Joseph Rush-kewlcz, secretary of the city council's high cost ccrnmitec, charges that Chicago dealers are attempting to corner the egg market and create an artificial shortage that will boost prices to I a dozen. He urges householders to refrain from using eggs. Eggs are selling at 80 cents a dozen In Chicago despite storage houses bulging with 1.2U0.000 cases, or more than 30,000.000 dozen he said.

Seven dealers, alleged to have combined, expected to make 000.000 before ChristmaA with 'dollar eggs," according to Ray Lane, former attorney for the committee. "With a dally consumption of 10.000 cases there now Is enough on hand to do for the next four months without any receipts from the farmers," says Mr. Rushkewicz. "The eggs now on tale were placed in storage last spring at from -0 to 2o cents a dozen Speculators aro buyitig up shipments as fast as they arrive and placing them in storage to create a shortage." Dealers are charged with "moon- eggs, selling as "strictly fresh" eggs that have been in storage since spring. In order to prevent discovery of egg caches, dealers Identify the eggs, on ware house receipts as "potatoes," the committee charges.

The only weapon the food Iioarfl-er feara is the housewife's boycott according to Mr. Rushkewicz. who promises that a week general abstinence from the use of eggs would compel release of thousands of dozens of eggs now held In storage with a resultant price de cline. HELEN CONWAY FREED BYGOURT Police Searched House Without Police officers who enter a dwelling place with a warrant for the arrest of the inhabitant may search" only that part of the building In which the arrest is made, is handed down Tuesday In the case the decision of the supreme court, of Helen Conway, Mho was tried before Circuit Judge Eugene F. Law last spring and found guilty.

When the case was tried David A. Fitzgibbon entered a motion to throw out the evidence in connection with the liquor, which the officers alleged they found in the house when the arrest was made. Judge Law denied the motion, and the defense rested with the prosecution. The case was immediately appealed. The supreme court rouna tnat the officers conducted a search of the entire house for about an hour after the arrest was made, and found the liquor In a part of the house at some distance from the part where the arrest was made.

The officers were trespassers, the court held, since they had no warrant to search the entire place, and did so In violation of the constitutional rights of the defendant. Local attorneys say the case is the first one in which the court has flatly announced that a warrant for arrest does not permit the officers to search a dwelling place for liquor.

S43.B00 CRABBED El Structure Will Later House Economics Laboratory Work Port Huron will probably be the first city in the country entered in the National Better Homes contest for 1924. This statement was made Tuesday by Miss Elisabeth Carlisle, whose class in community civics, in co-operation with 79 other civic organizations, took first place in the 1923 The rational headquarters of the -movement has already been unofficially apprised of Port Huron's intention to compete. This year the Model Home will be built almost entirely by children of the public schools, and it is now practically certain that the board of education will furnish the finances to carry out the project.

It is understood that the house will be built on the lot immediately in the rear of Washington Junior high school, now owned by the board. The sum of $4,800 has been asked to buy materials for the structure. When it finished the home will be used as a laboratory in home making, and classes in domestic science, sewing, and manual arts will receive practical instruction there. To Erect Colonial House The home to be built this year will be more pretentious from an architectural standpoint than the simple little bungalow built last year. It will be two stories in height instead of one.

Colonial in design, and the size of the lot, 45 feet wide by 140 deep will be sufficient to allow a garden and a sizable front The house will contain a model kitchen, living room, dining room, and bath room, and probably two model bedrooms. Every class in Washington Junior high school which can be connected in any way with the model home will be used. The actual construction of the house will be in the hands of the boys of the manual training department, although they will work under the supervision of an expert in practical house building. Even the wiring and the building of the furniture will be done by these boys. The furnishing of the house will be in the hands of the girls, who will make the curtains, select color schemes, and weave the attractive rugs for the floors.

The domestic science students will can fruits and put up pickles for the model fruit cellar. Students In the commercial classes are already preparing -a card index system for the model kitchen, arid the English students will soon begin the choosing o( the model library. Pupils to Plan Home The whole work of choosing the design of the house and selecting the accessories will be directly in the hands of the pupils of Miss Carlisle's community civics class. Each detail will be fully discussed before is incorporated into the completed plan. The program to be followed in erecting the home this year will be similar in its main features to that of 1923.

During the winter the classes will make plans for the house, working out the seven community problems in a practical way, and early in the spring actual work on the house will Since National Better Homes week comes in May this year, and since the boys will do the larger part of the building of the school it will be necessary to get a much earlier start in order to finish the building in time. Miss Carlisle's classes, and the other classes which will take part in the building of the home, will do all the work in addition to their regular studies.

Harrison Doesn't Agree In his statement Patrolman Harrison denies some of the statements made by McNeice. In reply to questions Harrison's statement in part is as follows "About three weeks ago wTiile on my beat I found the door, of Primeau's pool room on Grand River avenue open. It was about a quarter to one in the morning. I went in and took my light and looked around.

I did not remove anything from the place then and I did not drink anything while in there. I walked down the alley. No, I did not lock the door. I don't believe I 'notified police headquarters of the door being found open. I came back in about five or ten minutes.

Yes, I returned to the pool room.

He went on and explained to me that he worked for Primeau off and on and helped him out a little and slept there and he showed me his bed.

This was the view taken bv members of the prosecuting attor ney's staff today when it was learned full restitution had been made to William H.

Rudd. the only complaining witness against Berg- Paul W. Voorhies. prosecuting attornev, said, however, that Berger will be brought to trial if he is physically able to be taken into court. Eight postponements have been obtained in Berger's cas when it was set up by his attorneys that ne was seriously ill in a New York hospital.

Mr. Voorhies said he has Known for some time that efforts were be ing made to pursuade Rudd to accept a payment of S6.579.26. the amount he is alleged -to nave lost through Berger manipulations, and that the prosecutor's office had no way to prevent him from taking the money. At the office of Howard C. Baldwin, attorney for Rudd, it was ad- milted Tueseday that full restitution had been made to Rudd.

FARIWERREUEF plan mm Secy. Walface Tells of Export Commission Scheme (By The) Associated Press)- Chicago, Nov.

14. An agricultural export commission designed to restore- farm purchasing power by withdrawing exportable surpluses from the domestic markets, "is receiving the very careful consideration of the Department of Secretary Henry C. Wallace said today in an address before the Chicago Association of Commerce. "While the proposal la "not put forward as a policy of the administration," the secretary said, it has the support and approval of many officials who are in a position to influence legislation on the program. The commission, it was explained, would buy exportal products at the American price and dispose of them in the world market, charging back the losses to the producers on the following crop.

Declaring that the present depression in agriculture, particularly in the wheat belt, is due to the disparity in price levels betwen farm products and the things the farmer buys, the agricultural secretary explained that the export committee plan would aid only "at the restoration of the farmers' purchasing power to that of the prewar period." Depend on World Trade Long studies by the department, he said, had demonstrated that on the whole farm product prices etill were largely determined by world competition while the prices of virtually everything farmers use are protected by the tariff against the competition' of disorganized Europe. This situation, he says, has established two price levels In the country one for agricultural products which is determined by world conditions, and one for modified commodities and labor, determined by American conditions only, because of the protection of the tariff and immigration laws The Is calculated to withdraw from the American market from time to time such surplus quantities as will maintain the domestic market at a level giving the farmer his pre-war purchasing power.
