SEES STABILITY
IN FOOD MARKET
John H. wilkins Tells Res
taurateuers Period of De-
preston has Passed.

Early stabilization of the local
night by John H. wilkins, prominent
local wholesaler, in an address be-
fore the Washington Restaurant AS
sociation in the Garden Tea House,
1914 Vermont avenue.
Business is good: bear that in
mind" said wilkins. We have
gone through a period of depression
just now, and for a while you and
1 were tempted to go out of busi-
ness, for We knew that what we
bought today at one price could be
bought cheaper tomorrow. This con-
dition is rapidly passing away
wilkins said that sugar mad
reached the bottom of the general
price decline and was starting up
ward. He promised, however. that
the increase would be very slight
and said the price of sugar per
pound would not go beyond Slz
cents at the most. He accounted
for the increase by the unsettled
financial condition in Cuba, which
supplies the United States with most
of its sugar.
This very same principle applies
to other food commodities as well"
wilkins told the restaurateurs.
There is plenty of everything at
present and everything is due to
stop sliding in price very soon.
Remember this also, the business
house which does not fall in line
with the decline in food prices will
find itself a failure. People gener-
ally are wise now. The war gave
them a business education. They
know values"
Albert Schulteis. president of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce,

How Sim Fein Coup Oper-

pOndent.
BY c. II. BRETHERTON.
Especial Gable Dispatch to
The Washington Hsrald.)

DUBLIN, Feb. 15.-Dublin Castle
crowned it's long career of i'm
becility last night by allowing the
escape from Kilmainham Jail OF
Frank feeling, caught red-handed
and condemned to death for the
murder of Lieut.. Angliss in Mount
street, Dublin, on November %.
feeling was to have been hanged
yesterday morning, but in some
papers failed to arrive and the ex-
ecution did not take place. Kill
mainham jail, where feeling was
confined, is stated entirely by the
military, the duty there being at
present in the hands of a Welsh
regiment. A few days ago two SOL
diers on duty at Kilmainham were
kidnapped by Sim Feiners, and il
was undoubtedly their uniforms
that the escaped men departed in.
Last night about a quarter to
nine when the guard was changed
at the prison, one soldier warder
stayed behind and before the new
guard came on the scene released
feeling, Stewart and Donnelly from
their cells, they presumably having
! slipped on the British uniforms in
readiness for the getaway, and the
four of them went downstairs, pass
ing through the new guard unchal-
lenged and made their way to a gate
in the prison yard which had not
| been used for many years. They
passed through this gate, which had
, probably been opened beforehand,
! and made their way across country
|, to the Lucan road where they were
picked up by Michael Collins and
Richard MulCahy, leaders of the
Irish army, who were waiting for
| them in a motor car.
When the new guard went up
stairs to their duty they found the
| cell doors open and the birds flown.
/ To say that Dutlin Castle is dis
| gusted at being the victim of this
| daring and successful coup is to
| put it mildly. Everyone in Kilmain-
| ham from the commandant down
ward is under arrest and there will
be a great row.
As an advertisement of Sim Fein
| intelligence and British stupidity
the case is without parallel in Irish
| history.

The Senate judiciary Committee
yesterday took steps to stop Secre-
tary of the Treasury Houston from
making any further loans to for
eign governments pending final ac-
tlon on the resolution of Senator
Reed of Missouri, permanently pro-
hibiting the paying out OF any
money to other nations.
The committee formally notified
the Secretary to make no further
loans on unexpended war credits un-
til the committee has completed It's
investigation of the authority he
claims for carrying out his an
nounced plan to lend many more
millions and makes its report TO the
Senate.
Motion From Reed.
The motion to make this demand
upon Houston was offered by Sena
tor Reed when the committee re-
ceived word from the Secretary that
he would be unable to appear before
.the committee yesterday, as re-
quested, because he had not had suf-
ficient time to assemble all his pa
pers on the subject. The Secretary
was ordered yesterday to furnish
documentary proof" that he Is
honor bound" to pay out further
millions to foreign powers.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. Is
The permanent policy Of the incom-
ing Republican administration with
regard TO the repayment TO the
United States Of the allied debt of
more than $4,000. 100000 will be set
forth by President Harding in his
first address to Congress early in
April.
The President-elect stated hsuy
today that he would make no men
tion of this momentous question in
his inaugural address. which is to
be confined strictly to domestic mat
tiers.
The whole question Of allied in
debtedness was gone over by Mr..
Harding today in a conference with
Thomas W. Lamont. junior partner
of the firm of J. Pierpont Morgan
and Company. Mr.. Lamont is fire.
Quently described as the unofficial
agent Of the British government in
this country and during the Peace
Conference in Paris, was financial
representative with the American
commission.
Defends Wilson'S stand
That President Wilson had made
( no agreement, secret or otherwise
with any of the allied governments
providing for cancellation or partial
cancellation OF the Indebtedness, tC
| the United States. was the sub.
stance of a statement issued by La
mont following his meeting with
Senator Harding.

his view is both sane and reassur-

ability as a fnanCier. but l must
say that many of his suggestions
were very practical and showed the
result of careful, cool and friendly
analysis.

FOUR BILLS IN DAY

All daily records for Presidential

four bills back to Congress with
messages of disapproval.
The House gasped in amazement
as the clerk read the four messages.
All affected minor bills. One was
to amend the present Indian laws
and the others were private bills
