TRUST"
UNDER WAY

Chicago, July IA compromise
was offered the government, 1t was re-
ported, following a conference be-
tween Dist. Atty. James II. Wilkerson
and attorneys representing the West
ern C~antaloupe exchange, an alleged
melon trust whose operations the fed
eral grand fury has been investigating.
The exchange virtually controls the
entire output Of cantaloupes, 1t is
said, and charges that prices have
been arbitrarily fixed have been made
to Mr.. Wilkerson.
Counsel for the exchange deny that
prices have been raised since the es-
adjustment OF two boards Of control,
one at Brawley, Cal, and the other in
Chicago. They declare that unless
there is some method of regulating
the product their clients will suffer
great loss because Of the perishability
Of the melon.
On June % prices Of large canta-
loupes were SO to go cents less per
crate than a year age. The decrease
in the price of small melons for the
same period Is rs cents. Government
attorneys assert the present grand
jury investigation is responsible for
the lower prices.

North Carolina, her sister ship, since they went to

both had been going from port to port in Turkish

Those Turkish officials who remain at the ernbas-

ed upon, it the act OF some local official which
would quickly be taken up by the Constantnople gov

The cruiser North Carolina is at BEIRUT, on the
coast of Asia Minor, about 500 miles away.
Those officials who regard the incident as mis-

Decker been convinced that the Turkish forts were

ing machine would not have steamed away the har-
Dor of Chios without further incident While there is

The text Of the statement follows:

AGAIN DENY Use
OF THE DUM-DUNS
British Office Issues State
ment Covering Charge
of Germany.

London. Nov. 1s.-The war office
issued statment last night denying
German allegations that the British
troops have used dunn dun. or soft
nosed bullets, but maintaining that
these kinds of missiles have been used
by the Germans.
The statement describes the British
and German service ammunition as
very similar. the bullets being pointed
with steel and the envelope coated
with cupro-nickel, covering the core
except at the base and conforming
with the provisions of The Hague con-
vention.
In the opinion Of Sir Victor Hors-
ley. well known surgeon. this bullet
is probably the most humane pro-
jectile yet devised" for the reason
that the long side point. consisting
almost entirely of q hard nickel
sheath. precludes as far as possible,
any tendency toward reformation Of
shape while the strength Of the sheath
prevents tho bullet breaking up into
Fragments, in very exceptional cir
cumstances."
The statement concludes:
There is, however. clear evidence
that Germany has not confined her
self solely to the use Of these objec-
tionable ammunitions. Her troops in
Togoland and France have been prov
ed to have used bullets with soft
core and envelope not entirely cover
ing the core, which type Of bullet IL
expanding and is expressly prohibited
by The Hague convention"
