SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE CITY JAIL FILLS THIS HOSTELRy ID OVERLOOKING POINT
Reporter Describes Them as They Come in and Tells About Warden's Guests
 Last Night
By WILLIAM HAGGARD

"The town bastile," other wise known as the "safe home for the weary and destitute" y" was filled to overflowing last night.
 Visitors began to arrive with the coming of darkness, not in steady stream, but in fre- quent punches, with the devia- tions and digressions of the barometer and thermometer, for last night, be it remem- bered, it rained for a while and then turned cold.
 So did the number of guests rise in the estima tion'' of the faithful warden, who stated several nights ago, when sim ilarly pressed for room, "It is the policy of the host never to refuse board and room to any who come"
 Among the first of the customers to register last night was a six-foot, raw boned guy, with large blue eyes and prominent rose, shadowed by yellowish hair. He bounced into the warden's office stepping to the commands of the arresting officer and with a "hic, hic," and hearty but unsteady laugh greeted the warden with slap on the back, much to the warden's displeasure, but to the amusement of bystanders.
 q ain't drunk; I ain't drunk; I quit drinking"
 'Yes, and have joined the funnel gang, I suppose" joined in the warden, but I understand this will be stopped to an ex- tent on July I, and I will be glad of it. Turn him in there, door boy"
 Fresh meat" squawled the door boy; ''give him room 37, with private bath"
 For only a minute things were quiet, for the outsiders were disturbed by "Y-e-o-w, oh. oh, help. MT. Warden, he's killing me-
 <'Hic! Hic*' exclaimed the raw-boned guy after the warden had started inves- legations; 'I aint going to have no nigger stevedore dictatin' to me-" With much deliberation the arresting cop walked into the pail and collared the man and put him in an individual cell. where within few minutes he dropped off.

USE OF MILITIA FUND.

Boise. Feb. 6.-The investigation OF
the use of the militia funds by ex-
Governor Alexander and his adjutant
general, c. S. Moody, has developed
nothing positive as yet excepting as
to few items of illegal expenditure
of funds. With reference to them
Mr.. Alexander and General Moody
have already pleaded guilty by REIN
bursting the state. They have deposit
ed with the state over $500 to cover
these items, 1t is said that a larger
amount will have to be paid in to
cover the total misuse of funds.
The use of the militia funds by the
former governor for travelling and
other expenses that, it is claimed
should have been paid out of his own
allowance is attempted to be explained
on the ground that there was not
sufficient funds elsewhere to cover
that expense and that the militia ap-
preparation, being practically un-
touched, was regarded being of legal
availability.
The former adjutant general is d.
rectly accused of using militia funds
for personal ends. Nothing definite
can be stated at this time excepting
as to misuse of funds admitted by
General Moody in his payment of cash
to the state treasury since the in
quiry was started.

HELP THE OLD FOLKS
A Helping Hand Extended to Man,

The infirmities of age are many.

the European business men.
Another important factor in con.
nection with the readjustment is the
announcement that British shipping
interests are to cut transportation
rates from 90 per cent upwards, thus
usherlng. in season of sharp competi-
ton in the carrying trade. This move
had already been foreshadowed and
constitutes a warning to those who
have believed that we could continue
building ships in the United States
practically regardless of cost and yet
make them pay reasonable returns. II
is understood that the present cost OF
shipbuilding is $500 a ton, as com
pared with the pre-war rate of half
that figure and their earning capacity
will become less and less as the com
petition for carrying trade becomes

Expect Activity in Bond Market.
Investment bankers are of the opin-
ion that the next six months will wit
ness the greatest era in the issuance of
corporation bonds which this country
has ever known. In addition to MANY
new loans that will be sold for ex-
pansion and development purposes,
an unusually large amount of financ-
ing will be done in order to provide
for maturing securities. From Feb
ruary to June 80, 1919, securities
falling due in this country amount to
$764,271 400.
The highest point reached for cor
poration bonds since the Stock Ex-
change reopened in November, 1914,
was on January 18, 1917. Decline
which followed eliminated September
70, 1918. While present average
prices are considerably above the low
level, they are still more than ten
points under the high of 1917
When it is considered that interest
rates were not normal in January,
l9l7, present bond prices in COMPARE
son offer great bargains, especially so
since the future gives promise of
easier money rates. The removal of
restrictions on money for market Dur
poses has already been announced.
Railroad bonds have gained from
= to 8 points since last September
They are. however, on about the SAM
price level of one year ago and from
8 to "a points below that of two years
ago The second grade rails have. in
tact, made larger advance than the
flrst grade issues, the average of ten
representative bonds being 4.S7 points
above last year.
1t Is IN comparison with the price
level of-two years ago, however. that
the greatest losses are indicated. as
may be noted from the following
figures:

FEBRUARY PRICE

Food Administration Continues Pres
ent Hog Values; Apportions
Pork to Germany.

Westinghouse minimum base
price of $3.50 a hundred pounds
for hogs for the month of February
was unanimously agreed upon Tues
day by the high committee meeting at
the food administration.
Frank S. Snyder, head of the meat
division of the food administration,
recommended the maintenance of this
price, and told the packers, producers
and commission men present that in
creased orders from the allies, neu-
trails and eventually enemy countries,
soon would turn the present surplus
Of pork into deficit.
Let Down German Bars.
The inter-allied food council in Pa
ris, he said, had recommended that
Germany and other enemy countries
be allowed 10000 tons of pork
monthly.
Business with the allies and neutrals
will amount to 225,000 tons of pork
for the month of February, it was
said, while l50,0000O0 pounds is or
dered for neutrals and relief. The
balance will go to France and Italy.
England is not now in the market for
pork, and has 16 weeks supply on
hand
Orders from Switzerland are un-
certain, Mr.. Snyder said as the situ-
alton there is tangled
Packers May Seek Market.
The packers may now seek at their
own risk an independent market for
hogs among the neutral and allied ma
lions, in excess of their regular allot-
ments, Mr.. Snyder said, and the food

extent of obtaining ships from the
shipping board for the purpose.
