HORSES DIE MYSTERIOUSLY

Anton Bergen has lately lost three
valuable horses at his ranch three
miles northwest of Genesee. The
horses died at intervals of two or
three days, after being indisposed for
a few days veterinary was called
in each case, but found no evidence of
disease and was not able to give the
animals any relief. 1t is thought that
the deaths might have been due TO
poison, though Mr.. Bergen and his
son are at loss to know how the
horses could have been poisoned.
Members of the agricultural college
staff will investigate the case.

mittee unanimously selected Senator
Harding of Ohio to be temporary
chairman of the republican national
convention to be held here in June.
1t is believed that Senator Harding

the party. Some considered him as
compromise chairman to conciliate
Colonel Roosevelt He will deliver
the keynote speech Of the campaign at
the convention.
Chairman Hills said that Colonel
Roosevelt's announcement Of his can
didacy for the presidency was not
mentioned at the brief committee
meeting preceding Harding's selec-
ton. He wouldn't comment on Roose-
velt's candidacy Mr.. Williams OF
Oregon said that the only surprise in
connection with Rooseyelt's announce
ment was its mildness.

LIVING STANDARD
Few Americans Able to
Pay for as Good Food
as Formerly

A lower standard Of living has been
forced on the great majority Of Ameri-
cans in the last two years. Only COM
parative few are maintaining that
which was theirs a year or two ago,
and In order to do 1t they have been
compelled TO double their household
budgets.
Economists, sociologists and trade
and manufacturing experts agree that
the cause is the tremendous advance in
the prices Of all commodities and the
failure Of incomes to increase proper
tionately.
Wages have remained practically
stationary in all callings. There has
been little advance In any Of the trades
except those engaged, directly or indi-
rectly, in the manufacture OF NUM-
tons.
Meats have advanced four cents and
upward a pound In the last four years.
Vegetables and other farm products
bring from so TO 125 Der cent more than
they did four years ago. Wearing ap-
parel, from shoes TO hats, has increased
in an even greater degree. Rents have
increased in the cities, and the price Of
coal and wood has gone up the country
over.
Not only have the articles that go
into the budget OF the healthy families

Grand Jury Witness
Reveals Bread Profits

A score of subpnnas have been
served on bakers and others connected
with the bread industry to appear next
week before the grand jury to testify
in the inquiry into the rise in bread
prices. Several of these witnesses are
expected to tell all they know about
meetings of the boss bakers at which.
it is alleged, a price increase was
agreed upon, in violation OF the state
antitrust act.
One witness told Assistant District
Attorney Elder yesterday that the cost
of bread ingredients was as follows
Flour, one barrel, $3.50; yeast, 80
cents sugar, 80 cents; salt, cents;
fat Gin kosher butter), 40 cents; milk,
80 cents.
To this, the witness said. were added
overhead charges of not more than p
per cent, making the total cost $40
One barrel makes 377 twelve-ounce
loaves, which at 6 cents a loaf means
S22.62. Retailers get cent and halt
a loaf, leaving a net profit to the baker
of S6.97 on each barrel of flour, an
equivalent of slightly less than cents
a loaf.
The witness charged in an affidavit
that adulterated -four. substitute oils
and deleterious chemicals were used
by nearly all the big baking concerns.
Even bakers who catered to discrimi-
mating trade, the witness said, bought
-four at times from concern between
the Battery and City Hall which mixed
widowed and damaged -four with bet
ter grades. He said that the cargo of
a -four barge that recently sank in the
Hudson River was taken TO this mill
for renovation and was afterward sold
10 New York bakers.

10000 IN HUGHES
COLLEGE LEAGUE
Army of Men Putting
Hard Work Into
Campaign

The Hughes National College League
has enrolled more than 10000 college
men, the largest number ever brought
together under one banner. Inc
leagues share in the campaign Is no
college-yell effort but concerted
sober and earnest endeayor to solidify
the intelligence OF the country IN sup
port Of Hughes.
Under the leadership Of Theodore Z.
Burton, Of Ohio, as presidest, and OF
George Brokaw Compton, OF New YORK.
as national campaign manager, these
10000 college graduates are devoting
to the cause all the hours they can
spare from business. Branches have
been organized in practically every
city containing enough college men TO
make an organization possible
Men Carefully Organized
As soon as the campaign started
quarter of a million letters were sent
out to college graduates, and soon
thousands of enrolments began blow
ing into the leagues headquarters, at
oil Fifth Avenue. The enrolment
cards were filed according to states
cities and colleges, and other circular
letters were sent TO the members ask
ing what line of work interested them
most-campaign speaking, personal
solicitation, the organization OF pa
rades or meetings, or any other or the
thousand and one things that must be
done to render a campaign effective.
The responses were most satisfactory.
In New York particularly the WORK
of the league has already gained great
momentum and Is thoroughly organ
lied. Those who have elected to DO
campaign speaking have been formed
into a class to discuss the issues OF the
campaign, TO 60 over In detail the
salient points and to consider the most
effective means of driving them home.
A great many others have been making
personal canvasses Of voters, especially
faboring to convince the undecided.
Get Out Big Registration
During last week a large force Of
Hughes college men were kept busy
getting out as heavy a registration as
possible. Now that this work is over
thew will switch TO that of organizing
meetings and of preparing TO get out
the vote. Many are doing clerical work
at headquarters after their business
hours.
The leagues publicity bureau keeps
several busy. This bureau is up TO its
ears in work distributing propaganda
and campaign material to newspapers
in every city in the country Of 5000 or
more Inhabitants. 1t also keeps the
branch organizations in touch with the
work Of the league as a whole and with
each development Of the campaign.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-10-15

great deal Of unnecessary price boost
ing. One of them summed IL up thus:
"Tbe Democratic party, from Presl-
dent Wilson down, has been shouting
that the country was never so prosper
Gus in all its history, that wages are
higher now than they ever were pc
fore, that there is more wealth. ms
shouting has not been lost on the
crooked dealer, who capitalizes TINS
oratorical prosperity and makes NJ
tie additional on the side by exaggerat-
ing the demands made on this country
for foodstuffs."
Whatever the reason may be, the
fact Is that many articles OF 1000 IN
this country cost more than they 90
in the countries at war. A striking
example of this is found in pread;
which costs about eight cents pound
here-double the price In England or
Germany, where bread Is sold Tor
little more than four cents pound.
Wheat and Flour Speculation
Wheat and flour statisticians admit
that the element of speculation has
been a big factor in the soaring prices
Of wheat and -four. Although this
years United States wheat crop has
been 4O0,O00,000 bushels less than
1853 bumper crop, there Is no danger
Of famine. In fact, the surplus left
over from last year with the surplus
over and above this country's needs
Of this years crop totals by more than
half the total sales TO date for export
One big -four broker said yesterday
that he looked forward to seeing wheat
at 50 a bushel. which would mean $40
q barrel for -four, which is now bring
ing 1910, with Is cents added for fancy
grades.
Joseph Hartigan, secretary Of Mayor
Mitchels Food Committee, declared
that prices on all foodstuffs would be
10 to 20 per cent higher on January 1
than they are now This, as Mr.. Harti-
gan pointed out, would mean an In
crease of 60 to 70 per cent over prices
that obtained just prior to the out
break of the European war.
"A Federal restriction upon exports
an embargo on foodstuffs-seems to
be the only possible solution Of the
problem" said Mr.. Hartigan.
Just why prices should be higher in
January or just why there should be
any talk of food embargo is a mystery
TO disinterested wholesalers. who ad-
nit there is far more produced by this
country than It needs in practically
every item that goes on the table.
Certainly 1t Is mystery to the Demo
Gratis who voted for President Wilson
and tho Democratic members of Con-
gress in 1912 why prices began TO soar
Immediately after Mr.. Wilson and the
Democratic Congress took Office In 1913.

NEW WILSON NAVY
STILL ONLY PAPER
No Move Has Yet Been
Made Even to Prepare
for Building
From The Tribune Bur-rl-I

Washington, Oct. 14.-Serious con-
Germ is being caused to friends of the
navy by the delay in startii construc-
ton of the ships authorized by the last
Congress. Naval officers fear the time
before the laying Of keels for the
eight capital ships Congress intended
should be started this year will stretch
interminably.
The opinion Is frankly expressed at
the Navy Department that nothing
whatever will BIO done about the new
ships, aside from the drawing Of plans
which is a continual activity, until far
into the next Administration.
Although Congress was 70 intent on
haste that 1t authorized the Secretary
of the Navy to increase the cost Of the
ships 20 per cent as bonus for speed,
the Administration seems undisturbed
as it lets the months slip by without
action.
No Move to Prepare Yards
Naval officers are particularly indig-
nant that the department hrs made no
step toward equipping four additional
navy yards for the construction of cap
ital ships. 1t was thought at the time
Congress was considering the naval
bill that, owing to the pressure on pri-
vate shipyards, it might be necessary
TO construct some of the eight big
ships in navy yards. Six million dol
lars was appropriated TO equip the
yards. In addition to the two yards
now equipped to build dreadnoughts--
New York and Mare Island--it was pro-
vided that Norfolk, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and Puget Sound should be made
ready for the bigger ships. But not a
hand has been turned toward this work,
although It will require almost a year.
Meanwhile, the two dreadnoughts
authorized in March, 1915, still exist
only as plans in the New York and
Mare Island yards. A little material
has been gathered, but that is all.
Their keels cannot be laid, it Is said,
for some time yet Assuming three
years for completion after the keels
are laid. the ships will be ready just
four and one-half years after authori-
zation, even If there is no further
delay.
