Sugar Violators
To Face Grand jury
Two Concerns Closed Tempo
rarily and All Future Cases
Will Go to District ATTORNEY

The Federal Food Board announced
yesterday that in the future all cases
in which 1t is apparent that false af-
fidavlts have been filed in connection
with the use of sugar under the new ra
tioning order will be turned over to the
District Attorneys office for grand
jury action.
This decision followed the order
yesterday for two manufacturers of
syrup to Suspend business temporarily.
The Haber Syrup Company, of
70 Amboy Street, Brooklyn, was
ordered closed until July 10
after it was proved that its
owner had falsifed his report as to
the amount of sugar used in the first
six months of 1917. He had made af-
fidavit to have used 100000 pounds,
when he had only used 46.230.
The Star Syrup Company. of Ill
Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, was ord
cred to close for ten DAYS after
it was shown that the company
had incorrectly stated in an an
plication for sugar certificates
the quantity of sugar used from Jam
uary ! to July /, 1917.

Foundation Limits Scope
1t Discontinues Investigation OF
Industrial Relations ..

The Rockefeller Foundation an
nounced yesterday its withdrawal from
investigation of industrial relations,
stating that W. L. Mackenzie King,
who had been retained by the founda-
ton in 1914 to make such investigation,
had received permission to publish his
findings as his own property. The
foundation intends to devote its efforts
in the future primarily to its pro
gramme of medical education, public
health demonstration and war work
cooperation.
The war, it was said, had prevented
Mir. King from undertaking his study
according to the plan originally made
and likewise completely changed the
industrial situation. Comprehensive
reconstruction programmes, which in
cluded industry, it was pointed out,
were being considered by the United
States and other governments as a re-
suit of the war so that under the cir
cumstances the foundation considered
1T wisest to concentrate on the nearest
duties.

the end of what should have been a
long, hard day with their marcels un-
ruffled and to those who break away
from the canteen the minute their Off
cial time is up. Canteen work is no
longer a plaything, and if any woman
here is in it for excitement or emo
tion's sake she had better get out, for
she is hurting the work. We want only
women who are willing to work hard

Other "don'ts" for the workers were
given by Mrs. Dom Barber, chairman
of the leagues division of canteen.
Don't pile the mems plates with

pay for for sentimental reasons" she
9rged "The canteens must be paying

work in business fashion rather than
in mawkish sentimentality"
Don't wear jewelry or lace under

ber's admonitions. "Plain clothes are
best for war Jobs"
Plans for the extension OF the

u. S. Refuses to
Uphold Delay of
Panama Elections
Postponement on "Vice and
Fraud" Excuse Will Not
Be Recognized

PANAMA, June 26.--The government
has been informed that the American
State Department will not recognize
the postponement of the constitutional
elections, fixed for next month, even
though the purpose of the postpone
ment was to insure the abolition of
vice conditions in Colon and Panama,
which resulted in the American mil
itary authorities in the Canal Zone
prohibiting American soldiers from
visiting these two cities.
After the death, recently, of Pres
ident Valdez, when the opposition
party came into power through the ac-
cession to the presidency Of Giro Ur-
riola, first designate, it was charged
that the Valdez faction had control
over the election machinery of the re-
public and was sure of return to
power.
President Urriola on June % issued
decree postponing the election for
six months, giving as reason that
it would permit the correction of the
vice conditions and defeat fraud at
the polls.
The dispatch from Panama, June %,
said protest had been made 70 Wash
ington by the opposition political party
IN Panama against the postponement
OF the elections on the ground that
President Urriola's action was uncon-
stitutional The dispatch added that
the United States government had
been requested to uphold the Panama
constitution in accordance with it's
treaty with the republic.

said the government had issued two
