tire time Of the house today in the con
sideration of a bill TO amend the census

ing establishments and Of hides pro-
duced in such establishments,
Mr.. Crumpacker of Indiana explained
that this amendment was TO give ac-

speculation,

THE TWO PROBLEMS
Both Senate and House Will
Make Careful Investigation
Through Committees.
INQUIRY PLANNED TO
BE BROAD IN SCOPE
Has Rate of Pay Kept Pace
With Necessary Expenses
Is Question.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-TWO inde-
pendent Investigations into the high
cost of living will be conducted by
committees of the senate and house. The
first step toward the proposed inquiry
in the senate was taken today when
Senator Lodge presented a resolution
providing for il. The resolution was
INTRODUCED at the interstate commerce
commission, which insures its adoption.
1t provides for committee of five.
The inquiry will include an investi-
ga ton into the cost of the neccssaries
Of life, with an especial view TO de
termining whether there has been an
increase during the last ten years. 1t
is also directed that ii shall cover the
question of wages with view TO ascer-
tanning whether there has been an in
crease.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on finance. which Will report
it back promptly. The house inquiry
Will be conducted by the ways and
means committee.
Reason for Haste.
Frankly admitting fear that pro
longed investigation Of the increased
cost of living by the WAYS and means
committee of the house, or as provided
by any rival resolution. might drag
throughout the summer and work to the
disadvantage of Republicans in elcc
tions next fall, the senate finance com
mittee today formulated a progra mmc
for quick, sharp inquiry.
This important question was conSid~
cred by Republican members of the com.
mittee. and as a result Senator Lodge
introduced in the senate resolution
providing for the appointment of a com
mittce OF five senators to do the work
Suggestion was made that the pro-
posed investigation by the ways and
means committee of the house would
accomplish every purpose. but the res.

WARR|NER FAST IN
TOLLS OF A WOMAN
Convicted Embezzler Paid One.
Fourth of Money He Stole to
Mrs. Ford and Friend.
ADMITS WOMAN HAD
HIM IN HER POWER
Evidence That She Was In
fatuated With Friend Of the
Convicted Thief.

CINCINNATI. o., Feb. 2.--About
onc-fourth of the $643 900 that Charles
L. Warriner, defaulting local treasurer
Of the Big Four railroad. confessed to
have cmbczzled, was paid by HIM to
Mrs. Jeanette Stewart Ford and Ed
gar s. Cooke of Chicago, according
to WARMERS testimony today IN the
trial of Mrs Ford for blackmai.
The witness said that in the seven
wears he was cmbezzling funds OF the
railroad he had been paving approx.
matcly $1,000 month 10 both Cooke
and Mrs Ford. and declared that, so
far rs he knew, Mrs. Ford bad been
unaware that he was short i'll hls ac
counts.
According TO WarrIncr, he paid
blackmail to Mrs. Ford because she
knew Cooke had been short in his ac'
counts when he left the Big -Four ser
vice, and that when Warrlner had sue
ceeded him he had concealed this
shortage.
Not Accusing Friend
1t became apparent that Warmer
has 10 intention OF accusing his
ouopdom friend, Cooke, of blackmaij,
The witness repeatedly declared that
Cooke never had eXtorted money from
him, but that he had supplied HIM with
funds for the sole purpose OF keeping
Mrs, Ford quiet, as he asserted she was
equally dangerous to both of them,
Warriner admitted that he had given
large sums to Mrs. Cooke, but he main
tained that she had never asked HIM
for money, and SAID that the only
reason he helped her aud her children
wae because "they were the only ones
I felt any moral obligation 10 assist,
Warriner appears TO cnloy his cross

Either turkeys In this territory are

but he has a big stock on hand
and was not getting many from farm
