T PUSH CART MEN ANGRY Peddlers of New York Aroused Over Street Commissioner Woodbury's Order. MAYOR ASKED TO INTERVENE 31 n Plan to Boycott All Markets and Will Carry Fight to City Hall, They Hay. New Tork, July 25. -The push cart peddler of New York have declared war on Commissioner Woodbury of the atreet cleaning department They charge him with flagrant opposition against them and declare be la using the cloak of hli office to drive them out of business. In the face of the commissioner's mandate corralling them under the new bridge, the peddlers have united In a plan to frustrate him and compel him to rescind the order. They held meetings in six different east side halls and decided they would boycott all of the markets. They say they will car ry the fight Into the city hall and de clare that they had a definite promise from Mayor McCielian that their push cart business should not be interfered with during his administration. Committees have been appointed which will march down to the city hall in a body and ask for a conference with the mayor. They will urge him to discipline Commissioner Woodbury and call off his crusade against them. Many of the leading wholesale dealers atended the meetings and declared themselves In sympathy with the ped dlers. They contributed liberally to a cash fund which is to be used for de fenslve purposes. This fund will be used to employ counsel and a com mittee will call on ex-Governor Black and ask him to become their legal champion. They will try to obtain an injunc tion against Commissioner Woodbury to prevent him from earning out his order colonizing the push cart peddlers under the new bridge. They say that If this order Is enforced, it will prac tlcally drive the -whole army of ped dlers out of business and cause end less suffering among several thousand families. If Mayor McCielian does not give the committees a hearing the peddlers' as soclation will try still other means of reaching him. All the members and their wives and children will meet on the east side and if they can get permit for a parade will march 10,000 strong down to the city hall. BOSTONIANS MAY DISBAND. Well Known Company in Financia . Trouble in the East Atlantic City, N. J., July 25. A con ference has been held here between the manager and members of the Bos tonlan Stock Opera Company in which it was seriously proposed that the com pany disband. The members have con eluded a three weeks' engagement In this city and while the patronage here was not disappointing, the profits were not enough to meet the serious deft clency which hud been created by a run of ill luck which started in Bos ton. The manager of the company is quot ed as saying that if the arrangements for further financial assistance did not succeed it would be advisable to wind up the affairs after a three years' ex lstence as a corporate company. There are some 40 people In the combina tion. TRUE! BUT WHY DELAY? Talk It Cheap, But There Is No Excuse for Procrastination. Salem Statesman: The Astorian calls attention to the circumstance that a few months ago a committee of en ergetlc men spent eight or 10 weeks preparing a preliminary report upon the proposal to build a seawall In front of that city. The report was made to the Chamber of Commerce and has not been heard of since. According to The Astorian, this Is a proposition that mfcst be acted upon before Astoria can hope to do any growing that will be of a permanent character. That paper asserts that "if undertakings of this kind are per mitted to die, those Astorlans who as pire to residence in a great city might as well move over to Warrenton and start anew." . But we have discovered In Salem how easy it is to hold public meetings and actually become enthusiastic In the ad vocacy of ome worthy proposition, while In the meeting, only to find next morning that it will cost money, after all, and It doesn't take on the same roseate hue when sitting alone In your business office, confronted by your dally ledger, that It did when you were placed in a position where it seemed necessary that your public spirit should nut be outclassed bysome measly, gar rulous enthusiast across the halL But these essentials will tome In the course of time. Their realization re quires talk. Verbal exploitation is the certain and effective forerunner of great things accomplished In this country. Astorlans will never feel the necessity of removing to Warrenton any more than denizens of the Capita) city will, for reasons of temporary post ponement of cherished enterprises, look longingly in the dfrectlon of Eola as a choice location for a future abiding place. Better Get Divorces at Home. For the benefit of those seeking di vorces, the Olympla Recorder states that it would not be advisable for mis mated couples to go to Canada. As a bar the editor says: "The average cost, including traveling expenses for both applicant and accused must ap pear at Ottawa, the seat of govern ment, when the bill is heard govern ment fee, solicitor and counsel fees and so on, is not less than 500, and oftener reaches $1,000 or more." be governed wholly by the universal law of supply and demand." Mr, Burns says that the consumj 'Jam f cereals by the Russian and Jap anese armies Is not sufficient t play any part in the wheat market. Th Russians, says he, subsist largely oa rye bread, as regards the consumption of grains, while the Japanese eat barley and millet. The large shipments fret here of barley were not destined for animals, but for itha . Japanese sol diers, says Mr. Barns. Mr. Burns returned from a stay fif one month In England last Sunday. Ha was absent from tbe city two months; one of which was consumed In trav eling to and from Europe and visits In the United States. NO EFFECT ON WHEAT PRICES Far Eastern War Not a Factor, Ssys Prominent Portland Man. The war In the far east will cut no figure in the price of wheat, according to Walter J. Burns, president of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, who has Just returned from a trip to Eu rope. Mr. Burns nays that the pros pects for wheat are good, but he does not believe the price will be extremely high. - ' . "As the matter now stands, the pro ductive capacity In Russia has not been affected," said Mr. Burns to a Telegram man. "The country Is so large that the reduction In the ranks' of labor Incident to the demands of the army is comparatively small. Tbe governing factor nowadays In the price of wheat is the production of that cereal In the Argentine republic. This last season was exported from the Ar gentine republic from three to four times more than the Pacific states had to spare. "Australia Is an uncertain crop until the turn of the year, and the output from that country will materially af fect the world's market. In my Judg ment the price of wheat is not affected by or dependent upon the war, but will Some Good Parting Words. 8. A. Perkins has sold his Interest fat the Aberdeen Bulletin to H. D.
