SHIN FEN GAINING
 GROUND IN IRELAND

DUBLIN, Aug. 16 (by Associated Press) ).-Besides their resolutions acknowledging allegiance to Dali Fir. rean and their sympathy with the Easter Week rebellion, the new Irish local councils are giving many evi- dences of an advanced Sinn Fein at titude.
 At Cavan they have decided 10 cut off the water supply to the military and police barracks. In north Tip perary they have refused to accept the services of policemen appointed to act as inspectors under the Food and Drugs Act. At Longford they have refused to apply the vaccination acts until they learn whether or not Dali Eirrean approves of vacinnation. Everywhere they are refusing to make income tax returns.
 Many of the higher officials of the new bodies are magistrates, and they are being ordered, and in most cases obeying the order, to resign their con- missions as justices of the peace.

QUENCH FIRE
 AT SEA IN HOLD
 OF TRANSPORT

HONOLULU, Aug. 16 (by Associat- l. Captain Eugene Mccarthy and the crew of the big United States army transport Marica fought and finally conquered fire in the ships cargo of munitions, while small arm ammuni- tion and sharpnel, grenades and bombs burst in all directions, it was learned here recently on the transports re- turn from Manila.
 Smoke was seen first issuing from one of the forward matches at 10 o'clock at night during the ships last voyage to the Philippines. The off cer of the watch sounded a general fire alarm and water was turned on immediately into the hold of the ship, where 4,000 tons of ammunition of all sizes was stored.
 Explosions from munitions in one hatch were taking place every few minutes" said Captain Mccarthy "The cargo there included sharpnel shells, ] hand grenades, detonating fuses, big [ bombs and small arm ammunition. My men carried case after case of muni- i tions likely to explode and threw them overheard. The boxes were too hot to handle with bare hands, so the men 1 wore gloves Lieutenant Bowman, transport quartermaster, was over- come by powder fumes and was com- fined to his room for several days.
 "On several occasions I had to man. euver the Marica before the wind to keep the fire from spreading On the eighth night it got so bad we had to leave the hold, batten down the hatches and turn on the smothering pipes. We flooded the hold with water and two nights later the blaze, was ex- tinguished.'
 Captain Mccarthy said the explO- sives were loaded at Hoboken and he declared it as his belief that spon- taneous combustion was the couse of the fire.

COUNT 0KUMA WOULD RECALL,
 JAPS' TROOPS

TOXIC, Aug. 16 (by Associated ress).-Japan's indefinite handling of the Siberian problem" is causing suspicion among the powers, in the opinion of Marquis Shigenobu Okuma, one of the elder statesmen. Like Clemenceau in France, when out of office, Okuma has the reputation of fearlessly criticising the men who are running the government.
 In an interview Okuma said the reason for sending a Japanese army to Siberia does not seem to be clear ly understood by the majority of the people. He added:
 '"The object of the Sino-Japanese war and the Russo-Japanese war as well as the war with Germany were clearly understood by the nation, who worked to obtain the ultimate goal with full and unanimous accord. As to the Siberian business the Japan csc people are as much in the dark as the troops who are fighting the bol sheviks on the Siberian steppes"
 After remarking on the withdrawal of American troops from Siberia, Okuma insisted that if Japan finds it necessary to maintain her troops there the whole situation should be laid frankly before the powers. He went on: What the government is doing is not clear and is apt to create the suspicion abroad that Japan is keeping her troops in Siberia for ul- terior motives. Already blame is di- rected against us for the military motives. alleged to be pursued by us in the Russian Eastern provinces.
 Tt would be better" he concluded, "for Japan to withdraw completely from Siberia. If, on the other hand, Japan is asked by the powers to fit out a punitive expedition against the bolsheviks so that Eastern Siberia may be cleared of these undesira ble elements the task should be under taken in real earnest"

CHICAGO. Oct. 3. Chicago's
market for fruit and vegetables from
middle west truck farms Is
''treacherous inefficient system work
ing az the expense OF both producer
and consumer" the Illinois Agricul-
turaI association declares in a state
ment made public here today.
The association. which is COM
posed OF nearly 100000 Illinois
farmers organized IN farm bureaus.
has recently determined 10 establish
a fruit and vegetable marketing de-
Partment. and as a step toward this
end recently sent an expert into the
s. Water -. market, the largest OF
its kind IN tie world, and the Ran
doiph n erke-. At the same time he
reviewed prices in grocery stores.
VIVA. the produce grower receives
on these markets bears extremely
little relation 20 what the consumer
PAYS for the same vegetables. the
association declares. Oficials said
they had names and figures 10 back
up their statements. The investiga-
tor reported produce was being
taken back 20 be dumped because
its growers could not afford to sell
at the price offered because there
was no sale at all.
Room for Improvement.
There Is room for farmers them
selves TO improve their methods. the
associations investigator reported.
He said he found need for more hon
est methods and for better standard
fzation. At association headquar-
tiers here today Il was said that the
first efforts OF the association in de-
veloping marketing methods would
be made Eat home" with the farm
ers. for betterment in these respects.
The associations statement sum-
rnarizing the report received says:
producers have no way Of tell
ing the supply or demand OF the
market and cannot supply the
market inteliigently. Some days
there IS a food Of certain kinds OF
produce and very often there is a
shortage OF that same product the
next day.
Prices differ 100 per cent to
growers on the same products and
the same quality, even the same
hour OF the day.
There Is little Standardization OF
packages and considerable dishon-
esty in packing.
THE price received by growers
or the quantity on the market has
little or nothing TO do with retail
prices in Chicago.
Many Trucks on Market.
Some 500 auto trucks from a
radius OF so miles from Chicago
come TO the Randolph and s. Water
ST. markets each day. These truck
gardeners sell to commission men,
wholesale houses. spectators. ped
dlers, hucksters and consumers. In
order 10 get a stand for the next
days market. truck growers begin
TO arrive at p. m. The drivers
sleep on top or in under their
wagons, according to the weather
conditions waiting for the market
to open up next morning.
The price a grower gets depends
large upon how good a guesser he
is on the supply OF produce on the
market that day which hs has
brought in and HIS dickering ability
with the buyers he meets. Investi-
cation shows that some growers SOLD
tomatoes in the box and bags OF
