BOARDS OF TRADE AND
EXCHANGES TO BE PRoBED

Washington, Dec. 6.-Such organiza-
lions as the Chicago Board Of Trade,
the New York Produce Exchange and
exchanges where coffee, sugar and
other fo~odstuffs are dealt in may come
within the scope of the government
investigation into the high cost Of
living, It was announced, although it
has not been determined definitely
when they would be investigated.
Three factors are regarded by de-
partment of justice officials as prime
reasons for the increased cost Of liv-
ing. They are the natural economic
upward tendency of cost prices, the
desire of dealers to obtain as much as
possible for their wares even to the
extent of taking advantage of the sit
uation created by the war to advance
prices until warrantably and possible
agreements between producers or
dealers to increase prices.
The first factor, it was authorize.
lively announced, is the only one with
which officials are concerned. The
trade commission will cooperate with
the department to the extent Of sub
hitting such data as it already has
and of securing other data readily OBJ
tainabie.
In addition to the rise in foodstuffs,
officials have decided to investigate
thoroughly the causes for the recent
increase in coal prices. It was point.
ed out, however, that local increases,
such as the recent rise in the price
of coal sold to tenement house dwell
ers in New York and other large cit
les does not come within the federal
governments Jurisdiction.

picture and spotted Garner as the es-
capped convict. Garner was a trusty

five years for horse stealing. He had
been in the pen about a year and a
half when his old propensity seized
him. He showed discrimination in
picking out a good saddle horse TO
make his getaway. He selected a
shortlegged, stocky animal, bay in
color, with a reached name. He could
find no saddle, but he obtained a
bride and rode bare back as far as

brought back the bride. The horse

Dashing past the prison guards as

the cooks to prepare the morning
meal, I'VE convicts at the state peni-
Tertiary made q bold attempt to scale
the 18-foot brick walls at 6 o'clock

fired in their direction. So close did
some Of the shots come to the cou-

for years, at 6 o'clock the prison
guards unlocked the steel cell doors
in which slept the convicts who were
detailed as cooks. In each cooks cell
there also was another convict, who
had a separate cot with a sheet and
a blanket for covering.
Not ~suspecting any attempt at
freedom, the guards yesterday morn

The Germans, with the aid Of Aus

ish armies battered their way through
western Roumania to their present
~concentric position around Bucharest
within a wonderfully short time. They
have breasted the natural fortifca-
lions Of the Transylvanian mountains
and the Danube river and have beaten
their way through the strongest kind
of scientific defenses obviously pre-
pared long in advance. They have
thrown the Russian army, numbering
hundreds Of thousands Of men, back
in such disorder that even apparently
impregnable positions such as these
along the rivers Alt and Argechu
could not be held more than a few
hours. The line of the Argechu river
with its flooded dashing torrent 300
yards to a quarter Of a mile wide,
forming a natural defense appeared
to be so strong that the Germans
themselves expected this last line of
defense before Bucharest would re-
guire time and hard effort to force.
But the river was crossed both to the
north and to the south of the city al
most without breaking the ride Of the
advancing armies. The Roumanians
left the bridges across the stream to

THIS is DECLARATION OF DAVID
STARR JORDAN, WHO PLACES
BLAME FOR EUROPEAN WAR
ON SMALL GROUP OF GREEDY
MEN

A
logan, Utah, Dec. 6.-Declaring
that France and Belgium were the
only nations involved Id the Euro.
pean war that are fighting in self-de-
Tense, Dr.. DAVID Starr Jordan, educa-
tor and International peace advocate,
in discussing The present war to stu.
dents at the Utah university, placed
the blame for the gigantic struggle
upon a small group Of powerful greedy
men. He said in part:
'sThe intense nati0nalistic hatred,
fostered in the common people by
every device known to Tory and reac-
tionary newspapers in England and
Germany, has obscured the horizontal
cleavage which divides the people Of
all the warning nations into agrarian
nobility, military leaders and trade
kings in one stratum and the liberal
minded, progressive, middle classes
in another.
when the smoke Of battle clears
away and Europeans again have q
clear vision, it will be seen that this
war was the result Of the greed Of q
small group OF powerful men fighting
for supremacy not only in England
and Germany, but In the world,
France and Belgium are the only ma
tions which are really fighting In self
defense.
There is a large body Of people
both in Germany and England who
are eager for peace, but they r al
most completely obscured by the CEN
sors. The r~eactionaries IN the British
coalition cabinet have almost muz-
zled democracy in England, where the
Tory element is in control. In Ger
many the radical advocates Of fright
fulness, of which Won Tirpitz was the
leader, have been thrust out Of office
by BethmanntHollweg, a comparative
ly liberal man and perhaps the great
est statesman in Europe today"
Any statement as to wnen the war
will end, Or. Jordan declared is mere
guess work. q do not Q how it can
last much longer, however" he said.
Speaking OF the censorship which
he declared England e%nforces over all
mail to the United States, even that
coming from other neutral nations,
DR.. Jordan declared that "if it were
not done by the motherland, the Unit
ed States would not stand for 1t an
other week"
