GRENADE ATTACK ON STORES.
Enraged Germans Went After the Food
Profteers Savagely

Coblenz, Sept. l2.-Hand grenades left
over from the war were@used effectively
recently on enraged civilians in Zoppot
,in West Prussia, who attacked food
stores on the ground that the shopkeep-
'ers were profteering. According to in
formation reaching American army head
quarters, a mob, armed with grenades,
'revolvers and other weapons, attacked in
numbers the stores which were known to
have charged high prices.
In the interior of Germany margarine
has been quoted recently at six marks
per pound, whereas it formerly cost 2S0
marks per pound. This is attributed to
the fact that large quantities have late
by been bought abroad at higher prices
than formerly, owing to the low rate Of
German exchange. The official rate Of
exchange for August at army headquar
,ters is two marks, q pfennigs for one
franc, giving the mark a value in Amer
lean money of fraction more than six
cents.

ASK FOR THE REIN
STATEMENT OF 19
DISCHARGED MEN
Gompers of the A. F. of l..
Suggested That the Mat
ter of Their Union Affilia-
ton Be Held in Allegiance
Until After a Conference
Called by Wilson Oct. 6.

Boston, Sept. l3-Decision whether the
striking policemen in this city should re.
turn to work rested to-day with Gov.
Coolidge and Police Commissioner Cur
It's. In response to a telegram from Sam
uel Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, the policemen's un-
ion voted last night in favor OF resuming
their beats provided the authorities
would agree to the suggestion of Mr.
Gompers that the matter of their union
affiliation be held in allegiance until after
a conference of the labor situation called
by President Wilson for Oct g.
The resolutions as adopted by the un-
ion also called for the reinstatement of
the 10 patrolmen who were suspended for
violation of the department rules, for
bidding membership in outside organiza.
tions and whose suspension was the i'm
mediate cause Of the walkout last Tues
day afternoon.
Gov. Coolidge had left the State House
when word came of the action of the UNI
ion, but it was said that a conference
had been arranged with labor leaders
to-day and that the situation might be
considered at that time
State guard troops continued to pa
troll the streets in conjunction with vol
unteer policemen and loyal members of
the regular force. There was no repeti-
tion during the night of the rioting and
looting which marked the first 4S hours
Of the strike, and only a few arrests
were made for minor offeuses.
Attorney General Bruce Wyman is pre-
pairing for Police Commissioner Curtis
an opinion on the legal points involved
in the strike
Briefly, the point at issue is whether a
member of the Boston police department
Is an employe in the sense that his aflili
alton with other employees may not be
prohibited legally by rules of the depart
ment or an officer of the state amenable
TO the laws and rules governing police
officials
Yesterday Governor Coolidge character
lied the strikers as deserters and Police
Commissioner Curtis issued an order,
stating:
"That none of the patrolmen who
failed to report for duty Sept. 8, 1919,
or since that time, may return to duty
under any circumstances.
When the commissioner was appgised
that the strikers were willing to return
temporarily if given their former status
and without relinquishing their aflilia
tion with the A. f. of L., as requested
by Samuel Gompers, Mr. Curtis saidN
'1n all these matters | act according
to law as expressed to me by the attor-
ney general. When he replies, will
make statement of my intentions"
Governor Coolidge received Frank r,
Mccarthy, representing the American
Federation of Labor, and other labor
leaders this morning.

BECAME SUDDENLY awELL OFF"
Mr.. and Mrs. William Hallock of White
River Junction Receive 100000.

White River Junction, Sept. l3.--Mr.
and Mrs. William Hallock, who for 20
years have been employed at the juno
tion house, the former as fireman and
the latter as chambermaid, have just be-
come possessors of $4,000, in the fol-
lowing way:
When the United States entered the
world war, r. Il. Hallock of New Haven,
Conn, the only son of Elmer Hallock,
a local manager of the Aetna Life In
surance company, and nephew of Mr..
and Mrs. William Hallock, joined the
training camp at Plattsburgh, N. Y. He
had graduated from Yale college and at
Plattsburgh his ambition was to join the
aviation branch of the army. So well did
he succeed in his ambition that he left
the training camp a captain. He was
transferred to Washington, where for
some time he served in clerical capac-
ity, later to be assigned to Southerfeld
camp at Americus, Georgia. Here he
was made post adjutant.
While located at Washington he visit
ed Atlantic City. There he met Miss
Claire DEG. Yansey, a daughter Of Colo
mel Hamilton Yansey Of Rome, Ga. It
was case of love at first sight Captain
Hallock was married to Miss Yansey at
Rome while he was stationed at Souther-
field camp Last December he was given
a furlough and with his newly made
bride started North to spend the holidays
with his father at New Haven, Conn.
This was really the couples honeymoon.
En- route, they stopped at Glenn Ridge,
n. j., to visit sister of Mrs. Hallock,
Here Captain Halloek was taken sud
denly i'll with influenza. He was hurried
to Mountain Side hospital at Montclair,
n. j.. where he died Dec. 27. The funeral
at Glenn Ridge was attended by Elmer
Halloek, the father. He returned to his
home in New Haven and died within a
week. The remains of Captain Hallock
were taken to Rome, Ca, for burial, ac-
companied by the bereaved bride.
The estate of Elmer Hallock, which
would have fallen to Captain Roy Hal
lock, had he been living at the time of
his fathers death, now goes to Mr.. and
Mrs William Hallock of this village and
the children of Mrs. George Fellows, a
sister OF the deceased. Elmer Hallock
was born in Braintree, VT. During his
cary life he worked as a reporter on the
White River Junction Landmark. He
followed newspaper work for some years
before engaging in the insurance business.
