GERMAN FOOD PRICES
TAKE SHARP DROP
Impending Raising of Blockade Is Fore
ing the Food Traffickers to Get Rid
of Hidden Supplies-Most
Marked Decrease Is in
Rhine Zone.

Berlin, Friday, July IL (By the Asso-
ciated Press In view of the impend-
ing raising of the blockade, the gov
ernment's recent action in reducing the
prices of food staples is forcing food
traffickers to get rid of hidden supplies.
As result, a sharp decline in prices is
reported from all sections of Germany,
the most marked decreases being in the
Rhenish zone of occupation, where they
have fallen from 30 to so per cent.
As stocks in occupied territory APP
parently exceed the demand, large guam
titles are being shipped to Berlin, where
good prices still prevail. Berlin will
probably be the last city to enjoy APP
preciable price reductions, as much of
the city's supplies must be shipped long
distances.
1t is reported from Weimar that the
government viii exercise active control
of incoming war material and also ex-
ports. The latter part of the program
is meeting with vigorous opposition in
commercial and industrial export circles,
where it is maintained that personal in
itiative would be more successful abroad
than government control. The clerical
organ Germania editorially opposes the
injection of bureaucratic compulsory
measures" into the nations transition
economics and declares that German
commerce needs freedom"

ALIENS ARE HELD UP:
PLOT Is ALLEGED
Two Men of the Party Taken Off Train
at St. Johnsbury Were Unable to
Walk, Being Crippled with In
fantile Paralysis.

st. Johnsbury, July 1.-two men,
two women and three children, Russian
and Polish Jews, believed to have been
smuggled across the Canadian border,
were arrested here and taken yesterday
to Newport for hearing. Accompanying
them was a New York travelling sales
man, who gave the name of Zelt, He is
thought to be implicated and is held.
The aliens claim they paid an auto
mobilist $l75 to bring them from Mont
real to st. Armand ?. Q. They were
met by car bearing Vermont number
and brought to Fletcher. They boarded
the train there for St Johnsbury en-
route to New York. Both men are un-
able to walk, being crippled with infan-
tile paralysis.
Their condition aroused the suspicion
of Conductor Il. NJ. jackson of st. Johns
bury, who notified the immigration au-
thorities at Newport, who were here
when the train arrived.
Immigration officers believe the gang
of opium smugglers, part of which have
been arrested, is behind this new plot to
get undesirable aliens across the border.
The minimum penalty is $4,000, or five
years Imprisonment. The officers are
looking for the Vermont car that figured
in the plot.

Warner was 43 years of age. At the
trial he claimed that Mr.. and Mrs. Wig
gins had influenced his wife to turn him
out Of his home.
Warmers mother, his sister, Mrs.
Brown OF Brattleboro, and his oldest
son, Dewey, babe him farewell yester-
day. His sister made last attempt yes
terday to save Georges life. She tele-
phoned to Gov. Clement at Concord, n.
H., and asked him to grant reprieve.
Gov. Clement told her he had no author
ity to do so. Then Mrs. Brown asked
the governor to commute the sentence, to
which request Gov. Clement replied that
he could not do so. Earlier in the week
the Vermont supreme court had denied
q petition for a stay of execution on the
ground of newly discovered evidence, the
attorney for the condemned man, j. G.
Jones OF Rutland, having so petitioned in
order that an appeal for a new trial
might be made.
Until yesterday Warner had been liv-
ing normal life in prison here, having a
good appetite. Yesterday he ate but lit
tie and had gone without sleep most Of
the time. He was quite nervous yes
terday.
Warner killed Mr.. and Mrs. Virgins
on Nov 4, 1914, after quarreling with
them. The evidence at the trial went
to show that Warner also quarreled with
his wife over a pending divorce, after
which he secured a rife and went to the
home of his wifes parents and shot both
of the old people dead.
