r. A. Swift, manager Of III. May q
Co, Ltd: Prices of flour, sugar and
rice have advanced in our retail de-
partment. but it Is not our intention
to take advantage of the war situa-
ton by requiring the consumer to pay
any more for his goods from the pres.
ent stock. Until we are forced into
the market 10 buy new stock at the
advanced rates the prices win not be
increased. II is our understanding
that imported goods especially have
advanced owing to the fact that all
shipping has been cut OF and II Is diff
ficult to tell when we can get any
more stock. The fact that England is
rushing into the United Sstaes for
supplies has had a tendency to ad.
vance all domestic goods. Canned
meats, for instance. have taken quite
an upward fight. We have been COM
PEELED to restrain the demands OF job
bers who are under pressure from
the country stores for unusually large
supplies against the expected shortage.
Flour has advanced 40 cents barrel

tween here and the northwest-the

OF an imminent scarcity of matches.

Colleen He Married Before Sailing
Away From Home Land Was

over in Belfast, Ireland, the young
wife of Edward McCurdy, of West
Fairview, is awaiting the day when
she Will receive a letter telling her
that her young husband has saved
enough for her to join him in this
city.
McCurdy lies on a cot at the Har-
risburg Hospital with his left hand
amputated above the wrist, and his
face and body covered with cuts and
bruises. He was in the cabin which
was smashed yesterday morning in
the Enola yards when a draft of cars
started by the heavy winds dashed
into 1t, killing w. l.. Lenker and in
juring McCurdy.
McCurdy came to this country less
than two years ago. Shortly before
he left he was married to the sweet
heart of his boyhood days. The under
standing was that when Ed had made
his way in the new land, he would
send for his wife. McCurdy was al
most ready to send for his wife. He
said this morning that he had planned
to send for her after the next pay
day. which is due in about a week.
Now the voyage to this country has to
be postponed. Mrs. McCurdy will not
know of the injury to her husband un-
til she arrives here, he said.
Il don't want to worry her." he
said, land I want to break it to her
gently that I have this" and in a sad
way he looked at his disabled left
arm. Several of McCurdy's friends
visited him yesterday and wanted to
send a cablegram to his wife and his
people, but McCurdy would not let
them for fear they would worry over
his accident

Civic Club Committee Chairman
Points Out How Law Has
Worked Out in Wilkes-Barre

Mrs. n. l.. Martin, wife of the
Deputy State Secretary of Agriculture,
who is chairman of the special COM
mttee of the Harrisburg Civic Club
on "curfew" legislation in this city,
this afternoon in a statement to the
Telegraph pointed out that Harrisburg
is not too large for a law prohibiting
children from the streets after GER
tain hour at night.
After considerable investigation, V
said Mrs. Martin, Il have learned that
'curfew' laws are proving q success in
cities fully as large and in some in
stances larger than Harrisburg.
''One glaring example of the fallacy
of the argument that Harrisburg is
too large a city for such law is that
Wilkes-Barre, a larger city than
Harrisburg, has had such n law in
operation for nearly fifteen years. Ac-
cordinG to the figures of the last
United States census. Harrisburg has
some $4,000 odd population, while
Wilkes Barre has 67 900 odd"
"Oficials of Wilkes-Barre,' Mrs.
Martin went on, "have told me that the
law has proved great benefit TO that
city and has lessened the need for po-
lice rather than heightened this need.
Opponents of the surfew ordinance
sass-tae fsEwrcan not ber-enforced with
out more policemen. Not one addi-
tional officer was added to the Wilkes
Barre force when the law went into
effect"
And there the law is being strictly
enforced" added Mrs. Martin. Mrs.
Martin announced that an ordinance
which will prohibit young children
from the streets after or 10 o'clock
will be introduced within a short
time.

ObERL|N MAN IS
DOOMED FOR THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Oliver {. Bishop Urged to Become
a Candidate For Republican
Nomination
WELL KNOWN In THE COUNTY
Houck's Papers Being Widely
Signed Among Republicans
Democrats Get Busy

Friends OF Oliver c. Bishop, OF
Oberlin, member of one of the pioneer
families of lower Dauphin, is being
urged by friends in the county to be
candidate for one OF the Republican
nominations in the Second Legisla-
tive District, and offers have been
made to start nominating petitions in
his behalf II he will consent to stand.
Mr.. Bishop Is the first treasurer OF
Swatara township under the first
class township form of government,
and Is widely known not only in Dau-
phin but In Cumberland county. He
has lived in Swatara practically all
Of his life and has many friends In
Steelton and in the towns among the
hills. For years Mr.. Bishop was prin-
cipal of the schools at Oberlin and
served as assessor. His friends say
he would be a strong candidate.
Nominating petitions in behalf of
Henry Houck's denomination for Sec
retary of Internal Affairs have been
circulating in this county the last few
days and friends of DR.. Brumbaugh
will start them in his interest as soon
as the Philadelphian gives the word.
Friends of ex-Auditor General Sisson
are busy campaigning for him, al
though he has not even indicated that
he would be a candidate for Lieuten-
ant-Governor.
A set of papers for Dean Lewis has
arrived here and will be circulated by
Bull Moosers this week. The papers of
Vance G. Mccormick have been going
around for a week, it being the OBJ
ject to get as many Democrats to sign
as possible for a local showing. The
Ryan people will probably send their
papers here within a week, as they
will have to hustle to make showing
like that aimed at by the Mccormick
boomers.

lowing debate on Socialism in Hart
ford, Conn, on the night of March @
DR.. Hill says his alteration with Mr..
Hogan arose over the possession of
some papers that were lying on the

his personal property and Mr.. Hogan
attempted to leave the room with them
in his possession. DR.. Hill says he
then interefered and caught Mr.. Ho-

BENTON INCIDENT IS
PRACTICALLY CLOSED;
MURDER UNAVENCED
President Wilson Allows Villa and
Carranza to Halt Planned
Inquiry
CARRANzA- TO INVESTIGATE
Committees Work Would Be Use
less, 1t Is Said. Because of
Body's Decomposition
BY associated PYsss

Washington, d. c., March 4.-Gen-
eral Carranza's announcement that he
had appointed a special commission
to investigate the recent execution by
General Villa of William s. Benton, a
British subject, coupled with the
declaration from Great Britain that
she would not look to the United
States for action as a result Of the in
cident. was generally accepted to-day
as meaning the abandonment of the
expedition of American and British
representatives who were to have
gone to Chihuahua to examine Ben
tons body.
There is every reason to believe
that Great Britain has closed the Ben
ton case for the present. though she
has reserved the right to exact repara-
tion in the future. Englands with
drawal at this time and Carranza's $ de-
termination to investigate the Ben
ton killing of his own accord will put
the United States, it is believed, in
the position of a patient observer OF
developments, with no present neces-
sity for further inquiry into the Ben
ton episode.
Test of Authority
The decision of Carranza to ferret
out the truth of the Benton execution
will mean test of his authority over
General Villa, according to many Of
hcials here, and will further demon
strate whether the constitutionalists
intend to afford protection TO foreign
ers and make reparation for injury
done them.
One of the reasons why there Is
little tendency to press the inquiry on
the part of the United States or Great
Britain is the fact that Bentons body
already has decomposed considerably
and evidence of a conclusive charac-
ter as yet undisclosed has been in the
hands OF officials for several days.
Next steps in the situation seemed
TO depend on General Carranza. His
declaration that the United States has
no right to inquire about the welfare
of any foreign subjects but her own
will not be accepted by the Washing
ton government. Carranzas friends
here were hopeful to-day that he
would eventually alter his position on
this point and reveal a friendly atti-
tide toward the United States.
Concerned Over Others
While pressure that had been ex-
pected from Great Britain over the
Benton case has been removed; the
American government is much con-
cerned over the reported murder or
Gustav Bauch and Clemente Argerva,
Americans, the one by Constitutions
alists and the other by Mexican Fed
erals. Demands for information In
each case have gone forth from the
State Department. 1t is expected also
that messages will be presented by
American consular agents to General
CarranZa making representations on
behalf OF Spanish subjects. George C.

Delegations From Chamber Of
Commerce and Rotary Club

NO CONCLUSION REACHED
Commissioners Still Silent as to
Outcome of Shuman Case
Now Pending

City Council this afternoon got
opinions and suggestions on the pro-
posed new license tax ordinance from
the city's merchants and other busi-
ness at an open session held for the
purpose.
Practically all of the mercantile and
business enterprises of Harrisburg
We're represented by delegations from
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Rotary Club, headed. respectively, by
George 3. Tripp and Karl Steward.
There were fifteen or twenty business
men on hand.
The ordinance, in skeleton. was
offered in Council a few weeks ago,
but 1t is generally conceded by the
commissioners that the measure will
be changed considerably before 1t is
finally passed.

clusion at today's session." said Com
missioner of Public Safety H. +. Bow
man. our only purpose of comforting
on the subject is to give the business
and other mercantile interests q
chance to be heard. 1t is a foregone
conclusion that numerous changes
Will be necessary"
Following the hearing on the license
tax ordinance the commissioners ex-
pected to take UP the budget again,
although 1t was considered doubtful if
they could get to it in time. 1t had
been planned to allow each business
man few minutes to talk. The final
disposition of the budget ordinance
will hardly be determined upon, ac-
cording to Commissioner w. L. Cor
gas, before the passage of the Raunick
and Templar salary raisers, the city

ordinances which have already been
introduced and which provide for ap-
preparations.
