COLD STORAGE TRUST PROBE
U. S. OFFICIALS CONCLUDE CON.
Troll is NOT NATIONWIDE.
Inclined to Blame Hen for High Prices
of Egys-Combines in Large
Cities May Prevail.

Washington, Dec. 13-After several
weeks of investigation over the United
States, officials of the department of
justice have reached the conclusion
that there is little ground 3.for belief
that nationwide cold storage trust
exists.
Every United States attorney in the
country was pressed into service for
quick survey of the cold storage field
and their reports to Washington indi-
cate that while combines have been
formed in few Of the large cities,
there is no reason to believe there is
a cold storage plant controlling the
price OF eggs and othergproducts in ali
parts of the country.
Sufficient evidence has been forth.
coming, however, to show that in some
of the cities such combinations do eX.
list and the department already has
turned it's attention to a careful scru.
tiny of the operations of cold stor
age men there. It's next step will be
to trace the lines of Interstate combi'
nation between. the dealers in these
large cities for, without connection be-
tween them across state lines the Sher.
man act would not be available and
the departments effort to bring down
the cost of living by the breaking OF
monopoly hardly would be success.

The inquiry has intended to pat the
department of justice on the side OF
the department of agriculture, placing
much of the blame for high egg and
poultry prices not on cold storage men
but on the hen. According to reports
cold storage men have suffered from
a marked lack of eggs and other prod,
ucts and the prices have gone up fol
this reason.

Washington Dec. 15.-Rear Admiral
Fletcher cabled from Tampico that he
ordered all Americans out Of the city
and that he transferred about five hun
dred who were aboard the Wheeling
and Tacoma to the battleships Fir-
einia, Rhode Island and New Jersey,
outside.
Some Men Remain.
The admiral reported that all for
eign women and children were out of
the city, but that some men preferred
to remain. He also stated that the
situation was getting worse" and
that skirmishing continued with the
Mexican gunboat Bravo Smelling the
position Of the constitutionalists.
Admiral Fletcher asked the navy de-
partment to make public announce
ment that all foreigners were safe and
that it was impossible to send personal
messages to all who have relatives on
the ships. The navy department en-
gagged the Ward liner MORO Castle,
which arrived at Tampico early Sun
day to receive such refugees as wished
to leave.
Hanged in Full View.
In full view of the American fleet
and the thousands of inhabitants Of
Tampico. Mexican federals and cOnsti-
tutionalists alike have hanged prison
ers of war. AS a result of this viola
ton of international precedent, Adj
miral Fletcher, commanding the Amer
lean forces, sent an officer ashore and
protested in the name of humanity
against the practise.
Increasing evidence that the situa-
ton at Tampico, where Mexican fed
erals and constitutionalists are in a
death grapple, is growing more serious
daily, leaked out at the navy depart
ment today Naval orders issued in a
routine way disclosed that the battle
ship New Jersey, supposed to be at
TuXpam, arrived at Tampico in the
night to reinforce Admiral F1etcher's
force Just what necessitated this
move is not known.
Marines May Be Landed.
There is a growing belief here, how.
ever, that Admiral Fletcher may yet
have to land marines and bluejackets
to protect foreigners.
