DEP PARTNENT FOR
FOOD SHORTAGE

New York, Aug. 22-The United
States Department of Agriculture was
held responsible for shortage of beef
and the consequent rise in meat pric-
es by Z. w. Lyman, witness in the
food cost investigation in progress be-
fore the district attorney of Bronx
county.
Mr.. Lyman, representing Armour &
Co. of Chicago, said the department of
agriculture on Aug, l warned the
farmers to hold their grain because
there was a lack of shipping facilities
due to the war abroad. The farmers,
he declared, assumed the same lack of
means of transportation would apply
to cattle as well, and they failed to
send the normal amount of beef to the
markets.
The witness said the steamship
Zinol, Lamport & Holt liner, was
due to arrive today with a, cargo of
10000 quarters of Argentine beef.
which would relieve the situation to a
great extent, replenishing the supply
SO that prices would drop.
Before Chief Magistrate McAdoo
the food price inquiry begun by Dis
trict Attorney Whitman Of New york
county was continued today, witnesses
representing several Chicago hacking
houses testifying. James A, Howard,
district manager of Sulzberger & Sons,
said the asking price here was fixed
by the home office in Chicago, A. and
that there was no arrangement among
district managers to determine the
price. The law of supply and demand
ruled, he declared.
In reply to questions from Magis-
trate McAdoo, Mr.. Howard said he be-
lieved the reasons for the increase in
beef prices were: First, a scarcity of
cattle; second, that farmers were too
busy with other affairs just now to
send their cattle to market; and, third,
the farmers, realizing that conditions
are unusual, are incIined to hold back
their supply.

i. S. SHIP HIT
SUBMERGED ROCK

Pago Pago, American Samoa, Aug g.,
via San Francisco, Aug. 22.-The Unit
ed States ship Princeton is lying on
the beach here with a hole in her bot
tom four feet across. A brief an
nouncement that she struck an un-
chartered rock on July IL, while on
survey duty, already had been given
out by the navy department N Wash

4 Nothing but the highest sense of
duty and instant response to discip-
line, from the officers on the bridge to
the firemen in the stoke hole, saved
the vessel from becoming total loss,
with perhaps a long list OF death by
drowning.
At dusk of July II the Princeton was
returning to Pago Pago harbor at full
speed through the Aunuu channel,
when she ran squarely into a SUBJ
merged pinnacle of rock.
The shock of the impact was violent
and water rushed into the lower. COM

but the electricians stuck to their
posts until their dynamos were short
circutted and burned out by the rising
waters.
In the fire room the stokers remain
ed at LAelr posts With the same quiet
courage, When the water in the ash
pits began to lap the crate bars of the
lower furnaces, they hauled fires and
came on deck with no confusion, leav-
ing the pumps, still running on the
steam stored in the boilers.
The Princeton sank rapidly by the
head, and soon became almost un-
manageable. She was beached just in
time. >as.lI

ton here is hopeful of raising the

pumps he has requisitioned.

Treaties.

Washington.-Stirred to action by
the apparent freedom with which the
doings of the Foreign Relations Com
.mittee in consideration of the MIC
araguan and Colombian treaties have
been published from day to day, sew
eral senators agreed on a resolution
asking for authority to subpoena SEN
ators and Washington correspondents
to an inquiry to determine how the
proceedings of the ommittee-which
are supposed to be especially secret
get out.
Chairman Stone introduced the res
olution, and it was referred to stand
ing committee which decides on the
expense involved in such investiga-
tions. It is expected that the Senate
will pass it. With the resolution
Chairman Stone read into the Con-
gressional Record this statement:
"AlI newspaper reports Of what has
occurred in the Committee on For
eign Relations in its proceedings re-
garding the Nicaraguan and Colon
bian treaties are unauthorized and in
accurate and are, moreover, unworthy
of belief, because whoever gave out
the alleged information betrayed the
confidence of the committee and gov
ernment and deliberately violated his
word of honor"
"No man upon that Committee" de-
clared the Senator to his colleagues,
"can give out the confidential busi-
ness of the committee except he has
upon him the brand of absolute dis
honesty and betrayal" He added that
he regarded the disclosures of what
had taken place behind closed doors
"a disgraceful performance" The
committee probably will endeavor to
cross-examine its own members, and
may decide to go into broad inquiry
that will reach out through the SEN
ate. Under the resolution the COM
mittee may summon newspaper men
and attempt to learn where they OBJ
tanned their information about the two
treaties.

resolution that all senators be fur

4 CRISIS NEAR
IN MEXICO CITY.
Ambassador Garden Advises
British Residents to Leave.
ARE URGED TO MAKE HASTE.
Britlsh Embassy Crowded With Per
cons Making Arrangements To
\ Leave The country-RevOlt In
Federal Army Predicted.

Mexico City.-In view Of the exist
ing conditions in Mexico Sir Lionel
Garden, the British minister, advised
all British subjects temporarily to
leave the country. He said that the
shortage of fuel used in the operation
Of trains was becoming more acute
daily and that trains soon would stop
running, which would make difficult
the departure Of persons in the in
terror
Sir Lionel Garden said he believed
It to be his duty to urge all British
subjects to leave the capital imme-
diately and he especially advised that
the women and children be removed.
The Minister declared he had no
desire to frighten the members Of the
British colony. He said he had not
ordered them to go, such a course
only being advised.
Eight hundred British subjects are
registered at the legation as now re-
siding in Mexico City. 1t is the Min
ister's plan to get q sufficient num-
ber Of these to sign an agreement to
leave the capital, so that he can OBJ
tain special train from the Mexican
government to take them to Puerto
Mexico and also secure q transport
to convey the passengers to Jamaica,
where they could remain until the
close of the present Mexican trouble.
Britishers lacking funds to enable
them to get out of the country will
be furnished with money by the le-
cation as loan, notes being taken
Tor the amount.
The Brazilian Minister announced
that he has no fear of critical sit
uation arising in Mexico City. He
believed conditions will improve and
does not intend to remove his fami-
Iy from the capital, nor will he ad-
wise Americans to leave. The dip
lomatic representatives so far have
failed to follow the example Of the
British Minister, who has advised
British subjects to leave Mexico City.

AUSTRIAN HEIR
AND WIFE SLAIN.
ArChduke Francis F Ferdlnandand
Duchess of HOhenberg.
HAD JUST ESCAPED MOB
The Archduke Ferdinand Wards of a
Bomb Hurled at His Car in saray-
svo, Bosnia, but Two Of His
Suite Are Wounded.
copyrightI

SarayeYo, Bosnia.-Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, heir to the Austria-Hun-
garian throne, and the Duchess Of
Hohenberg, his morganatic wife, were
shot Sunday by student in the main
street of the Bosnian capital a short
time after they had escaped death
from bomb hurled at the royal auto
mobile.
They were slain while passing
through the city on their annual visit
to the annexed provinces Of Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
The first attempt against the Arch
duke occurred just outside the Girls
High School. His car had restarted
after a brief pause. for an inspection
of the building, when Gabrinovics
hurled the bomb. This was so sue
cessfully warded off by the Archduke
that it fell fiercely beneath the fol-
lowing car, the occupants of which
Count Won Boos-Waldeck and Colonel
Merizzo-were struck by slivers Of
iron.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand stopped
his car and, after making inquiries
as to their injuries and lending what
aid he could, continued his journey to
the Town Hail. There the Burgo-
master began the customary address,
but the Archduke sharply interrupted
and snapped out:
Herr Burgomaster, We have come
here to pay you visit and bombs
have been thrown at us. This is al
together an amazing indignity."
After pause the Archduke said:
Now you may speak"
She Falls Across Her Husband.
On leaving the hall the Archduke
and his wife announced their inten-
ton of visiting the wounded members
Of their suite at the hospital on their
way back to the palace. They were
actually bound on their mission Of
mercy when, at the corner of Rudolf
strasse and Franz Josef strasse.
Prinzip opened fire.
A bullet struck the Archduke in
the face. The Duchess was wounded
in the abdomen and another bullet
struck her in the throat, severing an
artery. She fell unconscious across
her husbands knee. At the same mo-
ment the Archduke sank to the floor
of the car.
The assassins were interrogated by
the police, and both seemed to glory
in their exploit. Prinzip said he had
studied for time at Belgrade.
He declared he had long intended
to kill some eminent person from ma
tionalist motives. He was awaiting
the Archduke at a point where he
knew the automobile would slacken
speed, turning into Franz Josef strasse.
The presence of the Duchess in the
car caused him to hesitate, but only
for a moment. Then his nerve re-
turned and he emptied his pistol at
the imperial pair. He denied that he
had any accomplices.
Prinzip is Is years Of age. Nedeljo
Gabrinovics is 81. He told the police
he had obtained the bomb from anar-
chists at Belgrade, whose names he
did not know. He denied also that
he had accomplices and treated the
tragedy with cynical Indifference.
