NO PRICE is FIXED ON BEANS
BY THE FOOD ADMINISTRATION

In answer TO inquiries from the
important bean-producing sections
the United States Food Administra-
tion announces that it has fixed no
price on beans and does not contem-
plate doing 50.
The army and navy have recently
purchased specific lots of beans to be
lshipped before November 18th. The
Federal Trade Commission advised
as to costs of beans in the hands of
dealers and the Food Administration
advised as to where these orders
might be placed, but the purchases
we're made by the properly consti-
tuted authorities. /. e., the Quarter
master General of the army and the
( iPaymaster. General of the navy.
Orders Placed With Dealers.
The Food Administration is in
| formed that these orders were placed
almost entirely with dealers, and
that while these prices may have
been below market value, they rep
resented fair profit to dealers based
on Federal Trade Commission re-
ports
The food-eontrol act does not au
thorize the Food Administration to
/ fix prices to the grower of beans, but
it has the responsibility of prevent
ing the various agencies in distribu
tion from exacting unreasonable
profits. to the end that beans may

must be discontinued. and dealers
are required to sell at a reasonable
profit over actual cost at the time of
sale, without regard to the market
Or replacement value.
Protects Producer and Consumer.
This policy is adopted for the pro-
lection of the producer as well as for
Ithe consumer, and it is much to be
desired that every bean grower using

exercise due care and diligence should

the government could undertake to
protect individuals or districts which
have been unfortunate in weather
and crop conditions if the general
supply operates in such way as to
make the market values disappoint-
ing for particular sections. While
the crops in New York state and
Michigan. are disappointing, the en-I
ormous increase in Colorado, New
Mexico, and California far more than
offset these shortages and must nee
essarily affect the general market
values.
Imports from Manchuria.
In recent years large importations
of Manchurian beans of good quality
have been brought into this country,
and the reports now are that the
Manchurian crop is vastly increased
over any previous year. By reason

CHAPTER XVI.
THE TURN OF THE SCREW.

It was moment later thai
Kasia Ward, still sitting at the
window staring out into the court,
searching desperately through her
brain for some plan Of escape, was
brought quivering to her feet by
shril scream, followed by the
sound Of a terrible struggle on the
floor above. There was a heavy
tramping to and fro, the thud of
falling furniture, a dull crash that
shook the house and then silence.
| 1t was over in moment, but she
stood rigid for a moment longer,
her hands against her heart, then
she flew to the door and wrenched
at the knob.
The door did not yield. Painting
with excitement, she snatched up
a chair and drove it with all her
strength against the lower panel.
The chair flew to pieces in her
hands, but the door held firm. And
then, as she looked about for an
other weapon, she heard the sound
of a sliding bolt, the door swung
open, and Pachmann entered. He
looked at her and at the broken
lchair, and smiled slightly.

NAVY PUTS BAN ON
ALL OUTWARD SHIPS
Refu9ed German Vessels Also
Inspected to Guard Against
Possibility of Dash.

No vessels of any description except
dump scows were permitted to leave the
port last night. by order OF Dudley
Field Malone. Collector of the Port. The
navy tug Pentucket and the destroyer
Henley in the Narrows turned back all
craft which attempted to pass, even
small tugs.
Meanwhile George +. Lamb, Deputy
Collector OF the Port made an inspection
Of the German steamships refuged In
Hoboken, at 135th street In Manhattan
and in other parts OF New York harbor.
No explanation OF the order was forth
coming from official sources. but unOf-
ficially 1t was learned that n rumor had
been circulated that the crews OF the
German ships were preparing to make
a dash to sea in the hope of outrunning
the Gordon of British cruisers in these
waters or Of scuttling them on the high
seas. The rumor arising upon the very
night when the latest German note was
made public, obviously caused the Col
lector to decide to take no chances.
Inspection OF the German vessels
developed that none Of them has enough
coal for half days voyage.
4. has been understood since the be-
ginning Of the war that prompt action

alton should arise under which the crews
or agents of the vessels might desire to
destroy their own vessels, There are
twenty-four steamships belonging to the
Central Powers which are tied up In the
Hudson. Three Austrian vessels are
tied up IN Brooklyn. They are Inspected
