j. s. TRADE BOARD
TO GIVE OUT RULES
Commission Considering Also
Making Public Complaints
Against Corporations.

WASHINGTON June l6.--As a pre-
liminary to the beginning Of actual
work. the Federal Trade Commission
will issue this week its rule of prac-
tice under which the numerous cases
coming before it will be dealt with;
The commission Is making a oaretui
study of conditions that the rules
may be absolutely fair, and cover all
nossihle contingencies. Consideration
of the hundreds of complaints al
ready filed will not begin until the
practice has been settled upon.
In considering its practice, the COM
mission is taking up the question OF
making public complaints received
against corporations. So far none OF
the complaints filed has been made
puhlic. No decision has been reached
on the question of making public in
formal complaints prior to their con-
sideration. Under the act creating
the commission complaints of unfair
competition are to be taken up for-
mally only when Its intervention
would be lin the interest of the pup
lie"
1t has been argued that until the
commission has decided TO intervene
in such a case. publicity would open
an avenue for the use Of the commls-
sion as a means of business black
mail and would offer INSCRIPTIONS
business men an opportunity TO cir
culate unfounded and damaging
charges against competitors. For
this reason it may decide to make
public complaints only after they
have been so far investigated as to
allow a decision as to whether hear
ings should be ordered.
Detailed study of the practice of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and similar bodies has been made by
the commission in framing Its own
rules

DRUGS DISCUSSED
BY PHARMACISTS
Convention Delegates Plan to
Get Coal Tar Products Cut
Off by War.
snecIaI to the Evening Star.

SPRING LAKE, June 16.-The 450
druggists here representing the New
Jersey Pharmaceutical Association at
It's annual convention today got down
to business on the second-day ses-
sion. 1t opened with an exhibit of
medicinal plants of New Jersey, col
lected by William Mansfield. Mr..
Mansfield will give a lecture on these
plants tonight.
The scarcity of drug supplies and
possible famine prices for those hith-
erto obtained from the warning ma
tions, due to the European conflict, is
the important topic of discussion.
Prospects for growing in this State
plants from which drugs are derived
and of establishing coal tar by-prod-
ucts factories in America will be-,
taken up today.
The cost of coal tar products has
been doubled and may soon be tripled
owing to the lack of its production
in America. President Gallagher said
in an interview today: THE ex-
cessive cost of installing a plant for
the manufacture of coal tar products
coupled with the uncertain duration
of the war is almost prohibitive to
establishing such an enterprise in
this country. If peace were declared
tomorrow the Germans would force
these factories to shut down by rate
cutting. Is it any wonder then that
American capital hesitates to enter
this uncertain field?'
Newark is we'll represented on the
various committees, Adolph F. Mar
quier David Strauss, and Harry w.
Crooks, of Newark; are the chairmen
of their various departments, while

HOOVER EXPLAINS
PLAN OF RELIEF
Moneyed BeIgians Pay, but
Profits Are Used for
1900, 900 Destitute.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Alexander
]. Hemphill, treasurer here of the
Commission for Relief in Belgium,
made public today a letter he re-
ceived from Herbert c. Hoover, chair
man of the commission in London, in
which Mr.. Hoover says he regrets in
tensely that any misconstruction
should have arisen in America con-
cerning the operations of the COM
mission.
Mr.. Hoover explained the operation
of the two divisions of the commits
sion-the provisioning and the
benevolent departments. Through
the provisioning department, he said,
gift food is sold to those who are
able to pay for 1t, and the profits
realized therefrom go direct to the
support of the destitute Belgians who
receive aid from the benevolent de-
partment. Every concession which
the commission obtains in the pur-
chase of food, even though it is sold
at profit, he said, becomes a direct
contribution to the 100000 Belgians
who could not pay. 1t is the profit
made on this sale, added to the
charity of the world, which makes 1t
possible for the commission to feed
this great army of hungry persons,
Mr.. Hoover declared.
In a statement issued by the COM
mission here it was asserted that the
general impression in many sections
of the United States that the enor-
nous sum of $65,000,0Oo expended by
the commission for food consisted
wholly of charitable contributions
was a mistake. Only about one-fifth
of that sum was contributed by
charity, the statement said. The
great purchases of food were made
possible chiefly through the contri-
button of a large fund by banks and
the moneyed classes of Belgium and
by the sale of food to those Belgians
who were able to pay for 1t. These
constituted about four-f1fths of the
population.

CHICAGO, June 16.-Wheat ad-
vanced sharply today on account of
unfavora BILE weather over the South
west, with predictions of frost In
North Dakota. Drouth in Western
Europe counted also against the
bears. The absence of export busi-
ness, however, acted somewhat as a
check on the bulls. Opening prices,
which ranged from 3s@1A off to y up,
were followed by rise to more than
&c above last nights level all around.

Cotton Market

NEW YORK, June 16.-The cotton
market was very quiet early today.
Liverpool futures were slightly lower
than due and prices here opened at a
decline of l to points. Selling was
checked, however, by the larger Eng
lish spot sales, private crop report
indicating slight deterioration in
prospects since the latter part of
May, and a somewhat unsettled
weather map, with prices holding
steady during the first hour. New
Orleans was a moderate buyer here
around the opening figures, but busi-
ness was chiefly local.
