GRUNDY TOUTED FOR KEYSTONE SENATE BERTH Governor Not to Name Vare: Many Mentioned Possibilities. Bv United Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. Dec. 7. Speculation over a successor t-o William S. Vare, whom the United States senate yesterday refused to seat, centered today around Joseph R. Grundy of Bristol, well known for his activities in Washington as leader of the high tariff lobbyists. It was the general belief in political circles here that Grundy could have the post if he desired it. If the senatorship is not to his liking, it is certain that his views on the appointment will carry much weight with Governor John S. Fisher. Governor Fisher has declined to discuss the situation, except to make it clear that he will not attempt to put Vare in the senate by ah appointment. When reports that he would name Vare spread last night, the Governor was besieged by paper reporters at Reading, where he was attending the convention of the National Guard Association, Fisher declared; Will Consult Leaders “I emphatically deny that I have come to any conclusion concerning j a senatorial appointment, and re- j ports that I intend to name Wii- 1 liam S. Vare are absolutely untrue.”! Governor Fisher is expected to make the appointment early next week. Before doing so he will consult with Republican leaders, including W. L. Mellon, nephew of the secretary of the treasury; Senator David A. Reed and State Treasurer Edward Martin, state G. O. P. chairman. The names of Henry P. Fletcher, former ambassador to Italy, and General W. W. Atterbury, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, figured prominently in discussion here, but well-informed circles here considered the appointment of either out of the question. Speculation Is Rife Others mentioned for the post are Representative George S. Graham of Philadelphia; Samuel S. Lewis of York, former state treasurer; Robert Von Moschizisker of Philadelphia, chief justice of the state supreme court; former Senator George Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia; Owen J. Roberts of Philadelphia, government counsel in the oil scandal cases. Speaking at the National Guard Association meeting in Reading. Governor Fisher declared he would not permit members of -the United States senate, or any other force outside the state of Pennsylvania, to dictate to him in the matter of appointing a senator to occupy the seat denied to Vare.

REFUTES TEETHING IDEA Ailments Are Due to Other Causes, Asserts Baby Specialist. Bv Times Special NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The majority of babies are perfectly well when teething, and the countless ailments of which it is supposed to be' a cause, in almost all cases, are due to some other disorder, declared Dr. Frank Howard Richardson, in the current issue of the Parents’ Magazine. “We must remember.” he writes, “that*there are twenty separate teeth that must force their way through at some time during these relatively few years. Thus there is very ilttle time in which an illness or upset can occur, without coinciding with some noticeable activity of someone of these many teeth. The situation offers an ideal soil in which the superstition of teething as the cause of all the baby’s trouble can flourish. Teething may be a perfectly sound diagnosis, but it never is a sound diagnosis to make, nor a safe one, unless and until every other possible cause of trouble has been investigated and found to be innocent.”

CIGARET PRICES HIT TOBOGGAN IN BITTER WAR Battle to Finish Forecast, With Morgan Backing United Cigar. Bu I nited Pr, .... NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The present cigaret war between United Cigar stores and leading grocery chains promises beneficial results to the entire retail cigaret industry, inthe opinion of local cigaret retailers. While not cutting his prices to the 12-cent rate for popular brands recently inaugurated by United Cigar stores. David A. Schulte, president. of Schulte Retail Stores, stated that the new price for cigarets is 'most opportune and is a move that will prove beneficial to the entire retail tobacco field. Schulte, however, did not indicate whether his company would follow the price cut or how the cigaret war would affect his and smaller organizations if continued over any length of time. Price Is Slashed United Cigar stores cut its price for popular brands to 12 cents a package this week, underselling Schulte, who is retailing cigarets at 12 1 cents a package. United Cigar's price was met promptly by the large grocery chains which have been selling cigarets at cut prices for several years at the expense of the small dealers. In fact, several grocery chains now are underselling United Cigars. A carton of ten packages of Camels, Luckies, Chesterfields or Old Golds, costs just $1.13 at Liggett’s, $1.19 at the A. & P„ and $1.20 at the United cigar stores. Single packages are retailing at 12 cents at these stores. Consequently, individual dealers are being forced to sell cigarets at a loss, a condition which would force many into bankruptcy within a short time if continued. Such a condition is economically unsound and its outcome is being watched with interest. First Fight Launched At present wholesale prices, retailers pay 11.2916 cents a package tor cigarets, while dealers who purchase them direct from the manufacturers receive a discount of 10 per cent. Small dealers can not take advantage of this discount. Action of United Cigar stores was taken to mean that the company was determined to end. once and for all, the present conditions in the industry. The powerful United Cigar is prepared to wage a vigorous battle. Already the retail stores are diversifying their lines of goods and are now in a position to sell cigarets at low prices and continue to earn their overhead.
