PRICE Of TURKEYS
UNCERTAIN STILL
D. c. Merchants Find Market
Too Uncertain as Yet to
Hazard Guess.

What is the price Of a Thanks
giving turkey?
1t may sound like a simple ques-
tion. but try to find out. Diligent
inquiry Of numerous merchants in
Center Market yesterday resulted
only in the mysterious shaking Of
as many heads.
I'VE don't KNOW" they answered.
Come back Saturday"
Despite the reluctance of dealers
to fix a price on the head. or
rather on the pound, of the Thanks
giving fowl, numerous crates of
turkeys were in evidence in the
market. Several hundred crates of
the birds were received yesterday,
1t was said
Some merchants hazarded guess
ess, naming from 45 to 4S. cents
per pound wholesale. Dressed tur-
keys probably will be in the neigh.
borhood of SO cents, they said. Re-
tail prices, however, will be a few
cents higher. they warned.
Merchants lay the present condi.
ton of the market to the uncer.
tainty regarding supply. There are
plenty in the country, according
to reports. but SO far comparatively
few have been received here. For
some unknown reason, farmers say,
the birds are not fat, and they are
holding them back until Christmas
Yesterday was the first day. ac
cording to commission merchants
that has brought a large supply
1t is believed, however. that. from
now until Thanksgiving there will
be a larger number received each
day. The continued cool weather
it is thought, will preclude a repe
tition of last years catastrophe
occasioned by large quantities OF
dressed turkeys spelling before they
could be sold.

.ST0TT TO GO 10000
MILES FOR PRISONER
Third Time Inspector Has Been
Selected for Foreign
Assignment.

Lieut.. William G. Stott. night in
spector Of police. will leave this
afternoon on the first leg of the
longest trip ever undertaken by a
Washington policeman to bring back
a prisoner. On a jaunt covering
more than 10000 miles. Sott will re-
turn John Harry Cody. of New
York, from Lisbon. Portugal, to face
charges here of obtaining. money

ed with a Presidential warrant and
travels on a diplomatic passport.
A member Of the local force for
nineteen years, this Is the third
special assignment for which Stott
has been detailed by request of the
State Department. He was in Santo
Domingo for eight months during
1919 on special duty; he re-organized
the National Police Force of Hen
duras during 1921; and this detail
was assigned him partly because of
his good work on the other two and
partly because Of his proficiency in
Spanish, which is closely allied to
Portuguese.
Stott learned Spanish while in the
Marine Corps, in which he served
for five years, seeing action in the
Boxer uprising and with the Chinese
relief expedition. Stott will sail on
the steamship Majestic" tomorrow
for Cherbourg, France. The man
he is to bring back is alleged to have

FINANCE
- AND
|RUSINESS
N n O. FoRBKA

We were discussing liquor.
There were two or three
bankers, two or three business
men, including one or two i'm
portant shipping men.
Said one of the bankers: 81
filled up my cellar just before
prohibition came IN. At first
! vs. quite proud Of my stock.
I took pride in serving drinks
when my friends came to see
me. Two or three times, too,
i put a flask in my pocket
when going out with friends
Tor a social evening.
"But, do you know, I have
gradually come to feel entirely
different about the whole busi-
ness. l would never think
now of carrying a flask. And
i don't take any pride any
more in having a well-filled
cellar. The truth is that /
know I would be happier were
there not q bottle of liquor
left in my house, except per-
haps a little brandy or whiskey
for use in case of sickness.
81 just can't feel that there's
anything to be- proud about in
handing out liquor when 1 re-
fleet that good citizenship calls
for strict enforcement of the
law"
Another man spoke in almost
the same strain, but he went a
little further. He said that
while it was good business for
him to do more or less enter
tanning at home as we'll as in
restaurants and at his golf
clubs, he has practically
stopped serving drinks to any
of his guests. For quite a
while he felt it was Z the
Sporty" thing to do, and there
was always more or less jok-
ing about prohibition. But now
he couldn't but question the
propriety of breaking the pro-
hibition law in any way what
soever.
One of the shipping men
stated that he had given most
emphatic orders not to break
the prohibition law in the slight
est degree, and had issued a
warning that any employe, no
matter how important or unim-
portant, who disobeyed these
orders would be instantly dis
missed. He admitted that some
Of them couldn't believe that he
was really serious in wanting
such orders rigidly carried out.
Also, some of the government
officers having to do with the
arrival of ships and who had
been accustomed to looking for
. drink and an occasional bottle,
were at first a little peeved
when they found they couldn't
get a drop; but, he added, they
had become accustomed to the
new order of things.
He told US something which
one of US knew before, namely,
that on the best-run steamship
lines the rule always had been
that the bartender lost his job
If he allowed any passenger to
become drunk. Also, that on
such ships it was up to the bar
tender to close the bar when
ever he felt that further drink
ing might lead to unpleasant
consequences.
I told them that the las:
time / visited an after-the-
theater restaurant, was struck
by the fact that the people who
