traitor Brings Action Against
Food Speculator

Carlisle, Pa, June 15.--Prompt

following the report of one of the
most r1agrant violations of the food

that he had brought 700 pounds of
sugar to the offices of the food ad-
ministration and that he still has 800
pounds on hand. which he is holding
pending instructions from the food
administrator. During the last two
weeks of May he purchased from a
Philadelphia firm over 1000 pounds
of sugar, which he sold in lots rang
inS from forty to 800 pounds to res
idents of the neighborhood. In adj
dition, he said that he had sold
amount of FIVE pounds or less to 9TH
er persons in the vicinity.
This case has been reported to the
state administration and Miller was
given the alternative Of standing

of the Lever bill, providing a fine of
5000 and two years imprisonment,
or of meeting all expenses in secur-
ing the sugar which he sold, return
