ABSOLVES THE BEEF TRUST
Chicago Educator BIames Retailers
for Hiuh Prices,

Chicago, Nov. 30.-The beef trust
has been specifically absolved from
responsibility for high prices of meat
by Professor J. Laurence Laughlin
head of the political economy depart
ment of the University of Chicago
The professor, in an interview, de-
clared the blame rests with the re-
tailers.
'They seem to have a sort of under
standing among themselves that prices
shall be high and prices are higher
accordingly. At wholesale meat sells
now for just about what it did twelve
or fourteen years ago."
Professor Laughlin admitted that
existing price conditions are partially
due to the trusts, but that wheat, fo1
one thing, is higher in price not be
cause of manipulation by bulls or
bears, but because of the increase in
our population, with which the pro
duction of wheat has not kept pace.

MILITARY RULE VIOLATED

Well Established Precedent Is That
Army Officers Shall Not Discuss
Publicly Any Policies Of the Admin.
istration-Command Of the De.
partment of the Lakes Said to Have
Justified zeIaya's Action.
Washington, Nov. 30.-The late
President U. s. Grants son, General
Frederick Dent Grant, commanding
the department of the Lakes, with
headquarters in Chicago. may find
himself in hot water as the result of
his reported utterances on the subject
of the state departments demand
upon President Zelaya of Nicaragua
for reparation for the execution of the
two Americans, Cannon and Groce.
There appears to be growing i'm
preston in official circles that the
general is getting his personal opin-
ions into the limelight to degree
not compatible with his position in
the military branch of the govern
ment.
Officials connected with the state
department Intimate that they cou-
slider entirely unwarranted the gen.
erals reported comment that this gov
ernment will have
No Valid Claim for Reparation
against Zelaya in case 1t is found that
Cannon and Groce were insurrection-
lists.
General Grant is reported to have
said If they we're insurrectionists Ze-
laya had a right under international
law to treat them as belligerents and
deal with them as he saw fit.
General Grant was last in the lime
light because of his participation In
the big temperance parade in Chicago,
to which objection was made by the
United societies. He satisfied the
secretary of war with his explanation
that he appeared in his personal and
not his official capacity.
There Is a we'll defined rule that
military officers shall not comment
publicly on policies of the administra-
tion. It is possible, according to what
has been intimated by state depart
ment officials, that this rule will be
called to the attention of General
Grant.

MORE MONEY THAN
VOTED SPENT BY
SCHOOL BOARD
EXCEEDS APPROPRIATION FOR
TEACHERS SALARIES BY $1,000
A MoNTH-cOUNciL COMMIT.
TEE oUiZzEs OFFICIALS.

That the school board is, at the
present time. exceeding its appropria-
ton for teachers was one OF the reye-
lations made In the session held In
Supt Martindale's office. Saturday
morning. In which the members OF
the council claims and accounts com
mittee Quizzed the school officials.
Last year a total OF $4,000 per
month was allowed for teachers. This
year $135.500 per month Is asked. In
answer to the pointed question OF the
aldermen, Supt. Martindale submitted
payrolls TO show that the board Is
now spending nearly 10000 per
month for teachers. That this can be
done is due to the surplus OF primary
school moneys from the state over
the estimated receipts from that
source.
The session was largely cross-ex-
the city fathers. Attention was called
to the appropriation asked OF $4,000
for an eight-room school to replace
the Firnane on Fortst. east. Not
long ago, $4,000 was asked for To-
IOOu SCuOOl W IcpldCc Oiu OhS'
The aldermen wanted to know why
costs had increased so much, but did
not get any very specific information.
Aid. Lempke argued I'm favor OF a
new school to replace both the Fir
name and the Jackson and II was final
ly agreed that. IL any appropriation at
all is allowed. II Will be for a school
big enough TO supersede the two.
The meaning OF the $4,000 asked
for retaining wall in the Central
high school was brought out when the
school officials explained that this
wall would be about six feet In height
and would allow OF the construction
OF a football field With this, the Cen
trail teams would not have TO rent a
field. In which to play games. The
aldermen rather baked on the $4,000
for this purpose, however.
Another meeting of this committee
will be held next week to whip the
estimates into final shape
Monday there will be five committee
meetings The grade separation, sew
ers, markets and street opening com
mittees will consider their respective
funds, while the judiciary committee
will consider the court funds.
Tuesday, the ways and means com
mittee will finish with the police fund
and. Wednesday, the streets commit
tee will go out again on the repaving
and resurfacing jobs asked for.
