POPULAR BARBER
 SHOP AT DEVENS
Clean ShaVen Youths Co2gre8ate
 at TOnSOrial ParlOrS

Aver, Mass, Nov. 30.-A prize col
 lection of quarts, pints and half pints
 confiscated from soldiers over the weekend disclosed today a brand new scheme employed by bootleggers to supply liquor to soldiers The idea is an old trick dressed over. It con- sists of going into a Lowell barber shop, calling for "close shave" and continuing to rear room, where , three large gray suits with civilian
 hats hang on the wall. A trooper would slip the "cit" clothes over tho ', olive drab, walk next door to a pack
 age store. return with the whiskey secreted in his uniform and go his way.
 Military police searching recruits
 last night and early this morning
 were astounded at the unusual amount of liquor in the hands of sol
 diers. The number of bottles was greater than at any time since the provost guard started cooperating
 with state authorities outside the cantonment. The great quantity of
 booze indicated that peddlers were operating widely, so a still hunt start ed last night.
 State police officers in their rounds noted the heavy volume of soldier trade in the barber shop. They fur ther were surprised to see number of freshly-barbered rockies parading in ostensibly for hair cut or shave, Closer inspection gained, when one of the officers luckily prepared ahead of time with a copious growth of beard, went into the establishment apparently to test the skill of the ra- zor wielders.
 While in the NhotY~ is not clear which, the detective was interested to see a squad of rockies edge in the door slide over to a white coated tonsorial artist and ask in a low voice for "close shave" The detective began detecting immediate ly when three of the selectives pushed through to back room, remained for a time, and reappeared wearing baggy gray suits and caps. Each went out and returned with bulges sticking out from various parts of his body.
 The officers soon acquired more in- formation. They found the barber was renting the suits for 50 cents to all corners. The renter would de- posit $1.50. On returning the suit there was forthcoming $1. There was a steady stream of gray-suited men filing out of the shop into the pack age store and back to the barbering parlors all the evening, so witnesses allege.
 A great number of the soldiers con- sumed their whiskey before reaching camp, thereby making sure their al- coholic supply would not be confs- cated. Others attempted to get by the vigilant soldier cops but few were successful, judging from the pile of bottles scooped up.

ISLANDS ISOLATED.

Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, Nov 1.-The war has completely isolated the Falkland Islands from the rest of the world as far as commercial inter course is concerned, in spite of the fact that the islands are the naval base of the British fleet for the South Atlantic and South Pacific.
 Since March 10 of this year not a single ship has stopped at the Talk lands on its journey to England and correspondence for Buenos Aires and Montevideo has been sent by way of Punta Arenas, while passengers for Buenos Aires or Montevideo have had to go around to Valparaiso on the Pa cifc liners and then cross the Andes by train to get to their destination.
 The British Government has bought up all the wool of the Falklands, giv- ing the owners 55 per cent. above pre- war prices. Some of this wool sold as high as two shillings, sixponce a pound. Flour has risen to fifty shill- ings a sack and bread is selling at shilling a loaf, weighing less than four pounds Sugar is selling at eight pence pound.
 The Islands have become so over run with rats that the government has offered an English penny head for all those killed.

HIGH PRICES SINCE
 WAR COMMENCED
Italy Passes Position of Cheapest
 to the Dearest

Rome, Nov .-(Correspondence of Tho Associated Press) Italy this winter has passed from the position of one of the cheapest to one of the dearest war countries as regards cost of living. Speculation in food and clothing and heating material is gen. erally held responsible for the very high prices, in many respects fifty per cent. higher than in France. Woolen goods that last summer were sold at $2.50 to $4.0O yard are now being reinvoiced and sold in the same stores at $5 to $10 a yard. Women's clothes have been doubled or trebled in price, according to the whim of the .storekeeper.
 If you don't buy now, you either won't get the chance at all later in the winter or else you will have to pay more money" purchasers are in- formed
 Second hand furniture of the most ordinary quality, particularly beds, mattresses, carpets, chairs and tables. sells for the price of new furniture. Single woolen mattresses that last spring sold for $1O each this winter sell for $20. The price of a cotton bed sheet is s9.
 The cost of housekeeping has doubled since last winter. Eggs that formerly sold at cents each, now sell for seven to nine cents. Fresh vegetables are sold almost at meat prices Butter is 75 cents a pound Sugar remains at 34 cents a pound, while coffee has gone to 80 cents q pound. Ham and bacon have disap- peared entirely from the market as being too dear for anybody to buy. Oatmeal sells at 30 cents a pound.
 Despite the fact that all of Italy Is being denuded of forest timber to turn into f1rewood, and that wood has been one of the principal freight products on the railways all the past summer, coal sells at $7o a ton. Wood sells at 10 cents pound. Electric light globes worth 15 cents sell at 70 cents.
 Hotel prices have reached $5 to ss day in the better hotels of the larger cities, prices that would have seemed fabulous in Italy before the war.
 "It's war time," is the inevitable and final answer to all objections re- garding high prices.

REPORT Of SPECIAL. COMMITTEE
VIRTUALLY INDICATES HENDR|CK

The special committee. appointed
to investigate university conditions,
made its report both 10 the senate
and assembly yesterday morning, says
the Gazette. The report Is lengthy,
covering nearly twelve pages of type
written legal cap, and goes eNhaus-
lively into the subjects which the leg
islative resolutions directed it to in
vestigato.
To begin with the report state
the committee sat eight whole days
and several evenings in its investi.
cations. and listened TO every witness
who had anything 10 offer TO cdify
the committee. There was great in
terest shown all through the pro-
ceedings and the number Of specta-
tors present indicated there was con.
Germ everywhere regarding the con
duct OF the university. y complete
report of the financial condition of
the institution was received from the
special auditor, +. NJ. Lee. employed
to audit the books, and indicated that
there was m,X-up in finances and
methods, and system had been lax.
hut there had been no misapproprla.
ton of funds, though some eXtrava-
Gance. The methods followed were
severely censured.

other financial in the government Of
the university has proved a failure.

adhered TO no longer. The fact that
there was lack OF cohesion and fail

deplored. The president at all times

and should have absolute control

and under the circumstances the
president had done as well as he
could.
Referring to the action OF the new
board OF regents in dismissing Pres!.
dent Hendrick. the committee found
that that came from prediction
promises, and the regents, or some
OF them, stated that they were elected
for that purpose. The committee CEN
sured them because they failed in Civ
ing President Hendrick an opportun-
lily to defend himself The charge
THAI Hendrick was guilty of political
activity was not sustained in any man
ncr. That Hendrick made enemies
was admitted. bat that was because of
HIS aggressiyeneSs and sincerity in
working for the good of the university.
The committee in conclusion stated
they regretted the university should
be deprived OF the counesl and direc-
ton of President Hendrick.
The report virtually clears Presi.
dent Ncndrick of all the charges that
were Tade against him and states
that they were made mainly on rum
ors and that in most instances they
were without foundation.
In connection with the above il is
authoritatively stated that the commit
tee had under consideration a recon-
mendation that Professor Hendrick be
retained as president of the university.
Four out of six of the committee were
in favor of this put in view of the fact
that the findings were so strong in
favor of President Hendrick and no.
wishing a minority report, the mem-
bers decided to not make such rec
Ommendation.
