FISHER PREDICTS
 DROP IN PRICES
 ASCERTAIN SOON
Yale Professor Says Apex Has Now Been Reached
 in United States.

The upward trend of prices has nearly reached it's height, says Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale, political eco nomist, whose plan for sta b1l1z1ng the dollar is the subject of investiga ton by every civilized government in an article in the New York Evening Sun. ''The trend of prices has been up- ward since 1896, especially rapidly since the word war began, and it has not ceased since the armistice,'' said Prof. Fisher. "At the time of the armistice, prices were double those of 1913. They are now two and a half times what they were in 1913. Be tween the armistice and the present time, then, they have increased 50 per cent.
 we have been expecting the price level to drop since the armistice. I think I was the first person to say that prices would rise instead of fall after that time. I think, though, that soon there will be definite drop. There has been a wide advertis> l ment of the department store drops which followed the drop in some of | the wholesale prices, but the public has an exaggerated idea of the drop, which has far been confined to a l few comm odities.
 ] "Dunn's Index Number for May was slightly higher than for the first l of April, and Gibson's Weekly Num- l Der, which is confined to foods, is | slightly higher May 8 than it was | May 1.
 | '"The Index Number of the United l States Bureau of Labor Statistics or | retail prices of foods was for AprY | 5 1-2 per cent. higher than for l March, the advance being largely due | tn in, ha o1 i potatoes.
 'SThe statistics have not, there l fore, shown any general fall, but the
 inflated buying power, which ha:
 been the chief reason for advancing | prices and the secret of the mystery | of the high cost of living. 1 sNThis price recession which is be l ginning may be said to mark a crisi! | though it does not sesm likely tha
 it will imply a panic.
 "A crisis has been defined b,
 Juglar as the continuation of risint prices. It will doubtless Bring abou
 some business distress and increas
 the rate of bankruptcies, which ha
 been for several years abnormal,
 low.
 Japan already has reached he
 continuation of prices with a pric l level three and a quarter times wha it was before the war. In Englan, also there has been a slight reces sion, due to her determined attemp p
 to deflate-
 What may follow this impendin 1 recession in this country will depen,
 very largely upon the policy of ou :, Federal Reserve Board, as we'll as up
 on the policy of European govern ments. The whole world is suffer ing from imitation of money an credits. This cannot go on foreve
 without disaster, but the disaster ca
 be put off by more inflation.''

JOY BUBBLES SEIZED.

Chicago, May 27 - A freight car loaded with $40 cases of extra dry" California champagne bound for the Hotel sherman, where the California delegation to the Republican conven- tion will make it's headquarters was sidetracked yesterday at Needles, Cal, by federal prohibition agents. Federal permit for shipment of the carload of wine has been obtained for medicinal purposes
 Joseph Byheld, manager of the hotel, says the stepping has no con- nection with the fact that the Califor- mia delegation is to make it's head quarters at his hotel.
 "The shipment of wine for us was to be used for medicinal and sacra- mental purposes" MT. Byf1eld said. Since prohibition went into effect we have had a federal permit to sell wine for sacramenta1 purposes to rabbis and priests and for medicinal purposes to physicians and drug stores.
 "We had a special permit for the California shipment and will certainly take action to get the shipment if it is being held at Needles"

There must be a line beyond which men cannot go without being held responsible for injury to their fellows or the govern ment, and that line must be drawn at the point where there is a promise. threat or implication of the use of force or physical violence to accom- plish the reform which is advocated in public speech
 Stating his views as to '.direct deal ing between producers and con- sumer," MT. Palmer said:
 "I believe that the time has come when in the interests of the producer on the farm the consumer in the center of population, there should be government regulation of the ex- changes dealing in foodstuffs and in securities of corporation whose bus4- ness has to do with comm oddities which are known as necessaries.

 life by sending two bullets into his head from under the chin. The re- volver was still clutched in the dead mans hand, when the bodies were discovered. Mrs. Halpert was clothed in a house dress and the husband was dressed for the street. There were no eye-witnesses to the tragedy, the younger children being in school and the elder at work at the time.
 According to information secured by the pohce, it seems that Hafpert had been in i'll health for number of years. The man was a sufferer from tuberculosis in aggravated form, and was but recently discharged from a sanitarium where he had been taking treatment for the disease. The real ization that he could not recover from the illness is believed to have brought on the fit of despondency which caused FaIpert to commit mur- der and suicide this morning. Neigh hors of the couple informed the. police that the man and wife have quarreled frequently of late, and this fact also is being considered as a possible cause for the shooting.
 MeSicaI Examiner pr. Samuel M. Gar kk said this morning that he be- heveds despondency over i'll health to be the cause of the tragedy.

CEREAL PRODUCT BACK TO OWNERS
President Issues Proclama- tion Terminating All
 Licenses,

President Wilson has issued a proc- lamation relaxing all Government control over cereals and cereal prod ucts on June l and returning trade ln these comm oddities to private control This announcement was made in a bulletin sent to all licensees In the New England zone by Julius H. Barnes, United States Wheat Direc- tor, which officially terminates the license control exercised for the past three years by the United States Grain Corporation and more recently by the Wheat Director. The bulletin follows:
 we desire to inform all licensees that by proclamation of the President of May p, 1920. there is terminated all licenses affecting wheat and wheat products and cereals and cereal prod ucts, effective June 1, 1920, whether issued under the license authority of the Wheat Guaranty Act of March 4, 1919, or under the original Food Ad- ministration Act Of August 10, 1917. This is formal advice that require ments under that license authority for regular and special reports and other license regulations are terminated as of June ].
 +1n accordance with the terms of the vobun targ contracts entered into between the Grain Corporation and various trades, particularly ndlers, flour handlers and bakers, this is ad- vice that under the provisions of that contract the Grain Corporation an nounces as the fair equivalent of the Wheat Guaranty price-level, a price of straight flour of the Grain Corpora ton acceptable standards as $1O.7s track Baltimore, with the usual diff rerentials made by the Grain CoTT"or- ation. Attention is called to the fac1 that under those contracts if any o1 the trades desire to make tenders o1 flour to the Grain Corporation under the provisions of those contracts, i requires their affirmative action ane definite notice to the Grain Corpora tion Otherwise it will be understood that the contracts expire without thI
 resale privilege being used by th% contractors"

MAY HAVE TO INCREASE PRICE
 OF GAS HERE

 ''If the prices of oil remain where they are today and contracts are made on the new basis, gas in Bridge port will have to be advanced July 1. It is probable that the price will be 13 cents per 100 cubic feet net.
 And the troubles are not over even at the advanced cost of oil. The oil itself which is being furnished is of a different grade than formerly, creat- ing additional operating difficulties. While these problems do not concern the public they have an influence on the price of gas, and the matter Is now in the hands of 6 national com mittee who will make a determined effort to remedy some of the existing evils.
 The increase contemplated does not necessarily mean that the price established will be permanent If the effort which is now under way to re- lieve the oil situation is successful consumers may reasonably look for ward to a readjustment of prices te meet improved conditions"

RMENIANS TO.
 GO TO MOSCOW

Paris, May 27-The Armenians have accepted an invitation from the Russian Bolsheviki to send delegates to Moscow, according to information received by the French Foreign Of flee.
 A Tff1is despatch to the Foreign Off, fee says the GeorgianS have already reported an agreement with Moscow under which the Tif1is government undertakes to prevent Georgian terri tory being used for as base of at tacks of Bolsheviki.
 The reported willingness of the Armenians to negotiate with the Bo1- shev1ki is explained in official circles here by the fact that they are ex- posed to attacks by the Turkish nationaGsts on one side and by the Bolsheviki on the other, and probably have in view an arrangement assur- ing them tranquility on their north ern boundary.

WHY JOHN I.
 WAS DROPPED

Washington, May 27-Colonel Will liam Cooper Proctor. Cincinnati man ufacturer, who has been described as -'the angel" of Major General Leon arc Woods Ohio campaign, testified today at the Senate investigation of pre-convention political financing that he had advanced $50O,OO0 to Woods national organization.
 Pressed for some information about the Wood campaign before he be- came it's leader and the connection of John T. King of Connecticut with the Wood movement, Col. Proctor said he knew MT. King had severed his connection with the Wood cam paign and that it was necessary for him to reorganize, which he did.
 "I found no organization and no evidence of it, and no progress had been made" said he.
 scDid you ask King about it?'' Sem ator Reed asked.
 "Yes, and I never was told,'' Proc tor replied.
 You can't tell whether any money had been raised and spent by King" Reed asked.
 Y asked him about it just before he severed his connection. I asked what he was doing and he declined .. to tell. I had talked with Gen Wood about the matter, and about the rea- sons for taking it out of Kings hands"
 When Senator Reed asked for de tails on the break between Gen. Wood and MT. King, Col Proctor appealed to Chairman Kenyon to find wheth- CT these were included in the com mittee'S authority. He was inform ed that they were, but Senator Edge demurred.
 ''Pd like to know what there is | about this campaign that you fear tc | have brought out here,' excram et I Senator Root. What is it you feal | is going to be told? I want to de | velop whether there is a connection l between King and t.e present cam l paign-
 You talked with Gen Wood" he | continued, turning to Col. Proctor | "and learned that a new mana gemen
 was necessary. Thereupon your man | agement succeeded that of King. S' | if we are to get all the facts W I must go back to the King period ] Were any funds turned over to vol | that King had gathered?" | There weren't any funds" Col Proctor replied.

 MEN ON STRIKE

London, May N.---Twelve thousand workers on the Great Indian Penin- suta Railway have struck, demanding increased wages, says a Bombay des- patch to the Exchange Telegraph Company. Yesterday afternoon the men adopted a threatening attitude, stoned workshop windows and disor- ganized traffic in Bombay the des- patch says, while some entered the principal signal towers and compelled the men employed there to raise or lower signals at their pleasure. Trains wereb oarded by the strikers, who srna shed windows, insuIted passengers and held up traffic for an hour, it is said. When trains resumed running their shutters were closed and they were again stoned. Military detach- metns were called out but the strikers had dispersed before the troops ar rived.
