DRAKE STARTS WAR IN
COUNCIL over WATER

A sharp filfbustering fight, ex-
nected to develop into a keen
battle tomorrow, occurred in
council session today when il be-
came rumored that Commission
er of Light and Water James c.
Drake was planning to clean
out" several of the officials of
the water department and put
Hamilton Gronen, former city
commissioner. in charge of the
entire municipal light and water
systems.
According to the information
given other commissioners Drake
plans to throw out w. A. Ku-
NICK, in charge of the Green riv-
er gravity system, and w. b.
Short, head of the city distribut-
ing system of the water depart
ment. In their place he would
appoint Hamilton Gronen as chief
engineer for the light and water
plants, a position formerly han
died by the commissioner of the
department; would appoint Paul
Savidge, former assistant engi-
neer on the Green river system,
as assistant to the chief engf-
neer, and would retain j. j. Mon
ahan, newly appointed water
main superintendent, in his pres
ent position.
Would Keep short.
The commission is opposed to
losing Short, who has had charge
of the water system for years,
and knows every inch of the dis
tributing system. Mayor Faw-
cett and other commissioners are
anxious to have Monahan re-
placed by another superintend-
ent, declaring him to be a poiitt-
cal appointee and not qualified

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. IS.
Wilson has ordered
the department of Justice TO use
all legal measures TO cnecK ille-
gal and artificial increases in food
prices.
The president believes there
are laws adequate to deal with
the situation. Artificial corner
ing, forestalling the necessities of
life, can be accomplished only by
conspiracies in restraint of trade
which are opposed to the Sher-
man antitrust law, and which
must be prevented by every agent
of the department of justice in
the United States. District attor-
neys are ordered to get busy.
The beef trust, the grain
elevator men, the cold stor-
age warehousemen who deal
in butter, eggs and poultry,
are to be the objects of spe-
ciaI attention.
The department of commerce.,
under the personal supervision of
Secretary Redfield, is co-operat-
ing with Secretary Houston OF the
department of agriculture in an
effort to work out a plan for in
vestigating the rising prices OF
food. The division of markets in
the department of agriculture will
probably be the agency used to
look into this subject, although
the bureau of corporations. and

TOT nlb JODs
Argument and filibustering on
the reorganization of the water
department came while the
council was sitting in committee
of the whole today.
Commissioners Mills, apparent
ly lining up with Drake as a
payment for brakes support Of
recent ordinances, took the stand
that there was a conflict of au-
thority in the water office.
Drake Endorsed.
The committee voted to en-
dorse brakes reorganization or
dinance, which comes up for
final vote tomorrow, but Mayor
Fawcett and Commissioner At
kins inserted the clause that they
would endorse the ordinance pro-
vided the expense of hiring the
new officials would not exceed
present expense. Then they also
entered an amendment to the
effect that the appointment of
the chief engineer must he sub
jeet to confirmation of the
council.
According to brakes plan,
Gronen will receive $3.50 per
month and Savidge $3.50. In or
der to prevent an increase of
salaries, Drake must cut salar-
les to the extent of $500. Short
and Kunigk, who are slated for
discharge, get $125 each. Faw-
cett and Atkins believe that they
have fixed" Drake so that, in
order to get his new high-prieed
men, he must also fire Monahan-

nance comes up for passage to-

ORDERS
FEDERAL PROBE
OF FOOD TRUST

perhaps a special corps of trained
investigators may be used by the
department of commerce.
Criminal as well as civil
penalties are to be invoked,
and no stone will be left un-
turned to check the attempt
to use war abroad as an ex-
euse to extOrt famine prices

Congress, as we'll as the ad-
ministration officials, is aroused
to the seriousness of the situa-
ton. The contention is freely
made that there is absolutely
nothing in the situation to war
rant increases. On the contrary,
they point to the fact that The alb
sence of shipping leaves a surplus
of all foodstuffs in the United
States, which condition, under the
normal action of economic laws,
would necessarily tend to reduce
rather than raise prices of these
commodities.
Secretary of Commerce Red
field, however, points out that
the dealers who control large
quantities of foodstuffs suitable
for export, will naturally hold
them out of consumption at
home, looking forward to the
time (which he believes is imme-
diately at hand) when the ocean
lanes will again be open to com
merce, and when the enormous
demand from abroad will assure
them very high prices.
