FOOD PRICES TOO HIGH.
But the Farmer Is Not Getting the
Profits.

Washington. Jan. 3.-"We have al
ready discovered that the farmer is not
getting the exorbitant profits out of the
beef he raises said Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson, in discussing the high
prices Of food supplies today.
Il have no doubt" he continued, that
the same conditions prevail in most
other lines of farm products.
THE department of agriculture has
agents in every state and every country
and they have been ordered to report
on the cost of production and the re-
turns on sales OF food products AS
fast as we receive these figures we will
compare them with the prices the same
products bring in the cities where they
are consumed. We will then make the
facts public.
We intend to bring out the truth, ir-
respective of whom it hurts or whom it
benefits. I am convinced that the pub
lie is compelled to pay a great deal
more for nearly everything it eats than
it should.
There is, however, ample excuse for

The story told by Mrs. Jackson to
the prosecuting attorney at the time
of the negroes arrest few days later,
proved so revolving that it caused in
tense excitement and it was feared
lynching might be attempted, al
though no open threats had been
made.
To safeguard the prisoners, specta-

court room and a heavy guard of dep

building and lined the walls of the
room.
A jury was secured promptly. To
save Mrs. Jackson as much embar-
rassment as possible she was given a
seat directly in front of the jurymen
and permitted to tell her story in a
low tone.
Two negro attorneys appeared to
defend the prisoners. The prisoners
expressed a desire to enter pleas OF

they did so, whereat they decided to

tonight as a result of the expiosior :.
according to Mr.. Treleaven.

was no damage to the pipe lines as
result of the explosion. The gas this
afternoon was still coming through,
but because of the absence of the

gas will go low
The report from Kansas City was
from the new manager of the kansas
Natural Gas company, A. B. Mac
