Residents of Warnock street between

Director of the Department of Public
Health and Charities, urging that a de-
preston in the street, long filled with
refuse and stagnant water, be filled in.
Signatures Of twenty-siX householders
are appended to the appeal, which sets
forth that seventeen cases of illness
have resulted from the condition of the
street, as the refuse matter is permitted
by street cleaners to remain in the de-
preston for weeks at a time. The re-
sulting odor, the appeal states, is
awful"
THE city authorities requested own
ers of the properties to raise the pave
ments to keep the water out of the cell
lars" the appeal reads. This has been
done, but the city has not raised the
street to drain off this stagnant water.

CORNMEAL AND FLOUR
PROFITEERING DOOMED
Food Administration to Deal
Effective Blow at Unre-
stricted Price Boosting
Washington. April ?.

The food administration is expected to
strike soon atp rofteers in cornmeal
and -four.
Limitation Of huge profits q millers
and wholesalers in these wheat substi-
tutes are looked for in the wake Of a
rigid investigation, now virtually COM
pleted.
The public, sincere in its effort to con-
serve wheat. is now paying for corn
meal twice the 1917 average price This
despite huge corn supplies available for
consumption.
Receipts Of corn at primary interior
points for one week last month were
1850 900 bushels, against 5.243,O0O for
the corresponding week last year.
Cornmeal is selling at retail for eight
and a half cents a pound in New York
and for 10 cents in Chicago. The aver
age price throughout the United States
is about six and three-quarter cents.
Unrestricted profits push prices out
of reach Of the poor. Herbert Hoover
says, and it is to equalize the burden
on all classes that he is working to
limit profits On wheat substitutes
In establishing the basis Of curtail-
ment Of profits, the food administration
will take into consideration the great
expense millers have gone to in INSTALL
ing new machinery for corn grinding.

FINE i. s. CARGO SHIPS WAITING
FOR BOY WHO RAN AWAY TO SEA
Brisk Recruiting Expected for Merchant Marine
Training Ship at Vine Street Dock-Only One
fifth Complement Signed Now

UTN THE good old days boys ran
away from home to go to sea.
Now it seems, they have to be coaxed
to go. and this in spite of the fact
that opportunities in the merchant
marine service were never brighter than
they are today
So declared William G. Rice, chief en-
rolling officer of the United States
shipping board recruiting service, at his
headquarters in the Bourse today.
Mr.. Rice was bemoaning the fact that
the training ship Calvin Austin has been
lying at her dock at the foot of Vine
street for a week and up to the present
has recruited a little more than one
| fifth of it's full complement The young
men of Philadelphia, said Mr.. Rice, APP
parently are ignorant of the many at
tractive features of this particular
! branch of the service. and to remedy
| this condition, he declared, the Govern
mant has begun an educational advertis-
/ ing campaign.
! one OF the most attractive features,
| said Mr.. Rice. is the fact that enroll
/ ment for training on the Calvin Aus
tin carries with it absolute exemption
/ from the provisions of the draft Be-
sides this. the salaries paid are the
| highest in the history of the American
merchant marine, while generous bonuses
are offered for voyages into the war
zone.
While the routine life aboard ship is
more or less exacting, there is also time
/ for recreation and shore leave, he
pointed out. The 200 or more appren-
tees on board, who were recruited in
/ New England. he said are enthusiastic
over their experiences. Many of them
expect to graduate while here, and will
be sent directly into active sea service.

CANAL LITIGATION
FEES CUT $4,000
Pennsylvania Road Must Pay
Bondholders of Old
Company

nv a decision filed by Judge Wooiley
a. the United States Circuit Court OF
Arneals yesterday a 100000 fee
.wsrded to Thomas Raeburn White and
.,her LAWYERS was reduced by one half.
rhis ruling was made in affirming the
rxht Of the bondholders of the Penn
svlyania Canal Company to collect
sund Of upward of $2,000,000 from the
pennsylvania Railroad. A 100000 fee
awarded to David Wallerstein, who
heard testimony as master in the case,
was cut to 10000.
Charles L. Hughes, former Justice OF
the United States Supreme Court. argued
the appeal for the railroad. and while
not successful in reversing the lower
courts verdict, succeeded in reducing the
fees.
Ends Long Litigation
The present litigation has been In the
local courts for seven or eight years and
grew out of failure of the Pennsylvania
cOrporatlon to maintain a sinking fund
10 meet the bonds of the canal company
At maturity, as required by a mortgage.
In resisting the claim the railroad pre-
sented counter-dema of more than
100000 in interest on coupons of
bonds and claimed priority before the
principal Of the bonds was paid.
Judge Dickinson, the trial Judge, dis
allowed the claim, holding that actions
by the railroad were responsible for the
maintenance of the fund to pay the
bonds, and in this ruling he is upheld
BY the opinion of Judge Woolley. In
his decree in favor of the bondholders,
Judge Dickinson directed that 100000
be paid out OF the fund to counseI and
fee Of $4,000 to Mr.. Wallerstein for
arranging for the distribution of the
fund.
Fund VIII Pay Costs
The enormity of the fees aroused the
Interest Of the court when the appeal
was argued, and in ordering a reduc-
ton Judge Woolley comments that they
exceed fair. compensation
Judge Woolley then explains that If
me bondholders want to pay a 100000
zee. but one half of that amount should
be deducted from the fund. The rail-
road, however, as the holder of 3S4
bonds, and entitled to share in the fund,
i not to be taxed with any portion of
me fees, Judge Woolley holds, for the
reason that they have been the defen-
can't throughout, and under the law are
not Obliged to pay the counsel fees OF
an ADVERSE interest. The cost of two
appeals IN the case are to be paid out OF
me fund, the Court orders.
