Kirkham in police court this morn- ing on a charge of breach of the peace preferred against her by her husband, who claimed that she came home late last night and in a tirade of anger kicked in the door and broke five panes of glass. Although the woman admitted having had a couple of drinks at a neighbor's she denied the charge of breach of the peace and made a counter charge against her husband in which she ac- cused him of locking her out of her home while he entertaimed another female in the person of one Mary Brown, said to be a notorious char- acter. Mrs. Roskofski said that her husband has oftimes twitted her about Mary.

Motorists in Court. Louis Maxim, a cattle dealer, was charged on two counts with violating the motor vehicle law. Officer Axel Carlson who arrested him yesterday at the corner of Main and Church streets, testified that he not only dis- régarded his signal to stop, but also was driving his automobile without a license. Maxim said he had forgot- ten his license and explained that he did not stop when ordered to do so because. his car would not stop when he wanted it to. A fine of $2 and costs for driving without a license was imposed, and an additional fine of $10 and costs was imposed for failing to stop when ordered to do so by a policeman. Edgar G. Addy, a motorcyclist, was arrested by Officer M. Meehan this morning at 8 o’clock charged with operating a motor vehicle without proper license plates. The accused admitted the charge and said that he has been driving his motorcycle since January 1 with only ecardboard mark- ers. He explained that his license plates were never recelved as he thought it would be all right to make some of his own. He was fined $7 and costs. Other Cases on Docket. ‘Walter Karpenski, 16 years was arrested by Officer Liebler in Walnut Hill park last night -n a breach of the peace charge.

J., Sept. 1.—An in- dustry that was old in Warren coun- ty when the troops were marching out to the Civil war came to an end here last night when the last distilla- tion of apple jack more often called “Jersey lightning,” was made in the old distillery at Jacksonburg. The distillerz has been operated for more than 50 years and many famous men visited it. The Jacksonburg plant was a large one and its output numbered hun- dreds of barrels yearly. The distil- lery closed because of the law against distillation of spirits which soon goes be on hand at this time. into effect.

Door to Argument Not Closed. The Hague, Bept. 1.—The Roman Catholic Maasbode of Rotterdam thinks that President Wilson’s an- swer to the Papal note, examined from a practical angle, warrants the conclusion that the door to peace is neither barred nor bolted ‘““for con- trary to logical reasoning from his premises,” it says, ‘“President Wil- son does not want the war carried to a bitter end, nor would, he refuse to deal with the present German gov- ernment, but only if it truly repre- sented the will of the nation as e: pressed by genuine parliamentariza- tion.” The Maasbode sees a gradual de- velopment of conditions in Germany on the lines President Wilson desires. Why then, it asks, could not the pres- ident have declared himself in prin- ciple with the Pope? Pope Touched by Nobility of Reply. Rome, Aug. 20 (delayed).—Count De Salis, the British miulster at the Vatican, who presented President Wilson's reply to the Pope received the impression that the Pope, although disappolnted at the presi- dent’s refusal to undertake negotia- tions on the lines laid down in the Papal note, was touched by the no- bility and dignity of the president’s reply and courtesy toward him per- sonally. The Holy Father, he added, also felt grieved at the unpitying condemnation of Germany's perfidy. Others May Not Reply. Washington, Sept. 1. any of the European powers to reply to the Pope’'s appeal for peace has strengthened a growing impression at the state department that there is nothing in the note from the Vatican that actually called for a reply. Amenities may be regarded as satis. fled by the acknowledgements of its lure of receipts which all governments are understood to have sent. PERSONALS Frank L.

FOR DIME,” HOOVER {Food Dictator Does Not Believe in 14 0z. for Nickle Washington, Sept. 1 Basing his estuniates on the basic price of $2.20 for wheat announced by the President, Herbert Hoover, Food Administrator, said last night that flour used in bak- ing should retail to the consumer in New York City at from $11.75 to $12.76 a barrel, depending upon con- ditions experienced by the millers. The aerage price for the last six months, he said, was $15.36. A return to the flve-cent sixteen- ounce loaf of bread, however, Mr. Hoover said, could scarcely be ex- pected under the present trade con- ditions. He felt that unless there was co-operation between baker, retailer and consumer to eliminate waste in manufacture and delivery, a sixteen- ounce loaf probably would retail for 10 cents under the new wheat prices. Hope for a sixteen-ounce loaf that would sell for 8 cents was held out by the Food Administrater, contingent upon co-operation an the part of the public, and he expressed- the belief that, under favorable conditions, some of the big bakers might be able to go slightly below that figure. Some of the men who had been working on the wheat price schedule have expressed the belief that a 5-cent fourteen-aunce loaf would be possible under the new arrangement. Mr. Hoover's estimate of a sixteen-ounce loaf for 8 cents would make the price of a fourteen-once loaf to the con- sumer, 7 cents. A campaign for the elimination of fancy ralls and loaves and the estab- lishment of a standard loaf of bread will be taken up by the Food Adminis- tration in the effort to bring prices down. While the administration has as yet no definite control over retail dealers, Mr. Hoover believes that prices which the government estab- lished will soon become effective. There will be no effort at present to bring about the manufacture of any- thing approaching “‘war bread,” and the b s and conditions Mr. Hoover suggested in his statement are for wheat bread. The present range of prices paid for "bread was so great, Mr. Hoover said, that it was im- possible ta place the average price for ixteen-ounce loaf was being Eight-cent bread, however, is indicated, would mean a considerable saving. Hoover’s Statement. Here is Mr. Hoover's statement: “The average retail price of family patent flour in New York from April to August, inclusive, this year, has been $15.36 per barrel. Upon the declared fair price for wheat the New York price of family patent flour in the larger packages should be at be-, tween $11.76 and $12.75 per barrel, depending on the milling yield of Wwheat this year and the price of mill feed. The price of bakers' patent flour to small bakers and retailers in jute packing, allowing for the mil- lers’ and jobbers' costs and profits, should range between $10.35 and $11.25 per barrel, depending on the milling yield of wheat and the price of mill feeds. ““At the present time contracts are being made in New York for whole- sale lots of bakers’ patent in jute bags at about $10.65 per barrel to jobbers, whose present basis of dis- tribution would make the flour cost the small baker and retailer $11 per barrel. “The price in Boston will probably be 10 cents more per barrel, while that in Pittsburgh should be 10 cents less, in New Orleans 25 cents less, in Chicago cents less, in Min- neapolis 50 cents less, and in Kansas City 60 cents less per barrel. ‘At the prospective prices for flour it is improbable that a full 16-ounce {loaf can be delivered to the consumer for less than 10 cents per loaf, un- less the consumer will join with the bakers and retailers, and consumers can be secured to effect a standard- ized loaf and if wasteful practices which have grown up out of compe- titive conditions can be eliminated and a reduction in delivery and credit brought about. Some bakers of a large volume and with special de- livery conditions may even be able to increase this saving somewhat. “The baking of large loaves under non-delivery and cash sales condi- tions in large secctions of Europe would permit the sale at the bakery door of a 16-ounce loaf from this prospective price of flour, for 6 cents. The higher labor, fuel costs, and methods of distribution through re- tailers, delivery, credit, and other expensive rehandling systems in the United States increase the price.” MISS DILLON SHOWERED. The home of M Illa Ferguson on Chestnut street was the scene of a pleasant affair last evening, when a surprise miscellaneous shower was tendered Miss Mae Dillon of West street, who is soon to become the bride of John (.

Plate Glass Window in Store Smashed and Pedestrian Hurt. ‘While driving his automobile on Main street near Myrtle street this afternoon, Albert Broska of Kensing- ton figured in an accident ‘that created considerable excitement. The wet pavement caused the car to skid, and over the sidewalk it went brinking up against one of the plate glass windows in Naughton’s bakery, re- ducing it to ruin. Steve Smgal of 29 Church street was passing at the time, and he sustained a cut over the eye when the machine ‘struck him. A pair of horses belonging to Ed- ward Bysewett became excited on Beaver street this afternoon and ran away. As the dashing animals neared A.
