LIGHT TURNED ON
SECRETARY WILSON IN ANNUAL
REPORT BLAMES COLD SToR.
AGE FOR HIGH PRICES.
ASKS FOR WAREHOUSE DATA
Cabinet Member Would Have Reports
Made SO That the Public Might
Judge of Future Cost of Food Com.
modlties.

Washington.-In his annual report
Secretary Wilson OF the agricultural
department asks this pertinent ques-
ton: The consumer pays one dollar
for food; the farmer gets less than
fifty cents of 1t. Who gets the restY"
The secretary does not attempt to
answer 1t. He does explain, in some
detail, the results of an investigation
his department has just made into
the effect of cold storage on the
wholesomeness and cost of food. HIS
investigation leads him TO recommend
publicity for the amount OF food IN
cold storage, just as the department
now gives publicity to the condition
of crops from month to month.
Instead of food remaining in stor-
age for longer than year or two
years, as rule, the secretary de
clares that his investigation showed
that receipts into cold storage are
entirely or very nearly exhausted by
the deliveries out Of cold storage
within ten months"
Long storage is the exception, the
secretary asserts. WarehousemeH
explained to the department that ex-
cessively long storage was due to law
suits and other circumstances Of an
uncommercial nature. The cost OF
storage, including storage charge, in"
terest and insurance, is considered as
a barrier to long storage.
Cold storage, the secretary reports.
has raised the cost of living by in
creasing the annual price level for
butter and eggs.
/ He refers to IAN apparent mistake"
Of the storage men in overestimating
the consumption of eggs by the public
at exorbitant prices last winter with
the result that in the spring the stor'
age men had to sell eggs at remarka'
ly low prices and send abroad the
largest amount of eggs ever exported
in order to get rid of the supply. The
secretary declares that the warehouse
men ought to be required to send to
Washington each month the amount
of commodities placed in storage SO
that the public may be able to Judge
OF the future trend of prices.
The department announces that the
corn crop is moving northward by
seed selection.
The American systems of renting
land are declared to be faulty.
Poultry products for the past year
are estimated to have been worth
$3.50, ,00O,O 900.

MINE SANK MAINE
NAVAL BOARD THAT EXAMINED
7ATTLEsHIP WRECK GIVES
OUT ITS FINDINGS.
BLOWN UP FROM OUTSIDE
Exterior Blast Explodes Large Amount
of Black Powder Contained In
Magazines, Causing Destruction OF
Vessel and Loss of Life.

Washington.-The United States
battleship Maine, which was sunk In
Havana harbor in February, 1898, as
the result OF an explosion, was blown
up from the outside. This was an
nounced by the Vreeland board, which
has been examining the wreck for
several months, in a statement given
out by the navy department.
The statement was as follows:
THE board finds that the injuries
to the bottom OF the Maine were
caused by the explosion Of a charge OF
low form OF explosives exterior to
the ship. This resulted in igniting
and exploding the contents OF the six
inch reserve magazine, said contents
including a large quantity Of black
powder.
THE more or less complete ex'
plosion Of the contents Of the re-
naming forward magazine followed.
The magazine explosion resulted In
the destruction of the vessel"
The report was placed in the hands
of President Taft and will be care
fully reviewed by him before being
adopted.
The Vreeland boards report settles
for all time the cause of the explosion
and vindicates the findings OF the
Sampson board Immediately after the
destruction of the vessel. In the state
ment issued by the secretary 1t Is
said that while the Spanish mine did
not in itself destroy the vessel, this
undoubtedly caused the explosion ol
the ships magazines, which resulted
in the destruction Of the Maine and
the death of more than 200 American
officers and seamen.

Indianapolis, Ind.-Four men are
known to have been killed, and it is
almost certain that several others are
dead as the result of the sudden col
lapse of a three-story concrete build

Ave or thirty, were buried in the
ruins.

Briceville, Tenn.-Seven dead men
were discovered sitting upright in a
train of mine cars in Cross Entry No.
"a, two miles from the mouth of the
Cross Mountain mine. Eight torn and
mangled bodies were also removed.
Nearly 200 men remain, alive or dead,
to spur the force of heroes to further
efforts.
Hope of finding any of the victims
of the explosion alive has almost en-
tirely departed. Even the sorrow.
stricken families, keeping a lonely
vigil beside the mouth of the tomb OF
their loved ones, are despairing.
The bodies of the victims taken
out clearly showed that the force
of the explosion must have been ter.
rife, as they were battered as if
hurled against the roof or sides of the
workings.

SHERMAN ACT BLAMED
VANDERBILT SAYS BUSINESS uN-
REST is DUE TO LAW.
New York Banker Declares, However
There Is Nothing Serious IN
Present Situation.

New York-Frank A. Vanderlip,
president Of the National City bank.
In an interview published in the Out
look, declared that the hesitant and
disturbed state of mind now so uni-
versal among business men and capt.
talists is due to the chaotic situation
resulting from the attempt to adjust
business to a law"-the Sherman anti
trust law.
Mr.. Vanderlip is quoted as saying
that, judged by the data used gener-
ally In gauging business, there is
nothing very seriously wrong, az the
volume in all lines related to distrtbu-
ton of commodities is almost as large
as 1t ever has been. The consumptiVe
demand Of the nation 10 nearly up to
normal. Banking and trade IL "a

under defective banking laws" But
there are, he said, also disquiettnE
circumstances.

with industrial expansion, with CAPT
tai expenditure. with anything in fact
other than supplying the day by dag
consumptive needs Of the country. Il
prostrated," MIR. Vanderlip declared
He cites the tariff as one Of the minor
reasons for this condition, and blamed
most of the disturbance to the Sher
man law. Mr.. Vanderlip 10 opposed
to government control Of prices ex
cept as last resort.
With proper publicity Of faccounts,'
he says, and wise control Of capita
issue l believe that we should rest
for the present. We must not lei
ourselves be led hastily to do any
thing which might force us to TAKE
that step of everlasting consequence
