LESS ACUTE.
Governor Foss' Controversy With Leg
islature May Be Settled.

Boston. June 4.-The controversy be-
tween Governor Foss and the legislature
over transportation problems was less
acute yesterday through the submission

FLOOD RELIEF COMES SLOWLY.
In the Whole Country Less Than $4,000
Subscribed.

New York, June 4.--Ernest p. Bick-
nell, national director of the American
Red Cross, who has Just returned from
an extensive tour of the southern fool
districts, states that the area Of the
submerged land is greater than Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island
combined and that the number who have
been driven from their homes by the
waters will exceed $4,000 persons
Without shelter and food, the people in
this area were compelled to flee to high
lands or else huddle on tops of high
houses to await the arrival of rescue
expeditions. Despite the appeals of the
president of the United States, the gov
ernors of states, and the mayors cf
great cities, Mr.. Bicknell points out
that the response of the public for the
relief of the flood sufferers has been IN
significant. and says that the total
amount of the funds collected in the ma
tion up to May % was less than $50
900.
Lacking the elements of surprise, sud-
den horror, or tragic DEATH Mr. Bick
nell says, "the greatest and most de-
structive food when llps ever occurred
in the Mississippi valley is command
ing little attention ftom press or pub
lie. The disaster has been progressive
and cumulative. At the confluence of
the Mississippi and OHIO river hoo.s,
the destruction began with the breaking
of levees and the submerging of popu-
lous lowlands near Cairo, III. Between
Cairo and New Orleans, more than COO
miles as the river runs, the area of sub
merged land Mr. Bieknell figures to be
about $4,000 square miles, and from this
district the 10000 people referred to
were driven to seek places of safety.

THE COST OF LIVING
TOUCHES HIGH RECORD
Food Products Average 20 Per Cent.
More Than in June Last Year
Biggest Rise in Meat.

New York. June At costs more to
live in this month OF June, 1912, than
ever before in the history OF the United
States, except, perhaps during war
time. Prices were high a year ago, but
to-day they are on the average nearly
10 per cent. higher yet according to
trade authority quotations. Food prod
ucts are the highest on record. Meat,
eggs, butter, fish, potatoes, coffee, tea,
sugar, salt, molasses, rice, beans and
peas average % per cent higher; wheat,
corn, oats, barley, -four etc, 80 per
cent. higher. Fruits are the only things
good to eat that have grown cheaper
during the last twelve months, but they
are still higher than in 1910. Leather
products cost IL per cent. and chemi-
Gals and drugs 10 per cent. more than
a year ago. Textile goods, however, are
a trifie cheaper.
The average increase in food products
is nearly 20 per cent, which means that
the housewife must pay So TO fill
market basket that only cost her IS
to FIJI in June, 1911; in other words 81
will only buy fvesixths as much IS
il did wear ago. The big--sst advances
have been in meat products-beef rs
per cent; hog products 40 per cent, and
mutton over 50 per cent. Dealers lay
the increase to last years poor hay crop
and the general high cost of animal prov
ender. Poor crops are also held respon-
sible for dearer breadstufis. Economists

DISTRICT ATTORNEY WISE
ATTACKS JUDGE ARCHIBALD
Tells House Committee Why He Held
Sentence Imposed on Wire Pool
Men Inadequate.

Washington, June 4-United States
Attorney Wise of New York, before the
House Judiciary committee yesterday,
gave his opinions of the judicial cor.
duct of Judge Robert w. Archibald Of
the commerce court in the wire pool
antitrust cases in New York last July.
Judge Archibald fined most of the eighty
odd defendants $1,000 each after they
had pleaded guilty to criminal viola
tons of the Sherman law. Mr.. Wise
expressed the view that the defendants
escaped with inadequate fines. He also
gave the committee his reasons for com
planning against the acceptance of the
nclo contendre pleas. Mr.. Wise read
from the court records and reiterated
the objections he had made then to
Judge Archbald's rulings.

Washington, june 4--The conference
report on the agricultural appropriation
bill was Unexpectedly rejected by the
Senate when the vote was taken. As

The rejection was the result of OPP

Although no opposition developed to
the Gallinger amendment, covering the

conference committee and chairman of
the committee on agriculture, and he

Asks That National Committee
Meetings be Public
ROOSEVELT TO OPPOSE ROOT
The Colonel Says Senator Represents
Reactionaries-He Asserts Taft
Has Been Repudiated by Ma
jority of His Party.

Chicago, H., June A letter from
President Taft to Chairman New of the
Republican national committee suggests
that the meeting of the national COM
mittee at which contests for seats will
be considered, be public.
The president suggested that Chair
nan New take up with the commit
tee the question of open hearings and
if the committee finds it possible, that
the deliberations over the contests be
carried on in open session.
Chairman New last night said the sug
gestion of the president will have great
weight with the committee.
This taken with the previous request
OF Col. Roosevelt for publicity Of the
contest arguments, indicates that the
doors will probably be thrown open, at
least to newspaper men, when the COM
mittee takes up contested delegates
cases Friday.
