e e e e e RRTEATSY PORK PRICES DROP - ATD.C. MARKET Dealers Believe Hog Killing in Nearby States Affects Quotations Here. A decided slump in the matrket on pork loins resulted in greatly reduced prices. Dealers this morning quoted the fresh-killed product at from 19 to 22 cents, lowest prices that have pre- vailed in a long time, and it is ex- &cted that lower prices will increase e demand and result in an increased number of roast pork dinners for the Week end. Just what caused the slump was not fmade clear. It is possible, according to dealers, that hog killing in nearby Maryland and Virginia may have so; effect upon the market. Such killing: usually start earlier than weather con itions this season would permit, but e bulk of the killing usually does not come until about the Thanksgiving holi- day season. Other meat prices, with the exception bt veals, have been reduced the past few days, according to reports, veal being strong at 27 cents. A stron demand for fresh shoulders at 19 cents was reported this morning. Fresh-killed beef prices were cheaper today. Dealers and consumers are still ‘anxiously awaiting definite word of the prices that will prevail in the turkey market the coming week. It is stated that there are more turkeys in storage this year than usual, and should there be anything like a scarcity of fresh- killed stock, it is stated, the storage stock will come to the rescue. Trading this morning was reported fairly brisk, retailers being out early to get first pick of commodities, and ‘wholesalers were able to fill all demands. | b Poultry, fruits and vegetables were dis- played to a good advantage, cool weath- er mlklng such displays possible. Fruits from nearby and distant points were offered at prices dealers termed reasonable, and there were plentiful supplies of vegetables of all kinds to be had. Norfolk, Va., growers continued to send peas and several other varieties of green vegetables, gathering crops this season much later than usual. Presh eggs continue scarce and high, @and a continued firm condition of the ‘butter market was reported. There was the usual Friday morning demand for marine products, supplies being large enough to enable dealers to meet de- mands. “Today's Wholesale Prices—Jobbers’ Prices Slightly Higher.

Her husband, John Hlatky, charged with being an sccessory after | the fact, will go to trial later. Margaret, 12-year-old daughter of Mrs. Hlatky, testified against her moth- er, and told how she buried the bodies of the infants born this year in the | back yard of the Hlatky home.

HEARTBALH SUT WON BY 0L KiNG Former Cook, Who Claimed He Proposed Marriage, Asked $1,000,000. By the Associated Press. PANHANDLE, Tex., November 23— | A District Court jury early today held | that J. A. Whittenberg, 71, millionaire plainsman, had made no marriage con- tract with his former cook, Mrs. Donie Van Dever, who sought $1,000,000 heart balm. Mrs. Van Dever alleged the plains- man had jilted her after proposing in an Amarillo, Tex., hotel in 1926. Whittenberg, who became fabulously wealthy following the Borger, Tex., oil strike, denied the allegation, and testi- fied his relations with Mrs. Van Dever always were only those of employer to employe. A Mrs. Lehrer, witness for the de- fense, pictured Mrs. Van Dever as a scheming woman who had boasted she planned to trick Whittenberg into a proposal, and then was going to marry him or suc for breach of promise. Whittenberg, a former mail carrier, came to the Panhandle in 1893 and| proved up on four sections of land. By 1920 he had acquired 40 sections of land adjacent to Borger, scene of a rich oil strike. He estimated his wealth at $20,000,000 and said he owned 200 oil wells. His wife died in 1924.

Robert B. Tarr of Pontiac, Mich., | KAROLYT 1S AGAIN - BARRED FROM U.S. Civil Liberties Union Says Hungarian Applied for Visa in Paris. | By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 23.—The American Civil Liberties Union today announced that for a second time Count Michael Karolyl, first President of the Hungarian republic, has been refused a visa to enter the United States. Forrest Bailey, a director of the union, said the application for a visa was made in Paris and had been supported by a committee of prominent Liberals in this country, who sent a petition to Secretary of State Kellogg urging that the count and countess be given entry. Morris L. Ernst, Count Karolyl's at- torney, said the count had planned to make a lecture tour and look after some private litigation. The count was first refused a visa in 1925, but when his wife became seriously ill he was permitted entrance on condition that he would make no speeches on public questions. Count Karolyl and his wife have been outspoken oppoments of the Horthy regime in Hungary. Gen. Booth Has Restful Night. LONDON, November 23 (#).—Gen.
