CROWD! ONC FARMER ONLY HAD 'EM.
HE PLEASED MANY, HOWEVER
enough, ain’t it? I’ll say
"Cheap
it la!" “ ' * A Jolly farmer with a wagon backed against the curb at the south side of the courthouse square wag gelling apples at 3 cents a pound today, and that Is what he said. One cdtild see all over his beaming face that he got a deal of satisfaction out of the business. The good feeling displayed in his face and words was a reflex in part of that In the faces of women with their market baskets on learning that apples could actually be bought for 3 cents a pound. They were not the best apples on the market. They were fallen apples and they had defects, but they wgre good food which a trained housewife well knows how to utilize, and It was much better for society that fallen apples should be sold on the market for 2 cents a pound by a producer than that they should be permitted to rot on the ground where they fell while commission men and regular retailers took their profits and loaded the additions
on the consumer.
General Prices Shade Lower.
In general prices were a shade lower on the public market than last week. The arousal of the public affainst the tendency of dealers to pile 10 per cent, more profit on when the cost may be only 4 or 6 per cent, higher or no higher seems to be having an effect. The standholders are not indulging so much in assertions of how prices will be higher next market day. They are not talking up scarcity so much, but rather are forcing to the front what they think will appeal to the consumer as cheap. What students of mental science call the psychology of the situation is different from what it was two weeks ago. The public is less disposed to be s tarn tied ed into buying by reiteration of predictions that
prices will be still higher.
Roasting Ears at Fifteen Cents. The market was filled with good things. Roasting ears brought in by the farmers were retailed by them at from 16 to 20 cents a dozen ears, and they were large and well-fined ears that one delights to eat off the cob in true American style. Market baskets were being
loaded with them
The influence on prices exerted by direct sales from producers to consumers at the farmers' wagons extended inside the market buildings, where roasting ears were sold for 20 and 25 cents a dozen at many places, though some of the standholders continued to ask 35 and 40 cents a dozen. The latter were not selling many roasting ears. Buyers with their market baskets had been looking around and few of them "fell for" U»e high prices. Cantaloupes at Five Cents. Good cantaloupes were retailing at 5 cents each throughout the market, or two for la cents for larger ones. TipTops were selling at from 15 to 25 cents each, according to size. In many of the restaurants the charge for half a canta-
loupe was 15 cents.
Watermelons were selling on the market at retail at from 50 to 60 cents. Potatoes. two pounds for 15 cents, four for 25 cents, and at some stands 6 cents a single pound; beets, four bunches for 10 cents, lemons, 25#30 cents a dozen; bananas, from la to 25 cents a dozen; peaches and pears. 10 cents a pound and three pounds for 25 cents; string beans, 18©20 cents a pound, there being few beans on the market; eggs, 43@50 cents a dozen; country butter, fi> cents a pound; tomatoes. 3, 4 and 5 cents a pound at retail stands. Farmers were selling them at from $1 to $1.25 a basket of approximately sixty pounds. MANY iNJUREP IN RIOTING. Car Company Strikers and Nonunion Men Fight at Butler, Pa. BUTLER. Pa.. August IS.—More than a score of persona were injured, several seriously, in a riot today between strikers of the Standard Steel Car Company’s plant and nonunion employes, two miles from the plant. A troop of state police, which has been guarding the works, was sent to the scene. The trouble started when interurban cars bearing nonunion employes to work were flagged en route to the plant. Between forty and fifty strikers jumped from behind nearby buildings, dragged workers from the cars and beat them. Other passengers were held at bay by strikers’ pickets, who were armed with clubs and stones. The strikers fled before the state pone*. Arrests of strike leaders are expected The strike has been in effect two weeks. More than 2,000 men fire out • ;

Havens, a farmer living north of Shelbyvllle, against Frederick Ehlers and John Schuler, •deputyfish and game commissioners. Mr. Havens has told hi* atory to his attorney and to George R Tolen, prosecuting attorney for Shelby county , Mr. Tolen made the statement Monday night that in the future all charges filed in this county by fish and game commissioners must be filed before him and with his knowledge, and that they will be filed in the Shelby circuit court, and not in Justice of the peace courta He said that in the future, in all auch cases, he will request the court to require the fish and game commissioner or deputies bringing the charge, to gi* e a bond of $600 to insure their appearance In court here when the case is called for trial, and that If they are unable to- give the bond, the court order them to jail until the trial Is held. Did Not Tell Prosecutor. The prosecutor said that the courta In this county can not be "monkeyed with,” as. he asserted, attempted by the deputy fish and game commissioners re cently, after charges of violation of the state fish laws had been filed in local justice of the peace courta by Ehlera and Schuler against Sherman Havens a nd Charles Gaines. Shelby county farmers. Those charges. Mr. Tolen says, were filed without his knowledge, and that a search' warrant to search the homes of the tw’o men was obtained without bis being informed. Mr. Tole.i says that the deputy commissioners w#re notified several timex of the dates set for the trials of Havens and-Gaines, both of whom were acquainted. and that they failed and refused to appear, “sending a telegram requesting that the cases be dismissed.’ The prosecutor also says that the deputies failed to appear in th® courts where the search warrants were obtained to turn over any evidence hat they might have found in their visit, as is required by law. Says He Was Asked for $10. Mr. Havens, one of the men arrested on fish law violaUon charges and who was acquitted by jury after the deputy commissioners failed to appear, has alleged to the prosecuting attorney that Jtinlers and the man who filed the charge against him had told him that nothing would be donewith the case If Mr. Havens would give him $10. Mr. Havens also made allegations against Schuler, concerning what he asserts were unnecessary acts in searching the Havens home. # Mr. Havens said that he was standing on the street in Shelbyvme after the men had visited his home, talking with j. Q. Oldham, a stock buyer living here, when he was approached by Ehlers He declared that Ehlers said that he saw that Havens Intended to stand trial on the charge of violating the fish ws. Havens answered that he was. "Ehlers then told me that If I would give him $10 nothing more would be done m the case," Mr. Havens said. “I told him that I wouldn’t give him 10 cents, and he left.’’ These are the charges that are to be laid before the October Shelby county grand jury. Things promise to become warm before the affair dies out entirely. The prosecutor declares he is determined that in the future there shall be no more action similar to that of the Gaines and Havens cases. OFFER TO INDIANA MAN. J. R.

The question of profiteering in rents will be taken up for thorough investigation by the Indianapolis Real Estate Board according to information received by I* Ert Slack, United States district attorney, from William L. Elder, president of the real estate board. Such an investigation by the real estate men was requested by Mr. Slack in a letter written by him to Mr. Elder last week. The first step In the Investigation will be made at the first monthly meeting for the season of the board of directors of the real estate board. This meeting will be held the first Tuesday in September. The members of the board are Wiliam L. Elder. Charles H. Badger. W. L. Bridges, Thomas F. Carson, E. L. Dupree, J. 8. Cruse, Walter T. White. Harry N. Stackhouse and J. J. Schmid. Complaints Continue. Complaints of alleged unreasonable rents continue to come into the office of the district attorney. Mr. Slack is prepared to submit these complaints to the real estate board and asks that organization to investigate thoroughly the situation. He says that if such an investigation falls to bring reasonable results he will give publicity to the profiteers and will make such investigations himself as the law will permit. Much Information has been received by Mr. Slack in regard to the amounts of food in storage in storehouses throughout the state. It Is his purpose, he save, to take immediate action whenever the situation warrants, and meanwhile to obtain all information needed for the grand jury investigation to begin on September 30. Uniform Price for Sugar. In regard to the price of sugar, which, according to a ruling of the federal board of equalization and an opinion of the attorney-general, should not be more than 11 cents. Mr. Slack Is seeking to make the price uniform at 11 cents throughout Indianapolis. On complaint received that a grocer was selling sugar at 12 cents, Mr. Slack conferred with the grocer who agreed to sell at li cents rather than undergo publicity on the matter. FOUR NEW MEMBERS ON BOARD
Two Are to Investigate Stories of Rent Profiteering. % Stanley Wyckoff, federal food administrator of Marion county, said today he would add two members to the fair price committee appointed .Monday to report on coal prices and two to report on rents. He said he had received many complaints of rent exactions. In some cases he finds landlords have been putting up rents on less expensive houses $2.56 a month and have been adding to the charge from month to month until the rents collected are in many cases 50 per cent, higher than they were two years ago. Mr. Wyckoff has also heard of rents on the better class of houses and on apartments which were formerly $50 and $60 a month being raised to $60 and $75 a month. The sugar situation in Indiana is still very serious. Mr. Wyckoff said. Not a car was received in Indianapolis today. Of the cars promised by the war department, not one has reached Indiana, though three are on the way from St. Louis and six from Atlanta. Madison got a car of sugar a few days ago from a refiner. Over the telephone Mr. Wyckoff was told that the entire car has been distributed and more is urgently needed. HER FORTUNE TO ORPHANS.

BASIS FOR MW
TWO COMMISSIONERS SAY PRODUCERS CAN GET SPACE.
COURTHOUSE YARD AT ISSUE
Carlin H. Shank and Lewis, W. George, county commissioners, were not willing to concede today that there was anything in the assertion of their fellow-commissioner. Joseph G. Hayes, that .producers do not have a fair opportunity to dispose of their produce at retail on the city market, particularly on the part of the market surrounding the courthouse. Mr. Hayes has proposed that the commissioners bar everybody from the courthouse premises and surrounding street curbs who is not a producer.

Reports From Hammond and East Chicago Are More Favorable. Governor Goodrich and Harry B. Smith, adjutant-general of Indiana, received word Monday afternbon from Hammond, where differences between employers and emplojes had reached threatening proportions, that negotiations between the employers and strikers have proceeded somewhat favorably and that a definite settle- j ment may be reached soon. State officials have so notified the ten companies of state militia they were prepared to send to the disturbed district. Lait week the ad-jutant-general advised the companies that they might be called oq at any moment and directed the company commanders to take such action as would enable them to get out their units quickly if called. In some instances the commanders mobilized their men to give Instruction and required the militiamen to report at intervals to headquarters. It is expected at the statehouse that definite announcement as to the situation may be known by Wednesday evening. Governor Goodrich was requested Saturday by Secretary Wilson, of the United States department of labor, to send troops to Hammond to protect several hundred houses of the United States housing corporation, but the Governor replied that he had not been called on by the Hammond authorities to send troops and that until the Hammond authorities were unable to cope with the situation he had no authority to interfere.
