EGG PRICES SENT
DOWN BY STORAGE
Tendency Toward Lower Level
Shown by Statistics, De-
caIres George Holmes.

That there Is a tendency toward a
lower level in prices of fresh eggs and
higher level for cold-storage aggs. as
the result of redistribution of supply,
appears, from examination of statistics,
according to George K. Holmes, chief OF
the Division of Production and Distri-
button, Bureau of Statistics. Depart
ment of Agriculture, in a bulletin re-
Gently issued.
This is also true in the case of butter.
There is slight tendency toward an
advance i'm the price of fresh pork. 1t Is
also contended, because of redistribu-
ton of supply through cold-storage
methods.
That cold storage has counted for
uniformity of prices in many cases. In
accordance with the assertions OF GER
tain interests. but that 1t does not do so
with ali commodities nor at all times.
Is also the conclusion reached through
examination of the statistics. extending
through period Of thirty-one years.
commencing in 1850.
In answer to the contention that the
cold storage interests artificially raise
prices of commodities. and that the ef-
feet of the cold storage Of foods has
been to lower the annual level of prices
paid by consumers and to make them
more uniform. 1t Is declared this is only
partially so.
The withdrawal of commodities from
consumption during the period of nat.
uraf high production and the placing OF
them in cold-storage for increasing the
, consumption during the season of nat
urally low consumption causes a redis-
tribution of both consumption and
prices.
There is a general but not invariable
rise in prices to a higher level because
of this redistribution of monthly con-
sumption This is declared to be true
in the case of butter and probably for
eggs. :

President Wilson's Action
In Addressing Congress
Disarms Some of Critics

President Wilson has been assured by
the men in the Senate and House who
are closest to him that his action in per-
sonaIly addressing the Senate in the
manner he did yesterday has disarmed
some of his critics there. They were
the men who had believed that the
President planned to dominate the legis-
lative branch of the Government. Now
that the President has made 1t plain
that what he desired was cooperation
in Government, much of the criticism
previously made has been withdrawn.
according to the reports made to the
President by his personal friends.
Despite this, however, the President
made ii perfectly clear to his callers
today that he does not intend to make
frequent use of his constitutional privi-
lege of meeting with Congress. He has
been especially put out over the init
nation from certain sources that he
might attend an executive session of the
Senate and speak out in meeting If he
saw an indication Of a plan to embarass
him by holding up his nominations.
The President will not attend any
executive session of either house. H'
has made it very plain that he Is OPP
posed to star chamber meetings and
was today very much disappointed be-
cause the House voted down the open
caucus plan.
President sent word to the leaders OF
the House that he believed the caucus
should be an open one. He explained
to Palmer that he believed the members
ought not to have any secrets from the
public in debating the nev tariff bill
But the House thought otherwise.
1t was learned today that certain OF
the friends of the open caucus plan
wanted the President to issue an ap-
peal to the House to throw down the
barriers. He felt, however. that to dc
so woul1 open the way for the criticism
that he was usurping authority. and
oontented himself with the plain declar-
alton that he believed the caucus should
be open.
1t was considered certain today tina,
the President would take up immedi.
ately the great mas of appointments
which must be disposed Of in the neal
future. Only a few are to be made
this week, and in all cases they have
been forecast. but the various Cabi
net heads have been working hard COM
piling their suggestions, and they are
to be brought before the President,
probably at Fridays Cabinet meeting.

Score of Flood Measures
Reach Congress; Sparkman
Opposes Prevention Plans

score OF bills providing financial
relief for Ohio and Mississippi river
ncod victims, and some outlining com
urebensiye plans for the prevention OF
floods, reached Senate and House COM
rnittees today. They ranged from a
measure by Congressman sherwood OF
ohio 10 appropriate S2,VoocV Immeol-
plan contemplating expenditures or mil
hons in the cor struction of levees and
hcadw:ter reservoirs.
Opposition to extensive inroads upon
the National Ireasu FOR river RorK
developed TO-DAY, headed by Congress
r-sn Sparkman of Florida, chairman of
the House Rivers and Harbcrs Com
nittee.
Continuance of Federal appropriations
for Ievees on the Mississippi river, but
no money for similar work in the Ohio
watershed, is Sparkman's flood preVen-
tier program. He declared today
against tapQropriating Government money
for food prevention construction in the
servoir'' system of checking flood
waters.
The Government engineers. to- whom
Congress has always gone for advice,
have never fCunc any better method of
preventing food than the construction
OF Ievees," Sparkman stated. THE re-
servoir system is deemed TO cost far be-
yCnd its utility value. The plan Is i'm
Practicable. Reservoirs, as rule. are
built at the headwaters, while some OF
the worst disasters are floods which ac-
cumulate from causes below, where II
is imp: acticable to build reservoirs.
The Government has never gone be-
ycnd the Mississippi river in food pre-
Vention appropriations. Whether ii was
wise or not to go that far is doubtful. How
ever. We have gone into it But at no
time Eaye We done SO to the exclusion
Of local participation.
II am at present not in favor of the
GoVernment's- taking exclusive charge
"f ievee construction, even on the Miss
isSipiL Neither am ] in favor OF doing
similar work on other streams"
Sparkinan stated that the Rivers and
liarbors Committee will, however, give
careful consideration 10 all flood pre-
Eention measures submitted to Congress,
including those affecting the Ohio wat
ofshed, but intimated the-committee' g
disapprovai Of bills TO loan Government

However, the floor space in the suite

with an allowance of 100 square feet

THAT public business can be trans

most prosperous banking institutions.
In one, the Mechanics Bank, with a
floor measurement of 2,31O square Feet.
there is a wicket counter extending
around one half the enclosure allotted
to it's clerks. This counter absorbs

that there is available only 347 square

WOULD LABEL HOUSES

TRENTON, NJ j.. March 5.-The
women of The Contemporary, pow
erful-civic organization, passed reso-
lutions recommending a State law
compelling the placing on buildings
of the names of owners. in the inter-
est of suppressing crime and vice.
The society said in its resolutions
that sometimes it develops in trials
that supposedly respectable men and
women have rented their premises
for the purposes of vice. 1t is pointed
out that if their names were on
buildings so that the public might be
informed who owned the structures
this would not happen. The build
ings would not be rented for such
purposes.
The legislative committee of the
society was called in and directed to
force such law through the Legsla-
ture this session.
