NEW YORK MAY GET .
5-CENTBREAD AGAIN
Big Bakers Frightened By
State Probe,, and- Small
Competitors' Fight.
NEW YORK, Feb. .-Unless the
Price of wheat continues to advance ma
terially, New York will probably return
In a few days to thi old standard
bread prices. Rumors are current that
l he big bakeries rwhlch recently ad
vanced the wholesale price of bread
from 1 to 5 cents, thus forcing, or at
least endeavoring to force, the retail
price to fi cents, are contemplating again
living the wholesale price at 4 cents.
The reasons advanced tor the relin
quishment of the scheme to force higher
broad prices are two-told. In the llrst
place the inquiries Inaugurated by 'tho
various legal authorities disturbed the
big bakers.
Small Bakers Fight.
The most potent factor, however. Is
said to live besn the fact that many
of the smaller bakcrlss throughout tho
city, Instead of advancing their prices,
maintained their old ligurcs and set
tortl) to light tor the trade that the
larger establishments had former;? en
joyed. TheVrst report of a return to old
prices 'iKas received by one of the in
KpcctoriPof J. J. Hartlgan, commission
er of weights and measures. The in
spector was told by a grocer that a
driver lor ths Shultr. Bread Compan
had said that his company expected to
abolish the 5-cent wholesale price and
lutnlsh customers for 4 cents a loat,
At tho State's Inquiry yesterday
Deputy Attorney General Becker de
veloped an interesting situation when he
called to the stand George Hoernle, man
ager of tho Ward Baking Company's
plant In the Bronx, and Arthur Gibson,
Ald to be Hoernlc's assistant. Hoernle
flatly refused to waive Immunity from
criminal prosecution. Mr. Becker ex
cused both men, saying that he didn't
care to give Immunity.
Mr. Becker hoped to show by these
men that Jefferson Lasher, the Ward
driver, whose recent testimony that he
had been directed to tell dealers the
price at which they must retail bread,
had received orders to get the price
raised.
Was "Excited."
Lasher was on the stand again yester
day, and declared flatly that he hadn't
said that the drivers were directed to
tell tho dealers the retail price. When
the testimony was read to him he said
that he must have been "excited" and
"confused." To other questions his an
swer was "I can't recall."
Mr. Becker hail been Informed that
l.asher, when brought before the dis
trict attorney, had repudiated his for
mer testimony. As Lasher was under
oath when he iave the testimony at
the earlv hearings of the Inquiry, Mr.
Hccker got into touch with Assistant
IMstrlct Attorney De Ford durlnir the
recess hour yesterday, and later sent J
141m u. iiuiicniu 01 i.asiier s testi
mony. He Aid not know, he told re
porters, whcthei he would have anv
fg to do with the question of de
inlng the advisability of criminal
editions,
other Important point brought
yesterday was that Mr. Becker is
jrtei mined to have an analysis made
. the doughs used by some the tho
I Ig hakin? companies in order to de
termine whether the proper Ingred
ients were' being used.
While James H. Arthur, secretary of
the Ward Baking Company, wag on
the stand ho was asked this question:
Is It not true that a man represent
ing a State department went to your
Plant yesterday and asked you to give
him satriples of the dough, and that ho
was refused the samples?"
"Yes," said Mr. Arthur; "that Is
into. '
"Are you willing to let him have the
"ample now?"
"We are willing to If we must." re
Piled the witness.
Will Insist On Samples.
Secretary Fitzgerald of the State com
mittee on foods and markets said that
the law made It mandatory for the com
pany to give the samples, and that he
would make an immediate demand upon
the llrm.
Mr. BccKcr said -one Important fact he
established was that, despite the In
crease In price, the baking companies,
by statements submitted, showed that
they were still using flour purchased
months ago at around $5.50 a barrel.
Another important bit ot Information
li ought out was the fact that the
.Shults rompany made a considerably
larger profit in January this year than
the average proltt for January, 1914
Alfred Homer, of Ihe Shults company
testified that there hud been no agree
ment between the big companies to
lalse the ptlce ot bread. Tho Shults
company, he said, had taken the bull
by the horns, and made the announce
ment that the inereaso would go into
force on February 1ft. The other big
companies, ho said, followed like sheep
after the leader.
The inquiry was adjourned until to
morrow morning at 11 o'clock, when
Joseph Letter will testify.
The grand Jury continued Its Investl

"Day
for day the present war has
about reached the length of that ot
1870." said Premier Vlvlani. "But wnai
a difference In France's situation! The
first three months of the war of 1870 saw
our armies at Sedan and Metz prisoners,
another army .at Paris Invested In all
over 400,000 men!
"The world believed France crushed.
Hut ten years after the war, at the Uni
versal Exposition, she showed the world
the spectacle of a reborn country.
France faced her problems squarely, re
solved to solve her most arduous inte
rior political questions. She retained
her Ideals of fraternity and liberty. She
applied them to her social laws. She
guaranteed her Independence both by
obligatory military service and by Inter
national alliances and ententes which
German diplomatic duplicity often tried
without success to undo.
"Then came this war which Germany
craftily prepared, then unchained.
Offers of Peace.
"If Germany really loved peace, she
might havo had it simply by accepting
pourparlers at London on July 29, or
two days later by accepting the Czar's
call to The Hague Tribunal; or, on July
31, Great Britain's call to suspend mili
tary preparations in view of negotiations
at London. France and Russia adhered
to all these paclllc attempts, but tier
many declared war. She had been
mobilizing for ten days.
"Germany has sadly miscalculated.
She realises It now. Without speaking
of countries other than my own, Ger
many expected discords and dissensions.
What she ran against was an Immov
able block without factions, without
divergencies. Every son of France took
up arms rich, poor. Socialists, Con
servatives, Free Thinkers, and Catho
lics alike.
"Today France's policy continues to
be- what in the name of the government
It was Btated to be on December 21:
War without mercy.' We are unani
mous on this point. We are unanimous
In decarln that we will not accept any
but a victorious peace for all the allies.
The united pact of September 4 has
our signature, and for us, a treaty is
not a scrap of paper. Our armies are
Intact. They have checked the German
torrent. . .,,.,..
"What was Germany's first objective

she tried Dunkirk, and then Calais.
She left 200.000 cadavers, on the Yser.
but she did not pass. Xne same thing
happened at Nancy and at Verdun. Ger
many was thrown aside. Her military
power Is hard hit.
Her Rout Complete.
"Economlcallv she Is ruined. An Im
placable blockade Is drawing tighter and
tighter about her. Despite all pre
cautions she has taken to conceal the
truth. I can assure you that her finan
cial and economic rout Is complete. If
her cities which tourists vslt retain
the appearance of prosperity. It Is to
the detriment of the country districts,
which are being famished In order to
put up appearances before the outside

"France's economic and financial sit

expenses Imposed by the war. We lack

the bitter end. Let there be no doubt
about that. For our children, we wish to

"There are colleges and colleges." he
said. "I have spent tho greater part of
my life doing what Is called teaching,
but most of the pupils of most of our

taught. I remember being somewhat
comfoited and reassured some yeart
ago, after I had taught for ten or fif

had taught for twenty years, that he
had found that the human mind had

Practical Prescription
Against Stomach Acidity
Nlne-tenths of all cases of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too
much acid. In the beginning the stom
ach Itself Is not diseased, but If this
acid condition Is allowed to continue,
the acid Is very HksV to eat Into the
stomach walls and produce stomach ul
cers, wh'eh may render a radical surgi
cal operation necessary even to prolong
life. Therefore, an "acid stomach" la
eally a dangerous condition, and should
be treated seriously. It is utterly use
leHs to take pepsin and ordinary stom
ach tablets. Tho excess acid or stomach
hyperarldltv must bo neutralized by the
administration of an efficient antacid.
For this purnpse the best remedy Is
blsurated magnesia taken In teaspoon
ful doses in a fourth of a glass of wa
ter after each meal. larger quantities
mav be used If necessary, as It Is abso
lutely harmless. Be sure to ask your
drugclst for the b'surated magnesia
as other forms of magneMa make ef
fective mouth washes, but they have
not the same action on the stomach as
the blsurated. Advt.

CITIZEN
WILSON
HIGH
SOCIETY
SAYS ROCK ISLAND
REPORTS ARE FALSE
Accountant Declares Practically
Worthless Securities Were
Counted Huge Assets.
That the Chicago, nock Island and
Pacific llallroad Company reported to
Its stockholders as assets worth mil
lions, securities of subsldfarles which
generally are considered of little or no
value, was asserted today by Frederick
C. Sliarood, expert accountant, for the
commission, at the reopening of the In
quiry Into the railroad's finances by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Sliarood said that the Rock Island's
annual report to Its stockholders, dated
June 30, 1914, declared the corporation
had a surplus of 16,199,841. To obtain
this showing, Sharood said, the company
Included stock of the Trinity and Bra
zos valley railroad as worth $3,600,000,
whereas it really Is worthless because
the Trinity line has an 18,000.000 deficit
and hi operating at a loss of $1,000,000 a
year.
The Rock Island's holdings of bonds
of the Toledo, St. Louis and Western
were listed as worth (5,800,000, and bonds
of the Chicago and Alton as worth $398,
000. According to Sharood's testimony,
tho securities are worth only about
$1,000,000.
Securities of the Nebraska Central
railroad and of the Nebraska Central
Construction Company, held by the
Rock Island to the extent of $300,000, are
worthless, the witness asserted.
Joseph W. Folk, chief counsel for the
commission) then drew from the wit
ness the statement that should the Rock
Island's holdings be rated -at their true
value, no actual surplus would appear.
On June 3, .1901, Sharood said, tho
Rock Island had a surplus of $10,263,184,
and on June 30, 1904, a surplus of $22,
343,!S5, the latter being the largest sur
plus held by the company In recenl
years.
Government- Offers'Solution for
Misfortune Resulting From
German Invasion.
i
PARIS, Feb. ."5. Franco has just
taken up the most delicate task that
has et been Imposed on It In the
present war.
This Is the determination to extend
government aid to those French
women forced into motherhood by
German soldiers In the districts occu
pied by the enemy, and to offer every
possible help and protection to the
mothers and children soon to be born.
The government Is especially anx
ious to reduce the probability of any
form of Infanticide on the part of the
thousands of women, who In the next
few months, must become mothers as
a result of the German Invasion.
Several meetings of the cabinet have
perfecteil plans for taking care both
of the babies and the mothers, and
for seeing that th mother are re
lieved of a certain portion of Hie men

wise would altend the birth of the In
fants, but for notification in ample

that her actual existence was being
tnreateiied by tho decrease in her btrtn
rate, ,1 lurge number of laws have been
pass.-d for tho protection of women
about to give birth to children under
unfortunate circumstances.
in addition, a number of measures
hae Just been perfected. In the first
place the prospective mothers are to bo
given all needed medical help at the ex
pense of the state. They are to be
relieved of complying with existing
regulations which govern the birth of a
child, and the state is to relieve tho
mother at once of the case of the child,
and conceal every posslbjfe trace of the
origin of the child
The state also, will pledge Itself, In
addition to caring for the child, to main
tain records of Identity that will enable

To Put on Flesh
and Increase Weight
A Physician's Advice.
Most thin people eat from four to
six pounds of good solid fat-making
food every day and still do not In
crease In weight one ounce, while on
the other hand many of the plump,
chunky folks cat very lightly and
keep gaining all the time. It's all
bosh to say that this It the nature
of the individual. It isn't Nature's
way at all.
Thin folks stay thin because their
powers of assimilation are defective.
They absorb Just enough of the food
they eat to maintain life and a sem
blance of health and strength. Stuff
ing won't help them. A dozen meals
a day won't make them gain a single
"stay there" pound. All the fat-producing
elements of their food Just
stay In the Intestines until they pass
from the body as waste. What such
people need Is something that will
prepare these fatty food elements so
that their blood can absorb them and
deposit them all about the body
something, too, that will multiply
their red blood corpuscles and In
crease their blood's carrying power.
For such a condition I always
recommend eating a Hargol tablet
with every meal. Sargol Is not, as
some believe, a patented drug, but t
a scientific combination of six of the'
most effective and powerful flesh
building' elements known to chemis
try. It Is absolutely harmless, yet
wonderfully effective and a single
tablet eaten with each meal often has'
the effect of Increasing the weight
of a thin man or woman from three
to five pounds a week. Sargol Is sold
by .las. O'Donnell and other good
druggists everywjiere on a positive
guarantee of weighty increas or
money back. Advt.

Senate Alone Could Not Enact
Legislation, and President
Can Make Appointments.
Although there navo been suggestions
of a special session of the Senate after
March 4 for tho purpose of confirming
nominations and ratifying the Colombia
and Nicaragua treaties, Senate leaders
today doubted whether such a session
would be held. .
Such a session could not enact legisla
tion, and it would require a long sitting
DDfore it could dispose of the treaties.
It might be possible to confirm trade
commission appointments at suoh a ses

PENROSE PLEADS
Protests Against Dismissal of
Former Soldiers From Rolls
of Postoffice.
In the cource of the discussion of the
postofnee appropriation bill In the Sen
ate yesterday, Senator Penrose protest
ed against the removal of old soldiers
from the service of the Postoffice De
partment on the ground of superannua
tion. He referred to some of the re
movals In the Washington office and
read newspaper editorials to demon
strate that the old soldiers were being
unfairly dealt with.
Senator Penrose has lone urged a
system of pension and retirement for
the Government employes. Ho spoke
against removals for old age not only In
the Postoffice Department, but In the
Government service generally.
Senator Penrose said many of the
aged employes of the Postoffice De
partment had been remqved because of
"the penalty of getting old."
Senator Penrose In urging a pension
hd retirement system said:
"Mr. President, I deny that some such
provision as this is in any way in the
nature of a gratuity or a gift. I claim
that It can bo proven by figures to bo
not only in the Interest of Krcater ef
ficiency, but in the Intrest'of economy
in the administration of the Postoffice
Department. How does the Government
gain bv retaining on' tho pay rolls su
perannuated employes who are unable to
do any work, out whom no one has the
nrutautv or tne heart to discnurge and
render public charges on the commu
nity? Tho Government cannot gain toy
sucn a system as mat. wnereas, on ma
contrary, If the superannuated employe
could be retired at half pay or on any
other proper basis, and some active
young man or young woman, most like
ly on a salary lower than that which
the superannuated employe was receiv
ing, could be assigned to his work and
perform his dutv to the Government,
the Government certainly might be tho
gainer and clearly would not be much
the loser from a financial point of
view."

Has Evidence to Justify Re
trial of Ex-Policeman.
NEW YORK. Feb. 25. Anothel1
legal light to save former Police Lieut
Charles Becker, twice sentenced to the
chair at Sing Sing for the murder of

the ground of newly discovered evidence
for the defense. The hearing was b-
nwA Tn.dn. Xlu.fi rTkf R Vnlra In fh1
criminal branch of the supreme court.
As In all the other court sessions re
lating to Becker, Mrs. Becker was
present and displayed Keen Interest In
the procedlngs. She looked much
brighter and more chlerfdl today than
during the last harrowing days of her
husband's second trial.
In presenting the motion, Manton
said the application was made on the
ground that one of the State's witness
es, "testilled falsely to a matctial fact
at the second trial of Charles Becker."
District Attorney Perkins and an as
sistant occupied the counsel table, and
nfter Manton began speaking. Mrs.
Becker was offered a chair at the table.
Manton is basing his motion for a
new hearing on the alleged repudiation
by James Marshall, colored, of his tes
timony regarding tho Harlem conference.
