Whitewash Cold Storage

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. Representative
McKeIlar of Tennessee, author of q
bill charging the cold storage 'egg
kings with responsibility for high
prices, assailed the department Of ag-
riculture today for its statement re-
lating to prices.
''I regret exceedingly" said Mr. Nc
Kellari that the department OF ag-
riculture, the day after 1 made an
argument in the house in an attempt to
aid the America people in maintain
ing their food supply at a lower price
should have published a report which
apparently is an effort of the depart
ment TO whitewash the cold storage
men and belittle my efforts
II personally asked the department
for information as to how the prod
uction of eggs for 1913 compared with
production of preceding wears and was
informed ii did not have such infor-
nation. It is certainly an interesting
query as to how the department got
the inside statistics on the action OF
the pullets of the country for the last
two weeks. Evidently the pullets have
talked more lately than the packers
have done"

The fishing schooner Dorothy, of the

ter and held foY about an hour, during
which Mexican officers made a search
of the vessel for munitions of war.
Capt. Peterson. says his vessel was
near Cont island, on the Mexican
coast, when he sighted a Mexican YES
sci coming towards him. He crowded
on mere sail and when he saw the
vessel was after him gave the cutter
a chase for about fifteen miles before
being overhauled. His papers were
then demanded and the vessel
searched. When any arms or ammu-
milton were not found the smack was
allowed to proceed.
The hold-up occurred two weeks ago
and the Mexican vessel was search
