ASKS FEDERAL CONTROL
FOR BIG FOUNDATIONS
Untermyer Says Organizations Should
Have Licenses-Do Much Good
and No Harm.

New York, Jan. 20.-Federal incor-
poration for the Rockefeller founda-
ton and for other foundations en-
dowed to help humanity was advocated
here on 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 100000
600. Other recommendation by Mr..
Untermyer were:
l. That the charters given to the
foundations by the United States gov
eminent should be limited.
2. That the size of the foundations
should be limited.
8. 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.

Soaring Prices Cause President to
Start Investigation.
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

ASKS BRITAIN TO EXPLAIN
Washington Would Like Facts in Con-
nection With Detention of Vessel
Steamer Dacia to Sail-U. S.
Issues War Risk Policy.

Washington. Jan. 22-The state de-
partment has requested of the British
embassy information of why the
American steamer Greenbrier, from
New Orleans and Norfolk to Bremen,
with cotton under certificate of the
British consul at New York. was
stopped by a British cruiser, sent I'M
der British flag to a British port and
detained two days before being al
lowed to complete her voyage to
Bremen.
The detention of the Greenbrier was
brought to the attention OF the state
department by kilograms from Cap
tain Farley, her commander, now at
Bremen. Farley stated that the
Greenbrier was overhauled on Deem
Der 80 by British cruiser. The board
ing officer required him to continue
on his course conveyed by the cruiser
for a day or two while the cargo was
being searched for arms.
Then the cruiser placed aboard the
Greenbrier some additional British Of
fcers, hoisted the British flag, and a
prize crew, who navigated the ship so
that, according to Captain Farley, 1t
was damaged before 1t was brought
into Kirkwall There the Greenbrier
remained for three days, Captain Far
ley refusing to sail it further except
under the American flag. The British
authorities finally consented to the
raising of the American flag and Cap
tain Farley took his ship to Leith.
The points upon which the state de-
partment wants information are, first,
why it was necessary to search the
GTeenbrier in view of the certificate
issued by the British consul at New
York, and second. why neutral mer-
chant vessel was compelled to lower
Its flag when under no known rule
