WILSON ORDERS WHEAT QUIZ
Soaring Prices Cause President to
Start Nationwide In
vestigation.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Soaring wheat
prices and the threatened rise in the
cost of bread caused President Wilson
to order two federal inquiries intended
to determine whether conditions are
due to natural economic causes,
brought about by the war, or have
been induced by the action of specula-
tors seeking great profits. The presi-
dents first move was to direct Attor-
ney General Gregory to start nation
wide investigation for the purpose Of
ascertaining whether there has been
violation of the antitrust laws. The
orders followed the demand made by
the executive committee of the Ma
tional Association of Retail Grocers
for such an inquiry. Legislation CIV
ing the president power to stop the
expectation of foodstuffs whenever
necessary and other bills designed to
lower prices were discussed informal
ly here.
Meantime officers of the National
Housewives league were planning boy
colts and similar action against the
foodstuffs affected.

court is willing, according to state
ment issued on Friday by the British
embassy, which says:
While they cannot give a pledge
that all ships now in prize courts will
be released on bail being offered, be-
cause the decision must rest with the
judge, his majesty's government, in
order to relieve a shortage of tom
mage, are anxious to withdraw ships
as little as possible from the carrying
trade and will, therefore, not oppose
release on bail of ships now in prize

neutral vessels are at present in the

The senator quoted figures to show

than twice the size Of the police force
of the city of New York" and said:
Surely 1t is not necessary to do
more than repeat these figures to
show the utter inadequacy of our reg
ular army. The reserves which We
have of soldiers who have served in
the army and who are liable to be
called back to the colors amount to
16 men. IN other words, we have no
reserves with which rapidly to en-
large the army if we were attacked.

The worst naval deficiency just now

added:

believe, to protect and give warning
of the approach of a hostile fleet, for

URGES j. S. CONTROL
UNTERMYER APPEARS BEFORE
FEDERAL BODY AT FouNDA-
TON HEARING.
90 MUCH GOOD AND NO HARM
Lawyer Asserts That Labor Unions
Can Never Relieve Labor condi-
tions-Asks Government Regulation
of Rockefeller and Other Bodies.

New York, JAN 20.-Federal incor-
poration for the Rockefeller founda-
ton and for other foundations en-
dowed to help humanity was advocated
here OF Monday by Samuel Untermyer,
famous corporation lawyer, before the
federal commission on industrial re-
lations. This commission, the chair
man of which is Frank P. Walsh of
Missouri. has begun an investigation
of the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Russell
Sage and Baron de Hirsch foundations
to determine whether or not they
should be regulated by the United
States government, and Mr.. Untermy-
er was the first witness.
The power and Importance of these
foundations can be gathered from the
fact that they control about s300,000,-
600. Other recommendations by Mr..
Unternlyer were:
1. That the charters given to the
foundations by the United States gov
eminent should belimited.
2. That the size of the foundations
should be limited.
3. That the foundations should not
be allowed to accumulate their in
come.
Mr.. Untermyer said that the
foundations were doing much good
and no harm, but that they gave a
fair example of the evils of the vice
of state legislation" He declared that
the foundations were not satisfactory
wholly because they were operating
under state charters. The govern
ment, he believed, should have sound
control over them and should have a
hand in the selection of trustees to
administer them.
The labor unions, Untermyer said,
can never relieve labor conditions.
What we need" he asserted. lis
governmental regulation"
The witness then went into dis
cussion of life insurance companies.
Untermyer urged, rs remedies for
present industrial conditions, insur-
ance against sickness and invalidity,
insurance against unemployment. old
age pension, life and accident insur-
ance and maternity benefits.
In reply to questions, Mr.. Inter
myer said that he believed practically
all the railroads in the United States
were controlled by one or the other
of the groups of banking houses.
Roger w. Babson, statistician, was
called at the afternoon session. He
said he believed the principal menace
to capital and labor was absentee
ownership.
there seldom is labor trouble in a
plant when the owner resides in the
same town" he said. He thought that
the annual meetings of big companies
should be held at the mills and there
should be labor Representatives of the
boards.

Government Is Abolished.

Mexico City, Jan. 19.-Provisional
President Eulalio Gutierrez hi been
superseded as head Of the convention
government by Gen. Rogue Gonzales
Cara, presiding officer of the conven-
ton, which elected him provisional
president to serve until an election
shall be held and a president duly Sc
lected by ballot General Cara Is
known as a Villa adherent.
General Gutierrez left Mexico City
on Sunday for Pachuca, accompanied
by Generals Blanco, Robes and Jose
Vasconcelos as body guard" These
officers, tolled off by General Cara
ostensibly as protectors of the deposed
provisional executive, as a matter of
fact will act as his captors, in the
sense that they are changed With
seeing that Gutierrez commits no act
detrimental to the Villa interests.
General Cara first came into promi-
nence In political sense when he
served as a member of the Carranza-
Villa peace commission, which at

Washington, jan. 1S.-Secretary of
State Bryan announced on Friday that
the United States government had
warned General Carranza that serious
consequences would follow threat
ened contiscation of foreign oil wells
at Tampico.
Sir Cecil Spring the British
ambassador, delivered to the state de-
partment a protest of the most en-
phatic character against General Car
ranza's decree confiscating oil proper
ties in the Tampico district
The British representations to the
state department make it clear that
the British government will not coun-
tenance the destruction of oil interests
owned by British subjects at Tampico
and the United States government was
urged to take drastic action toward in
ducing Carranza to revoke his decree.
