Are in Danger.
ONE VICTIM IN HOSPITAL

Before Joseph Seymour. an automobile
demonstration, went into n cell In the
West 123d street police station last night
he a created excitement all the way
from Seventy-second street and Central
Park West to t25th street and Seventh
avenue. including many intersecting thor
oughfares. He had shown Motorcycle
Policeman King some entirely new
wrinkles In racing through crowded
streets and lunhng policemen. just missed
a half score OF pedestrians. scraped "A
crosstown car and finally knocked over
David Arthurs. a carpenter. who. bruised,
is now In Harlem Hospital.
Seymour was charged with %feionious
assault In hitting the carpenter. driving
an automobile while intoxicated and also
exceeding every speed limit on the books.
King was on the Weet Drive at seventy
seventh street Just after dark when he
espied a big black touring car coming
north at abou forty miles an hour. King
caught the car at Seventy-ninth street
and was Just handins, the lone driver a
summons when he perceived that 1t would

The car in the meantime had been

TO INVESTIGATE INCREASES.
Government Orders Probe Into High
Cost of FOodstuns.

Philadelphia, Nov. 7.-According to an.
nouncement made here today. Federal
Department OF Justice will Immediately
begin a searching investigation into the
cause of the high cost Of living. An order
to this effect has been received from At
torney General Thomas W. Gregory at
Washington. by the head Of the depart
ment's bureau of investigation in this
city, and 1t was learned that similar
orders had been directed to all bureaus
throughout the country.
The Investigation will be especially
aimed at ascertaining the reason for the
present high cost OF milk, wheat, canned
goods, foodstuffs and coal, and every
factor connected with the cost Of pro-
duction will be subject to rigid inquiry.
The Washington herald., 1916-11-08

A women's committee investigating the b;eb
cost of food in Peoria, Ill., discovered that carloads
Of potatoes had been. dumped into the Illinois
River to keep up prices. This is not a new trade
prictice; New York has known of it in the matter
of dumping fruit and vegetables into the harbor
to relieve a glutted market. What makes the
wanton destruction conspicuous in this case is that
it is perpetrated at time of scarcity and for the
purpose of maintaining prices at an oppressive
figure. 1t is an act that will prompt the question
why the malicious destruction of food to influence
prices or effect shortage should not be made a
punishable offense. If it is a crime to manipuIate
prices by cornering commodity, it ought to be
equally crime to cause scarcity by DESTROYING
food.-New York World.

Many Englishmen will agree with the unnamed
diplomat in Washington, whose views were set
forth yesterday, that trade campaign against the
central powers after the war would not realize the
expectations of those who advocate it. Business
quickly forgets animosities when a chance for
profit arises; even now, in the midst of war; the
British government is obliged to take measures to
prevent its own citizens from dealing with tho
enemy. What would be feasible, and what the
Paris conference probably had chiefly in mind, is
such protection from German competition as
would enable Belgium and France to rebuild as
soon as possible their injured industries Proba-
bly, too, all the European countries will endeavor
by tariffs to meet competition from any quarter
But anything like boycott of any one OF them
would be predestined to failure-Philadslphia

nized as one of the most capable executives in

The coal shortage trouble is not imaginary but
is due to natural causes, and not to the malicious
action of anybody in any large degree. Doubt
less there is some speculation and some extortion.
Consumers OF coal can help themselves more than
they can be helped. They can use substitutes, like
oil or gas They can moderate their demands to
their necessities and not seek to buy coal away
from their neighbors, thus associating themselves
with the worst spectators. They can take care
not to be caught in like manner next year.-New
