FOOD PIRATES
 WILL LOSE MONEY
Owner of Jacksonville and i Nashville Hotel Expects
 Decline In Food Prices

That those persons who are buying
 up provisions will lose money by req son of declining market and that
 prices are going down shortly is the
 opinion of Robert E. Meyers, owner of the Seminole hotel in Jacksonville and the Hermitage in Nashville He said yesterday that at the beginning of the war he rushed into the mar
 ket and bought POO barrels of flour
 to protect- his hotels He added that
 in day or two he sold the flour and
 intends to take chances on higher
 or lower market later on.
 Sugar may go higher said MT
 Meyers. but do not believe that flour and other commodities will advance materially [ am so firmly convinced any heavy consignments and I have
 thousands of persons to feed every week. I think the wheat crop will be the greatest we have ever known and that the milling interests will oper- ate to a capacity. That will be one cause for a sharp reduction, at least in the flour prices.
 | 'I am told that practically every hotel in New York Is crowded to its doors by anxious persons buying up goods because of fright occasioned 1 by the war. To my way of thinking that is uncalled for and is only as- sisting New York merchants to dis pose of shop worn goods. I do not think the war will last long and cannot see any occasion for the fright which 1t would appear has seized the people"

had been very meagre and he was forced to order scores of additional witnesses to the hearing. However, this availed little. as nothing came out of the in quest and it has been again postponed to September 15.
 As for the killing of Joe Brookins, the police still have Tom Webb, miner, in jail. Tom Webb has already been ac- quilted once on a preliminary hearing, of the murder but he has been re-arrested, and for several weeks has been confined in the county jail. awaiting a hearing which has been postponed several times on various excuses by the defense and prosecution.
 In summing up the entire work on the four mysterious assassinations which moved the governor to consider the ad- visa bility of summoning a special grand jury. it appears that the police and de- tective departments have one man in jail Tom Webb-and the evidence connecting him with the killing of Joe Brookns is of purely crcumstantial nature.
