Spuds and Sugar Sailing
Together, High, High, In
Air; Prices are Going Up

Sugar and "spuds" are in the same
airship' Both these necessities of
Life are selling for the highest prices
ever known here. Richmond whole
salers raised their prices and retailers
We're forced to ask 10 cents a pound,
Sc bhshel
Sugar is a scarce article. Few re-
tail groceries have a supply on hand,
but report they soon will be exhaust
ed. Richmond wholesalers say they
are offering any price to eastern Job
bers for sugar. The wholesalers also
announce that they will not be sur
prised if the retail prices advance to
35 cents pound within a month.
The high price of sugar is attributed
to the fact that the Michigan beet
sugar supply is exhausted, and only
cane sugar from Louisiana or Cuba is
to be had. Sugar brokers were forced
to pay high prices for the Cuban
product in order to outbid the French
and English buyers.
j. M. Eggemeyer, of the Bee Hive
grocery, says that the present price of
potatoes is the highest in the history
of the grocery trade. He firmly says
that there is no evidence of profiteer-
ing on the part of the wholesaler, but
that the supply has been greatly
diminished because of export A crop
considerably below normal was raised
last fall.

Hollarn on Trail Of the
Kids Who Are Carving
Trees in South 9TH Park

Ed Hollarn, city park superintend-
ent, announced Tuesday that he would
prosecute anybody found carving on
the trees or in any other way mutilat-
ing the grounds of the South Seventh
Street Park.
IF members of the South Side Inn
provement Society will report to me
the names of children who have been
destroying the park property I will
take the needed steps in their punish
ment," said Mr.. Hollarn regarding the
S. S. l. A. letter to the board of works
in response to which he was ordered
to investigate.
1T is very hard for me to find the
guilty ones, but the people who live
right down there ought to know what
children are doing the damage" said
the park superintendent.
Mr. Hollarn explained that the high
cost of living is responsible for gar
dens being planted on the vacant lots
formerly used for play grounds by the
children. This has, of course, caused
evacuation to whatever open space
could be found. The park has there
fore become q gathering place, and
has suffered accordingly. The children
can play there as long as they do not
destroy the property, however.

HoWAT DENOUNCES
GOVERNOR AS SKUNK

GIRARD, Kas., April 13.-Alexander
Howat, head of the Kansas coal min
ers' union, speaking by permission of
the sheriff of Crawford county, de-
nounced Governor Allen of Kansas as
skunk of a Governor" before a
crowd of several thousand persons,
mostly miners and their wives, gath
cred in front of the Jail here yester-
day. Howat is in Jail in contempt of
court for refusing to testify before
the state industrial court.
I'VE won't recognize this court, "
Howat said, referring to the court of
industrial relations before which he
refused to appear as witness. ut is
composed of three corporation law
yers appointed by that skunk of a
Governor, Allen"
Hdwat denounced over and over in
the most bitter terms he could COM
mand the Governor and the legisla-
ture which enacted the law.
Howat also paid his respects to
Judge Andrew J. Curran of the Craw-
ford County District court who SEN
fenced him to Jail for contempt.
Judge Curran had been referred to
in newspaper story as sturdy
American. "They talk about sturdy
American" Howat said. Sturdy
Americans who send men to Jail who
have committed no crime. The men
and the women are going to attend
to these sturdy Americans when they
get the opportunity"

Summers Here! Glen Is
To Open Soon---HcHarr

Summers abont at hand! Glen
Park is to open the season Officially
the first warm day, Park Superln-
tendent Hollarn has announced.
1t can't be any too soon for the
monkeys, which seem quite disposed
to come out into the bright, warm
sunshine, which, of course, is all a
tremendous joke, as Hollarn explains
to them, for the sun isn't warm and
one night would end them all.
Nevertheless, their debut is close
at hand unless all custom fails. for
the last of April always finds them in
summer quarters.
The elks will come out within a
few days probably. The buck elk,
which killed a doe last fall, is now
without horns, and while he is harm
less, precautions are to be taken for
OBTAINING him in an individual pen
when the vicious season" arrives.
Play ground apparatus and park
benches will be put up during the
week if the weather warns up Mr..

ment that my testimony would have
made absurd" He added that the
senator, as much as any one else, was
responsible for wiping out the Creel
committee on June so, 1919.
In his letter to Mr. Palmer, Mr..

Senator Smoot has filled the press
with the statement that the govern
ment should take action against me
for my proceedings in connection with
the Official Bulletin. | insist that your
office commence an instant investiga-
ton and put myself and every record
at your disposal
Il want to know from you also what
protection if any a citizen has against

of congress. Not only are Senator
Shoots charges false in every partic-
ular, but he knew them to be lies when
he uttered them.

F|REMEN SMOTHER 1 DOWNTOWN FIRE Choked Chimney In Busi- ness Section Scene Of
 Fast Work.

Quantities of smoke from a choked fire place on the third floor of the building occupied by Venable's restaurant. Twen- tieth street near Third avenue. drew most of the apparatus of the downtown division of the Birmingham fire depart ment yesterday afternoon about o'clock.
 In building of some age. located in the heart of the city, and believing there must be some fire where there was so much smoke, the firemen were taking no chances. Ladders went up. hose was un- coiled, and the scene of trouble was tfl shape for handling almost before the pig trucks had rolled to a stop.
 The men had little trouble in getting a line of chemicals to the spot and drench- ing the starting blaze, but they swaI- lowed lot of smoke in doing it. Their quick work was duplicate of the quenching of the pressing club fire in the same vicinity early in the morning sev- eral days ago.
 Twentieth street traffic was blocked for but few minutes yesterday, the paraphenalia being slowed almost as quickly as it was broken out in getting to the scene of action.
