, to Washington some time this week. Judging by the results of our in- quiry so far" he said yesterday. there is no wholesale raising of prices in this district. There have been increases in the price of some foodstuffs, such as sugar. meats, flour. dairy products, etc, but these in many cases are based on natural causes l will admit, however, the possibility that the timeliness of our investigation put a stop to the att tempts of greedy wholesalers and re- tailers to justify high prices through the European situation.
 "I do not say that there have been no concerted efforts to raise prices. but if such conspiracies exist the facts fail to show them One of the significant results of our investiga- tion is the discovery that an abnormal supply of foodstuffs is in the ware houses. We find no evidence that manufacturers and wholesalers are storing their wares and waiting for prices.
 Several Objections Raised.
 Objections to the investigation now being conducted by District Attorney Cropsey before Justice Benedict in Brooklyn were made yesterday by counsel representing Ar-buckle broth- CTS, the Bush Terminal company and Butler brothers. The latter concern objected to the subpoena duces tecum which, counsel said meant practically the bringing of their entire business into the court room. The objections were noted and the return of the sub- 1al
 Henry A. Morgan of the American Sugar Refining company testified that his company's reduction up to three weeks ago of output wass not due to a shortage in raw sugar, but to the falling off of the demand, and now the company finds itself swamped with orders.
 Samuel F. Boyd, vice-president of Acker, Merrall & Condit. presented a list of figures showing what his com- pany paid for refined sugar. His fig-s ures show that on one day he bought sugar at wholesale forHs4.e0 a barrel and sold it for s5.20. He said that the difference between the wholesale and retail price was generally less than this, all depending upon the de- mand for the sugar. He said that the rush of housewives to buy sugar and the raising of the wholesale prices were largely responsible for for the present high retail prices.
 One of the most ingenious excuses for an increase in the price of pota- toes, which have not yet joined in the big jump among most of the other foodstuffs, is advanced by a Franklin street restaurant.
 Attached to their menu cards yes-r terday were slips of paper reading:
 Owing to the very high price of beef we are compelled to charge 10l cents for the potatoes with roast beef"

MEAT. PRICES FIXED,
 SAY N. '. RETAILERS
Butchers Testify at Inquiry Held
 by Secretary kCAdoO

New York, Aug. 25.-Retail butch CTS, testifying yesterday before Chief Magistrate McAdoo, declared that in this town there is practically one mar ket for those who buy from the big packers, and that no matter where they go they pay the same prices. When there are differences in the prices demanded by the packers, they said, the differences are so small as not to make it worth while to leave one packer and go to another for their supplies.
 A feature of the testimony was the word of Alfred $. Benjamin, an Ar genuine beef jobber, that if the tariff on meats had not been removed the American people would now be un- able to buy any meat at all because of the prohibitive prices. He main- tained that while importations of Ar genuine beef have not reduced the price, they have controlled it to very appreciable extent and that there would even have been reductions had American bankers been farsiRhted enough to have established branches in Argentina before the European war began.
 Charles J. Higgins, district man. ager for Nelson Morris & O., varied the stories of the packers representa- tives in his declaration that the ask ing price of the branch office man. agers is not fixed merely by their judgment of the market. He said that he called up these branch of flee men every day and gave them over the telephone data from the t. xr,I,s s,1, them to determine what a fair ask ing price would be. He said they sell dom got this price, because the buy

MERCHANT MARINE.
House Considers Bill For Government
 to Purchase Fleet of ships.

Washington. Aug. 25.--Legislation to carry out plans for the establish ment of fleet of government mer-' chant ships to meet the emergency of war in Europe was up for consid- eration in the house today and ready for immediate submission to the sen- ate. The bill, approved by the ad- ministration, would authorize the in-. corporation of $10,000,000 com- pany to own and operate merchant men under the direction of govern- ment shipping board.
 No opposition to the proposed gov~ ernment purchase of foreign built merchant steamers has come from the belligerent nations of Europe, it was today at the White House, and none is expected by administra- ton officials The president believes the plan entirely in conformity with law, since no contra band freight will be carried aboard the ships.

to favor a mechanical and free hand class, although he conceded that it would be more practical, in the com mon schools, to teach the latter.
 The committee figured that a sew ing teacher could be engaged for about $200 year or less. She would not be required to devote more than one or two days week to the work, as it is probable that classes would be organized only in the Worthing- ton and kensington Grammar schools.
 Bills Ordered Paid.
 During the evening" Treasurer Frank N. Bacon read his report for the year and it was accepted without correction Before it submitted to the town clerk for publishing in the annual town report, a few more bills will have to he paid. Those ordered paid at last nights meeting were the following: l.. $. Mills, $1.25; Charles M. Weldon (painting and calcimin- ing), $69; New Britain Lumber and Coal company, $10.40; M. B. Taylor, $5.40; James w. Woodruff, $1O.96; Radcliffe Brothers, $500; Charles E. Mott, $1.S7; George B. Jones, $24.65; John H. Webber, $23.O0.
 Few Estimates Made
 It was impossible for the committee to take much action on the making of estimates for next years work as the members have no knowledge, as yet, as to the number of pupils that intend to enter the High schools in New Britain, Middletown and Meri- den, this fall. It is expected that there will be a large increase in the number this year over that for last, when the board was obliged to ask for about $1,O0O extra for this item alone.
 For each of the past several years, the school committee has been obliged to ask for mere money than was spent the year previous, and, it is to be expected that this year will be no exception. Many young people have signifed intentions of entering the high schools in the fall but, as yet. the board has not received an official list. ...
 States Attorney Investigates.

Berlin News SCHOOL BOARD WANTS "
 MODEL SCHOOL AGAIN InstTucls Secretary to Make AppI::- ], cation With State Board. CONSIDER COURSE IN SEWING

.Advisability-Three School Board
 Members to be Elected This Year
 Secretary Arthur Woodruff was in- structed by the town school commit tee, at it's meeting held last evening in the town clerks office, to make application with the state board of education for the location of model school in Berlin again this year. the one conducted for good part of last season by Miss Edna Bugbee be- ing considered big success.
 Mr. Woodruff will comply with the request of the committee at once, 50 that the state authorities may have ample time to investigate the condi- tions here and make their decision before the beginning of the fall school term which comes on Tues day, September this year. There was some delay last year, owing to the fact that the committee did not make application until after it's Oc- tober meeting, and the model school did not begin sessions until almost half the school year had passed.
 It is the plan of the school authori- ties to have the proposed school To- cated in the lower room of the Worth ington Grammar school, as was the case last year. and placed in charge of Miss Edna Bugbee again. There are about thirty or thirty-five chill dren who could be accommodated in this special room
 The conducting of the model school is mutually beneficial to the state and the town, and, for that reason, the state contributes $10O towards the salary of the instructor. The idea is to have some schools in certain parts of the state conducted in model manner. so that the state board may send it's teachers there at freouent intervals to learn the most practical methods of teaching. This necessi tates. of course. the hiring of a can able teacher who can meet the re- quirements. Subsequently, the chil- dren in the model school have th., advantage of the advanced courseS adopted for the school.
 Tn discussing last years schoo, n1sm bers of the school committee. at the meeting last evening. expressed themselves as very well pleased with the results. and hoped that the state board would see fit to locate another sch ool here.
 Sewing in Schools.
 After some discussion. the board appointed Treasurer Frank N Bacon and Secretary Arthur Woodruff a ,sf om mittee to look into the advisabil- ity of adding sewing to the course now taught in the local schools. They will make a report at the September meeting.

 Less than two weeks ago a small boy was run down by an automobile On West Main street. After the ma chine whizzed by, local clergyman picked up the child Fortunately the boy escaped with slight bruises and was able to run along to his home. The automobile turned down Church street but later backed down West Main street again to find out whether the child had been injured.
 Fined for Carrying Guns.
 Game Warden Pease of Winsted caught two men in this town Sunday with shot-guns over their shoulders. He turned them over to Constable John Conlon who locked them up in the basement of the Town hall.
 They were tried last evening before Justice Edward Prior. Grand Juror Frank C. Thompson prosecuted the case. The finding of the guns on the men on Sunday constituted prima facie evidence that they were hunting. They were found guilty and fined one dollar and costs Each hunter had to pay about $21
