Fair Haven, N.Y., May 14--While rumors ent of German plots in eonnection with the burning of the steamer Porter and Conger Coal early Friday they are not seriously considered here, and it is generally thought that the fire started from tife boilers of the Porter. Both are beyond repair, and while a few years ago they could have been purchased for a few thousand dollars eaeh, their loss to the Lehigh trestle is placed at about $2,000, and repairs will be made at once. The entire trestle' might have gone but for ef- forts of a detachment of Auburnj firemen, who came here under the! command of Chief E. W. Jewhurst. A dog on the Conger Coal may have been the means of saving seve- ral lives, as some of the crew de- clared tliat it was the barking of this little mascot that awakened Captain Lawrence, cf Kingston, Ont, the ship's master, and other members of | the crew. It is believed that the dog | perished In the flames, although five sailors made desperate efforts to get him off the burning vessel. The Porter carried a crew of eleven men' and two women, thirteen all told, while the Conger Coal had fifteen, of which one was a woman. The latter escaped in her.night clothing as did the woman cook on the Porter. The | sailors for the most part saved some CAPTAIN | Vessel Was | Without | are curr was paid to the women even after the crews had left and were making arrangements to leave by rail.; The cook on the Conger Coal, a young woman, said to be a widow wita two children as result of the war, had taken the cooking job for the sum- mer as a means of support. She was supplied with clothing by the women on the barge A. D., and was thank- ful. She lost $5, every cent she had in the world, . The cook on the Porter, an older woman, a French-Canadian, who spoke broken English, was in a sgd- der plight, She was taken to a house where temporary clothing was pro- vided and the ship's master went to the village to buy her clothes. Captain Lawrence was withoot money to pay off the crew or obtain passage for them. He said that he had lost $200, which he left in the safe on the vessel. A small' cement, building, balong- ing to the Government and standing between the trestle and the dock, was destroyed early. This was a loosely constructed, cheap building, and the loss will not exceed $3v0. USE ROLLER FLOUR URGES BIG MILLER Canada Could Save Two Mil- lion Bushels Wheat a Year, He Says. St. Thomas, May 15.--Ex-Mayor R. N.

The exKibition of food substitutes | the German | of a multi-! that | in Berlin révealed: to authorities the existence tude of objectionable articles | were being sold to the people to re- | place the essentials of. life, of which | the supplies are steadily waning. { Remarkable facts are contained! in the oficial report of Dr. Fendler, head of the Berlin Municipal Medi-| cal Council, which is published in the | Vogsische Zeitung. It says: i "Since the beginning of the war the number cf factories for the pro- duction of food has incéreased in the | most uncomfortable manner. Corn | traders without employment, farmers | Hving in town, barbérs who were un- | successful in their proper calling and many others suddenly discovered | that their true vocation lay in manu- | facturing Tood. , ! "Their factory often consists of al cooking pot, their capital a few! marks and some: very questionable | recipes. One of the principal items | to which these manufacturers turned | their attention was soup tablets. | They called them 'meat extract tab- | lets," and they are most pernicious | things. The Government - had al- ready laid down the rule that tablets | 'with this name must contain at least | 7% per cent. of meat extract, but | the rule has not been observed. In many cases as much as 97 per cent. of cooking salt has been found, in these tablets. ' The remaining 3 per cent. shows traces of coloring mat- ter. "Another weird mixture is known as 'beef soup.' It is in the shape of powder and is carefully done up in pretty little cardboard packets. An- alysis shows it contains wheat flour, salt, some sticky substance, and a slight pinch of meat extract. "Another powder is sold exten- sively under the mame of Liptau cheese. It is a coarse red powder which consists of 70 per cent. salt, 30 per cent. red pepper, caraway seed, butter and acid, the latter in- gredient giving the whale a smell resembling cheese dumpling. It is sold in two packets, one ¢ ntaining salt and dried vegetable powder, the other a salty flour mixture. / "Equally unsatisfactory As the re- sult of an analysis of a substance sold under 'the fascinating name of 'citizen's soup pot.' It fetches a high price and is mostly powdered bran with a little meat flavoring. The cost price, including the can in which: it is tastefully packed, is about four cents. 'Another field in which there is swindling on a gigantic scale is the fabrication of pudding powder. Here the main ingredient jis potato ipeal. There are lemon, almond, and rasp- berry puddipg powders, all m of potato meal with a little colohing. Neither taste ner odor of lemons, al- monds, or raspberry can be traced. Little bags of this stuff are sold at 10 cents each, containing an ounce or two of meal and a fraction of an ounce of a substitute for milk ex- t. ® 'In this way, also cream powder, lemon cream, and other delicacies are manufactured. Sometimes maize | flour is mixed with the potato flour, but In thése cases up go the prices from 50 to 100 per cent.. The ma- terials used cost about 48 cents a pound. In the shape of 'cream' or 'pudding'. about $3 is received for them, Finally, there is a pepper substitute; an extraordinary mixture made of worthless substances," Dr. Fendlér in conclusion thinks that. German women have a wide scope for their energies in combating this nefarious traffic. Their associa- tions, he says, should combine to in- 'struct their foolish sisters who in their eagerness to eke _out their scanty stores run after every quack and charlatan who is cunning enough to exploit their necessities. Instead of favoring their suffering sisters with all sorts of beautiful cooking receipts of which nobody can make use in these hard times they should devote themselves, he says, to a campaign' against fraud.

Kingston, May 14 -<(To the Edi- tor): The paragraph in the Press re- cently that Senator Richardson was bringing potatoes from the west for seeding purposes and for distribution by him has raised criticism, and in view of the fact that Semator Rich- ardson acted at the request of the City and County, he called on several of the Kingston dealers. The price quoted by one firm was $6.00 per | bag, and delivery could not be guar-| ii} antead, No other firm quoted. With the aboye. facts before him he immediately instructed his wes- tern office to buy seed. potatoes and have them shipped immediately, These invoices were paid for by James Richardson & Sons, Limited, when the cars were shipped. James Richardson & , Limited were re-imbursed whew the cars arrived at destination. In other words, no charge was made for interest and carrying char .

However, the Greater Production Committee of Ontario have sent out circulars to the public stating they can supply seed potatoes at $4.60 per bag. The foregeing is mot written to eulogize any action taken by Senator Richardson on behalf of the Greater Production, but simply to allay the public's feeling so generally voiced in this matter.
