!, Eastman Says Report Had Gone
Straight" For Ten YearsFour RoD-
hers Sentenced

New York, Dec. 2S.-Placiag OF
every railroad, street car, ferry and
highway entrance into the city un-
der special police guard and the call
ing ou. of $50 embryonic policemen
for final training were announced by
Police Commissioner Enrignt last
night as the latest measures to check
New York's tide of outla@ry.
Police previously had been ordered

ceSsary, all suspicious characters, ana
10 seek explanations from all persons
found in unfrequcnted thoroughfares
between the hours Of midnight and

Instructors of the police 'rookie'
organization were directed to speed

that the force might be augmented as
Soon as posi- )le.
Meanwhile the department., fearing
another gang feud as a result of the
murder of Monk" Eastman, former
notorious gang leader and way hero,
Yesterday exer7teIl themselves in an at
tempt to establish the identity of his
slayer.
A theory that Eastman, as the head
of whisky ring" met death as a
result ot quarrel with associates
over division of profits was being in
vestigated. In this connection the po-
lice instituted search for woman
known as "Lotsie," said to be Of
Monks intimates."
Charles Jones, with whom Eastman
was associated in an automobile busl-
ness after the war, said tcday he was
endeavoring to locate the gangsters
sister. He added that he would sec
to it that Eastman has a good fune-
raj and there will be lot of good
men there to show their friendship
toward him" Jones asserted Eastman
chad gone straight" since ne left
prison 10 years ago and ne knew OF
no reason why he should have been
slain.
Eastman was the seventh noted
gang leader to be slain in recent
years.
Big Jack Zelig was killed y an
other gangster known as Boston
Red" Dawson. who shot hiN in an
open Third Avenue trolley in 1917.

This doesn't imply that al goods

any price always proves expensive
Quality alone is the only test Of
vaiue-and should be the buying
guide Of every housewife
High-priced commodities that are
not worth the prices at which they
are quoted are sold because there is
a demand for them The grocer must
handle them because his trade insists
on having them The grocer is not

vice as an outright insult to their

The conscientious groeer-and the
huge majority Of grocers are of that
STRIPES eager to save money for
his customers-willing and able TO
give them intelligent and helpful ad-
vice along the lines of economical
buying. But the customer must dis
play a willingness to be advised
There should be a clearer under
sanding between the retailer and the

hon. The grocer is dependent upon
The consumer. His interests lie par

carries lood products of greatest ex-

who permit retail sales to be made
at legitimate figures
