TRADING

Smuggling of Potatoes Being
Carried on in All Parts of
Germany on a Scale Greater
Than in War Time.
(By The Associated pcess.)

Thy The Associated FteSs.)
Coblenz, Jan. 5.-Illicit trade in
food, with it's attendant evil, of SNUG
Cling and usury, is on the increase
throughout Germany, according to
newspaper accounts.
The r%ationing system has never
been abandoned even in the occupied
areas of the Rhineland and some of
the newspapers contend that the av-
erage individual cannot subsist on the
amount of food issued. The authori-
ties r making every effort to check
the illegal traffic in foods OF all kinds
and the courts are crowded cay after
day.
Smuggling of potatoes is icing car
ried on this winter in all parts Of Ger
many on a scale greater than in war
time. Germany produced an excel
lent potato crop this year and the au-
thorities : n trying to save it from
falling into the hands of the specula-
tors.
Well-to-do people have been going to
Bavaria from Prussia, Wue,ttemburg
and Thuringia to, buy potatoes, eggs
and fats for which the farmers charg-
ed exorbitant prices. This worked a
hardship on the poorer people who
could not compete with them.
Living appears to he cheaper in Ba-
varia than elsewhere in Germany.
Butter has been selling there at five
marks a pound, compared with thirty
marks in Berlin. Eggs are quoted at
twenty five pfennigs each while in
Berlin they cost LIS marks a piece.
Eggs in the occupied area have been
bringing from 2 to ESQ marks each
this winter but are very scarce at any
price.
Meat is also reported as fairly plen-
tiful in Bavaria, although in all other
states this form Of food is virtual
ly unpurchasable by householders
through regular channels excepting
once or twice each month when the
authorities permit a few ounces to be
distributed by the card system to the
individuals. Most of the hotels

EARLY SOLUTION
OF MAIL ROBBERY
HERE EXPECTED

An early solution of the mystery
surrounding the robbery or about
$4,000 worth Of Liberty Bonds from
United States mail truck in At
lanta Tuesday night was apparently
foreshadowed Thursday, when post
office inspectors rounded up and rig
orously examined three men whose
supposed connection with the case
was not divulged.
One of the three is J. D. Smith,
of 81 South Gordon street, arrested
Wednesday by city detectives while
in swimming at Piedmont park, and
now is in the Fulton county Tower
IN default of a $4,000 bond assessed
Thursday afternoon by City Recorder
Johnson under the charge of automo-
bile theft. The names Of the other
two have not been given out, but the
inspectors prosecuting the investiga-
ton do not deny that they were ex-
amined.
Smith is alleged to have joined in
stealing a car owned by V. J. Meigs,
of 81 Crumley street The machine
is said to have been found in Dab
lonega Wednesday by City Detec-
tives Malcolm and Meek after it had
been sold there Smith strenuously
denies any knowledge whatever con-
mitted that he had been taken
to the federal building and ques-
toned by .postoffice inspectors,
but declared that they got no infor-
nation from him. He said the in
spection department is trying to
fasten the mail theft on him, al
though he is innocent.
Ever since two-gun highwayman
held up the truck at Forsyth and
Hunter streets, oVeraWed John T.
Widener, registry transfer clerk, and
]. E. Craig, negro driver, and looted
the registered mail pouch on a coun-
try road beyond West View ceme-
terry, the inspection department has
expressed satisfaction with the way
their case was progressing and has
indicated that important develop
ments might be expected almost
hourly. The entire staff Of inspec-
tors, aided by officials of other post
office departments and city detec-
tives, has been giving practically it's
entire time to the case.
The investigation has apparently
substantiated the report of the postal
employees on the truck concerning the
manner in which the hold-up was
staged.

DRIVE IS ORDERED

WASHINGTON. June 18.-A drive

All federal district attorneys were
ordered to give special attention tc
charges of such profiteering and tt
seek Indictment wher investigation
warranted.
1.-THE department Of justice" said
Mr.. Palmer's instructions, lis receiv-
ing a number of letters in which COM
plant is made that bituminous coal
prices at the mines now range from
81 to Sill a ton, with a further in
crease imminent. The writer's say
that operators are attributing the
advanced prices to car shortage and
export demand, emphasis being
placed upon the export demand.
"Production cost figures gathered
by the federal trade commission
1859 bituminous coal operators in the
principal production regions mining
roughly about 60 per cent of the
annual output, show that during jan
uary, 1920, their costs per ton aver
aged 1892 at the mines. Since then
there has been an increase of 27
per cent in the cost of labor. en-
HANGING the production cost to $2.79
per ton. The accuracy of these fig
ures is borne out by information in
letters coming to the department
from purchasers of coal, from which
it appears that prices in May did not
greatly exceed those furnished to the
federal trade commission for Janu-
any.

prompt attention of all United States

breakdown but members of his fam
lily did not intimate at that time his
life was in LANCER.
Mr.. Perkins was taken to SIAM
ford about ten days ago when his
son, George w. Perkins, Jr., an
nounced the change was made to af-
ford his father a complete rest and
seclusion from his friends who
sought his counsels during the polit-
ical campaign preceding the Chicago
convention.
The affection to which Mr.. Perkins
succumbed is believed to have been
the result of influenza and pneumo-
MIA contracted while serving with
the \. M. c. A. in France during
the war
A statement by the dead finan-
GERS physicians, given out at Mr.

years a member of the firm of T. p
oMrgan & Co.,. was reputed to have
first suggested to and persuaded big

surance, service bonuses, sick bene-
fits and old-age pensions
1t was Perkins who was also said
to have inaugurated the plan which
permitted employees of. the United
states Steel corporation and the In
ternational Harvester company, in
both of which he was at one time an
executive, to purchase stock on in
stallments and at less than market
value on the assumption that indus.
trial justice is the most profitable OF

peace, peace promotes prosperity and
that the Workmen's prosperity is nee

ness man."
Mr.. Perkins was born in Chicago,
January 81, 1862, a descendant of
Jacob Perkins, an English ancestor
who settled in Boston in 1881. His
father, George w. Perkins, long en-
gagged in the shipping industry at
Buffalo, was later a pioneer in the
life insurance field. The son entered
the insurance business in Chicago

bookkeeper, an agent and subsequent
ly manager of a Cleveland office. He
went to Denver and in 1892 was made
vice president of the New York Life
Insurance company. His achieve
ments attracted the attention of the
elder Morgan and in 1900 he was in
vited to become member of the
Wall street firm. In this capacity he
negotiated a number of big foreign
loans. He remained with j. P. Nor
gan & Co. until 1910, meanwhile be-
coming a director of numerous large
corporations including the steel and
harvester companies, a number of
railroads and the International Mer-
