MALAMUTES EAT PART
 OF DEL(O LIGHT SYSTEM

A malamute dog attacked and car ;; ried of part of Delco lighting sys-
 tenn at Seward the other day. accord ing to Gus Gillis, a well know travel ing man from Juneau who arrived in i; Anchorage yesterday.
 ! In Seward, Gillis purchased a dog i team intending to make use of 1t on
 his trip to Anchorage. While waiting
 to leave Seward two of his friends
 borrowed the team for the purpose of
 going along the trail to take photo | graphs. They obtained the views, re- turned to Seward and hitched the
 dogs, in the rear of the Overland hotel
 to an auxiliary Delco lighting system,
 which was covered by small shed.
 The leader of the dog team became
 restless. He noted a number of small
 batteries connected with the lighting
 system and proceeded forthwith to de-
 vour them. Three were partially eat en and about seven destroyed when Gillis arrived on the scene. He was
 just in time to prevent the dogs from eating some of the vital parts of the machinery to which they were hitch
 ed.
 Then came the angered proprietor of the hotel and demanded $200 for the damage. Gillis paid the money and
 is now busily hunting for the two friends who borrowed the team. Fearing the leader had acquired an appetite for DelcO batteries Gillis sold
 the team at Camp S7.-Anchorage | Times.

ERSTWHILE CHAMP LOSES
 TO VALDEZ DARK HORSE
"A billiard instructor once thot He was master of all that he taught,
 The last pupil of all


 The last pupil of all
 Out of him took a fall.
 Now his advice is no longer sought"
 A new star has appeared in the Armament, which with it's ever-in- creasing brilliancy bids fair in time to even outshine the sun. The Gold en" sun.
 The billiard tournament which was pulled off in the Pinzon Saturday night United States Deputy Marshal s. O.. Casler dragged the banner of the former champions in the dust, taking them singly and in punches. The first game. between the Marshal and C. Fl. Golden, resulted in the marshal sprinting away from the Val dez Wizard at a rate that drew gasps of wonder from the audience. Despite expert advice by his second and understudy. Dan. Wilsey, and the repeated encouragement of his many friends in the audience. "Goldy's" sun set with a jar. MT. Casler defeat ing him by 61 points. And he came under the wire without a sign of the tremendous mental and physical exer- tion required to beat the local "wiz. |" Tn the second game Clinton Egan took Dr. Silverman into camp to the turn of .11O to the doctors 95. Mir. Egan's friend blame the Miner for the defeat, saying that the article in Sat urday's paper spurred MT. Egan to his best efforts, and that when he Is in form no one can beat him.
 Sunday was again an off day for the champs. s. o. Casler defeating Marshal Brenneman by the small margin of about 49 points. Marshal Brenneman was handicapped from the start, as Casler clicked of seven points the first inning to show how it could be done, and although the Marshal ran IS the result showed his nerves were badly shattered as 12 was the best he could do after that. And when the Marshal is in form it takes two sets of balls to keep him going, as one set is cooling while he uses the others.
 Again comes Casler. In close game he defeated Dr. Silverman by 26 points. At the end of this game the champs held a closed meeting and passed resolutions denouncing the new champ, and asking that his han dicap be raised. But Burr Snyder. the Signal Corps man. like brave Horat- jus at the bridge. offered his body to stop the breach. and after few short preliminaries, defeated the new cham pion by 45 points. showing it could be done if necessary to save the good name of the town.
 Wm. Sparavalo defeated Dr. Win ans. who has won every game hereto fore, by a small margin, the doctors mind being on his Ford, and the good weather giving him the autocitis.
 Tonight's game will be between the law and the jewellers association. w. s. Bonnifield will play George

Finley Opposes Closing
Schools of the State to
Conserve Coal Supply

ALBANY. Jan. 2.-Thc holiday vaca
tion for schools should not be extend
cd for the purpose of economizing fuel.
was the opinion expressed tonight by
Commissioner of Education John ii.
Finley in response to several inquiries
from superintendents of schools
throughout the state.
"Of course. if the school authorities
of any community in the state arc un
able to obtain coal or other fuel for
heating the buildings it will be neces
sary to extend the vacation,' said tho
commissioner.
"But the last places in a city or vii
lage to be closed should be the school
buildings. Their closing would result
in much suffering on the part OF the
children who come from homes which
do not have fuel. IT. would be better
to close tho saloons. theatres and other
places which do not meet some public
necessity rather than close the
schools"

Solid Coal Trains
Ordered Ahead of
All Other Freight

WASHINGTON. San. 2 Solid coal
trains were ordered Eastward ahead Of
all other freight tonight. after CON
ferences between the Director General
OF Railroads and the Fuel Administra-
tor on further plans for speeding coal
to New England and other sections
short of coal in the midst of blizzard.
The railroads were directed to give
preference, so far as possible, to ship

ton. 10 curtail hauls and promote eff
cheney.
The organization Of a great army ef
laborers loaned by cities and corpora
tions to unload coal and other fire ght a {.
congested terminals now is under CON
sidertion. and some thought even has
been given to the possibility of having
soldiers assigned to these tasks if the
civilian organization proves imprac-
ticabie.
Transfer of locomotives from the
West and South, where congestion is
not so serious and weather less inclr-
men.. was planned by Directors General
McAdoo and his staff. With the equip
ment will come a number of employees
from those districts to assist the over
burdened East.

Wheatless Day
Helps City Save
Its Wheat Quota
No White Bread Deliveries
by Bakeries on Wednes-
days Is Urged

New York, by its wheatless Wcdncs-
wheat saving quota. according TO the
estimate yesterday Of Arthur Williams,
food administrator Of New York.
His estimate was in face of the fact
that good many restaurants are max
ing no pretencc of observing wheat
less Wednesday," that most bakeries
are delivering just as many white
loavcs on Wednesday as any other day,
and that wheat bread is just as OBJ
tainable in grocery stores on the
"whcatless day" as at any other time
in the week.
Mr. Williams will go to Washington
next week TO confer with National
Food Administrator Hoover on the ad-
visibility of forcing all New York to
observe "wheatless Wednesdays"
Even now feel that New York is
doing very WE'LL" said Mr.. Williams.
"ln response to the patriotic appeal
New York has cut down on its con-
sumption Of white bread until this city
is saving SO per cent OF the white -four
1t was expected to save. This saving is
effected by the persons who strictly OBJ
serve the 'wheatlcss Wednesdays and
those fewer ones who out of patriot
ism. abstain from tho use Of white
bread all the week around
'By ordering bakeries not to deliver
white bread for Wednesday consump-
ton it would be possible to enforce A
New York 'wheatless Wednesday, to the
letter. The bakeries are licensed, you
know. Whether it would be good pol
icy economically to issue such an order
will be decided at Washington. 1t
would be quite task FOR bakeries to
change their maclspcry SO as 10 make
no white bread on tuesdays"
New York grocery stores are having
no trouble in getting all the white
bread they want for Wednesday sales.
Wednesday means nothing on the cal
endar of most New York bakery COM
panics.
Bakers yesterday took the stand that
unless all bakeries refuse to deliver
white bread on Wednesday there is no
use of one attempting anything in
that direction. In the absence Of an
order from Hoover a baker would
merely be losing trade to make a lone
attempt to abolish white bread sales
on Wednesday, one baker pointed out.
"Wheatless Wednesday" was observed
yesterday. as on previous recent
Wednesdays, in large uptown hotels
and in many of the chain restaurants.
But in the rank and file of the ordi-
nary restaurants it was not so.

Eggs, Put on List of Luxuriies,
Will Yield Place to Pinto Bean
Vegetable Substitute Is Cheap and Nourishng Saws w F.
Priebe Who Urges New Workers to Eschew the Egg
and Chew Some Other Food

Eggs we're officially erased yesterday
from the list of food necessities and
placed on the "luxury list" In place
Of them the United States Food Admin
istration submitted, for public approval,
the Pinto bean.
Whence the Pinto bean and why was
explained at length by Arthur Williams,
local food administrator, after w. L.
Priebc, director of the poultry and egg
section of the National Board, had is
sued the clarion call to New Workers
to cschew the egg and chew some other
sort of food
The Pinto bean is a vegetable prod
uct. which can be sold in great guam
titles to the retailers Of this city at
eight cents pound and retailed with
profit to the consumer at ten cents
pound. 1t is said to be slightly inferior
in size to the navy bean, but much
superior in dclcctability. 1t has mani
told functions, being rot only good for
baking and as d basic ingredient OF
soup, but as component Of war bread.
he representatives Of retailers who
heard Mr.. Williams laud the Pinto bean
promised to try it out on New York.
It will be placed on sale within A few
days.
Egg Famine Predicted
The death knell of the egg was
sounded in no uncertain terms by Mr..
Priebe, who is regarded AS the coun-
try's foremost authority on the sub
.Iect. He predicted a famine in eggs
and urged people to stop shouting
"lower priced eggs or revolution"
and stop eating eggs
In the mean time. California is do
ing it's best. the director said, to help
out. Fresh eggs are being rushed
here. When he was asked fair
price for those eggs, Mr.. Priebe re-
piled:
Seventy cents wholesale and IS
cents to 80 cents retail. This price is
not manipulation, but is due to lack
New-York tribune., 1918-01-03

Oh supply. The Pacific Coast will send
US from $50 to 200 carloads of epgs
IN January and February. That is from
oo.0oo TO $4,000 cases. 50 it is easily
seen that eggs will be too scarce to
permit OF their bcing eaten frcclv."
Price Scale Considered
Retail grocers of the city presented
ihtir SIDE or the price scale question
to Commissioner Williams yesterday.
they were represented by Charles H.
Hasiop, president OF the New York
City Retail Grocers' Associations; Peter
Amor, vice president of the same or
"anlzation, and Charles Thorpe, sccre-
tary of the state association. Three
thousand city grocers are members Of
TIE association headed by Uaslop.
The retailers took the stand that 1hc
law of supply and demand should con-
uol the retail prices of commodities,
while the commissioner cmphacically
held to his belief that reasonable
profit on the original price paid by the
retailer should prevail, despite any
scarcity later arising.
The retailers pointed out that specu-
Iatlve business must Of necessity con-
troll the retail quotations. To support
this theory, they said man willing to
risk loss by adverse weather conditions
and other agencies who put eggs into
cold storage at 80 cents dozen should
be rewarded with a price of AS cents a
dozen when the eggs were released.
One OF the retailers representatives
told the commissioner that he had pur-
chased several tons of butter at 43
cents pound last June to be held for
storage for him and delivered on call
FOR this he said he was now getting SO
cents. "What would you call that" he
challenged the official
"Td call you a profteer," came back
the unexpected answer "Why, you're
just the type of man we are after. If
you were interested in your govern
ment's efforts to help things along you
New-York tribune., 1918-01-03

said the response Of the general public
rad been satisfactory, but insisted that
many public eating places had failed to
comply with his requests.
Mr.. Hoover said he did not believe
ms carrier warnings of a sugar short
age had anything to do with frighten-
sng people into boarding or provided
an excuse for dealers to raise prices.
He believed the high prices extorted by
dealers IN isolated cases were an index
o. what would have been general
condition throughout the country had
rot Tie food administration arranged
maximCm prices between producers and
rehners.
Had the government purchased sugar
imports as he advocated last summer.
the food administrator said, 10 price
agreements would be necessary now.
The voluntary price agreements. he
thought, had retarded soaring prices
and in some cases actually had been
the causes Of reduction.
The State Department was raspon-
slble for setting a price of 46O for
this years Cuban sugar crop, NJ
