SALOON MEN AssAIL HOTELS
Will Rescind Closing Agreement
Unless Hotel Bars Are Included

Hotels must not sell liquor after mid
night or the 1900 saloonkeepers who re-
Gently agreed to close their bars at that
hour will rescind their action. This is
the ultimatum announced by Neil Bon
ner, president of the Retail Liquor Deal
ers Association.
The saloonkeeprs adopted a resolution
to close from midnight until a. M,
following a request of Francis A. Lewis.
fuel administrator for the city, that they
shorten their hours to help save coal.
David Provan, manager Of the Adel-
phia Hotel and managing director of
the Ritz-Carlton, when told of Bonner s
statement, said:
1.-THE hotelmen's association is an en-
tirely distinct organization from the sa-
loonkeepers' association, and we knew
nothing of such an order There is no
reason wh3 we should close. In addi-
ton to catering to out-Cf-town guests,
a hotel is in reality a mans home.
Furthermore. We consume light and fuel
whether we sell liquor or not"

FEW In IRISH CENSUS
Only Fifty Persons Registered
Here on First Day

Only fifty persons yesterday answered
the call for a census OF citizens of the
Irish republic issued by DR.. Patrick
McCartan. the Sim Fein envoy" in
America, who has established his head
quarters at the Irish-AmeriCan Club.
The movement here is similar to one
launched in New York last week, which
has resulted thus far in four arrests by
the Federal authorities.
Doctor McCartan said about fifty per-
sons signed the registration blanks, both
men and women. The blank forms are
of a perfunctory type covering facts of
personal description and emitting any
declaration of national allegiance.

MANY STOCKS HAVE
UNEXPLAINED DROP
New York Market Declines Despite
Encouraging War News.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York, March 22.-All day stocks
held firm, but in the last hour broke
from sheer nervousness. There was
no news to- justify the break and as
all issues acted alike. sentiment was
evidently the true reason for the de-
cline. If anything. the news was
constructive. for it was announced
that the German drive was failing as
the British had regained all they ldbt
on Thursday. Buying was good on this
setback and a quick recovery must be
expected.
Announcement of the Third Liberty
loan is expected tomorrow. In the
well-informed banking circles it is the
opinion the loan will be for 400, 900, =
600 and at 1-2 per cent. The Second
Liberty bonds were heavy. The mar
ket for these bonds acts as II some
person were making an aggressive
campaign in them. They have been
lifted from under 96 to g7.S2 and now
are back to $3.50.
Most elaborated plans have been
formulated for floating the loan and
every individual in the country will
have to make it a personal matter.
Bethlehem SteeTs annual report
showing net earnings for common
stock dividends equal to 1920 a share
met with little response in the mar
ket.
Corn Products made its usual new
high record, but no explanation of this
is needed. The company is doing a
work that the government wants done
and is receiving every official en-
couragement possible.
Sinclair was heavy again with fur
ther rumors of a dividend cut to come.
Reading. Industrial Alcohol and U.
S. steel were well taken on the de-
clines. So was American Sumatra
Cotton made another new high record
price.
The chief trouble with the market
seems to be fear OF the money situa-
tion, and opening of the bond cam
paign will probably settle that. I'm
less money is eased up it will be diff
ficuIt to sell bonds and the first act
of the government will naturally be
to exercise its power in that direc-
tion.

WAR GARDENS URGED
FOR CLEVELAND PARK
Citizens Agree to Cooperate in Con-
serving Food Supply.

There will be no Stacker or idle
ground in Cleveland Park district
this season.
That was definitely decided upon
and unanimously expressed by the
citizens of this section last night at a
war garden promotion melting of the
Washington Park School and Commu-
nifty Association held at the John Ea-
ton School.
Moved to action by the stirring ad-
dress of DR.. H. F. Knapp, of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, the citizens pledged themselves
to form an army of the plow and hoe
to go over the top in the great ma
tional drive for greater food produc-
ton.
More food must be raised this
year than ever before, or starvation
will loom up before the world, he
said.
DIR. Knapp urged immediate, in
dividual action so that every family
would raise its own foodstuffs. and
not weaken the country's defenses
by drawing upon national reserves,
He recommended home gardening
as better exercise than golf. and as
very effective form of patriotic
endeavor.
Miss Josephine Burk, principal OF
Eaton School related how her pupils
had blazed the way for their elders
in gardening projects. and outlined
the enlarged scope of efforts in this
direction, which are planned for the
coming year.

lean railroad promotion and that 1t
had Increased commerce between
Florida and other State TO an ex-
tent even greater than he believed
to be possible until the life OF q
generation had passed.
1t is necessary lin these days when
the triumph OF Mr.. Flagler's promo
ton of railroads and agricultural de-
velopment in Florida is spoken of,
to make comparison with the promo
ton undertaken by the late H. H.
Rogers, whereby a railroad was to
be built modern in every feature of
its construction. with as long tan
gents as the engineers could survey
and as moderate curves and grades
as II was possible from the btu
minous coal fields in the Appala-
chan Range to a seaport at Nor
folk. Today this railroad is acknow-
ledged to have met and more than
met as commerce-bearer all that Mr..
Rogers looked for He lived Just
long enough to share in the cele-
bration of the completion OF the line.
Valuable to Government.
Were he living today he would
be able to witness some of the
largest and most important rail-
road transportation OF coal which
now occupies every railroad man
agement in the United States. The
railroad has been OF special value
to the government and the Director
General. Mr.. McAdoo. Is sure to look
with favoring eyes upon its opera
tion in perfect accord with the
method which has distinguished
that operation for several years.
Like Mr.. F1agler, Mr.. Rogers,
long associated with the Standard
Oil Company. conceived the plan of
building with his own capital and
without outside assistance a rail-
road from the interior to the sea.
Both Rogers and Flagler are now
spoken of as having been men
worthy to be ranked among the
pre-eminently great business forces
Of the United States. Some are in
clined to think that Flagler was the
abler of the two. Others give that
distinction to Mr.. Rogers. But in
achievement there was little diff
ference between them and the
amount of the fortune which each
amassed was substantially the same
