ORPHEUM THEATER NOTES
Wheelers Coming Back.

The Wheelers, the acrobatic team
on the Hippodrome bill at the Or
pheum about two weeks ago, have
agreed to stop off in Glasgow for a
return engagement for one day. They
are on their way back to Seattle after
having finished the Hippodrome time,
which closes at Devils Lake, N. D.
it might be of interest to some to
know that The Wheelers are related
to Mr.. Barlow of the well-known Bar
low dog act, and that Mr.. Barlow
trained these young people in their
line Of work. In fact Miss Wheeler
worked on Mr.. Barlow's show when
she was smaller than Baby Barlow.
No one need be afraid of seeing the
same act they saw on the Hippo
drome bill, as the Wheelers have six
different acts they can use and will
present an entire change of program
this time, putting on two acts, a com
edy sketch and an aerial act. This
will run as an added attraction with
the regular feature program. The
date is Thursday, March 30, and the
prices will be within reach of all: 15e
and Csc; boxes 35c.
The Triangle program, having fall

Chicago Police Taking
Census to See HOw Much
Food Is In Storage
BY Associated Press

Chicago, Feb. "a. - A food census
of Chicago was started to-day by the
police department, acting under the
"forestalling ordinances" which forbids
the storing of food in warehouses for
the purpose of keeping it off the mar
ket and thus raising the price to the
consumer.
Chief of Police Hermann f. Schuet-
tier started out a special detail of Off
GERS with instructions to call at each
of the 21 large cold storage ware
houses and obtain a statement of the
amount of food of various kinds which
is in storage. With this information,
the police believe it will be possible
to determine to what extent specula-
tors are responsible for the high
prices of food materials.
The Federal authorities also con-
tinued an investigation into the food
situation.
The car shortage situation had not
improved in this city at least as far
as 1t concerned grain shipments. One
large elevator closed in South Chicago
yesterday because of lack of cars, and
1T was said four elevators belonging
to large grain house would probably
shut down during the day.

Spurred by Riots, N. Y.
Authorities Take Steps
To Relieve Sufferers
BY Associated Press

New York, Feb. "a. - Relief is in
sight for the poor of New York City
who have been suffering from the
high price of food. Spurred by riots,
boycotts and mass appeals the city
government and wealthy citizens have
taken action designed not only to ease
the preesnt situation. but provide for
the future.
The most definite measure is the
purchase of a large quantity of food
which will be brought here for dis
tribution at the lowest possible price.
George w. Perkins, chairman of the
Mayors committee on food supply, an
nounced that campaign had begun to
populariZe rice as q substitute for more
mostly foods To keep down the price
of rice the committee has bought A.
100000 pounds. The fact that plans
are laid to buy rice in immense guam
titles became known to-day through
receipt of information from Wood
land, Cal, that Mr.. Perkins had tele-
graphed the county Board of Trade
there asking terms for immediate
shipment to New York of 900, 600
pounds.
The Mayors committee has pur-
chased also a carload of smelts on
the Pacific coast which will be used to
force down prices in the local mar
kets. Funds for these purchases were
guaranteed by members of the COM
mittee, all local men.
Governor Whitman who came here
last night from Albany, said that he
would devote the day to consideration
of the food problem. The Governor
expressed the belief that the Wicks
food and market bill now before the
Legislature would, if it became law
ultimately bring some relief.
The situation, he said, demanded
an immediate remedy and he looks to
the municipal authorities for recon-
mendations.
Arrangements have been made for
a great demonstration this afternoon
in Madison Square. If the police will
permit, those in charge of the meet
ing say that after the speaking is over
they will start parade on Fifth ave-

The machine guns will probably be

Switzer illustrated his talk with Ian

the Harrisburg Municipal League orig
mated in its first campaign for public
improvements here fifteen years ago.
His contrasts by means of two slides
thrown on the screen at one time were
most interesting and effective.
Home Rule Great Factor
The most important of his asser-
tions, as they affect Harrisburg, is
that home rule is a great factor in local
government. The greatest good that
can come from a city charter framed
and adopted by the people it is de.
signed TO serve is the spirit of COM
munity cooperation it engenders," he

when caller upon, he said. This was
highly interesting to many present be-
cause 1T reflects a sentiment that has
been growing rapidly in Harrisburg.
Mr.. Switzer said the city of Dayton
has founded its system of government
upon the manner in which corpora
tonS are managed. He likened the
voters to the stockholders, the council
men to the board of directors and the
city manager to the general manager
of the company, and said it worked
out that the city under this plan re-
ceiveS the same efficient service that
the corporation requires.
Not all the people of Dayton are in
favor of the city manager plan even
now, said Mr.. Switzer. The politi-
clans, Republican, Democratic and So
cialist are opposed to it, but the peo-
pie are for it. Last year the Demo-
cratic politicians succeeded in having
the revenues cut by $169,000, under
an Ohio law that could not prevail in
Pennsylvania, and expected to ruin
by causing a deficit. Instead the city
manager simply retrenched and came
out with $4,000 in the treasury.
Dayton has not reached perfection
Mr.. Sweitzer told his audience, but he
felt that very large degree of eff
cheney had resulted from the city
manager plan and that the people will
never return to the old form. Get
