AN OCEAN OF FORCE.

The committee on patents Of the house OF
representatives has reported favorably a reso-
luton to investigate mysterious little machine
for which the astonishing claim is made that it
can propel an aeroplane to Europe and back
without carrying any fuel. The inventor as
serts that he has tapped ocean of power,
claim somewhat reminiscent Of those once made
by Mr. Kelley Of motor fame; yet, for all that
it may be true. Mr.. Kelley is believed to have
discovered power he did not understand and
could not control. The supposition is not in
credible, nor is the claim Of Mr.. Giragossian-
for that is the inventors name-that he has
'sshooked on as Kelley used to phrase it, to
a "polar force whatever that may be. We
utilize in our high explosives the resistless vigor
|of molecular force; but atomic force, conJectur-
ally even greater, has not been harnessed I'M
less this latest claimant has found the way.

A piece of news almost too good to be true
is that Chicago spectators who put fifty-one
million pounds Of poultry into cold storage last
fall realize now that they stand to lose and
are trying to unload. To this end they are
conducting campaign advising the people to
demand cheaper poultry, their object being to
force retail dealers to buy the frozen stock. 1t
would be a pity to see SO much food kept until
it is unfit for use; but nothing better could
happen to the country than to see such greedy
producers come to grief

HEARING IS CONTINUED
Committee Takes Evidence
on Supplemental Railway
Legislation.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Hearings before
railway legislation to supplement the
Adamson law were continued today
with James A. Emery representing the
National Association OF Manufactur-
ers and other employers organizations
and Ralph NJ. Easley of the National
Civic federation, as witnesses.
Mr.. Emery, speaking, he said, in be-
half of $500 Industrial plants in %
states interested. particularly in an un-
interrupted flow of commerce vital to
their business. denied that the pro-
posed arbitration bill would infringe
the right of an individual to quit his
employment. but said it was directed
only against a combination or con-
spiracy that would interfere with in
tcrstate commerce.
Mr.. Easley, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the National Civic
federation. speaking for himself, OPP
posed the arbitration bill. The Cana
dian disputes act, similar to that be-
fore the committee, had not proved Il
success, he said. He believed neither
the railroads nor the brotherhoods
now wanted the Adamson act, which,
he declared. was an emergency
measure.
Pressed by Senator Robinson Mr.
Easlcy said he had no legislation to
suggest to prevent strikes which
might work better than existing law

Missing Kansas Honor Con

Texas Officials.

Levenworth. Kas., Jan. Am of
ficcr of the state penitentiary left here
I today for Fort Worth, Texas. to OBJ
tain custody Of Henry A. schaRper. =
missing honor convict who appeared
at police headquarters there today
and announced that he was ready TO
return to prison, some So hours after
his To-day Christmas parole had ex-
pred.
Officers Of the prison expressed
themselves at q loss tonight to know
how to procede with Schapper's case
and Warden ]. X. Codding was certain
only of the fact that the honor system
in the prison would not be endangered
because the last man had failed to
live up to the terms of leave granted
him and 16 other convicts by Governor
Arthur Clapper.
The l6 others returned on time" the
warden said. THAT is sufficient to
prove the honor system is right. We
are hoping Schapper will be able to
clear himself and prove that 1T was
not his fault he did not come back.
Only Schapper would suffer for his
failure to return on time"
Brief dispatches from Fort Worth
said that Schapper declared he had
been without money and had remained
there since Monday with his wife. 1t
was said he went to the police station
of his own accord and announced that
he would return at once to Leaven-
worth without guards. Warden Cod
ding hopes that is correct and also do
the convicts here who were paroled
with him and who have read often in
the prison paper, The Square Deal of
which he was the editor his frequently
repeated editorials pleading with the
prisoners to uphold at all times, the
Square DEAL and 1.-The honesty of
their word"
1t is uncertain whether Schapper will
continue as editor of the paper.

Washington, Jan. 4.--lf the entente
reply to the presidents peace note fails
to meet his proposal for an early occa-

dent will not let negotiations drop but
will make at least one more move. This
became known definitely today. al
though 1t is indicated that no final de-
cision on the nature of the next step
has been reached. If another commu-
nication is sent, it is expected to make
more clear the position of the presi

the comment abroad and in the United
States and Of the debate in the senate
confusion has arisen as to just what
he intended.
The presidents chief hope in the Ill

known to lie In his suggestion that
means be found for maintaining peace
in the future. II any agreement on
that point can be reached. the prcsi-
dent is said TO feel 1t might be possible
to end the present conflict. The presi-

PllR INJURY
Department Officials Take
Over Evidepce Secured
by Commission.

Washington. Jan. attorney Gem
eral Gregory today took over the yield
tof the federal trade commissions In
quiry into the print paper market with
4 view to determining whether there
! is II paper trust and to fnstituting
civil and criminal proceedings against
manufacturers or others who may
| have violated the antitrust laws.
President Wilson is actively inter-
ested in recent disclosures of practices
pursued in the production and distri-
button OF print paper and Is under
closely.
a mass of complaints and testimony
and large number of secret reports
from the commissions field force Of
investigators have been placed in the
attorney generals hands.
The formal taking over of the inquiry
by the department today was In re-
Spouse to the following letter sent to
the attorney general by Secretary
Bracken of the commission:
'As you know, the federal trade
commission. pursuant toS resolutions
of the senate. has been conducting an
inquiry into conditions in the print
paper market.
',rhe commission is Of the opinion
that the inquiry has now reached a
stage where the further cooperation
OF the department of justice would be
advantageous"
The attorney general replied
The department will at once take
up the matter and to that end / will
have attorneys of the department
meet with the commission or with
attorneys of the commission as may
be desired and 20 over the data al
ready collected as basis for de-
terminng what further steps to take.
Il know, of course. from what has
already been brought out that a Sc,
rious condition exists in this trade,
and that any remedy which the law
may. afford should be applied at once"
Beyond asserting that the investi-
cation and any action the department
might take would be FASTENED as
much as possible. Mr. Gregory de-
clined to comment on the situation.
1t is understood, however, that de-
partment officials are prepared to in
stitute speedily q dissolution suit
against any manufacturers within
federal jurisdiction who are believed
to have conspired to effect monop-
oily. In addition, department officials
are understood to be preparing to ask
for criminal indictments should analy-
sis Of the evidence warrant such ac-
ton, and 1t is believed the criminal
proceedings, il undertaken, would be
pressed ahead Of the civil proceedings.
The trade commissions investiga-
ton was conducted in response to
congressional resolution and a report
to congress will be made within a few
days. Publishers charged at the hear
ings that the manufacturers had COM
bined both to control prices and to re-
strict production.
Paper manufacturers terminated the
final trade commission hearing sud
denly more than n week ago when
they refused to discuss figures gath
cred by the commission bearing on
costs and profits. They explained
they had not had time to study the
statistics and probably would. not
have for several months.

The frame work of the gun car
riage is then constructed to look

possible. A four inch oak sap

A UNITED PEOPLE.

Men who hold office and who
hope to be reelected are always
more or less careful of what
Jhey do and what they say.
The successful office holder is
the man who makes friends in
Office, makes few enemies and
keeps his political fences in
good repair. Such a man will
come before the people on the
day Of The election with the
reasonable certainty of continu-
ing in office.
Our national Office holders
have a greater responsibility be-
fore them. They have greater
issues to handle and therefore
their political actions are re,
viewed more extensively.
Senators and, congressman are
held responsible not only for
what they do for their constitu-
ents at home, but for what they
do with great national questions,
affecting the people as a whole.
For this reason these gentlemen
are very cautious in commit
ting themselves.
just now the question which
is causing some uneasiness
among members of Congress is
what their supporters at home
will think of their attitude in
voting for or against the pre-
paredness measures being faith
cred by President Wilson. They
have no occasion to worry.
Party lines have for the time
being been set aside. Many OF
President Wilson's most loyal
supporters in both House and
Senate are Republicans.
From time to time we run
across some explanatory state
ment of a weak -kneed member
apologizing and explainin g why
he is behind President Wilson,
and why he, an accepted mem
ber of the Republican party
has joined forces with the Dem
Ocrats.
This is absurd. His conststu-
ents at home would censure him
ii he did not place implicit faith
in the president and support
him in every way possible.
When he appears before the
voters of his congressional dis
trict it will not be to explain
why he voted for q Democratic
war measure, but why he did not
vote for itand why he did not
stand unflinchingly behind Wood
row Wilson. TIL g president is a
Democrat, it Is true, but at
such d time it does not make
the slightest difference what the
political affiliations may be. He
