MIR. TAVENNER: Throughout the
existence of the Navy League there
have been several distinct groups rep
resented, made up of officers, directors,
attorneys and employees. The most
important of these are the J. P. Nor
gan group, the Bethlehem Steel group,
the Carnegie Steel group, the Midvale
Steel group, the Harvey Steel group,
and last, but not least, Colonel Thomp-
sons International Nickel company
group. These groups will be found
we'll represented in the leagues Off
GERS, directorates, contributors and
vice presidents for each and every
year since the birth of the Navy League
in 1902.
There are 10 men in the list Of
founders, and Of those 10 the majority
were connected with concerns and es-
Establishments which, through inter-
locking directorates, connect in turn
with manufacturers Of war materials
and things which go into war mater
ials. 1 have carefully compiled list
Of the directors of the Navy League for
every year from the day it was organ
lied down to date. Always a predom-
inant number on the board of direc-
tors are war traffickers orr persons
connected, through interlocking direc-
torates, with the war-trust manufac-
| turers. The interests that are back of
the Navy League are exactly the same
interests that are back of the war traf-
| ticking firms, and the group of indi-
viduals who are back of the war traf-
| fickers are the same men who are back
of the great railroad companies of the
United States, the great steamship
companies, the great insurance COM
panies, the telegraph companies, the
express companies, and the great Wall
Street banks, and even the beef trust
is represented
am not going to go into all Of it,
but l have all the details worked out,
showing that the presidents of banks
and steel companies and copper COM
panies and steamship companies are
all boosting for staggering increases
in the appropriations for the army and
the navy. For instance, the three dom
inant figures in the copper industry in
this country are the Guggenheims, who
are represented among the contribu-
tors to the Navy League; ". A. Clark
the copper king of Montana, who is an
active director of the Navy League
and Cleveland H. Dodge, who is vice
president of the Navy League. They
are all represented here.
Now | come down to the officers OF
the Navy League today. The presi-
dent Of the league, Colonel Robert M
! Thompson. the gentleman who was I'M
kind enough to threaten to sue me but
not kind enough to do it applause or
the democratic side), is chairman OF
the board of directors of the Interna,
tional Nickel company, the business o.
which, according to the Wall Street
Journal. has been very much improved
by the war.

Nickel company interlocks with thai

Where Health is important.

A dozen walters and kitchen help
ers in restaurants were recently found
to be suffering with tuberculosis.
Three walters were found to be suffer
ing with pyorrhoea. Four had chronic
ear suppuration (discharging earl, and
many were victims of an all too prev
alent disease, sometimes immorally,
sometimes innocently contracted.
These cases were found by Drs. Bar
low and Bran in Philadelphia, but be-
yond the shadow of a doubt every
other city can boast a similar record.
Curiously enough, handlers and pur-
veyors of food are frequently the most
uncleanly persons one sees. The per-
sonal habits of many walters and kit
chen helpers are abominable, and out
side Of the very many typhoid fever
epidemics which have been positively
traced to carriers" communicating
food by their uncleanly habits, there
are on record authentic instances Of
such disease as referred to above, for
instance, being spread by walters.
If the average city health depart
ment would devote one-half of the en-
ergy and money now expended in the
silly rite of fumigating to the bust
ness of inspecting persons who han
die food, a good deal of illness might
be prevented. We have pure food"
laws, but We need also protection
against the unclean handlers of food.
Pure food" is no longer pure after
dirty waiter or filthy cook handles
it.
And let is be said at once that mere
white enamel. bathroom style restau-
rants and lunchrooms are not any
cleaner than plain wooden ones. A
beautiful marble slab or a bit of plate
glass highly polished may be reek-
ing with disease germs, whereas an
implanted wooden table may be abso-
lutely sanitary. The popular notion
that a thing is sanitary because it is
white or clean looking is wrong. There
is no reason whatever for such a be-
lief except the commercialization of
that over-worked term. sanitary"
A great railroad system some time
ago inaugurated medical inspection of
all employees Of its dining service. both
on trains and in stations. What is
the reason why medical inspection of

lers OF food is not included In tn.

GASOLINE PRICES

Representative Ben Johnson, of Ken
lucky, has introduced a measure in
the national house of representatives
which is designed to curb the unholy
profits taken by the gasoline producers
OF the United States. Mr.. Johnson's
measure is provoked by the investiga-
ton of gasoline prices now current
Mr.. Johnson proposes to fix a maxi
mum retail price of Is cents a gallon
by authorizing tax of 81 a gallon
on all gasoline sold for more than Is
cents, but not to tax gasoline sold at
less than that price. Such tax would
automatically curb the greed of the
oil companies of the nation.
Gasoline is one of the things which
modern industrial conditions has made
necessity in this country. Without
gasoline there are hundreds of indus
tries that would be forced to the wall,
and therefore any attempt at extortion-
ate prices by the producers should be
amenable to regulation.
The United States, although it is the
largest user of gasoline in the world,
is also the largest producer of both
crude oil, from which gasoline is made,
and the finished product. Much more
gasoline is made in America than home
consumption demands and gasoline is
not subject to foreign competition. No
step in the production of gasoline is
costly, in fact until the invention and
extended use of the internal combus-
tion engine offered a field for gasoline
1t was drug on the market and was
allowed to waste in many refineries.
Crude oil production has increased in
America in proportion TO the increas-
ing demand for gasoline. so scarcity of
raw material cannot be offered as ex-
tenuation for high prices, and, in fact
considered from every angle, there is
seemingly no legitimate reason for the
exorbitant prices that are being charg-
ed.
Representative Johnson's price reg
iIlation plan may lack the elements OF
sound legislation but that some means
10 curb the rapacity Of the men who
control the product should and can be
evolved there need be no doubt.
Arbitrary fixing of prices by law has
never been a success. What the gov
eminent can do, however, is to en-
force the untrammeled operation OF
the natural law Of supply and demand
If it is shown supply is being deliber-
ateiy curtailed or that prices are boost
ed through agreement Of manufactur.
ers, the Sherman antitrust law may
be invoked

The Daily Story
An Aspirant for Crmina Honors-By Louise B. Cummings

The city Of Naples is protected FROM
the waters of the bay on which 1t is
built by q sea wall. At the northern
end Of this wall is landing to which
few boats are fastened. One day
two men lounged on this landing. One
Of them said to the other:
Luigi, how is it that you always
have money to spend and yet you new
er work, while I am usually hunting
for a job and can never get one I'M
less it is unloading the ships at the
docks on the other side Of the city?
And, 1 can assure you. that Is very
hard work and poor pay"
A knowing look came upon Luigfs
face. only fools work, Giovanni" he
said. Wise men plan"
81 know what you mean," said Clio
vanni. What you call wisdom is ar
ranging to take ones share Of the
good things of the earth Of which he
has been unjustly deprived. That is
all very well for you, for If you get
caught you are not punished, while I
well, would suffer the penalty"
What do you mean by that?"
You know very well that when you
are tried your friends are in court
A witness is called to testify against
you. You clasp your hands together
over your breast dolorously. The wit
ness knows that IL he testifies against
you he will be killed. How is all
this arranged?"
"Do you really wish to become one
of us?'
Il surely do"
We'll, l have my eye on a rich man
who should by rights divide with me,

ler Go to him and solicit the place.
When you see a chance for a good
haul make it, divide with me, and 1
will see. if you are arrested and tried
for maintaining your right. that you
are protected"
Giovanni accepted the proposition,
went to one Signor Murelli and obtain
ed the position Of butler, to Luigis
surprise. with very little difficulty.
Within a month he left Murellfs serv-
ice with 1000 lire, which he divided
with Luigi Giovanni was arrested
and tried. but the witnesses against
him were cowed, and he was acquit-
ted
One day soon after that he went to
his friend Luigi and said: Il have
heard that the police are on the track
of the murderer of Francelli, who was
done to death six months ago. They
have laid trap for him. and he will
very likely walk into it"
What trap?"
"As to that, il give information

1915 aggregated almost five and one
cedin1 year Of more than s1,450, 000.-
600. Such figures made 1915 the most
remarkable year in our commercial
history and the statement is often
heard that the United States is now
the commercial leader Of the world.
Under such conditions it is natural
that the attention of the people should
be conferred on foreign trade with
scarcely thought of the magnitude of
our domestic commerce. How many
citizens of this country know that all
of our foreign commerce since the
Civil war was not more than one-fifth
Of our home trade for the one year of
1915?
The home trade of the United States
last year was something over five hun
dred billions, an increase over 1915 of
something like f1fty-eight billions. The
bank clearings of the country approx
mated 1877 billions, an increase OF
$4,000, 100000 over the previous year.
The wealth of the United States at this
time is estimated at 21S,000,00 900, an
increase of 10,000,000,000 The value
of manufactured products aggregated
S0,000,000,0 900. an increase Of 4,000,-
100000.
With such statistics before us our
foreign trade, great as it is, sinks into
linsignificance. The increase in our
foreign commerce amounted to only
20 per cent of the increase in our do
nestle commerce. The increase in
bank clearings was 20 times as great
as the increase in foreign trade. The
value of the manufactures of the state
Of New York alone was probably close
to three times as great as the increase
in our foreign trade, while for the en-
| tire country the value Of manufactures
| it is estimated, was at least twenty
times as great.
| 1t seems that, after all, foreign COM
merce plays a very small part in the
business Of the American people. The
United States itself offers a market sc
| large that it is unnecessary, in most
cases, to seek an outlet for goods else
where. Our foreign commerce can
never amount to more than a small
| fraction of the business done within
| the United States and when this truth
thoroughly impresses itself in the
minds Of the American people there
will be less emphasis placed upon the
importance of exports and imports tc
and from foreign countries.

murderer went to him and nv,
what he had heard. IL was aprs.s
that Giovanni should be paid 800 H..
for the secret. Giovanni refused -
deal with any one except the person
most concerned, but consented IN fan
things to prove that On his informs.
ton depended the safety Of the Grim.
inaL. This frightened the latter ana
knowing that Giovanni had robbed NJ,
master and had been protected from
punishment by the society Of criminal,
he felt It would be safe to trust him
He therefore agreed to meet him ana
hear what he had TO say.
When the two met Giovanni demand
ed his pay before giving the informa.
ton. Criminals do not keep thait
money long, and the murderer, whose
name was Andrea Cavelli, could raise
only a part Of the sum agreed upon
Giovanni accepted 1t on condition ths,
Cavelli would give his note for ths
rest, shpulating what the payments
were for. Cavelll baked at this for
awhile, but when Giovanni reminded
him that he himself was a criminal
and had applied through Luigi FIR
membership In the Society For Mutual
Criminal Protection he consented and
signed the note filed In as Giovanni
desired.
The first installment having BEEN
paid Giovanni said the police knew
that Caveln was the murderer Of Fran.
celli, but had nothing except oral to-
t1mony against him, which would BE-
frowned down at the trial by memben
Of the Society For Mutual Protection
The government had therefore secured
the services of woman, who was to
enthrall Cavelli and secure evidence
that could not be suppressed BY
threats. All Cavelli had to do to keep
himself safe was to beware Of any
woman who seemed disposed to favor
him. But Giovanni declared that a.
i soon as the police had found the proper
person for the decoy he would know 1t
and would communicate it to CavelH
The day after this arrangement had
been made party Of the carabinier
arrested Cavelli, and the officer who
commanded it was Giovanni
He had been instructed by the gov
eminent to track the murderer Of
Francelli and for the purpose had
| made the acquaintance Of Luigi The
position of butler had been given him
by Murelli with the understanding
that he was Of the carabinieri and
that the robbery of his master was
faxed. In this way he gained the con.
| fidence Of the criminals and succeeded
in SECURING the written evidence need
ed 10 convict the murderer, for the
note Cavelli had given him was held
to be tantamount to confession.
Cavelli was brought to trial. and a
number Of his friends were in court,
expecting to terrify witnesses. They
had no opportunity.
