 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-The pinch of high prices for virtually every commodity that goes 10 make up a Thanksgiving dinner was felt today by market shoppers in every city of size on the Pacific coast. The smaller com munities were more favored by reason of their proximity to the truck gardens and poultry farms and the cost of sup plies was not quite so emphasized as in the centers Of population. Turkeys generally were to be had at prices ranging from twenty five to thirty eight cents per pound, but at these fig - ufes, which were only slightly higher than those of last year. there was no lack Of purchasers
 careful appraisal of sentiment in San Francisco by the poultry retailers developed that there was little likeli- hood of boycott on turkeys and as q result, 250 tons of dressed turkeys have been shipped to the local markets in the last two days. Mince pies and con- fections have scared. however. This was explained by dealers as rcsltinq from the price of eggs which retailed today at sixty cents q dozen. Raisins one Of the chief products of California were 35c a pound. whereas last year they were 22c. Pumpkin pies cost six " cents; butter was ninety cents for q two-pound square, and bread was sis cents a loaf

 WASHINGTON. Nov 29.-With the arrival in Washington of members of congress the subject of general dis cussion dominant among them is the high cost of living and the food em- bargo to be urged by Representative Fitzgerald of New York as a remedy.
 The discussion has presented a wide variety of views some members be- lieve that an embargo is not the remedy for existing conditions and the subject threatens to lead 10 much dshate in congress. Representative Fitzgerald said today that he wonld have the bills ready for introduction Monday bearing on the proposed em- bargo. Among other house members who talked of the situation today were Minority Leader Mann, Representative Rorland of Missouri, and Representa- tive McLemore of Texas. Mir. Mann said he did not believe an embargo would be placed on food products and that it was not a remedy for the evil An embargo offered as a retaliatorv measure, in his opinion, differed great ly from embargo to regulate prices and sufficient warrant did not exist for q retaliatory embargo.
 Representative Borland doubted the wisdom of an embargo but thought the soaring prices of food stuffs could be checked hv some form of legislation. Representative .McLemore was inclined to favor ;he embargo.

 DETROIT Mich. Nov. 29.-Counsel for the Dodge brothers in closing argument In circuit court today for an injunction to prevent Henry Ford from developing the Ford Motor com panys business with the profits of the concern. declared that the Dodges and not Ford were responsible for the company's success.
 The attorney traced the history of the Ford Motor company from its organization. Speaking of Ford's eff forts to raise money to organize the company in 1903. he referred to the manufacturer as "an inventive genius or an inveftiVe crank" He declared that it was the mechanical and en- gineering ability of Horace E.. and John r. Dodge, who became associated with Ford, that gave the company the business impetus which brought sue cess.
 The attorney for the Ford company maintained that the state law which provides that no company may in corporate for more than $25. .000. 900 in Michigan has not been violated. He declared that the law affects only the ,apital stock of a company. The Ford Motor company is capitalized at | g., 900. .000.
 "When the legislature said capital stock. they meant capital said op- posing counsel "They recognized the danger that the concentrating of capi- | tal in the hands of one corporation or individuals. means the community 'He declared that the Ford Motor

 The left flank of the forces of the central powers have now captured the important railroad junction of Pete chti, sixty-five miles north'~ st of Bu- charest.

Turkish troops are fighting with the Germans and Austrians in this region. The Russian official communication
 asserts that the Russian attack east and south of Kirlibaba has resulted in | the capture in both regions of ridges
 and the taking of TOO men prisoners. The Berlin war office admits that | slight gains were made but says the | Russians suffered heavy casualties Apparently little infantry fighting | has taken place on any of the other | fronts.

 ST. JOSEPH, Mo. Nov. 29.-The defense of Oscar D. McDaniel, pIos- ecuting attorney of Buchanan county, who is on trial on the charge of hav- ing murdered his wife. closed late to- day and court adjourned until Friday when the introduction of states rebut- tai testimony will begin.
 After the accused man had occu- pied the stand a large part of the day. the defense ended its case with the introduction of Odell Mcdaniel F years old son of the indicted prose cutor His testimony consisted pr!n- cipally of the brief statement:
 My father and mother loved each other"
 Mir Mcdaniel was called to the stand after his aged father and two of his sisters had testified that his married life had been happy. Did you assault your wife2" he was asked on direct examination.
 T did not" Mcdaniel answered. The court room audience was the largest that has attended any session Of the trial and heard the prosecutor tell his story calmly. He sat with hands clasped most of the time he was on the stand. Now and then. in the tense silence that pervaded the court room during his testimony. he drew his handkerchief from his pocke; and wiped his lips.
 Mir Mcdaniel gave his version of the events the night of the murder July IA This was that he had left his home about 7:45 D. m. to go to lodge but had left there about an hour later to watch two road houses concerning which complaint was made.

 WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-As an em- ergency measure to relieve the freight car shortage. the Interstate Commerce Commission today authorized railroads to establish and maintain until May next. progressive demurrage scale, higher than the present flat rate of sl a day. The scale is a compromise be- tween the proposed graduated schedule in the railroad tariffs recently suspend ed and the rates suggested by ship pers' interests"
 The rates will become effective three days after each railroad files with the commission it's formal schedule, or probably within a week.
 Under the new scale. two free days are allowed and then charges are s1 for the third day. g. for the fourth day, $3 for the fifth, and S5 for the sixth and each day thereafter. The rule that charges shall be suspended on days when weather prevents unloading and the so-called average agreement by which credit is allowed shippers who unload in less than the two free days, are retained.
 The suspended schedules provided for two free days and charges of S2 for the third day. s3 for the fourth, $4 for the fifth, and 8 for the sixth and each day thereafter. with the weather rule eliminated. and the average agree ment modified. The National Industrial Traffic League. a shippers organiza tion. at a hearing. made a suggested rate of $1 a day for the third and fourth days, s2 a day for the fifth and sixth days, and s for each day there after.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-Ambassa- dor Gerard conferred with President Wilson late today, and received final instructions on views to be presented to the German government regarding the deportation of Belgians and sub marine warfare.
 No written communications have been given the ambassador but Mir. Wilson outlined to him fully the atti- tude of the American government to- ward pending issues. The president Is understood to have emphasized the un- favorable imnression created here by Germany's treatment of the BelgiaaS and to have reiterated that the United States has said it's last word on submarine warfare and expected Ger many to live up to her pledges. After spending an hour with the president, Mir. Gerard left for New York. He plans to sail for Berlin December , if his private business permits. During the day the ambassador went to the state department for a final conference with Secretary Lansing and also talked with Secretary Daniels and other offi- cials. While Mir. Gerard would not dis cuss the conference for publication he , is said to have informed the president that Germany undoubtedly is ready for peace on terms satisfactory to her. Whether the ambassador will have a conference in New York with Col F. M House before leaving for Berlin was undecided when he left here.

WARSHIP MAY 60 FOR AUSTRIAN DIPLOMAT

It was decided, however, that it was unnecessary to take such action at this stage of the negotiations when it is hoped that a firm statement of the general principles of international law in the case will cause a re-considera- ton by the allies. If the present note meets with an unsatisfactory response 1t is admitted that a very difficult sit uation will be developed
 The allied embassies are deeply con- cerned over the resentment felt by the Washington government and are talk ing unusual care to keep their govern ments fully informed It is not known that they have forwarded any direct representations to their governments except insofar as the nature of their information is in itself a recommenda- tion. Nevertheless, officials have every hope that this informal action by the diplomatic representatives of the na- tions will go far toward influencing a change of attitude.
 Should the replies prove unfavor- able. the United States might send a final note notifying the allies to dis turb the Austrian envoy at their own risk. or it might be decided to send an American merchantmen or warship to some neutral ports to receive the ambassador and bring him across the Atlantic. As yet. however, such d con- tingency has hardly been contemplated

FL PASO, Nov. 29.-The first for eign refugee to leave Chihuahua City since the siege began, arrived here to- night, reporting that Villa and Julio Acosta were in control of part of the city, when he made his escape by au- tomobile at o'clock this morning. Owing to the fact that he had been in close hiding, he explained that he had no means of knowing first hand just what had happened or even the whereabouts of General Trevino.
 CarranZa forces were holding hard to their part of the city, according to the refugee, who added that he un- derstood that all the foreigners were safe at least to the extent of leaving the area through which Villa fought his way.
 He reported having seen 1885 bandits at Los Tanques. d small settlement a short distance southwest of Guadalupe and about 30 miles southeast of Juarez.
 He said the column was moving in t.e general direction of Villa Ahumada. south of Juarez and were all well armed and equipped. He was not molested by the bandits. he said. as the head of the column had passed out of sight when he passed through Los Tanques and he saw only the rear guard he said.
 United States army officers stationed at Fabens, Texas 32 miles southeast of here. and opposite Guadalupe. Chi huahua. were notified today and dis patched scouts to investigate the pres ence of bandits SO near the border. The Juarez military officers were also nO- tified of the reported presence of the bandit force.
 Cannon firing ceased some time early Monday morning. but the small arms firing continued through Monday and Tuesday. the refugee said upon his ar rival here by way of Villa Ahumada and Guadalupe He admitted knowing nothing more about the military situa- tion in the capital than the reports brought to him from time to time by servants and others, who came to his home, which is near the home of Gen eral Trevino. he said.
 He was told he said. that Villa was at the American Smelling and Refin- ing company plant with a force of men. This is east of the city. He said much of the fighting had been confined to the south. as Villa entered the town from that side on last Thursday morn- ing. The refugee explained that he had not been out Of his house since that time until he left in his automo- bile for the border.
 When he left at 2 a. m today he said he could hear rifle shots in dif- ferent parts of the city. but was not molested as he drove out. Only two men appeared on the street down which
