The board was actuated to make the
probe when members were informed
that wires lending from the prison elsc-
tric lines had been run into a building
on West High street. The connection
was made to wires leading from the
temporary capitol to the supreme

Official announcement Of appoint
nent Of Dean F. B. Mumford Of the
Missouri College Of Agriculture IS
tate food administrator has been
made. His nomination was sent to
no White House By Food Admtnistra-
toe Hoover.
Dean Mumford went to Washington
It the invitation Of Mr.. Hoover. and
utter . conference Is said to have
agreed to accept the appointment II
approved BY President Wilson. Gov.
Gardner ia understood to have recon-
mended DR.. Mumford to Mr.. Hoover.
As chairman Of Missouri Council Of
Defense, Dean Mumford has been In
| close touch with government war 40
| dvities. Because Of his training and
peculiar grasp Of food conditions, Mr..
Hoover regards him rs On admirable
Selection for food administrator in
Missouri.
There is a possibility that Dean
Mumford also may be placed In charge
5f the fuel situation in Missouri, as
we'll as the food. No announcement
In regard to the fuel administrator has
been made, however. Until his ap-
pointment as food administrator has
been confirmed by the president, Dean
Mumford Is not expected to make any
statement.
Missouri is one OF the states In
which difficulty has been experienced
In getting either a food or fuel admin
lstrator. Because Of this fact. the fed
eral officials have been somewhat
handicapped in dealing with the sit
uation In the state.

The Hague.-lt Is reported that
Chancellor Michaelis must 60 and the
question is now being freely discussed
In the German press.
The vorwaerts observes that the
kaiser was badly advised when MI
chaelis was appointed, but that he
was the only possible man in the
kaiser's encourage. 1t declares that
the next chancellor must not be cho-
sen by the kaiser or by the court. but
the reichstag. and that the kaiser Is
greatly mistaken II he imagines the
reichstag is going to be satisfied with
his n Of appointing chancellors.
The Volkstimme talks Of an impos-
sible government. saying that the
chancellor has left an impression OF
distrust and depression instead Of
strength. The paper says the only rea.
son Michaelis was not Immediately
unseated was that other parties did
not want to give Secessionist Social
lists a triumph.
The Essener General Anzeiger says
the chancellor has quite decided to re-
tire and that Prince Won Buelow and
Admiral Won Tirpitz are likely candi
dates.
The official Koelnische Zeituns
states that Admiral von Capelle was
not acting in accord with the chancel
Ior when the disclosures Of the nava
mutiny were made.
This may. however, be a means O
making Won Capelle a scapegoat il
the hope of saving Michaelis.
