L,DESPONDENT;;
SHOOTS HIMSELF

Leaving a note saying that he had
given up hope of regaining his
health, Henry Streitberger. seventy
six years old. of 1907 z street north
west, fired q bullet from a revolver
into his brain while sitting on a bench
In the park Of the Public Library at
Ninth street and New York avenue
northwest. this morning. He is at
Emergency Hospital, where physi-
clans say he has no chance Of re-
covery
The aged man wrote the note on a
piece OF wrapping paper and attached
1t to his walking stick, which he had
thrust into the ground beside the
bench. 1t read:
Il have been siok for two years and
can move only with great pain. I
have had several doctors, and they
could do me no good. 1 think my
case incurable." The rest OF the note
was plotted out by blood stains. Per-
sons who knew Streitberger say he
frequently had said he would rather
be dead than suffer like he was"
Streitberger came to America in
1864 from Bavaria. where he was
born. He went to Philadelphia and
conducted confectionery store. Later
he came to Washington and started
restaurant business. He invested
heavily in real estate in Washing
ton, and accumulated a fortune. He
retired from active business several
years ago, when his wife died. He
has six children, three daughters and
three sons. four OF whom live in WASH
ington, while one daughter resides in
PhiladelpE a and a son resides in Long
Island. THY have all been notified.

FOODSTUFF PRICES

Chairman Clark OF the House Com.
mittee on Public Buildings, who ha:
just reported from his committee q
bill aimed in part at profiteering in
rentals here. Is also giving attention
to the subject OF prices for food.
stuffs in Washington.
Mr.. Clark said today he was con-
sidering the introduction of a measure
which would check profiteering In
foodstuffs in Washington.
THE prices charged for foodstuffs
in Washington are excessive" said
Mr.. Clark THE prices exacted BY
eating places are in most instances
extreme. Some of the hotels are
charging prices which are outrageous.
Suffering Is Likely.
Unless Congress does something to
relieve the situation there is certain
to be much suffering here this winter.
believe it is the duty OF Congress
to act. am inclined to think pro-
vision should be made for the regu-
lation of foodstuffs by a single Of
ficial. and that the law should pre-
scribe a scale of reasonable profits
beyond which those who handle food
stuffs could not go. under penalties
for violation OF law. 1 believe reason
able profits can be prescribed, and IL
is my opinion that in order to secure
prompt and expeditions administra-
tion of the law a single official should
have full authority to enforce the
proposed measure. l am looking into
the subject and hope something may
be accomplished"
Mr.. Clark said that in the interest
OF quick legislation an amendment
relating to the control of food prices
here might be attached to some bill
whose passage was assured, such as
the emergency army appropriation
bill.
InpatIence Manlfested.
Much impatience is manifested in
Congress over both the food situation
and the rental situation here.
Unless there is a speedy agreement
among the conferees on the Pomerene
and johnson anti-profteering bills,
II appears likely there will be legis-
lation in some other fashion to reach
the question of rentals.
Mr.. Clark has reported to the House
the bill asked by the housing bureau
which would give the Government
full authority to condemn property
for housing for war workers and
also would clothe the President with
power over rentals.

WALL ST. MARKET

NEW YORK, Sept 4.-There was a
strong tone to the stock market at
the opening today, but after initial
sales the market showed a reaction
airy tendency, and declines of around
point were reported in nearly all
the active issues.
Exception to the general list was
Texas Oil, which moved up . points
dropped from 115% to 1888, and
Baldwin Locomotive fell from 94s to
94A. The selling OF these issues was
attributed to the tax measure pre-
sente6 to Congress yesterday. A few
specialties were in demand. Stude-
baker moving up IA to 44%, and
American Hide and Leather common
rose y to 21H.
Some of the railroad stocks were
in demand at the opening, but soon
reacted with the general list. Union
Pacific, after advancing y to 12Sb,
reacted to 12T&, and Southern Rail-
way made a gain of 4 to 2SA from
which it yielded to 27k.
For the first time since the upward
movement started, Steel common re-
acted more than one point, selling
down in the late forenoon to 114b.
The oil stocks became active and
strong.
The railroad stocks, after making
moderate gains, lost all these and the
minor steel industrials sold off about
one point.
During the late forenoon the tone
was heavy, with a number of impor-
tant issues in supply from strong
sources.
The market was quiet during the
afternoon, and about one point be-
low the best OF the day. Railroad
stocks were quiet.
The market closed irregular.
