DR.. DAWSON MAY
DEBATE ON WAR
Local Pastors Name Men,
toned i'm Connection With
Brooklyn Challenge.

The name Of Rev. Dr. W. ]. Daw-
son, of the First PRESBYTERIAN Church
has been mentioned by Rev. DR.. New
ell Dwight Hills, of Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, as a possible participant In
debate with Henry ,Weisman, Of
Brooklyn, head of the German-Amer-
lean Alliance, In that city.
A week ago last Sunday DR.. Kills
delivered an anti-Gerrnan sermon IN
his church. and as a result, was chal-
lenged to a debate by Mr.. Weisman,
in his opinion an Anglo-American
minister would be better equipped to
meet Mr.. Weisman in debate.
Among the ministers named by DR..
Hills was Rev. DR.. Dawson, of this
city The latter said today he had
not heard anything from DR.. Hills,
or anyone concerned In the matter
and that unless he did, he preferred
to refrain from making any comment
on the matter.
In a letter to Mr.. Weisman, declin-
ing the debate, DR.. Hills wrote:
IF 1t is true that when Germans
drink TO the Day they mean 'tht
day when they will meet and destroy
England and make her a German
province, it Is the English American

EIGHT POUNDS LESS MEAT
FOR AVERAGE PERSON IN 1914

with 1913. Hogs decreased 1850, 900
head equivalent to 34,000,00o pounds
of pork. For the same period the cat
tie supply was 10000 head short, rep
resenting a decrease of 441,000,OoO
Sheep fell off s05.000 head, or a mutton
shortage Of 100000 pounds.
Notwithstanding the immense short
age IN live stock during the year, the
wholesale prices of packers to local
butchers are in some cases the Same
and in many instances lower than
year ago.
The business depression followed
the calamity on the continent, the in
dustrial stagnation in the South be-
cause of It's inability to market the
largest cotton crop ever raised, the
gradual removal Of the tariff from
sugar, the financial uncertainty and
early In November an outbreak of the
foot and mouth disease. All were big
factors in contributing to the growth
of the vegetarian cult and fewer visits
to the butcher.

habitant is short eight pounds OF meat,
compared with the year 1913, it is es /

Is nothing really alarming in this sit
uation, it IS pointed out, for the Amer
lean public is not clamoring for meat,
as formerly.
Several years Of extremely high
prices are having their effect in cur
failing the demand for meat. The
consumer is thinking twice before he
coddles up to beef that has cost the
packer s12 to s14 per hundred to put
in the cooler, for when 1t is placed be-
fore him in the form of a roast or
steak, 1t loses its dividend paying

it's cost is considered.

MARKET MATTER
MAY Be PUT UP
TO NEW MAYOR
Common Council Expected TO
Again Pass Resolution Call
ing for Bids.

According to reports the Common
Council tonight will make an effort
to override Mayor Haussling's veto
on the resolution calling for the ad-
vertising for bids for the new city
market. Several days ago Mayor
Haussling gave the resolution back
to City Clerk Alexander Archibald,
and although the envelope in which
It was placed was sealed, It became
known that the Mayor refused to
affix his signature to the resolution.
It Ia reported that the Democratic
members of the board will vote IN
favor of the market resolution and
Alderman George w. Taylor, Progress
cast his vote with the majority. This
number will be sufficient to override
the veto of Mayor Haussling.
That the Republican members Of
the council will oppose the move .s
| a foregone conclusion. When the
council, at its last meeting, passed
the resolution. every one OF the mi
nority opposed It.
In the event Of the council over
riding the veto Of Mayor Haussling,
the resolution will then be laid over
for Mayor elect Raymond to deal
with The time from the meeting to-
night to the date when Mr.. Ray
mond will become head Of the city
is too short In which to advertise for
| bids.
Mr. Raymond will have the right
to either approve or veto the resolu-
| ton II passed by the council. If lie
disapproves and vetoes the resolu-
ton then 1t can be again taken TO
the city council. After the first Of
| the year there will be only twenty
Democrats in the council. This num-
Der is not sufficiently large to pass
a resolution without the signature OF
the mayor. If two Republicans Will
! vote with the Democrats then the
resolution can be passed over Mayor
Raymond's head.
