BRYAN Men to Aid
Marshall, Hoping
To Inherit Votes
Vice-President's Candidacy
Expected to Collide With
Those of Palmer and Me-
Adoo Later in Campaign

Friends of William J. Bryan in New
York and Washington are setting the
stage for his great come back" at the
jackson Democratic dinner in Washing
ton on January 8, the day Of the meet
ing of the Democratic National Com
mittee. Mr.. Bryan is planning to at
'"nd the spread, and his New York
lleutenants are confident that after he
makes his speech the Democrats of the
country will be aware of the fact that
the Commoner is going to try to domi-
ate the next Democratic National
Convention.
The Bryan forces in New York are
led by former Governor Joseph w. Folk
OF Missouri, who has a law Office both
is here every few days. The Bryan
men are supporting the boom of Vice
President Marshall. Attention was
called yesterday to the tone of the
speech made by Mr.. Marshall on Friday
at the dinner in his honor at the Dem
ocratic Club in indianapolis. The
Bryan men said the tone was exactly
like that of Mr Bryan when he is pour
ing forth eloquence about the Prince of
Peace, and that Indiana is sure to send
delegation to the convention instruct
Gu IOT MarSnall.
1t is understood that Thomas Tag
CART, former chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee and one of
the original Bryan men, is again ac-
tive for the Nebraska statesman and
that he will do all he can with Charles
F: Murphy, the Tammany Boss, to con-
vince him that if the convention can
not see its way clear to nominate Vice
President Marshall it again can draft
William J. Bryan. 1t was said last
night that Mr.. Marshall's speech will
be circulated all over the country un-
der the postal frank of some Demo
cratic Congressman friendly to Mar
shall and Bryan. The Bryan men are
trying to induce Augustus Thomas, the
playwright and orator, to enlist for
Marshall and Bryan.
While the friends Of Bryan are os-
tensibly backing the Marshall boom
they are keeping in mind the certainty
that Marshall's boom will collide with
those of McAdoo. Palmer and others
and that after the smash there is &
strong probability that the convention

to "a clarion call for all the women Of
the State Of New York." but which
turned out to be for Democrats and
Socialists only, as Republican women
were barred, was held at the Hotel

Crosby announced that the purpose Of
the meeting was to form committee
of 1000 women-"Democrats, non-par-

by at least ten of the seventytive pres
ent, we're not put to vote by Mrs.
Forsythe, who presided. Several of the
women said "tho meeting is all cut and

Arizona SiIUer SerUice
Finds Ship After Hunt
Mayor Mix of Nogales Makes Presentation ON Quar-
terdeck of Dreadnought, Thereby Succeeding
i'm Action He Has Been Attempting for Years

For the last five years the Mayor of
Nogales, a little Arizona town down
on the border, has been trying to pre-
sent $4,000 silver service to the
battleship Arizona. The dreadnought
wanted the gift and the people of Ari-
zona were eager that she should have
it, but somehow Mayor Mix--no kin to
Tom, the actor-the battleship and the
silver service couldn't arrange to be
at the same place at the same time.
Twice delegations Of we'll known Ari-
zonians crossed the continent and came
to New York, only to find the dread
nought was somewhere else.
Finally, Mayor Mix located the ship,
completed all arrangements, and yes
tcrday afternoon at the New York Navy
Yard, with large number Of native
Arzonians fringed around a green
and-red stand on the quarterback, made
the presentation on behalf of the State
of Arizona. Captain John Fl. Dayton,
the ships commander, received the
gift, acting for Secretary of the Navy
Daniels.
United States Senator Henry F.
Ashurst, of Arizona, and Mayor Mix
spoke, and the delegation of Arizona
people who had been invited to attend
swarmed around the magnificent silver
service spread out on the stand. The
service consists of about $50 pieces.
There was much speculation as to the
use that will be made of the beautiful
punch bowl, inlaid with silver and
made Of FURNISHED copper, the finest
produced by Arizona mines.
The presentation ceremony began at
$3.50 O'Clock. Officers of the ship and
a guard of marines took their places on
the quarterback, and music was fur

Prosecution of
Sugar Pro6teers
To Begin Soon
Food Administrators Now
Collecting Evidence; Says
Victims Allow Couging
to Keep Business Going

Federal Food Administrator Arthur
Williams declared yesterday that
Wholesale prosecutions of sugar prof
iteers would begin as soon as the pres
cnt stringency is relieved.
Mr.. Williams explained that the gath
ering of evidence against profteers was
difficult at present because their VIC
Tins preferred being gouged to losing
a source Of supply. He said he was
convinced that some dealers have elud-
ed the combined vigilance of Federal
state and city authorities and are de-
manding and receiving eXorbitant prices
for sugar. When retailers, restau-
rateurs, wholesalers and manufacturers
are able to obtain their sugar through
legitimate channels mass Of evidence
will be forthcoming to enable the Fed
cral authorities to punish all protitecrs
Price Decline Predicted
"There is no doubt that unfair
deAle rs have seized upon the shortage
to profitecr in sugar" Mr.. Williams
said. "Although we fully realize this
we are compelled to look on helplessly
simply because the man paying for the
sugar is willing to be victimized to keep
ii
ness from being shut down.
"The Federal authorities are poised
ready to swoop down on these profit
ecra, and this will be done as soon as
the victims are able to get sugar at
fair prices"
Mr.. Williams predicted a speedy de-
cline in the price of Louisiana sugar
This sugar was first released on this
market about month ago at 18
cents n pound. The Food Adminis-
traitor said yesterday that he knew
specifically Of two stores which we've
selling it Mt 13 and II cents a pound,
respectively.
"1t is merely a case of supply and
demand adjusting the price," Mr..
Williams said. asking high prices
might not affect the sale Of com
modify at first, but in time it will
always reduce the demand and bring
consequent reduction in price"
Food Sales Banned
Commissioner Of Markets Edwin J.
O'Malley declared yesterday that he
had definitely decided not to permit
DR.. Jonathan c. Day to use any of the
public markets for the conduct of his
sales stations.
~ am convinced" Mr.. O'Malley said,
that the food sales are a private en-
terprise and l have definitely decided
to keep them out of the cty's mai.
kets. The stocks Of food that Dr.
Day now has in the jefferson and
greensboro markets may remain
there until DR.. Day finds some other
place to send them. but | will not
permit him to conduct sales in the
city markets"
When this was called to the atten-
ton of Dr. Day he said that Mr..
O'Mnllcy's decision didn't trouble him.
Besides, he said, he was through with
the Markets Department and didn't
want anything to do with it any way.

humorous talk, in which he told his
audience just how much the people Of
Arizona thought Of their dreadnought
namesake. The silver service was pur-
chased with funds raised by subscrip-

tributing.
Senator Ashurst stressed the need Of
a great navy. 81 don't underestimate tc
the glory of the United States army"
said the Senator, "but I know that it
and Great Britain that really did the
work in the World War | arr for a
great navy always. He is a fool and
lives in a FOOLS paradise who would
have us maintain a small navy. We
want navy large enough to intercept
any hostile ships in case Of future
wars. I'd like to have the league of
nations, but now as it looks like we
CANT have that we must have real
navy"
Speaking of prohibition. Senator
Ashurst declared that he wasn't a pro-
hibition crank, but felt that grape
juice had done much for the sea forces
of Uncle Sam. ''The eye of the gunner
must be clear" he remarked, "and it
can't be clear if he drinks alcoholic
beverages"
The silver service presented to the
Arizona consisted of the big punch
bowl, pitchers, goblets, trays, vases,
forks, spoons, knives and candlesticks.
