prevent overcapitalization of corpora

FOUND DEAD IN

Son Of James Il. Moore, Head
Of Extensive Interests.
.DEATHPROBABLY NATURAL

While the Young Man Is Believed to
Have Succumbed to Heart Disease
an Investigation Will Be Made by
the Police Department-Deceas
Was a Lavish Spender and Was
Well Known Along New York's
"white Way"
Chicago, Jan. 1 Heir to the vast
estate Of his father, James Hobart
Moore, who, with his brother, w. H.
Moore, controls the great Rock Island
railroad system, the Diamond Match
company and other extensive corpora
tions, Nathaniel Ford Moore, twenty
six years old and only three years a
bridegroom, lies dead, having been
found lifeless at levee resort.
He apparently died Of heart disease
and the young woman inmate who
discovered the body, as we'll as Vic
toria Shaw, owner of the resort, were
closed forthwith.
One of the most pitiful incidents in
the tragedy is the manner in which it
was received by Mrs. Moore. The
body was taken first to Jordan's un.
dertaking establishment From there
a group of police officials, accom-.
panied by representative of the un-
dertaking company, went to the Lake
Shore drive to acquaint Mrs. Moore
with the facts. She swooned and has
been under the care of physicians
since. Mrs: Moore was formerly Miss
Helen Fargo of the family of the we'll
known Fargos of New York.
Meant to Begin at Bottom.
While living at the Lasalle hotel,
1ncurring daily living expense of at
least $50, Moore announced his inten.
tion of entering the service of the
Rock Island railroad and working up
Following this came the announce.
ment that he had been engaged in the
shop for $40 a month.
Perhaps the most startling enter.
tanning episode that the young man
ever figured in was dinner he gave
in 1907 to fifteen couples in Rector's
in New York. Diamond sleeve but.
tons and necklaces of pearls we're the
favors for his men and women friends.
The cost of the dinner was estimated
at $4,000 and took rank with the
famous banquet of James Hazen Hyde.
It was his twenty-third birthday ami
versary celebration.
"Nat' Moore first became known
from his early display of skill at golf
when he wasr,a member of the Lake
Geneva Country club. "-- H..
On young Moore's twenty-6rst birth
day his father, the capitalist, placed
$750,000 under his plate at birthday
party. Young Moore was lavish
spender and was known far better
along Broadway in New York than in
Chicago.

TO PROBE HIGH
COST OF LIVING
Congress Likely to Order
an Investigation.
PUBLIC DEMANDS INQUIRY

vanced Cost of the Necessaries OF
Life Now Pending in the Senate ano
House-RevoIt Against Existing Con
ditions Said to Be Widespread.
Washington, Jan. 1 There is tt
be an investigation by congress into
the reasons for the advanced cost of
the necessaries of life. Few of the
leaders of congress want the investi
cation, hut the pressure of public SEN
timent cannot be withstood.
Independent Republicans and Demo
Gratis have made the assertion that the
tariff and combinations are responsi
BILE for the increase which has out
stripped the raise in wages. Repub.
lican leaders stoutly assert the trou-
BILE is due to the laws of supply and
demand-that the production of the
farm has not kept pace with the con
sumption of the city.
The people are not satisfied with
explanations. They want the reasons
They point to the desertion of the
farms of the East as an argument
against the prosperity of the farmer
under ruling high prices and talk OF
the discomfort with political conditions
existing in the great agricultural
states of the Middle West as evidence
that some one other than the pro-
ducer is reaping the profits from food
products.
Four resolutions for Investigations
into the increased cost of living are
pending in congress. Senators Elkins
of West Virginia and Crawford of
South Dakota, both Republicans, have
introduced them in the senate; Rep.
resentatives Howland, Republican, and
Hull, Democrat, have presented them
to the house. Each of these resolu.
tions has been held up by the powers
that be because the question is charged
with political dynamite.
Consumers Are Organizing.
A national league of consumers is
being organized in Washington to boy
colt dealers in food products the
prices of which have been forced to
what is considered exorbitant. The
women of the country are to be en-
rolled as members of this league and
the fight is to be carried into the 25,-
100000 homes of the country. It is
promised the first fight shall come on
beef.
President Taft has become alarmed
over the growing national revolt
against living conditions that are rob-
bing the savings banks and sounded
warning note against extravaganza
in domestic expenditures in his an
nual message. Every agency of the
government has been pressed into
service to gather statistics to show
that his diagnosis of the public i'll is
correct. He says the country is civ
ing in the automobile age," which
means that luxury and fast living is
the order.
Secretary James Wilson of the de-
partment Of agriculture has diverted
his thousands of agents in the field to
gather statistics as to the selling
prices in various localities of all COM
mon food products. Mr.. Wilson be-
lieves there are not sufficient farmers
to produce all the food needed by the
consumers-that the urban population
is outstripping the productive capacity
