SOUTH HOLDS THE
KEY TO LOWER PRICES

New York, Jan. 26.-The south holds
the key to lower food prices. accord
ing to Gov. Malcolm Patterson of Ten
nessee. who Is in New York. When
asked for his solution of the problems
presented by the higher cost of living,
Gov. Patterson said:
I'VE are not feeling the pinch as
nearly as much in the south as you are
up here. The principal reason is the
plentifulness and productiveness of our
land. There Is no congestion of popula-
ton In the south What we most
need is an increase in population.
III method could be devised where
by millions Of the poorer sections of
the cast could be scattered over the
agricultural lands the problem Of ex-
ceSsive cost of living would soon be
solved.
Il hope soon to see an organized
movement led by able and practical
men to scatter the people back to the
soil. Our vast domain is yet unde-
veloped, There Is where the fortunes
OF the future are to be made Any
the work of man Will find profitable
employment and an open road to in
dependence.
sour land. though better than most
western land. is cheaper because the
demand has never been stimulated by
the use of subsidies for railroads. as in
the west, which has been settled and
developed through the necessity OF the
great railroad corporations to entlce
population to occupy their lands"

POLICE OFFICERS "PEsTERED. "
Two Women Would Like to Ferret
Crime.

Chief of Police Barlow and Lieut..
Shannon have been ''pestered to death"
during the past few days by two wom-
en- who insist they are the greatest fe-
male detectives on this mundane sphere,
and they are making life burden to
the police officers by insisting that they
be given employment. The insulation
on the telephone wires has been nearly
burned off, and the arms of Chief Bar
low and Lieut.. Shannon ache from
holding the receivers to their ears.
On Monday of this week. a tall. angu-
lar woman in black" invaded Chief
Barlow's office and held him there for
on hour while she unfolded to him
schemes whereby all the lawbreakers
from New York to San Francisco could
be captured and placed behind the bars.
She declared that she was the only true
and original female gum shoe artist OF
the century All she wanted wn-s a
chance-and some money.
While the woman was trying to I'M
press upon Chief Barlow her ability In
the slcuthlng line, Lieut.. "Dick" Shan
non was having his troubles over the
telephone by another female Nick Car
ter.
The latter knew of all sorts of plots
and conspiracies. ranging from petit
larceny TO kidnapping and dynamlting.
She said she proposed TO invade Com
mercinl street and suggested that half
a dozen officers go with her as escort
Now really madam" said Shannon.
"if you are going to be the simon pure
detective. you would not want to be
seen with lot of policemen as all the
crooks would suspect who you are"
us that SOP" asked the woman. II
never thought OF that. Is that tho
way they do? Well, / would of course
go heavily disguised by veil because
IL my husband found 1t out, he would
no doubt be angry"
mo doubt" quoth "Dick" Shannon.
After conversing for about an hour
Shannon informed the woman that. IL
she had information that would lead
to the detection OF crime. and that IL
anything came OF 1t. In all probability
the department would be able to re-
compense her. but he suggested that
she wait until called for.

GRAND JUR|ES TAKE
UP PEOPLES FIGHT
In Twenty-Five Counties Will be
Asked to Investigate High
Price of Meat.
TO UNCOVER CoNSPIRACIEs.
Conference of District Attorneys to be
Held to Map Out Plan of
Campaign.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 26-Twenty-five
grand Jurles from as many counties in
western Pennsylvania will be asked
through their respective district attor-
neys to take up the Investigation of
high prices of meat by Dist Atty. w.
A. Blakley of Allegheny county. Mr..
blakley began last night the prepara-
ton of letter to the district attor-
neys of other counties, in which he
invites them TO q conference in Pitts
burg to map out plan of exchanging
evidence and thus throw out a dragnet
over this section of the state, by which
it Is expected several conspiracy cases
could be developed
AIR Blakley says the dragnet would
undoubtedly find some pieces of evi-
dence that would assist the district at
torneys of Westmoreland Fayette, But
Ter. Beaver, Lawrence and Washing
ton counties, and they in turn would
likely discover trails leading into Ale
gheny county. At the conference of
district attorneys that Mr.. Blakley is
arranging, program will be mapped
out for the grand juries to follow. Food
products could be followed from the
producer to the consumer, showing
what happens in the way of price in
hation as 1T passed through various
stages. Atty. Jordan stands ready to
use the federal grand jury to hunt out
the conspirators and the cooperative
district attorneys scheme would un-
doubtedly bring him the clew for which
he is waiting. The branches of the
western packing houses are scattered
throughout the various counties and
they may be doing something In one
county they are not doing in another.
