Widespread Conspiracy
To Destroy Livestock
Reported by HOOVer

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Intimation that a
widespread conspiracy exists to destroy
livestock and grain in stockyards and
elevators throughout the middle west,
was contained in a telegram received
by Harry A. Wheeler, Illinois food ad-
ministrator, from Herbert Hoover,
shortly before noon today.
Hoover urged Wheeler to take steps
to warn packers and grain men against
incendiary fires and other means of
destruction, and advised him to take
up with the proper authorities the plan
Of having all stoekyards and elevators
in the state patrolled by home guards
troops.
The federal food administration re-
ferred to the recent destructive fires in
the Kansas City stockyards and the
Brooklyn elevators, and declared there
must be no occurrences"
Hoover declared emphatically that
the government is in possession of evi-
denee that widespread plot exists to
destroy food supplies.

AMERICAN LEADERS,
BREAKING in HEALTH
BY STRENUOUS WORK
Heads Of Various War Boards
Succumb to Strain
Secretary Lane III
By George Martin,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Oct. 27-The leaders of
America 5 business genius are break
ing themselves on the war wheel by
their terrific speeding up to help the
allies smash Prussianism.
The collapse of Chairman Frank A.
Scott of the war industries board and
his consequent resignation and depar-
ture for a sanitarium is just an example
of what the nations 81 year war
makers are doing to themselves
The near breakdown of Admiral
Capps, of the shipping board is another.
Capps has been called off his 16-1S-20-
hour "a day schedule just in time to
prevent his sharing Scott IS fate, it is
said.
Barney Baruch has fought with every
hour in the twenty-four to keep up to
his schedule. He seems to be doing it.
Food Administrator Herbert Hoover
tolls at his big desk nights and days.
Most of the daytime goes for confer
ences; the night to studying what has
come to his hand during the day. He
scarcely takes time to eat.
Thomas A. Edison, here, and working
hard, has no corner on his famous
"work jags."
Secretary McAdoo, though still going,
is worn out from the liberty bond cam
paigns, but refuses to take a rest.
Secretary of the Interior FrFanklin K.
Lane went down under the war burden
and has been i'll in bed.
What is true of the bigger men is
equally true of their staffs and sub
ordinates. Washington is a war fac
tory working on twenty-four hour
basis with only one shift of skilled lab-
orers to keep it going.
A certain group of cantonment en-
gineers started their task with a con-
tinuous session of three days and
nights. They have been at it constant
ly ever since and even now eighteen
hours is short days work for them.
The President himself learned his les
son long ago and keeps fit by taking
brief vacations. Should his staff of
volunteer helpers confine themselves to
an eight hour day America s war pro-
gram would be set back from six to
nine months for they average 16 to lS
hours day now.
They are all under tremendous
strains, hurried and driven by the real-
ization that the war branches they are
organizing are desperately needed to
help the allies give Germany the final
drive.
Not least among these battlers with
time is provost Marshal General
Crowder and his staff, to whom fell the
task of getting the nations man
power organized and flowing camp.

.GG|ES WILL MEET
CALIFORNIA TODAY

Berkeley, Cal, Oct. 27.-Undergrad-
yates at California university were not
very hopeful of California s chances
this afternoon in the game with the
Oregon Aggies on California field. AL
though the Aggies are not as power
full an aggregation as the school boasted
last year, they have lost few good men
as the result of the war, while Califor-
MIA IS squad is made up almost entirely
of novices.
Despite the gobs of gloom on the cam
pus, Head Coach Ancy Smith believes
his proteges will make a good show
ing. He thinks this afternoon Is contest
will be the hardest of the season fol-
the Bears and that, if they can win it,
their chances of winning the other in
tercollegiate games on the schedule are
excellent.
