CONSIDERING THE CONDITIONS
PREVAILING SALE WAS CON-.
slDERED SATISFACTORY.
LARGE CROWD IN ATTENDANCE
Bidding Spirited and Sales Quickly
Made Despite the Rather Low
Prices That Prevaied-Hishest OF

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald)
Considering the condition of the
country and the circumstances under
which the sale was held prices receiv-
ed for the offerings of Duroc Jersey
registered hogs by ]. B. Farmer and
James r. Williamson at their. annual
auction sale at Wilkes Place on Tues
day were considered highly satisfac-
tory. Sixty head sold at an average
OF little more than fifty dollars a
head, the sale aggregating $3,124.50.
The highest priced SOW sold brought
$l97. She was four year old SOW
Orion Willetta F.. The second high
eset price paid was for the SOW Prin-
eessaWilletta f and she brought 500.
The bred sows sold for very much
better prices than the gifts. The lat
ter were great bargains, many ofsthefi
selling for hardly more than pork
prices.
1t was one of the greatest offerings
ever made by these two experienced
breeders. They lad the hogs in prime
condition and the crowdsMas one OF
the largest that has ever attended one
of the sales. The folks INere largely
from Maury. county, and4rfiany of the
hogs will remain in the county. but
there were number of bidders from
| Williamson, Marshall and Warren
counties and Secretary Cooper, Of the
State Beef Cattle Association, had a
commission to buy number of head
for breeders in Virginia which he ex-
ecuted. DR.. Fits, the big Sumner
county breeder, purchased the high
est priced hog at the sale.
When James r. Williamson raped
for order the big sales barn was crowd
ed to the limit. Mr. Williamson ad-
dresstd the audience briefly telling
them of the shortage of hogs and the
prospects for the hog growers and hog
feeders.
He introduced ]. T., Finney, editor
of The Herald, as one who was always
ready to use his paper for the advance
ment and boosting of the best inter
tests of the county and for, the promo,
ton of the good III agriculture. Mr..
Finney appealed to his hearers to face
the future With courage and optimism.
The auction was then on and Col.
| Iglehardt performed in the capacity
of auctioneer in his usual inimitable
manner. In the ring he was ably as
sisted by Col. James N. McCord, of
Lewisburg, The biddings was spirit
ed despite the rather low average and
there were few dull moments in the
sale. 4
But one boar was sold and that was
a ten months old pig that weighed $50
pounds and sold for $40 He was one
of the most beautiful young hogs ever
shown in this section

ARRESTS ARE FEWER
IN SHOPPING ZONE.
Uptown Stores Less Bothered
by PickpOckets Than in
Former Seasons.

Uptown department stores reported
yesterday sharp decline in the number
of arrests for shoplifting. bag opening
and pocket picking so far this year as
compared with last. One large store.
where general conditions are reflected,
reported a falling off of at least 80 per
cent in this class of arrests. and 1t was
said this was typical of conditions in
other great institutions, such as hotels,
railroad terminals and restaurants in the
uptown district.
The reason for the improved condi-
tions is ascribed to the cooperation -x-
ercised between the Stores Mutual Pro-
tective Association and what is now
known as the merchants squad of the
Police Department The merchants
squad. created two years ago by the
Police Department has grown to a force
OF forty expert and experienced detec-
tives. headed by Detective Sergeant
James Brennan 1t was originally 4
years ago, when dead line was thrown
around the uptown business section be-
tween Eighth and Fifty-ninth streets

ALIBIS GATHERED
BY MRS. STILLMAN
Fred Beauvais, Who Will Go
on Stand, Is Rounding Up
witnesses in Canada.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
MONTREAL, Dec. 3.--The substance of
tie new evidence to be presented at the
Canadian hearings in the Stillman suit
was revealed here to-day. With 1t
comes a Transformation of the human
aspect of the case. Now the setting
will be almost entirely the forests of
Grand Anse and the figures the pic
turesque woodsmen of the North and
river pilots.
Mrs. Stillman probably will attend
the hearings, although 1t has been re-
ported that her friends have advised her
against attending. These reports have
it that statements made by Mrs. Still
man have been misinterpreted as sights
upon French Canadians, and 1t is feared
her presence would interfere with the
progress of her witnesses.
Fred Beauvais of Grand Anse, man
of many callines has rounded up these
witnesses and he himself will testify.
He made q recent trip to Grand Anse
and gathered photographs and affidavits
for the defence.
Fred's new witnesses will be called
upon to refute the stories OF two men
who said that through keyhole and
from a ladder they saw Mrs. Stillman
and Beauvais together. Beauvais has
obtained a witness who. it is said, will
testify that at the time the Stillman
lodge was locked UP and Mrs. Stillman
was away.
witnesses, too, will contradict the
story Of Ferdinand Paige that Beauvais
told him that he and Mrs. Stillman
were staying in an empty club house at
Lake Wyagamaca in December, 1916.
Beauvais is said to have witnesses who
will swear Mrs. Stillman stayed at the
main club building at the time and that
the clubhouse referred to was occupied
then. River men will testify on trips
made by Mrs. Stillman up and down the
st. Maurice River. They have records
of the dates of these trips, which, ac-
cording to certain information. contra
dict various tales of witnesses for the
other side.
All these witnesses will come to the

|. G. C. ALLOWS FARM
PRODUCTS RATE CUT
Restrictions Lifted to Hasten
10 Per Cent. Freight
Reduction.

WASHINGTON, Dec. voluntary rail-
road proposals for Inauguration of a
10 per cent. decrease in freight rates
on practically all farm. range and or
chard products in the United states, out
side of New England, Were accepted to-
day by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Orders were issued allowing the rail-
roads to disregard all usual restrictions
in making up the new rate schedules, as
well as such violations of the long and
short haul clause of the Interstate Com
merce act as might be brought about
by percentage reductions. The orders
also permit the rates to be put m'o
effect on one days notice, ION as early
a date and in as inexpensive a manner
as possible" for a six month expert
mental period.
At the same time the commission left
standing its order of October ~ re-
curing an approximate 16h per cent.
rate decrease on grain. grain products
and hay throughout the entire trans
Mississippi district, which the railroads
were later instructed to put into erect
by December 81.
The railroad executives in applying to
the commission last week suggested that
the general 10 per cent decrease on agri-
cultural products which they contem-
plated should apply to the western
grains and hay as well as to the other
commodities and become a substitute for
the 161h per cent. No mention OF this
point in the railroad procedure was
made by the commission to-day, except
that grsin, grain products and hay in
Western territory were omitted from the
rermissory orders accepting the general
decrease
Reductions in New England territory
where the financial status of carriers Is
held not to justify a full 10 per cent.
decrease were also contemplated in the
voluntary application last week, and in
the commissions orders to-day the roads
concerned were given permission to
make such decreases as they found pos
sible, effective after five day notice
period"
While the commission swept away all
administrative barriers TO the 10 per
cent decrease. it was pointed out that
further steps would have to be taken by
the railroad arrangements before the
lower rate basis actually comes into ef-
feet. The commissions failure to con-
slider the 10 per cent decrease on grains
and hay as a substitute for the greater
reduction il previously had ordered, it
was said might bring about proceedings
and conferences.
At the same time, ;ne commission S
investigation into the reasonableness of
the general level of transportation rates
in the United States will begin next
week. and If the railroads are disposed
to withdraw their voluntary offer the
tariffs on the agricultural products may
be left to adjudication in that proceed
ing.

Appointment Will Become Ef-
fectiUe January I.

John II. Delaney will be Dock Com
missioner, succeeding Murray Hubert,
after January /, according to an an
rouncement made by Mayor Hylan yes
terday. 1t had been known for some
time he could have the place if he would

sponsible for the success Of the Hylan
campaign as any man. He worked for
nearly a year organizing the Hylan
League: and, with the backing Of Charles
L. Murphy. practically ran the campaign
as head of the board of strategy.
Formerly a printer, Mr. Delaney was
Commissioner of Efficiency and Economy

then entered the glassware business.
Gov. Smith made him head Of the Transit
Construction Commission, which was
legislated OUT of office last winter.
Mr. Delaney is member of John Fl.
McCooey's organization in Brooklyn, but
is considered to be as close to Mr.. Muir
ply as any member Of TamnIany Hall.

of Which 3.10O Were Found
10 BE Unnecessary.

Care Of persons injured in the streets
and other cases where prompt ambu-
lance service is imperative is involved
in the United Hospital Fund campaign
William Fellowes Morgan, president OF
the Merchants Association and chair
man of the executive committee of the
fund, said yesterday. For lack of
money some Of the hospitals have had
to drop ambulance service in answering
emergency calls The maintenance Of
enbulances in all of the hospitals. pub
lie and private. is endangered because
of other expenses, it was shown.
Mr. Morgan said there are 109 anbu-
lances in the city in public emergency
service. Most of them belong to private
hospitals. In Manhattan and The Bronx
live public hospitals maintain nineteen
ambulances and eight private hospitals
twenty-eight: in Brooklyn five public
hospitals have nine and fourteen private
hospitals have twenty-eight.
In Queens and Richmond the sole am
bulance service is that of private hos
pitfalls. There are twelve ambulances OF
the six private hospitals in Queens and
in Richmond two private hospitals main
tain six ambulances.
Last years record of ambulance
service, according to figures prepared
by the secretary of the Academy of
Medicine show that ambulances OF the
CITY responded to 109395 calls. of which
s. 100 were unnecessary. and In 5'o5S
cases the victims were dead on arrival
of the ambulance. In 44,559 cases the
ambulances took the victims to their
own hospitals, in 1884 cases the injured
were treated on the spot, and in ll,s55
cases the victims were taken TO some
other hospital than that to which the
ambulance was attached. In 5'zVo
cases patients were sent home.
THE ambulance service in New York
and Brooklyn is in critical condl-
ton" said Mr. Morgan. The ambu-
lances represent a part of the public
service rendered by a number OF the
general non-municipal hospitals. Some
of the hospitals have been obliged to
drop this service. Others, facing big
deficits In their finances for this year.
will be obliged to abandon it unless
funds are obtained at once to insure
the work being carried on.
should our hospitals, through indif-
ference on the part of the public, be
impelled TO eliminate their public am
bulance service it would result in in
conceivable hardship to the entire city
