BATTLE IS BEGUN
FOR FREE DELIVERY
. IN THE NORTHWEST
Merchants North of Florida
Avenue Join Against
Railroad Fees.

Preparations to resist abolishment OF
extra fees for delivering freight north
of Florida avenue are being made to-
day by traffic managers of the Penn

roads.
Notices Of the suit of Ceasar E. Ca
sassa, a confectioner, at 3142 Fourteenth

Commerce Commission, to secure free
freight delivery in Mt. Pleasant. were
received today by the two defendant
railroads

his fight for free delivery by the Co.

the free delivery boundary was esta5-
lished years ago to include practlcally

Mount Pleasant is essentially resi-
dence and not business section, says
Mr.. Wight, while the free delivery dis
trict in Georgetown includes factories
and other industries"
Increased cost of living" in the rail-
road business is also ascribed IS
defense of the railroads to the suit,
declaring operating expenses ot de-
livery have greatly increased in re-
cent years.
That return freight is received from
Georgetown and not from Mt. Pleasant
sections is also cited by the railroads as
a reason why extra charges for deliver
les snould be male TO persons north OF
Florida avenue.
Mr.. Casassas suit followed many In
formal complaints, alleging unjust dis
crimina lion against the northern
merchants, fighting for equal delivery
privileges with Georgetown competitors.
Suggestion to file a formal complaint
against the railroads was received by
Mr.. Cassassa from, Commissioner Jnd-

TRIPLE SEARCH ON
TO SOLVE DEATH Of
LUMBER MAGNATE
Murder, Suicide, or Accident
May Have Ended Life of
G.. w. Allen.

CHICAGO. Sept. 23.-Through three
Investigations instituted by the
coroner, the police and United States
today to clear up the mystery Of the
death of Charles w. Allen, Of Kenoshs, 1,
Wis, multi millionaire, and founder Of
the Leather trust. whose body was
found late yesterday in an air shaft in

because Of the activity of Allen in the
case of his brother. Nathan Allen.
another Kenosha millionaire, indicted
for alleged participation in the cele-
brated Jenkins jewel-smuggling case.
Determined efforts will be made to
ascertain whether the millionaire COM
mitted suicide. whether his death was
the result of an accidental fall, or
whether as many believe, he was
thrown from the window.
The inquest will not be held until
next Wednesday, to give the forces at
work ample opportunity to unravel the
mystery.
Relatives Of the dead man. in Ke-
rosha, declared their belief that while
leaning backward in, his chair Allen
slipped and fell from the window. De-
tectlyes declare the window was so
high as to prevent such a possibility.
There are rumors that the dead man
was thrown from the window by enc
mics, but these have not been verified.
Charles Aliens personal fortune was
estimated at $5,000,0dO.

Advocates Army Plan for
Civilian Employees of
Uncle Sam.
MIDDLEMAN MUST
BE ELIMINATED
If Lunchroom in Each Department,
Why Not Property Clerk
in Each?
By JOHN SNURE.

Peering over the top OF great
brea stwoIk Of letters Of congratula-
tions, DR.. Harvey Wiley, vlndicated
chief of the Bureau OF Chemistry,
talked today about how to solve the
cost of living and various other prob
lens.
Admitting the grave seriousness of
the increasing cost of living, Dr. Wiley
declared the problem must be solved b.
elimination of the needless middlemen
and by bringing the producer and con-
sumner closer together. Purchasing Of
supplies from the public storehouses.
DIR. Wiley advocates. 70 give relief to
the civilian employees of the Govern
ment in Washington, and he says that
q similar system Of public supply can
be worked out elsewhere.
Cost of Living Problem.
What would you 10 to solve the cost
of living question:" DR.. Wiley was
asked
Il will tell you what l would do so
far as Washington is concerned. l
would arrange 1t so that the civilian en-
ployes of the Government could have
public stores at which they could pur-
chase their necessary household sup-
plies, just as is done with the army and
navy. Public lunch rooms are run in
each department. Why cannot we say
to the property clerk in each depart
ment, you keep in store everything that
the average family needs to use and sell
1t at cost plus the necessary expense
of handling. The army does that and
the navy, and l don't see why 1t can't
be done in civil life. That would show
the value of cooperation of the cut
ting out of the middlemen and the ad-
yantages to be derived from the pro-
ducer and the consumer being brought
closer together. The sole solution of
this question is to bring the producer
and the consumer closer together. There
must be cooperation, but cooperation
with direction. Voluntary cooperation
is a failure.
Expects Opposition.
Every city in the question has a sup
ply bureau and there is no question
that this could be broadened into a de-
pot of supply. Now of course, this
idea will be jumped on by every whole
saler and every retailer. But that is
not the question. The question is how
are we going to get at this problem in
a sensible way and solve II.

WILSON PLANS TO
TRACE SOURCE Of
THE COST O. LIVING
Secretary Plans to Ascertain
Who Is Getting the
Big Profits. -,

In an effort to ascertain "who gets the
profits" the Department Of Agriculture
has made tentative plans for an inves-
tigation of the retail price Of foodstuffs,
and Washington, with its army OF vital
ly interested GovenmefiA.. employees,
probably will be the base for initial in
quiry.
Should Congress approve of and ap-
propriate for the investigation, which
Secretary Wilson has had in mind for
some time, the departments figures
probably will take in many Of the larger
cities, and the ramif1cations of the in
quiry will extend to the farm itself,
where the produce originates.
The ultimate consumer seems an
inquisitive soul and the department
wants to be in position. to tell him
why and how he pays this price and
that for his vegetables. meats and
eggs.
There Is a well-defined impression
around the department and through
out the country, too. that there is
quite a discrepancy between what
the farmer gets for his produce and
what II costs the housewife when 1t
is finally delivered on the dumb ele-
vator or at the back door.
Somebody seems to be raking on
handsome profit Uncle Sam is In
position to furnish quite a bit of
general information, but. until there
is an investigation, he can supply no
detailed information as to the profits
Of the middle man and the transpor-
tation companies.
The investigation Is of peculiar inter-
est to Washingtonians, many of whom
are Government employees. These en-
ployes are struggling along some way on
salaries that were in vogue thirty and
forty years ago. when trusts were in
their infancy and when food. was cheap.
II is thought that as soon as Secre-
tarv Wilson returns 10 Washington he
will nut his plans in concrete form.
