PRICE FIXING HELD
 VALID BY GREGORY
By Associated Press

Washington, January 11-Attorney General Gregory. in an opinion made public tonight by the food administra- ton, sustains the validity of the price fixing and distribution agreement be- tween the sugar equalization board and the sugar refiners.
 The immediate purpose of the agree ment the attorney general said, was to give effect to a plan formulated by the food administration to assure an adequate supply and prevent scar city of necessity of life. one of the principal objects of the food control act as set forth in it's first section.
 q have no difficulty in saying that in my opinion" the attorney general stated. "the agreement bears a clear and substantial relation to that ob- ject and also to the further object eX- pressed in section one of establish ing and maintaining governmental control of necessaries during the war; and that therefore it is authorized by the food control act and is not prohib- tied by the Sherman act"

 These figures show the vital importance of Jefferson county in the finances of the state.
 The assessment of Jefferson county is larger than that of the entire state to 1883.
 Several of the states largest mining camps are located in Jefferson county, and if the receipts from those camps were included in the amounts paid into the state treasury from Jefferson county, the countys contribution to the support ot the state would be largely increased.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald. It will be Interesting to know how much Jefferson county pays for the sup port of the state government, and how much it receives from the state.
 Few of the people of the state realize ethat the assessment of property for tax ation in Jefferson county Is practically one-fourth of the total assessment for the state.
 For the year 1917, the last year for which taxes have been collected, the as- gsessment for the state was $67O 167, ,6S2, and for Jefferson county s163, ,6S4,S74.
 For the fiscal year ending September So, 1918, there were paid into the state treasury s4,171, ,3Ss ss, advalorem taxes, of (which amount Jefferson county paid s1.- t01S, ,026. .03, almost one-fourth.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'s Letter

New York, January 1.-The market was steadier and quieter with less urgent liquidation in evidence. An accummula- tion of selling orders at the opening brought new low prices but after this the liquidation appeared to have run it's course. There was a somewhat better trade demand on the opening decline so that the market recovered some 40 points. On the advance there was fur ther southern selling, so that prices lost most of the improvement Local sen timent is rather more optimistic on the ground that most of the purely specu- lative long interest has been liquidated. There appears to be no change in the general situation and the exports are still disappointing.-H. x B. Beer

Down Before High Freshmen

The Garfield first team went down
in defeat before the Richmond High
school Freshmen, 16 to IL, Friday
night at High school gym.
The first half ended with the Fresh
men leading by four points. Garfield
fought hard to hold a lead over the
Freshmen, but the superior playing
and weight of the men were too much
for the Garfield five. The period end
ed to 8. Wynn of the High school
team. was put out in this half on
personals.
In the second half Good managed
to cage the ball three times for Gar
field, and aided by Sauter's one field
throw and a free toss by Good, the
nine points for the half were COM
pleted. The Freshmen scored up nine
points in this lap of the game, Fitz-
patrick making five of the markers,
while Taylor and Klute divided the
honors for the other two goals. Dur
ing the entire game Garfield had nine
chances at free throwing and only
made one, while the High school quin-
let had six and made two.

CHAMPS OF 2 STATES
WILL CLASH TONIGHT

INDIANAPOLIS, Mar. 29-The last
big basketball game of the season will
be fought out tonight at the Y. NJ. G.
A. here when the Indiana independent
state champs-the En- Roes-meet the
Ohio state champions, the Dayton
Triangles. On this battle hinges the
championship of two states.
The Em-Roes are in splendid form
to put up a good brand of basketball
and it is expected that a large crowd
will be present to witness the contest.
This is the second game the Em-Roes
have played at home. The other game
was with the Triangles in which the
Em-Roes won by four points. On the
Dayton floor the Triangles handed
them a defeat, thus ma king the two
teams even.
The lineups probably will be as fol-
lows: Indianapolis En- Roes- Schoe-
neman, f; Behrent, f; Smith, C; Babb,
fg, and Frankfort, the new man on
the team, back guard. Dayton Tri-
angles-Bason and Zimmerman, for
wards, Thiele center; Mahrt and Reece
guards.

Stock Masked Star

Milton Stock, who'll cavort at third
for the Cardinals this year, is a jewel
that is If there is any truth in the
old saying about consistency. For
Stock is the quintessence of consist
ency.
Stock is the player who was shown
in the flu masked player contest yes
terday.
Milton, along with Dilhoefer and
Davis, was traded by the Phils to st.
Louis, for Baird, Packard and Stewart
this spring.
He had been the third sacker of the
Philly crew for four years, going there
from the Giants in 1915.
His consistency is shown in his bat
ting. His averages for 1915-16-17-1S
were 200, .2S1, .264, and PA, respect
lively. His fielding averages were
equally as steady and he ranked well
in the list.
While his hitting never has ben re-
markable he is a timely swatter and
is good at getting around once he gets
on. He is valuable as sacrifice
man. In 1917 he was tied with Whit
ted for second honors in sacrificing
with a total of 2S. Charley Deal of
the Cubs led with 20.

Richmond has been invited to enter
still another league.
w. G. Hartwen, manager of the
Newcastle club, conferred with own
ers of the Richmond club today re-
garding entrance into loop made up
of Dayton, Springfield, Richmond,
Newcastle, Muncie and Anderson.
Newcastle, Muncie and Anderson
have been asked to enter the Northern
Indiana association, which pivots
about Logansport, but are holding off
because of travelling expenses.
Hartwell proposes circuit Of cit
les in eastern Indiana and western
Ohio to play schedule of two or
three games week, the players to
be recruited from the home cities or
elsewhere.
He met E. E. Stewart, manager of
the Delco team, at Dayton today. The
Delcos are anxious to join a league of
this kind.
If the Indianapolis meeting of old
Central league moguls is fizzle, Rich
mond will be one of the clubs in the
proposed curcuit. The owners are
agreed that Richmond must have base
ball this year. Hartwells proposition
is the best alterna tive presented so
far.
The Northern Indiana association
will meet at Kokomo tomorrow. Pros
poets indicate that Newcastle, Muncie
and Anderson will drop out TO the
loop. If the Central cannot be revived
tomorrow, Richmond, Springfield and
Dayton undoubtedly will jump into
the Hartwell orga nization.

GRAND RAPIDS Still
HOPES FOR REVIVAL
OF CENTRAL LEAGUE

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March 30.
Efforts to revive the Central league
with Grand Rapids and Muskegon as
members, have not been abandoned, it
is authoritatively stated by Bert Mob
lett, local owner yesterday.
Because there has been lack of
concerted effort. due to the setback
encountered at the start because fans
and Noblett could not agree on the
value Of the local franchise, local
boosters, who want professional play
restored here, have been laying down
just trifle.
The failure of Ohio cities to come
through in expected style has had
much to do with the loss of enthus-
iasm locally. 1t is the belief that an
association can be organized to back
the team which will be able to arrive
at satisfactory settlement with Mob
lett. Also, Grand Rapids fans haven
lost faith in Muskegon to come
through and provide the necessary
second Michigan city, if needed to
organize a Central league.
Louis Heilbroner of Fort Wayne.
delegated by Grand Rapids, Muskegon
ganizing task in other cities of the
league, is still firm in his belief that
the Central will be able to organize.
True to opinion generally shared by
baseball men who are posted in minor
league affairs, AL Tearney of Chicago
was nothing more than FILL in as
president of the western league.
1t happens that the western circuit
isn't in any better shape today than
it was when Tetrney was told over
the long distance phone that he had
been chosen for the task of guiding
the circuit over the Goals. Tearney
hasn't done any steering, apparently,
and Western league club owners will
doubtless be glad to welcome Emer-
son w. Dickerson back to his post as
president.
When advised that Dickerson would
contest the seat, Tearney lost no time
in letting the world know that he
would not stand in the way.

good ball city but has a good inter

still working on the league for this
territory and think it will be organ
ized. Richmond is one Of the cities
of the new league"
