COOPERATION FOR
WATERWAYS BILL
Thompson Urges Every Jersey
man to Write Letter to His
Representative.
Special to the Evening Star.

TRENTON, Aug. Mayor Fred
erick w. Donnelly, has received
letter from S. o. Thompson, secretary
of the National Rivers and Harbors'
Congress, urging the necessity of CO.
operative action to influence the pas
sage of the waterways appropriation
bill. He asked to get in touch with
as many Jerseymen as he can and
have them write personal letters to
Washington to insure favorable ac-
ton.
81 am convinced" Mr.. Thompson
writes, that the strongest thing that
can be brought to bear upon senators
and representatives from any given
State, and upon the Senate and the
House of Representatives as a whole,
is flood OF personal letters and tele-
grams from their constituents. But,
emphatically l do not mean letters
that are prepared and sent out to be
signed, nor kilograms that come in
Identical language from a num-
Der of people. Such things are
received with satirical laughter and
mako an impression the reverse OF
favorable; but letters and kilograms
written or dictated by the men whose
names are signed to them, stating
their desires in their own words, are
always given full attention by sem
ators and representatives. | am go
ing to try to get just as many letters
and kilograms of this kind as can be
had from all over the United States
and / would like your cooperation in
getting them from New Jersey.
The proposed appropriations for the
Improvement g. New Jerseys harbors
and rivers total $1,057,S00. This is ex-
elusive of the item of $2,250,OOO for

Two Killed, Three Wounded
by Robbers of Four
Chicago Elevated Stations

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-TWO men were
killed and three wounded last night
in robberies of four elevated railway
stations on the West Side by a gang
which used an automobile. The dead:
Policeman John Row.
John Stevens. veteran of the Civil
War, who resisted robbers when they
attempted to take cash at the Wood
street station.
Michael Gary, seriously wounded by
Policeman Nels Larson, was found in
an alley through which the robbers
sought to escape. Gustave Mentzel,
ticket agent, was shot in the leg
and W. E. Graft, a pedestrian, was
shot in the right hand.
The robbers stopped long enough at
the Wood street station after killing
Stevens to gather up about SIS. Run
ming outside, they frightened Graft,
who was shot as he raised his hands
above his head.

FIRST OF NEW CAULIFLOWER SEEN
ON STANDS AT CENTRE MARKET
Midsummer Finds Usual Large Supply of Vegetables and
Fruits Exhbted-Deaers the Prices of Foodstuffs Will
Not Rise as Result of the War.

In spite of the fact that wholesal-
ers, packers and jobbers dealing in
all kinds of foodstuffs are trying to
lift prices because of the war, the
Centre Market dealers say they are
holding the prices down, and meats,
vegetables and all other table neeessi-
ties are being sold at the same prices
asked last week. To be sure. import
ed delicacies have been increased in
price, but this was expected to hap
pen Immediately on the declaration of
war in Europe.
Dealers in meat announced today
that they would hold to the present
prices as long as possible, although
the wholesale price Is being increased
fractionally by the packers.
"Of course, we cannot get any more
Argentine beef" said one of the mar
ketmen; but never handled any. 1
do not think that its absence will be
detrimental. The fact Is that the
packers have lots of meats on hand,
and always will have. They may be
holding the supply back in the hope
that they can gouge little more
from the public.
but, until we are compelled to
charge more the dealers in this mar
ket have decided to hold to the same
prices"

There is plentiful supply Of all
varieties. 1t Is of the best quality

Madison Police Justice Wants
More Stringent Dog Ordinance


Special to the Evening Star.
MADISON, Aug. when the
Board of Health meets Wednesday
evening it will receive a communica-
ton from Police Judge William
Tyacke, jr.. suggesting that 1t pass
an ordinance making 1t a punishable
offense to let dogs run at large. He
suggests that a penalty of not more
than five dollars be imposed for the
breaking of this section of the ,ordi-
nance to be passed. Mr.. Tyacke also
recommends that a penalty of ten
dollars be provided for keeping vi
cious dog on the premises. He states
that the board has power to pass such
an ordinance.
A proclamation issued by Mayor B.
d. Philhower, following the biting of
Charles Philhower, of Gibbons place,
by mad dog, covers most of the pro-
visions. except the keeping of a vi
cious dog and the penalty imposed.
In the proclamation 1t only provides
that all dogs breaking the proclama-
ton will be taken by the poundmas-
ter. The fee for redemption of dogs
is one dollar.

MEAT PRICES ON
UPWARD TREND, IS
PACKERS REPORT
Shortage of Supply and War
in Europe Given as Main
Causes.

Despite the quotations offered by
the meat dealers in Centre Market
THIS morning, found in another
column, 1t was declared by the New
ark representatives OF the Western
packers today that there has. been a
positive advance in the prices of beef.
mutton and pork. They also say that
unless there are greater shipments of
i've cattle the prices will make a
1urther advance next week. The in
crease is said to be due to the war
only IN part. A short supply is mainly
blamed
Not only the packers representa-
tlves, but retail butchers through
out the city take exception to the
market quotations. James Clifford,
In charge of the local office of Ar
mour & Company, said today that
he did not believe that retail mer-
chants could secure a living profit
II they continued their present CAM
paign.
He added that it was unjust to
place the blame for the present state
of the market on the packers. He
called attention to the fact that Ar
gentine beef had entirely disap-
peared
I'm this branch the Armour COM
ters as we did of domestic" he said.
The whole trouble lies in the fact
that there is an insufficient supply.
We simply cannot get the amount of
meat demanded by the consumers"
He added that the quotations for
carcasses had increased from one
half to one cent a pound within the
last week. Pork in pickle sold last
week for $3.50 a barrel now brings
1913, and the end is not yet. There is
a like rise in the price of mutton.
81 do not see how prices can be
lowered at present" said J. c. Fer
guson, of Swift & Co. "Unless the
shipments are increased there is
bound to be a further rise in res.
"Of course, there is another ,.e to
1t. If meats go to an unreasonable
figure the consumption will generally
stop. Then, and only then, will there
be decline. l look forward to this.
1t is only natural that people will
cease to buy the thing that gets be-
I'd the reach of their | ocketbooks. j"
One of the best known retail butch
ers in Newark said that 1t was impos-
sible that good meat should be sold
now at the prices prevailing last
week. He added that his trade had
fallen off considerably because of the
high prices. He did not attribute the
increase to the wartime conditions,
but solely to the short supply.
