BACON STORES
Ten Additional Selling Places to
y Be Operated to Handle
Huge Crowds.

SO great a success has been the
sale OF army food in Newark. N. j.,
that Mayor 0Illen to-day an
nOunced that ten additional selling
places will be opened. At Engine
House No. 81. on South Orange Ave-
nue., the FIRST load OF bacon was sold
In half an hour to-day. When the
second load arrived there was such
an eager crowd demanding Il that
the saleswomen didn't walt for It to
be unloaded. They sold II direct
from the truck.
The sales yesterday exceeded 1900
pounds-more than one-third OF the
entire shipment OF 10000 pounds
and 80 far exceeded his expectations
that his entire organization was ut
teriy inadequate TO cope with the
situation and had to be practically
doubled. Where three big auto trucks
had been originally engaged six were
required. a
All last night a double shift OF
eighteen men and six women cut and
weighed the bacon at the Hens:sr
cold storage plant. the central dis
tributlng point. in anticipation Of
to-day's sales. This morning early
the prepared pieces were delivered
to the thirteen selling stations. Toe
canned bacon ordered by Mayor Gil
len also arrived last night and was
placed at the stations to-day.
Al had been announced, the strip
bacon is selling at 3s cents a pound,
and the canned product at IS cents.
The bacon was cut into two and four
pound pieces to-day. At the start OF
the sales yesterday only six. eight
ard twelve pound slabs were sold,
but the demand for the smaller
pieces was 30 great II was decided
TO put out the smaller weights.

WITH POLAND GIVEN
TO SENATE BY LODGE
Senator Also Presents Pact for Gov
erning Rhine District, Which
He Received Privately.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA copy OF
a treaty between the big Five" pow
ers and Poland, said TO have been

The Rhine agreement. as presented
by Senator Lodge. follows:
THE Allied and associated powers
did not insist on making the period
OF ocupation last until the reparation
clauses were completely executed, be-
cause they assumed that Germany
would be Obliged to give every proof
OF her good will and every necessary

teen years time.
AS the cost Of occupation involves
Ian equivalent reduction OF the amount
available for reparations the Allied
and Associated Powers stipulated
that II before the end of the hfteen-
year period Germany had fulfilled all
her obligations under the treaty, the
troops OF occupation should be i'm
mediately withdrawn.
"If Germany, at an earlier date, has
given proofs OF her good will and
satisfactory guarantees to Assure the
fulfillment OF her obligations, the
Allied and Associated Powers con-
cerned, will be ready to come 10 an
agreement between themselves and
for the earlier termination OF the
period OF occupation.
'Now and henceforward in orde

The report that agents Of the Big

II Is quite probable that action will

Mayor Hylan instructed Police
commissioner Enright to use the Po-
lice Department in ferreting out
threats OF reprisals on butchers who
have expressed a willingness TO sell
army meats at prices below the mar
ket rates. District Attorney Swami
ordered his assistants to look up the
law and be- prepared TO cooperate
should the police investigation estab-
llsh that there has been intimidation
OF butchers.

Francis q. CAREY announced his
willingness TO bring proceedings

ing that the Big Five are endeavor-
ing to hold up prices by threatening

Day Laborer i'm U. S.
Is Now an Admiral
With Russian Fleet
Baron de Richter, Stripped
of Estates by Bolsheviki,
Worked in Shipyard Until
Sent For by Kolchak

CAMDEN, N. j., July 12.-Some two
years ago a tall, erect Russian applied
for work at the yards here Of the New
York Shipbuilding Corporation, en-
gagged in building ships for the emer-
gency fleet. What could he do? He
said he was frst-class ship rigger,
and, given q job at Ia cents an
hour, he took only a little time to
prove it. He worked until last April.
Then he went away, obtaining first a
passport to Vladivostok, and the next
the shipbuilding company officials
heard he had his old job back as a
rear admiral of the Russian navy not
with the Bolsheviki, but with Admiral
Kolchak, of the Omsk government.
He is Othon Baron de Richter, who
commanded a battleship squadron in
the Baltic in the earlier years of the
war and who lost his flagship in the
battle with the Germans at Riga Bay
in 1915.
Baron de Richter came here early in
1917, after the overthrow of the Gear,
as special commissioner of Prince
Lvoff. Meantime. Lenine and Trotzky
overturned the Kcrensky regime, and
the baron, who was in this country with
his wife, soon learned that he was a
man not only without a country but
without money and without a job. The
Bolsheviki had confscatcd his entire
estate.
That left him only the alternative Of
getting a job. The United States Ship
ping Board at that time was filing the
papers with appeals for ship workers.
He went to Philadelphia and found An
drew Calberg. Calberg and he were
together here when the Russian cruiser
Variag was built in 1899 at the Cramp
yards. The baron then was a senior
lieutenant, and Calberg assistant yard
captain for the Cramps.
De Richter found his old friend at
the Camden yards Of the New York
Shipbuilding Company and through
him to place on the rigger crew.
Every workday thereafter until last
April the baron, in workingman garb,
left his residence at 1921 Walnut
Street, Philadelphia, and caught the
crowded early morning ferry to Cam
den. He averaged $35 week.
Fellow workmen never had the least
idea that he had ever worn the stars Of
an admiral. To them he was only an ex-
ceptlonally efficient rigger. Occasions
ally on days off De Richter and his
wife went to Washington to call on
Prince Lvoff or Boris Bakhmeteff, who
still maintained the structure of the
old Russian Embassy. Then came the
call from Kolchak--to drop the over
alls of an American ship rigger and
don the uniform of rear admiral Of
the Omsk governments navy.

Government to Return
W estchester Prison Soon

The Westminster County prison, now
being used as a barracks by the gov
eminent, probably will be returned to
the county some time next month, v.
Everit Macy, Commissioner of Chart
ties and Corrections, announced yes
terday.
81 received an informal letter from
the Assistant Secretary of War say
ing that they would have every one
off the premises by the first Of Au-
gust" said Mr.. Macy yesterday, "and
a few days later formal renewal Of
the lease by the government for an
other year, from July 1. Although I
have never seen the lease, l am told
that the government can cancel the
same on ten days notice, so that they
can practically give the property up.
regardless of the fact that they have
renewed the lease"
The Westminster prisoners are now
being held on Blackwell's Island. Mr..
Macy, in speaking Of the Westchester
prison, protested against the term ode
luxe jail" which has been applied to
1t. The prison is light, clean and
airy, he said, and the prisoners are
we'll and fairly treated under the Eff
fort League, a governing organ
ization of the prisoners, but discip-
pllne is strict and Mr. Macy thinks the
term unfair
