up the contests in these States. Fox
says for tie benefit OF his members;
Missouri; The license forces have

Washington. April S.--A limit of one year should be put on the use or colu storage for the purpose of maintaining or advancing prices artificially. rms is the judgment of the senate cost or living committee, and Chairman Lodge introduced in the senate bill to meet the recommendations.
 In presenting the bill Senator Lodge said:
 Under the resolution of the senate the committee to inquire into wages and prices of commodities was gwen authority to make commentators In pursuance cf that authority the committee now desires to recommend to the senate legislation limiting the time perishable food may be held ln cold storage.
 4 Question of Public Health.
 "From such investigation as the com mittee has thus far been able to make, it is satisfied that some limit ought to be put on the use of cold storage for the purpose of maintaining or ad- yancing prices artificially. It is of the opinion that this limit of time will tend to an equalization of prices, and in some cases 10 a reduction.
 "The investigation of this subject by the Department of Agriculture is not completed, but it has proceeded far enough to confirm by the results thus far obtained the view taken by the committee.
 The question of the public health is not within the jurisdiction of your committee, but it has no doubt, how ever. that limitation on storage would be hygienically of very great value and would tend to check many physical troubles which are believed to be attributable to the practice oi keeping meats, particularly, in stor age for very long time"
 Would Extend Investigation.
 The committee also asked the sen ate for instructions in the matter ol continuing the investigation into the cost of living. It was estimated thai four months would be required to com plete the work and that 1t would neces sitate an expenditure of s65,0O0. The outline of the suggested plar was in great detail It calls for state ments to be obtained from forty buy DTS in selected localities coyerlna prices paid to producers of foodstuf4 and live stock from 1900 to 1910 the wholesale and retail prices and wages and salaries and the cost of machiner, entering into food production.

THE CANAL TO USE MUCH STEEL Locks for Big Panama Ditch Win Require Enormous ouanti-
 ties of the Metal.

Washington, April 7.--Some idea of the enormous amount of steel which VIII be necessary in the construction Of the locks of the Panama canal is gained from an order which has just been placed by the canal commission t is the largest single order for steel ever made by the commission and calls for about 5S,000 tons of steel parts which wiss be used in the construc ton of the 46 mitering lock gates, ol two leaves each, at the Gatum, Pedro Miguel and Mirafores locks.
 Ii is estimated that if all the leaves should be piled one on top of the other they would be one and one-ffth mile, high.

PATTON PlNCHEO IN COTTON
Chicago specuIstor is Said to Have Lost $500, ,ooo by the Sudden
 shrinkage of Prices.

Chicago, April S.-That the sudden shrinking of cotton prices cost James A. Patten s500.0O0 is reported by ex- change members, few of whom fig1 ured in the crash in a much less spectacular degree.
 It is not believed that Patten's loss will exceed this amount, but it is doubt less sufficient to carry some satisfac- ton to the Manchester cotton mon, who recently "booed" Patten from the Manchester cotton exchange on the visit to England.
 The heavy rains In the South and a reported combiHer of Liverpool and New York spectators against the Pat ten crowd are the attributed causes of the brokers losses. Should the mar. ket continue to decline Patten's losses may amount to figure above tho half million mark,
