CANNOT PENALIzEE
THOSE Who FAIL
ITO HEED ORDERS

Resultant from the many violations
CT the order Of United States Fuel
Administrator Garfield regarding the
dimming of advertising electric dis
play signs after II o'clock at night,
1t is revealed today that there is no
penalty that can be imposed upon
the merchants or corporations violat-
ing the law. Chairman Carl F. Sic
mon of the Bridgeport Fuel Board,
said today that he knew of no means
of enforcing the order: Those who
were violating the order, he said,
ARE very unpatriotic.
Many violations of the order were
noticed last night and but few mer-
chants are paying any heed whatever
to the order for fuel saving. The fuel
board has no method of learning the
violators and Siemon said no formal
complaint Of violation had been made
to him.

Experience of South CarOlinian in
Crossing Atlantic.

Camden. Sept. Lit. Com.
William Ancrum, who was called to
ioin the American feet in British
waters under Admiral Sims several
weeks ago, did not reach his des-
tination without exciting adventures.
According to a letter received by his
wife, which. was written at sea, the
armed merchant liner on which he
sailed was attacked one Sunday
morning by a u-boat, and they had
q running fight which lasted three
quarters of an hour. The German
boat shelled them from a distance OF
two miles. No shots struck the ships
though some fell close by. By put
ting on full steam and ,Zigzagging
the liner escaped. Two BRITISH de-
strovers answered their S. 0. S. call
to come to the aid Of the liner. All
passengers had on their life belts and
the life boats were made ready, but
were not needed.

PRICE OF WHEAT FIXED.
At So.2O Per BusheI by Fair Price
Committee.

Washington, Aug. 30.-A price OF
S2.2O a bushel was fixed for the l9l I
crop OF wheat by President Wilson to-
night on the recommendation Of the
wheat price committee. headed by Dr
H. A. Garfield. The price will be fol
number one northern spring wheat
delivered at Chicago.
The committee finally agreed today
after several days Of voting. At one
time today it looked as if 1t would be
unable to come to q conclusion, but
lust before 6 o'clock compromise
was reached and the last vote was
unanimous.
Representatives Of the producer
began by voting for price of $50
and labors representative for S1.S4.
The two extremes eventually narrow,
ed down until the votes were only a
few cents a part and most Of today S
voting showed only a slight differ
ence.
On the basis OF $220 at Chicago
the food administration worked out
tonight differentials for the various
grades and classes and for the several
terminals.
The 50 price set by Congress for
1918 wheat was taken into consid-
Grafton by the committee in consid-
ering a value Of this years crop.
To Keep Prices Down.
In announcing price, President Will
son stated it is hoped that the fixing
of a price will stabilize the market
and keep prices within moderate
bounds.
The price of -four and bread, too,
the President declared, will be kept
down
The committee in its report to the
President, gave as the three chief con-
siderations of it's deliberations the
fact that the United States is at war,
the need of encouraging the pro-
ducer, and the necessity of reducing
the cost of living to the consumer.
All the members agreed in their
discussions that the price fixed will
permit of a fourteen-ounce loaf OF
bread for cents. allowing fair
profit both to the -four manufacturer
and the baker.

Not To Reduce Price of Bread Soon

Washington, Aug. 31.-Prospects
of an early and radical reduction in
bread prices apparently vanished to-
night when Herbert Hoover, the food
administrator, announced that the
best the public may expect is a
sixteen-ounce loaf for ten cents Or
possibly eight cents.
The eight cent loaf of sixteen
ounces is possible, Mr.. Hoover said.
only if bakers, retailers and con-
sumers unite to eliminate wasteful
distribution methods and cooperate
to obtain a standardized loaf.
The price Of family -four, Mr..
Hoover said, should be reduced at
the present price of wheat at least
two or three dollars a-barrel. Bakers
-four, however, will sell little cheaper
than at present.
Standard Loaf Difficult.
Gil. Corby, who is serving for the
bakers of the country as voluntary
aide to Mr.. Hoover, said tonight that
a sixteen ounce loaf for ten cents
would represent slight reduction in
present prices. Standardization, he
said, would be hard to bring about,
since varying costs in ingredients that
go into bread have made it necessary
to increase or reduce the size of the
loaf.
No move will be made toward price
reduction, lIr. Corby said, until the
food administration has announced
its plans for dealing with the baking
industry.
''The bakers have been and are
holding themselves in readiness" said
a statement by Mr.. Corby, Ito effect
the conservation of wheat"
Wait on President.
''The bakers respectfully request
the public to disregard the many
ridiculous statements about bread
emanating from unreliable sources
and ask that they await the announce
ment of the President relative to the
nations plans for bread production.
Members of the wheat price com
mittee which recommended the price
of s2.20, fixed by President Wilson
for wheat, declared after they were
convinced it was possible to make anc
sell a fourteen-ounce loaf of bread
for FIVE cents.
The country's millers have agreed
to hold their profits on -four tt
twenty five cents barrel. Under
this agreement Mr.. Hoover said fioul
should retail in New York at from
S11.75 to S1273 barrel. The price
of bakers patent -four to small
bakers and retailers. he said, shoult
be from $I0.35 to S11.23.

CONSTITUTION OF
 MEXICO IS UNFAIR
Secretary Lansing Points Out Un'
 just Clauses to Carranza

Mexico City, Jan. 26-Secretary of State Lansing has sent to General Carranza through Charles B. Parker, American charge d'affaires here, a communication in regard to certain provisions which it has been proposed to include in the new Mexican con- stitution.
 The communication calls attention to the article vesting the executive with power to appropriate property without judicial recourse, and also to the article providing that civil and commercial companies cannot own properties of a greater area than is necessary to accomplish the purpose for which they are formed, and placing the power to determine. what area is necessary in the hands of the executive. The cOmmunicati ton says that if the latter provision were made retroactive it might be confiscatory, as no provision is made for cOmpensa- ton.
 Attention is called to the article providing that there be no exemption from taxation. If this were given a retroactive effect, says Secretary Lan- sings communication, it would impair contracts of many foreign corporations now operating under agreements pro- Nldlng periods of exemption by the Federal or state governments.
New Britain herald., 1917-01-26

printed on the tape this sale auto matically fixed the price of the odd lot orders at an eighth higher. and the customer acquired 320 shares on the transaction.
 Brokers said the manipulation charged against Burke was not an ex- treme case. and he did not profit by 1t personally; but the governors held that he should have prevented a cus- toner from abusing the privileges of the exchange. Burke's failure to of- fer the full lot of stock at the best price was held to be inexcusable. It is a cardinal rule of trading that a broker must endeavor to obtain the highest price possible for stock he is commissioned to sell and the lowest quotations for stock he is to buy. In arbitrarily demanding less than other brokers were willing to bid he in vited the suspicion of the odd lot dealers. The case attracted unusual attention yesterday in view of the fact that the offense alleged occurred during the period now under investi- gation by the leak" committed.
