WANTS STATE RUN
PRODUCE MARKETS
Cuvet nor C'ynn of New York Says
It will Reduce Cost of Living
and Help the Farmers.
-
ALBANY, N. Y.. April 3.—In a rues
sage sent to the legislature just be -
fore its adjournment Governor Glynn
urged an appropriation of $35,000 to
cover the initial expense in estab
lishing co-operative and auction mar
kets for farm products in large cen
ters of population throughout the
state. Within a comparatively short
time, the governor 'believes, the sys
tem advocated by him can be made
self-supporting through the proceeds
from reasonable charges levied
against the shippers for the market
ing pf their products under state aus
pices.
In his measure Governor Glynn ex
pressed the opinion that with this {
plan in operation prices of faun pro- |
ducts would adjust themselves auto- j
matjcally in proportion to the sup
ply and demand, with mutual ben
efit to producer "and consumer. He
denounces the,present system where
farm products ' are 'bandied by com
mission houses, which fake advantage ,
of any shortage of supply to advance >
prices to the consumer, without re - :
sponding in a similar prompt manner j
when an abundance of products !
should lower prices.
The governor said he had received j
many complaints from farmers who ■
asserted that, under the present sys- j
tem, consignees of farm products fre
quently speculated in their wares to
the disadvantage of both producer and
consumer, and that they practiced
fraud on farmers with whom they
dealt “by misstating the condition of'
the goods when received by them.” •
“The fact that, this method of deal
ing is open to all producers,” the gov
ernor says, “and is comparatively free
from abuses and establishes prices
and definite measures, compels all
produce dealers to treat their ship
; pers with fairness. The system also
eliminates the abuses of the present
system where dishonest and unscrup
ulous dealers practice methods deri
mental to the honest dealers.
“What New York needs is a reliable
meeting ground "or the man who has '
produce to sell and the one who wants !
to buy. a place where they can make
their exchanges through a reliable
intermediary with a fair charge for
services, and a place where prices
must follow the natural law of sup
ply and demand. Such a market can
i be provided by the measure I sug
j gest, and I urge it upon the earnest
I consideration of the legislature.”

MILLIONS LOS!
Flames at St. Augustine, the Oldest
City in the United States, Causes
a Loss of Millions.
ST. AUGUSTINE. Flu.. April 3.—
Eire which started in the big winter
hotel owned by the Flagler estate,
swept over the hotel section of the
city today and five hotels, the court
house, a theater and two business
blocks along the water front were
destroyed. The loss is estimated at
several millions of dollars.
Nobody knows how the tire start
ed. but when discovered it had gain
ed such headway that the tire de
partment was helpless and the build
ing was a mass of flames almost be
fore the guests had escaped. For
tunately only a few people were in
the building at the time and no lives
Were lost. Several spectacular res
cues were made by the firemen and by
volunteers.
In spite of the efforts of the tire
department the flames jumped from
one building to another and were on
ly checked when the buildings in the
path of the fire demon were oon-i
sumed. The fire burned every build- |
ing front the big hotel to the beach, j
