REALTY. BROKERS TO
WAR ON BALL BILL

A campaign against the passage of
the Ball anti-prohteering bill, which
is believed will completely wreck real
estate business in this city, was be-
gun at a meeting OF the Real Estate
Brokers' Association last night.
To prevent the measure from pass
ing, realty men will seek the aid OF
real estate investors, business men,
and bank officials. The bill has been
passed by the Senate and is now in
the hands of a comittee OF the House.
In reference to the Ball bill. Bates.
Warren, before the real estate men
last night, declared:
IT'S an injustice to the property
owners, and II the measure is passed,
a man with one iota of common sense
will never develop another piece Of
property in Washington. The bill hits
at the only business In the District
and is moving IL right down."
II was agreed TO have a mass meet
ing in the near future OF members Of
the Board of Trade, Merchants and
Manufacturers Association. Chamber
OF Commerce, Federation Of Citizens
Associations, and District bank Of
ficiEls. The effects Of the bill will be
:utlined in full, and plans for defeat
ing the measure will be decided upon.

NEAR DEATH
AFTER CRASH

Lieut.. Commander Edward Nc
Donnell, of this city, and Ensign
Esten B. Roger, both Naval Air
Service officers, were perhaps IA
tally injured when the plane in
which they were attempting q rec
ord flight from New York to Wash
ington crashed to earth at Hog ISL
and yesterday afternoon.
The officers were reno red to the
Hog Island Hospital, where they
were reported in serious condition
this morning.
Had Motor Trouble.
The airplane, one Of the new Loen-
ing monoplsnes, a veritable dwarf
among seaplanes. was making the
flight beautifully until just after
reaching Hog Island. when it sud,
denly developed motor trouble, frcins
the fiiers to earth.
Unable to glide to water 80 he
could land safely, Commander McDon-
nell selected the large flats in the
southwestern portion Of PHILADELPHIA,
near Hog Island. and, gliding down
from a height Of 1000 feet, attempt
ed to pancake" or land the ship on
It's tail, 50 IL would not crash forward
over the ground.
He was unsuccessful IN this attempt,
however, and the machine, landing on
its .pontoons, ricochetted over the
rough ground, smashing through
scrub thickets and weeds and finally
crashing to q stop in a big clump Of
bushes. The plane was totally demOl-
ished, burying the unconscious men
under the wreckRge.
Workers at the shipyard saw the
crash, and an ambulance was rushed

BOOST PRICES
WHERE FOLKS

PrOberS Here Find Food Dealers
/ Charge lust as Much as They
Can Get In Locality.

Fresh eggs, Sc cents a dozen. Go
down into the next block and you will
hnd q dealer selling the same eggs for
GO cents a dozen.
Bacon. IS cents a pound. Walk
around the corner and you will meet
q grocer selling just as high a quail
1 ity Of bacon at 80 cents a pound.
This is q little illustration Of the
huctuating ideas of food values, as
presented TO the Department Of Jus
tice by Washington dealers, which Il
Is believed will throw a new light on
the prohteering question.
Interesting Facts.
The questionnaires sent out TO food
merchants by Clarence r. Wilson,
former Food Administrator Of Wash
ingtOn, 20 determine a fair price list,
are being returned with some inter
esting information.
"It appears from information in the
hands of the Department Of Justice"
one Official declared today, "that food
prices in Washington are being reEu-
lated according TO the price people
will pay. A grocer will make 100 per
cent profit on a certain article II he
knows he can wiring the price out Of
his customers. There Is nothing like
q standard price for foodstuffS. We
have learned that the profit margin
will huctuate anywhere from / TO 100
per cent on the same quality Of
goods"
The Department OF Justice will
want to know why one grocer charges
IS cents a pound for bacon while an
other in the same neighborhood can
sell II for so cents and still make a
reasonable pTofit.
Only about three fourths Of the
auestionnaires have been returned.
Those grocers who have not respond
ed fail to understand that the De-
partment Of Justice is seeking the
information asked, and that this de-
paFtment means business, being vest
ed with the authority TO go the linn
Il in prosecutions.
Cooperative Buying Stores.
The chief Of clerk Of the Treasury
Department announced this morning
that within ten days cooperative
buying stores would be opened in the
Treasury building. the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, and the War
Risk Bureau. The response for mem
bershfp In q cooperative buying as
sociation IS exceeding every eXpeota-
tion Of those promoting IL. Although
the campaign for membership is but
several days old, already several
thousand have enrolled.
These three stores will be located
In buildings with a combined num-
Der of employees Of about $4,000. II
is hoped that a large per centage
OF these viii ltake advantage of the
stores which will aid materially the
night against the high cost Of living. |
