the 1919 Cuban crop and contracted for
some Of it to be refined here.
Mr.. Williams pointed out that this
releases approximately 10000 900
pounds Of sugar for consumption in
the Eastern section, populated by
10000 900 people, giving each person
two pounds for the week, or at the
rate Of 104 pounds for the year. The
average pre-war consumption was
eighty three pounds person a year.
1t is expected that this flow of sugar
will be maintained until the 1920 crop
is made available for consumption
here, within less than two months.
In discussing the work Of the Equal
ization Board Mr.. Williams said that
its efficient work had held the sugar
price down and saved consumers ap-
proximately $3.50, 900 900, figuring on
the rate Of advance in price of other
commodities Sugar would have been
at least Ia cents a pound, without
nrofiteering on the part of dealers. if
the board had not had jurisdiction, the
Food Administrator said.

Sugar Shortage Ended;
Pre-War Supply Here

Enough raw sugar was refined here
during the last week, officially reported
by the Sugar Equalization Board, to
more than supply the pre-war con-
sumption in this section Of the coun-
try. This is regarded by Arthur Will
Jams, Federal Food Administrator, and
by officials of the Sugar Equalization
Board as significant of the end of the
sugar shortage.
1t was reported that 79,647 $50
pounds Of raw sugar were received
here during the week Of November 8.
while 97,415,306 pounds were refined.
The excess of the amount refined over
the amount received was due to the
large stocks on hand here, but not
moved to the refneries previously be-
cause of the longshorcmen's strike Of
the refined total, 1920 900 pounds

junction suit brought by that concern.
The Rupert firm is represented by the
law firm Of Root, Clark, Buckner &
Rowland.
The appeal is made on twelve grounds
and the local Federal authorities con-
sentcd to the transfer of the case to
the Supreme Court without resorting
to the routine reference to the Circuit
Court of Appeals. In accordance with
the eXpediting statutes, the Rupert
appeal will go direct to the highest
court in the country.
Members Of the law firm say that
since priority will be granted because
of the urgency OF the issue and the
keen public interest, a decision should
be handed down this month.
Some of the grounds on which the
appeal is made are: that the court
erred in denying compliments motion
for preliminary injunction; in hold
ing the act Of Congress Of November
21, 1918, and also the act of Congress
of October 2S, 1919, known as the
national prohibition act, constitutional
and valid.
John Bierman, proprietor of saloon
at 2572 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, was
arraigned yesterday before United
States Commissioner Bick in Brooklyn
on a charge of selling intoxicants in
violation of the prohibition act. He
was held in $500 bail for further ex-
animation.
Three hotel proprietors of New
Brunswick, N. j., will be called Mon

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-Plans for a
nation wide victory celebration" by
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union next January, when constitu-
tional prohibition becomes effective,
were announced at the opening of the
forty-fifth annual convention of the
organization here to-day. Several hun
dred delegates were present for the
sessions, which will continue until
Thursday.
While details Of the program to cele-
brate it's victory for temperance were
being announced, the union let it be
known that no organized campaign for
an anti-tobacco amendment was con-
templated. Miss Anna A. Gordon, ma
tional president, denounced the "mis-
statement" that the organization
sought national prohibition Of tobacco.
The celebration program was ap-
proved through the adoption of the re-
port OF the committee on law enforce
ment, submitted by Mrs. Ella A..
Boole, vice-president, of Brooklyn. \
Program Starts January II
The program will start Sunday,
January II. when special temperance
services will be held in churches
throughout the country. On January
Is there will be watch night" serv-
ices in the churches at midnight, when
constitutional prohibition goes into
effect. January 16 will be ushered in
with the ringing OF church bells. and
the w. C. 7. U. workers will sing the
nnVnlnr1y H.,
"dry' day will be set aside as a day Of
prayer.
The w. c. T. U. then will, after
the celebration, set about seeing that
the law is enforced, the first step
being to send an reinforcement ques-
tionnaire" to Federal, state and city
officials charged with enforcement of
the law. 1t will ask what officers are
doing to enforce the law.
At the January 16 church meetings
the movement for world wide prohi-
Miss Gordon, the president, read
her annual report at the forenoon ses-
sion. In this she urged that the "dry"
movement be made worldwide. She
said in connection with the anti
tobacco movements:
No Anti~Tobacco Amendment
"We never have failed to affirm the
fact that for many years we have been
in an educational campaign concerning
the harmfulness of tobacco, especially
upon children and youth. This cam
paign we shall continue persistently to
push, but not through Federal
amendment. The propaganda of liquor
associations and Of the enormously
wealthy tobacco profteers must not
swerve us from our determination to
press our anti-cigarette and anti-to-
bacco campaign."

High Cost of Liuing
Raises Cost of Killing

PARIS, Nov. 4 (By The Associated
Press) Assistant of M. Deibler,
the official who operates the guillo-
tine. have demanded and obtained an
increase Of pay on account of the
high cost Of living. In addition to a
retainer of 5000 francs (se00) per
annum, they now will receive is
francs, instead of 8, for each work
ing day"
Deibler draws 5000 francs (s1, ,4O0)
per annum, with 5000 francs ($1,6o0)
extra for the upkeep of the guillotine.
In the fifteenth century "cases"
were more frequent and the French
public xecutioner was paid by ere

20 francs; hanging the same; draw

odd extras, such as 10 francs for ex-
hibiting mans head on pike.

that would be seriously felt. The At
lantic is by no means broad enough to
keen us from feeling it's effects.
"rhroughout Central Europe, in Ger
many, Austria, Hungary and Italy the
need for raw materials has created a
serious condition. We are not awake
to that situation in America, but | be-
Iieve we may be hit on the head by
economic facts so hard that we may
realize it's seriousness and the close
ness Of our relation to it,"
Strikes Bred by War
Labor grew dissatisfied during the
war, Mr.. Vanderlip said, and learned
that it could gain more by striking
than by working.
"You will find some dissatisfied
here as in other parts of the world,
although we did not suffer from the
war as did our associates IN Europe"
he said. "lf an economic physician
could feel our pulse and take our blood
pressure he would find an abnormal
condition. but he would have difficulty
in prescribing n remedy.
Il believe the remedy for the worlds
ills is a medicine that we must all of US
take Individually. 1t means regenera-
tion of character and return to in
dustriousncSs and unselfshness
Labor is dissatisfied with the high
cost of living. Here it has a real
grievance, for since the blshment
Of the Federal Reserve system-a wise
financial movc-wc have greatly in
hated our credit. In addition, the
other nations Of the world have sent
billions of dollars in gold to US, and
by government loans the amount of
money in circulation has been in
creased. This has SO swelled our cur
rency that prices are probably twice
as high as they once were.
High Wages Fail as Remedy
"To meet this, wages have been in
creased nearly in proportion. But still
labor shows it's dissatisfaction by
wholesale strikes. The welfare of the
world depends on the solution of the
problem"
Hamilton Holt, editor of "The Inde-
pendent" was POSTMASTER. Among the
speakers were Maurice Francis Egan,
former American Minister to Denmark; +;

wegian Parliament and chairman Of the

way in the United States, who pro-
posed toast to President Wilson.

prediction of the former food admin
istratnr excited warm applause.
In Hearts of People
New-York tribune., 1919-11-16

In Hearts of People
Referring to the victories won by
American arms and genius in Europe,
Mr.. Hoover said that while the Ameri-
can flag did not float over any con-
quered territory across the Atlantic, it
was indelibly imprinted in the hearts
Of the people.
Mr.. Lord, introducing Mr.. Hoover,
called attention to the fact that this
was the first time the Lotos Club had
been compelled to use "ice water" in
toasting a distinguished and an honored
guest. The president of the club ex-
pressed the hope. however, that the
club would continue to "bloom in the
dry sands of the Sahara Desert" as it
had before, when something stronger
than water was permitted.
Mr.. Hoover recalled the work done
by three of the most important organi-
cations with which he had been con-
nected-the Commission Of Relief in
Belgium, the United States Food Ad-
ministration, and the Supreme Eco
nomic Council. About six thousand
Americans in all had been employed in
those three organizations, and Mr..
Hoover said the miracle of the war to
him was the efficiency and the loyalty
these workers had displayed. Americans
VINO COulQ tnuS rally TO an emergency
could be trusted to find their way out
of their present difficulties at home, he
said.
$4,000 Gave Their Lives
Referring to the work that had been
done by the Commission of Relief in
Belgium, he laid emphasis on the fact
that of the 100000 Belgians the Ger
mans had taken off into German terri
tory, $4,000 had died as result of
their refusal to do work which would
be helpful to their captors.
The former Federal Food Admins
traitor asserted that not enough credit
had been given to the men who had
worked under him in the three great
organizations, adding that his selection
as administrator and chairman of the
relief commissions was an accident"
resulting from the fact that he had
been an "American on the spot"
He won applause by declaring that
the twelve men who had directed the
work of relief in Belgium during the
years of the war were also largely
instrumental in causing the peace
conference to adopt the provision that
Germany should pay the bill for her
depredations in that country.
Industrial conditions in Europe were
no better than they were year ago,
he said, and he urged that credits be
extended by the American nation so
that rehabilitation might be hastened.
