PROFITEERING
AT EVANSVILLE
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 9. Reports of an organized system of profiteering in substitute foods by wholesalers of Evansville are being investigated by agents of the Federal Food Adminis
trators of the department of justice.
Insistent complaints have been com-
ing from Evansville that hotels, res
taurants and public eating-houses have been forced to pay unreasonable prices for oysters, fish, seafoods and other meat substitutes, with the result that their profits have been almost entirely
wiped out. For eggs, it is alleged,
prices are much higher than most
wholesalers in the state have been de
manding and poultry prices are well-
nigh prohibitive.
Under the Food Control Act, the food administrator has authority to
demand the accounts of all dealers
which may be done in this instance, if I
is apparent that any wholesalers are taking advantage of conditions to pro
fiteer.
FIRST CHRISTIAN
ELECTS THURSDAY
The annual business meeting of the congregation of the First Christian
church will be held Thursday evening
at the church. A basket supper at 6:30 o'clock and a social hour will
precede the business meeting.
Officers will be elected and reports from the different departments of the church will be given. All members of the congregation are urged to be
present.
"BOOMERS" CAUSED
POLICE MORE WORK
The number of persons brought be
fore the bar of justice by Richmond
police during the year 1917 was 167 greater than the number taken into custody during the year 1916, accord
ing to the annual police report
However, the actual number of Rich
mond persons who were taken into
custody in 1917 was emaller than the number in 1916. There were 1,059 persons arrested by police during 1917
as against 892 in 1916.
The added number of arrests was partly due to "boomers," who drifted in and out of Richmond according to Ed McNally, former police chief, who is now assistant chief. The report shows that there were 556 "drunkV
arrested during 1917 as against 434
during 191C, which shows that the po
lice department was more vigilant during the year just ended, the chief

DAVID ti ADDRESS
EYER TO
iALERS
American Staffs are
Shifted from Paris to Near Army Headquarters PARIS. Tuesday, Jan. 8. The first
detachments of the American staffs located in Paris, probably will begin moving to their new headquarters tomorrow and all will be established some distance from Paris by January
15, at the latest. It was originally planned to move the several hundred men Involved at once by special train, but It was found impossible to wind up all the work simultaneously, dron
it for the period necessary for the shifting of the men and then take it up again. Consequently, officers representing each branch leaving Paris have for some days been in the town where the new headquarters are located, arranging not only for living accommodations for the officers, but for the offices that will be as roomy and ade
quate as the Paris quarters. It is probable that the officers will be obliged to forego residence at hotels when they get to the new headquarters, because the accommodations are inadequate. The officers will, instead, be billetted with private families, as are the officers attached to General Pershing's staff. It now is definitely settled, that the lines of communication department with Its subsidiary transport department and aviation departments, except the technical branch, will leave Paris.
David Meyer, president ot the Indiana Retailers' association, will makn an address Wednesday evening at the Commercial club to all retailers of Wayne county.

kidney disorders,"
