at which time the grand jury will sit

with the several trunks of liquor that
have been seized by the local police and
are now confiscated at headquarters.

assisted by local authorities, yesterday
continued to serve subpoenas on the j

CARD SYSTEM CUTS DOWN,
t'SE OF Sl'CAR IN FRANCS
Paris, Jun 15. T"he demand for sugar
in Paris has fallen to one-third of what
it was before, the rani system was adopt-
I. Advocates of the system conelud
from this result that the cards hav
imposed frugality. They ask for th
extensioa of the system to moat, bread,
coal and gasoline. It is asserted, how-.
ever, that this reduced demand for
sugar ia not necessarily due .to de
creased consumption. H.
Most housewives, antuipnting tha in
troduction of cards, had laid in a supply
t hat will last another month or more,
great many retail dealers, grocers,
bakers and butchers are in favor. of th
card system in preference to Treaties
dnyi and other restrictions that disturb
the routine of business. They contend
that it Is the enly effective means of
effecting real and substantial economic,
Meatless days, they sy would result isj
