MARKET AWARD
BY ALDERMEN IS
TO Be REVIEWED
Writ Holding Up Payment to
Essex Construction Company
Is Granted.

Chief Justice Gummere today grant
ed the application of John L. Arni-
tage for a judicial review OF the ac-
ton of finance committee of the
Common Council on December 30. in
granting to the Essex Construction
Company s25,s64.15 for work done in
connection with the construction Of
the new market.
Frank r. Bradner. former city at
torney, appeared today for the con-
struction company, and Franklin W.
Fort for Mr.. Armitage.
City Counsel Spaulding Frazer, City
Attorney Harry Kalisch. former City
Counsel James r. Nugent and for
mer City Attorney Herbert Boggs
were present, but took no part in the
argument. Mr.. Boggs and Mr. Nugent
assisted Mr.. Bradner by suggestions
during his argument
Debatable Points.
In granting the writ the chief JUS
tice said there we're several debatable
points that should be brought before
the whole Supreme Court. He then
proceeded to point out the questions
both sides argument.
Mr.. Gummere asserted there was
grave doubt as to the right Of the city
to pay the bill presented by the Essex
Construction Company, because there
was no investigation to find out
whether the charges in It were rea-
sonable or whether the work claimed
had really been done or the material
furnished
The finance committee of the'Com-
mon Council, he declared, apparently
passed the resolution to pay the
money on the theory that the bill was
for work on the contract that had
been awarded. AS the contract has
been declared invalid the council had
no right to pay any money on 1t, in
the chief Justices opinion If, on the
other hand, the council paid the
money on the ground that il was for
work done, ignoring the contract i
erred in not investigating the cor
rectness OF the bin, the court as
serted.
Among his reasons for granting the
writ, he said, was his belief that II
the taxpayer could not set aside the
resolution under certiorari proceed
ings, ne could take no action at all
Suit to recover the money, he pointed
out, could not be started by anybody
but the city, and he had grave doubts
whether the city could repudiate 8
resolution passed by itself.
Mr. Fort went over the testimony
and pointed out that the Essex Con-
struction Company had charged its
profits against the city besides the

Wheat Prices
Drop Suddenly

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-wheat dropped
today as IL struck with a hammer.
Opening prices were in some cases
nearly &c a bushel lower than last
night. May sold down to S139. as
compared with $1.40B at yesterdays
close.
Fear of the effects OF talk or an
embargo on the export of bread
stuffs, as well as on arms and am
munition had much to do with the
sudden decline.
Subsequently, export sales led to a
sharp upturn from the low point
Domestic matters were said to have
bought freely. In the last fifteen
minutes, nevertheless, the market
again had a bad break, the result of a
fresh selling stampede. The CLOSE
was semi-demoralized, 21a to "a un-
der last night.
Despite the fact that buying on the
part of exporters and domestic millers
afterward rallied prices completely,
the market seemed to go to pieces in
the final quarter hour of the session.
Quotations fell a full cent a bushel
below the low point at the start, May
selling as low as s1.3S. Conditions at
the close were much disordered at q
decline of 21a to 2a4c net
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Congres-
sional leaders declared today that
there is no immediate prospect of
action by Congress in regard to the
sharp price advance of wheat.
Chairmen of the Senate and House
interstate commerce committees in
sist an embargo against expectation
is impossible. When the war broke
out practically all leaders in both
houses had the question of a general
food embargo before them. 1t was
an almost unanimous opinion that
an embargo on food exports is i'm
possible because it is deemed uncon-
stitutional.

PRICES OF FLOUR
ARE THE HIGHEST
IN FORTY YEARS
If Increase Continues Present
Five-Cent Bread Will Cost
More.

Wholesale and retail prices of -four
have increased to such an extent that
II is expected there will be a wide
spread announcement soon of an in
crease in price of the present five-cent
loaf of bread. Unless there is a drop
in wheat and flour quotations within
a few days, many bakers say the five
cent loaf will be sold for six and eight
cents.
Not in forty years has -four been as
high as It is today, according to one
of the leading baking concerns here
In July, before the European war
Started, bakers were able to buy all
the flour they wanted at $3.50 and So
a barrel Today they are compelled
to pay 81 and $3.50 barrel.
'The average retail baker is unable
to make a profit by selling bread at
five cents a loaf, when he has to pay
over Sc barrel for -four" said an Off
cial of large baking company. you
can readily imagine that bakers are
really in state of CONSERVATION with
-four at 81 and $3.50 a barrel.
Flour has jumped $3.50 a barrel
since the war started. 1t was esti-
mated that we had a surplus of S00,-
900 bushels of wheat in this coun-
try after the bumper crops of last
year. Now, when you figure that we
have been shipping a million to two
million bushels day to the warning
countries in Europe, this surplus is
fast dwindling.
Our government is in a position TO
know just how much wheat and flour
is being shipped abroad If this large
export is allowed to continue for long,
by next May we will find ourselves
facing a shortage, instead of having a
surplus. In that event, flour will go
as high as $40 barrel, and a loaf Of
bread now sold for five cents will cost
ten cents"
Rumor Causes a Drop.
A rumor that the United States gov
ernment was about to place an en-
barge on the shipment of wheat is
said to have caused a drop of few
points in the wheat quotations at the
New York Stock Exchange. 1t was
declared that such an embargo would
be welcomed at this time, as 1t would
force down the present high prices Of
flour. Unless such remedy is applied
soon, the dealers say, the public viii
be compelled to pay for bread at
prices from so to 100 per cent. higher
than the present prices.
In fact, it was said that many bak-
ers have already decreased the size OF
the f1ve-cent loaf of bread. The
smaller loaf of bread is not the result
of general movement, but the efforts
of Individual bakers to meet the stress
of present flour prices. One of the
large wholesale bread companies Is
also reported to have decreased the
sizes of it's loaves.
Large concerns, which are able to
buy flour in lots of 1000 barrels, are
compelled to pay s675 and 81 barrel.
In July flour in such amounts was
sold for $3.50 and So barrel In the
past two weeks the wholesale price

CHILDREN HATE
 PILLS, CALOMEL
 AND CASTOR OIL
If cross, feverish, constipated, give "Californin' Syrup
 of Figs"

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose mother insisted on--castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. t@s-s
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physics simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is we'll founded. Their tender little ''insides" are injured by them.
 If your child's stomac oh, liver and bowels need cleasing, give only deli cious' California Syrup of Figs It's action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative handy; they know children love to take it; that IL never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that teaspoon full given today saves q sick child to- morrow.
 Ask your druggist for 50-cent bot tie of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies. children of all ages and for grown ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of commercials sold here. See that it is made by california Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt.

Hampton Roads to enforce American neutrality, interest renewed here to- day in any move that commander Thierichens of the vessel might make. He must soon either leave American waters in the face of warshipS of allied nations which arc waiting off the Virginia Capes to capture here or intern his ship until the end of the European war. The Prinz Eitel was reported still at her dock at Nek- port News early today with smoke pouring from both her tunnels.
 Possibility that the Prinz Eitel would soon make a ash for the open sea; it is beliycd, caused the dispatch of the Nlamba to Hampton Roads on neutrality duty, although officials here have thought that Commander Thierichens would ask for government permission to intern his vessel one report said that the Prinz Eitel

German cruiser Dresden was carried out in conformity with the usages of war. The expression doubtful is aFrare avowal for a British organ. The facts are that the Dresden was lying at anchor 500 yards off the coast in Cumberland Bay, Juan Fer nandez Island, when she was attacked on the morning of March IA by gun fire from the British cruisers Kent and Glasgow and the auxiliary crui- ser Drama The Dresden was in a neutral port with her engines dis abled and without coal; apparently with little ammunition and practi- cally unable to defend herself.
 German Commander Protests.
 After the Dresden, by the first volley of the infinitely superior ene- my was hit astern the German com mander protested against the violation of Chilean neutrality, whereupon the commander of the British squadron declared he had orders to destroy the Dresden wherever he found her and that he did not care for other ques- tions which diplomacy could settle af- terWards. Consequently, after a last effort of hopeless resistance no al- formative was left for the Dresden, but self destruction.
 The attitude of the commander of the British squadron was typical of British contempt for the rights of neutral states so long as the chief ob- ject was attained--to destroy all men of war flying the flag of Great Brit aims enemy. Tf after this, a neutral government protests on paper, British

diplomacy possibly cOndescends to express regret; but this is only an un- important detail whereas England s naval officer may be sure that his brutal contempt for neutrality finds the full approval of the British gov ernment. his orders being to destroy a German cruiser wherever he may find her. This instruction was in cluded in an order not to consider the sovereign rights of neutral states.
 Chilean Neutrality Violated
 How brutally Chilean neutrality was violated is proved by the fact that nearly hit a Chilean ship and that splintcrs fell on Chilean territory, which practically amounts to the bombardment of neutral Chilean port by British cruisers because a German cruiser was inside. a
 'This is practically evidence of to what extent Great Britain is standing up for the weak. especially neutral nations as advertised by the British cabinet members. Chile is una ble to defend herself. More interesting, however, is what attitude the United States government will adopt in> the face of such a violation of the neu- trality of South American republic, also what the neutral states of Eu- rope will have to say to the profes- sion of faith exhibited by British guns off Juan Fernandez that no the British navy in war times

FARMERS INSTITUTES POPULAR

In number held and in attendance,
farmers institutes are steadily in
ereasing in popularity, according to

This is an increase in attendance of
26 per cent over that of any previous
