Funeral from the residence, 984 East st, Wednesday, 1 p.m. 14-2 STEAK $1 A POUND? PRICES STILL SOAR Sky-Rocket Tendencies of Market Make Wallabout Men Apprehensive. CAN'T GET GOOD POULTRY. Small Shop Keepers Fear Ruin If War Sends Cost Much Higher. Mr.

Householder, now that you are paying so much more for your eggs and for your coal--not to speak of sugar at 9 cents the pound where once it was 5-how do you like the prospect of steak at $1 a pound? And yet, take a butcher's word for it, dollar steak may be less visionary than it sounds. Meat prices have been aeroplaning for some time and the zenith has not yet been reached. "Dollar steak is not beyond the bounds of impossibility," said a Wallabout meat man, as he thoughtfully toyed with his clever. The Eagle man paused a moment to catch his breath before he asked another question. The Mother Goose rhyme about the "cow jumping over the moon" began to shape itself into sense in terms of meat prices.

The marketman and his fellows agreed that meat will not be cheap again, and they discoursed learnedly on "increased cost of production" and "annually swelling consumption" as two reasons why it would not. In six weeks meat prices have not only risen, but have. displayed skyrocket tendencies. grades of meat have advanced 10 to 25 per cent. Wholesale rates of beef have shot up 2 cents a pound, pork, 2 cents, and lamb and veal from 3 to 5 cents.

Choice poultry is as difficult to get as plentiful quantities of kerosene oil in Constantinople. Buyers are standing with the money held out for them, but they are not to be had. Even birds of ordinary grades are scarce. Since the first of April the price of choice birds has bone up 3 cents a pound. The meat men are agreed that there is a shortage of beef and that this shortage can be accounted for by the vast amount of supplies shipped abroad.

They will also tell you that these are the days when cattle are turned out to grass and that grass-fed cattle are inferior to the corn-fed cattle of the winter months. There is a more plentiful supply of second-grade beef and the meat men say it should grow cheaper within the next few weeks. "The armies of Europe are consuming the meat which should find its way into the American home," was the comment of one marketman wise in meat lore. "The cost of living will be high here while the war lasts on the other side." The following table shows how meat has increased in price in a period of twelve months, giving the comparative wholesale prices today and the prices of the corresponding time al year ago: 1915. 1916.

Beef in bulk, 13 Hindquarters 15 18 Chucks of beef. 13 Veal 16 a17 17 a18 Lamb 17 a8 Mutton 11 11 8 13 lams. fresh 15 al7 18 A 20 Loins of pork 17 a18 Bacon 17 a18 17 a22 Chickens 20 24 24 a28 Fowl 19 a20 22 Rates in the retail butcher shops have advanced with the wholesale prices, varying from 5 to 10 cents a pound for all meats, according to the quality of the goods and the class to which the retailer caters. Not only that but small shop keepers have sounded a more ominous note. They say that ruin faces them if the cost of maintaining the business' goes, much higher.

They complain that it is hard for them to carn any profits. But, suppose you cannot pay a dollar for steak? What then? Learn to eat fish. It is plentiful and cheap. When the warring armies begin to take our fish then it is time to worry. OUTING FOR OLD FOLKS.

Through the kindness twenty-five residents of East New York, about 106 inmates of the Hebrew Home for the Aged were enabled to take their first annual auto ride through Brooklyn and Long Island today. In charge of the outing was Mrs. Isaac Krimsky, director of the home. DEATHS. STRAUBEL-At his daughter's home, 14 Elmwood av, Montclair, N.

WIFE. FREDERICK LOESER Inc. CUT FLOWERS AND FLORAT DESIGNS. ICK SERVICE. LOW In Absence of a Burglar Fasten Crime on T.

Cat It was a cat---not a burglar. When William P. Scully, of 1715 Dorchester road, got up yesterday and found the pantry window broken, he had no doubt that burglars were responsible. Two weeks ago Mr. Scully moved to Flatbush.

No untoward incident marred his quie. life there until yesterday morning--then the broken widow. Detectives arrived and examined the window. They spoke learnedly about it "but nothing was in the house, nothing was disturbed. It looked like one of those Sherlockian problems until Mr.

Scully had a bright thought. He recalled the cat. The cat had been yowling around the premises night after night, as cats will around the premises of a new rival, and it had been as difficult to find its flank with a shoe as it would have been to plant a bullet in Marley's ghost. BARREL But There Was No Trouble on "Pop" Kenny Outing. All was peace and quiet on the annual outing of the "Pop Kenny Association" of Brooklyn as the members of that organization boarded the two barges towed by a tugboat at Yonkers, yesterday afternoon.

As the boats left the shore, one of the members made a wager with another that the latter could not lift a quarter barrel of beer over his head six times. The second man did it five times, dropping the barrel to the deck after each attempt. On the sixth lift the barrel exploded. The constables at Yonkers, all of whom were greatly excited at the apof so many people, excitedly telephoned the New York police that a lot of gun fighters were coming their way. As a result many policemen met the barges at the Hamilton avenue dock, and were surprised to see no one coming off with a stretcher under him.

Upon learning the details, the police left. The committee in charge was made up of Ernest Kasold, Joseph Allen, Edward Allen, Edward Murnane, Ed- ward Quigley, Eugene Jouanneau, Cullen, Albert Rempe, Michael Smith and Michael Hayden. TO STUDY DISTRICT LINES Hearing on Democratic Gerrymander Is Adjourned to June 21. The Republican protest against the reapportionment of the political districts by the Democrats came up today before Justice Cropsey in Special Term of the Supreme Court and was adjourned until June 21, when both sides will be heard. Colonel James D.

Bell, who appeared for the Democratic organization, asked to have the argument put over so that he might have an opportunity for a comprehensive study of the new lines, maps and census figures. Senator Alfred J. Gilchrist, who appears for Jacob A. Livingston, Republican leader and chief objector to the gerrymandering, asked that the parties who are to oppose the motion to have the reapportionment set aside should file their answer by June 19, so that the Republicans may know what to meet. Justice Cropsey directed the Aldermen, the Attorney General and the Democratic organization to file allswers by that day.

This protest affects only the Fifth Senatorial District, as it is on the new political map, and which embraces the Twentieth, Twenty-first and Twentysecond Assembly districts, the latter the stronghold of both Livingston and Gilchrist. J. Arthur Hilton appeared today! before Justice Van Siclen in the Supreme Court for an order which will bring the entire county reapportionment into review before the courts. SHOOTS SELF IN HOTEL Mrs. Kaufman Had Made Death Plans.

Mrs. Josepha Kaufman, 27 years old, wife of Joseph Kaufman, who is said to be connected with a safety razor company at Jay and Johnson street, Brooklyn, shot herself last night in her apartments in the Hotel Earlton, 118 West Seventy street, Manhattan. laid out on the bed a suit of white clothes, which, she later told the police, she had hoped to be buried in. After firing a bullet through her left breast Mrs. Kaufman was stricken with remorse and telephoned to Dr.

J. W. Stephenson of 205 West Fiftieth street. Then she collapsed. Persons in neighboring apartments, who heard the rushed in and found Mrs.

Kaufman unconscious. FILL IN DYKER PARK URGES CIVIC BOARD Bath Beach Body Supports Ingersoll's Request for 000 Appropriation. In support of the application made by Park Commissioner Raymond V. Ingersoll to the Corporate Stock Budget Committee of the Board of Estimate for $95,000 to commence the work of filling in the swamps of Dyker Beach Park, the Bath Beach Taxpayers Association has submitted a brief strongly urging the improvement. The residents of Bath Beach have long sought to have the mosquitobreeding swamps of Dyker Park filled in, but have met with repeated obstacles on the part of then various city administrations.

With oc-operation of Commissioner Ingersoll, however, the improvement looks now to be in a fair way to be consummated. In his brief Samuel Fruchtlander, counsel to the Bath Beach Taxpayers Association, urges the carrying out of the Ingersoll plan for three reasons. "It would reclaim to the city about fifty acres of land of considerable value; it would make available seventy acres of level field, twice the area of the Parade Grounds at Prospect Park; it would encourage development of the land now lying idle at the threshhold of the Park. "It would eradicate a mosquito breeding area and thereby materially improve the health of Bath Beach, Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights and Fort Hamilton sections. "It would open up a playground for the benefit of the people." The improvement will eventually cost $200.000, but the $95,000 asked for now will fill in the mosquito swamps.

LOCAL DEMOCRATS OFF TO CONVENTION Express Confidence in President's Ability to Defeat Hughes. DUE IN ST. LOUIS TOMORROW. Party, Under Leadership of McCooey, Cheerfully Start on Trip to Re-nominate Wilson, Again expressing confidence that Woodrow Wilson would be renominated and re-elected by a large majority, Democratic Leader John H. McCooey left this morning at the head of the Kings County Democratic delegation to the St.

Louis Convention. The Democrats were in high spirits, in that respect furnishing a marked contrast to the Republican delegates who left the week before. They were well satisfied with the results at Chicago and had no doubts of President Wilson's ability to beat Hughes. There were 130 in the Democratic party as the special train pulled out of the after Pennsylvania Terminal in Manhattan, making stops at Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn, and at Nostrand avenue and East New York to take on additions. "Woodrow Wilson will be renominated and re-elected," declared Leader McCooey.

"He is the greatest man in this country today and the people are behind him. Not in 127 years has the United States Supreme Court been marred by being dragged into politics, and the voters of this country will resent the action of the Republicans in taking their candidate for President from that court. Hughes is the weakest man they could have put up." The Kings County delegation will arrive in St. Louis at 1:35 p.m. tomorrow.

The convention opens on Wednesday. Among those Democrats in the party are: John H. McCooey, Richardson Webster, Edward Lazansky, Rowland Miles, George M. Curtis, Henry R. Chittick, William E.

His manufacturing plant is in Long Island City. He took breakfast with his wife today, but acted so queerly that she became alarmed and, when he left the table she followed him upstairs.

BROOKLYNITES LAUD EAGLEPREPAREDNESS Hughes Picture, Issued 12 Hours After Nomination, Brings Praise.

1 The fine picture of Justice Charles E. Hughes on special calendered paper, issued as a supplement to The Eagle yesterday, evoked much commendation that was not confined wholly to Republican circles. Printed within twelve hours after the selection of Mr. Hughes as the nominee of the Republican Presidential Convention, the picture regarded as a distinct ware newspaper feat. Persons who knew Justice Hughes pronounced it one of the best likenesses they had ever seen, its appearance in the windows and on the walls of many homes indicated that it will be put to extensive use in the coming campaign.

Jacob C. Klinck, president of the Brooklyn Civic Club, pronounced it "another example of Eagle preparedness." "The Eagle is to be warmly praised for its enterprise," declared the Civic Club president. "The distribution of its remarkably fine picture of Justice Hughes within a few hours after his nomination by the Republican Convention again illustrates the ability of The Eagle to meet all situations." Borough President Lewis H. Pounds and State Controller Eugene M. Travis also praised the picture.

"It was fine work on the part of The Eagle, and helped materially to add to the inspiration of moment," was the comment of the Borough President. "I think that The Eagle handled the entire news of the convention in splendid shape," he added, "The picture was a fine one, and was distributed at the psychological moment," declared Controller Travis. "I expect to see it widely used during the coming campaign." On next Sunday, The Eagle will carry a similar fine art print of the Democratic candidate.

RETURNS FROM TRIP; HER JEWELS GONE Mr. Scully tentatively offered the cat as a solution of the mystery and the bright detectives of Commissioner Woods accepted with alacrity. Here is how they worked out the problem without the assistance of Mr. lock Holmes: The cat started its chorus on Saturday night and it louder than usual because it was was. Saturday night.

Ever note the difference between the Saturday night howl of a Thomas cat and the Friday or Monday night chorus? There is a marked difference. While the cat was running down the scales some neighbor took a pot shot at it with an air-rifle or hove a shoe. The bullet or the shoe broke the window. That may be the solution but it will never be definitely known unless the detectives take the "cat prints" from the window sill and develop them to show the whorls and arches of the criminal, orUnless the cat comes back.
