Government Agents on Trail
of Spectators in Food
and Other Necessaries.
PRICES INCREASE
As PER CT. IN YEAR
Large Part Of Rise in Prices Due to
Natural Economic Causes, Officials
Investigating High Cost of Liy-
ing Report.

Washington, Dec. Information
gathered from many sources by gov
eminent officials conducting the
nation wide enquiry into the high
cost of living, pointed with increas-
ing directness tonight, to the con-
clusion that the soaring prices Of
certain necessities of life were due to
some extent at least to the manipula-
tions of q combination of food and
other spectators.
These Combinations are believed by
the government Investigators to have
been criminal in character, although
rather spasmodic in their efforts and
rather short-lived.
Special attention is being given to
the alleged price manipulation on the
so-called "coal corner" which
recently sent prices to panic lev"l
in some cities. Whether the men who
profited the most can be punished
under the federal laws, is said to be
still under consideration.
Every federal agency with even a
remote relation to the situation VIZ
called on today to play its mart in the
investigation. A mass OF matnr1a
has poured into the attorney generate
office, all of which will hn studied al
onde and utilized where available
With the Investigation in its infancy
officials were unwilling tn predict to-
night, to where it might lead. The ac-
tivities of certain men, however, arc
known to be under surveillance.
No small part of the rise in prices
is due to natural economic causes
including the international balance OF
trade and the increased amount o.
currency in circulation. which have
direct bearing nthe situation. PR.

be conducted into foodstuffs and coal
but if leads are uncovered indicatlne
that other commodities. such as leath'
er and clothing, are affected, these
will be followed.
Roughly, the officials estimate thf
advance in foodstuffs during the veal
at As per cent. In this connection
it was pointed out that the depart
ment of justice had reported approx
mately an average shortage OF 10 pei
cent in the staple grain and produce
| crops.

R0ASIS JURORS
FOR VERDICT IN
AU1OISI'S CASE
Judge Lea Declares Negro
Who Killed Child Guilty
Second Degree Murder.

Little Rock, Dec. 7.-Arthur Carter,
negro auto driver. was convicted of in
voluntary manslaughter and sentenced
to 60 days in the state penitentiary
by jury in the circuit court here to-
day. Carriers car killed Kate Bolton,
aged six, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
P. D. Bolton, Of Argenta, in West Cap
itol avenue, on September 20. Wit
nesses for the negro testified he en-
deavored to stop his car, driving into
the curbing in his effort to avoid strik-
ing the little girl, who was hit by
the fender.
Circuit Judge Robert J. Lea severe
ly criticised the jury that returned the
verdict.
"This verdict is an outrage" said
Judge Lea to the jurors. "A verdict of
second degree murder clearly would
have been justified. Some persons
who drive automobiles think that
whenever they honk their honrs all
pedestrians should climb trees or tele-
graph poles"

Saws If Vessel Shown to Be
Passenger Ship Would Be
"Regrettable Mistake"
U-BOAT SITUATION
IS AGAIN SERIOUS
German Note on Destruction of Ship,
Carrying American, Referred to Pres.
ident, Who Is Considering Review I
of U-BOat Warfare on Commerce.

Washington, Dee. 7.-Germany's ac-
ceptance of responsibility for the
sinking without warning of the Brit
ish liner Arabia, with the explana-
ton that her submarine commander
took the vessel for an auxiliary war
ship. has brought the issue over sub
marine warfare to more serious and
clear cut basis than anything that has
happened since the threat of the Unit
ed States last April to break off diplo-
matte relations after the torpedoing
of the channel liner Sussex.
Such information as the American
government has, tends to show that
the Arabia, was a passenger ship, of
the Peninsular &, Oriental line, pass
| ing thru the Mediterranean on reg
ular voyage. Among the many pas
sengers waIst an American citizen, who
was rescued.
| The German note made public todaw
by the state department says if official
data is furnished showing that the
vessel was an ordinary passenger
steamer, "this. then, would be case
of regrettable mistake. from which
the German government would
promptly draw the appropriate con-
sequences"
1t is assumed here that the conse-
quences would be an expression of
regret and offer of reparation for any
injury or damage suffered by the
Americans on board.
| The note has been referred to Pres
ident Wilson, who is considering a.
review of recent German submarine
activity, to which the Arabia case
comes as a climax. There probably
will be no immediate action, as the
state department first must clear up
beyond question the exact status of
the liner when she was attacked.
Then it will be for the president to
decide what course SHALL be followed.
In official quarters, the German
explanation is regarded as weak and
unsatisfactory, no weight being at
tached to the statement that the
Arabia was painted like transport
and was following the route usually
taken by transports, and that the
submarines commander saw many
Cinnamon but no. women nor children
aboard her.
It is realized, however, that If Of
1 fetal data definitely establishes the
innocent character of the vessel, in
view of the Sussex note, virtually on
Nv one action remains to be taken by
the United States, and that would not
be taken until every possible consider
alton has been given Germany's po-
sition.

refused all comment, beyond the
mere publication of the note. it is

Not Yet Apparent Where
Rumanians and Russians
Will Face Teutons.
BUCHAREST TAKEN
WITHOUT A BATTLE
Berlin Reports That Only Fighting
Was Infantry North and West of
Capital, and That German Troops
Were Decorated with Flowers,
(Associated Press Summary


The Rumanian army, at last re-
ports. was still falling back all along
the inc of Bucharest, from the Trcn-
syvanian Alps to the Danube. Just
where it will stop and face about and
with it's Russian allies, make + stand
against the Teutonic allies. has not
yet become apparent.
On the Moldavian west from and
further north along the Bukowina
border, the Russian attacks against
he Austro-German forces have failed
TO make any impression. An official
communication from Berlin says
Bucharest was captured wit !cut any
fighting, except by the Rumanian i'll
fantry north and west of the capital.
The resistance was quickly overcome,
and the invaders entered the capital.
from all sides, being received with
enthusiasm by the populace AMI deco
lated with flowers.
Aside from Rumania, the greatest
interest still is centered in the poll
teal crisis in Great Britain. David
Lloyd George has formally accepted
from the king the post of prime
minister and first lord of the treas
ury, fact which is considered as in
dicating that he will be able speedily
to form ministry. The probable
make up of the cabinet has not been
announced.
On none of the fronts is sanguin-
airy battle in progress. For the most
part, the artillery is doing the
greater portion Of the work.
Bulgars Force British Back.
Berlin reports that the Bulgarians
have forced the British back in the
Struma river lowlands, near Sores,
in Macedonia, and that the Bulgars
and Germans have compelled the
evacuation by the Serbs of the posi-
tons they had previously captured
near Drenovo, in the Cerna river sec
tor. ''
West of Lutsk, in Volhynia, the
Teutonic allies have captured Rus
sian positions and successfully with
stood counter attacks.
The Vienna war office reports that
the Italians, after a vigorous bonn
bardment, launched two attacks on
the Carso front, but that both were
repulsed.
Artillery duels and exploits by
raiding parties continue on the fronts
in Belgium and France. The Germans
and the French are engaged in a
spirited artillery battle in the region
Of hill No. 304, northwest of Ver-
dun, where the Germans gained some
ground Wednesday,.
An explanation of the military ac-
| tivities of the reservisits has been
demanded by the British, French,
italian and Russian ministers at
Athens, according to an unofficial dis
patch.
