be legally proceeded with at once, and
that said resolution was offered by the
Superintendent of Public Affairs as one
more of his numerous efforts for politi-
cal buncombe only.
The Views Of the Mayor
During the debate on the Royal
resolution yesterday the Mayor said
the question raised by his measure is
one of humanity and dollars and
cents" ana besides saying that it is a
difficult problem to deal with and prob
ably would mean added expense to the
city, he stated:
"Under the circumstances it seems
to me it should be done to give work
to the unemployed who do not care to
depend upon charity"
The, Republican Commissioners, both
at yesterdays meeting and before to-
days special session, declared them
selves in favor of any feasible plan to
put the city unemployed at work J but
they asserted they are at their wits
end to know just what to do to carry
out the purpose without putting the
city to a great amount of expense.
The prevailing freezing tempera-
lures, they argued, make it inadvisable
to order paving contractors to start,
work since experts advised them, they
say, that paving work done now would
be very unsatisfactory and would cost
much more than if it was done in the
hot weather season.
The same is true with the building
of sewers, they said, because the con
tractors would be put to an extra ex-
pense in order to protect his men from
the dangers of the ground caving in.

CAPITOL HILL
ON HUNT FOR VIOLAIORS
OF THE Pure FOOD Laws
PENNSYLVANIA Division Instructed to Be
More vigilant in Running Down
Imposters in the Supplying of Eggs
and Meats

Agents of the Pure Food Division
have been instructed to be more vigil
ant than ever in the hunt for violators
of the pure food laws, especially in the
matter of eggs and meats and Commis-
sioners Foust is receiving reports every
day of offenders who are active all over
the State The cold storage eggs that
have been in hiding since last April,
are now being taken out to be sold
during the cold weather when the hens
have stopped laying, and the tendency
among dealers is to dispose of them as
.sstrictly fresh,'' after removing the
label ON the crate showing how long
they had been in cold storage.
This morning prosecutions were or
dered in forty eight eases of violation
of the food laws, half of which were
against men who are selling cold stor-
age eggs not properly labeled, and there
were also violations of the meat laws,
some of the dealers selling diseased
meats of all kinds. Many arrests are
being made in the larger cities, and II
is said that the foreign-born dealers in
foods in Philadelphia, are among the
worst offenders.

NEW SUGAR MARKET PLANNED
Move for Trading In Refined on
Coffee Exchange.

There has been considerable agitation
within the last few days among brokers
on the Coffee Exchange TO promote the
establishment OF a system for trading
in refined sugars I'm that market Men
close to the sugar trade say that the
matter has not hecn taken vi formally
and that great deal depends on the
refiners themselves whether this scheme
will be adopted or not
Several months ago the Coffee ISV-
change permitted members 20 deal IN

Nct has been established. Many stock
Exchange houses have become Interested
In the matter and are executing orders
an raw sugars In some cases members
OF Stock Exchange houses have become
Iuembers OF the Coffee Exchange,
IL Is believed that a market for raWs
and Tor refined sugars on the Coffee FIX
change would be a growing one in view
Of the increasing demand which is bound
TO come from England and France for
sugars since the supply from Austria and
Germany has been cut on The greater
part of Frances beet sugar crop has been
destroyed and both England ana France
will thus be- driven to seek their sugars
in our markets. This will naturally lead
- n greater speculation In both raw and
refined sugars than under normal con-
ditions.

CURTISS DENIES CLAIM
OF A RIVAL INVENTOR
Issues Statement in Regard TO
Dispute Over Flying Boat
Device.

Glenn H. Curtiss. builder OF flying boats
and hydro-aerOplancs. sent out a statement
yesterday denying the contention Of Al
bert 5. Janin. Staten Island cabinet
maker. that Curtiss will have to pay
royalties to Mr. Jann on every air-water
machine he turns out in the future
The dispute between Curtiss and Janin
has been very generally taken to refer
to basic patents on the flying boat. The
patents really involved are on device
balancing the flying machine in the water
and helping 1t to ris from the surface
NJ the water under high spead The
device consists Of two floats. one under
the outer end OF each lower wing. and
the patent particularly relates to a very
small wooden plane attached to the bot.
tom Of each 81 thess floats. In his state
ment Mr. Curtiss says:
Mr.. Janin and his attorney are quite
premature In announcing the award Of in
vention OF the hydro-aeroplanc to Mr.
Jan!n. The Janin claim does not involve
the features which made the hydro-acro-
plane IA successful flying machine, or the
features OF the flying boat
The decision In question is but a pre-
liminary one Of one Of the three Patent
Office tribunals. II is no. In the United
States courts. This is the second de-
cision, to he made by the Patent Office.
The first was I'm my favor Another de-
cisiou rs 10 he made nv the Commissioner
OF Patents himself before the Patent Of
fee concludes the matter. and thu final de-
cision Is IN the province OF the United
States Court OF Appeals.
When this final decision is given and
not until then Will any statements Of Mr.
Janin's concerning the award OF the
vention be entitled to serious considcra-
ton"
