entertainment last week OF the French
and British war commissions in New
York
Mr. Choate was IS years old--a lie
time during which he was one OF the
most distinguished practitioners OF law
IN the United States, ambassador to
England with signal success, speaker
applauded on innumerablc public occa-
Slons, and, finally, a remarkable octo-
'gcnarian.
He came from an old New England
family noted for strength of character
and mental vigor. His father was a
cousin Of the famous Rufus Choate. He
was graduated from Harvard in 1852,
a college mate OF Phillips Brooks lie
established himself in New York in
1856 soon after finishing his law stud
les, and as member OF the firm OF
Eyarts, Southmayd and Choate he rose
to leadership OF the New York bar.
In All Celebrated Cases.
He appeared in all the celebrated
caSeS--it was said a case was not a
case unless Choate appeared in it
where his iluency and wit and search
ing Dissemination brought him con
siderable success. He figured in the
prosecution OF Boss" Tweed and his
followers who looted the New York
City treasury; he so successfully de
tended General Fitz John Porter. that
hy reversal OF a court-marllal that Of
flcer was rcinStated; he appeared in
the Tilden will case. the contest over
Commodore Nanderbilt's millions. and
the Chinese exclusion case, arguing
against the validity OF the act. These
are but a few of the famous litigations
in which he figured, his presence in
yarably making any case IAN intellec
tual treat for the public, and a pro
ieSSional education for junior members
OF the bar"
His professional income during the
height Of his career was believed to
be the largest OF any practitioner in
the American courts, though IT may
occasionally have been surpassed by
some OF the huge fees paid for special
services by some OF the great corpora
tions lie won his way through COM
blnation OF good humor which gave
him the power to hold the attention OF

REFUGEES ARE
HALF STARVED

Geneva, Aug. 1.-THE Swiss press Is
indignant over the condition OF Ameri-
can Jews from Palestine and Syrian
i, towns who have arrived in Switzerland
after eight weeks Of constant travel
ing under terrible conditions.
The Zuricher Zeitung says that old
men, women and children among the
refugees had been unable to change
their linen for eight weeks and that the
majority of them were covered with
vermin. They also were half starved.
The American consular service in
Switzerland is taking care Of the ref
ugees, many Of whom will be unable to
continue their voyage to America for
some time, owing to bad health. The
blame for the condition Of the refu-
gees is placed on the Austrian and
Turkish governments.

lies during the war, but in the event Of
peace or defeat OF the submarines these
would be available and might seriously
demoralize the demand for American
wheat.
o-lt must be clearly understood that
the guaranteed minimum price OF s. per
bushel for wheat, set out in the food bill,
does not apply TO the 1911 harvest. but
only to the 1918 harvest, and then under
conditions which must be elaborated
There is, therefore, no determined price
for the 1917 harvest.
The result Of this situation Is that the
normal price making machinery is entire
~ broken down unless some efficient gov
eminent action is brought into play either
(A) the American producer may face d
slump in wheat possible. below his pro-
duction cost, and OBJ the export price Of
wheat, which ultimately determines the
real price, is at the will Of single agen-
cy. (C)Someone must buy the surplus
wheat al any given moment and if the
surplus passes into speculative hands It
will be held for higher prices later in the
wear. I'D With stabilized prices extra
hazards are introduced in all distribution
links which must be paid for by the con-
suner. It must be evident that the Unit
ed States government can more Justly
deal with the Situation than any Of the
agencies mentioned.
Government Licensing
"Therefore the food administration has
determined 70 take the following course:
First--In order to eliminate speculation in
wheat and -four all elevators And mills
over 100 barrels daily capacity will be re"
CURED to take out a government license,
the conditions Of this license to be:
That only reasonable and custom
airy charges shan be made for ware
house service: that np wheat shall be
stored for more than so days with
out the approval of the food admins
tration; that certain information as
to receipts and shipments shall be
supplied regularly. The grain ex-
changes are being asked to suspend all
dealings and quotations in future
wheat. These regulations will come
into force Sept. / and the licenses will
be prepared this week.
while farmers cooperative ele-
vators are excepted by the food bill.
this, however, only applies to mutual
concerns and not to stock companies,
and in any event under the advantages
of joining the plan, none are likely to
stand out.
