GREAT FALL IN MEAT SALES

High priced meats are not to the lik-

tsilers report falling off in sales.

'But we can't helm it," a retailer
added.
Meats have never been higher than
for the last two weeks. dealers say.
The falling off in sales may bring down
prices soon, it is believed.
Frank II. McClain. federal fair price
commissioner for Pennsylvania and the
man who predicted high meat prices.
says the consumer must now fight his
battle against increasing price of food
stuffs alone, as the United States Dis
trict Court in this district has refused
70 enforce the Lever act.
W Mr.. McClain confessed he is in n

that through his agents he he has been

an extent that the prices of the neces-
sary foods are much lower in the
western part Of the state than in the
eastern portion.
A retailer may be arrested for
charging an excessive profit in Dauphin,
Lebanon or York counties. but even If
. much higher percentage of profit were
added in Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester,
Berks, Delaware or Lancaster coun-
ties nothing could be done by the fair
price commissioner.
"we have better control of the shoe

McClain. las they have agreed. through
their representatives. on percentage
which Is considered fair profit.
Seventeen courts throughout the coun-
try have upheld the Lever act and six
have declared it unconstitutional. 1t
has also. been upheld by two United
States Circuit Courts of Appeals.
Eventually the legal question will be
solved by the Supreme Court. but for
the present the consumers will have to
deal with the retailers directly in this
part of the state. as the Fair Price
Commission literally has its hands tied
and cannot aid through the courts.

 STORAGE CHARGES

The Arizona corporation commits sion does not believe that people should have to pay. storage for baggage because of disability or negligence of the company or the employees, accord ing to an order issued yesterday citing the Arizona Eastern railroad to ap- pear at II o'clock Monday morning, December 13, to show cause why it should not refund S2.51 to Mrs. H. D. Kline of Buckeye.
 Some time ago Mrs. Kline went to the city ticket office, purchased a tick ct to Buckeye. checked her baggage and was all ready to go when she found out that there were no trains because of bridge having been washed out. She then motored to her destination and in the course of time received her luggage. She also re- ceived bill of s2.51 for storage of her luggage.
 After an informal investigation the corporation commission suggested to the railway company that it refund the amount which it collected from Mrs. Kline. As yet it has received nc response from the railroad. The ordel has now been issued whereby it vii l have to show why 1t should not be re | quired to modify it's rules and regula tions to prevent recurrence of ex acting storage charges on baggage re tained by reason of it's own disabilit l to serve.

MURDERCHARGES. AGAINST CHECKS. ARE DISMISSED
Preliminary Hearing Of Case Comes To End With Freeing Of Checks-Evi- dence Insufficient

After preliminary hearing which lasted six and a half days. Justice Charles Dc Sales Wheeler yesterday dismissed charges of murder against Victor Check and his wife. Belle Check. The decision was given on the ground that there was not sufficient evidence to warrant holding the Checks 10 tho superior court.
 Final disposal of the Check case came after arguments had been com T'leted by counsel for both sides, the arguments taking up most of yester- iay morning. During the arguments Airs. Check twice broke down and sobbed. and when the judge gave his decision, writing finis to the case, both Alr. and Mrs. Check burst into tears.
 Yesterday mornings session in the hearing opened with the testimony of two witnesses for the state in rebuttal. Airs. Katherine Wilson, 531 East Lyn- wood street. was questioned by l.. NJ. I-aney. county attorney, in regard to an alleged statement made to her on Nov l& by Mrs. Minnie Wolf concerning the death of MT. Check in front of her home. Mrs. Wilson said Mrs. Wolf came over and informed her of the death of Mir. Check on the night be- fore. C. F. Wilson told of hearing the conversation between Mrs. Wolf and his wife.
 After NIT. Laney had made the states opening statement, Charles Ward Of defense counsel stated that he did not care to argue the case and Mir 1aney then said he would close his ar Eilment. Justice Wheeler told Mir Ward that he would like to hear from him and Mir. Ward then presented his argument.
 Neishbors We're Witnesses
 The charges preferred against the Checks were made in connection witf the death of Thomas J. Check, IT. vcar-old father of Victor Check, three weeks ago today. The elder Checl died the evening of Nov 13 in a motor car enroute from the home of Mrs Minnie Wolf, 544 East Lynwood street to the Check apartment at S4S Nortf Fifth avenue. Three days later a cor orer's jury returned verdict charging Victor and Belle Check with being TO spcnsible for his death by brutal ane inhuman treatment" Charges of mur. der were then filed against the Checks
 The preliminary hearing began week ago yesterday. Most of thu states witnesses were neighbors of th' Check family in an apartment house kfr N-o~+h Fifth avenue, who testified to hearing the sound of blows in th' tAeea apartment. Friends of tn Checks. however, testified that the! had never seen the elder Check treate' roughly or unkindly by his son an daughter n-law. Physicians who ha' examined the body testified the eide Cheek had died of embolism (bloo' tlotl, which is caused by hardening 0 Inc arteries. and that they had seel no signs of bad treatment on his body
 AIr and Mrs. Check had little t say yesterday after the decision whic cleared them of the charges, and de ,lined to make any statements. It wa said by friend they would leave Sun day for Topeka, Kan.
