Democrats, Expecting a
Shortage at Home, Pre-
pairing Statistics
NO FOREIGN SUPPLY
AFTER NEXT APRIL
Experts Predict Big Rise in DoA
meStic Consumption
Prices.

Washington, Feb. H. Congress may
soon be called on to place an embargo
on all exports OF foodsturs. Several
Democratic representatives are arming
themselves with statistical data show
ing the expectation of the various food
stufs during the European war and for
corresponding period Of previous
year and its effects on food prices in
this country.
II was admitted at the Department
Of Commerce to-day that the quantity
o. wheat Of last years crop available
for export purposes would be exhausted
nv the middle OF April IL exports con-
tinuc a. the present rate. or at much
earlier period if there is any material
increase. II WAS pointed out that while
tho new crop OF wheat produced in
Texas would be ready in May. this
would not be sufficient 10 meet the ex-
port demand for more than two weeks.
as il is figured that the Texas crop
will he not more than about 100000
bushels
Last years wheat crop totalled SOL
100000 bushels, 600.OOO.OOO bushels Of
which were needed for home consump-
ton, and the balance-29l 100000
bushels was available for export pur-
poses. During the six months from
July TO December last year l1S,O0O,OOO
bushels Of wheat and wheat -four were
shipped out OF the country, leaving
only 100000 bushels for export
purposes until the new wheat crop
becomes available in July next. "A
the wheat exports are now averaging
about 30,00O.000 bushels month, less
than four months export supply was
left on January ] last.
The situation is plainly worrying
the administration, for there is no
doubt, experts say, that the prices Tor
wheat for home consumption will tend
to become so great that they may be
almost prohibtive.
While the greatest interest has been
centred in the enormous increase in
exports Of wheat and wheat -four, hg-
ures available al the Department OF
Commerce show the tremendous de-
mand being made on this country for
all foodstufs as the result of the war.
Oats. barley, buckwheat, rye, rye -four.
oatmeal. rice, rice bran-all listed
under breadstufTs show big export
gains. The value of the exports Of
breadstuffs during the six months
ended last December was S2l4,296, l54,
compared with SS4,694,858 for the cor
responding period of the previous year,
or nearly three times greater:
An alarming increase is noticeable IN
the exports Of oats for the last SIX
months of 1914. compared with the cor
responding period of 1918. During the
six months from July to December,
1918. exports of oats amounted to GU
O6s bushels, valued at s303,971, while
exports OF oats for the corresponding
period of last year amounted TO 49,
sSl, $50 bushels, valued at S1s,567,746.

Ward Bread Company Hasn't
Yet Raised Prices in Forest
City-Bakers Arc Anxious.
ny telegraph to Tn. Tribun. ]

Cleveland, Feb. 12- Patrons of the
Cleveland branch OF large New York
baking company are cOngratulating
themselves on the fact that they live
in Cleveland instead Of New York, and
therefore do not have 10 pay cent
extra for the privilege Of having bread
with their meals.
The Cleveland branch Of the Ward
Baking Company still sells bread at
five cents a loaf here.
The company has not advised me Of
any increase in the price OF bread"
said Charles Schaefer, the local man
sger, tonight. 81 have no idea what
move the company will make"
Bread prices in Cleveland have not
jumped, but the situation is serious.
Cleveland bakers are fighting to pre-
vent an increase, and hope that the
wheat market may fall and relieve the
tension. Some of the bakers have Gu,
down the size OF the loaves in an ef-
fort 10 prevent adding another cent or
two upon the price.
1here Is large supply OF nour IN
the city purchased at the prices pre-
vailing before the spectacular move
ment in wheat. 1t is expected that
bread prices will remain stationary at
least until this supply is used up.
c. G. Warner, chairman of the Grain
Committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, opposes a movement started
by the city council calling upon Presi-
dent Wilson to declare an embargo on
grain. He declares such an act would
mean ruin for the country and the an
Inhalation Of the Democratic party.
J. B. Arthur, manager, and Superin-
tendent Woodruff. of the Ward Baking
Company, disclsimed any knowledge
last night of the failure Of the COM
pany to raise the price Of bread in
Cleveland, though the price was sd-
vanced here from to 6 cents loaf.

pany, vas in Pittsburgh last night, and

General Wood said he was not IN

American could make himself believe
that this nation was suffering from an

CHINATOWN like
HAGUE CONFERENCE
'Kung How Fat Toy Re-
sounds as Hip Sings and
On LeOngS Feast.

Chinatown last night welcomed In
the year 2465 Of the Chinese calendar.
Peace but not silence brooded over the
tenements Of Doyers, Pell and Mott
streets. The air gas tortured by un-
holy noises from q half dozen company
rooms, where Hip Sings and On Leongs
sat together in amity, bidding farewell
20 the old year with the music OF
Oriental orchestras, composed, il sound
goes for anything, Of drums, cymbals,
tin whistles, bricks and scrap iron.
The narrow streets were crowded
with Chinese, returning for the sake OF
Auld Lang Syne 10 the e1purgated
haunts Of their former greatness and
vice. Above the doors of each brightly
lighted shop were entwined the Ameri-
can flag and the five barred banner OF
the Monaghan Republic. But in spite.
of the influx OF old inhabitants who
left for more favorable climes when
Inspector Wakefield cleaned up China

pcrs of guides, who led parties OF
sightseers from the rural districts
from opium den" 10 gambling hell"
and strove 20 impress them with the
fact that Chinatown was still a dark
and wicked place, the moral atmos-
phere had Hague Conference out
stripped for rectitude.
The fact that Hip Sings and On
Leongs were fraternizing and wishing
each other "Kung how fat toy" which
is Chinese for Happy New Year" was
pointed out by policemen as the most
significant indication that Chinatown
has suffered change of heart, and Is
determined TO remain respectable, as
long as the police are watching, at any
rate.
Vendors OF rice cakes worked over
time with their tong-shspcd waffle
irons 70 supply the demand for that
delicacy, ard sugar cane was purchased
in great quantities TO be eaten by the
solemnly joyful crowds gathered in
the company rooms, but there was no
opium smoking, and the nearest ap-
proach TO gambling was seen in Dos

where the On Leong potentate and

that Chinatown had been tanned.

adopted, Commissioner Hartigsn can't
any specific size. The Brooks law,
enacted by the Legislature, however,
gives him the power TO compel the
weight, whatever that may be.
There has been some difficulty In
satisfactorily enforcing the Brooks
law, owing 10 the delay and red tape
required in dealing with the cases Of
violation through state channels. The
limited number Of inspectors has been
another handicap. Commissioner Harti-
gan said yesterday that he intended to
ask Attorney General Woodbury. to-day
TO designate a deputy TO attend TO
these cases. In this way he hopes TO
have violations promptly taken up and
penalties speedily dealt out.
Moral Effect on Bakers.
This method, with Deputy Attor-
ney General right at hand, would have
a fine moral effect on the bakers" said
Commissioner Hartigan. They will
realize that we mean TO enforce the
law TO the letter, and violations will
begin TO fall of. Every one Of the in
spectors IN the bureau Will be out
combing the city for violations. II we
find some Of them antsgonistic. as has
often been the case, | shall ask Police
Commissioner Woods or Commissioner
Of Accounts Wsllstein 10 send men
around with the inspectors for their
protection"
Commissioner Hartigan asserted that
his own investigation indicated that the
wheat bread bakers could keep the
price down 20 FIVE cents and still make
fair profit. HE said that several large
bakers had given him figures which
appeared TO demonstrate that fact.
A mass meeting will be held on the
East Side tomorrow night, at Christ
dora House. l47 Avenue b, to discuss
the advance in the price OF bread.
Some Of the city officials are expected
20 address the meeting.
A good many OF the cities and towns
in New Jersey are following the lead
of New York and raising the price Of
bread 10 six cents. The higher price
has gone into effect in many Of the
bakeshops in Newark, Paterson, Eliz-
sbeth, Washington and other places

Gigantic Arson
 Trust Revealed

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 12,-What is believed to be the foundation of a gigantic arson trust was unearthed here today by the county officials, assisted by city detectives, when four arrests on arson charges were made The reason for the arrests being made was that this city has been visited by several very disas- trous fires lately, believed to be of incendiary origin.
 The arrests bear out the theories of the authorities, as one of the men taken into custody has par tially confessed, and has implicated number of prominent capitalists of this city. Warrants are to be issued for their arrest shortly, and it is probable that special grand jury will then be called to investi- gate the charges.
 The local authorities believe that although none of the men arrested were Germans or Austrians, the plot of the arson trust was to deal fire and destruction to every manu- facturer making goods of any kind for the allied armies.
