SPR0UL MAY START
PUBLIC MARKETS
Governor Plans Blow at Prof
iteers if Federal Author
tiles Fail to Act

Governor Sproul may establish sys-
tcm Of public markets. under state
supervision. as n direct remedy for the
high cost of living.
The Governor announced that ms
his plan of action in a campaign to
reduce the cost of living in an interview
at his home near Chester. The Gov
ernor has just returned from confer
ence of governors held in Salt Lake
City. On Friday he and several other
governors held conferences with Presi-
dent Wilson and Attorney General
Palmer in Washington on the subject of
food prices.
I'VE have the authority and the
proper agencies in Pennsylvania for the
establishment OF public state markets."
said Mr.. Sproul. "and If we find that
such extreme measures are necessary to
give the people relief we shall set up
such markets. 1t would be somewhat of
an innovation in Pennsylvania. but if
there are constituencies profiteers
operating in the state something will
have to be done to. put them out of
business. However, this we shall hold
in reserve as last resort. 1t can be
done and would be quite practicable, but
before going to such an extreme we
shall give the federal authorities plenty
Of time to act. IL they fail to find
profiteers we shall conduct our own in
vestigation and see if we can find the
lawbreakers and punish all we find. The
state market idea will be an effective
weapon il we are obliged to use it.

creased Rates on Trolleys

Station agents along the line of the
Atlantic City and Pennsylvania Rail
road lines between Clementon and Cam
den and Haddonfeid and Camden to-
day reported the sale of the monthly
tickets for September to be unusually

cided to use the steam trains in pref
erence to paying the increased rate
of fares on the trolley cars beginning
September IA.
Petitions have been sent to both
railroad companies for additional trains
and it is believed they will be put in
operation after this week when the
heavy traffic to the seashore ends. The
railroads have promised to help the
trolley riders as much as possible.
Trolley crews say the traffic is stead :
lily falling off. They attribute it to
the new, schedule which is to 60 into
effect ia two weeks. Most of the crews
are with the riders, They say they
are opposed to the increased work which
will be imposed upon them by the zone
system and some of the motormen de-
clare a number Of crews will quit their
jobs. They are now being instructed
in the workings of the new system. !,
A large autobus which carries forty
persons is now running between Fed
eral street ferry, Camden, and Ceilings
wood. Passengers are carried to Har-
leigh Cemetery for fye-cent fare and
ten cents to Collingswood. More buses
will be put on this week to other towns.

TELLS TALES OF SEA
TO RECRUIT OFFICERS
Lieutenant Whiteside Succeeds
i'm Inducing Men to Enter
Merchant Marine

Here's a new and unique government
job-spinning sea yarns to gain recruits
for the merchant marine, position that
Is being filed by Lieutenant III. Z.
Whiteside with credit to himself and
with great success in strengthening the
personnel OF, the merchant service.
/ 0ficialiy, Lieutenant Whiteside is the
shipping boards enrolling officer for the
merchant marine, with headquarters at
1856 South, Third street. Unoficially,
he is known as the best teller of sea
stories that ever came to this port.
And every one of them is true, having
been drawn from his own actual ex-
periences in the merchant service dur
ing the war. Lieutenant Whiteside has
been aboard torpedoedb ships and has
had other war adventures that rival
those of the heroes of fiction.
Lieutenant Whitesidc experiences no
difficulty in getting young men to ''sign
up" in the merchant service, All he
needs TO do is to spin few yarns,
and the prospective applicants, fasci-
mated by his stories, hesitate no longer,
and soon are on their way 10 the
training ships for instruction. So that
while, officially, he is the government
recruiting agent at this port, he is
really a duly authorized spinner of sea
yarns, and young men with hankering
for an adventurous career are invited
20 call upon him and listen to some of
bis thrilling tales.

CAMDEN MAN VICTIM
OF $4,000 SWINDLE
"Dapper" Chicago Youth in Bail
for Alleged Sale Of WORTH
less Stock .

A ready flow of language and con
vincing attitude were the means used
by Fred Austin. of Chicago, to obtain
more than $40, 900 from Alfred Muir. of
Camden. for worthless mining stock, the
police say.
Austin is the kind of youth who is
often designated as "dapper. He
looked it today as he faced Magistrate
Pennock at the Central police court.
He crumpled, however. when be was
held in $1,000 bail for court,
Muir told a story of how Austin
urged him to part with the money.
He met Austin in Atlantic City a
year ago while on vacation. They
became chummy. Later Austin visited
him at his home in Camden. The latter
explained how easy it was to make
money through investment in mining
stock. Muir said he drew $1,000 from
bank, mortgaged his home and gave
Austin the money.
BY way of adding reality to the
scheme. Muir said, Austin took him to
see an officer of mining company at
Lancaster. Pa. Later there was a trip
to Wheeling, W. Va. Finally Muir and
Austin went to Steubenville, .. There
Muir said he met another officer OF the
company, and when he left the official
he had only So left. 49,
Nothin more was heard Of Austin
until Muir heard he was in Atlantic
City. He was arrested there.
