MARKET MEETING
PACKED" HE SAYS
DR.. Korn Offers Views in
Face of Big Opposition
at Public Hearing.

Lyman Pouker, chairman OF the
Board of Aldermen's market commit
tee, announced last night that the
committee would favor legalizing not
only the three sites picked by Borough
President Marks for his open market,
but six or seven additional sites. The
announcement was made at pubic
hearing held by the committee in Pub
lie School 80, in East i26th ST., on the
question of legalizing the site Of the
Third av. bridge market.
The assembly hall of the school was
jammed, and the crowd overlooked into
the hallway. Almost all present were
in favor of the open markets. DR..
Abraham Korn. of the Harlem Property
Owners Association, was one of two
men who opposed the markets. The
second man represented the United
Real Estate Owners. He left the
meeting, saying that as quorum of
the committee was not present he did
not intend TO waste time by giving
his views. DR.. Korn was willing to
let the meeting know where he stood,
although he was convinced it had been
packed"
Dealers in the open market at the
Third av. bridge were somewhat pro-
voked yesterday when they read of the
bargain dey" planned for the Queens
boro Bridge market. They had
been planning a bargain day OF their
own, and the thought that the other
upper East Side market had got ahead
of them was not relished. However,
with the best grace possible they an
nounced that their bargain day"
would be next Tuesday, and that their
bargains would knock the spots out of
the greensboro Bridge bargains.
George w. Perkins. chairman of the
Mayors committee on food supply, re-
ceived 2.l00 requests yesterday for
copies Of the vegetable cook book dis
tributed by the committee, and more
than 5000 requests for the pamphlet,
What the Purchasing Public Should
Know" Mr.. Perkins considers this
ample proof of the value Of his public
school campaign. Because of the
numerous requests it will be neces-
sary TO reprint both books.

many more would come unless a set
Element was made soon.
It was said that the parade

money for them Immediately for 25
cents each. The men disappeared
later.

Snare Customers.

Letters tending to show the alleged
character of the business James j.
Farmer and Colonel William Hartley
carried on under the name Of the
Anglo American Authors Association
were introduced yesterday at the trial
of the pair and six others charged with
obtaining s1O,0OO,OOO through so-called
de luxe book frauds.
They were made incidental to the
testimony of Franklin H. Monson, OF
Adams. Mass, who sold set OF
Plutarch for $1,000 and then was IN
duced to buy an edition of Shake
speare for $500. Mr.. Monson gave
a check for 800 in advance and then
stopped it. Following the Monson
transaction the colonel wrote to Far
mer as follows:
"This is gilt-edge business. Believe
me, he is q mutt, the kind you like to
talk to about the sacredness Of con-
tracts and the criminality of trying to
secure books from you to resell at a
large profit before they are really PAID
for SO I wrote the letter as / did,
couched in very humble language, 10
YOU to show him if he tries to get
wise to resell your books before he
has them fully paid for. Why, you can
tell him you have mind to FIRE me as
recording secretary anyhow for even
daring to plan such very great Grim
iual act, and with the leading lawyer OF
the town as an accomplice, too. Amt
il awful. Mabel? Lovingly thine"
Four days later the colonel wrote. to
his dear old fat blonde pal" as fol-
lows:
"The victim il ready for the killing.
He went over and lifted the can on the
check and told the bank to pay 1t.
Cannot afford, he says to have scan
dal like this get out. He is worth fully
$4,000 in cash. Then ne put me on
the trolley after buying me cigars and
a drink of egg phosphate"
Mrs. Emma Bird, of Salt Lake City,
on the stand again Yesterday, testified
that she met Glenn Farmer through \
letter from Governor Wells of Utah.
She said she consulted no one about
her purchases, which eventually
amounted to S52 900.

CUSTOMS RECEIPTS
S13,OOO,OOO LESS
September Exports, as Well as
Imports, Show Big Decrease
Over Last Year.

Another big decrease in the revenues
of Uncle Sam is shown in the report of
the amount of duties collected during
September, which, compared with the
receipts for the same month last year,
show a loss of more than $6,200,000.
The decrease in August compared with
last wear was over S7,OOO,0OO, thus
bringing the loss in revenue at this
rort since the war began TO upward of
S13,000,000.
Both exports and imports from this
port for the month of September show
large decreases, when compared with
the same month last year. The eX-
ports for September last year were
S73.272.514: for September this year,
they were sec, AGO. 1877, loss of approx
matelv sl3,00O,000. Customs officials,
however, say that conditions are rap
idly becoming normal, and that before
long exports will get back to their ac-
customed figure. No such hope is held
out for customs receipts, however.
The following table shows the condi-
ton of foreign commerce IN this port

September last year; the figures given

A WoMAN'S WORDS

Editor Day Book - have borne
seven children and the thought of the
companionship of my husband with
out fear of hardships of motherhood
was very pleasant to me. Such are
words credited to Mrs. Clarke of Ben
ton Harbor.
How many women who read the
above words in the papers, but have
prayed night after night for true love
and companionship? How many have
wished that they never were born, at
least females, for the few words by
the justice, minister or priest has
made them married fallen women.
Verify, when al is said and done,
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-12-29

the blame for wars, envy, hatred, de-
ceit, etc., may be laid to ignorance OF
the family laws-and the example of
the Prodigal Son followed by men at
large, in all classes of society-wast-
ing their substance in riotous living
going too far with what, if rightly
understood and controIed-would be
turned into a blessing instead of a
curse to mankind.
From theologian teachers these
things should be received, but what
do they know about it? Broadly
speaking, nothing. Therefore they
are parasites on the world, reaping
where they have not sown. 1t may
be all very well to say, Jesus saves,
but with stomach trouble, congested
livers, constipation, ETC., Jesus isn't
going to do much saving then. The
persons save themselves or run for
the doctor" to get saved, who, if the
right kind of a doctor is consulted, in
forms him or her, wherein they have
erred, eliminates the trouble and tells
his patient how to avoid further COM
phcations.-Omega. .

ABOUT PROSPERITY

Editor Day Book-As one of your
constant readers wish to congratu-
late The Day Book on the success
it has so far achieved. Many Of us
thought we had free press until The
Day Book showed that we were mis-
taken. About ninety per cent Of our
publications are trucking to big
Business" Get the money" is their
motto and they exist only to profit
their owners. The Day Book is not
only Chicago daily that gives the
worker square deal.
The Day Book showed up the Trib-
une's fake cry of prosperity in fine
style. The workers must soon real
ize that prosperity is no longer for
them. It is becoming harder every
year to make a decent living. Pow
erty and sickness that we thought
could not exist in America are be-
coming general condition.
1t is useless for workers to try to
force concessions from their employ
er. A successful strike may bring

correspondent makes the following
amazing statement: 81 do not think
the question is pertinent unless the
woman to whom it is put knows how
to prevent having babies and realizes
the responsibility of bringing chill
dren into the world"
challenge your correspondent to
name any man or woman in America
who does not know the way to avoid
having children and who, but luna
tic, could live in big city and fail to
see what responsibility they are.
shall very much regret if cause
offense, but hope have made my
self plain to T. ]. A man or woman
whose heart is in the right place does
not require any enlightenment on
subject like this, but 1 am sorry to
say there are others who do not want
and would not accept it.
You will notice have not insulted
your correspondent by daring to sup
pose that he or she takes marriage to
be anything other than what it ought
to be and l trust that nobody will fire
the old gag" at me about having no
red blood in my veins, for we all have,
and most Of us have self-control as
well if we care to exercise it.-John
