Evening World. ‘The persistent and consistent cam- Paign for fair food prices for con- sumers, begun by The Evening World Inst January, is not only bringing ise of relief to the consumers of ‘United States but also to other countries, even South America, where ‘the latest wires report « decline of 121-2 cents @ bushel on corn, ‘The large packers and other domi- ant corporations that have been holding food, regardless of price, for several months past are now waking up to the situation and a gradual Tevelling of food values ia imminent. ‘The unloading. into. consumptive channels of large stores of surplus Government foods will be felt along the entire line and will be reflected in lower prices in other commodities. The Government reports show near- Ty 90,000,000 pounds of creamery but- ter that was piled up in the ware- houses at a cost of 2% to 30 per cent. over the highest prices of fresh cream- ery @ year ago, although at that time ‘@ world war was in progress and the nd of the conflict could not be clearly foreseen, Yet trust heads Ard speculators have competed with each other to get butter to put in storage in the hope of some chimerical demand from Europe, particularly England, though at the same time The Evening World called the attention ‘of those merchants to the Insecurity of their posiion, inasmuch as Eng- land had contracted for the entire make of butter from Australia, New Zealand and Argentina at a price nearly 50 per cent. lower than that at which the goods were put away in eforage in the United States. BUTTER DECLINE FORERUNNER . TO BIGGER DROP. A decline of 1% cents a pound on creamery butter yesterday was a fore- runner of an untenable situation, the outcome of which cannot be expected to be anything but drastic. Eggs have also been accumulating In our} warehouses at a rate never before dreamed of and the holdings in the United States are reckoned to be little ff any deiow 8,000,000 cases, 30 dozen to a case, The combined value of butter and eggs in warehouses of the United States exceeds $165,000,000, while the production of both butter and eggs at this season are much greater than ever beforé, and luster especially will show a very heavy in- crease in the near future, as the fall- ing off in the demand for powdered and condensed’ milks from Europe will divert a larger proportion of mili to the creameries and in this way * materially increase the production of butter, ‘The large packing companies made contracts fur the entire output ‘of the cheese factories in New York Gtate and Wisconsin, thus shortening supply available in the regular peed Channels, permitting the market to advance to $3 cents, and now after hoarding up millions’ of pounds of high priced cheese in the warehouses, the English Government has cut thi Brice on Canadian cheese to 26 cents And this is the only outlet where the United States product was expected to be needed, “American consumers are victims high price 15 heir foods, not based on the law 0!

All of the sales stations in Newark, where army food is being resold to the householders at prices below the retail market, were crowded this morning when sugar-cured hams were again them were bought. The only reason that the entire shipment of 3,500 hams 30,000 pounds—did not go was cause Mayor Gillen’s selling organi- jzation could not work fast enough to get them to the selling points. One of those who caught the spirit of the day was the Rev. Dr. George W. King, pastor of the Central Presby- teridn Church at Clinton and Belmont Avenues. Thpugh this church is in an exclusive residential, district, it was crowded all day by the women of the vicinity, all demanding ham and more ham. ‘The demand was extremely heavy at the quarters of Engine Company No. 13, Summer Avenue and Halleck Street. ‘The large crowd there quickly bought out the supplies and demanded more, A truckload appeared and dis- appeared in j.g time—and still there were scores who had not been served. So it went all over. The staff of weighers and taggers at the central depot were kept going at top speed all day long, but could not get the nams out quick enough to supply more thao half the demand. Last night a double shift was placed on duty to prepare for to-day’s sales. The army bacon went fast—but nothing like the swiftness with which the hams were gobbled up to-day and yesterday. One of the first things the Mayor dia this morning was ta accept an allotment of 800 bags of sugar of 100 Pounds each from the United States Equalization Board, What the retail price of’ sugar will be, Mayor Gillen jWas unable to state, The 800 bags will ‘cost the city $7,066, or about 85-8 cents a pound. This may be sold at an advance of about 1 cent @ pound, The retail price for sugar is 11 cents @ pound Trinity Reformed Church in’ Ferry Street and: the Roseville Methodist Church in Warren Street will be: opened as additional stations. In ad- dition, five more churches have vol- unteered, but their sales organiza- tions are not yet formed, Lieut. William J. Mooney, executive manager of the selling organization, this morning carted the canned vege- tables to Newark. Some of the canned goods: will be on the counters before to-day is over. Although the law under which Mayor Gillen is conducting the sales authorizes municipalities to purchase and sell tor the people only food and fuel, Mayor Gillen this morning in- structed the city law department to asgggtain if some way cannot be fo whereby he can also include clothing articles in the sales. The Mayor announced to-day that a New York jobber has offered bim a lot of 24,000 pairs of shoes for resale, roasting chickens have declined about 3c to 4c a pound since the Govern- ment decided to release its holdings of 3,000,000 pounds for general con- sumption and retailers snould not charge over 450 per pound for @ roasting chicken weighing four to five pounds.

Rector of St. John’s Church, Aids Parishioners by “Di- rect Methods”—Broke Up Many Saloon Parties, but - He’s Not Against Saloons if Well Regulated—Poor Man Must Have Place to Go for Recreation. By Zoe Beckley. ‘When the famous two-fisted priest of St. John’s, the Very Rev, Dean Will- jam. MeNulty, reosives the congratu- lations of Paterson to-day it will be with every right'of @ parent who says to his child: “Look what ao fine lad| you are!- I¢ I'4 spared the rod I might ‘have spoiled you.” For the venerable Dean hag literally brought up the city | of #ilk mills, pulling it through many a; crisis, both physical and moral. And he has used his own vigorous methods. Dean McNulty has been sixty-two years a priest to-day, and fifty-six) |years rector of St. John's Roman Cath- ollie Church, the oldest parish in Pat son. He is in his ninety-first year, and one glance at the face of him and the gait of him-as he hotfoots it up the rectory path goes far to rid you of | whatever fear of old age you may se- cretly have been nursing. ‘Whole-hearted love is #o blended with holy fear of Father Mac that practically the entire city is turning out to-day to do honor to St. John's week-long celebration. The big garden is gay with banners, booths and lan- terns, pretty girls, buxom matrons, chocolate cakes, flower baskets, ice cream cones, “fancy goods” and all that goes into the making of an old- fashioned church bazaar, Nine thous- and dollars is to be raised, $100 for each year of Dean McNulty's life, To-night there will be a dinner, and the only person present who will not egy Dean McNulty is a human marvel is the lively Dean himself. “Sure, child, there's nothing won- derful about me," he poolj-poohed when I at last corralled hint in his parish house after an all but hopeless “I never think ut me age. I've a tiny bit of a ang this shin—" he lifted a well-shod foot and pointed to the obstreperous bone, “but it'll be well by to-morrow. I've a sturdy body and I take ca@re of it after a fashion, But it's God that gives me health and ie De me going.” IF ‘THEY DIDN'T BEHAVE BASHED 'EM. We harked back to the days w the Dean was a young priest fresh from Fordham College, whither he went from County Donegal, his birth- place. They do say that Paterson ‘was—well, not a bad-city, of course, even then, but a little naughty in spots. Father Mac bad a big parish and he knew what was best for it. He had a canny knowledge of human nature in general, and of his own k in particular, He never followed the “Oh-my-brethren-I-implore- you” method. He was strong of muscle and firm of mind, and a thorough be- Hever in what he calls “direct meth- od He just up and bashed ‘em. ‘When his sheep strayed into saloons and other plgzes where the entertain- ment tended to late hours, extrava gance and bay effects generally, the good father. ‘was given to unan- nounced “ra“is.” His clerical habit, unfailing top hat and umbrella were a familiar sight, descending upon companies of convivial sinners, and all who were not sufficiently brisk to make a getaway learned the power of the father’s arm and the sub- stantial quality of his umbrella. ‘By golly, he'd lay ‘em out right and left,” was the way one hearty friend of the Dean expresses it “Many'’s the time in the past I've seen; him light in and clean up a crowd of late stayers. ‘What are you doing here at this hour?’ he would say, making a grab. ‘Your old woman worrying fit to kill and the children needing the money you're throwing away. Go on home now--out with you!" And he'd scatter them in four seconds. He was absolutely fearless. But well he might be. I'd like to have seen the man in Paterson that'd dare lay a finger on Father Mac, He'd have been torn to bits, The father knew every one of his parishioners by sight apparently, I never knew him to land on any one else.” Not that the Dean's good works are Nmited to'his own church. Far from it, He befriends Jew, Protestant and heathen alike. HE SHOWED THE LATE "OUT- AT NIGHTERS” THEIR MISTAKES. | “Why not?” he asks, “Shall they be blamed for not being brought up in the Roman Catholic faith? I know! plenty of good folks outside my re- | ligion—and some that are not too good within it, gt was lo rouse these to their best stlves that I used to go my rounds and do what T could to mend matters.

Everybody loves as well as fears’ him. ‘Patesson, almost to a man, would shut down business and spend the day chasing after a couple of) tona of coal for the Dean's orphanage on need, or to gather supplies for his hospital at a pinch, or to help out| his Little Sisters of the Poor. There is not a town or county meeting that) the Dean is not invited to, Hardly & public improvement he has not had a hand in, or @ social condition he has not ret to improve, With the co-operation of former Police Chief Bimpson, Father Mac made Paterson, a better, cleaner town than it used to be. And the present Chief, John M. Tracy, is one of the Dean's own boys, born and bred in the pariph of St. Joh In this, his ninety-first year, Dean MacNulty still gallops about on a hundred errands a day, performing masses, visiting his people, helping the poor with their high cost prob- lems, laying out new plans for his school children. He rises at 56 and goes early to bed —except when there is any refo Ddusiness afoot, then ne:the Dean and that the boys of his schools, not the girls, are the recipients of his lavishest favors, This he cimphatically denies, “Nonsense—I'm for everybody and always shall be if I live to 4 hundred and ten, But women ought to be better than men, and maybe I expect more of them, Goodby—and God bless you.” A health to Dean MacNulty, “Grand Old Man” of Paterson!
