BARK GALENA WAS HERE The bark Galena, yesterday reported sunk off the French coast, lay for several days before her last voyage In the Gowanus Canal, at the foot of Eighteenth street, South Brooklyn, where she assembled her crew and made minor repairs. She was one of three or four oceagoing vessels not commanded by a white man. Captain P. V.

Marshall, the skipper, is said to be a West Indian, and is generally esteemed by shipping men one of the finest masters left in the sailing trade. Though his. crew was colored, his officers were white. His first mate told an Eagle man a few days before the Galena said, that though he had sailed under many skippers, in every sea in the world, he had never met the equal of Captain Marshall "as a quarter-deck officer or as a gentle- man." MEAGHER IN SHERIFF RACE Not to be forestalled by John W. Carpenter, whose followers launched a Shrievalty boom for him Monday night, the friends of Matty Meagher are backing him also for the nomination for Sheriff on the Democratic ticket next fall.

The contest promises to be nip-and-tuck between the two Greenpoint leaders. The Meagher movement has many supporters. Another boom launched today was one for former Alderman William H. Pendry. Pendry has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for his old seat in the Board of Aldermen from the Sixty-first Aldermanic District, against Alderman from him two years ago.

SOME PAY 8 CENTS A POUND; SOME 4 Retail Figure as Low as Three Cents With Some Peddlers. $5.50 TO $6.50 WHOLESALE At the office of Oscar Frommel the biggest dealers in potatoes in this part of the country, it was said today that Southern potatoes were selling wholesale at $5.50 to $6.50 a barrel of 160 to 165 pounds. Even an amateur at mathematics can figure out that this averages less than cents a pound. The query naturally arises: It the retaller pays 4 cents a pound for his potatoes at wholesale, does he consider that he is exacting a "fair profit" from the consumer when he sells them at 7 and 8 cents a pound? And here is another conundrum: How is it that potatoes which cost 7 and 8 cents a pound at one store in 8.

certain community may be bought at another store (kept by an Italian) on the same street in the same neighborhood for cents A pound flat? There 1s a fruit store in Flatbush avenue, where potatoes at cents a pound-new pothe price today was 7 cents a pound; tatoes. a few blocks in one direction in the other direction it was 8 cents a pound. The way in which potato prices varied today in different sections of the borough and in the same neighborhoods was interesting. The prices ranged all the way from 4 cents, and even three cents, which was the price charged by push cart peddlars along Grand and Havemeyer streets--to 8 cents a pound in a few stores. At Washington avenue and Sterling place one pound of Bermudas sold for 8 cents and two pounds for 15 cents.

At Sterling place and Franklin avenue Southern potatoes, which were selling for 7 cents a pound elsewhere, cost only 5 cents, but just across the street the same brand was selling at 7 cents at a store on Sterling place, You might pay 7 cents a pound for your Southern potatoes at Kent and DeKalb avenues or you could save 2 cents on each pound by going to Clas. son and DeKalb avenues and paying 5 cents. The prices quoted were for potatoes in each instance. In the Eastern District the prices were no more uniform than they were anywhere else. In Bedford avenue potatoes cost 7 cents a pound and on Broadway 6 cents a pound.

Grand street peddlars found that they were able to make a living by selling potatoes at 5 cents a pound and in some Instances at 3 cents. In South Brooklyn, along Seventh avenue, 8 cents a pound was the rule, but by going down one avenue to Sixth you saved a cent on each pound, and by going down yet another avenue to Fifth you paid only 6 cents. In some places dealers were selling by the basket, the customer paying 15 to 20 cents for a basket. Unless he had It weighed he took the dealer's word for the number of pounds it contained. In the Bedford section there were some stores where the prices were 7 cents a pound and 8 cents for an extra large size, and other places where the prices were 5, 6 and 7 cents.

The prices were as variable as the weather. Two hundred and fifty-three cars of potatoes were standing on the tracks at Jersey City yesterday, and Virginia potatoes arrived in large quantities. Last week 160 to 175 cars a day arrived. There is no lack of potatoes now in the market. The dealers at the a Wllabout Market announced a drop of la dollar per barrel in the price of potatoes today, first qualities were quoted at $5.50 to $7.50 per barrel.

Second grade potatoes were $3.50 to $5 per barrel. Another drop is expected this ewek, receipts continuing on a scale that is causing the supply to far outdistance the demand. 0. H. PAYNE DIES Colonel Oliver Hazard Payne, 78 years old, widely known capitalist and former treasurer of the Standard Oil Company for many years, died yesterday afternoon, from spinal rheumatism, at his residence.

852 Fiftr avenue, Manhattan. Funeral services will be held private, and the interment will be in Cleveland, Ohio. Colonel Payne was born in Cleveland, the son of Former United States Senator Henry B. Payne of Ohio. He was graduated from Yale University in 1863.

Through his efforts his brother was elected Mayor of Cleveland, and his father, after failing in 1880 to be nominated for the Presidency on the Democratic ticket, was elected to the United States Senate a few years later. TO SET CLOCKS FORWARD Beginning January 1, 1918, and perhaps sooner, all American clocks will be set forward one hour in order to save as much daylight as possible. This will be the outcome of the "Daylight Saving Bill," introduced by Senator William Calder of Brooklyn, which passed the Senate yesterday. Borough President Marks of Manhattan was notified today that the bill had passed. The bill provides for the setting forward of the hands of the clock one hour, beginning January 1, 1918, but Senator Calder stated today that he was willing to offer an amendment to the bill, giving President Wilson power to put the "saving daylight" program into effect at once.

MAYOR SIGNS RESOLUTION Mayor Mitchel today signed the resolution passed by the Board of Estimate two weeks ago approving the route of the Ashland place connection between the Fourth avenue way and the Fulton street elevated railroad. The Public Service Commission did not wait for the Mayor's formal approval of the route, but went ahead with the securing of the necessary consents from property owners. IN MEMORIAM BUSCH, 28, 1914.

URGES BETTER H. S. TEACHERS. Resolutions urging better teachers and better teaching were adopted yesterday by the Chamber of Commerc at a special meeting. The resolutions were adopted after considerable debate.

A committee headed by Howard C.

STEP- MOTHER MUST MAKE ACCOUNTING Turner Partially Successful in Suit to Recover Stocks and Bonds.

SON OF "COTTON DUCK KING." Claim to Bonds of J. Spencer Turner Company Dismissed by Court. Thomas McIlvaine Turner, the son of the late Thomas Monroe Turner, known as the "Cotton Duck King" when he resided at Remsen and Hicks streets, was only partially successful in his suit to recover $11,832 of stocks and bonds held by his step-mother, Mrs. Mary Winthrop Turner. Young Turner, who became of age on April 6, 1916, declared that his father held certain stocks and bonde as his guardian and that these bonds were taken without proper authority by his step-mother after her husband's death.

Justice Donnelly in the Manhattan Supreme Court today sustained young Turner's contention as to one bond of the Fonda, Johnstown, Gloversville Railroad Company, and five Central Branch Union Railway Company bonds. He orders Mrs. Turner to account to her step-son for the proceeds of the sales of these bonds, and also for the dividends collected on them. The young man's claim as to bonds of the J. Spencer Turner Company, 5 New York City bonds and 40 shares of Consolidated Duck Company stock is dismissed.

She is well known as a dog fancier, and maintained kennels at the Turner homes in Remsen street and at Shelter Island. Mr.

Turner died in January, 1915. 6 REASONS FOR PROHIBITION National Legislative Conference organizations interested in temperance or prohibition propaganda has prepared an address to the peopie of the nation, setting forth SiX reasons why a national prohibition law should be enacted. The reasons given are: 1. In the manufacture of Intoxicating drinks nearly 6.000.000.000 pounds of food material to feed 1,500.000 men, are wasted each year. 2.

Intoxicants increase idleness and deworking ability needed by the farm, crease the shop and all other productive agencies when every man's best service is in demand. 3. The us of intoxicants wastes financial needed to meet the extra deresources mands of individual and national expenditure. manufacture and distribution of 4. The Intoxicants taxes transportation facilities required for military and commercial purposes to serve the of people's the nations at war needs.

The experience shows that Intoxicants are detrimental to military strength. 6. The capital, labor and materials now in the production and sale of alcoholic beverages could be more profitaemployed bly used in the production of food. mu- for nitions and other commodities needed national welfare.

Says the Present War Is as Unselfish AS That of 1861. (Special to The Eagle.) Saratoga Springs, June 28-With a great campfire meeting held in Convention Hall last night, at which Govh ernor Whitman was the principal speaker, the State Grand Army of the Republic closed one of the most successful encampments of its recent history. The day was given over to the annual parade and public meeting In morning, and a business session in the afternoon, at which the officers for the ensuing year were elected; the activities of the day culminating in the campfire of the evening.

You offered your lives that the Union might be preserved.

It is for the' protection the Union stands for that we offer our lives today. You took the sword that a race might be free. We have taken up the sword that the may be but only a great and passionate refree.

Hatred is not in our hearts today, but only an indomitable, almost religious determination that death is to be preferred to the desecration of those principles and those ideals that are the soul of the nation.
