married on December 81. 1912 accord
ing to Mr.. Hughes, while Mrs. Hughes
says the ceremony occurred on Decen-
Der II, 1912. Mr.. Hughes says his wife
is not entitled TO any alimony because
of an ante-nuptial agreement in which
he gave her a So, 900 interest in his
property.
About three months after the we'd
ding Mrs. Hughes brought the action
for a separation, alleging cruel and in
human treatment. Among her allega-
tions are the following:
That her husband found fault with
her If she spent over ID cents for
breakfast; that he told her a number
of times he intended TO take a snake
or an eel and, after tying her hands
and feet. le would swing it TO and fro
in front of her; that he said she vas
crazy and threatened to put her in an
asylum; that he insisted when she was
eating fish, that she must eat the skin,
saying that it would be wasteful TO
throw 1t away; that he called her
mother an "old Dutch hen" and threat
ened TO put her in a dungeon in the
cellar.
Justice Mills said he would pass on
the alimony question after he had read
all the papers.

Mrs. Goodwin and her men last night
toied up the long flight Of steps that
where the medlums's quarters are, and
reverentially seated themselves upon
camp stools in the semi-circle of wor-
shippers. And for a long time they
listened patiently and with interest to
mysterious voices that TO them seemed
To come from plain ordinary wooden
cabinets. And then they got impatient.
Mrs. Goodwin suddenly leaped TO her
feet as did her detectives and loudly
announced that the spirit mediums

CANCER PATIENTS GAIN

Rabbit Serum Show Improve
ment, Scientists Report.

Boston, May 10.-A marked improve
ment has been noted in the condition
Of the nifty cancer victims at the Mas
sachusetts homeopathic Hospital
who have been inoculated with the
rabbit serum recently discovered by
Or. Howard w. NOVEL;. of Boston Uni
versity. That is the substance Of an
announcement made tonight by Il
committee of five physicians connected
with the Evans Memorial department
of clinical research at the hospital.
Within forty light to ninety-six hours
after the first incubation. says the re-
port, all the patients were made so
comfortable that opates have been dis
pensed with.
While some Of the patients have
shown a gain in weight. DIR. Novel;
said that sufficient time has not
elapsed to draw conclusions from the
changes. He does not advise any one
TO take his treatment where surgery is
possible and With his fellow physicians
recommends that at least a year
should pass before definite statements
may well be made"
DR.. NOVEL; admitted to-day for the
first time that he had apparently
"cured" many rabbits of cancers grown
from his virus obtained from a human
malignant growth. Previously he had
rabbits. He disclaims, however. that
he has a cure for the worlds second
greatest scourge." In reply to each Of
the 5000 letters which he has an
he has insisted that his work, so far,
Is only experimental.
"In all except one of the cases under
treatment or observation as yet" said
Dr. Novel;. 'it is impossible to say
that any direct action has been made
upon the size Of the growth as far as
reducing that size Is concerned. On
the other hand. there Is no increase In
the size In the one exception the growth
Is lessened, but this must not be taken
as an indication that the reduction is
the result of the treatment Not
enough time has elapsed to draw such
a conclusion.
"As soon az am able to demonstrate
that can stop the growth. then shall
know that my material is having a
direct effect upon the condition. and
with the improved health that would
follow can combat and keep the growth

Answering queries from physicians,
the committee said no hopeless cases
with extensive involvement OF i'm
portant organs" would be considered.
