WASHINGTON, July 16.-The food
of protests flowing into the Depart
ment of Agriculture against the ex-
traordinary advances in beef prices
will hasten the departments inyesti-
gaticn of the beef products and bring
a report by the probing committee.
The meat situation presents such a
complicated problem that Secretary
of Agriculture Houston declined to
express an opinion as to the probable
cause OF the recent soaring of beef
prices until the probing committees
report has been made. The investi-
cation has been conducted quietly in
every part OF the country for about
six months.
The probers are former Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture T. b. Gallo
way, DIR. H. S. Waters, president of
the Kansas State Agricultural Col
llege, Professor c. +. Curtis. dean of
the Iowa State College; II. W. Mum
ford, professor -ef-Animal Hustandry,
University of illinois,; DR. A. d. Mel
vim, chief of the bureau of animal
industry of the Department of Agri-
culture, and r. NJ Carver director
of the department. They are trying
to get at the fundamental causes OF
the beef shortage and will recommend
course of actiontfor solution of the
problem.
Drouth and Crops Failure Factors.
Among the reasons for the cattle
shortage, the probers will report that
the drouth in the Southwest has been
a strong factor. Last year when the
corn crop didn't look good the farm
ers unloaded their cattle. The scare
ity caused by this condition was in
creased by tendency on the part of
farmers to hold their cattle this year
with the corn crop prospects so
bright.
Many kilograms have been received
at the agriculture department during
the past few days complaining of the
Federal restrictions on the sale of

as Armour and Swift, control a large

partment of agriculture says.
Z. Production Less; Consumption More.
England also takes a large supply
from Argentina. Another reason is
the inadequacy of shipping facilities
and the lack of American banks in

the average person eats three pounds

FEDERALS WIN
IN IMPORTANT
BASEBALL CASE
Decision in Pitcher Johnson
Appeal NulIifies Ten Days
Notice Clause.

+, CHICAGO, July 16.-The Federal
League scored its first big legal VIC
tory in its war on organized baseball
To-Day, when the Appellate Court held
the ten days clause in the ball play
ers' contract null and void.
+ The ruling was given in a court ac-
tion which reversed superior court
decision enjoining Pitcher George NJ
johnson, the Winnebago Indian, from
playing with the Kansas City Fed
erals.
The injunction, issued by Judge
Foell in the Superior Court and served
on johnson while he was parucipat-
ing in the game here, was granted at
the request of the Cincinnati Ma
tionals, whose ranks johnson left to
join the Federals.
johnson before he signed with his
new associates gave the Cincinnati
club the same notice of his leaving
that his contract with it required the
club to give. Ten days after he had
given the notice he Joined the
Federals.
The decision from the appellate
court was signed by Justices Edward
o. Brown and Frank Baker, Justice
William H. McSurely dissenting. The
opinion will be filed later and none
of the justices would discuss any of
the findings.
CINCINNATI, O., July 16.-Presi-
dent August Herman, of the Gin
cinnati baseball club, with which
johnson was connected before join
ing the Kansas City Federal League
team, said today that the decision of
the Appellate Court was naturally a
surprise TO him.
"Of course we will appeal TO the
higher court immediately said Mr.
Herman.

NESOLO
Passed by the MothOdist Sunday School
on the Death Of Senator Walter Price.

On this peaceful Sabbath morning
another face Is missing great man
has died.
God in his infinite wisdom has seen
fit to stop the earthly lahors and call to
his Heavenly home, Mr.. Walter Price,
long the teacher of our mems Bible
class and an active member Of our Sun
day school. when he seemed to US to be
at the height of his usefulness.
Senator Price was a nan thought
much, was deeply read in church his
tory, church literature, church doctrine
and above all, a close student Of the
bible. He was a man of forceful char
acter, firm i n his convictions and brought
his great intellect to support his con-
v%ictions on right thinking and right
living.
Mr.. Price possessed that innate
ability and self-sureness that mark the
leader-a mar who can guide the activ-
tiles and thoughts of others. He was
ready to take the lead in religious as in
other walks Of life.
He was an upright man, of stern, un-
compromising integrity; a man who
lived above the fog in public service
and in private thinking. A man who,
when his physician told him that he
must die, could and did sayto his fellow
man: II am prepared to meet my
Cod"
Now, therefore, be it resolved: That
the Sunday school of the Methodist
church has lost a member whose place
is hard to fill. A man who stood out by
his character and his teachings as a
guide and leader, whose example we
should strive to emulate.
Be it resolved second: That the bible
c'ass and the entire membership of the
Methodist Sunday school mourns his
loss and to that household from which
this loved one has been taken, we tend
er VI heartfelt sympathy and love.
May God he with them in their sorrow;
and may their household be complete
when they gather in the great beyond.
Resolved third: That copies of these
resolutions be spread on the minutes of
this Sunday school and sent to the
family,
