IN PORT ACTIVITIES
Mr.. Burgueries Is President of
West Palm Beach Chamber
of Commerce and Is Guernsey
Stock Breeder.

Hon. Jules NJ. Burgueries, member

Commission, arrived in the city last
night from New Orleans. Accompanied
by Ben S. Hancock and others he went
Immediately to the San Carlos.
In an interview with The Journal,
Mr.. Burgueries stated that he had
been appointed only recently on the

had much time to think over the loca-
tion of the centennial. he realized that
the matter was one for serious con-
sideration.
Mr.. Burgueries said that he was
much impressed with the spirit ex-
hibited by the people of Pensacola in
pushing their claims for the centen-
nial and expressed a keen interest
in the development of the port and
the naval operations here for the past
few years.
In discussing the possibilities of
the state as a whole, the commissioner
said that Florida was one of the few
states of the union which people really
wanted to visit, and that she had act
ually had more to offer people from the
outside than any of the others. He
expressed the hope that some con-
centrated plan of advertising for the
state as a whole would be speedily
accomplished and lauded the efforts
of many Florida cities and towps for
the Individual endeavor they have
shown along this line.
Mr.. Burgueries is president of the
chamber of commerc6 of West Palm
Beach and is one of the most potent
figures in the development of that
section of the state. Besides his other
business interests he is operating a
large stock farm at West Palm Beach,
paying particular attention to the de-
velopment of Guernsey cattle, many
of which have already made the regis
ter of merit for that breed.

ROB GRAVES TO
GET BODIES OF
SOLDIER FRIENDS

Brussels, Oct. 26.-Grave robbing IN
cemeteries has become more
or less frequent of late. The thefts Of
bodies are generally committed by per-
sons hired by families anxious to have
their dead brought to a particular
cemetery or in the burial grounds Of
their home cities. Requests to move
the bodies have been refused by the
and the result. is that these
persons take the law into their own
hands. Parents or relatives of soldi ,rs
have been frequently encountered near
military cemeteries at night seeking

PEACE TREATY.
IS ACCEPTED
BY AUSTRIANS
Reports Say Archduke Joseph
of Austria Will Soon Be Elect
ed to the Kingship of Hun
gary.

Vienna, Oct. 26-President Karl
Seitz, of the republic of Austria, to-
day signed the treaty of peace with
the allied and associated governments.
This completes acceptance by Aus
tria of the treaty of st. Germain. The
treaty becomes effective when formal
notices of ratification by Austria and
three of the principal allied and asso-
ciated powers have been deposited in
the French foreign office and this
fact has been made public in a formal
protocol.
Stockholm, Oct. 26.-The Svenska
DagbIadet learns from what it con-
siders an unusually well-informed
source that Archduke Joseph, of Aus
tria, will soon be elected king of Hun
gary His popularity, authority for the
newspaper states, is growing steadily,
and his consort, Princess Augustine,
of Bavaria. enjoys great popularity as
result of her self-sacrificing work
for the Red Cross during the war and
since.
If the entente objects to the assump-
tion of the throne by the Hapsburg
archduIe, it is said it will be offered
to a foreign prince. probably of the
English royal family. Resumption by
former Emperor Charles is out of the
question.
Archduke Joseph formed the gov
ernment of which he is the head last
August. His retirement was demanded
by the peace conference.

Departments Charged With Re-

Effective Declare ApprOpria-

ONLY TWO MILLION FOR
REVENUE DEPARTMENT
Department of Justice Has Only
Hundred Thousand With
Which to Conduct PrOsecu-
tions-MilIiOns More Needed.
(ey GEORGE X. MANNiNc.)

Washington, d. c.. Oct. 26.-The fur
ther the internal revenue bureau goes
along with its preparations for carry
ing out the prohibition enforcement
law the more appalled, it becomes with
the realization that it is going to be
utterly impossible to stamp out the
liquor traffic with the very limited
force that can be maintained with the
$2.000,000 appropriated by congress
for doing the work this fiscal year.
The department of justice is like
wise puzzled over the problem Of pros
ecuting all violations of the prohibit
ton law detected by the internal rev.
enue bureau with the paltry appro-
priation of 100000.
With three big measures passed by
congress calculated to make the Uni
ted States drier than the Sahara desert
the members of congress are afraid
they have advanced a step too far.
The treasury and justice departments
are aghast at the enormity of the task
of enforcing the law and the anti
saloon league inwardly has fears that
a sudden change from a "wide-open"
United States to a bone dry country
will result in a disastrous physical
and sentimental reaction.
Prohibition in general and especially
the sale of wine and beer will become
an important issue in the next gen.
eral elections, and may be one of the
principal planks of a presidential can
didate who will take the field on a
labor and wine and beer platform, ac-
cording to shrewd politicians in Wash
ington, who have closely watched the
situation.
The prohibition enforcement law to
provide measures for enforcing the
war time prohibition act now in force
and the constitutional amendment eff
fective January 16 next, was finally
passed by the senate and house last
signature. The president sent 1t to
Attorney General Palmer for ruling
as to its constitutionality, which has
been attacked. That is where the bill
is now. 1t will become effective i'm
mediately upon its approval by the
president.
The internal revenue bureau, con-
templating that Attorney General
Palmer will approve the bill and the
president sign it, is preparing,its plans
to carry it out. Confidential instruc-
tions are being issued to all it's agents
as to methods for carrying out the law.
The agents are being given copies of
the law, the departments interpreta-
ton of it, and a set of rules to guide
them as to what they can do and what
they can not do in enforcing it.
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Roper has not yet selected the man
he will place in charge of the bureau
that will. enforce the prohibition laws.
He is still looking about for man who
will have the entire confidence of the
public and at the same time the ability

Bureau of Markets Has Interest
ing Data of Various Methods
Employed in Different Sec
tions of Country.
ONE CITY ALSO is
OPERATING A FARM
Curb Markets and Municipal
Retail Market Houses Are
Operated With Direct Aid and
in Direct Saving to People,.

Washington. d. c. Oct 26.-The
municipalities, are tackling their local
food problems in a variety of ways,
some of them unusual, is evidenced by
reports received by the city market
ing division of the bureau of markets,
United States department of agricul-
ture.
From establishing curb markets, re-
modelling or building retail market
houses, efforts of cities have expanded
until some are actually selling food
supplies. while one city of about $4,000
population is operating a farm and
selling produce from it at retail.
How One City Sells Food.
Houston, Texas, which has a munic-
ipally owned retail market house, has
taken over three stalls in the building
and is handling fruits and vegetables
in competition with it's tenants. In
order to be fair to other retailers it
charges itself with all overhead ex-
penses paid by other dealers. includ-
ing rent. and also pays wages higher
than those paid in other stalls. Re-
ports on ten weeks operation Of the
city managed stalls show that it is
possible to buy and sell produce in
competition with local merchants at
both a direct and indirect saving to
consumers. The experiment is to be
enlarged to include food products
other than fruits and vegetables and is
said to be already serving as a stabil-
izing influence on prices in that city
market. Competing merchants have
become interested in, the methods of
doing business of the city-operated
stalls and appear anxious to try out
pratices that would enable them to
lower their prices.
City Goes Into Farming.
Allentown, Pa, has gone into farm
ing on a farm acquired for other pur-
poses which, through changes in mum
iciple plans, was lying idle. Under the
direction of one of the city alderman
this farm is producing vegetables and
selling them at retail in competition
with shipped-in produce. The farm
also feeds 1000 head of hogs on city
garbage. Local advocates of the. plan
now propose to include the use of an
old brewery as a storage warehouse
for potatoes and other products grown
by local farmers, So as to lessen the
city's dependence on shipped.in pro-
ducts.
Although the bureau of markets,
through the city marketing division, is
keeping in touch with developments
in many cities and is compiling in
formation for use in answering in
ouiries, it states that it would be glad
to hear from any cities not as yet
reached by formal inquiries, which are
working on local food problems
through municipality owned shops and
by other methods differing from those
that have been followed in the past
The bureau plans to make available in
formation in regard to the successes
and failures of cities in their efforts
to solve their food problems in order
that municipalities contemplating
special action may have the benefit of
the experience of communities faced
with similar conditions.
