PRICE OF BREAD IS
NOT UP FOR DEBATE
Groccrs Discuss Proposition of Estab-
fishing "a Credit
Bureau.

Eat and he merry we consumers.
The price Of bread was not raised by
tire retailers at the meeting of the
south Bend Grocers' association held
at the Saelhof q Peffley store last
night.
In fact. the subject OF bread was not
even mentioned, according 10 the gro
GERS who appear 10 be satisfied with
present conditions. Ii was reported
that since the bakers had increased
the wholesale price Of this internal
tional food the grocers and retailers
would also boost the cost 10 the ulti-
mate consumer. The grocers did not
mention the matter at the meeting
and the opinion Of the members was
that no action of such nature would
be taken.
Instead of raising the price of the
staff oil ufe the grOcers raised the an
nual dues Of the organization
slightly The subject of establishing
a local credit bureau was discussed
by the grocers and there is a pOssibil-
ity that this innovation will be made
and a SECRETARY placed in the local
field Reports were heard from the
delegates TO the state convention
which was held in indianapolis L. st
week The delegates were d. r Baer,
Charles Brodbeck and Z. Shanafclt.
The next meeting of the organization
will be held on Monday, March /.

Judge Funk sustained an appeal of
reno. traitors from Madison township
Monday morning and held that the
county commissioners had no right
to order a certain gravelled road con
structed in the township without the
fOrmality Of an election
1t appeared from the evidence that
certain residents of the township had
petitiOncd the commissioners in March
Of GA 10 construct a graVelled read

ers entered an order TO have the road
built without the fOrmality Of an
election
demonstrators objected TO this pro-
cedure on the grounds that such a
road could not be constructed without
an election, according TO the statutes,
unless the road was to connect other
improved gravel roads. The commits
siOners disregarded this remOnstrapce
and an appeal we taken TO the cir
cult court.
The court held that the commission

BARRED FROM SALOONS.
Court at Sioux City Enjoinsr Man
From Entering Liquor Stores. +

Sioux City, March 9--S. G. Sloane, a
solicitor, was enjoined by District
Judge George Jepson from entering
any Sioux City saloon and buying
liouor. 1t was the first time In the his
tory OF Iowa that man had been en-
Joined by court from going into
saloon.
The temporary writ of injunction
was issued by Judge Jepson on the Pc
tition of Henry Zechmann and forty
five other saloonkeepers, all members
of the Sioux City Liquor Dealers Pro-
tective Association. Every saloon man
except one is a member Of the organ
ization.
The saloon men stated in their pray
err for an injunction that on Dec. 10,
1914, they We're notified in writing by
Mrs. Sloane not to sell her husband
liquor. AS all of their employees are
not acquainted with Sloane, they asked
that Sloane be kept out of their places
by court order.
w. A. Winston, secretary OF the
LIQUOR Dealers Association, declared
the saloon men We're DESTROYS Of COM
plying strictly with the mulct law ana
that they did not care to sell a man
liquor whose wife had served notice on
them not to. He declared the action OF
the association was experimenting the
efforts of the wife to keep her husband
away from liquor.
Action against two more men on the
saloon blacklist" and probably more
will be started in the district court this
week. Winston declared.

Blow at Petty swindlsrs.
There will be great des! Of in
terest turnout the state, especially
among bankers and hotel men, In the
exact wording of the bill that passed
the senate yesterday intended to pro-
tect all business men from the intoler-
able nuisance Of the petty swindler who
draws q big check against q small
bank account or against nothing. The
bill as passed, was an amendment
proposed by Senator Kimball, which
makes such conduct an indictable mis-
demeanor and the protest of the check
evidence. The bill is as follows:
ANY person who with intent to de-
fraud, and who receives money, credit
or thing of value therefor, shall make,
draw, deliver utter or give any check,
draft or written order upon any bank,
person or corporation, and shall not
have credit or funds with such bank,
person or corporation sufficient to meet
or pay the same, shall be guilty Of a
misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by fine
of not to exceed $500 or by imprison-
ment in the county jail not to exceed
six months, or by both such fine and
imprisonment; and the fact that pay
ment of said check draft or written
order when presented In the usual
course of business shall be refused by
the bank, person or corporation upon
which it is drawn, or that it be pro-
tested for non-payment for lack Of
such credit or funds with which to
meet the same shall be competent and
material evidence in a prosecution I'M
der this statute"
The bill is one which has the back
ing. SO it is stated, of the hotel men
of the state and is also favored by the
bankers. 1t would make it a very Sc
rious matter for any person to over
draw his account at any bank or to
fail to Immediately make good on a
check if 1t is found that he did not
| have sufficient funds to meet it.

,pecial to Times-Republican,

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 9.-The Thirty
sixth general assembly is right up
against a deadlock that threatens to
prevent any large amount of good
legislation.
The direct deadlock is over the high
way bills. The senate will not agree
to the house program of repeal of the
highway commission law; the house
will not pass any of the senate biils
for amending the law. Result-nothins
doing.
This fact, which has been clearly
foreseen for some time, has not yet
impressed itself upon many OF the
members of the legislature. Before the
week is over they may all be able 10
see it, The first step will be the adop-
ton by the house of the Johnston Dill
to abolish the highway commission
which is a special order for Thursday.
About that time the house will also
come up against some of the senate
bills and balk.
1t is currently reported that COM
bine has been formed in the house and
a written agreement entered into Sc
cretlv on the part of the reactionary
elements to the effect that they Will
not permit the passage of any OF the
senate bills on highway matters until
the senate has passed the bill to re-
peal the law as to the highway COM
mission If this is so, it means that
nothing can be done until the com
bine is broken. 1t can only be broken
by pressure Of public opinion.
Many Elements Enter.
There are many elements entering
into the situation, just as there were
two years ago when 1eree, cpd al
most brutal fight was ma de- .bh the
leaders of the senate and house be-
cause of their desire to pass the high
way bill The bridge builders are on
hand watching the situation with
great care. What they say, publicly
and what they do privately are differ
emit stories The evidence came out
the other day that the makers of road
machinery are again very active and
are bringing remarkable pressure on
the members. 1t developed that a
member of the house who was formerly
