Whitney Is Ousted
AS First Deputy
OF Narcotic Board
Democrats Force Actions
Retiring Official Says
Resignation Was Asked
by Commissioner Herrick

Former State Senator George u,
Whitney, first deputy commissioner
Of the State Narcotic Commission, has
been ousted from that body, Accord
ing to the statement Of Mr. Whitney
himself, he was informed Of his re-
moval by Commissioner Walter r,
Herrick last Friday, when he was told
that his services would not be REQUIRED
after July 4,
Two days ago Commissioner Herriek
denied to a reporter Of The Tribune
that he knew anything about Mr.,
Whitneys removal, or that he had ever
suggested that he resign From Al
bany came the official announcement
yesterday that the resignation of Mr.,
Whitney had Sust been received,
While Commissioner Herriek In.
sisted that he and ex-senator Whitney
were on the friendlsest terms and that
the latter had been Of lnestimable
value to him In familiarizing him with
the workings OF the department, It Is
known that the Resignation" was
forced by the Democratic organization,
It was announced that Miss Sara
Graham Mulhall, Of New Yos&, will be
advanced from Second to First Deputy
Commissioner to succeed Whitney, and
that new Second Deputy will be ap-
pointed noxt month,
Former Senator Edgar r. Brackett,
with whom Whitney has long fouyht
for the control OF the Republican os-
g1nization Of Saratoga County, had no
small hand in 1t, politicians say here,
1t is common gossip that the state
Democratic organization has Ior long
time been currying favor with the
Bracket faction Of Saratoga Repuhli-
cans. BracketS men who have been re-
moved from state service TO make
places for Democrats have been mas.
ically returned, while no consideration
has been shown Whitney followers.
brackstt, 1t is known, has for long
time been desirous of getting Whitney
out Of the Narcotic Commission,
Commissioner Herrick insisted YES
terday that there was no row between
him and Mr.. Whitney.
He has been most capable and ef
f'cient," he said, at Albany. "He has
just left me after going over the new
drug regulations. His resignation was
given to mo to-day, and in my reply
tc him I shall show the appreciation
that I have for his services. The only
way can explain his talk about a
row is the misunderstanding that
might have arisen from a remark that
l made the other day. Senator Whit
ney said something about resigning
and replied that if he must resign
not to do it before July l."
Officials of the Department Of
Health yesterday admitted Mr.. Whit
ney's large and intimate knowledge of
drug conditions here, and feared that
his removal would hamper the fight
against the drug evil in this city.
Others pointed to the inactivity of the
committee since Herrick was placed at
the head of it last April, and the fact
that Health Commissioner Royal S.
Copeland had threatened to go ahead
with his own measures for the stamp
ing out of the evil before the state
body was stirred into some semblance
of functioning.

! ICash-and-Cal Plan
lAdherentsB Benefit
By Beef Price Drop
Butchers Say Housewives
Can. but Do Not, Take
Advantage of Cheaper
Meat; Reduction Gradual

In the butcher shops which give
their daily quotations in placards In
their windows and which operate on
"cash and carry" basis, the price of
beet is slipping down to a pre-war
level with unexpected rapidity.
The slackening export demand and
the effects Of war-learned conservation
are tthe chief factcss in the drop in
meat prices, according to Louis
Strauss, former member of the Price
Interpreting Committee Of the Federal
Food Board and general manager of
the L. Oppenheimer stores.
Retail beef prices have dropped be-
tween and 12 cents a pound during
the last two months, Mr.. Strauss de-
clared.. and indications are that the
lowest level has not been reached.
Housewives Are Blamed
Other dealers, both on the East and
West sides concurred In his view. An
drew Sieber, manager of Nauss Broth
ers, declared tkst the cost Of living
is coming high chiefly to those horse-
wives who preferfconvenience to ecpn.
'omy.
I'VE never had such a demand for
lamb chops" said Mr.. Sieber. "1hev
retail at 55 cents a pound, although
legs of lamb are 40 cents q pound and
fore quarters are so cents. These cuts
are from one animal. The differences
is that the housewife must reast or
stew the legs and fore-quarters, while
she must only fry the lamb chops. a
matter Of few4minutes. The house
wife no longer haggles over prices.
This is probably because wages are
so much higher"
Sieber, Strauss and other butchers
owning shops of the placarded window
variety give comparative quotations
of yesterday and three months ago to
show the decline and its adhesion to
the trend of the wholesale market. On
March 10, the bureau of markets Of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
quoted $25 to $26 hundred pounds as the
price of good steers. Yesterday the
bureau gave s1S to $40 as the prevail-
ing quotation. The prices given by the
butchers follow:

Spring Lamb Is Cheaper

Spring Lamb Is Cheaper
Spring lamb has declined between
and cents since Saturday last. The
lamb prices are slightly in advance
over those of three months ago be-
cause at that time winter lamb was
being sold. A consistent demand for
veal has halted downward trend and
resulted in 5-cent advance. Breasts
OF veal were quoted at 26 cents a
pound yesterday; legs, 32 cents, chops,
AZ cents, and outlets, 48 cents. Pork
prices are declining also, the butchers
report, chops dropping to SO cents a
pound and loins to 40 cents. The cost
Of ham is not fuctuating.

NO ACCIDENTS IS SLOGAN OF R. R.
 WORKERS

\ Railroads under federal control, comprising the central western re zion, have set aside thc week of June 22-2S inclusive as a No Acci- dent Week
 During that week the 35OO00 rail road men employed in this region will be asked to, in every possible way, guard against injury, will De asked to have in their makeup just a little more of the milk of human kindness, to be actuated by some what different motives and strive for a higher ideal than ever before and it is to be hoped will be conscl- entiosly and wholeheartedly striving to avoid an injury that might bring physical suffering to themselves or fellow workmcn or carry sorrow into their homes.
 Few people outside of railroad service know of the constructive, effective safety work being carried on today. As evidence of its accom- plishment, be it noted that in the central western region alone, dur ing the first three months of 1919, there were % fewer killed and l,05O fewer injured than in same period last year.
 The Santa Pc says in it's appeal for the individual cooperation of its employees: The commodity we arc trying to sell Is Happiness, the price of it is merely an effort to do the right, the square thing; we will take an assurance of ones good inten- tions as the first payment, and prom ise larger and more lasting divi- dends tha marc possible from any other investment"

MINE COMPANY WILL BUILD

Failing to receive financial assist .ance from the county, the Circle Cross Mining Co., today begins con struction of a new wagon road out of is camp IT Crook canyon to Kirk land valley, which railroad station will hence forth be the gateway to it's holdings
 The distance from the mine to the railroad is practically the same as 10 Prescott, but the new route has the advantage of being open all the wear. The mine road will tap that part of the county, leading out ot Walnut Grove, distant about five miles. and tne cost will be borne solely by the new mining comuany. The grade percentage is very low.

the sheriff fired without changing the position of the weapon. Andy Cooper was the man wanted, and he fell badly wounded At that instant another shot rang out from the gun of a companion of Cooper, which missed by a fraction of an inch the head of Owens. With his back to the man who shot, Owens threw his rifle backward over his right snoul- der and fired. His victim fell back ward mortally wounded and died a few minutes later. Rctreating few feet, Owens saw form through the window of the room moving around as if to get in position to shoot, when he again fired, and the outlaw inside fell to the floor and died in a few moments. It was Cooper, whom he had shot in the beginning of the fight. At that stage of the shoot ing a boy of I6 years of age ran out of the front door with a pistol In his hand and was raising it to fire, when he was instantly killed by Owens. The boys mother came into the opening and grasping her son in her arms returned to the inside.

He served but one term as sheriff of Apache county, and he brought, in two years, every criminal to his knees.

during which she manifested such rage that she freqently threw the furniture about and rolled on her bed with staring eyes and tensed fists, were described by Mrs. Riebel- ing. The defendant roomed at the Riebeling home for quite a while, in spite of her lapses. Once, she hurled a knife at Riebeling, as they all sat at the table. The state mildly in quired if the gentleman had consid- cred this grounds for asking the lodger to depart, and the witness said she mad stayed on for two or three months, though finally she was asked to take her departure.
 Pity for her, and recognition or what they termed her uncontrolla- ble temper, Jed the Riebelings to continue their kindnesses toward the unlucky girl.
 Quite the most pitiful story was that of Mrs. Leavel, who nas lived in Big Chino valley for about seven years. Loving the mother, and en- tertaining the liveliest affection for the daughter she was compelled to watch the gradual process by which her mind was weakened. Her first warning, of course, came from the mother, who mad wept out her story of blighted love, an unhappy mar riage and the child she feared she had ruined by her breeding, just be- fore the birth.
 Later, the fears were justified. Bernice was seen by her aunt sev- eral times a year, and each time, there was seemingly greater man Hesitation of her disability. On one occasion, sine was so changed. Mrs. Leavel had to look twice to recog- nize her.
 The case will continue today. It was intimated that the last witness for the defense will be Dr. Win Wylie of Phoenix, who sat all day yesterday with counsel for the de- fense, framing hypothetical ques- tions, which he will be called on to answer at today's session.
 The case continues to excite the morbid interest of the spectators, more than two-thirds of whom are women. The court room was so crowded yesterday that the judge considered providing for more seats. There was all attitude of tense re- gard for each grief-ful detail on the part of the audience, and some or them appeared to be just "eating it up."
