for the decrease it obviously is due
to the high price of grain and the

WHY MEAT AND BUTTER ARE HIGH

An agricultural department bulletin
gives some figures which throw some
light on the reason for the high cost
of meat and butter. The bulletin
compares the number of livestock on
farms and ranges in the United States
at the beginning of 1912 with the pre-
vious year. Between the two periods
the number of mich COWS decreased
124, OOO;' cattle decreased 2,419, 900;

AUTO|STS HELD
FOR GRAND JURY
Police Evidence, Purely Circum-
stantial, Must Be Strengthened
in Death Car" Probe.
FIVE MEN RELEASED
ON REAL ESTATE BOND

Ambrose Smoot, William Clarence
Woodburn, Spencer CarTico, Raymond
Hitch, and DR.. Frederick D. Chappelier.
prominent young citizens of Hughes
willie, Charles County, Md, who yester-
day were held by a coroner's jury for
the action of the grand jury as occu-
pants of the so-called death car
which ran down and killed Charles
Satterfield, a paperhanger, at Pennsyl-
vania Avenue and Fifteenth Street
Southeast on Friday night, were re-
leased under bond last night and at
once returned with friends and relatives
to the little Maryland town where they
live.
Ambrose Smoot, twenty-three years
old, the clerk accused of being at the
steering wheel of the auto when ii
crushed Satterfield, was given his lib
erty under 5000 bond. Each OF the
other four 'men, accused of being pas
sengers in the auto, were released under
s., 800 bond. The bond was furnished by
George w. Ray, a Georgetown banker.
Real estate security was required in the
case of each of the accused men. The
bond was furnished shortly after the
coroner's jury reached a verdict.
Four detectives and two policemen tes-
titled at the inquest and presented all
the evidence gathered by the Police De-
partment. AS police officials were not
certain that the jury would hold the ac-
cused men. every bit of evidence gath
cred was presented, in order that the
prisoners might be held for the grand
jury. The evidence of the police. purely
circumstantial, will have to be greatly
strengthened, II is said, before a grand
jury will return indictments.
For this reason Maj. Sylvester has di-
rected Inspector Robert H. Boardman.
chief OF detectives, to detail a squad OF
plain clothes men to the work of obtain
ing new and, il possible, direct evidence
against the alleged occupants Of the
death car" Police officials candidly ad-
NIT that they do not hope to procure a
conviction of the five men on the some
what fimsy evidence thus far collected.
Although Maj. Sylvester offered re-
ward of $50 for the information leading
to the arrest Of the person or persons in
the car which killed Satterfield, 1t is not
likely that the police department will be
asked to pay the reward.
The information on which the five
young men of Hughesville were arrested
came from several sources and in such
a way that no one has just claim to
the reward, according to the police.
Police officials feel that the arrest Of
the five Marylanders will have the effect
of warning autoists against leaving in
the streets any person who has been
knocked down by their machine. TT
is the intention Of the department to
make every effort to break up such prac
tices,'' said one official, land any autoist
who runs down a person and drives
away VIII be sought by the members OF
this department as q murderer would be

EASTERN TACKLES

White.
GAME STARTS AT $50 O'CLOCK

Eastern High school is the choice for
ern rivals in the sixth game Of the
interhigh school series, at Union Lea
que Park this afternoon at $50. This
statement Is based wholly on the pre-
sumption that the Red and White
eleven can hardly bolster up enough to
Withstand the unified attack and sterl-
ing defense which the gritty Capitol Hill
team has displayed In its two previous
affairs.
Eastern. though a very light team. has
pleased the followers Of the high school
sport this fall by, its style OF play and
has demonstrated stamina and skill on
both occasions. when she lost to Central
after a hard fought encounter and also
when the heavier Business eleven sue
cumbed TO its more effective adversary
last week, 9 to o. There is every reason
to believe that the Eastern club will
come through with a comfortable mar
gin and according to figures should gain
victory by at least two touchdowns.
On the other hand. Western has Ia
bored under severe handicaps during the
greater part of the season. To begin
with, 1t started the year with not a great
deal Of experienced or heavy material.
Under the circumstances the coaches and
players have borne up well under adverse
conditions. and have made the best of
the available material Although they
enter to-day's game with full expecta-
tions OF giving the Eastern outfit a hard
tussel. they are not Overconfident Of win
ming. but will endeavor to stave on the
efforts Of Capt. Cohilrs stirdy band.
