Fatter, Cheaper Turkeys
Promised for Christmas
THE Christmas turkey is going

THE Christmas turkey is going
to be fatter, better and
cheaper, unless all predic-
dictions of market experts fail.
For one thing, the holiday birds
were not ready for Thanksgiving
carving, so many that might then
have adorned the festal board We're
reserved for the December celebra-
ton.
The high prices asked at Thanks
giving time caused a drop in buy
ing, according to the New Jersey
Bureau of Markets. and turkey
raisers decided that they would
hold their prizes and continue to
fatten them for Christmas. Now
they must be sold and the price
will depend largely upon the de-
mand. Both producers and dealers
look for "a reduction from the
Thanksgiving prices, when the
best turkeys brought rs cents
pound retail and the next grades
65. so and so cents.
New Jersey will have limited
quantity OF home grown, fresh
killed turkeys, which will have a
big demand The West and the
South will also send their quotas
TO the metropolitan market, SO
that altogether the city may look
for a bountiful supply not only of
turkey but OF all other poultry.

GHOST SHIP WARNED
LAKE TUG OF DOOM
Seen Twice From Craft That
Met With Disaster.

SAJur STE. MARIE, Mich, Dec. 20
A phantom ship. bearing the outlines OF
the tug Reliance and riding rapidly over
the waters Of Lake Superior. was re-
called here to-day by survivors OF the
Reliance wreck last week as warning
that the tiny vessel was soon to find a
place on the bottom of Superior, known
to vessel men as the graveyard OK the
lakes.
Twice the phantom appeared. lt
crossed the bow OF the Reliance just be-
fore, eundown on calm day last August.
Under similar conditions it was sighted
late in October.
One Of the victims of last weeks dis
aster, Capt John MCPHERSON, saw the
ghost ship each time and thereafter ap-
peared worried over bis fortunes at sea,
Others who vouch for the appearance or
the phantom are Mrs. Mcpherson and
Mrs. Charles Miron, wife of the Gargan-
tua harbor light keeper. The wrath
also was sighted from shore.
Witnesses at first thought the strangs
vessel was the ghost of the steamer
Hampton, a Government craft that sank
on her maiden voyage last spring with
twenty-five men, but later agreed thai
it bore a closer resemblance to the Ill
fated Reliance.

covery of $3601,715 growing out of
alleged overpayment Of war claims.
Assistant Attorney General Seymour
announced that suit for the recovery of
this amount soon was to be fled and
Col. Guy D. Goff former Assistant At
torney- General who has had charge of
the case. denied the charge of unneces-
sary delay.
Most of the remaining time Of the
hearing was taken up with an inquiry
into the building trade cases growing
out of. the Lockwood committee investi-
cation in New York. Col William
Hayward. Federal attorney at New
York. went into details concerning the
cases.
Questioned about the release of the
schooner j. B. Young, seized at New
York for an alleged violation Of the pro-
hibition laws. Col. Hayward said the
order stopping the seizing of liquor

such vessels had established contact
with the shore by means of their own
boats or crews was issued after in
sistent demand by Secretary Hughes.

NEW IMPERIAL WIZARD
VISITS THE CAPITOL
Washington Scoffs at Dry En-
forcement by klan.
Special Dispatch 10 THE Nrw York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 90.

New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. O., Dec. 20.
Ku Klux Klan sympathizers in Con-
gress had opportunity to-day to gaze
upon the new Imperial Wizard, DIR. H..
w. Evans. who conferred with friends
at the Capitol and the Senate and
House office buildings, but did not say
why.
Klan leaders are worried over the
growing resentment manifested against
the invisible empire since the last cleo
tion. They are trying to counteract
acts made on them in Kansas, Missouri
and other places. Their talk OF taking
the lead in the enforcement of prohibi-
ton laws is not well received by Treas
ury officials, who resent the intimation
that an outside force of masked men
is able to do more than regularly con-
stituted officers OF the law.
Acknowledgement Daugherty thinks
the plans of the Khan to enforce pro-
hibition are largely bunk"
The Imperial Wizard, his staff and
body guard are still at the Willard
Hotel holding conferences. Dr.. Evans
has been in the limelight here more
than he expected to be and to-day shut
off all talk for publication.
