PROF|TEER|NG ON
RENT PRObED
Palmer TO Include That in H. c.
Of |. Drive

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.--Attorney
General Palmer. having started an Of
fensive against profiteering in food
stuffs and wearing apparel, is to-day
considering what may be done to curb
the rent boosters.
Il have thought of rents as an
other of the important items involv-
ed in the high cost of living prob
lem," he said. ''but the only place
can tackle that question at present
is here in the District of Columbia"
The rent question is one for the
State authorities to handle. he be-
heyes, under existing laws. Whether
he plans legislation to suggest to Con-
gress covering the rent question he did
not say.
Some of the reports as to the
amount of goods stored in certain
States based on figures forwarded by
the Government" he said, ARE per-
fectly amazing. In some instances
the State authorities are experiencing
difficulties because of the interstate
features but I have instructed Fed
eral District Attorneys to aid the Gov
nors in every possible way"
Mr.. Palmer's most important moves
were to ask for an appropriation OF
$1,500,000 to be used in the war on
profiteers and hoarders and to re-
quest an amendment to the food con-
troll low adding wearing apparel to
the list of necessities specified by the
law.

5STORES SOLD
ON SMITH ST.
Roth & WeisbGrg Pay $4,000
for Block 0f Buildings

A real estate sale, involving five
stores in the heart of the city's bust
ness district, has Just been consumat-
ed. representing an $4,000 deal. The
property has a frontage of seventy
five feet on Smith street and varies in
depth from 1876 to 100 feet.
Roth & Weisberg, one of the Oldest
furniture concerns in the city, made
the purchase from the Shipman Es-
tate through William Voorhees,
The property includes the buildings
at 96, 98, 100. 100A and 102 Smith
street, the stores now located in these
buildings being the Great Atlantic &
Pacific Tea Company, Basins Special
ty Shop, Neer's Stationary Store, the
Citizens Building g. Loan Associa-
tion and shoe store.
The present occupants of the stores
have leases running in length from two
to six years. At the end of that time
it is likely according to Roth & Weis
berg, that they will build and move
their business from its present loca-
much larger home.
This deal is one of the largest which
has been closed in the business section
of Perth Amboy in some time and in a
few years large brick building Is ex-
pected to replace the present struc-
lures, which are all frame and one
story.
Driveways, connecting the rears of
the stores with jefferson street, are
included in the purchase. The Roth
& Weisberg firm has occupied its pres
ent site for several years and has de-
cided to remain In that same imme-
diate vicinity in the future doing bust
ness on a broader scale than their
accomm odatiOnS at present allow.

TRENTON, Aug. 14.-Telegrams
were sent today to every Federal
Grand JUNIOR in the State by District
Attorney Bodine calling them into
special session at Newark next Tues
day to take up the acute food situ-
alton in this state with respect to
profiteering and food boarding.
Mr.. Bodine also gave out letter
he has sent to the food administra-
tors in the different counties asking
to be advised of fair prices for food
fixed by their price fixing committees
and also for the names of any dealers
who may be found failing to sell any
given commodity at the prices fixed.
Vigorous steps will be taken i'm.
mediately against any dealer who re-
fuses to sell having q supply on hant
of any comm ODDITIES at the fixed rea-
sonaIble price on the theory that such
persons are holding such goods for
an increase in price," said the dis
trict attorney.
This action, he declared. constitut-
ed boarding under section six of
Food Control Law of 1917. This act
provides a fine as high as $1,000 or
not more than two years in prison
for violations.
1T is hoped that the penalties in
cident to the withholding of neces-
saries of life for a price higher than
the reasonable prices fixed by the
food administrators will have a de-
terring effect" declared Mr.. Bodine
today.
'If, however, such is not the case
immediate action will be taken by
the grand Jury in every case reported
to this office If boarding appears to
have been wilfully DONE" The dis
trict attorney blames the middleman,
stating investigations showed that
while the price of any given food
commodity to the producer is 81 the
price to the ultimate consumer is So.

The two-cent charge for handling
will make the prices as estimated at
present: Ham, 81 cents; bacon
(strip), 33 cents; corn syrup, AZ
cents. The price on canned bacon
has not yet been learned.
The food committee struck one snag
that for time threatened to cause
considerable trouble when the quar-
termaster's Office reported that in
stead of being at one warehouse the
stuff will be in three separate places.
That means that the trucks will have
to go to the Port Newark terminal
