there a a concerted effort put
forth on the part OF certain persons,
particularly professional gardeners,
TO embarrass the promoters OF the

has been stated. prefer to peddle their
wares from house to house because by
sso doins they can realize hisher prices

market and going up against more or
less competition. II this is the view
they have taken Of the matter. II Is
far from conimendable. 60 say the
least. The nation has recently take,
cognizance OF high food prices and
attempts on the part OF certain cliq,ies
To control the supply In order 10

ers are opposing the city market idea

find themselves withou; a market
for their wares when the wide-awake
and f~arsishted farmers once realize
the value OF such n place and begin
bringing in their produce in large
quantities, which they are sure to
do before long.
This Is a free country aAd every
producer has a right to sell the re-
suits OF his labor wherever he
chooses. Nobody is compelled to rent
a stall at the city market and sell his
products there. But soon or later the
idea Is going 10 take" the stalls
will be crowded; people will naturally
flock there 10 do trading. This will
naturally leave those who are oppos-
ing the scheme sitting high and airy
and they viii find no demand for their
produce VIXEN they attempt to get rid
OF it by peddling 1t around town.
The retail merchants have shown
the proper spirit. They have APP
proved the community market plan.
Il will not be opposed by them. II
is now up TO the local gardeners and
others who have been opposing the
idea to fall In line and give the prop
osition their hearty support.

DC. IS wITH4uT MONEY
TO BUY COAL NEEDED
Purchasing Officer Hargrove Asks
for Bids and Explains Failure Of
Congress to Appropriate.

Additional complications developed to-
day in the Districts fuel shortage sit
uation. Because of failure of tht gen.
eral deficiency bill. providing $780,
for coal, the Districts contract for
delivery of anthracite coal has been
rendered void, the dealer being unwill-
ing to wait for payment. The contract
for bituminous coal was Cancelled by
the Commissioners December 80, fol-
lowing failure of contractor to furnish
it.
AS a result of this situation, Purchas-
ing Officer NJ. c. Hargrove today adver-
tised for 752 tons of anthracite coal, in
addition to the $500 tons of bitumin-
Gus coal. bids for which are to be open
ed tomorrow.
Mr.. Hargrove has sent letter to
dealers explaining the situation that
the District finds itself in on account
of the failure Of the deficiency bill and
stating that as soon as Congress con-
the Commissioners will again ask for
an additional appropriation and use
their best efforts to procure early ac-
ton.
He states that 1t is estimated that the
District will require during the remain
ing portion of the current year fifty
tons of Lykens Valley stove coal, 353
tons of white ash egg coal, 1927 tons of
white ash stove coal, eighteen tons of
white ash furnace coal and two tons of
white ash chestnut coal.

SAYS PRODUCERS FEAR
TO SELL TO RETAILERS
Impression Exists Enmity of Com
mission Men Will Be Incurred,
Witness Tells Food Probers.

An impression on the part of pro-
ducers that if they sell direct to re-
tailers they will incur the enmity Of
commission men, upon whom at times
they are dependent, is a possible factor
entering into the situation of high
food prices that is being investigated
by the District food inquiry committee.
A witness, whose name was not dis
closed, told the committee today that
he had at one time conducted a garden
for experimental purposes and that he
found it difficult to sell to retailers
on account of their fear that such
methods would meet with the dis
pleasure of commission dealers. That
any such feeling as this sort exists
was denied by a commission man who
also testified before the committee to-
day.
The committee is making every ef-
fort to get an accurate line on the gem
eral situation, and expects to be in
possession of sufficient data at an early
date to outline the character of minute
it will make into what
appear to be the principal causes of
the food shortage When the scope
of this inquiry has been determined
upon formal public hearings will be
commenced.

Relief Ships Were Given

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, March Z, via London,
March 9.-The statement made to the
Associated Press by Sir Maurice De
Bunsen, undersecretary of the British
foreign office, on the subject of Bel
gian relief, has ELECTED from the Ger
man legation at The Hague the follow
ing rejoinder:
"F'irst-An neutral ships in British
ports. and likewise all relief ships. had
not five hours. but five times twenty
four hours time in which to depart.
Whether the assertion is true that none
knew of the extension of this period
may be left to public judgment.
"Second-The two relief ships re-
ferred to are probably the Lars Kruse
and the Euphrosine. 1t is uncertain
whether either was torpedoed. The
Euphrosine was sunk January 22,
which was nine days before the an
nouncement of the blockade. Sir
Maurice's reference to the increasing
number of relief ships is the best
proof that they are not being torpe-
