Say Firm Boosted
Price of Sugar
Austin, Nichols & Co. to
Appear Before Federal
Food Board Here

Representatives Of Austin, Nichols
e. Co. will appear before the Federal
Food Board, 22o West Fifty-seventh
Street, ct l o'clock this afternoon to
answer charges Of asking excessive
prices for sugar.
Complaints were made to the COM
plant bureau Of the board, it was said
yesterday, that the company was charg-
ing IL cents pound for sugar, when
the fixed price was 10 cents for granu-
lated sugar in packages and 9h cents
for loose granulated sugar.
After looking over the papers in the
Austin Nichols &, Co. complaint Food
Administrator Williams said last night
that "it seems very unlikely that a
firm Of that standing would 5copardize
its reputation BY not abiding by the
rules" and in order that the firm
might be given a quick chance to de-
fend itself, tho hearing was called for
to-day, Saturday, instead Of next
Wednesday, as was intended. Mr.. Will
Jams said it appeared from what he
had seen of tie papers that the charge
Of IL cents was made for Jack Frost
sugar, special brand. Harry Balfe,
president of the firm, when asked
about the action taken by tho board
last Friday night, made the following
reply:
"Thc only answer that can give is
that we are conforming to the letter
Of the food administration instruc
ton. Undcr no circumstances would
We permit any price on sugar except
that authorized by the food admins
tration."
II. A. Gushee. president of the New
York State Hotel Mems association
and member Of the restaurant divi-
sion Of the food administration. said
yesterday that waste had been practi-
cally eliminated in the kitchens Of New
York's hotels.
"Only one form of waste continues
he said. "That is the failure of the
diner to eat all he orders. We can't
stop that"
The president and several employees
of a large New York wholesale grocer,
house yesterday were summoned t(
appear before the Federal Food Boart
at p. m. to-day to explain ALLEGED
overcharges in their quoted wholesale
prices for lump and granulated sugar
Two small dealers, cuf.omers Of thu
firm, complained that they had beer
overcharged, and produced bills rem
dered by the wholesale concern OF
which sugar was quoted at price
higher than those allowed by the foo,
board
The Rev. Jonathan c. Day, recentl.
appointed as Public Market Commits
sioner by Mayor Hylan, yesterday dis
| covered that bakers specialty suppl
concern had fifteen barrels Of New
Orleans sugar which it was willing t.
sell to the city at $7.86 a hundre
pounds. Dr. Day arranged for the pur
chase Of the sugar. which he will turl
over to various East Side settlemen
houses at cost for distribution to tn
needy.

Says u. S. Sugar Price
Will Cut Production
Cubans Dissatisfied With the
Scale of 4.6O, Declares
Trade Adviser

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The Senate
committee investigating sugar devoted
all the time to-day to hearing J. V.
knight, testifying as trade adviser
tor the Cuban government and a con-
tributor to trade newspapers.
Knight said Cuban sugar producer.
were dissatisfied with the price Of 4.6o
agreed upon between the Cuban gov
ernment and the State Department. and
predicted that the discomfort wonld
cause decreased production next year
Othere witnesses had testified that the
Cuban price was too high.
The first Cuban commission, which,
came to Washington last September
was "practically presented with an ulti.
matum' on the price OF 4.60, knight
said and declined to agree to it, But
another commission, which arrived two
months later, arranged to sell at that
price. ''S

Freeholders Under Fire

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 4.-Supreme
Court Justice Kalisch to-day told the
grand jury to indict the Essex County
Board of Freeholders il it found that
the old heating plant at Overlook
Hospital for the Insane was removed
without cause before the new ones were
installed.
n, He further charged the jury that
there may be another phase Of the
case which you will be called upon to
consider, and that is whether the evi-
dence will warrant the finding Of In
Board Of Freeholders and the individ.
ual members thereof" The court said
he doubted it manslaughter charge
would hold.
Before the new heating apparatus
was installed the cold wave set in. and
for the last few weeks there has beer
much distress among the eighteen hun.
dred patients.
During December thirty-eight pa
tients died. against eight for the same

Argentine Wheat to Allies
100000 Tons Will Be
Ground in II. s.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--Much Of
the 100000 tons of wheat to be re-
leased by Argentina to the Allies will
be transported by way of the United
States for milling here. 1t will be
brought up in neutral ships and after
milling will be taken across in British
vessels. This will keep the neutral
ships out of the danger zone, will keen
American mills busy and will give to
the United States the bran for cattle
feed.
Officials here have been expectinl an
announcement of completion of ar
rangements between Argentina and the
Allies for sale Of the grain. Details
Of the negotiations have not been made
public, but it is considered likely that
England in exchange for the grain will
permit the shipment to Argentina Of
large quantities Of coal. No secret is
made of the fact that one reason the
Allies have been particularly anxi. us
to get this grain, aside from their
urgent need of it, is that they feared
it might 20 to the northern European

In d u strials
Cotton

An early advance in cotton yesterday
was checked by reports that some Of
the Carolina mills have been forced to
close owing to lack of power, but Il
sharp reaction was followed by recov-
cring on trade buying and later advices
indicating that these mills would re-
open on Monday morning. The mills
referred to in the Charlotte section use
electric power, and, according to re-
ports received here. the decision to
close them down from noon on Friday
for over Sunday was due to scarcity
of water. 1t was believed that there
would be sufficient accumulation Of
water in the reservoirs By Monday
morning to supply power until the sit
uation was relieved by higher tempera-
lures. No deficiency Of precipitation
has been reported IN the Carolnas, and
the shortage of water consequently is
attributed to the cold snap. AS the
ordinary mill schedule calls for only
will be only for ono full days opera
ton. Vague rumors that some of the
New England mills had also been
forced to close were not confirmed.
March contracts sold off from 31.1O to
3o.52 and closed at 3o:97, a gain Of II
points. The general list closed steady
at net advances of IL TO 10 points.
Exports for the day were 29,574 bales,
making 2.111, ,2AS so far this season,
against 3,237,372 last year. Southern
spot markets as officially reported
were unchanged to 3b points lower
most of them b ing unchanged, with q

Packers Charged
With Restricting
Meat Shipments
Philadelphia Official As
serts His Concerns Terri
tory Was Limited

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.-Further
evidence tending to prove that the
American Agricultural Chemical Com
pany was the chief agent in an al
legged illegal combination Of meat in
terests to force a local independent
rendering company out Of business was
produced to-day before the Federal
Trade Commission, which is conduct
ing an inquiry into the meat packing
business.
The chief evidence submitted con-
sisted Of a copy OF letter written,
according to Francis J. Heney, counsel
for the commission. by Hugh ]. Rob-
ertson, general manager of the Ameri-
can company and president of the
Eastern Oil and Rendering Company.
to E. ]. Murphy, local agent, which
stated that "you want to train your
guns on M. L. g."
In reply to charges made in an in
terview by Robertson that he has been
refused permission to testify, Mr..
Heney to-day said he had ignored the
requests for fear OF "miscarriage ot
justice"
Refuses to Permit Testimony
The lawyer asserted that officials
who waived immunity to testify in the
famous investigation Of the Swift and
Armour plants in Chicago in 1905
escaped indictments, although proven
guilty Of breaking the law. "As the
same thing might happen in this case,"
said Mr.. Heney, ~ have refused per-
mission to Robertson to testify, even
though he says he Is willing to waive
immunity"
"This investigation which We arc
conducting" he said, will 60 all over
the country. visiting every big city
where conditions similar to those
found here ire to be looked into at the
direct request of President Wilson,"
Frederick w. English, secretary OF
the D. b. Martin Company, local pack
ing firm, whose name was mentioned
in the letter, denied all knowledge Of
the letter. He refused to admit that
the IN. L. S." referred to in the COM
munication was the NJ. L. Shoemaker
Company, Inc.
Tells Of Restrictions
It was as result Of the complaints
by w. S. Allen, of the Shoemaker
Company, the local independent firm,
that the Philadelphia investigation was
ordered. Ira A. Lindville, assistant
| treasurer Of the D. B. Martin Company,
gave testimony tending to show that
while his company was unmolested in
the rendering phase of the meat busi-
ness. it was restricted to small terri
tory by certain packers to dispose Of
its fresh meat supply.
He testified that it was practically
impossible for the D. B. Martin Com
, pany to ship dressed beef to New Eng
{ land points unless cars owned by the
Swift Company, of Chicago. were used
1--WE could ship all freight over the
Pennsylvania Railroad to New York
he said, "but could not get our owr
cars through to New England. Swift
cars were sent through in good time ,
The witness said the necessity thai
Swift refrigerator cars be used in New
England forced them out as competi
tors in that locality and held them tt
points nearer PHILADELPHIA.

Cereals

Wheat to reports from
the West, the winter wheat crop is
quite we'll protected by snow covering
and is therefore in a favorable posi-
tion. The movement at interior points
was small, but owing to the short-haul
system instituted by the food admin
istration large amount of tho wheat
moving goes direct TO country cleva-
tors and mills, and consequently never
finds it's way to the usual statistical
points. AS matter of fact. statistics
on wheat are considered misleading,
and there is believed to be more wheat
in tho country than appears in the
official reports from time to time.
Corn.-The market was quiet but
steady. closing with net gains of Il

contract prices arc too near the maxi
mum figure of S1.2S to make the mar
ket an attractive proposition on the
buying side. while the absence of a
surplus stock and the prevailing high
prices for the cash article cause q
feeling of extreme timidity about TAX
ing chances on the short side.
The weather over the West was more
favorable for the movement. Receipts
