FOOD HOGS LOSE
OUT in ENGLAND
Attempts to Corner Market
Prevented by Commission
and Parliamentary Bill.
CONTROLS SUGAR STOCK

Are Hoarded.
CONTROLS SUGAR STOCK
ny v. e. pooLITTLE.

London, Oct. 2.-The royal commission,
appointed when the war began to block
efforts Of the foodSrog to corner the
market and boost prices far above nor
nal, submitted its report today.
The commission cornered the sugar
market, buying about $4,000 tons at an
average price Of 800 ton and selling
II to the refiners upon the condition
that they dispose of II to retailers at a
fixed moderate price
In a further attempt to thwart the food
hog, the government has put through
the unreasonable Withholding OF foods
bill which has given the board of trade
trict to seize stocks upon payment Of a
fixed price.
Since the passage Of the bill a great
quantity OF food stuffs and other com
modities have made their appearance on
the market. 1t is believed that this sup
ply Is part of the boarded stock
An attempt was made to supply the
Quinine market, but many chemists whose
supplies had run short, and who baked
at paying exorbitant prices for new stock
asked by those who were jobbing Il. ap-
pealed 10 the government and immediate
action was taken, resulting nsthe smash
ing Of the corner.
Some merchants here are holding I'D
manufactured goods on the plea that the
partial paralysis of the railroads has
made it impossible for them to make
shipments. The board Of trade may take
oV-- their stocks. and store them until
such time as they can be shipped, thus
blocking the possibility Of the merchants
boosting prices.

Association.
POINTERS FOR HoUsEKEEPERS

To show that the infant death rate In
the District Of Columbia has for years
followed pretty closely the rise and fall.
mostly rise, of the cost OF living, John
H Sherman, superintendent Of public
markets and weights and measures. last
night exhibited an interesting chart be-
fore the Park View Citizens Associa-
ton.
The facts. worked out by the local
health department, were called 70 the
attention of the Associated Charities, he
stated, and by seeing that prospective
mothers got proper nourishment which
they were unable otherwise to get under
prevailing food prices. the morality rate
among infants day or 50 old was kept
down considerably.
Some Interesting facts relative to the
high costsof living were presented 20 the
numerous housewives present by Mr..
Sherman. He explained the difference
between the price they pay for farm
products and the price the producer re-
ceives. The farmer. he stated. gets only
two-fifths Of the retail price.
The middleman II no Ubiquitous robber
as 80 many suppose" said he. ''he Is SIM
ply a handwriting man trying to
breathe" Mr.. Sherman declared that far
from all Of the remaining three-fifths
goes TO the middleman. He called atten-
uOh 70 hne se[ioub dInount OF waste IN
all perishable commodities, and told the
pepbers the District was trying to save
all this by equipping a storage plant for
dealers. where their perishable goods
might be kept at saving temperatures.
The association left II to the president
to call a special meeting soon to take
some action in regard to the Borland
amendment This was decided upon after
W. I. Swanton, secretary OF the Tax
Reform Association OF the District, had
exhibited charts showing roughly the

SAYS WILSON YIELDED
ON TRUST LEGISLATION
Senator BrstOw Charges President
with Meeting Views of Big
Business Interests.
BILLS TEMPERED, He ASSERTS

The charge was made in debate In the
Senate yesterday on the conferences re-
port on the Clayton bill, that President
Wilson had yielded to the big business
interests OF the country and tempered
trust legislation to meet their views.
Senator Clapp. OF Minnesota. intimated
that the President had been missed a. 70
the full effect OF the trust regulation In
the Clayton bill. Senator Bristow, Of
Kansas. interposed the suggestion that he
doubted very much whether the Presi-
dent had been misled.
Does the Senator from Kansas be-
lleve that the President Of the United
States would say Amen TO this report?'
inquired Mr.. Clapp. II do not believe
that the President realizes the contents,
the force, and the scope Of this confer
ence report"
since the Senator from Minnesota
asks what the Senator from Kansas be-
lieves." replied Mr. Bristow. II win state
that 1 believe the President knows all
about this conference report. just what
It contains, just what It does. and that
he wants 1t passed because II does just
what It does. and that he Is now not In
favor OF enacting into law the things that
he advocated in his volume entitled. The
New Freedom ! believe the President
has surrendered his administration to
the sinister influences in this republic,
and that from now on there will not be,
and there has not been heretofore, an
administration for half a century that IL
50 sbjectly subservient to the Wall Street
influences as this one"
Senator Clapp demurred to this state
ment. II do not believe that the invis-
able government has fastened upon this
administration" said Senator Clapp. II
believe that the invisible government is
Tightening its hold day after day. and
believe now what I did not believe
when voted for the Trade Commission
bill. and for this bill when II was before
the Senate, that these bills and the post
poned third bill, the Rayburn stock and
bonds bill, which was the great remedy
to deal with the securities. Is part and
parcel Of a program. 1 cannot believe
that any man possessing the Presidents
ideals Is conscious Of the betrayal"
The discussion Of the Clayton bill re-
port continued throughout the day. and
will go on today. 1t is generally conced
ed that a vote will be had before ad-
journment today, and that a motion to
recommit will be voted down, and the
conference report will be adopted.

sell, master Of Mr.. Portner's cruising
motor boat, Iona, and crew of five
sailors and mate. Her owner also made
the trip and had as his guest Peter La
Bouisse of this city.
1t was planned to make the trip by
the outside route, but heavy fogs were
encountered near the Delaware capes
and it was deemed advisable to follow
the inside route from that point. This
leads through the Delaware apd Chas-
apeake canal. No difficulty was expert
enced in navigating the craft down the
Chesapeake to the mouth of the Potomac
and up to this city. The start was made

and 20 feet on the water line. Her ton
mage is 50 gross and 5s net The beam Is
1876 feet and the draft is Sc feet, which

difficult, as the yachts draft is greater
than that of several of the river
steamers. The keel is of lead and weighs
43 tons.
the hull of the Latona is of solid ma
hogany. with steel frames. The craft
was designed by Tams. Lemoine & Crane
of New York. and built by Lawley &
Sons of South Boston. Her auxiliary
power consists of four cylinder gasoline
engine of 75 horse power, which gives a
cruising speed of seven miles an hour.
Mahogany has been extensively used in
trimming out the interior of the boat,
which is elaborate in its arrangements.

bothrooms, large saloon, fully equipped
galley, pantry and crews quarters. The
boat is lighted by electricity throughout
The hull is painted black and is green
below the water line.
