SPEAKER CLARK
SEEKS REMEDIES
FOR HIGH COST

Washington. Nov. 28.--If the high
cost of living bothers you. don't wait
for governmental remedies but buy
some laying hens and eat more corn
products and rice, says Speaker Clark.
Not that he does not think the govern
ment can help bring down the price of
foodstuffs. by Legislative or other ac-
ton. but he pins great faith in more d.
rect methods.
Thus the speaker expressed himself
today on the high cost of living prob
lem, which he regards as one of the
greatest facing the nation. He referred
to Rep. Fitzgeralds embargo bill.
There may or may not be chance
for Mr. Fitzgerald's proposed bill" he
said. 1T might do some good; l don't
know. / think the government can helm
lower food prices by Legislative or 9TH
er action, but do know there>are ways
by which the consumer can cut down
his expenses
For instance. everyone who can
should keep some hens. And any man
who has 20 square feet of ground can
keep them.
People should eat more corn pro-
ducts, too Mush is highly nutritious
and isn't eaten enough
Rlce is, too, generally overlooked in
this country. I was surprised to hear
the other day that five cents worth of
rice will serve as substitute for
bread for an entire day in a family of
six people,"
The speaker DECLARED that he will
urge passage this year of a federal law
prohibiting the killing of veal calves
Such a measure failed at the last ses-
sion. He also expressed the view that
the egg spectators violate the law in
holding eggs for a raise in price and
that people We're foolish to permit
their butter prices to be regulated from
one point in this country.
Mr.. Clark thinks Congress will have
difficulty in passing the fourteen large
appropriation measures before March 4,
even if the Christmas recess is aban-
doned. He stands by his previously an
nounced purpose to oppose the recess.

Since November 4

Portland, Me, Nov. 2S.-Leaving his

tomobile at the garage of the Maine
Motor CO. on Free street, Edwin F..
Coburn of Bethel. a summer hotel pro-
prietor, disappeared on Nov. last and
has not been seen since according to
the police to whom the matter has
been reported by Mrs. Coburn. The
mans description has been sent to
other cities by the local police, but
thus far nothing has been heard from
the missing man.
Closing his hotel at Mlddledam,
Rangeley, Mr.. Coburn accompanied by
his wife, enjoyed a cunning trip
through Aroostook county and after
returning home motored to this city,
where they registered at the Columbia
Hotel. The police say that Coburn had
been drinking considerably, SO much
SO. in fact, that Mrs. Coburn secured
a separate room at the hotel. On Nov
4, Coburn left the hotel and the only
report secured from him by Mrs. CO.
burn was that he was later seen at
Union station. Relatives in other parts
of Maine have been communicated with
by Mrs. Coburn but no trace of the
missing man has been found.
Cohurn is 40 years Of age, six feet,
one inch tall and weighs 1870 pounds.
He has blue eyes, mixed gray hair and
when last seen was dressed in a dark
suit made by John Coburn, a Lewiston
tailor, gray overcoat and green soft
hat. Coburn walks with a peculiar
swing caused by an injured hip, and
may be identified by several scars, one
on the back of the right hand. one
near the center of the forehead ano
one on the left side of the head near
the temple.

NO DEFINITE
TERMS FOR MATCH
WITH WILLARD

Chicago. Nov. 2s.-Tex Richard, the
New York promoter, after a final
conference here today with Jess Will
lard the heavyweight champion. an
nounced that he had not reached any
definite terms binding Willard to a
championship match.
Richard said. however, that his plans
were progressing satisfactorily. He
declined to reveal whom he had in
mind as probable opponent for Will
lard or where the contest, if arranged,
would be decided. He said he probably
would have an announcement to make
within a month.

combing the country for men. he de-
clared, with little success. The army
has been unable to obtain even the
20, 900 additional men provided Tor
when the Mexican situation became
acute and the navy is making such
slow progress with its increases that
officials are perplexed.
The Chamberlain bill would require
military training of all boys between
- and % years of age except those
specially exempted. The active divis-
ion composed of those between IS and
% years would be known as the citi-
zen army and the younger corps as
the citizen cadet corps.

Cotton

Barring occasional partial recessions,
cotton prices continued TO move strong
" upward, going again to new nlgn
levels for the season, and showing net
gains at the close of from 80 TO ~
points-nearly 81 a bale. As has been
the case so frequently of late, the
enormous buying by trade interests
supplied the principal feature.
As far as actual news was concerned,
about the only item was the fact that
the Liverpool market opened about o
points better than due and gained about
4 points more before the close. Ac.
eording to well informed members OF
the trade, the Southern spot news was
the most bullish of the season, as Tar
"a the domestic and foreign demand IS
concerned. Buying by American and
European spinners continues on large
scale in all Southern markets, where
advances of from &c TO &c were re-
ported. E..
Ii was commented upon as signih-
cant feature that selling for Southern
account was not of large volume, and,
as a matter of fact, buying orders were
received from parts OF the South. II
was true that certain spot interests
which had been free buyers previous TO
the last sharp upturn were disposed 10
take in their handsome profits. One
large commission house, for instance,
sold 10000 bales of January between
1890 and 18c, while other interests
sold about $4,000 January and took
$4,000 May in its place. Otherwise the
bulk of the offerings came in the shape
of realizing sales from Wall Street
houses, there being particularly heavy
selling of January around 1Sc.
This heavy pressure caused January
to drop over 10 points at one time, but
within a short time these offerings had
been completely absorbed and the price
jumped up over 80 points. When 18;1oc
was reached, a great mass of stop-loss
orders WAS encountered, and the execu-
tion Of these carried the price points
further. In addition TO continued buy
ing by prominent professional bull OPP
orators, a further broadening was no
