DROP JN PRICE OF FOOD NOT EXPECTED Manufacturers SayJabor and Materials Continue UpwardX Special Virpdtch to Th Scn'. Atlantic city, N. X, Nov. 20. Thoro Is no possibility of an early drop In food products. Tho cost of labor and raw material Is Increasing. While the per- centage Is small, IV Is constant Tho \soldiering\ \by employees trying to make their work last' longer and tho fact that labor has not returned to work at the pre-w- efficiency make It Impos- sible to supply tho demand for goods. Tho foregoing are contributing fac- tors that y aro making production dally more expensive and the end Is not Vet In eight, said William L. Sweet, presldeuf the American Specialty ManufalSerB' Association, comprising the paciffb and patented food Industry of the nation, In an address at the ba- nket of the eleventh annual convention. He continued: \During the war wo were called upon to retrench In order to carry on and bring It ton successful conclusion. Now wo aro expected to produco In ever Increasing volume In order to meet the enormous consumption which exists and which will continue for somo time. It Is an eco- nomic and unquestioned fact that never will tho problem of the high cost of living bo solved until production Is made equal to consumption. \From my'' observations there Is no Immediate prospect of a reduction In cost Conditions do not Justify the ex- pectation of general price recessions. I have talked with ninny manufacturers and they do not anticipate lowr prices.\ TO OBSERVE POPE'S BIBTHDAY. No Special Ceremonies Here to Mark (18th Anniversary. The sixty-fift- h birthday of Pope Bene- dict XV. will be observed to-d- by Ro- man Catholics all over the world.

She was told, by Mr. Welgel, she said, that tho body could not be exhumed until some- one mado definite chargos, and for that reason nothing was done about It .at that time. Charges later were mado by Mr. Ryerson's father, and the body was exhumed yesterday and .tho stomach, heart,, liver' and kidneys romoved and sent to a laboratory for analysis and ex- amination. This work has not been completed and no report has been made. .Mrs. Ryerson told newspaper men this afternoon that sho never had any trouble with her husband. So far as her action In sending for Dr. Charles V. Hults when her husband became 111. Instead of another physician who lived next door, she said that this was done at the re- quest of Mr. Ryerson because he had great faith In Dr. Hults.

POSTAL WINS TOLLS POINT. Western Union's Order for Cash In Advance Is Abrogated. Special Despatch to Tns Scir, AlnANr, Nov. 20. The Public Sorvice Commission, Second district held to-d- that tho practice by tho Western Union Telegraph Company, since August 1, of demanding and collecting from the Pos- tal Telegraph Cable Company, cash tolls on messages transferred by the Postal to the Western Union, Is unjust onduti-reasonab- le and that extension to the Postal and Its patrons having charge ac- counts with the Western Union the priv- ilege of an exchange account payable monthly should bo restored. It was shown at the hearing that for thirty years prior to August 1 a prac- tice had existed between tha two com- panies to receivo from eJch other tele- grams destined to lotnts reached by one company and not by the , other, and harge the tolls to an account Instead of demanding cash. On August 1 tho Western Union abruptly discontinued this practice, such action resulting In tho Postal's complaint to the commission. Him to lie Wales's Garst Here, NRwronr, Nov. 20.

He added, however, that corruption need not be an actual money corruption, or If such, the monetary cor- ruption need not boof large amount. Also he Bid the fact that the Grand Jury had had disagreements with the District attornoy \would not Justify ! any suggestion that you should (nvestl-- I gate .his office under the guise of seeking j corrupt misconduct\ Weeks concluded by saying: IJustlco Attorney aa an Individual members of his staff as Individ uals are entltleld to the fairest protection even from an Insinuation of corruption. They may have made mistakes, they may have been unwise In some steps they have taken, but that Is not official mis- conduct, and In the examination affecting a public official It Is of the greatest importance that the action of the Grand Jury should bo without thejllghtest per- sonal or political bias, and any departure from the strict enforcement of that rule can only bring discredit upon the Grand Jury. \On the other hand, If in any of the city departments proof of corruption or misconduct Is found the offender should be brought to book, and If warranted should bo convicted upon tho findings.\ Anonymous Notes Feared. Mr. Swann then that the Grand Jury might receive anonymous communications from per- sons antagonistic to tho District Attor- ney and begged that they be not In- fluenced thereby. The court said that he had so Instructed the Jurymen. \Now this Is very Interesting which I am go.ng to speak about, sum Mr. Swann In ft hesitant manner. \I hope your Honor will bear with mo because I 'think It Is Interesting. The coming year there Is going to be a very mo- mentous election. SU Is Presidential \ year \I have already made references that no personal or political bias should In- fluence thclr.dellberatlons,\ Interrupted Justice Weeks. \What Is tho District Attorney to un- derstand,\ resumed Mr. Swann.- \I am THE SUN, FRIDAY, perfectly willing to do whatever I can. This Is an extremely embarrassing sit- uation. I will give tha Grand Jury every did possible. They might Baled any one or two of threi of my as- sistants they want to help them entirely without me.\ \There Is no need to discuss that\ said Justice Weeks. And then he sug- gested that the Grand Jury nnd Mr. Swann get together nnd probe the milk trust Asa stmt District Attorney Talley then tioko In, saying: . \I was directed by the Grand Jury on a certain day after we had taken some testimony on the milk Inquiry, when the sessions were resumed to take up the traction matter and flnsh the traction matter and whtle we wero In the proc- ess of finishing the tract on matter this drand Jury came Into court with their cxtraordlnaary statement\ The presentment set the District At- torney's office by Its ears. All sorts of conferences sprung Into being, News- paper reporters were Informed that they were libelling the whole plant by pub-- 1 Bhlng anything that transpired In the court room: tae presentment In particu- lar. When ths reporters demanded the reason why the presentment and the court proceedings should not be pub- lished there was a general disposition (o \shush\ everybody in sight Finally one Assistant District Attorney opined that there was nothing libellous about the pub- lication of the presentment, but that It was mighty dangerous to trlfta with a man's character. Mr. Almlrall's letter to Gov. Smith was nn arraignment of District Attorney Swann's letter to the Governor dated October 23. It recalled the Grand Jury's letter to the Governor asking that a pedal prosecutor be appointed to con- duct the examination of witnesses In the traction, milk and unarchlst Investiga- tions before the body. To that request Gov. Smith replied that he was not em- powered to supplant Mr. Swann under the circumstances. Prosecutor's Reply Analyzed, Writing of his above mentioned letter to Gov. 8mltli Mr. Almlrall says: \That letter represented tne concen- sus of opinion of the grand Jurors, all of whom were selected only after challenge, whereas the District Attorney's letter Is but his statement, In lacking In truth and characterized by lubterfuge.\ Citing that portion of Mr. Swann's let-t- er to the Governor baying that he had Packard ' its first and 8th at Hill St. Plains: at 239 Main 21, 1919. submitted to tho Grand Jury all evidence upon the charges that there had been strike collusion between the ifflclals and the of tho In-- ci borough, and that the examination of Mayor Hylan and the \editor of tha New York American\ hod not been Im- peded, Mr, Almlrall says: 'The Grand Jury submits that If tho District Attorney believes he states tho truth he could bost have sunstantlnted his position by offering to petition the court to disclose these minutes, not only In rogard tp this subject .but alsa as they elucidate to his conduct and tho quostlon of fares, and the Grand Jury hereby Invites the District Attor- ney to Join In Its petition to the court to this effect\ Then Mr. Almlrall proceeds to deny that either ho or Mr. Bratnord or Mr. Einstein, members of the Grand Jury whom Mr. Swann declared were unfit to go Into the traction matter because of their business and financial affiliation with the I. R. T. and with persons Interested therein, were In any wise thus and sub- mits from Mr. Bratnard and Mr. Einstein to that effect Mr. Bralnard says that he la president of Harper & Dros. and that his only connection with tho firm of J. P. Slorgan & Co. Is that tha Morgan family owns Harper Broa. bends \securing a personal loan made by the late J. P. Morgan many years ago.\ - Mr. Einstein, a broker, says that on January 6, 1917, ho three one thousand dollar bonds nf tho. 1. R. T., but that Is the total of his Interborough In- terests, and that he Is not, as Mr. Swann charged, a \specialist In traction secu- rities. As for himself Mr. Almlrall says that he was employed back In 1904 by the Hapld Transit Construction Company ns an expert to \supervise Inspect and re- port on structure In tho probable zone of movement before, during and after tho construction of the subway between City Hnll. Manhattan, and the Long Island Railroad Terminal, He says that ho was paid (3.000 a year and that the Job was finished In 1907. Mr. Almlrall says that he never m- -t nqr does he know Do Lancey Nlcoll, whom Mr. Swann says Is Mr. Almlrall's lawyer.
