FARMERS GIVING
SHORT MEASURE.
OFFICIAL SAYS
First Step in ''High-Price-of-
Food" Campaign Reveals
This Situation.

John II. Sullivan, city sealer of
weights and measures, and his as
sistants, Patrick j. Caufield, Thomas
Pupilella and Jerome Nusbaum, to-
| day made a raid on the farmers in
lating a city ordinance by selling
beans and peas by bags instead of by
dry measure.
Besides using bags contrary to law.
the farmers, according to the city
sealer, also were giving short meas
ure. The bags, which are supposed
| TO contain one bushel are said to
have been between one peck and a
peck and a half short. This action
the city sealer has been conducting
of the rise in food prices since the
beginning of the European war.
1t was scarcely daylight when the
city sealers men came. First they
informed the farmers they were vio-
lating the law. Then they seized tl4e
bags, and, notwithstanding the objeo-
tons of the farmers, ripped them
open and dumped the beans and peas
ers offered any but a verbal objec-
ton, but the city men were assailed
with vigorous language of varying
intensity as they went about their
work
The farmers were ordered to OBJ
tain standard baskets or else refrain
from selling their goods. All the
availa BILE baskets were put into use
Immediately The supply was too
short for the demand, but the mer-
chants In the market received their
beans and peas in baskets today or
not at all.
The city sealer's men also informed
all the commission merchants they
would be expected to cease buying
from the farmers unless specified
goods were offered to them IN stan
dard dry measures.
Section 264 of the city ordinances
specifies that beans and peas, among
other vegetables. must be sold by dry
measure only. The penalty for viola
ton of the ordinance is a fine of So for
| the first offense and $40 for each sub
seduent violation. None of the farm
ers today were arrested, but all were
warned the city sealer would proceed
against them If evidence of further
violations is found.
Some vegetables, such as potatoes
and onions, may be sold from bags.
for the city ordinances permit them
to be placed on sale by weight.
New Kind of Basket Found.
Besides descending on the farmers
today the city sealer's men also
browsed around the rest of the mar
ket, and were rewarded by finding a
new kind of quart basket. This is
made of fiimsy material, permitting
! the sides and bottom to be STAYED In
easily. Although correct measure is
given by these receptacles in good
condition, when the bottom and sides
are pushed in their capacity is re-
duced as much as one-haf Although
/ none of these baskets was confiscated,
; the merchants who had them were or
dered to refrain from using them I'M
/ der penalty of the law.
The city sealer's men today are con-
! tinuing their investigation of the rise
J in food prices. A mass of evidence
has been obtained already, City Sealer
Sullivan said today, and turned over
to Mayor Haussling, who directed
that the probe be made. In day or
two, he said, it is likely drastic action
will be taken against some of the Of
tenders

Another story published here is t.
the effect that two Belgian officers
manacled to the stirrups of horse
men, were obliged in this manner to
accompany the cortege through the
city. The spectacle provoked an angry
growl from the populace, who were
threatened by the casalrymen.
On the whole, however, the people
of Brussels were very self-possessed.

HONOR TO WASHINGTON.

George Washington continues to be loved and
honored by the American people. The celebra-
ton in Alexandria yesterday in honor of his
birthday was a great tribute from a loyal peo.
pie TO this great man. That the president of
the United States. the governor of Virginia,
members Of the cabinet and of congress with
Masons and military from Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia should assemble to do honor
TO citizen and Mason, was a high testimonial
to the peoples reverence Tor vlTgln1a-s dis.
tnguished son.
There is something touching about the beau
ttful custom of the Alexandria Washington
lodge of Masons in holding this annual celebra-
ton on the birthday of the Father Of His Coun-
try. This worthy practice has been followed
regularly since February o. 1899. The occasion
is always notable one, but it has rarely been
made more notable than in the great demon
stration of yesterday. We are gratihed that our
crack military command the Richmond Light
Infantry Blues should have been honorod as
special escort of yirginia's governor on this
occasion.
