plicity in dynamite plots charged to
Albert C. Kaltschmidt and others was
rlaced on the stand by the govern

schmidt and his co-defendahts. To-
days witness was William Letter,

Letter corroborated in detail the tes-
timony yesterday Of Charles Respa,
also sentenced to the Canadian prison

sion. Respa had testified that KALI
schmidt was the directing head Of a
undertaking conspiracy to destroy

struction by dynamite Of British mu-
nitions ships in New York Hsrbor
Letter described the plans made TO
dynamite the Peabody factory and the
planting of a suitcase filled with ex-

concerning it the latter replied:
"Oh, well, we'll get II the next time
and then blow the whole d place
up"
The government has given motto,
that il will introduce documentary

Bread Prices Cut
One Cent a Loaf
By Wholesalers

Announcement was made in the
wholesale bakery trade yesterday that,
in anticipation OF the Federal licensing
Of all the larger bakeries December
10 in accordance with a recent procls-
nation by President Wilson. bakers in
this city have az rule already com
piled with the licensing provisions and
cut wholesale prices Of bread approx
mately one cent.
Licensed bakers and this will in
clude all except small neighborhood
breadmakers who use less than ten
barrels of -four a month-to a great
extent will eliminate animal fats In
breadmaking, using vegetable fats in
stead. and will limit the sugar content
to three pounds 20 the barrel Of flour.
Weights Of loaves will be one pound,
one end half. two and four pounds.
In the larger bakeries, under the new
rules. the wholesale price OF the one
pound loaf OF rye bread is down to
seven cents, as against eight cents n
week ago; corresponding cut Of cent
a loaf has been made in the wrapped
oue-pound white loaf. which is now
selling at re cents. Beginning Mon,
day next. the one and one-half pound
loaf Of white bread will sell wholesale
81 1919 cents. q reduction OF | cent.
May Cut Retail Price
Answers to inquiries sent out by The
Tribune reveal great variation in the
rice Of bread in important cities and
that the residents Of New York City
are paying far more than consumers
in other populous centres. To the
consumer here the average cost Of n
sixteen-ounce loaf of white bread ia
ten cents. while one of the larger
bakeries makes price TO the retail
or that compels charge of ten cents
for only fourteen ounces.
While many small dealers are sell
ing loayes for nine cents. many others
are demanding eleven cents, and this,
taken the city over, according 10 ex-
pcrts, brings the average to ten cents.
The price here is in sharp contrast
to that in Philadelphia. only ninety
miles away. As the result Of a meet
ing of the bakers there yesterday. il
was agreed TO fix p charge of seven
cents loaf. and it was announced
that this was the average price which
has been in existence for some time.
y. 4. Jacobs, the food administrators
Of that city, discussed the possibility
of charge of six cents, but It was
finally decided that bread could not be
retailed at that price with a profit.

Alien Board Would
Finger-Print All
Ii Asks Federal Authorities to
Make Both Citizens and
Foreigners Register

Archibald t. Stevenson, chairman Of
the committee on aliens OF the May
or's Committee on National Defence,
yesterday announced that steps had
been taken 20 induce the Federal au-
thorities 10 require every man and
woman. citizen and alien. in the United
States 10 register and 90 receive an
Identification card, including his sig
nature, photograph and iingcr-prints.
According TO Mr.. Stevenson, il will
be impossible thoroughly TO enforce
the alien enemy regulations without
the proposed change, because officers
charged with enforcing the law have
no unfailing means OF asccrtaining
whether or not the particular person
before them Is an enemy alien.
"I am communicating with Attorney
General Gregory" Mr.. Stevenson said.
"This plan Of universal registration
must become national in scope TO be-
come successful. Mayor Mitchell wrote
Attorney General Gregory last summer
and received n reply which virtually
approved its immediate adoption. A
few days ago l received from the head
OF the Finger-Print Bureau Of the City
OF New York the offer Of their plant
for the work. and with 10 assuranNe Of
the strong approval of Chief Magis-
trate McAdoo.
"The passage OF a law requiring all
men and women 10 carry identification

the publ, TO put secret enemies where
they ought to be.
THE Committee on Aliens will have
its work greatly increased by a deelara-
tion Of war on Austris-Hungary. We

all loaves be marked in the planes
manner. Under the new regulations
the master bakers are supplying the
trade with wrapped loaves at seven
and half cents each ard unwrapped
ones at seven. These retail through
out the city at ten and nine cents, re-
spectiyely. at present, but the food
administrator is insisting upon full
pound loaf that will sell over the
counter for eight cents. This. it Is
said, will probably be complied with
in very short time.
The Food Administration has not
fixed prices, but in view Of the cheaper
materials used by bakers 1t ia hoped
that retail prices will decline soon.

Obstacles Cause Chairman
Hurley to Reverse An
nounced Policy
Question of Wages
Naval Re.ervi.ts o" Merchant
Vessel, Would Be Unduly
Favored
I Correspondence

.,,INGTON. Dec. chairman
- n the Shipping Board is about
,evorse his announced policy OF
~ merchant ship crews under the
antrol and discipline Of the Navy De-
.ortment. This decision has been
reached following the development OF
obstacles to the execution of the navy
control programme during conferences
between officials Of the two depart
mcnts during the last two weeks.
Under the plan announced by Chair
man Hurley about two weeks ago, all
merchant ship crews and students at
navigation schools, before entering the
Transatlantic service, must enlist in
the Naval Reserve. This regulation
was to apply also to ship masters en-
gagged by the Shipping Board TO com
mand vessels in the European war
traffic.
This plan first FLASHED with an
agreement negotiated some time ago
with The Seamcn's Union whereby the
Shipping Board contracted to pay the
union wage scale for the period of ono
year. Chairman Hurley Of the Ship
ping Board, at the urging Of navy Of
ticials. undertook 70 solve this diff
Guilty b. arranging for the payment OF
the difference between navy pay and
the union scale b. the Shipping Board
or the owners OF the vessels chartered
10 the government.
Dissatisfaction Feared
This solution, however. presented
the following situation: A consider
able body Of naval reservists would
then be collecting government wages
considerably in excess of the ordinary
navy pay. This would lead to dis
satisfaction i'm the service. IL was pre-
dicted. and 10 an eventual impairment
of the morale Of the Naval Reserve.
Secretary Roosevelt is credited with
pointing out the unwisdom Of this
phase Of the plan.
Other obstacles OF lesser Importance
have been quite as bothersome, it f.,
said. a. the question Of arranging the
wage schedule.
Meanwhile the Shipping Board has
given Henry Howard, of Boston, di-
rector Of the Shipping Boards recruit
ing service, full authority to proceed
with the development of plans for
raising the merchant marine personnel
20 the point where IT. could man the
new ships as fast as they went into
service. Mr.. Howard has organized
navigation schools in various cities
throughout the country which have al
ready turned out more than 1000 grad
lateS
Director Howard has been strongly
opposed to placing the merchant crews
der the jurisdiction Of the navy.
The condition which finally led Chair
Hurley to agree to placing mer-
chant crews under the direction Of the
navy was the inability of merchant
commanders 20 exercise adequate dis
ciplinary control over their crews
This lack Of discipline. it is said. has
frequently so reduced the efficiency OF
hip operation in the submarine zone
that 10 has only been through good
fortune that American cargo carriers
20 escaped U-boat attacks.
The remedy for this, according &c
the proponents of the plan for the re
tention of control over crews By The
Shipping Board. Is an amendment tc
the La Toilette seamcn's act giving
merchant captains larger authority
over the members Of their crews.
