IN NEW YORK.

New York, n. Y, April 19-New
York's Negro problem is becoming
difficult, according to
speakers at the first luncheon held
by the Business Mems meetings. Will
liam ]. Doherty, Deputy Commission
err Of charities said that 100000
southern Ne1Noes had comb north
since war time prosperity came into
evidence. They were lured by high
wages and plenty of work, but when
they got her they found they were
not acclimated, educated or expert
enced enough to care for themselves
Their emigration from the South gave
the southerners a problem, but even
tually, he said, southern employers
will have to meet the high wages Of
fered in the North. George Fostel
Peabody said that when the Soutl
realized that the Negro laborer!
were flocking north productive con
ditions there would improve and tn,
Negroes would stay there.

Potatoes Are Included.

The Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defence has re- ceived the following announcement from the offices of the Food Admins trator in Washington: The Food Ad- n1inistration and Federal Reserve Board have under conferences between Governor Harding and Louis D. Sweet, of the Food Administration, agreed up- on a plan for classifying potatoes among the -perishab1e staples, un- der the regulations for rediscounts un- der Section 13 of the Federal Reserve Act, in order that loans upon ware house receipts for potatoes may now be rediscounted at the Federal Re serve banks and to become negotia ble paper throughout the country at the Federal Reserve rate, which is now in most states 3 1-2 per cent.
 The object being sought by the Food Administration Is to stimulate the proper storage of potatoes by growers and others, and to thus enable the carrying over of the large autumn po- tato crop. also by enabling the growers and local dealers to finance their po- tatoes; they will be free in a large mea sure from dependence upon spec uIators and profteers in control of the potato market.
 In accepting the proposal of the Food Administration that the Federal Reserbe Board classify potatoes as a non- -perisha ble staple, a unique step has been taken in the financing of the American vegetable products. and one that brings American banking practice which have been so material to the preservation of potatoes throughout the year and the stabilization of their prices.

VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN TO
 CHECK RABIEs EPIDEMIC
Latest Outbreak of Dreaded Disease
 Occurred in .Pomfret.

Because of tho seriousness of the rabies epidemic in the state, Com missioner of Domestic Animals Whit tlesey, is starting a vigirous campaign to check the disease. The latest out break is in Eastwood and Pomfret which Commissioner Whittlesey went out to investigate last night.
 A dog ran wild through Pomfret
 nd Eastwood, a short time ago and was later captured and killed. The head was sent to the state laboratory in Middletown, and a positive case of rabies was reported. Another dog in Eastwood, which was bitten by this dog was killed by the East wood authorities.
 Commissioner whittfesey has pre- pared an unofficial chart which shows the reported progress of rabies in Connecticut. since January 1. This chart shows that three persons are reported to have died from rabies in the state and that 100 persons have been bitten. The disease seems to have been confined to the western and southern parts of the state, the largest number of cases being reported from New Haven
 There have been twenty four in that city, and two mad dogs: Nauga- thirteen cases Danbury. with two mad dogs, has hsd thirteen and Bridgeport, with one mad dog has had eight Other cities and towns nave smaller numbers or cases.
 we intend to take stringent measures to suppress the rabies" said Commissioner Whittlesey, "and we are making plans to inaugurate an active campaign. However, I do not intend to iuuse orders for the nuZzling or ouarantine of dogs, unless they are rigidly enforced
 Figures prepared by the state treasure show tfeat there has been an estimated total damage from hiaS l.. of 1.o64.45. of which s3,47S.53 has been spent for the Pasteur treatment
 "T assume" said Commissioner Whittlesey, in discussing the cost of rabies to the state, that it won't cost as much to prevent the spread of rabi>S, as it does to give the Pas teur treatment to those persons who are bitten bv mad dogs"
