authorities announced after an investi-
gatioa to-day that no search would be
made FOR Paul Durrie. former teacher

disappearance Durrie was given tenn
porary shelter in a park police station,
and later left there IN scarab OF his

Needed Gin Countless
Cases"
Hotels and Clubs Cited

The Mayors Food Supply Committee
issued a statement yesterday ITO the
Rich and Well-to-do of New York City
asking them 20 avoid waste and eat
more moderately. that a larger supply
of food may be left in the city for the
use of poorer persons. IL follows:
THE Mayors Food Supply Commit
tee desires 70 ask your cooperation 20
reduce the cost OF table living TO the
thousands Of people in this city who
are working on daily wages or salaries
or who have small fixed incomes. To
them the great increase in the cost Of
living has become very serious. They
arc not actually starving, but are, IN
many cases. unable to secure as much
food as they really need. They do not
want charity, but they do want an op-
portunity to buy a sufficient amount Of
good. wholesome food at reasonable
prices. In many cases their incomes
have remained more or Jess stationary,
while the price or 1000 mas gone up
tremendously.
IN many homes, IN hotels, IN clubs
and in restaurants in this city an enor-
nous amount Of food is not only vast
ed, but in countless cases more food IS
eaten than is necessary.
1--WE therefore make this earnest plea
to you on this Sunday morning;
1--WE ask you, who are thus fortu-
nately situated, to buy carefully, 20
eat moderately, and not to waste any
food. Il you will be mindful Of these
three things it will make a great differ
ence in the amount Of food to be had
in this city, and thus be an important
factor in reducing prices to consumers
generally"

DECISION REVERSED
 IN APPELLATE COURT

Friends of M. A. Ellis, prominent Cache creek operator, were pleased to receive the announcement recently that he had won in the appellate court in the suit brought by Attorney U. L. Reed of Valdez on some old labor liens.
 Judge Brown rendered a decision against Ellis which was reversed in the higher court. This decision was handed down Il days ago, but Attor- heys Morford and Finnegan. repre- senting Ellis, were not advised.
 The cases involved a claim for la bor against placer claims which Ellis now owns and operates. The miner did the work for the previous owner of the ground and neglected to put in his claim at the time, although FL lis warned him to do so. Later when the claims proved to be producers the miner assigned his claim to At:Or- ney Reed, who endeavored to collect.
 On losing in the lower court Ellis commented bitterly on the way the few producing operators in this dis trict were harassed and declared te would appeal although the proceeding might cost more than the amount of the >judgment.-Seward Post.
