WILSON SAYS HIGH PRICES
DUE TO LACK OF LABORERS

Washington, July 24.-on Mr.. Pat
ten and his wheat squeeze in Chicago
Secretary Wilson comments as fol-
lows:
"That is gambling, and while it
can do the country no good it cannot
have any permanent effect on food
prices. The real trouble is, that the
farmer can't get help to raise crops"
He added:
while the population of the Uni
ted States has been steadily increas-
ing through the usual additions at
home and from immigration, the cul-
tivated area of the country is decreas-
ing. Thousands of acres formerly
raising products that made the food
of the country have gone back to pas
turage. The farmers simply cannot
get men to raise crops.
THE city draws not only the la
borer who might go to the farm, but
the boy raised on the farm. Outside
the fascination of bright lights,
amusement and the excitement of
mingling with people, there are the
shorter hours and better pay. The
farmer has doubled his wages in the
last 15 years, but the farmer in his
busy season must work 16 hours
day while in the city eight hours has
become the rule.
"The government bureau of infor-
nation under the department of COM
merce and labor is valuable and ca
pable of great development. 1t would
seem to be a wise policy to get the

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
WILL TOUR AMERICA

New York.-It is now fully be-
/ lieved that George Bernard Shaw,
| the Irish playwright, whose creations
have caused much comment in this
country and abroad in the last few
years, will visit America before the
year is out A brief cablegram was
received from ]. Eads How, head OF
the Interior Association Of the I'm
employed, saying that Mr.. Shaw was
surely coming to America. Mr.. How,
who is known as the millionaire ho-
bo," went to London especially to
interest Mr. Shaw in the cause of the
unemployed and to obtain from him,
if possible, promise to visit this
country in their behalf.
Charles Frohman, the theatrical
manager, has just returned from Eu-
rope, and announces that Shaw is
coming, but Mr.. Frohman mentions
only the authors interest in the COM
ing production of several of his plays.
The plan to have Shaw visit America
has included a lecture tour of wide
range. It has been planned to have
him speak in the principle cities oe
the country, devoting several weeks to
the larger cities and extending the
campaign through to the Pacific
coast. Heretofore all efforts to en-
list Shaw in moral or socialistic
crusade in this country have faoed.

Jay Gould. by a decision of Justice
Bowling in the supreme court With
the exception Of alimony. her victory
was complete. but in this phase OF
the case the court decided that $4,000
a year was sufficient. although in her
suit Mrs. Gould asked for S25O.OOO.
She had been receiving $4,000 a year
from Mr.. Gould so that the amount
fixed by the court is but slight in

that Robert E. Eastnssn either killed

declaration Of States Attorney Taylor
that he was through with the case. the
strange dual tragedy which has for
nearly a week focused the eyes OF
the entire country upon this little out

incident.
Four of the twelve jurors who lis

until the words "or accessory to the

approved by the majority, bluntly ac-
cused Eastman of the murder. None or
the four dissenting jurymen would
say that any other person than East
man was responsible for the girls
death. They merely wished to protest,
they said. against the manner In which
the inquiry was conducted, declaring
that much available evidence was not
adduced.
There was no evidence to show that

And the final theory OF the authori-

That Eastman was in need of mon
