NOT GUILTY PLEA BY SIGNS.
Deaf and Dumb Man Asserts limo
cence of Charge by Gesticulations.

Although deaf and dumb, Bayard Liv-
erstol. colored, made a strong effort to
speak when arraigned before Justice
Stafford in Criminal Division 1 on a
charge of assaulting Blanche Landon
with a knife June last. He gesticu-
lated vehementiy, shook his head and
emitted some cultural sounds indicat-
ing his innocence.
The nature Of the charge against the
man was interpreted to him by means
of the sign language by Mrs. Susie
Bryant, wife of Rev. Arthur Bryant, for
merly of Gallaudet College. She will be
asked to act as interpreter at the trial.
When asked how the defendant plead
ed to the Indictment the interpreter
stated, what was apparent from the ges-
ticulations of the prisoner, that he de-
MED the charge. AS the prisoner was
without funds, Justice Stafford assigned
a lawyer to conduct his defense.

Secretary Quizzes Prisoners.

Speaking in German, the Secretary
asked the prisoners questions regard
ing conditions within the German lines
and what the soldiers thought of the
war.
The trousers of one of the prisoners
had been patched. The Secretary no.
ticed this and asked about it. The
prisoner explained that each German
regiment had a tailor's kit.
Secretary Baker gave orders that
the prisoners be given food as soon as
possible after being brought to the
rear. The Secretary was told that the
Germans had heard of American
canned beef, and that they always
asked for it first after being captured.
White bread came second in their de-
sires.
A German officer, who wore a mon
acle and carried cane, reSembled
the German crown prince. He at
tracted much attention from the Sec
.retary'S party.

Mr. Wilson Takes Charge.

At this point the meeting was turn
ed over by Commissioner Gardiner to
Food Administrator Wilson. who said
the formation of the council was well
coined by the food administration.
Discussing the possibilities for use
full work that will be presented, Mr..
Wilson mentioned. first, propaganda
work. He also stated that the mem
bers of the council could render in
valuable aid in inspecting lunch
rooms and eating places and policing
the city against profiteering.
Presenting information direct from
the allied food conference in London
as to the food needs of the allies, Mr..
Wilson said that America must send
to Europe this year 17,55O,0 900 tons of
food, as compared with a total of H.
$4,000 tons sent during the year end
ed July 1 last. This additional amount
can be procured only through the
saving of the people.
He pointed out that the plan of the
food administration for promoting the
conservation of food will be different
this year. The public is not to be
asked to eat less of certain products
on particular days, but to eat less all
the time of meats, fats, breadstuffs
and sugar. 1t is to be the gospel of

The food administrator referred to
the action taken by his office yester-
day to bring about cooperation be-
tween lunchroomS and eating places
in providing healthful food for war
workers and others at reasonable
prices. He said the names of lunch

particular attention to the lunchroom

Discussing profiteering, Mr.. Wilson
reminded the delegates of the dis
tinction between high prices and
prof1teering. The profiteer he defined

unreasonable profit There are
profiteers in Washington. he charged.
and the food council, he predicted,
could police the city so thoroughly
as to drive them out. He said that
while the food administration had
been organized primarily for the pur-
pose of conserving food it had be-
come necessary for it to take steps to
protect people against high prices.
This feature OF it's work, he declared,
could be greatly aided by the CO.
operation of the food council and the
food committees of the various citi-
zens' associations and other bodies.
They should instil in each commu-
nifty a determination on the part of
the people not to lend themselves to
profiteering
