ORDER INQUIRY OF
HEN AS PRODUCER
Congressman Want to Know
Why More Eggs Are Not
Laid.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 13.-How to
make hens lay more eggs was one OF
multitude of Investigations author
lied in the agricultural appropriations
bill reported today. Congressman

sessions, more than two hundred
thousand dollars will be spent study

in food stuffs between the producer
and consumer, and general reor-
ganization of the department of agri-
culture along lines of greater efficien-
cy, as laid down by Secretary Hous-
ton. were authorized in appropriations
aggregating $25,O0O,0O0.
With a $310,000,0O0 postoffice ap-
preparation bill the senate committee
reported an amendment to prevent
any further changes in rates or ex-
tension of parcel post without con-
gressional authority. The postmaster
general in the present bill has such
power. The committee wants to check
changes.
Despite a general belief that in or
der not to embarrass the administra-
ton there would be no agitation OF
Asiatic exclusion legislation in con-
gress pending diplomatic negotiations
with Japan, immigration Commission
er General Caminetti today urged be-
fore the house committee early action
to 'check the menace of Asiatic immi-
grafton" His remarks. under the cir
Gumstances, caused somewhat of
sensation. Chinese and Japs, he said,
had become so acclimated to the Unit
ed States that they would become a
menace not only to the Pacific coast,
but the whole country. He declared
there was no doubt that Japs were
coming in surreptitiously as well as
Chinese and Hindus.

PERU'S GOVERNMENT is
RECOGNIZED BY WILSON

WaShingtO ID. C., FEB. 13-The
United States yesterday granted for
NAL recognition to the revolutionary
government of Peru, which eight days
ago overthrow President Billinghurst.
This action was based upon representa-
tions made by Senor FREDERICK A.
Pezet, minister of Peru, and also upon
a message from Benton McMillin.
American minister a Lima, neither of
which was made public.
The action of the administration was
a complete surprise in official and dip
lomatic circles in view of the former
utterances of President Wilson and
Secretary of State Bryan in which
they expressed disfavor of revolution
airy movements.
The recognition of Peru was granted
in one day less than the recognition
OF Panama in 1903, which was about
Panama receded from Columbia on
Nov. 4 and was recognized by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on Nov. Is, 1903.
Members of the diplomatic corps
were surprised at the presidents ac-
tion in granting such speedy recogni-
ton 10 Peru. recalling that in formal
announcement from the White house
on March IL last he said:
Cooperation is possible only when
supported at every turn by orderly
processes of just government based
upon law and not upon arbitrary or ir-
regular force
In recent dealings with revolution
airy leaders in Santo Domingo, the sec.
retary OF state went to the extent OF
declaring In practical terms that no
revolutionary government would be
recognized no matter how just its
cause or how complete tts contro7

Attempt Made at Night
to Assassinate Officer of
u. S. BattIeship.
is ONLY SLIGHTLY HURT
Attack Takes Place While In
tended Victim Is Riding in
Carriage With Wife.

! Vera Cruz, Feb. 13.-An attempt was
made last night to assassinate Captain
Arthur B. Cook, flag lieutenant to Rear
Admiral Mayo. of the United States
battleship Connecticut Lieutenant
Cook, although struck by a bullet, was
only slightly hurt. His assailant was
not seen.
The lieutenant, accompanied by his
wife and Miss Ethel Mckenzie, of
Philadelphia, had been dining with
Admiral Mayo aboard the flagship.
Returning to the landing place, the
party took a carriage to drive to the
steamer Moro Castle. on which Mrs.
Cook and Miss Mckenzie were to sail
yesterday.
The two women occupied the rear
seat of an open victoria. Lieutenant
Cook. conspicuous in full dress uni
form, with gold epaulets and heavy
gold cords, denoting his rank as flag
lieutenant, sat facing them, with his
back to the driver.
Heavy Detonation.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the party
was proceeding down the Avenida de
la independents, when, in passing a
side street, sharp, but not loud de-
tonation was heard, and Lieutenant
Cook felt smart shock on the left
hip, which provoked surprise, but ap-
parently was not associated at the time
with what appeared to be shot.
On alighting at the wharf Lieuten-
ant Cook found a small object on the
carriage seat, which proved to be a
steel-jacketed 25 calibre bullet, of the
type used in pocket automatic pistols.
Further investigation showed that the
bullet had inflicted bruise on his hip.
Beyond doubt, the bullet, which
was fired at very short distance, was
spent, having lost it's velocity by pass
ing through the woodwork of the car
riage.
Whoever fired the shot must have
fed Immediately, apparently without
having attracted attention.

Existence of Retail Mer-
chant Threatened, Cham
Der of Commerce Told.
PUBLIC BEING BAITED
Methods Held Similar to Those
Bringing About Industrial
Monopolies.

Washington. d. c., Feb. 13.-Price
"jugglery"-an alleged practice OF
chain stores, cut price houses and 9TH
er large commercial institutions-was
bitterly condemned here .cday by VIII
liam II. Ingersoll, New York member
OF the American Fair Trade league, be-
fore the annual convention of the
Chamber OF Commerce of the United
States. Mr.. Ingersoll appealed to the
convention to recommend legislation
by congress to destroy the ruthless use
OF price-cuttirg and prevent the people
from being deceived into thinking that
they are obtaining special values when
as a matter OF fact they were merely
being "baited.'
Such practices" he declared. fur
ther the tendency to monopoly in the
retail market. They not only threaten
the existence OF the retail merchants.
but tend to divert trade from the local
centers to the great stores OF the great
cities. expressing thousands OF small
merchants IN cities and smaller towns
and bringing about a concentration OF
business which has thrust the trust
problem upon the American people.
Complicated Methods.
THE methods by which this conges-
ton OF trade is being furthered are
similar to those which brought about
Industrial monopolies and they are as
complicated and bewildering and pos
sess the same plausibility and allure
ment as those methods which experi-t
ence shows have had such heavy ulti-
mate aftercourse.
''The cut-price is now being ruth
lessly used on the country's well known
standard brands OF merchandise in
with exaggerated bargain
claims on miscellaneous and unknown
and with disastrous effect
upon the business of the branded goods !
themselves, and upon thousands OF
of small merchants who are |
being artificially stified.
Whether in Boston, New York or 1
San Francisco, or almost any city in |
between them, you will find that the /
drug business and the cigar business /
has been largely brought within the !
control of single companies operating .
chain stores. In Philadelphia, IL is re-
ported that within five years over half
the grocery stores have been put cut
Of business by chain stores, and chains
Of grocery stores on the nationwide
scale are getting their hold on the
market, one system now having 500
branches
In Great Combine.
Mr.. IngersoIl said these mammoth
are being combined into a
great grocery chain which has con-
trol OF the leading establishments in
nearly so of the principal trading CEN
ters of America.
Another distinct type of retail con-
he said. Is found in the
great mail order establishments, the
eading one of which had its catalogue
n every third home in America and
lid an annual business Of nearly $780,
100000.
