Commons Votes on
ProGteeriz,g Bill
Governments Act Passes
First Reading; Bread
Shortage Still Acute

LONDON, Aug. 7 (By The Associated
Press The governments bill provid
ing prosecution and penalties for per-
sons found guilty of profteering passed
the first reading in the House Of Com
mons to-day.
In the East End of London, where
the bread shortage, due to the bakers
strike, is most acute, queues formed
this morning outside the Independent
bakeries, but were mostly disappointed,
for the bakers, after working continu-
ously for thirty hours, displayed signs
reading "Closed for the day for rest"
A rush was made for a shop where
notice appeared that another batch of
bread would be ready in the afternoon.
The strikes on the Southwestern
Railway and in the South London tube
virtually was ended.
Coal Output Cut in Half
1t was announced in the House of
Commons to-day that for the week
ended July 26 the coal output was
nearly SO per cent under the previous
average. Other interesting announce
ments in Parliament were that the gov
ernment was preparing a bill for
future regulation of the liquor trade,
and also that in few exception cases
Germans were being admitted to Eng
land to trade, under close scrutiny. No
indication as to the contents of the bill
with regard to the liquor trade was
given
The governments sudden decision to
introduce a profiteering bill in Par
Lament met many adverse comments
in to days newspapers Many OF the
papers condemned the terms of the
bill, which provides for system of
local tribunals, and others expressed
dissatisfaction at the decision, which
interrupted the work of the parlia-
mentary committee.
Other Causes for Prices
"The Socialist Herald" said the gov
ernments decision was due to fear
that the committees investigation
would reveal ugly facts. The paper
recalled that members of the gov
ernment had declared it impossible
to define prohteering, and that the
Food Controllers testimony before the
parliamentary committee showed
many causes of high prices aside from
profiteering.
Critics Of the governments course
among the newspapers said there
probably would be as many defni
tions of protteering as there would
be tribunals, and some suggested that
the plan to try the profiteers locally
might open the way to unjust prose-
cstion of individual merchants
through revenge.

100000 Tons of Sugar
Refined for England
Brokers Say This Is One Cause
for Present Shortage in
This Country

The refining of 100000 tons of Brit
ish-owned Cuban sugar in refineries
here has been one of the leading factors
in bringing about the present sugar
situation, sugar brokers charged yes
terday.
They explained that England con-
tracted for one-third Of Cuba's sugar
crop OF 100000 tons through the
Sugar Equalization Board. Later, it
was explained, arrangements were
made to refine 500 900 tons of this
sugar in America.
The shortage of shipping tonnage
during the first months of the year
prevented the refining and shipment of
this sugar When shipping facilities
were improved, during May and June,
it was said, the refineries proceeded to
bring up the quantity manufactured to
an amount proportionate to the time
elapsed. The brokers say the original
contract called for the delivery of one
eleventh of the total each month, and
that If this amount was not delivered
it could not be made up in other
months.
1t was pointed out that the time and
plants employed in the melting Of the
British sugar could be utilized to re-
lieve the American shortage.
At the Sugar Equalization Board it
was sa id that the contract to refine the
British sugar was entered into by the
rehners, and merely approved by the
broad. 1t was also said that the
American refners are morally bound to
deliver the 100000 tons of sugar to
Great Britain, regardless of technical-
ties in the contract

Woman Shoots Physician
To Death in the Street

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug 7.-Dr.
Henry Zimmerman was shot dead near
his home to-day by Miss Jennie Zim-
norman, who fired FIVE shots from
revolver at him following a violent
quarrel in the streets. After the shots
Miss Zimmerman, who was not related to
DR.. Zimmerman, ran from the spot, but
she was overtaken and arrested. Miss
Zimmerman is about twenty-five years
and DR.. Zimmerman was about ten year,
older.
The motive for the shooting is not
clear, as Miss Zimmerman became hys-
terical and incoherent soon after her
arrest. She has borne an excellent rep
utation.
She has been the sole support of
several younger brothers and sisters
and has been active in Red Cross and
other war work. Her mother is in an
insane hospital. She told the police
that she had bought the revolver to-
day. She had until recently conducted
a small fruit store DR.. Zimmer rman
was a practicing physician.

War Pier Pass System
To Be Kept in Force
Persons With Friends Coming
From Abroad to Get Only
Restricted Permits

The good old days when friends of
persons returning from Europe could
obtain pier passes to meet them are
gone forever, Byron R. Newton, Col
lector of the Port, announced yester-
day. The wartime rules which barred
friends of passengers so smplified the
duties of the Collectors men that he in
tends to keep them in force in modi-
fed degree.
~ fully appreciate the natural de-
sire of people to meet their friends" :"
he said, "and arrangements are made
SO that access to the piers is in no
manner restricted The only restric-
tion is as to the small space where the
baggage is handled, and the only fair
way to deal with the situation is to
apply the rule impartially"
1ndiscriminate wandering about the
piers made smuggling too easy and
hindered the handling and examination
of baggage, Collector Newton said.
Hereafter passes to the restricted
spaces will be given only to those hav-
ing official business there, to news
paper representatives and to those
seeking to meet passengers who are
seriously I'LL.

"The fact that stocks of many i'm

higher, apparently means that they are

but which is expected when hunger

the situation and was endeavoring to
find remedy. His policy was to bring
subsidies to an end at the soonest pos
sible moment, but the railway subsidy
must continue until the railways were
IN proper working order. 1t was ad-
vlsable, also, to continue the bread
subsidy for the present. but all sub
sides would be abolished eventually.
The only means of dealing with the
adverse exchange rate, Mr. Chamber
lain continued, was to reduce imports
Of luxuries and increase exports.
Unless he succeeded in doing these
things, he said, everybody, rich and
poor, was going to have bad time.

Of Cancelled Orders Wifh

ALBANY, Aug. IA letter explain
ing the situation which has developed
from the cancellation late yesterday by
Federal officers of orders placed in
Schenectady for surplus army foods
PLACED [h oa; by + various munieipalities
heads of the several communities to-
night by Eugene II. Porter, State Com
missioner OF Foods and Markets. The
letter follows:
First plans of the War Department
called for distribution of army surplus
foods to municipalities, and communi-
cation was made direct from Washing
ton. On July 80 | wrote the mayors of
sixty cities, urging appointment of
committees to handle these purchases
in carload lots. and Immediately took
up plans for the participation Of vii
lagos in thi substitution. Because Of
q conflict in some of the Federal gov
ernment's orders, the matter was con-
sidered at conference of mayors of
cities called by the Governor August G.,
at which time announcement was made
of the War Departments willingness to
allow thirty days credit on these
goods, same to be sent on consignment
to the mayor.
"To-day am advised by the surplus
supply officers of Schenectady that all

celled Wednesday noon, August 6, be-
cause of new orders directing that
these stores have been turned over to
the Postoffice Department, and that
shipments would be made at once to
larger cities in different parts of the
country.

same.
