Plunkett, civil engineer, is on his way

him an hour before the departure of a
train for the east yesterday.

Having delayed asking Miss Forrest to

HENS TO BLAME FOR
PRICE OF EGGS, SAY
EXPERT OFFICIALS
Hasty Investigation Fails to
Unearth Cold Storage
Trust-Marked Lack
of Eggs

WaslltFston, December f.--After sew
eral weeks of investigation over the en-
tire United States officials OF the de-
partment of justice have reached the
conclusion that there Is little ground
for belief that a nation wide cold storage
trust exists. Every United States at
torney in the country was pressed into
service for a quick survey of the cold
storage field and their reports to Wash
ington indicate that while combines
have been formed I'm a few Of the large
cities, there is no reason to believe that
there is cold storage trust controll-
ing the price of eggs and other prod
uets in all 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 its attention to more care
ful scrutiny of the operations of cold
storage men there. It's next step will
be to trace the lines of interstate com
bination between the dealers in these
large cities, for without connection be-
tween them across state lines the Sher-
man act would not he available and the
departments effort to bring down the
cost of living by the breaking of a
monopoly or two would hardly be sue
cessfu
The nation wide inquiry has tended
TO put 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 re-
ports so far at hand cold storage men
have suffered from marked lack of
eggs and other products and the prices
have gone up for this reason. United
states attorneys have sent word to
Washington in many Instances that
cold storage dealers in their territory
have stocks ON hand far under stocks
in previous years and that they see
little prospect of relief unless the hens
heed the appeal and get busy at once

HITCHCOCK LEADS
FINAL ASSAULT ON

Delaying the Bill

Z 81 4H- ~
Washineion, December 1.-THE final as
sault on the detailed provisions of the
administration currency bin was begun in
the Senate tonight, Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska leading the attack. In a
lull In the flood of currency oratory, which
has occupied the Senate day and night
for almost two weeks, Senator Hitchcock
began the presentation of his amendments
to the bill declaring IN a dramatic speech
that he declined TO consider as uhalter-
able the measure completed by the demo-
cratic caucus.

dent Wilson's book. ''The New Free

on record against caucus and committee
legislation, and was in favor of the con-
sideration of reform measures lin the
full light of publicity
No Purpose to Delay
Il have no purpose to delay the con-
sideration of this bill,' said Senator
Hitchcock, but | deplore the tendency
of senator's on both sides of this cham
ber to regard this bill as foreclosed to
amendment by the action of the demo-
cratic caucus. The President has pro-
claimed time and again that discussion
in public was above all things the most
important consideration in legislation,
Senator Gallinger. the republican lead
er, suggested that the President had APP
proved OF the caucus on the tariff bill.
and had also approved the caucus on the
currency bill.
II doubt that said Senator Hitchcock
Il shall not believe until l hear the votes
east here. that men who have assured
me they would not be bound against their
convictions by any caucus. will stultify
themselves and come in here to vote
against the things in which they be-
lieye.

two of the bill was the first presented
today. This provides for the organization
of four regional reserve banks, instead of
